Battery Meter

What are folks using in WM6 for a battery meter on the today screen? Seems like Batti went out of favor due to some potential memory leak issues, and I am looking for a replacement (small) app to quickly let me know how I am doing on battery life.
Anyone have a today screen plugin they like?

I use the O2plus battery meter - I did like Batti though (but had the memory issues)

I use LVM top battery as well. No options, but, hey,... How many options do you need for a simple meter? Think small app.!

I use SPB pocket plus for the battery meter, as well as other meters, and easy shortcuts right from my today screen.

whats good about this is you can see the drain on your batt. turn on your brightness and you see your Amper rising.
it`s light and you can see:
1. CPU load.
2. Batt bar.
3. batt. temp(important to know before she explodes
4. Current drain on the device

Wheee

Its nice, not that simple though.

anyone figure out how to make the battery meter not go by 10% increments...?

I was searching for an answer to this exact issue, when I found your post. I have the same issue with version 1.04.203 beta4, build 0218.

FWIW, WisBar Lite also has a battery meter similar to batti. It's pretty configurable (colors, segments). I've used it, but right now I use the one in SPB PocketPlus. Neither of these is free (WBLite is $4.95, though, so it's almost free), but each comes with some other nice usability features that, IMO, are worth the price.

CPU overclock

does exists a software specially for overclocking my P3300 CPU? I tried xscalar, or something like that, but it takes my device only on 196 mhz, starting from 133mhz (or this 133 is over my 200 mhz by default?)

Download BatterStatus Extended V. 1.04 Beta nightly build here. Every owner of P3300 has this installed. For more info... search this thread.

i've downloaded, and installed it. but my drain battery is very very very faster, in 5 minutes, drained 9%.

so what can i do?

Everytime I feel my Artemis needs an Overclocking - I give it a ROM straight up its slithery USB Hole !!!!
hee hee hee !

Look, just configure your ARTEMIS BatteryStatus,CpuScalar for 120, 201, 247 with this configuration your battery last for ever because when it doesnt need speed goes to the lowest speed, only if you are running aplication the overclock take action.
Hope it helps,

Thats cool, thanks!

If you can avoid it, don't overclock!
As stated earlier in this thread...
I've found that overclocking, even with scaling, seriously affects battery performance.
I was until today running Vanilla 2.0, which was ok until I added batterystatus, with either fixed or scale doverclocking - both of which drained the battery like crazy.
If battery status is an isuse, use a lean, clean rom and don't load up loads of stuff you don't need - then the device will perform faster... I've just switched back to the Dopod WM6 release, and unclocked it runs everyhting I need absolutely fine.
To me, overclocking is like the salad bar in Pizza Hut.... I ain't going near it!

lol, thats good! Fair point, I'll keep an eye on the battery life.
Perhaps changing the max speed to the standard speed, but keep the low idle speed set will improve power consumption?

I think you're probably better off just not installing stuff you don't need, and where posisble install to your SD card, keeping RAM as free as possible - that will give you a cleaner machine and reduce the need to be tempted to consider trying to overclock... make sure that you have low standby and backlight off settings when on battery use, and keep your device on charge overnight so you always have a devcent level of charge in the morning. If you need to, buy a desktop charger from ebay for a few quid, and stick your phone on it when you get home...

Thanks for the advice. The CPU clocking is being done with Battery Status, which is part of the ROM, so If power consumption continues to be a problem I'll disable the over-clocking function from the Battery Status Options.
As for charging I'm fine, I have an in-car charger and a 40 minute commute every morning/evening
Thanks again,
John

i've got a question about batterystatus, maybe some1 in this post knows the answer:
is there a way that batterystatus keeps the overclock setting while suspended? i would love to UNDERclock my cpu to 123mhz when suspended, so safe extra battery, but seems that everytime i suspend, BS sets it back to 201.
i tried the options, but i can't figure out if it's possible to over/under clock while suspended.

Have you tried the CPUScaler option? It's build in to version 1.04
For the original FAQ etc goto the BatteryStatus website. Or read more in this thread.

i haven't try it. i have artemis 2.2

Well, although I can't uninstall the battery bar I have disabled the over clocking! I sat yesterday and could almost watch the power drain in real time, even with the Max speed set to 201Mhz. I switched the function off and the battery is lasting a lot longer again.
Moral: Don't over-clock at all!

I've tried ALL the cooked ROMS here - I have a 'spare' device for testing...
I use my device for work emails, sat nav, personal mails, web browsing, music, and as my phone. I pair it up with a Sony Blootooth car stereo.
So... aside from a few games, what else do you need to do with your phone? I'd suggets that most of the stuff loaded onto some of the ROMS is completely superfluous and just clogs up the device - things like the touch cube are really tarty overheads. Over the past year, I have played with most stuff that's out there, free and paid, and have a pretty default set of standard stuff that I load onto a clean RM. I was using Vanilla 2.0, but that still ate battery, so when I read that the Dopod shipped WM6 ROm was fast and bare, I thought I'd give it a go, and I haven't looked back...
Here's what I have on it, all running from the Stoarage Card where possible:
CloseAll
Hibernate
Hbutton
TodayAgenda (enhanced Calendar on Today)
Sunnysoft Contacts (one fingered dialling in the car)
TotalCommander
TomTom 6
Coreplayer (gives far better bluetooth audio streaming, and plays videos)
iphone keypad (default one buttons too small in the car)
SamsungTime (big clock on Today, but doesn't have the weight of HTC)
With all of this, I get brilliant battery life and a more than adequate response time without any overclocking, and over 20mb useable ROM.

TangerineTractor,
Why have you choosen the Dopod WM6 rom?
After having that rom I switched to the official Europe WM6 rom. No big differences, but with Ms Office 2007 on board, now the Word and Excel files are fully compatible with my desktop PC. The only disadvantage was that I had to install AudioManager separatelly. (But, in fact, I rather use CorePlayer.) It's a stable and reasonable fast rom. Storage Memory is low but each prog is in Storage Card if applicable. And there is very low RAM leaking (after a day of usage it's still above 20 M -- and Spb Mobile Shell runs constantly!).
Have you tried the Europe ver.?

The Dopod WWE ROM from the Wiki link has Office Mobile on it, and to be honest, I hardly use that anyway... which do you mean by the Europe version - maybe I'll give it a blast..??

Is there a way to overclock TyTN?

hello friends! Xcpuscalar doesnt work with samsung cpu !!!
So I ask you.. is there a way to overclock TyTN?
Thanx

yeah..install pocket mechanic pro
www.pocketgear.com
i overclocked to 450 MHz...but battery life decreased..

you can use ClockWizard I now this program works with samsung cpu

Thanx friends! I m doing some benchmarks with a friend that has a kaiser,, TyTN vs kaiser,, I'll do a bench with OC in Tytn too
byee

def would like to know of results

I have got xcpuscaler installed on my device and it works really well.... I have increased my battery life though it and the performance has improved so much.

Dont u mean pocket hack master? Here is there site http://www.wizcode.com/
I also clock mine at 450. I found a bug or something, system is totally stable at 450..and fast. But when i dial out and i clock it to anything other than standard clock speed. It will dial out fine but if i try to end, it still says dialing and u have to to a reset or else u cant make or get calls.

I heard that xcpuscaler isnt acurate, That u can set up like 500 mhz and TCMP and other software show it at a lower speed.

xcpucalar really doesnt work in samsung cpu! I did samoe benchs in 500 and 300 mhz,, and the scores are the same!
When my tests TyTn vs kaiser is finished I ll post to u...

Is there anything free?

Pocket Hack Master is only good if you don't use the phone functions. This version is not stable if you want to use your phone AT ALL. Needs to mature a bit more before I'll continue to use it. TCPMP does show quite an improvement when overclocked, however.

So there's no a good way to overclock our TyTn

Some tweak for better battery life.

Hi
I found some tweak to improve battery life..not bad... i get it from some old forum when i am using TP.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Battery]
change from 5000 to 20000
Note: Remember to restart
You harm, you can always revert it back if you think it does not work :>
Sorry I didnt want to put them on the already Tweak post cos I not sure it will work for other :> Until it is confirmed by everyone. I work for me at least :>

what is it thats being changed exactly?

This tweak is for changing the amount is polled to the battery status so often that it actually drains the battery a LOT.
From default 5000 (5seconds) to 20000 (20seconds)

ah.. i see. problem is, i dont have a way to edit the regestry on the device lol.

I will try it when I get back from vacation.
Have you included any overclocking profiles in the kernel?

Just a mild OC of 1566, I will look into boosting it more at some point, but it is pretty smooth now...

Everything is perfect , except for the battery, i slept for about 9 hours and my phone lost 52% of battery. On battery history details , the 'awake' bar is completely full.
If you fix this, it's just perfect ! Cheers :laugh:

Try installing this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector and see what is causing the wake locks. For me I found that setting the volume rocker to switch songs was draining the battery (Validus settings, Buttons->Playback control). After that was unchecked all was good again..

ROM was stable until I fiddled with xblast tools xlocky settings. I had no issues with wake lock...very disturbing boot animation [emoji50] .luckily, no random reboots.

Here's what im looking at . i also disabled the button playback.
Edit: installed DeepSleep Battery Saver and set the profile to agressive , however during the night it didn't chabge a thing. But now i opened wld and the awake bar changed from 95% to 1% . sounds good now

It appears that you must reboot in order for the playback button wakelock to stop being triggered. Glad it is working for you now.
