Everything works much better now that my xml is corrected.... even phone signal (weird behaviour it got duplicated).

So sad I didn't check the schema before, but I guess it helped to prevent those stupid errors :D

I still got a freeze (empty row -no separator but full height, and os freezed) with b249 while loading my (well-formed ;)) xml.

After soft-reset, it was fine. Installed b250 and everything's fine so far.

edit: but date still has that 5pix difference into 2 views ! Corrected manually for now.

hi there, I'd like to know if there is a place where one can set how the screen is rotated when I hit the rotate screen button in the taskmanager menu?

On my touch, it used to rotate it "right handed landscape", but since yesterday, probably after I've installed build 248, it started rotating it "left handed landscape".

I quickly scanned through the xml or other config files but I didn't see anything obvious.

The weirder thing also is that on my wife's touch, it has always rotated "left handed" even though she has build 243 installed.

So I'm a bit puzzled by the seemingly randomness of the landscape orientation.

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\BatteryStatus

RotateRightHand	DWORD	0 = LeftHand, 1 = RightHand

from here http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_BatteryStatus_XDA_Neo_WM5_ext_iM_cs.htm
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] HKXDragon:
you could also use the control-panel to rotate right-handed once. After this action the system writes a registry-value which is registered by BS. You should reenable the taskmanager after this action.

Why do I get that ? XML attached..

Invalid per cvc-complex-type.1.3: undeclared attribute {None}:itemselect

Invalid per cvc-attribute.1.2: attribute type check failed for {None}:absolute: 3 not in enumeration [0, 1, 2]
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
Hello piya_m. This problem has been reported by RedUser since 2 weeks? and is in work, but had not enough time to do any tests yet.. It's not only see if it works.. it's tracing the code and check each instruction, which takes a lot of time..

hm.. could you give me a step to step how to reproduce?

itemselect (according to manual) is allowed for View (not for item).

There may be such things like tabstop="0" in future.

enumeration for absolute corrected. Should pass the validation now.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] lastnikita:
Oki ! You should also allow correct this:

added: itemselect="1" for Item-tag

That what made me think it was supposed to go into item tags (it also sounds more logical to me)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] piya_m:
Sorry for known issue :)

How about this ?

Can't use subindex with clock settings (CtlPnl index="16")

e.g. ontap="CtlPnl" index="16" subindex="2" won't go to tab 2

But with memory settings (CtlPnl index="4") works fine every subindex :)

build 0251 - 11/02/2007

:

- fixed: Update of date-class

- changed: reworked softreset-png with Gimp

no problem. I've updated with build 0251 and the fixed date-class. I think it's ok, so let you testing hehe

Actually you can't select the second tab of clock-panel. I don't know why, but it doesn't work even if manually using commandline. Try calling ctlpnl by commandline for this tab.. it will not work.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] RedUser:
For some reason in Windows it is made so, that at "CtlPnl" index = "16" always opens last used tab. Subindex it is not taken into account.

Question

The CPUScaler seems to work properly if I leave my Touch alone for a few seconds. It clocks down fine. But if I lock the screen of the device, the CPU speed seems to be stuck at the overclocked speed that I set. At least I cannot see the CPU speed indicator throttling down.

Is this a bug, or just that I cannot see the speed going down while it actually has gone down???

Does this instruction <Item class="clock_alarm" ontap="CtlPnl" index="16" subindex="2">

open the clock and the alarms when you tap??? It say because I it have position like that and when I tap in the clock or in the icon of the alarm it does not do anything, and I am thinking about remembering that earlier if the clock was opened to me and you alarm her.

Thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
ok. just looked into your xml.

absolute="3" works.. just tried it. set absolute="3" to both date-items.

maybe some explanation for better understanding how absolute works.

you've specified absolute="1"

- that is according to the manual --> the image is placed absolute by left-attribute and label is placed relative to previous image. If there's no image, then the last relative-value is used (because label is placed relative)

- in your case you have in both views set the previous item with fixed left-value, but class="phone_signal" has different width than class="temperature" --> i guess 5px ;)

Maybe providing 3 different absolute-modes is to difficult to understand, but gives you powerful ways to place.

If you don't fully understand how absolute works, then i guess the best ist to use absolute="3" for the complete window. With this mode you can't make it wrong hehe
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
it's almost for sure that a previous item overlaps with the item (you've specified ontap).

--> BS is doing exactly what you've specified.. it executes ontap of the overlapping item, because the left-order of items..

Set a fixed width-attribute for the previous-item and ensure it is not overlapping the next item.. btw. relative positioning does not produce such problems..

If you're placing absolute, then you should set a width-attribute..

Hi

I have been playing with batterystatus for a little while now and have just loaded the newest build 252 on.

I have a dopod 838pro and have noticed that the taskbar indicator is not appearing

in the documentation it says

"The TaskBar-Indicator can be activated (and deactivated) by means of the contextmenu. The menu for TaskBar is only available if an omap-cpu can be detected or "CpuSpeed" in General-Tab is checked!"

I have the CpuSpeed being display however there is no taskbar indicator. Any clues?

There's one issue, I was talking about it earlier. It's about a highliting color. In BS it's always gray, no matter what you do in HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Color.

The strange thing is, it was good up to build 0246, all later ones have gray highliting... :(
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
i've updated the manual. Open context-menu and look..

looking great :D

I'll update the first page..

btw. there is a "Reload theme" by context-menu feature, but not well tested. i need testers hehe

So for any testers.. if you want to test the reload-feature, send me a pm with your email and i'll send you the build..

A reload can also be invoked by window message or setting of registry-value..

oh, okay. it's intended. i can make it customizeable by xml if using a white-transparent or system-default-background.

I've instaled on my HTC Touch the batterystatus 1.04.203 beta4

I've downloaded the theme: BSClockTheme! I patch the theme file on the advanced settings of Batterystatus but on today screen it still remains the original clock and background of HTC Touch with the BSClockTheme on the half bottom of the screen! I went to "today definitions" of my HTC and unselect the item "HTC HOME"! The new theme is now on "full screen" but it still remains with the default htc gray background picture! How can I do to remove this background and use that from the BSClockTheme?

Thanks for your understanding! I hope you can help me...

Lock after auto time out

Hello to the forum,

I use the xda-orbit with BatteryStatus build 248 and I like it very much.:)

In the last time I have the following problem: After an automatic switch off (time out after 2 mins not used) I could not start again with ON key. The display flashes very short but stays completely black. I can only restart by soft reset.:confused:

As I checked this happens only if I set the keylock at startup in BatteryStatus.

What did I wrong? I would like to set the keylock after startup.

Many thanks for advice.

Hello

Is the 'On Tap' function working?

By default when I tap the mobile operator text, Comms Manager opens. According to the instructions at http://www.chi-tai.info/cs_BatteryStatus_XDA_Neo_WM5_t_iM_cs.htm, I should be able to type in the path to an executable. I have done this on many occasions, but Comms always opens, when I go back into settings it is blank again.

Any ideas?

Hello Ikarus,

i want to say thank you for this really good programm.

But waht about the homezone? Any news?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
Thanks again to all for help testing :)

Hello NewSPV, yes this is a bug. It is implemented but buffer-check was too strict. try pre11.

oh, okay hehe. now the menu is disabled so SIP is selectable.

try pre11.

hm... yes homezone is going on. What's currently more important is the next release 0.02.500. I'm not sure if the current problem with homezone can be solved.

hm... i must think about this...

--> pre11

If you have similar problems like sebi112 with gprs or the phone, please let me know !!! This is important !!!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] NewSPV:
Great ikarus

Just tried pre 11, everything now seems to be doing as it should do. Now when I tap the mobile operator up comes the phone dialer.

The only thing that I can question is the call timer. I have not made any calls over the past 24hrs so I would have thought that the 'Calltimes Today' would read 00:00:00. However, it shows exactly the same as the 'Calltimes Month'.

Apart from that everything is working as expected, good job.

Thanks
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
that's fine :)

I gues you have checked/marked "Automatic reset of times". Did you?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] NewSPV:
Hi again

Just double checked, sorry I did not check that option.

Now everything appears to be working just as you wanted. Guess it may now be time for release.

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] dma147:
Hi Ikarus...

I've a questing regarding the display of the used battery capacity (mW and mA)...:

Connected to the AC-adapter, display-brightness at the lowest level and cpu at 195Mhz:

After a soft reset it is at about +460mW/+110mA.

After some little time without doing anything with the device, the amount of mW/mA slowly decreases to about +200mW/+48mA.

When then overclocking to 247MHz, switching display-brightness to the highest level and starting playing for example Virtual Pool to stress the device a bit, the capacity climbs up to about +1500mW and when stopping all of the above (overclocking, display brightness and virtual pool), then it decreases again to about +330mW. But there it stands then. It will never go down to +200mW.

I already had some more extreme values. For example a high level of about 3500mW and then after stressing a low level of about 1500mW where it stands then.

By the way the amount of this used battery capacity changes all the time. It doesn't stand still at one value when doing nothing with the device...

How could this be explained? Why doesn't it decreases again to the lowest level right after the soft reset?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
For those don't know this: A leading plus (means +350mW) indicates charging (i guess it is the power which comes out of ac-adapter to charge battery and feed the device).

Without a leading plus your battery is discharging.

These values aren't the integrated amount of power over a discrete timeslot, that is not mAh but mA (you should consider the difference between two values as the derivative over time t).

These values are given from the battery-driver and shows the current use.

It is hard to explain, because i don't know how you use your device.

Is the application (virtual pool) really terminated or is it moved to background and still doing something? You know, ppc's send all applications to the background as standard-behaviour. They are still running then.

How many tasks are there running? Which applications do you use and how many threads are there? Do you use desktop-styling apps like Wizbar? Did you tried using a taskmanager to monitor all the threads and tasks? Do you use gprs as always on, maybe use direct push? There are many tasks of the operating system running periodically in background. Furthermore you don't see what the phone-modul and all the underlying drivers are actually doing in the background.

You can completely deactivate your phone-module by wireless-manager and do a softreset again. You should see a different behaviour...

The display-brightness is one of the most (if not even the most) power-using part of your device... Have you tried using the display as a flashlight? I'm not kidding, you can do it ;)

You can see, there are too many things to consider and dependences so it's impossible to give you a good answer.

If you are well interested in this then i can recommend the article "Power to the PocketPC".

Btw. the power-drain can go down to 4mA/5mA or less in suspend-mode.

greets,

ikarus
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Matterhorn:
I think the device will charge very quickly with a + value, but then when it gets over a certain level say 80% charged, it slows down. The last 5% slows way down on the charge rate. I think this is normal to give the battery a long life.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] dma147:
Many thanks for your answer and for the link which explains many facts around the battery life of smartphones and pocket pcs.

Indeed I was using wisbar advanced (not the desktop) which I've now uninstalled again. :roll:

I've cleaned some other stuff and now I've decreased the used power to about 70mA while the backlight is still on. So the stanby time should now be at about (1200mAh / 70mA =) 17 hours when not suspending.

But there's still something unclear: Why isn't the used power always the same value when the device only lays on my table and nobody does anything with it?

It always dithers between for example 60mA and 100mA while it does nothing (no running programs, no tabbing on the touchscreen, no syncing, no bluetooth... nothing except the telefon-function).

(Sorry for my bad english, I'm not a native english speaker)[/list]
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] niall0s:
i always have a + before the power usage value even when the device is not charging, is this normal operation of the plugin?

Also i think the power value could be moved 1 or 2 pixels to the left as it is slightly off on my screen :(
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Matterhorn:
I think like any computer, when it looks like it is just resting, it is always doing little routines and functions in the background uninitiated by us.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
I guess Matterhorn is right.

e.g. if your phone send signals over the air, that needs power (similar to citizen band radio), but that's the battery-drain of every phone. You wouldn't believe how much a driver for your phone and the phone-hardware itself have to do periodically.

If your phone stays between two (that is more than one) cell-stations with similar signal-strength, then your phone is switching more often between stations and that needs periodically power (mW) to connect to.

Also if your best station at the moment is far away, then that needs more power to transmit the rarely state information (for the network know how and if it's possible to contact you). The far the station is the more power (mW) the phone needs to establish a reliable communication.

There are more things about this topic but a regular user don't have to care about all these things, because he doesn't recognize it.

b. regards,

ikarus
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] ikarus:
what do you mean with "without charging"? Do you mean the ac-cable is not connected?

If your ac-cable is connected and the leading plus is shown then -->already explained... (feed the device means power the device)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Matterhorn:
Maybe you should realign your screen with the screen utility and see if that helps. As for the + without the charge cable, haven't heard or seen that before.

[EDITED 16nov.] VERY USEFULL tool for theme-makers:

It only works under notepad at the moment. It *should* work with any windows computer, any language, please report if it doesn't.

The best way to use it is to create a shortcut into your start menu, right-click it, select properties and then assign a hotkey (I assigned ctrl-alt-L)

Now, while your XML is opened in notepad, simply hit AltGr+L and your xml will be saved, copied over to your pocket pc and BS theme will reload automatically !

You're welcome :)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] lastnikita:
Ooops, I forgot something :D

If you already downloaded, please re-download.

Unzip, then create a shortcut to BS Reloader.exe in your start menu (on desktop side of course....)

I will make it automatically refresh BS theme as soon as I have a way to do it... [edit: done]

And errrr.... I'd be glad if someone provides me with a way to launch Network Cards applet from Control panel :)

Edit: made it one file.... more convenient !
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] lastnikita:

Well, I understood correctly, the problem was I trusted the following conversation ;)
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] lastnikita:
I'm still having some freezes while changing today items order.

Dunno which one is faulty there.... Once reseted, the order is the new one.

I also got some problems with display (with b250), ie the right-most digit (minute) was partially hidden with a black box. I'll post screenshot next time it happens.

Oh, and tap'n hold to invoke context menu doesn't work sometimes. I think it happens when itemselect="1" is set. Instead of showing context menu, it got kind of "melted" while switching views. Cannot reproduce it for now anyway :p

:confused:
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] LordDeath:
in which file are the current data and calltimes saved?
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] utak3r:
It's in the \My Documents\Calltimes folder.
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] LordDeath:
no, that is the xml file.

if i restore a backup with spbbackup and do not touch the my documents folder, the times are set back to the older values.

so it seems, that these xml files are only a copy of these values, but not that, which is used by batterystatus for the plugin directly.
