Battery charger controler - Windows Mobile Software Development

Hi all, i'm wondering if any one has built and app that controls the battery charger in ppc. What I mean is that on my laptop , it has a built in app that prevents overcharge by removing the power to the battery by software and then applying the charge back on at around 90% (changeable).
Can this be done for a PPC. Within the power options on my HD2, it has a tick which prevent charging when phone is connected to PC via usb, so i'm assuming an app can be built to monitor the connection/charge level and then by software , charge/not-charge by a variable measure..... just a thought... as i work from home and my PPC is constantly on dock , and in 6 months time i'll probably be needing a new battery due to over/constant charge
Thanks in anticipation ....

USB connection without charging the battery?

i tryed this: HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\usbfndrv\EnableUsbCharging = 0
but the result is - indicator dont show craging, but the battery actualy charges (i put him on link in20%, after hour (indicator all of the time showing 20%) & restart - indicator says - 75%.
my question is - is there an additional software, or option, that dont allows charge of the battery on usb link ?
Hey
Did you soft reset your device after changing the reg? Maybe this would help.
Why would charging the orbit cause a problem anyway? Its great to be able to charge the orbit from just plugging it into my pc/works pc.
the problem of this hack is not in the restart:
"Disable usb charge
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\usbfndrv" set "EnableUsbCharge" to 0 and softreset
Be careful whith this tweak because it doesn't seem to charge (no amber LED) but it does !"
the quote is from:

i what to aware from "cicles" on the batery, which it takes from any plug into charge. (same way i shortly take the life from my ipod battery, when i use him for long time like mobile hdd storage) I whant to full discharge & full recharge my battery every time - just a little wirednes of mysalf. i belive this is good for batterys performance.

battery issue

hi guys,
i just checked out my ARTE160 battery. when i checked out the output voltage, i found that its 3.95~4.2 v when full charged. i jus checked this out with a multi meter. the battery is designed for 3.7v only, so does this mean there is a prob???
thx guys
I'm not a pro, but I think this means that everything is alright with the battery. I would rather worry if the voltage was below 3,7 V - that would definitely mean a problem.
well i find wat u say is logical but still im having some small prob in my phone.....
it keeps working well and suddenly the phone service alone wont work and gets hanged (means no calls and sms) after couple of mins mobile just researches the network and joins.
the prob is when this thing happens and someone calls me the call is ringing but i dont get any ring or alert in my mobile.......
also sms is not delivered kater but is lost completely......
i jus looked out somewhere that these probs may be due to battery........

I had to get a new battery and performed a hard-reset on my phone and all was well after that. make sure you have a back-up on your numbers....
well savain
thanks for ur reply.....
did u have the same kind of prob like the over voltage???

I've just chcecked the output voltage of my battery - when 45% charged - the voltage was 3.82 V.
in my opinion, your problem has nothing to do with the battery. I had same problem that you described - I switched to WM6 from WM5 - it did the trick.
now it hangs very seldom.
I guess that would help you (at least if you're using WM5).
oh but im using 6.1 at present
its TOM'S ROM.....
...
*for battery issue;
buy a new battery and
charge <----- device must be off!...
when green led light shows, its done..
this should sort your battery issue..
* for issue with - ''suddenly the phone service alone wont work and gets hanged..''
try a hard reset, if it still happens, open the device - open through the back of the device and simply give it a clean, ensure all connections are connecting, in other words, scratch the pins inside device if they need it.. assemble correctly and hope this helps..
-use cotton buds, the ones you use to clean your ears with..
-use a pin/needle to scratch connections..
*sounds like a hardware issue, not rom issue so cleaning inside the device is recommended..
*I've fixed my p3300 plenty of times now by just simply cleaning inside it.
- including the ''not charging'' and ''no sim'' issue people have experienced..
Not charging
HI Geeks, I have a problem with my blackstone battery. It is getting charged only up to 50 to 55 percent. I kept on charger for one ful night. But no use. I am using official ROM. Can you suggest any solution for that?
Help PLZ

Phone won't charge and softkeys don't work

For a few weeks I've had intermittent problems with my phone not detecting the USB connection and randomly turning itself on. After a while, these problems stopped and some new problems appeared. Now the phone is always detected on USB, but refuses to charge saying Charging paused, battery temperature too high. It does this every time I try to charge it. If the phone is off, it shows a yellow triangle with a thermometer. Along with this the softkeys and home button quit working at the same time.
So far I have tried resetting to factory default, a new battery and replacing the USB charging flex port and it still won't charge. Monitoring programs show the temp fixed at 60C and never moves. Is there a replacement I can get for the temperature sensor or some way to disable the check? I am rooted and am willing to try anything. Right now it's looking like I may need a new motherboard.
I have ordered a wall charger so I can at least use the phone and I downloaded a softkey app so I have buttons again.

Boot phone when battery is detect (like APCI on PC's)

Hello!
I have a Android phone (SG S4mini) that i put on my car to work with TorqueOBD2 and GMaps apps.
I'm from Salvador, Bahia, Brasil and here is super very hot place. And so, to avoid start a fire on my veichle I remove the phone baterry, put a Buck Converter (12v for 3.7v) and connect on post ignition key, direct on baterry terminals (soldering)
All works perfect for a long time till now. But my only problem is: i need manually turn on the phone every time I turn on the car.
So, I need a way to automatic turn on my phone on when voltage (or current) is detect on baterry.
Just to be clear, is not boot when charging, because I do not use the charge port. Is BOOT WHEN VOLTAGE/CURRENT IS DETECTED ON BATERRY TERMINALS.
Plz I really need help!

BATTERY NOT CHARGING - S4 MINI i9190

Hi
I flashed lineage 14.1 OS over the manufacturers stock ROM about 3 weeks ago. The Lineage ROM had issues BUT the battery was still charging normally. (Worth noting that the battery was also charging perfectly fine on when the manufacturers Rom was still installed). Seeing as Lineage 14.1 had a host of other issues, I then flashed AOKP's version of Pie with GAPPS Micro. At first, the battery would charge until 53%. However after it drained to 0%, it has not charged properly since. (6 days or so).
A) Battery is about 6 months old, so relatively new
B) non-charge problem started with installation of AOKP version of Pie
C) I have used a couple of battery health apps,which reveal the following:-
c.1) Battery health is fine
c2) Voltage 3.5V (essentially 0% charge)
c3) amperage averaging around 30mA
c4) Battery Manager and other apps state that the battery is "connected but not able to charge"
D) I have tried deleting the batterystats.bin file, which had no affect
E) I have tried using recalibration apps off Google Play Store with no affect.
F) I have cleaned the USB port and tried different cables, also with no affect.
I'm going to try flash another OS shortly. Other than that my last idea is to purchase a new battery. HOWEVER just thought I'd ask if anyone has any other bright ideas as to what might have happened to a perfectly functional battery? Another thing worth mentioning is that the power button on this device doesn't 'click' anymore. So one cannot feel that the button has been pressed, you have to press harder to ensure that the device powers on. It was like that for a long time before this battery problem started but thought I'd mention it. Can a faulty power button be causing a massive power drain on the battery OR be stopping it from charging?
EDIT - when the phone is off and plugged in to the charger, the battery icon shows it as "charging". However if I leave it for a few hours and switch the phone on again, it still reflects as 0% charged and only switches on with the power cable attached. Also I cannot get into recovery mode, after shutting down, unless I leave the phone plugged in and "charging" for a while. It's like recovery mode needs at least some power from the battery.

Does anyone know of a battery app/ software that one can run in recovery mode OR prior to booting? I'm wondering if this battery problem is software related or hardware related.

Now, it appears, I cannot even boot into TWRP recovery. I suspect the non-charging battery is the problem.

You won't believe it!!! After trying every solution known to man, turns out that the battery just doesn't sit snugly in the phone, so it doesn't make good contact. ???*♂??
Charging now that I manually pushed it up against the contacts.
