Its may a hardwere issue like: damaged battery :(

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack099:
Its also reading the wrong battery status. So one minute its saying 100% then the next it powers down and reads 1%
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidtweaker1:
Give this a shot

wipe the device completely from recovery(Dalvik cache, cache partition, data, data internal SD,format system)

reset the battery stats

Flash AOKP and check whether there is any difference
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack099:
Okay thank you, how do I reset the battery status?

Any chance that you have a link to AOKP? I've tried to find it before but all the links are dead.

Thanks

[Sprint LG G2] official.xian:
So I've run into this problem on CWM and TWRP, and honestly I haven't looked in the settings or anything, I'm just seeing if anyone else has this problem. When I make a backup, the date is way off. 2 days ago my CWM backups were dated for January 1st 1970, which is older than my mom lol, and my TWRP backup was dated for December 20, 1969. This isn't a big deal as I can just rename the folder to the right date, but has anyone else noticed this, and if anyone has, is there a solution? Thanx.

Hi guys, when I hold my phone at the edge at the power button side, I can press the back panel and the frame and it will move. Is it a manufacturing fault?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobnut:
Unless you are applying a significant force to it, I believe it might be. Just normal pressing shouldn't cause any movement in the frame/glass.

This post is dedicated for those who frequently use their beloved smartphone/tablet in the car for navigation or music.

Bored to see your device still loosing battery even if plugged in the car? The charging speed is way too slow?

Seems it gets less juice than it consumes for GPS ?

We will discuss why and how to trick this.

(I know it is already a well known subject but who knows, maybe it will help someone.)

Why ?

The low speed battery charge is due to the fact modern devices control themselves AC power they need for charging.

The device see two possible states when pluggin the microUSB connector :

- The USB plug is used for data connexion (with a Computer, USB Stick or any OTG accessory)

- The USB plug is used for charging only

Here is a wiring diagram of microUSB/USB cable (non-OTG) :

View attachment 2852878

To know in which state he actualy is, the device test the two data connectors D+ and D-.

If there is no connection between them, the devices assumes it is plugged on a computer. Then it limits its own consumption for charge to 500mA. This is how much a standard USB port is able to provide on a computer.

But if the two data pins are connected together, the devices believe he is plugged on standard AC and get the power it really need to charge efficiently (1A, 2A,... depends of the device).

How ?

WARNING

Do NOT plug this connector in your computer.

Do NOT use it for another usage than the usage I describe.

It might destroy the planet (almost)​

Assuming you don't want to destroy a connexion cable, there is a simple trick to achieve the very same result using a simple USB Female to USB Male Adapter.

View attachment 2852841

Why such a connector have been created is quite weird to me but it serves our purpose so let's get a cheap one on ebay

For the modding you will need

A sharp knife / cutter / scalpel

Soldering tools (iron, materials)

Cyanolit glue (or any glue you likes)

5 min

First, use the knife to open the connector form the side. Do it gently since you will reassemble it the same way in the end.

View attachment 2852822

Use the knife again to remove some of the white plastic to reach the internal connector pins

View attachment 2852823

Here you can see the two pins are unconnected

View attachment 2852824

Use the soldering kit you have to connect the two central pins

(In fact the USB specification mention a 200 Ohm resistance. Mine works without it).

View attachment 2852827

Beware for the soldering not to touch the external part of the connector

View attachment 2852828

Verify the connection between D- and D+ through the connector

View attachment 2852829

Reassemble the connector with the glue

View attachment 2852830

Result

You will get "AC charging" on your device while using this connector between your car power supply and the charging cable of your device.

Before / After

i have a samsung galaxy tab 2 7 inch tablet running android 4.0.4 . i have skype 4.9.0.45564 installed on it

i have skype installed on my laptop. i am able to delete the chat history on the laptop by going to tools --> options --> im & sms then clearing the history from there

the problem is i am unable to clear it on my tablet. it keeps coming back. nothing works. clearing data and cache in the settings, uninstalling then reinstalling and deleting recent conversations in useless. as soon as i open a skype contact then the previous chats with that contact reappear. the reason it is getting them from the skype servers and it's showing again :(

is there a workaround for this issue? i want when i click on a contact the history doesn't come back again. they have been cleared for the other contacts, but they keep coming back for one contact

Awesome post. Thanks so much for this.

Great tutorial as well, I succesfully (and easily) adjusted my height to 2 which is a lot less intrusive for my needs. ;-)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ins0mniaque:
Glad you find it useful. For those who intend to use it on a device that can rotate the screen, I remembered while commuting home that I forgot to regenerate the bitmaps on rotation. This means that the bar will not be drawn correctly upon rotation. I will fix this in the next version.

And if I feel like it, I might even make another application to configure it (to keep the bar's small footprint.)
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] mugen_jon:
Awesome application... thanks u very much...

i have already download and try it... however why my bar always shown in front of my wisbar not behind the wisbar ?

Have i do anything wrong ??
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] cr2:
We are working on it :)

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Ipaq6915
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ins0mniaque:
The bar is not "behind" the wisbar. It is simply not drawn at some places. To achieve the same looks as in the screen shot, the you need the 16 registry values I posted in the section "Here are the keys needed to achieve the look in the screenshot (at 240 x 240). It uses all the default values, except for 4 excluded regions (one per line).".
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oldsap:
hi, i tried it on my T-Mobile SDA WM5 smartphone but nothing happened. There was also no HKCU registry entries.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ins0mniaque:
Sorry, my bad! I blatantly assumed the smartphone edition was like the PocketPC edition. I will fix this in the next version. Probably friday afternoon.

I might have been a little bit too implicit. HKCU stands for HKEY_CURRENT_USER. All those keys do not exist, and they are not created by the program. The bar will attempt to read those values on start, and will fall back to the default value if the key doesn't exist. For exemple, if you only create the "HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\W x H\Height" key, then only the Height of the bar will be modified, nothing else.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] oldsap:
Thank you. will be eagerly waiting for it :)

thanks for the clear up

Does not reload on Power off

I am running WM6 on an AT&T Tilt. The program runs fine (and I find it extremely helpful...well done). For some reason, when I turn the phone off and restart it, the Battery Bar does not reload. I have to restart it every time. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance, both for the help and for creating a wonderful little program.

DJ
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] VandyCWG:
put the program inside your windows/start folder...

and it will start each time...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] jomo25:
Yes, this works well on my Kaiser. I like it quite a bit. It's small and does what it does.

note it's just an executable. not a cab file. So, copy the .EXE (extracted from the ZIP) and then just place it in your Program Files folder.

Then, you can also paste a shortcut of it in your \Windows\Startup folder, and it will execute every time you soft reset automatically.

If you ever need to stop it, just run it again manually, and it turns it off.

There is no "remove programs" items since it doesnt actually get installed like a CAB file. It's just an executable.

I downloaded the one from the freepocketpc software link above. (The original verison of this started about a year ago, the v1.1.1 on the freepocketpc link is from July.) Make sure you get the appropriate version (pocketPC or Smartphone)...

applying registry

Hello,

When I add a registry-line like you posted and i reset my wizard with wm6 afterwards the registry-input is gone?!

So i created the directory:

HKCU\Software\VistaHide\Battery Gauge\240 x 320\Height

and then make entry: default with value 3.

After reset this entry and directory is gone?!

Please help!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] craigiecraigie4:
Hell dude, you truly need to supply a .reg file with the settings for various devices (240 x 320 etc). New users are never gonna get this! Even for experienced users it takes ages to set up.

It's a nice, lightweight, app. Probably worth writing a quick settings proggie - seeing as you're keen to practice dev'ing anyway :-)

Edit: I went ahead and dug around a bit more. These should be the default values set up in the reg. I have not imported them to test as of yet, but this should be correct.

Note: It seems that it reads the color hex in the order Blue-Green-Red. A simple test is to enter the value 00FF0000 into one of the color regs. You would expect that region to turn red, but instead it shows as blue.

Here is a sample .reg if anyone wants to play with it. By no means is it great as I suck at graphics, but it will give you an idea of how to change things.

is there a Cab file for this program ?

Thank you (newbie)

Its not a cab file. Its just an executable. So, copy the file to your phone and just run it to open it. You can run it again, to close it. You should put a shortcut to it in your \Windows\Startup directory if ou want it to autostart whenever you softreset your phone.

Cannot uninstall even when inactive/ losing sms notifications

I'm running this on a stock tilt rom and I am having problems with uninstalling it. I run the exe again to make it inactive and when I go to delete the file in startup I get "Cannot delete 'vistahide battery guage': Theres has been a sharing violation. The source or destination may be in use.

I've also tried copying and pasting the vistahide file that is in startup to another folder and deleting it and now I have duplicate files that I cannot get rid of.

I'm trying to uninstall this because I'm not sure if it is what is causing me to sporadically lose any sms notifications. It seems since installing this I periodically will miss SMS messages because even though sound and vibrate notifications are on, I only am getting a sms notification on the today screen.

This is driving me crazy. Can someone please help me uninstall this?

[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Quiksmage:
This is what i did to get rid of it. Run it so that the program is no longer active and move it out of the folder using windows explorer. Just drag the file from /windows/startup to /. Then just do a soft reset and delete the file. I assume this will work but if it doesn't, create a folder in the startup folder and stick all the exes that you made in there, and move that folder. That's what i did by accident, but i assume it works exactly the same as moving the exe. Just make sure the rainbow bar thing isn't there when you move it, or it wont let you.

Can't imagine why someone would want to get rid of this... this is the best damn task bar battery meter I have seen.

Since there is hiding capability, I chose to hide a pixel every 24 pixels apart in portrait and every 32 pixels apart in landscape. Now I can very quickly estimate (down to 1%) how much battery is left without having to go through any kinda menu.

With other battery indicators I either have to squeeze my eyeballs to read the tiny number, or go back to today screen, or open up a specialty program, or estimate only very roughly. This is especially useful during a phone call when looking up how much battery is left is very difficult.
