fantastic app! it's perfect! thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ringer79:
is it just me or when i installed version 2.0, my battery meter increments only go by .10 instead of .01 like it was previously mentioned in this thread.

running an HTC Touch WM 6.0... any thoughts why it is going by 10% cause i really was looking forward to the .01 increments since the stock battery program already does it by the 10s...

tia!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NotLutzik:
It has to do with battery driver be able to display in .01 %
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] grandpareza:
cute kid, good video, nice app. works all around.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ringer79:
battery driver

is there a way to install a different battery driver or alter the one my phone has to enable it to display 1% increments? thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NotLutzik:
Dont know what phone u have and if it will work but here is driver for 6800 from No2chem.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] paty:
Hi,

Can we set the battery meter display only on Today screen but not on all pages? Because I set to display TIME on other application pages?

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] bokeler:
Congrats on your new born baby and thanks for software. But needs some colors.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
Ariel battery is built specifically to appear at all times, so the battery info will be visible during phone calls for example. If you wish to see battery info on the today screen, consider using program called "BatteryStatus", wich shows batery info on today screen.:cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] manaaa:
hi,

is it possible to place the arielbatterymeter to the original battery-icon from wm? or its just replacing the start-icon?

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] NotLutzik:
Yes it can be moved to replace other icons on taskbar.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] melkhatt:
feature request

Thank for this useful app, but i have one request:

An option to choose what to open on tap and on hold

For example, i want that you app opens Start menu on Tap and Options on hold.

thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] parcou:
I have searched and have not found a way to hide the original battery meter on my VZW-6800 if possible. I say a few reg hacks that pointed to the local keys under power. The dword show icon 0 but it is still there...

Has anyone found a reg hack to remove the default battery meter that I have missed if possibe?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ageye:
super nice app! works perfect!

I have one suggestion:

I use it on my diamond (VGA) and it's some pixels too near to the top of the phone... I hope you get what I mean...

Propably the best solution would be to implement not only the "move left-right" buttons but also "move top-bottom" buttons...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] an123:
thanks! very handy app to have, especially considering the poor battery life of the diamond

ariel is very cute btw :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Alexx_B:
nice app

but how about use original start menu + battery icon on win logo button at same time?

of course I can move battery icon, but i think that start menu button is great place for that. but I can't use start menu :(

can you save standard tap at start menu button for start menu and long tap - for ariel config please?

maybe like optional settings.....

i think that make your program more friendly :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
To activate the Start menu, you can click on on the word "Start" , instead of clicking on the icon of start menu ( which is replaced by Ariel Battery ). :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Alexx_B:
yes, I knew that

but rather task-managers display in that area running programs items (like taskbar in Windows)

Sometimes it is difficult to find free space in that bar :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gadmanz:
Thanks I neede that for my diamond it works perfect
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hamansan:
Nice work. Now i can have more accurate indicator.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kkchris:
Many thanks for a great app. I love it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tanwill:
Thanks , needed it for my Diamond.

Excellent soft.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eazy2001x:
very nice.. is there anyway to put the % of life inside the icon insead of under it.. ? it looks very nice.. good job...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gtpete:
Great app. Have you considered a version that can allow you to show just the percentage figure only?

I find the current combined set up hard to read it as its so small.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
If I'd have put the percentage inside the icon, it would make the numbers even smaller. Don't forget, most PDAs have tiny 2.7" screens :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Svein10:
Very nice app, thank you so much! :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eazy2001x:
hmm.. what about this.. let say that the total height of the battery from top to bottom is 10 (ten is a number to reference height for an example). now the battery takes up 6 and the text below it takes up 4 in height. Now if you take the text off the bottom (4) you end up with extra space for the battery icon. you can make it larger on the top and bottom by 4 using the space you just got from removing the text from the bottom. then put it inside and it should end up being the exact same space in height.

in the end you will end up with a larger battery icon with the same size text inside it (X Percent).

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jiggs1337:
Great ap, thanks very much. I have a small problem though. It says Time remaining: 0.00 all the time. Ive changed the 350 minutes to 600, but it still says 0.00 all the time.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Texican:
I can't believe I've been looking at a pda screen for over 5 years and never thought to use that piece of real estate. I've been using powerstatus (another piece of freeware) but I much prefer this one. Congratulations on a job well done!!!!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
I've made an example of what Ariel battery would look like, if I understood your suggestion correctly. Attached is a picture of both options. In the right option, the battery power can be barely read.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] angler:
I would prefer seperate line to display text and icon of battery status as the original one. The text is more readable in tiny device.

One suggestion: Can you make the frame in a thicker line? Since there is only an option to change the frame colour when in charging, and it can be showed up better if the frame size is thicker.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Slurm:
Thanks, great little app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] luism:
Am I the only one having this problem?

I download the app, and placed the exe file in the startUp folder in my device (AT&T Tilt). Restarted the phone and got a message saying it was corrupted or missing some files. What did I do wrong?:o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eazy2001x:
yeah. Something like that.. the batt is dbl the size in hight and 1px longer to the right in the middle pic. the top one has no % after.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
Ariel battery was written in pure API, without .NET or any other components.

It should work on any Windows Mobile device.

Try launching Ariel Battey manually from the File explorer on your device, and see if it runs ok.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
1) In your first sugestion, there is no %, just a number. In my opinion, if the number is there by itself, it is bit unclear what is stands for.

2) In your middle illustration, there are 16 pixels in width to hold the number and percentages, when in the current version there are 20 pixels for that. ( In your midle painting the number is touching the side walls of the battery drawing. It makes the number sometimes unclear. There should be at least one pixel to seperate the number from the walls. That leaves only 16 pixels in width to work with , which is 20% less then 20 pixels, thus the number will be 20% smaller).

3) In your third suggestion, the number is very small and thus unclear relatively to the current version.

:cool:

If you manage to come to some other variation, let me know :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tmz:
I can't get this to work with my htc touch diamond sprint CDMA stock rom ??

Thanks T M Z
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
What problem exactly are you experiencing? There should be no problem running Ariel Battery 2.0 on your type of device.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tmz:
This is what happens when I go to (Tool/Setup)?

Then the phone locks up , I have to do a soft reset to get out of it.

Thanks T M Z
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
HTC Touch Diamond has a VGA screen. Therefore, when you go to Tools->Setup , and try to change one of the chosen colors, the color selection window is bigger than the screen. However, that color selection window can be moved ( just drag it with your stylus pen by the title bar at it's top ).

Did this solved your problem ?

BTW , the colors can be changed thrue the registry as well. ( 0xFF0000 = Red, 0x00FF00 = Green etc ... )
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] tmz:
No, when I get to this screen and select a color, it locks my phone up.

Thanks Ill try the registry..

Thanks T M Z

Just thought you might like to see a screenshot of how I customized Ariel Battery 2.0 on my Diamond. Great little app, cute little boy :p All the best,

Tim
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
No cab file is needed. Just put the ArielBattery.exe file in the .\Windows\Startup directory, so it runs itself every soft reset. Of Course you can put the exe file anywhere, create a shortcut to it, and put the shortcut in the Startup directory.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
Thanks for the screenshot. I used it in the diamond thread:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 6680abhi:
Thanks for the great app! How do I customize it for the touch diamond so that the logo is black and white and replaces the current battery logo as above?

Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] abbhagwat:
very good program but you need to add some facilities they can be optional by marking them tickmark unable. I feel this meter should replace original meter which it does but it should not be permanant on display and should disappear when original battery icon disappears and should take exact place of original battery icon. This can be a additional option and you may add tickmark to unable it. But this feature will have lot of takers as it looks bad if time is shown in half from behind battery meter. I understand you want it on task bar permanently but that can be an option too

Think and if possible modify it to make it more attractive.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
Just tap on Ariel battery icon when it is running, tap on Tools->Setup at the bottom of the screen and choose all colors to black or white, according to your flavor.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZED_pt:
Very simple but very usefull.

Using it.Thanks! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
Unforchently, there are several WM operating systems ( WM2003 , WM2005 , WM2006 , WM7-new ) and even more home screen shells. Each one handles battery display differently, draws it differently, etc.

It will be extrimely hard to make Ariel Battery to detect even a few of all those different options.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jason Syn:
Anyone know how to get rid of the Windows icon on the start menu? I have an all black theme and adjusted the battery meter to match but I can see blue under the meter from my start menu icon.

Awesome app though!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
That's a bit unusual program behavior. Try moving Ariel Battery icon to replace the default battery icon, and not the Start button icon.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] abbhagwat:
Removing Program

is there any registry entry of program that will remain if we terminate the program.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] deuzeff:
As far I know this is a stand-alone .exe, there is no installation thus no registry entries...

EDIT: I'm wrong see below
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
Let me correct you. Ariel Battery has options. Those options need to be saved somewhere, so that when the program restarts ( after a soft reset for an example ) it will remember the chosen options like colors etc...

Those options shouldn't be saved inside the exe file, and are saved in the registry.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hendrixus:
Thanks for the software.

One thing. The "Hide" bar is too far to the right in portrait mode. This is not the case in landscape.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] abbhagwat:
Let me correct you. Ariel Battery has options. Those options need to be saved somewhe

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Techie87:
nice software m8 :)

thanks! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 1999TL:
great app. Does this drain the battery at all? I was under the impression that programs like this pull for information lot so battery consumption goes up? but if I'm reading correctly, this program doesn't have that problem?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
Ariel battery was built with a great thought of efficiency and power saving. Since the program's CPU usage is about 0.001% , and it's memory footprint is so tiny, the processor barely wastes any resources on the program, therefore the impact on the device's battery is absolutely neglectible. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] 1999TL:
I got that impression from this thread. No complaints. Thank you very much for this program. Very simple, yet very handy. I was running SPB mobile shell and the today screen had the battery %. Now, I'm running Manilla, and this app fits the bill perfectly since I didn't have a battery meter.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rogeriodeluca:
Excelent Tool

Excelent tool dude! But, how can I change the estimated battery lifetime? Is the 350 the powerdrain?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
Just change it to the minutes your device can last...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] alanlh:
Man, I love this vid! Thank you for bringing this forum some more fun.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
The registry entry that Ariel Battery saves it's setting in is "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/kuchin/ArielBattery".

Alter values at your own risk :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
The problem with using a battery monitor program that adds another Icon to the icons in the top bar, is that it leavs less space for other top bar icons, so when a new icon has to be shown ( like a reminder , or an sms ) there is no space for them, and they are gethered under a general icon. Not very convinient . Ariel Battery replaces unused icons, therefore wastes no realestate space :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] y_bother:
thaaaaaaaanx it's really great specially since using 2D manila make it imossible to use the battary status.

great work :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] eazy2001x:
Not the software.. I was showing you that to use it as more of an example with the % of battery life inside the battery icon. see pic..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaydubya:
Is the way that remaining battery is estimated different from the way that the default battery icon in WM 6 uses? I.e., this program uses an estimate of minutes that the device can last before the battery runs out. How does WM6 battery icon do it?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
There is no connection between the icon and the the "Estimated battery lifetime" variable.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaydubya:
Thanks for your response!

Do you happen to know how WM6 estimates available battery life?

Cheers,

Jeff
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sunny127:
There are several electronic ways to determine battery percentage.

My guess is that pocket pc devices measure the batteries’ output voltage and current, respectively to the device's inner resistance, and by that can determine the remaining battery power.

However, windows mobile programmers don't have to worry about these things, as there is a simple API call to determine the remaining power, in percentage.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jaydubya:
Hi - I've noticed that the battery icon is only updated in 10% increments on my Sprint Diamond. Is there any way to get it to update in 1% increments?

[Networking] SergeT:
Hi all,

I have several WM5 and WM6 devices wich connect to my companies network using GPRS for Outlook sync and a custom application. I want to use our proxy-server to add internet acces for our users in a controlled way. The OWA server and the custom application server need to be directly, not by the the proxy-server. So I have to add those the URL Exceptionlist ( there are dots in the names).

Manually this is easy to configure but I use scripts to configure the devices (XML-provisioning and some other tools). Can't find out how to add entries to the URL Exceptions list. Found they are stored in \ConnMgr\CMMapP and ~CMMapG. Copied these files from one device to another (by ActiveSync) but that doesn't work. These files have the system attribute set and I guess their permanently in use by ConnectionManager.

Doe anyone have a suggestion how to distribute URL exceptions?

Thank in advance.
