So far so good. Thanks again so very much. I'm loving it!

Also - maybe you helped me with some other Windows Mobile bugs. I am going to save that list of registers you noted yesterday or the day before for the phone's different modes of sound/vibrate/silent. The next time my phone's speaker shuts off again I am going to look at them to see if any of those registers changed. Maybe I can figure something out. It happens pretty often. Once a day or every two days usually. There are many little bugs in the phone (I emailed a few to you the other day) but I'm learning to live with them. My friends that have Androids also have bugs. So there's no escaping them.

:):)

Wow. It just happened again on my phone. All the sounds stopped. I checked those registers but all ok. So - reboot - reset the phone.

By the way - so far that other bug I once mentioned to you when my phone starts vibrating uncontrollaby and doesn't stop - so far since 3.8 it hasn't happened yet. But that's a little more rare than this phone bug. I hope that stays gone. :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] reidler:
All great!

So everything continues to be great! The Total Recharge Minutes seems to be accurate right on the mark. It was accurate yesterday. This morning I unplugged the phone at 6AM and at 12PM it showed 360. I just unchecked the Monitor While Screen off flag. You said it might save a drop of battery. I'll try it.

I also played a little with the REGKEY POLL SECONDS. I changed it from the default 3 to 6. I'm going to see if that limits the multiple new email messages. The side effect is that it waits a little extra before it notifies me of a new email. If that works it might be worth it. But I don't understand why you had it at 3. It seemed to me that it was updating every 1 second. Was that my imagination or does 3 mean something different than clock seconds?

I'm going to document all the enhancements in my notes - especially the 9110000 feature.

Thanks so much again for all of your work and the enhancements and fixes. I really appreciate them all.

Eli :) ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Good to hear it is all working fine, beside the little problems you have with your phone (unrelated to BattClock). Maybe you can share the problems you encounter, so others might think about those for possible solutions?

In practice it will not do save much battery. Note that it might be that your phone is awakening regularly to check the emails, etc, without turning the screen on. If you want to be notified about those changes, you should NOT uncheck the Monitor While Screen off flag.

It does use that setting to see how often to be checked. At least that should be the case.

No thanks, enjoy the software. Probably there will be not many updates anymore, because of the effort on my side and the diminishing interest for Windows Mobile. We will see what the future brings.....

Does anyone know of a good app for WEATHER? I'd like something that gives current weather conditions and the forcast for a few days. It should allow me to enter a city and also use GPS to know the current location. Any good ideas for this?

---------- Post added at 01:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

Oh! Don't say that! I thought Battclock was very good before these new enhancements. But these really make it so much greater. I suspect you might come up with more great ideas!

On the RegKey poll seconds - what I was asking was does that number mean number of clock seconds? It was set to 3 but I don't think it updated every 3 seconds. It seemed to me it updated every 1 second. I changed it to 6, does that mean it will update every 6 seconds? I'll be watching to see if I can figure it out.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
If RegKeyPoll changed into 6 it will check/update the registry keys once per 6 seconds. But the clock, if you display seconds, will of course be updated once per second.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
The background image cannot be made transparant.

You must make a background image which fits in the style of where the battClock is overlayed. And then configure this as background image. As such it looks transparent, as you can see in the examples from other users here.

See also this post, describing a user who did this for MightyROM.

And this one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tubgirl:
Wow! This is great... thanks a lot for your efforts. I love the way the font sizes can be customized. A tip for the next version would be to be able to copy the portrait settings to the landscape settings with just a press of a button. (I copied the values in the registry just to make sure I have the same numbers)

Have a beer for the €5 I just donated! :)

This is how I've got it configured right now...

What Next? BattClockPro?

Hi zuinigeRigder.....

......Just wondering if you had considered expanding BattClock further? I was just looking at my phone and thinking how cool you app is and that it would be great if all my icons could be overlayed in the same way, I guess the speaker icon would be the easiest but what the heck...the whole task bar. I at one time made quite a few start buttons, but with BattClock I can put any image I like over my startbutton very easily, just a random thought, sorry to wander a bit off topic... :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] I m J James:
awesome app
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] I m J James:
heres my screencapture. I like it alot, but it seems out of sync with the actual battery. rigiht now its displaying 83percent even though I have 90percent.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] I m J James:
nvmd seems to be normal now.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RED_RIAN:
I'm sorry I didn't inform you of my post. Feel free to take whatever you need or ask me if you want anything else. Thanks a ton! I no longer install custom taskbars.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tubgirl:
Is it possible to pull the week number from WM?

Right now I have the date line configured as "d/m" (22/1) but it would be awesome to be able to also squeeze in the week number on the same line as well. Something like "d/m/w". Today for instance I would like it to say 22/1/3 or even better 22/1v3 (v stands for week in my language).

This makes me think about a very nice little freeware program called TClockEx that I keep running in the tray on my WindowsXP where you can do these things.

Brgds... /TubGirl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Odjavel:
If you talk about the original WM battery status, it decrements only by 10%, so if you have 83%, it is over 80%, so WM shows 90% ; it will show 80% only when you will have less than 80%. BattClock shows the real battery status in 1% decrement.

Thanks for the new version ZuinigeRijder, very good update !
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] I m J James:
yeah I notice that, battclock is more accurate.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fieldop:
I'm running on nhathoa's latest 6.5.1 rom, the original battery display gets cut off, i don't know how i can solve that, any replies would be very much appreciated! by the way, this is a great tip...if i can get it to work.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Thanks for the donation. I see that the fontsizes can improve the readability of the important content. I had to think about, how to make sure the larger fontsize also gets more room, without having to configure the room for each individual row. As always, the solution was really simple. The relative fontsize determined the room required :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Haha, yeah, you can already make a large space for the BattClock, just make a screenshot of the top bar and that is your BattClock background ;)

But of course you want more, you want the icons change, because those are status indicators. And then it becomes much harder :cool:. BattClock will not be usable on all phones anymore (due to differences in phones), it will be much harder to program (although with much effort it could be doable) and BattClock will grow in size and not so resource friendly anymore. Looks that then there are a lot of other alternatives.

So I prefer to keep BattClock small. Who knows, what programs I will make in the future, but I will not change the concept of BattClock :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Also for TouchLockPro there were already wishes, to format the content freely. Then a (even multiline) format string should be provided by users. This is of course the most flexible, but also a bit harder to configure (because you need to understand the format strings, for non-programmers maybe a it technical). But maybe provide both options :confused:

The problem is that normally the space is limited, so therefore till now I did choose for predefined content. But I will add this on the wish list, including the weeknumber.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I assume you did try to configure it differnetly with BattConfig.exe from version 1.6 in the Programs menu?

Can you post a screenshot about the cut-off? Maybe then I understand better what is wrong.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
BattClock on Windows Mobile Version 5

Here a private message posted from a WM5 user. I wanted to share here.

Thanks for informing me. I did not know about this version. So I did a search and found this post.

So I will change that too, so it runs also on WM5 devices. I will also post this in the forum, so people are aware of it.

Thanks for the tip!

I assume BattConfig is NOT working, so you need to use the registry to change settings :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Hmmm, it looks like the screen on is not detected, because of different WM5 API :confused: Or something else wrong. Does it also not update after a minute?

Can you enable debug logging, reproduce the scenario and post the log file \BattClock.log.txt in the root of your phone memory as zipped attachment. Maybe that gives me a clue.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tubgirl:
Maybe each row could contain a maximum of 3 parts of user selectable data and you could choose what to display yourself using "+" and "-" the way you already do?

You could choose between: Empty, yyyy, yy, mm, m, dd, d, 24hh, 24h, 12hh, 12h, ww, w, battery%, FreeMB, Free%... or any other type of information you can think of... (numerical value for speaker volume maybe if that's possible?).

That way the user will have an array of up to 9 things they can display... of course depending of what people want to display a line can be pretty wide but that's the choice of the user. If all 6 dividers (2 per row) could be configurable too that would make it extremely customizable (for instance my date row could show 23/1w3 (first divider "/" and the second "w")).

Maybe my configuration would be:

24hh/mm/empty

d/m/w (others may prefer d/m/yy)

FreeMb/battery%/empty

Which with the dividers of my choice would look something like:

13:02

23/1w3

192m73%

Sad... but it was clear to hear at sometime :(

Just for interest:

Are you successfully in developing for IOS, or did you give up the programming for mobile devices anymore?

Anyway, thanks for one of the greatest and vividly mobile Programs (should i call it now App?:p ) i ever seen ;)

I was using GPS Weather Radar, cant remember if there was an forecast possibility,

but it was showing an great (Rain) Radar image from your area.

Accuracy/Availability depends on your location...

Did use it often for hiking/biking to see if rain is coming.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] anoano:
SBSH PocketWeather can do all that, it is highly customizable (also for Weather sources) but it seems the editor abandons the WM support for newer OS. The WM forum was removed from their site. I am still using it on a device and updates are OK.

I also used SPB Weather for a short time but forecasts were less accurate, coming from another source. More finger friendly. I am not sure if it has the GPS feature.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcmm:
Hello

I've tried practically all weather prediction programs, and I have bought several of them, among others that quotes in your message.

in fact, developers have abandoned the development and maintenance of its programs for Windows Mobile (unfortunately, I do not understand, there are many users even with Windows Mobile).

After trying all of these programs, I got one that I think is the best of all, and with more complete information. Elecont Weather is called. Although the developer has stopped the continuity of development of the application for Windows Mobile (also with Android and iOS), this version of Windows Mobile works perfectly in his latest update, and developer perfectly maintains the data service for this version of Windows Mobile (very frequent update of data), which is quite faithful to reality. I recommend you try this program, which is very cheap, so its price/quality ratio is unbeatable.

Elecont Weather = http://www.elecont.com/weather-for-pocket-pc.aspx#null

I can suggest you "Mort Script" its very flexible easy to script and has all you need to do that.

There was also an command line interpreter compatible to MS-DOS developed by Microsoft, it was originally written for Windows Mobile (i think) 2003 but working until WM6 ... included in an package of tools (name was something like power tools or so???) but its not downloadable from MS anymore...

Maybe i can found it somewhere on my old backups.

thats what i meant "Power Toys" :)

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
There is a tool called cleartemp, I did never used it, but maybe it works for you?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I had installed Android on my Touch Diamond, but the battery was draining as hell. I also bought an iPad 2 and is now confiscated by my family :rolleyes: I have developed in the past for Objective-C (15 years ago!). But for developing iOS application you need a Mac or Hackintosh. I had a Hackintosh running in a virtual machine, but actually I did not want to dive into iOS programming, because there are so many (free) Apps available, so why spent effort to have just another one :confused: And then you still have to pay yearly to develop for iOS and still need to go through the approval procedure of Apple. And also the battle between Android, iOS and Windows Phone is still not done.

Note that for my work we switched to use Silverlight for developing business applications. We know that Silverlight will disappear also over time and that probably HTML5/Javascript will be the future. So I made a Web application using HTML5 on iPad. That was working Ok. So my choice is to follow HTML5 developments and maybe make some small apps to get real insight in the Do's and Dont's.

The goal of me is to learn something which is useful for me, so that will not be programming specific for Android, iOS or Windows Phone. And also not the Mobile development platforms which do exists. I decided to focus on HTML5 only :eek:

I did not earn much with BattClock, especially when you take into account the numbers of hours spent, but I learned a lot and all the aspects of making a quality application on a Windows Mobile platform was a good experience. I thank everyone supporting me and for the donations I got. But now is the time to really stop development for Windows Mobile and focus on HTML5. I can spent my scarce free time only once, especially because I am developing software as a professional as a full time paid job. That is where I earn my money ;)

Hope you keep enjoying the *free* BattClock and if you also move away of Windows Mobile phone you will remember/miss BattClock as a very cool Swiss Knife App :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] poyensa:

EDIT:

In Attachment the latest "German" translation File - but i down know what you changed by google translate (im only look for empty cells) ... maybe you can PM me the last Version without GoogleTranslate... (I will also ask Ephestione to translate to ITALIAN, so you will have an fine cut... )

The world is small so who knows how we meet in the future :)

In 3.8.1 a "Help" button has been added in the About screen. So I translated this to "Hilfe". I also translated "Test" to "Prüfung".

By the way, you can find the differences in subversion archive. All the excel worksheets are under source control.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
There were only a few missing translations for Spanish. But of course do check if they are correct. Of course I will update translations when they are provided, but I will do that in batches. That is not real development, but support :)

Thank you so much for sharing such a great app and for providing many updates with lots of improvements until the excellent final release.

@reidler

I was also interested and had a quick look at Elecont Weather. It is a nice app. However it takes a lot of storage space (total 9.5 MB, internal 2.5 MB, storage card 7 MB), resources and drains the battery because of its animated icons that I don't need. Unfortunately, their support can not provide a version without the animated icons.

You can find SBSH PocketWeather 2.3.1 RC2 (Build 4573) here: http://de.sbsh.net/index.php?showtopic=5273

It can be installed on the storage card. If you decide to use it, I can provide some additional skins and icons.

A few suggestions to clean up and maybe stabilize your device:

1) backup your device, just in case, you can use the trial of Sprite Backup here : http://www.spritesoftware.com/products/sprite-backup/full-edition

2) download the trial version of SKTools here http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?m_products.html

3) use the Clean! Utility (Temporary and Cache Folders, Temporary and Junk Files), you can add custom folders

4) use the Tune Up! or Optimize! utility

5) make a Registry optimization

6) enable FreeUP RAM Service and make sure it is running in Shadow Services.

SKTools has many more features described here http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?sktools/m_feat.html and here http://s-k-tools.com/sktoolsm.pdf

It did a very good job on all my devices.

After this "fitness program" your device should be much more responsive and stable.

I hope this helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] crazy cat:
Wow! Thanks so much.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcmm:
Hello anoano,

Elecont Weather allows you to configure the icons of the plugin Today without animation, in the configuration of the program. Thus consumes fewer resources.

I also SBSH Weather. If you can provide me skins and also additional icons I would be good.

If you're interested, I was in frequent contact with the developer of SBSH Weather until the disappearance of the program, and have the latest version which was available: v2.3.1 RC8 (8145) 03-05-2011... the last one.

the advantage of Elecont Weather for SBSH Weather is still give support for the program (although its development this detainee), updating data is more frequent, and the list of cities is much broader that SBSH Weather.

BattClock has been THE most useful PROGRAM on my TP2. IT IS what I look at FIRST before anything else!! When I pick up my cell it gives the immediate heartrate, respiration & hell even perspiration of my system; without it I am lost.

Yes, I incorporated those translations. But I did find some missing translations, like Help and Test, so better check if the translations are Ok by just looking at the spreadsheet. Just to be sure/double check there are no stupid translations inside.....;)
