My wallpaper won't scroll? Help?

Ok, so this is my first android phone...I've never had a touch phone before and I've had this one a few months and I really love it. Wonderful phone, super fast, usually pretty easy to use and customize...but I have one issue about my wallpaper. Other friends of mine seem to figure it out just fine but I can't, and they can't seem to figure it out on my phone either. I can't get my wallpaper to scroll with my homescreen as I change the page of the homescreen. It stays put. I can only have an option to select the picture and crop it. Gives no other option.

I also have GO Locker and I haven't really tried it because it seems kind of confusing, but I was seeing if I could do anything there... I saw the option to let the wallpaper move because it had a preferences option instead of settings, but EVEN THEN....it still doesn't scroll. It does with the ones it came with, sure, but nothing in any of my galleries.

What's wrong here? Anybody else having this problem? I am a noob to this stuff sorry lol. ^^; Also, I'm through Straight Talk, don't know if that changes anything, but really the service has been wonderful soooo I don't know? Eep.

I just recently switched to ST/Proclaim myself from the Sprint HTC Evo. My Proclaim is the same way in regards to the wallpaper. The picture doesn't scroll left or right as I change screens like it did on my Evo. Guess it's just another minor drawback of this phone.

The launcher that comes with the Proclaim doesn't have that feature. Download and install a launcher that does. GO Locker is a screen lock app... not a launcher.

I actually like this feature. Always the same picture of my wife only the home screens change.

Here is an app I found on a different forum that may help https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=lwp.superluminar.swallpaper&feature=sea rch_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImx3cC5zdXBlcmx1bWlu YXIuc3dhbGxwYXBlciJd

I believe what it does is treats the static wall paper as a live wallpaper and assigns the same gestures you use to scroll your home screens to scroll the wallpaper left and right. Works pretty good in my opinion and doesn't eat battery.
