usage tool

Hello,
I was wondering if anyone knew what this usage tool on the picture was:
its where the GPRS [G] Icon is in the middle of the screen.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",

"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
It looks like it records how much data you use. I'd find it very useful.

Likewise, this would be useful for me too. Shame it isn't included in the Battery Status counters.

but not hits.

From the same screenshot, can anyone tell me what the gradient-coloured battery bars are at the top of the display?
I use batti which looks similar but is one colour only - this looks a bit nicer...anyone know what it is?
Cheers,

Here is the Battery meter that is on top. Not sure what the other meter below it references...would like to find out.
Unzip and put this exe in the startup folder.

That's the one
Thanks man
Smiffy.

it's not meant to. Your phone has gone to sleep, so the screen has switched off.
You can override this, but you'll haemorrhage battery power unless you leave your phone connected to the mains.

If you always charge your phone at night anyway then you can go to menu > settings > applications > development and tick the box to stay awake while charging.

The other option is to use an app that lets you set the screen time out to never. I use this and the night clock while not charging, yes it uses the battery up but I am not convinced about leaving it on change every night all night.
100% charge
after 6.5 hours
68% charge while in airplane mode and the night clock on
82% of that was Android and the other 18% was the screen.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the great tip. As a Noob to Android and to the Desire (as of last Thursday), the tips are fantastic.
I also have to say that I like this idea of a night clock because it was 1 feature from my Treo Pro that I liked. I like to be able to check the time on the Desire without having to wake it up all the time.
BTW, I have to say that after having my Desire for 3 days now, I have to say that I don't miss my Treo Pro or WinMo. I am totally in love with the Desire and Froyo 2.2 (which was shipped with my Desire).
Once again thanks for all the great tips.

Temperature monitering app? What do you all like/use

Hay every one
Just like the title says
Don't tell me to search. I know how to and I wanted to hear what you guys like for the battery, CPU and any other sensors
Thanks

Quick System Info Pro.
Has incorporated a lot of features including ones from Spare parts. I no longer need three different monitoring apps to do what this one now does.
It's the free version.

TempMonitor. Put's the temp up in the toolbar for battery temp. Mini info for the rest. Don't feel like buying it though.

Android system info has a widget for batter and memory, but I use Battery Life from Curvefish. Batt status, temp, volts. Good widget.

camarojones Thanks I like that app.

that's the program i use too. especially for the task killer. along with batteryminder. which is quite possibly my favorite battery percentage and temp program for the notifications and the status bar icon it has. dont care much for quick system info's status bar notifications so i use batteryminder instead.

"weather & toggle widgets" with h7c skin for clock and weather.
Looks exactly like the Sense clock.

battery life by curvefish is the bomb!

Battery minder is cool. But i am totally loving Battery life
Thanks guys this is my first android phone and I just keep finding more cool **** seems like every day, but at the same time it's ez to get lost in all the apps.

I use batterytime. Battery percent, temperature, voltage in pull down notification drawer. Also a widget for the battery.

[FIX] {80% working} how to decrease lock screen walk up lag ~

hi ! guys today i will share trick to decrease lock screen lag to 80% which is 8 out of 10 tries (not bad ) on default lock screen it is around 40% ~~~
ALL tools are free

1) download GO Locker from market
2) then download GO Locker Simple RightTheme from market or any locker theme which is less then 600 KB
3) that's it ! now you will get less lock screen lags :victory:
thing to remember ;-
-THIS NOT 100% fix
- don't not change lock screen wallpaper (by changing lock screen wallpaper you will get around 60%)

Thank you, I'll try it now, I had this problem before and the new launcher from sgs III solved it

What a great development. Appreciate your hard work mate. Truly a difficult work.

Nice, will test this out!

Does it work for anyone?

Wake up lag is the exynos chip waiting for the modem to wake up. Changing your lockscreen will not help dude, unless it prevents your phone from going to sleep, which will decimate your battery life.

It doesn't seem to matter how many times people repeat this over and over. Myself included.
I have given up repeating myself and explaining to people that it's the exynos blah blah it can't be fixed without wakeblah blah. Its a loosing battle. Just let them believe whatever they want to beleive, if it seems to make them happy.

Visual Reception

So I had full bars prior to rooting. No matter what ROM or where I am, I only have 1-2 bars. Sometimes 3 depending on where I am.
I checked the store model and it's full bars. Store's is running LG2. I just updated mine to the second which was LF9 from LEN thinking it would fix something. Took it to LG2 and same.
Anyone else experiencing this? Not really an issue, just a visual comfort.

Bars don't really mean anything. Run speedtest and see if they have changed. You can't always just go by how many bars you have.

Calls cut in and out constantly. It was never like that before. That's what I am going on. I call the bars Visual Comfort, since it makes you feel warm inside.
The other thing, I work at a store. The store model is solid and full. Mines 1 corner bar. Big difference. I only started to question it after my calls became unstable.

Huge difference.
Mine:

It was in the E4GT theme and apps section.
It's just the transparent widget file. I can try to find it for you in a bit.
I think it was this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1698912

If it's not I can pull it from my phone and upload it later today.
