I previously sorted out the locking up problems with help from you guys on here, and I'm sure that I have seen something about a battery indicator on screen when not using O2active but can't find it. Can someone post a link to the thread if it actually does exist or does the function not exist out of O2active?It's quite possible that I had a "moment" and imagined that I saw this of course - it's an age thing, hopefully!
Cheers. Alan
Why not load up the GPRS monitor program that the device come with and configure that to display Battery status on the screen - after its free, and a damn good utility if you use GPRS to track the cost - Mike
Or download Batti (just search for it - it's free)... I use it, and love it, for various reasons I won't bother to detail here
Thanks for that, I'll do a bit more digging. I don't use GPRS for monitoring (as far as I know) so I'll have a look at batti.
In. Done. What a handy little thing! Thanks again.
There's several, really... I like to classify them graphically as...
A. Applications
B. Today screen/Tray
C. Task bar
D. Top/Bottom overlay
The first group, Applications, I wouldn't even bother with. They tell you what the battery level is, and sometimes more information, but you do need to actually run the application. So there's no quick view of what the battery level is at any time.
The second group is nice if you're on the Today Screen a lot. They typically have nice graphics. However, they'll only be on your Today Screen, and take up space there. Very often the larger "Does everything!" applications that use the Today Screen will have one of these, typically along with indicators for memory and storage space.
The third is a bit nicer already. You can see it on any screen, as long as the task bar is in view. There's just one problem - they take up space on the precious task bar - and there's not a whole lot of space there on a QVGA device when in portrait mode. Some solve this by putting a tiny little bar underneath the clock - so much for getting a readout 'at a glance', though. In addition, any application that hides the task bar, will hide that indicator as well.
The last category, at least for me, is ideal - and Batti belongs in that category. Thes are the battery indicators that are usually just a line of a few pixels (or even 1 pixel, like Batti) high, going across the top/bottom of the screen. They're always visible, and you can easily tell how full your battery is even if it's just a white solid bar (such as what's in MagicButton).
They usually come in two flavors.. a solid bar going from left to right, or individual little bars, so that you can easily count in percentages. One of SPB's products comes with one of these, for example. Which style you prefer is really a matter of personal likings.
What's extra nice about Batti is that you can set it up to change the color of the bar at two percentages (e.g. 33% for 'low' with an orange color and 10% for 'critical with a red color), all user-definable. It can also indicate charging, and has a nice textual read-out of charge, voltage, temperature, etc. if you click on it (optional). The frequency with which it updates can also be setup. Some of the battery indicators poll every second, for example, thereby actually draining the battery a good bit itself more than it needs to. I have mine set up to update every minute, which is more than enough.
The *only* thing I would love to see added to it is alarms for the two percentages - which I've requested from the author, but haven't heard back from him as of yet Some of the other battery indicators may have alarms, so that might be something to keep in mind.

Where can I download Batti from ?????
http://www.google.com/search?q=pocketpc+batti
Battery meter.
I downloaded Batti and I dont think its very good at all !!!. The battery level indicator that comes with Pocket Hack Master is way better. However what I realy Real Real need is the OLD battery level software from WM2003. You know the one with red and green in the settings folder. Unfortunately I deleated it when I hard reset my phone.
Please anyone out there who has the old WM2002/3 still on file. Can you send me a copy of the file I need to make that work again.
Thankyou
Rob
I guess you'd have to state your reasons for liking the one that comes with Pocket Hack Master better
There's three things that are at play, to begin with...
1. Pocket Hack Master isn't free. Of course, if you are looking into the functionality it offers (CPU clock speed tweaking, etc.), then its built-in battery meter is a nice bonus when you do buy it anyway.
2. Pocket Hack Master doesn't run on all devices. Due to the fact that it is an application mostly geared towards CPU clock speed tweaking, it will refuse to run on unsupported processors such as the TI OMAP processor. I believe this doesn't apply to the Blue Angel, but does to e.g. the Wizard.
I have an HTC Wizard.
3. Personal preferences. Everybody will prefer their own style of battery meter, etc. You didn't fully explain why you like Pocket Hack Master's better, and unfortunately I can't fully review it as Pocket Hack Master refuses to work on my device. However, from some screenshots it appears that you can only set colors for battery or A/C (i.e. no change of color based on the charge level), the size appears limited (though you can make it a small 2px bar or a series of 4px blocks), and you can't set the refresh rate. On the other hand, you can fully control its positioning and hide the border. All in all - though again.. I'd have to actually be able to run it to make sure.. I haven't seen an screenshot of the 'gradient' method for example - I'd still have to stick with Batti on features alone.
Hopefully they'll add TI OMAP support soon, as it would be worth getting for that, for sure
For the curious, Batti was updated to version 1.4.
Added: Sound Events
Added: Option for turning off the frame around Batti
Added: Option for blinking on critical level
Added: Battery status on Info page (Charging, On AC, On Battery)
Added: Custom color for charging*
Some bugfixes
* charging is different from being fully charged. Sound events can be defined for charge start and charge end as well.
And I forgot to mention in my main rant that you can change the strings for localization easily - most of the main languages are already available for download
My question about this utilities, is which takes least memory space and battery life?
I hate to install something very usefu which on the downside slows down the device and makes me go crazy with the battery.
Of course anything that continuously monitors the battery performance will take up extra battery life itself, though it's typically negligable. Batti itself can be configured to poll only every N seconds - I have mine set to 60 seconds, but obviously there's no real reason to even set it to this frequency - the battery won't drop that much in a minute
As for memory use, I can't really report on others, and you have to keep in mind that several of the battery monitors are part of a larger whole; and if you want the larger whole anyway, then you typically won't lose any additional memory from enabling the battery monitor functionality. For example, MagicButton has a battery indicator line as well.
Batti takes up roughly 40KB

One of the best
Credits:
Foremost, let us all acknowledge Koushik for his brilliant "Sensors" library upon which most if not all non-HTC apps that use the G-Sensor, Light-Sensor, and Navi-Sensor are built, simply ingenious. Moreover, I would like to recognize No2chem for the NeuLed2 library which is an equally exquisite peace of code that allows access to the Diamond/Pro Leds. Without those two guys, accessing these advance interfaces on the diamond/pro would be inapproachable at best.
Reason: HTC gave these phones lots of sensors, lets give them.."Sense".
......... EXTRA-Sense ...........
* Hopefully an innovaton, though mostly an integration of RANDOM but needful features...
Features:
1. Courtesy Profiles:
- Set Volume Profiles to activate on Face-Down & Face-UP events. Choose from: None, Silent, Normal, and Vibrate. You can also choose to suspend the Phone when its facing down.
2. Notifications-Sense:
- IF there is/are any outstanding notification(s), the device will vibrate whenever you move it - at customizable intervals: Missed Call(s), Voice Mail, and SMS.
3. Stylus-Sense:- When the Stylus is in/out: Will play sound + Blink the Back button's light.
- When the Stylus is out and the device is moved: Device will vibrate faintly + blink the Back button's light to REMIND you that the Stylus has not been placed back in. This goes on UNTIL the Stylus is placed where it should be.
* Uses "in.wav" & "out.wav" files in the \XSense\ Dir; you can use whatever wave files for this. OR, use the UI to select whichever wave files you want!
4. General Settings:
- Polling Interval: From 200 to 3000 Miliseconds. This determines the rate at which the G-Sensor is polled. Lower values give higher response times and fluid operation at the cost of battery life & CPU utilization.
- Flash Navi Lights: Will blink button lights to notify you of Profile changes and Stylus In/Out.
- Vibrate on Events: Will induce very subtle vibrations to notify you of Notifications and Profile changes.
- Suspend when UP-Side-Down: ???
- Light Navi Button When Suspended: Will do just that when the Light Sensor senses Dim or Dark conditions. This is an independent setting that turns ON the Navi button's light at suspend time, and OFF at Resume time (this is Event Driven, so no polling is involved). This feature really helps if, like me, you want to see where the damn thing is in the dark - before you launch it against the floor.
5. Installs to "\Program Files\XSense", and Creates 2 shortcuts:
"Start Menu\Programs\XSense" and "Startup\XSenseSvc".
Program Settings are saved to the Registry at "HKCU\Software\XSense\".
Use of System Resources:
1. Diskspace: 162 KB RAM footprint: 374-535 KB Battery: NOT observed.
2. CPU Usage: %0.29 Average. Spikes for 2 seconds to %2.7 - %8.5.
3. Battery Impact: Neligeable if at all!
* Indicated CPU usage occurs ONLY when there is an EVENT (posture changed, stylus in/out Sounds playing,
etc)
- Vibration: The way I like it is in waves of 200 miliseconds length! I generally hate vibrations, so if you want it at 201 ms. you're welcome to make your own program and exercise your personal taste.
- This prgram Registers Event Handlers for: "G-Sensor", "Incoming Call", "Phone Call in Progress", "Stylus in/out", and Power Manager events. DO NOT move it to Internal Storage, you have been warned.
Requirements:
.NET 3.5 + HTC device with GSensor & Light Sensor.
Compatibility:
Specifically designed for Diamond & Raphael, but will work fine on HD/Rhodium/Topaz/HD2 etc...
Bugs/Limitations:
Knock yourself out...
Release Notes:
- This is the LAST revision/release/app I make; programming too much work
- Download & Install the CAB
- Run the XSense from your Start Menu\Programs, customize to taste, and enjoy!
Change Log:
- Brand New UI: VERY "finger friendly" this should be especially useful if you have a WVGA Device
i.e. HD/Rhodium/Topaz/HD2 etc...
- Revised entire code for existing & potential bugs, and Performance
tweaked to death.
- Removed various functions (auto speakerphone, car-kit options, etc...). Use "Touch InCall Screen Tweak" for these,
its handles Phone/Speaker brilliantly!
- Shortcut added to Startup for automatic launch after reboot.
- Shortcut with a nice icon added to Start Menu (Credit to VetVito).
- General Tab:
- Navi Button will only light up if the device is in a dark place, i.e. You will
always see where your phone is (before you trash it against the wall).
- Stylus Tab:
- UI elements to select & set sounds for Stylus-in/out events.

any screenshots?! Thanks
Super Cool App Thank you Dude now to REPORT
Only The function Suspend when i turn my device Up side down and the Stylus Sound In Out work perfect all other functions not working for me im using the ROM from my signature.
Also in HD Tweak i have option to enable to mute call when face is down but still not working
About the Lights they can`t flash because we don`t have buttons on our Blackstones
The Profiles sometimes work sometimes not work i mean when the face is down sometimes the phone is going to silent but from 10 times only once working ...
So i will use the Suspend Up side down and the sound for now
Thanks

Hey, sorry I just saw your post; This doesn't sound like a problem with the program.
Try Calibrating your G-Sensor, if that doesn't solve it, turn your phone off and remove the battery for 5 seconds then turn it on again... that should fix it
This is a perfect app it works perfectly for me on EnergyROM.
Many thanksss

the default of ~3 second intervals between flashing is a bit slow for my liking. Is there any way to make it flash faster when there are notifications to be checked?
Man I can't stand the gap between flashes. The "did I just see it flash?" thing I deal with every day. And why can't it flash green while charging? Or flash a different color for text, email and missed calls/voicemail? It does green, orange and red, surely this can be assigned by some sort of voodoo or dark arts?
Eric
You can use a program called nueled to adjust the LEDs to some extent, I don't believe you'll be able to adjust the flashing speed, but you can redirect the behaviors to make it a steady light and with some control over the color of the light.
I personally use it to kill off the LED while charging / finished charging, so that I can plug it in and do a crossword or watch a recorded show before going to bed without the light blinding me.
Cool thanks, I'll check it out! Wow your first post. I'm honored.

Just following up on this, I installed the version on the first page of this thread (v1.5)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371391
and it didn't do anything. The scanning function gave a popup error I couldn't make disappear without pressing the Call End button. There was registry removal info in one of the posts in that thread but I also received an error like the poster had. The Remove Programs uninstaller didn't work either.
My Tilt2 is on its way out of my life at some point hopefully soon, but it would still be nice to control the LEDs somehow.
Eric
A developer here on xda named zevele created blinker which will control the led on the tp2. I downloaded it here on xda. I dont know exactly where it is but search the tp2 forums and youll find it.
For those who may search and find this thread, the link to the blinker app is in the HD2 themes and apps sub forum. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=830299
I am a former Samsung S7 user and I really like the alarm clock where I could set individual volumes for each alarm. I could adjust the volume from within the alarm/clock app, and set multiple alarms for the next day, with each alarm having a different volume. Example a loud alarm to wake me up, and a quieter one during the day to remind me of a meeting.
Can I download the Samsung clock onto the op5T without rooting the phone. Also any instructions on how to do it would be most helpful. I found something on APKMirror but not sure which one to download and how to make it work on my phone.
Thank you!
I upgraded to Android Q DP1 yesterday through OTA and noticed the double-tap-to-check-phone feature now always displays the full lockscreen including wallpaper. Same thing for lift-to-check-phone. In Pie, it used to show ambient display first when double tapped. I have the Always On Display disabled. Is this a bug?

Yes, the "Double-tap to check phone" and "Lift to check phone" options are still there, and when enabled those actions still wake the screen, but the wake behaviour has changed, which is what I'm wondering about. When woken, it now shows the full lock screen rather than the ambient display (black background and dark theme) that used to show up in Pie.

It's down to personal preference for sure. I wish they would've made that wake behaviour configurable if it's not a bug.
I wish the same too even in full 10 release they didn't change this behaviour
It's better to wake the ambient display than to wale the whole phone in case you need to check nots.
:good:
Hey all!
I am glad too see somebody else also noticed it. I absolutely adore the clean design and funcionality of Pixel's AOD, but the changed funcionality of double-tap to wake (from waking AOD to waking the whole screen) annoys me. I even rolled back from Q beta to Pie hoping they would not implement this change in stable release. Now in order to see AOD you need to have it on constantly, which actually drains some 1% battery per hour (that actually makes it some 15-20 over a working day's period and is actually quite substantial.), also during the night. I also don't stare at the phone all the time to need AOD all that time - a gentle tap to peek the time, weather and notifications is just enough - I see some of you would agree.
Is there any way we can appeal to Google similar to OnePlus's feedback section?
Hey, has it also become iOS like?
I hate whole iOS lock screen turning on. What a shame
I spent time factory resetting my phone thinking that the missing ambient display settings were a bug, I never thought Google would remove that functionality. The language under the "Lock Screen Settings" sounds similar, but they don't do the same thing since now it just wakes the entire screen. Real bummer that Google keeps removing features.
Yeah, it seem they went almost full iOS on this And it was so good: tap twice - AOD shows, tap twice again on that AOD - the lock screen shows. Why Google, why! At least give us an option to schedule when the AOD can be turned off automatically (like at some hours at night).
And to think I bought the Pixel just a week ago to finally taste the stock Android. It is good, no doubt here (and the phone size and general style is very refreshing from thos behemoths I used from Sammy, OP or Huawei), but OnePlus seems much more thoughtful and practicality-oriented. And what is the more important the pledges from the OnePlus community actually work quite often which I don't expect with Google somehow.
I'm fine with it. Not a big deal.
