I believe the graph scale of voltage in this app should be considered in a better way. The range of voltage is only needed to be plotted between the recorded max and min values.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
This will be in the new version. Thanks :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
I am planning to release the new version tomorrow. I'll remove languages with missing translations and add them again once I get them.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Battosai94:
I join some fixes to French tanslation, sorry for the delay I don't came to the topic for a while.

Value "battery saver" on the main screen should be "éco. batterie" ;)

Thanks for your work ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
The all new version 4.5 is out now. Thanks to everyone who sent me translations.

P.S.: as for the French translation I combined the two new ones. Please let me know if everything is alright.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] kirk999:
thanks finally for hard days working on new version :)

superb work, Martin!!!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wpxbox:
Testing it out. Installation was not any issue. Loving the options you have give. Video will be up by tomorrow morning so I can show all the up and down graphs

---------- Post added at 08:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 PM ----------

How does the app get to know about new version i.e. how is it implemented?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
Thanks

I am checking and parsing an RSS feed (for now - maybe I'll set up a web service for that in the future).
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Snake.:
Just installed, I hope the graph will work
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wpxbox:
Change my Mind, Here is the video review and App review on wpxbox.

Thanks to your hardwork updates and all was damn fast this time. If you like the video review, do include that in your main post for others to see in action.

Thanks again for this app.!!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
Thanks :) It's tap and hold on the graph for the little tooltip to show up ;) and processes can't be killed neither inside or outside the app :) it's just there for those who are interested in that.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Snake.:
I don´t know what you changed between versions 3.0 and 4.X, but since 4.X, the app doesn´t work, the live tile doesn´t update (however the BG service is running fine), it only updates the tile when I open the app, and graph doesn´t work.

So same problem persists.

Can you provide the old 3.X version just to test?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wpxbox:
Wow you actually keep holding it and move you finger over graph to see the details. This app should get into WP Market Place. Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
Yes, I wish that would be possible :)

I don't know why it's still not working for you (I have the same phone after all). Check your PMs.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] BigwaveMx:
absolutely wonderful!!!, i love the update. Thank you!!!

4.5.1.0 is out - adds Spanish again and translations for the toggle buttons for all supported languages (some were missing)

Press check for updates in the menu to see how it works :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Budniu:
Good job. ;)

I see, so my movie is not needed anymore. :( Anyway.

Update info working good.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] poloche:
I am disappointed... I'm not in Donators page :) lol
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] kirk999:
thanks Martin for not ignoring my request with repairing toggles :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
Your video is still welcome :) If you make one I'll add it to the main post.

Oh, I'm sorry, I was sure I added everyone!!! Your name will be in the next version.

You're welcome. Thanks for letting me know.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Dinchy87:
really good app now :) thanks for the improvements!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
Sorry, the last update (4.5.1) brought up a minor issue with the settings page. Fixed in 4.5.2 (download from the first post).

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] jimski:
Well done. Coffee on its way to you. :D
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
As I am getting some error reports, please read the first post:

If you upgrade to version 4.x from a version 3.x please make sure to uninstall the old one first.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] f15hh3ad:
Here is Korean translation for 4.5.x

Thanx
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
I've released a new version: 4.5.3.0

New features and changes:

added Dutch and Korean

changed update notification

added download update button (download the updated version directly on the phone if your ROM supports it)

fixed wrong notification in settings

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] kirk999:
You cant sleep without new version :D

Thanks anyway!!!!!! :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] poloche:
Thankx ;)

But have you need new translation ??
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] thekiller99:
I love how people like you who give out their hard work for free and asking donations instead of other people who sell their work for a high price and if they don't they won't be allowed to use it. A really big thumbs up to kind hearted people like you guys KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK:D
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
You can't swipe on the graph as it is touch sensitive itself, i.e. pinch to zoom and swiping along the time axis.

You can swipe to the report on top and on the bottom.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] nok_fusion:
man you are the best :)

i will donate couple bucks when i can,keep that works !
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Localhorst86:

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ReMyDiamond:
Hi singularity0821, thanks for your great job !!

This night, I have charged my HD7 and this morning when I woke up I noticed that the percentage of the battery was 61%, sometimes more...I switched off the phone, removed the battery and restarted the phone and then everything was ok.

I don't know if the problem comes from your app or from my rom.

Thanks again for you job !!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
I don't see a reason how the app could do that. Did you check the number in the battery saver too?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] poloche:
Works fine with my Omnia 7 :)

Thanks a lot !!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] fiinix:
There should not be any problem running this (DllImport project) on any type of device.

Not sure what makes it crash(?) :/
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
Maybe it was because I didn't include all needed DLLs in the first version. Could anyone with an HTC device please try it (version 2) again and give feedback?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] sensboston:
Not working on HTC Surround, crashed after run (99% unhandled exception)

P.S. Check your PM pls.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] derausgewanderte:

[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ReMyDiamond:
Yes :D now it's working fine!!!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
The next version that I'm working on right now will start faster (removed splash screen), I'll add a few more icons (for every 10% step) and the option to log the battery status and time to display the data on a graph.

I'd like to add much more, but the options are a little limited here.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] kirk999:
good luck. we all waiting for your brilliant work
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Budniu:
Good job :D Work perfectly on HTC 7 Pro with Oficial Mango and Chevron unlock.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] renatofontes:

I'm gonna download this as soon as I get home. =)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] faboytier:
thank you very much
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Ddriver:
Top work, thanks a lot. :)

Is it possible to make a german lang version? Would be great. ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
Hehe I have no excuse not to do that, right? :) Sure, I'll add it.

If anyone else wants it localized to a language besides German please send me a PM and I'll send you the strings that need to be translated for the next version.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Dinchy87:
i have found yesterday a little bug in the app :( look at the picture, the graph show in the middle something wrong...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
Could you please tell me more details? Did this only happen once, or all the time?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
New version: 4.5.4:

fixes bug in Dutch translation that made the app crash -- translators, please be careful not to add new lines at the end of a translation string!

updated Telerik controls - graph scrolls properly now when in landscape mode
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] ReMyDiamond:
Thanks, I will think about the rom.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] DJSave:
Now I understand app support :D thats just great! so many updates, nice! well done :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] anpietroluongo:
thank u it works perfectly, but why is not on marketplace?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
Check the FAQ in the app ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] mirolg:
your versions change faster than Firefox

BUT I love this app ! thank youuuuuuuu
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] anpietroluongo:
yes, I read and there is no problem :) thanks again.. great job!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Dinchy87:
this happened when i plug my phone in to charge. it was at 7-8%... the i noticed later when it was at maybe 70% that it was not written in the graph, that period of the first hour of charging. i will uninstall the app and install it again to test it once more. maybe it id device related...
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] MIO1:
Greetings to all users of this wonderful application ....

but still there is a question for the author, we have four same ROM (NextGen), formerly Deepshining, localization and CZ version 4.0 we absolutely do not work charts, even in new versions or report on "time on the battery" "Charging" there same as 00:00:00:00.

We tried tricks to recharge to 100%, remove the battery, reset, switch-off function ... etc.

Nothing helped .... the latest version, where the chart shows the location of the CZ is 3.4.2.

The devices are identical to the HTC HD7.

Sorry my English ... thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
This was a strange bug that occurred with some languages/region settings. I was working on it during the last days and it is fixed in version 4.5.5.0 which is available now. Thanks to Snake. and Treach81 for pointing me in the right direction and for testing the fix!

For those interested what happened: I save the history to a file using a binary writer, which doesn't seem to work if there are certain characters in the strings I write. What fixes it are the following lines:

CultureInfo ci = new CultureInfo("en-US");
Date.ToString(ci);

I write the date in US format so that there are no characters in it that cause issues. As a bonus, it will now also continue to work if you change the regional settings. :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] kirk999:
thanks for fixing, Martin!!!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Snake.:
As Martin explained, that is history now, the app works great.

to OP: Thank you again for your help.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] snifirst:
Thanks a lot for your app again ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Ttblondey:
Wow almost everyday there is an update version.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
Sorry about that ^^
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] kirk999:
Martin, please keep doing the good things that you are doing now

Every new version become better then previous one

And your research very important for everyone
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] MIO1:
thank you very mutch singularity0821 :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] mirolg:
thank you very much for this great app, martin! but with the latest 4.5.5 i get a background service error, tested on three different devices......

cheers, miroslav
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
I just realized that the issue is probably caused because I now write the date in US format, and you probably have it in German. Clearing the history should make it work again.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] geekaren:
Ditto! This is a great app.Thanks singularity0821 for creating and sharing it.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
Sorry guys, another day, another update (I'll try to stop^^): 4.5.5.1 fixes that issue. The history will now be reset if it can't be read.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] nichitandrei:
Hello singularity0821, I sent you a few days ago the Romanian translation for this app and you updated the app without it, is there someting wrong or... Anyway you did a good job here:)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
Romanian is not officially supported in Mango, so I plan to create a separate version that uses the alternative languages. But I don't know yet when I have time to work on that. I'll keep you posted if there is any progress, and it will come.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] nichitandrei:
Ok man, I understand that. I'm still young I have time to wait:)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] BZroid:
v 4.5.5.1 . Work great thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] wpxbox:
Have this idea if its applicable.

Backing up user battery graph to skydrive. So when uninstalls and re installs he does not looses his history.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
Sounds good. It's on the list for future features :) Thanks
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Win_XP:
Very useful app, I already support it with a simple review on my site:

http://pockethacks.com/battery-status-app-for-windows-phone-7/

Keep up the good work :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] boril:
No more problems with graph logging since 4.5.1.

BIG THANKS FOR DEVELOPMENT AND SUPPORT OF THIS GREAT APP.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] mikedj84:
thank you for the great work!!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Leapo:
Hope you don't mind. I unzipped your XAP to see if I could make a custom live-tile theme, and happened across a couple of very (very) minor issues.

1. PNGs are carrying excess metadata, bloating their filesize.

2. Battery live-tile icons seemed...fuzzy (like they had been re-sized).

So...I dove into Photoshop for a bit and fixed it :D

"OptimizedFiles.zip" contains all the PNGs I edited. They're all much smaller than the originals (no loss of quality), and the live-tile icons are nice and pixel-sharp.

"BatteryStatus4.5.5.1_Optimized.xap" is your app with the modified PNGs already inserted. File size is down from 1.59 MB to 1.44 MB.

I also accomplished my original goal of making a custom theme. "BatteryStatus4.5.5.1_LeapoTheme.xap" is the same as above, optimized, but with a custom theme (I replaced "colorful" with my own subtle variation on "default").
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] elfacki20:
i'll try it
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] DJSave:
Thanks man, realy nice work :)

Like a colored tile according to status

nice :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] thekiller99:
When i try to update this app (using phone) it goes to a download page but it says my phone can't download this unsupported format. Is there a fix for this?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] kirk999:
downloading and installing xap files from browser available only in some custom roms like Nextgen, DFT, ect.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
Thanks, I'll update the app and add your theme to the next version if that's okay.

If anyone wants me to add more icons send them to me and they will be in the next version. (should come soon, and it has a few new features :))
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] prjkthack:
Great app. Very useful.

My only gripe is that the settings page is misaligned while every other page on the app aligns and conforms perfect to standard Metro UI guidelines. Its the little things that matter.

Otherwise, awesome application!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Leapo:
Of course it's ok :D
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
I noticed that yesterday and it is fixed in the new version (soon) :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
I've released version 4.6! New features are the following:

added phone info page

added new iconset

fixed a little issue with the graph

app now detects charging status change while it is running

added Norwegian, Greek

I didn't ask for translations this time because it was important to fix the graph issue as fast as possible. So now there are a few new things that are not translated yet.

I'll add the translations as I get them.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] mwf:
Danish translation

I've attached the danish translation
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] poloche:
Thankx man

Take the fr-FR translation in attached :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
Thanks guys, sorry for not contacting you with the translation as usual. I was really busy and just wanted to fix the graph bug.

Thanks for your help as always :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Budniu:
Polish 4.6 in attachment. I have one question:

What is the difference between icons options:

- default,

and

- default icon with colored tile

In my device is the same effect.

??? THX
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
Thanks! The colored once have a background color that indicates the status if the phone is not charging (i.e. red for low, yellow for around 50% and green for full). It's by a user on the previous page.

4.6.0.1 adds Czech, Danish, French and Russion. I'll add Polish tomorrow.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] kirk999:
Thanks for so rapid implementing my and other translations in new version :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Budniu:
Ok THX Martin.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] hack91:
take my it-IT updated :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] geekaren:
The new phone info page (added in 4.6.0.0) is fantastic! I'd previously a separate shortcut tile to enable me to quickly toggle data/wifi, but now I no longer need it.

Excellent work, Martin! Many thanks for this wonderful app.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] f15hh3ad:
Here is Korean translation for 4.6.0.

Thanx :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Leapo:
4.6.0.1 wont side-load for some reason, the XAP deployer is throwing the following error message:

I have no trouble deploying any other XAP (including older versions of Battery Status). What gives? :confused:
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] dwbmb:
I'd like to see this app in Marketplace some day :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
Strange, I'll release 4.6.0.2 soon anyway :)

Me too, as soon as it's possible it will be there.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] anpietroluongo:
@singularity0821

would be nice a feature to lock the screen from the tile as phone setting :cool:

Beautiful colors icon :D but you could implement to choose the color of individual system ones?
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
The colored background is there to indicate the battery charge, for the other it uses your accent color.

What do you mean with "lock the screen from the tile as phone setting"?

Sorry for the delay, I had a busy day. The new version with new languages and 3 new icon sets will come tomorrow!
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] anpietroluongo:
I had not noticed.. o yeah it's very cool now. I like this, it 'very intelligent red for low, yellow for around 50% and green for full :cool: ;)

I was wondering if you could set an option to lock the screen from the program without pressing the lock button.

Sorry for my bad English :rolleyes:
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] bbezja1:
you have easily reachable physical button for something, but you want an option inside an app for the same thing. :confused::eek::confused:

i was gonna suggest the bacground color changing right now but i see you already did it. i think its a great idea! though is it green only on 100%? (should) could be at 90-100%.... and even more colors for different ranges would be... amazing IMHO. really brings those live tiles to life as much as possible :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
this :)

New version is out:

4.6.1.0

updates for several languages

added 3 more icon sets by user elkron
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Foxnov1990:
Just wanted to reply that I'm using the Battery status for a long time now but "Default with colored status 2" is deffo the best one yet.

About the app.. couldn't have done a better job. I really love it, so thank you!

(using a custom rom with a soft green background, so whole tile changing color was a bit rough :))
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] Leapo:
Sorry, but the most recent versions of your XAP still refuse to deploy. I can deploy any other XAP without a problem, so it's something to do with yours in particular.

This is the only real information I can find on the error that the XAP deployer throws: http://dan.clarke.name/2011/07/deployment-failed-the-parameter-is-incorrect/

Edit: Nevermind... now no XAPs will deploy to my phone (I always get the same error, that the deployment failed because "the parameter is incorrect") Help? :(

Edit2: Got it figured out, all is right with the world again :p
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
Good to know :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] singularity0821:
There is a new version (4.6.1.1) with a new icon set, and a few language updates.

Also I added a great desktop application by sensboston that allows you to view your battery data on your PC. It also allows you to save the history file to your PC, which brings me to the next point:

Something great will be coming soon for battery status and it would be of great help if you could upload your battery data to this shared Skydrive folder. More details about that soon. :)
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] sensboston:
Small comment to singularity0821 message: to obtain battery history from device, using HistoryViewer, you should have IsolatedStorageExplorerTool (ISETool.exe) installed on [Program Files]\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Tools\IsolatedStorageExplorerTool
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] BigwaveMx:
Martin, definetly love the las update. Love the default theme wit colored status 2. Please check your PM.
[Windows Phone 7 Apps and Games] emjlr3:
if you don't mind me asking

what good is an in-app update feature, if the file it attempts to download isn't supported by WP7?

I am missing something?

thanks!
