Anyone know how to turn it off? It was nice for the first few days but the screen is so sensitive that I barely touch it and the screen spins like 3 times. I like that continuos between screens without having to go back but don't like the spinning effect. Thats honestly my only gripe with Sense 3.0, otherwise I love the phone.
Anyway to turn off the carrousel effect?

The general consensus is "I wish I could turn it off." Without rooting, installing an alternative launcher, or an update from HTC, I don't believe there's any way to do this.
Go to settings, display, animation. Select some animations shown. This will keep the carousel but remove the annoying spin.
Yeah i tried even turning off all animations and it doesn't get rid of it. I just don't understand its purpose, its just takes longer to get to a screen if he spins like that for a few seconds.

I don't know what you guys are doing but i can't get it to spin unless I really want it to. Why is it there? Because It's cool I guess. I mean why do people get third party launchers. Same reason. It's cool and different.
Mine is pretty sensative too. if im not paying attention it will fly. I dont see the purpose either, but sure its in the logic same as normal web scrolling. Both this and my 4G if I flicked a certain way would shoot to the end of the page fast.
I had already created a thread about this because I dislike it as well. Someone in that thread pointed out that swiping the entire screen causes the spin vs. Just half the screen. Seems to have helped me, but I still think the slot machine spin is pointless. It should be really difficult to spin it like that. I remember the second I got the phone thinking WTF? because I barely swiped and it spun out of control.

I like this phone but it's just full of gimmicks and the carrusel is one of them. All they did is hurt the user experience with so many gimmicks.
I actually like the carousel. All it takes is a slight flick to the left to get to my last screen instead of having to scroll all the way through all the screens. Having said that, there should be an option for people who don't like it to be able to disable it and include a setting to adjust the spin speed.
Yes it never happens to me because that is how I scroll... If you dont want your homescreens to spin follow ^ instructions... I was wondering why people were having that happen..
Full or really fast swipe across the screen, you get the spin. Slow or short swipe, the next page. Once you learn to use it, it is pretty cool.
Pretty sure we know how to do it or not do it.. just not 100% accurately since sometimes it happens regardless of how you think you're doing it.
The point is, other than aesthetics, there's no reason for it.

mine is useless because it spins so fast you can't control it. It is hard to start so it doesn't really bother me but it is useless
Sounds like a lot of us are used to other devices such as the Evo4G and this carousel effect will just have to take some more time getting used to, as another user pointed out, Im sure another launcher or a rooting may lighten the issue a bit
