I have seen in a bunch of threads where people talk about the % of their battery and how it drops from 100 to 90 right when they take it off of the charger...how do they know that? The only time I can see the battery % is when it is plugged in. What am I missing?
There are Widgets on the market to show you the percentage and some roms have it included or need to manually turn it on like cm6..

Can you name a good one? Something that is monitoring battery power seems like it would drain the battery more?
You could install the smoothsense theme which comes with a custom battery icon that has percentage in it
Are there any apps that work?

Battery indicator pro, batstat widget, or if you're rooted you could flash a battery icon mod onto your stock rom like what I use in my attached file.

Thank you. Do I just put the apk on my phone and run it?
battery status can be found in the market...good percentage indicator and free too
"Battery monitor" off the market is very good. Epic comes with it, so I dl'd it for my Evo and it's very good. Free too.
I made a version of something like Haus's battery code. Mine are round and have indiviual % (100, 99, 98...3,2,1)
Green: 30-100%
Orange: 15-29%
Red: 0-14%

Hi,
Anyone knows how to tweak the battery icon on the titlebar to only show the low battery icon after 20% instead of 40%?
same.
40% is much too high to be warning battery low.
same here since i installed black diamond.
also live messenger signs in, says im online, but doesnt display any contacts online.
they can message me and it works, but i cant initiate a conversation
i have that 40% thing too, was just waiting for someone else to mention it too!!
40% is too high!!
i thought this was an isolated issue.. but it seems to be WM6 RTM specific. is they any way to change it to another value (reg hack?)
Drooch
I Have this issue too, started searching the registry, but no luck so far. if anyone has any suggestions would be appreciated.
The same here. Think I got this 40% after testing LVSW latest ROM, but not sure honestly

Well, there're some problems with the dll file phcanOverbmp.dll.
We can simply hex the icon of this file to fixing the bug, maybe this's not a bug...
I thought it was an issue with black shadow hehehe. well, I'll just keep looking until someone comes up with a fix.
haha I just noticed this today on schapps and was scratching my head about it. I figured my battery was dying cause of the car charger.
There has got to be some quick registry hack for this

what exactly does this do? Remove the battery warning all together?
Hi Bingo123,
I trust you wouldnt trash my system so i have upload the dll for testings already.
Weird thing is Black Dymond's similiar Dll is 137K but yours is only 87K. I did a google check and that dll links to changing the U icon to 3G in many forums.
My battery is now at 80% let me check 3G icon also.
will keep all of ya posted. Wish me luck hahaha
This is what you need to fix messenger. I had the same problem so installed this. you can now add users too but not change avatar or display name afaict but it's a start

Huh? tcSPVm3100, We are talking about the Battery Icon on the titlebar. Nothing about Msns bro.
anyways, ITS FIXED!!!! YIPPEEE!
Bingo123! you are right. The dll fixed it. Thanks for the inspiration and guide!
For everyone else, Bingo123's DLL should fix the battery icon thingy but i when to look at the contents and saw some blank screens like phone background without a theme. I tested but didnt see any difference but then again, i only tested it for 1 hour.
Its really simple. Get a dll editor, (google it) and look for icons. I dont know why there are 2 lowbatt icons under 15 and 16 so i deleted it. Loading it back and it working A-Ok at least for the past 10 minutes with a battery amounting to 30%
Well, You have 2 options.
1. Use Bingo123's attached version or
2. Edit the DLL.
Good Luck
ugly 3g icon
i install the file from above it seems to have fixed the battery warning, but it changed the clean 3g icon into the ugly one.

But fixing the Clean 3G icon routes back to square 1. The Battery icon changes to a low battery icon at 40%. Does your patch also fixes the Battery issue?

I searched on here, but couldn't seem to find it.. I've looked in the manual, but nothing.
When you click the top banner bar it takes you to the notification screen, even when you click on the battery. I just wanted to know if there was a way to check the battery without just relying on the 4 bars?
The notification screen tells you the battery % remaining, and if you click it it takes you to the battery option.

Press the start menu in the top left of your home screen. Choose "settings", then choose the "system" tab. On there you will find an icon labeled "power". That will take you to a 10%-increment battery meter.
Yeah, I was hoping there was a better way to look at it than having to go through all that every time.
I guess on the sprint version it doesnt show it in the notification screen..
You are right, it's not on the Sprint version.
You could intall the 1% increment battery driver and a custom taskbar that shows the percentage of the battery.
thats too much work.. and I kinda like the normal htc taskbar.. ah well
The 1%-driver will only change the look of your power-info....not the whole taskbar!

I installed batti and really like it.
It's a really small prog that displays a color-coded bar across the top of the screen. You can adjust colors, bar thickness, and when it shows up and when it doesn't. give it a shot.

its not at all that im lazy, its that I like the original taskbar that comes with the phone.
I've done that with previous phones I've had.. and to tell you the truth, most of the task bars that people "think" look cool just make it look weird and gaudy.
for once, I want to install as little tweaks as possible to the phone to get it the way I want. I was just simply seeing if there was something I was missing with regarding to checking the battery status. On ANY other PPC I've had, all I had to do was click on the little battery icon and it would do the job for me.. but not this one. Thats it

You could extract the file(s) and change them yourself if you don't like the taskbars out there. I can't remember the exact file name(s), but you can do a search and there is a thread floating out there that tells you how to edit them.
my screen calibration was off just a touch so everytime i hit the battery icon it took me to the running programs tab. just my .02
For anyone looking to change their status bar, I strongly suggest BATTI. It is one of the first things I install whenever I flash a rom. You can customize the colors and actions, and with the 1% cab installed, it gives a pretty accurate battery reading at just a touch. One last thing, it will warn me when I hit MY low settings (ones I stated, not that Tmous or HTC set).
I wish I could remember the original thread, but I have had this for years (on my Wizard). I'd be happy to upload the cab if after a search you cannot find it.

It is necessary to edit the driver of the battery! Without it it show the exact percentage of the remaining battery power it is not possible!
so it's not easy to make it.. =\ anyway thanx!
I was at my local sprint store today and on their demo SGSII it had a battery notification on the left hand of the status bar with the percentage. Is this a stock notification or a market app? The battery looked just like the stock battery icon on the right side of the status bar.
Thanks

That happens when your battery gets fully charged... It only shows that its at 100%

Ok. Thanks. Makes sense cause the demo is always plugged in.

If you want an icon that will be in the left hand side of the screen and give you an exact percentage of what battery you have left, download Battery Indicator from the Market. The free version is fine, no need to do the paid version.
i am not looking for an application. i want to just display the percentage number close to the battery icon on the top task-bar. an application, even with a live title for displaying some info is not convenience.
thanks,

This is a good app
Moved to WP7 Software development
All software requests go in WP7 software development please.
Take it easy
O_G
i appreciate your help. i know this application is good (according to lots of people's feedback) but it is not convenient. basically if i go the setting> battery saver, i can see the percentage number over there too. i really do not think an independent application just showing the percentage value make any sense. by the way, the live title will drain the miserable battery which is not what i want.
again, i appreciate your input.
to bad, MS can not implement such easy task.

The background service runs once every 30 minutes, updates the tile and stops again. That's not really draining the battery

Its doable. Since xboxmod has already made a custom taskbar which has to be installed via his cab only available on certain roms though.
I tried really quick couple weeks ago to edit his icons with my own to have him resign it. They are located in a DLL just like windows mobile. When I made my own taskbar back then there was an icon for each 1% increment. Now back then there was a separate reg edit to get the % to show on the taskbar. But you could just use gimp and make a transparent layer with the % over the existing icon after using Reshacker( that's what I used couple weeks ago and couldn't find the icons, though worked fine on wm, possibly not able to read wp7 dll's ????) to extract the icons from the dll, then replacing the icons in the DLL after you add the % layer.
Would take a while. Just nobody has done it yet. If someone can tell me how/ where to get the icons from xboxmods taskbar I'd take on the task, might take a week or so though.
