Glad to read that you could recover your Diamond. I wish you good luck so it stays this way.

To avoid having to reinstall things from scratch in such cases, I use Sprite Backup. I successfully restored all data after hard resets on several different devices, including all settings. It can include or exclude storage card content. Just in case.

Just wanted to pop in to say hi, I really couldn't resist upgrading to the Galaxy S2 because of the top notch hardware, so I won't be taking advantage of this little piece of jewelry that battclock is anymore.

Heck, the S2 doesn't even have the ability to output mA readings :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
That is going to happen for much more people. When your 'old' Windows Mobile phone has to be replaced or you want a better mobile phone, you will choose for other Operating Systems, probably Android. Android, because we are not for nothing at XDA developers, and there you have still the chance to tweak :cool: As such Windows Mobile will bleed slowly dead. I will keep supporting BattClock as long as I can. Actually, I am busy testing the vibration patterns now :rolleyes:

Hope you enjoy your Galaxy S2 and look back at BattClock as the good old days ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Thats true, HTC is one of the less who support mA reading on Android...

Try Battery Monitor Widget (pro) for an calculated mA (calculated by % and mV, its very exact).

I regret to switch to Samsung instead of stay at HTC, Samsung has an very bad customer support (at least here in Germany).

my SGS2 is send in for Warranty supposes and absent since 12 weeks (send in now 3 times because they didnt fix my problem, and didnt really care about...)

Im thinking about to sell this crappy phone (when they got it fixed) and get an sensation...

Sorry for OT

Hi, don't know if this has been asked for but is it possible to have no background to match the transparent taskbars on my omnia ii?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
I think the "Transparent" Taskbar is only an image, if so you can use an image to make BattClock also semi transparent,

please refer to ZuinigeRijder´s Documentation here

Greetings.

Can someone help me with this. I set battclock to watch one regkey and it's doing that very well. When reg state is 1 it shows 1 and when it's 4 it shows 4. Can i set battclock not to show reg state values (1 and 4, that is %d in display format) but instead to show, for example red colored letter P for state 1 (but without 1) and green colored letter P for state 4 (but without P)?

Thank you...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Yes you can with a trick.

1 Instead of display format %d, use P

2 Set the low value to 1 and change the color (low) to red in the Colors setting screen

3 Set the high value to 4 and change the color (high) to the background color in the Colors setting screen.

I was a little bit confused by your remark:

- green colored letter P for state 4 (but without P)

So you want to see nothing then? Therefore you can make the foreground and background color the same, so you see no P:rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frotna:
Greetings.

Thanks for quick respond.

My mistake in explanation, it supposed to be:

- green colored letter P for state 4 (but without 4)

I tried with your suggestion, set display to P (tried with and without % in front) and changed colors as you suggested for low and high values but found that color of letter P isn't refresh when reg state is changed. I found that refreshment occurs only when i start some app that is full screen (over upper taskbar, Opera for example) and when i minimize that full screen app letter is in correct color....

Without help of full screen app color is refreshed correctly only if regkey state is also in display, for example %dP, but i want to show it without regkey, only letter...

Any other suggestion...

Thank you...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Indeed I only refresh the UI when the content changes, by comparing the textual result before and after. And yes, I do not take into account a color change :eek: Actually, you could call it a bug, although not much people would use this trick I proposed. That would solve your problem then.....I guess.

1 Instead of display format %d, use P

2 Set the low value to 1 and change the color (low) to red in the Colors setting screen

3 Set the high value to 4 and change the color (high) to the green color in the Colors setting screen.

I will see if I can take the color switch into account in a next version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poyensa:
that color switch could maybe used for the new feauture of taskbar changing color during calls introduced by ultrashot .... ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frotna:
Thanks, that would be nice...

I have few regkeys which state i want to monitor in taskbar (wifi on in stby, gps on in stby, usb charge when connected to pc...). For now i will use stripes (changing color) to visually represent their state, but it will be nicer if i could use letters or words...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Currently you can only control (when my fix is available in the next version) the color switch related to the item you want to display. I guess you want something else, change any color (foreground or background) when an external event (e.g. registry key) occurs :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] frotna:
Hi.

Can you also consider adding this to next version, ability to adjust which content goes to which individual location (i've made picture for better understanding)...

Cheers...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] the dragonlord:
Hi, would it be possible to use some of the cell feature combined with script or other plugin to display near the operator name or in the taskbar the name (description) of the location where "I am now"? For example if I'm in london to display somewhere "London" (in "nokia style")

Thanks

Heb translation

Hi.

Attached is the hebrew translation.

The file was a bit in mess (some hebrew elements were not in their respected position, so I took the liberty to set them correctly).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
You can just add a link in the autostart folder.

Note that the BattClock CAB does create it automatically.

%AppName%,0,battclock.exe

"battconfig",0,"battconfig.exe","%CE11%"

"Cell2KML",0,"Cell2KML.exe","%CE11%"

%AppName%,0,battclock.exe,%CE4% ; \Windows\Start

Maybe %CE4% does the trick?

But I do not a registry method to get the info you asked for.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
My priorities for BattClock are a bit lower now. Although I spent 2 evenings since last time. So there is progress, but slowly :eek:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reidler:
I can understand that. So I'll wait anxiously. I also await the new version because it has a fix for another problem that you said you fixed. Also I had not installed the version with the cell tower information. I am waiting to do it all in your next version. I would like to play with that also.

Take your time but I hope you can get to it sooner than later.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Again.

Were you able to spend any more time on getting out the latest version of Battclock?

I'm sorry to be nagging you and I hope you don't mind.

Thanks.

Man this app is surely one hell of a battery sucking leach.

Though works great with all the information on hand.

A 3/5 star app..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reidler:
Hi. Any luck with finishing off the newest features. I can't wait!

I'm going to have to reset and rebuild my phone again soon as I can. I did it last in July. I watch and see that somehow the main memory keeps getting used up more and more though I can't find how. Anyway since I'm going to reset it I'd love to work with your newest version that I'm looking forward to.

Thanks alot.

Eli

How can I assign a name to some CellID, eg I want to display instead CellID number "123456" as defined by me showed a "Power Tower"?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adiyant:
With use of "CPU%" ; "Process Count" etc.. and things which are constant on taskbar sucks out your entire battery.

I am backing this up as i have used this app without wifi/internet usage for entire day.

Actually no, it is not an image, it is true transparent taskbars on my omnia thanks to editing a couple of dll files... so what would be nice is to have an option for no background just the numbers i guess....

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
Coming back to this thread to ask for information; even now that I am on android, I still find this place useful :D

I'll be really short: since BattClock is pretty much the only really cool solution to get detailed battery stats under WM, I'd like to know from you windows mobile users, to let me know what's the voltage (mV) of your battery when WM tells you it's depleted.

In other words, what's the 0% charge (or almost zero charge) in Windows Mobile when translated into millivolts.

I ask because a common standpoint is that 4.2V is 100% (chargers are 4.2V and the fully charged battery gets that same voltage in the end), but when I was on WM my battery lasted sometimes even double than what it does on Android. Surely batteries get old, but I get suspicious when I see that Android tells me the battery is at 5% left of charge, even if the DV is slightly over 3600mV.

I think this is a notable shortcoming, since LiIon batteries can stand to be discharged with no harm up to 3.2V, but in any case 3.4V would still be an increase in battery life, since more of the battery charge is us before needing to recharge.

This is why I would like to compare the 5%~3600mV in Android, to what it is in Windows Mobile.

Can you BattClock users help me please? ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Hi,

i assume you speak from the HD2 ;-)

Mine goes down to 3,4V (in Android) as you can see here

but i think it was the same in WM.

The older the Battery, the higher is the Shutdown Voltage...

Im courios what Voltage others get.

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
Well, mine was pretty much an open-ended question, not necessarily tied to the HD2 ;)

I just remember I got up to 4days on WM and HD2, then I stopped checking that much, batteries got older in the meantime, android got flashed... things happened inbetween to be short, but I get 1% when the battery has still 3600mV on the HD2 :O

Now, on a fresh galaxy note, I still get ~5% at ~3600mV, so I begin thinking it's the OS that sucks at managing battery, and I wanted a comparison with a simpler OS that doesn't have useless "battery statistics" telling you if your battery is charged or not based on how it performed in the past, instead of hw it's performing right now :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I did not have time to continue. But I am close to having a release. My goal will be to post a new release at New Year, a nice gift :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I have written down my mV for an old battery for my Touch Diamond.

charging = +4209 mV

100% = 4128 mV

56% = 3830 mV

46% = 3785 mV

10% = 3636 mV (here I got the message that I need to charge my phone).

Note that while I was playing an video for getting the battery last shorter, I saw that the mV dropped very low while high CPU consumption: 11% battery percentage = 3119 mV. When idle (only display on) it came back to 3650 mV.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
Thank you Zuinige, I notice that strange behaviour as well, mV at the battery ends can change all of a sudden in both ways, but then it always goes back on track with the same path of the charge percentage.

I suppose at this point that ~3.6V is the "normal" treshold at which a liion is to be considered exausted by the phone, no matter the OS.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reidler:
Thank you very much. I'm anxious and eagerly awaiting. I have some issues with the way my phone delivers its notifications and I am so hoping that Battclock's new features in this area will be the answer I need.

Thank you very much.

[APP] [Updated 28-12-2011] BattClock version 3.8 *NEW* Sound/Vibration

First of all I wish everybody all the luck, strength and wisdom in the New Year.

As a gift a new BattClock version 3.8 with Sound/Vibrate pattern possibilities.

Changelog for 3.8:

Fixed bug that when BattClock was (re)started or configuration changed between 23.00 and 24.00 the wrong day of week was shown for 1 hour.

Fixed bug that some display values (e.g. total recharge time) were only updated after restart when "divide by" feature was used

Fixed bug that when date/time format strings where shown it was possible the display color was wrong at screen on the next day

Fixed bug that when there is a color change, but the display text did not change, the change was not updated immediately

Added Slovak translations, thanks to sirus

Updated Hebrew translations, thanks to Som30ne

Removed Cell2KML, because it can be downloaded separately via XDA CellTower2KML.

Added possibility to configure BattClock not to monitor with screen off (may safe a little bit battery) in "Others Settings"

Added possibility to play a sound when there is a change into configured low/medium/high value

Added possibility to vibrate when there is a change into configured low/medium/high value

As always the downloads can be found on SourceForge
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Thanks Zuinige!

I also wish everyone here in this Forum an successfully and healthy happy new year 2012! :D

Hello Zuinigerijder

I also wish you a Merry Christmas and a good year 2012. Thank you for this gift of the v3.8. I offer my congratulations also http://juancmmartin.wordpress.com/2011/12/14/os-deseo-a-todos/ and http://juancmmartin.wordpress.com/

I just download and install the new version v3.8 this excellent program that I use for a long time, for me is essential (already you made a donation for a time). I also work with you in the translation into the Spanish. I have downloaded the translation file and I will send you updated to the Spanish in this v3.8 (my last update was the previous to the v3.8 version).

I note that you've cancelled installation program "celltower2kml", which did not use to be able to increase the battery consumption. This new version v3.8 does all possible optimizations for lower battery consumption?. This topic always haunts me, because mobile devices consume all lot of battery.

Best regards
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
This new version is not much different than the previous version with respect to battery consumption. BattClock is designed to use a less as resources as possible and use as less as CPU cycles as possible.

There is a new option in 3.8 (in the Others settings screen) to disable not to monitor with screen off.

The effect will be that no CPU cycles will be used when the screen is off by BattClock. Note that this will only have effect when your phone is not in a deep sleep with screen off. Normally this would only a few minutes on a day. Check with "MINUTES STANDBY" counter, the number of minutes the phone has been standby (means still CPU activity possible). If Minutes Standby value is large, it means your phone will drain battery anyway (by other programs). So in general I expect this option does not really safe battery, but you never know ;)

Monitor with screen off (MonitorWithScreenOff = 1)

Disable this checkbox to configure BattClock not to monitor with screen off (may safe a little bit battery). Note that this might also have side effects, e.g. updates only done at screen on, e.g. Battery Voltage.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] New Daddy:
This is a great app.

I have one quick question: can you change the location of the battery% bar and the signal strength bar? My Touch Pro 2's LCD is a little misaligned, and the top part of the LCD is not exposed. It's sort of hidden under the case, so you have to tilt the phone to take a look at the top part of the top bar.

As such, I'd like to lower the location of the battery% bar and the signal strength bar. Is this possible? I couldn't find settings for those.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anoano:
Hi Zuinige,

Best wishes for Happy Holidays and a magnificent New Year.

Thank you for the New Year version 3.8.

Sound notification works fine for free % stripe on HD2, Diamond2 and TyTN II. I couldn't yet try the battery % warning. Very useful.

I noticed that when opening the sound file explorer, not all existing system notification files in the Windows folder are displayed. It is different from one device to the other. Example : the file "Lowbatt" is only displayed in HD2. It seems the sound file explorer searches for .wav files but not for .wma and Microsoft wasn't consistent for some sound file extensions. This is for your information but not really a problem. Can other non listed sound files also be selected via the registry or only the ones displayed?

I am also trying to set up the new sound feature "manually" on a Mio A201 (WM5) directly via the registry (.net cf version too old to use BattConfig). So far I did not succeed.

What I did is add the following entries in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\ZuinigeRijder\BattClock3

Stripe1LowSound

\Windows\Default.wav

Stripe1MediumSound

\Windows\Default.wav

This is also what I found in the other devices after using BattConfig. When comparing the registry content with the other devices, I found nothing else related to sound warning.

Is there anything else I need to do to "manually" activate the new sound feature without using BattConfig?

Or could it be a compatibility issue with WM5?

Please find attached the corresponding registry file to make it easier.

Thanks in advance for your help.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
In the Stripes Settings screen you change the location by changing the values X, Y, X2, Y2. But first select the stripe you want to change, by pressing the + or -, till the stripe you want to change appears.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Currently I search for the following file extensions: .mp3, .wav, .mid and .aif

I did not search for WMA files. It was for me unclear which filetypes were supported, but it looks .wma is also supported. So I can add .wma in the next update.

Of course you can set the wma file by the registry instead of via BattConfig.

I use the Microsoft SndPlaySync API and this works on WM6.0 onwards. This does not work in WM5. I did not invest time in supporting WM5 as fallback. And it is also difficult for me to test :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anoano:
Thanks for your fast reply.

I understand.

Anyway, a great app with huge customization possibilities.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reidler:
:p

Thank you so much. I downloaded the new 3.8 version and I hope to spend time learning it and setting it up over the weekend.

I can't wait to start working with it.

Thanks very much.

small problems on my device with mobile traffic counter

Dear Developer,

first of all, thank you for this program - with such a lot of possible tweaks

to the perfect fit on the screen.

Only one small problem I have to figure out, the "Mobile Traffic Counter"

is not working - starting on my device, Samsung Omnia Pro WM6.1.

Is there a registry entry which defines the connection profil to watch - or

what could be the solution?

All the counters on the "Mobil...kB" stay permanent on the "0" value...

Best regards, Torsten
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
This problem is reported by some other users too. I did investigate a lot of time in why this problem occurs on some phone (types). But I have no clue why it does not work for all phones. Is your phone using 3G for Mobile data?

I use 2 registry values, to determine if Mobile data is on:

HKLM\System\State\Connections\Modem\Count

and

HKLM\System\State\Connections\Cellular\Count

One or both must have a value more than 0. You could check if those registry values are more than 0 when mobile data is on. Thereafter I check with RasGetLinkStatistics for the data bytes send and received. Apparently that is not working for your phone.

You can also enable debug logging (in About screen), reproduce the problem by downloading some Mobile data and post the log file BattClock.log.txt in the folder where BattClock is installed (normally \Program Files\BattCLock" in an English OS, as zipped attachment. Maybe that gives a clue :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TorstenF:
Debug Log Attachement

Dear Developer,

thanks for the quick answer...

I checked the values in the registry, the HKLM\System\State\Connections\Cellular\Count is on value "1", ...\Modem\Count is on "0" ---> on a HSDPA Connection, also on a GPRS Connection

Please find the the zipped log attached.

Generally counting of data traffic works on this phone - up to now I use HomeScreen++ for this, but I would like to transfer this part to BattClock...

Best regards, best wishes for New Year 2012, Torsten
