a tool using the direct arm dll that fiinix @ XDA wrote in DllImport.
HTC Battery Tool does it with all sorts of info, this one is just simple, to the point.
I did this almost a month ago to date and had it as a live tile. I use it ALL THE TIME so I thought I would pass it along to all the fellow side loaders on here.
enjoy it, use it or whatever
thanks:
fiinix @ XDA
if you already use a battery percentage notification, tell me which one below?
thanks in advance, hope this helps someone as it has helped me.
Code:
edit: added cleaner NoDo_nation version because, who am I kidding anyway.
Very interest, I use this one till now and it work top.
I will tray out your Battery-Tool and report. Thanks.
Edit: Work like it have to work, good making and no conflict with the PhoneRestartTool with the code/dll from fiinix.
Great work on this!
Lovely, that's very nice.
Do you thinkt it'd be possible to add a live tile to that?
I know a lot of people are already sick of having to many of them but I could still use a couple more and one of them I'd like to be something like this
I've been experimenting a LOT with live tiles -- the result of which I am not happy with.
It is a bit of a catch22 because of the way you need to subscribe the live tile. I've short-fused the subscription whereas I can get a live tile update direct from code but the catch22 is the fact that the program has to run first to do it.
So what you end up with is a stale tile all the time. I'm not out of options quite yet but without running on a true background thread or the like, it almost looks like a "stalemate" -- no pun, well, whatever.

You need jaxbot hack enabled and then still hope it will be able to push trough in the background.
Its far from reliable and will probably drain battery fast since there is no way to manage tasks yet, all tasks keep running in the background if you dont close them by pressing the back button (but you also should not kill the battery app ofcourse) which is indeed pretty much impossible, certainly for the average user to manage. You can juts better swipe down the task bar or just open the app
Nice job. Using the NoDo version.

Does this one fix the conflicts with other apps that this one has? I know both use the dll import project which is why I ask. I tried the previous one for a few days but found it caused severe problems with the Weather Channel app and the TouchXperience app. They wouldn't load after checking the battery app. I will give it a run through and see how it works out.

It should not cause problems -- I use the Weather Channel app and also the TouchXperience app and have not noticed any conflicts of any sort. If you discover them, I have the source code open and ready to modify at any time.
Thanks in advance to all the comments and thanks in my first post!
ps. I had someone ask me if I could add a voice that spoke the percentage. I can. If I get enough people interested in the feature, I could probably have it done in an hour. Let me know if this is something that would set this app apart from the others or just unnecessary junk?

At the moment, you would only see rate of percentage decrease because mA values are not available through any means I've researched up to this point. Also, it would have to get thrown on a background thread - which makes the problem two-fold.
on top of the problems, a percentage decrease wouldn't be very accurate for several reasons.
I'll keep looking around however!

So far so good. I am honestly still teaching myself how phone 7 does it's coding being a amateur coder, but only thing I can guess is something in common with the original battery app and those to programs. I can duplicate it all day long with that one. With yours I had it happen one time. I opened the battery app. Then attempted to load either Weather channel or TouchXperience and the latter two apps would load then immediately shut down. I have yet to have it happen again with yours so good work!

This could be cool, but I do like just the quick glance. Something I would like maybe is the ability to toggle an actual image with the percentage, but that's really just for visual sake. As it stands your app does what it's supposed to do and I like that.
Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone knew of a good app for unlocking the tablet while connected to your home's WiFi? To be clear I would still like a lockscreen, but be to have it that when I leave home it goes back to being pin protected. I tried tasker but it can only disable the lockscreen completely, and while I would settle for that, I was wondering if anyone here knew of a solution! Thanks
Easy to do with Tasker. Best money you will spend if you dive into it. You can make your devices do anything you want.

I couldn't figure out how to make it only unlock but leave my lockscreen there (like it doesn't go straight to home screen when I press unlock button) do you know if that's possible ? I looked around rather quickly because if it didn't have it I wanted to be within refund period :S
Check out this link http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-57478334-285/the-most-practical-creative-ways-to-use-nfc-with-your-android-device/ . Came across it on FB and just watching the vid showed some of the possibilities for the NFC chip and I think it will do what your looking for.
Seems interesting.. I think the main problem is that disabling security and and leaving lockscreen is not an option sadly so like, it's all or nothing :/ I could live with that I suppose haha but kinda sucks
Have you seen this app? It does exactly as you want and works great, I've had it, and its great

it doesn't support patterns, the only lock I use. PINs and passwords are too slow to enter every time.
Try "Settings Profile" on the app store. Similar to tablet but much easier to use. I use it to do exactly what you describe.

I'm going to treat myself to some NFC tags to see if that will do it

It's basically a bunch of Tasker tasks already programmed. Taller is more powerful, but harder to learn.

I keep checking Android Police and Droid Life for info, but nothing yet. I see the card description in the settings menu has changed from show/hide, to watch face dependent.
Just got it and the watch is forced to reboot, kind of interesting.

Didn't force reboot mine did you update your watch yet though. I am wondering if it just forces peoples watches to update.

I updated to the newest firmware on the watch yesterday. When I downloaded the Wear update today I noticed the watch reboot and figured it had crashed. Then I saw the note in the Wear app.
Installed it thanks for link.
But anyone can tell me what is the new change is " This update adds a 'Card preview' setting which can be set to "None" or "Watch face sets card preview."
I test it but do not see difference.

ok I figure what it is. And it is the setting I really need after recent OTA. After OTA on change is you can keep the notice card by swap down. It is nice but the problem is if you not aware income notice at first place after screen off the notice will automatically hide. Next time when you turn on screen you will not find any new notice unless you swap up. Or you will get old notice when new is coming.
It make me missing lot of notice. So if you setting as NONE, it will behavior like this, but setting another item, you get old way how notice show.
It is perfect now we can have choice for what we like.
Yep it rebooted mine too, and I was on the newest firmware. Wonder what its upto?
The watchface dependant preview is in preparation for the 2.0 update. The watchface API will allow developers to make a few settings, including how to display the preview cards (size, opacitiy, whether or not at all, etc)

There's no need for a tool, the watch face developers can set these in their watch faces. So Facer for example will either have a global setting or a per-face setting for these things.
Dedicated watch face apks will just set these based on what they want or also allow customization via some sort of interface I guess.
What is the new wear card that looks like a green wifi symbol? There is no text. The only option is open on phone, but does nothing. My phone wifi is turned off. Thanks!

Great app man, it works fine. But i think it should let the user select which app to make use of the function.
Thank you for the feedback
and i'm very happy to hear back..i'm working on it..will bee out soon...!
Will be updating to a new version before October 2nd
this will have features of a pro version but it just gives the feel not the functionality
Please let me know your comments
@MultiPDev V2 will give you the option to select your own app

Good job!! I love the app, the concept is great. I think the idea is better than Samsung's Smart Stay(or something like that) that never worked well enough for me. I'd surely use this app daily when it's finished. I didn't vote on the playstore because it needs some more development.
Here's a major bug I encountered: It sometimes doesn't work until you switch the feature off and on again, and switch between apps.
Also the sensibility is kinda low, i think ot should be higher(or maybe let the user select some kind of levels?).
Anyways, I call this app a good example of great use of a smartphone's sensor.
I have a question, does this app only work on Samsung devices? if not, I think you should make a thread in a general forum so any people can give you feedback, not only s3 owners.
I'm a student developer, so I hope I will submit an app to the store soon.
Cheers!!:good:
Thank you for the valuable feedback....
Its a strange issue..! Will definitely look in to the issue
When you said its not working are telling based on the Message you see on the screen when you open the app..if so that message will be displayed only for the first launch of the app.
right now sensitivity is at the best lowest as possible
you need not move the device slight angle change will also be considered
Good Luck with you app
and this will support all phones running android 4.0 and above

I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you what I meant by "it doesn't work".
Well...sometimes the screen just forgets to turn off, even if phone is on the table.
About the sensibility, I think the app should detect a trembling hand, so it knows you're holding the phone. It's just a suggestion, I don't know how practical this would be.

Yes it is, the screen timeout was actually 15 secons...just for testing. But the screen just refused to turn off while on the selected app. So I had tu turn the app off and on again few times till it worked. I think it's only the first time, after you install the app, I'm not sure. But it happened more tan once. Needs more testing.

It happened to me again. The default timeout was 15 seconds. I just started Word app and kept the phone still. But the screen just refused to turn off(I waited 2 minutes). I solved this by turning the app off and on and switching between timeout times. However, it may be a rom bug (I'm running a cm12 based rom), as I found out it happens even after I turn off the app.
Good luck!!
Hello
Thank you for the info i tried to reproduce but couldnt
please find the screen shot please check if the app is correct "Word app"
since you have the issue even when you turn off the service i think its not related to SmartScreen

Yeah maybe it's my rom's fault. I'll give it a try again when I switch to another one.
Good luck with the app!!
Ooops sure let me know if you come up with any issues..working on optimizing it so may be an update with minor improvements will be out later some time...

Nice to know the camera got those cam speed and iso aditions, I am curious about the starage handling, as I previously read an article here in XDA that files created by any app would be available only for such app, the author saw this as a negative feature, I would like to see how that impacts overall file usage in real life now that android 10 is officially rolling out

Inquiring minds want to know. lol
External touchpads support is broken (both usb and bluetooth) - they don't work/gets recognized as mouse HID as it was on Android 9, currently more like some kind of touch input. Therefore mouse cursor acts strangely when using touchpads - it is way quicker in one plane (e.g. horizontal) than the other (e.g. vertical) which makes it usless.
The update does cripple support for Good Lock which is a huge drawback. You can no longer customize how many rows or columns appear in the quick settings. Many Pie themes are no longer working in 10. On the positive side, battery life has much improved with about 20% more battery at the end of the day. Certain apps such as Instagram will now switch to dark mode if you have it enabled systemwide. For those eagerly waiting, I'd say you're not missing out on much.

Every new version of Android on samsung starts without full support of every goodlock app. It will be the same thing for Android 11. They will update then eventually
One thing for me that kills the A10 update is being unable to Turn Off "Restrict Backgroud Data" on Power Saving Mode
I like to throttle the phone to stop losing battery as quick - Reduce Processor to 70% / AOD Off etc...
With the latest update they have removed the option to do this however when you activate it - It says be default that it is going to be switched on :/
Anybody faced the issue of KLWP not fully working after the update? I can set the wallpaper but the "click to launch app" does not work.

That didn't come with Android 10 though. It's been there. Maybe it came to other devices on 10 but Samsung already had that feature.
