BattClock show the values as reported by the battery driver. The default Battery indicators indeed round them by 10% steps, BattClock does not. But apparently your Battery driver only reports in 10% increments. So you need to find another battery driver for your phone/ROM, which also reports the exact value.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcmm:
Hello,

I have a HTC Touch Pro, with the original ROM WM6.1 Pro, and I BattClock shows the percentage of the battery in stretches of 1% in the number and area stretches from 10% in the area of the bar graph. That is, I think it will BattClock perfect for me.

I have also adjusted to take BattClock information every 180 seconds (60 seconds instead of Standard) so I use less battery.

Sincerely,

Omnia 2 CPU

Is there a fix for the Omnia 2 CPU% stripe showing very high activity yet? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] momyc:
I wish samething if it's possible...

Thank you !

Align L/R

At the moment the stripes all run from left to right, is it be possible to reverse that so that the two right hand stripes (signal and free ram, by default) will start from the right hand edge of the screen?:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] suppmiker:
it wont let me turn off the stripes
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Is it possible you have a program installed which also measures CPU%. Because some programs have another way of measuring the CPU. They have an endless running Thread with lowest priority which consumes all the time when there is no other program active. So that will cause that the microsoft API gives back a high percentage (because the low priority thread is consuming all CPU). It is just a guess.

What are other task managers saying? How is there the CPU%?

Mostly task managers do it differently, they make a snapshot of all processes/threads and a next snapshot the next time and count the CPU spent for all Processes/Threads. Alsdo they take care of added/removed processes/threads. This is also more CPU intensive, so that would make BattClock less lightweight, when this is implemented. SO it is not an immediately route I would go for. Especially because I do not know for sure the cause. It could be the first possibility, another program having a low priority Thread......
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
That would mean another option in the Location screen. I will set it on the wish list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
In the Stripes settings screen make sure you go through all the stripes (press + on the first item in the Location screen) and uncheck "Stripe Enabled" for each stripe. There are 6 stripes, the first 4 are enabled by default.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mike2nl:
I had the same idea today, but my goes more cary. Why not from top to down and reverse :D:D. I know, but it was an idea [ZR]
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mafesama1:
Stripes....

I have a stripe showing the battery charge so it shows remaining charge.

I have a stripe that shows remaining free memory...

I have a stripe that shows remaining signal strength.

But when it comes to CPU load, I only have the current load, not the remaining capacity...

So in order to have all those stripes matched, (100-current CPU load) should also be made available....OH, PLEASE.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lord.Nibbler:
Hi ZuinigeRijder,

first please let me congratulate you for this really nice little app :cool:

The stripes are a really cool feature that allow me to add a little graphical battery :)

Yet I have a little issue as it is not possible to set the position for landscape (and using a negative value for the stripe width won't work in my case as it keeps the X position but it extends the width till the right border of the screen).

Could you please add landscape value for position or modify the negative width value trick to keep the correct value of the width without extending the strip till the right border ?

Also it would be nice if the text could be displayed over the stripe so I could display the percentage value 'inside' my little battery :D

Cheers,

Nibbler
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PMoto:
That's a good point, indeed. This and the reversed stripes.

Anyway, you done another interesting thing: You put a grey color beyond?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lord.Nibbler:
I deserve no credit for the grey background :p

There is a "Background Color" button in BattConfig in the Stripes section :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] PMoto:
Yes... thats good. And it's good looking.

I get it too.

I'm gonna play with it, and maybe I get some screen later.

Thanks.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vsinha71:
just to say a big thanks for this app. its all that i ever wanted on my taskbar alongwith amazing customization possibilities.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I think it is not logical to have the CPU stripe shown almost whole green when there is only 1% CPU load. Is there a special reason you want the remaining free CPU%? Is it only that those match then with the other stripes?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Very Cool :) people are very creative with the BattClock features. I am often amazed how people use the features to make it their own look and feel. That is also I want to make the options always flexible, so the possibilities are endless and people can take their own taste they like. Configuring sometimes comes a little bit more difficult, because if you have only a few predefined options :cool: you cannot choose much :rolleyes:

Looking at the suggestions, I think it is a good idea to have options to position the stripes better in landscape, from right to left and from down to up and vice versa.

My idea is to change the width and height definitions into X2 and Y2. All the numbers can be negative too:

- X or X2 negative: measure from the right (great for landscape)

- Y or Y2 negative: measure from the bottom (great for landscape subclassing DesktopExplorerWindow)

- X2 < X: draw battstripe from right to left, instead of left to right

- Y2 < Y: draw battstripe from bottom to top instead of top to bottom

I will see if I can add these possibilities in the next version.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smuook:
Thanks ZuinigeRijder for this app. I find it extremely useful. Here's my solution... I created a background that looks like my taskbar icons and placed it on the left side of the taskbar. I'm also using arkSwitch task manager which launches when you touch this area. I just use the readouts and not the stripes.

Since my use of Battclock is to the left side of the screen, I have a similar problem as above in that the position doesn't hold in landscape. Since I am setting the start point from the right (negative value). Is it possible to have an option to set the start point from the left (and use positive X values)?

Thanks again and great work. It is very flexible to allow many different configurations.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Lord.Nibbler:
Yeah X2 and Y2 looks a really good idea : it will allow a lot of customization with few parameters in the registry :cool:

Looking forward the new release :D

The background image is also a good idea, maybe I'll add a more fancy battery outline as a background image and add the stripe inside :)

Cheers,

Nibbler
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Yes, if you fill in a positive number, it will compute the starting point from the left.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smuook:
Ahhhh... I see now. Thanks. It wasn't intuitive to me, but it makes sense now. Here's my latest screen shot. I placed mini-stripes above the values. The dash sizes are proportional to the width and look good when they are small.

Concerning the Free%, it is calculated from the total program memory on my TP2 of ~184MB. The max free I have is about 80MB and it goes down from there. So I never go above 50% (which only uses half the bar). It would be nice to set this value manually (to say 100). This way I could control the amount of stripe that is displayed... if that makes sense.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Nice with those mini-stripes!

You can set your own max value. By default it is 100. If you set the high value to 50, it will see 50% as max value and will recompute the length of the stripe relative between 0 and 50%. At least that was the intention, if I did not make a program error. You can try :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smuook:
Right again. Thanks for the help on this. I got it too just about where I want it. The background image, CPU%, Free Ram, and Battery are all aligned left... and it works perfect in landscape.

My only issue now is that I have a phone signal strength mini-stripe that needs to align right (while the other ones align left). This is to keep it above the phone signal icon when shifts to landscape. Any solution for this?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
that one is the same problem as in post 753. There you must await the next version. The next version it will also be possible to have vertical stripes (when the height (Y2-Y) is bigger than the width (X2-X))
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] smuook:
That sounds great. I look forward to it. Keep up the great work. ;)

Hi... is there a list of usable registry keys that can be monitored?

I've lost the original setting about how to monitor the network reception (3G/GSM).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
There is a whole list of the state broker registry keys in snapi.h.

See attachment.

Hope this helps.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tubgirl:
Wow! Pretty cool... thanks a lot! :)

You don't know if there's a registry key that tells the main speaker volume on the device? I was thinking about making the battclock area twice as big and since that would cover the speaker icon it would be pretty cool to see the speaker volume as a number instead. My phone is a HD2.

Brgds... /Tubgirl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
There is a registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Volume\Volume. It is 0 when Volume is disabled on my Touch Diamond.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tubgirl:
Thank you, it was the same on my HD2. Not quite sure what I can do with the information though... volume is hex 0-FFFFFFFF (0, 11111111, 22222222... etc). Maybe I can use the info to make a vertical bar in the future version you were talking about :)

How to change to "Time and Battery stripe" ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I am not sure I understand the question. There is a Battery stripe, but not a Time stripe. Can you elaborate what you want?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kapq:

and I want to install it, but I dont know how :)

Sorry for my english, I think you understood.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
You can go to the Stripes Settings screen.

Make sure you uncheck the "Stripe Enabled" for each stripe/bar.

You can go to the next stripe/bar by pressing the + of the first item.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] kapq:
Thanks :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Chaebi69:
Help please.

First, I wish to thank you for this awesome app. This is the last tweak that I need for my HTC HD2!

I am trying to change the clock's font color.

I've tried to find a way to change the clock's font color on the battconfig but I still can't figure it out. Do I need to "somehow" access the .ini file (or something similar, as I have no reliable knowledge of PPC yet) and change the code there? For example, 255,255,255 for white and 0,0,0 for black.

I did do these sort of things on rainmeter for desktop customizing so I'm wondering if it's similar. Off topic, I know. But please help :(

Oops, I figured it out by accident after pressing that number at Colors section. And this happened right after posting that message above. Thanks for the app again. <.< It's a bit shameful, haha.

Video Review of battclock check it out

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WH0TDkgWFIc
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Great, very nice :)

I have a question though. Will the settings of BattClock picked up in the program directory of BattClock? Or did you do something special or did you find a trick I was not aware of? Because normally BattClock will only gets its settings from the registry?

I am also planning to make a YouTube Video to show some possibilities. My current idea is just to show some user examples (Google search on BattClock pictures) and some examples from myself to show the flexibility of BattClock.

But first I want to finish a new version of BattClock. I already tested 3 weeks the Wifi/GSM monitor. Unfortunately, the last 2 weeks I did not have time to further develop it, so I hope I can start finishing it in the coming next 2 weeks. But no promises.

Thanks for making and sharing the video.

Stripe for WiFi

Hi ZuinigeRijder,

If these are 5 top rated 3rd party app for winmo, your BattClock is one of them.

It is practical, Very useful, trouble free, logical concept, etc, etc,

Just as an idea, is it possible to have a stripe for signal strength (Gain) of wireless network? like the one for phone signal?

Up to now, nobody has worked on it and the icon itself just show the "Connected" or "Disconnected" status, not the amount of signal gain.

Thanks for your great job.

Khosrow from Iran.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Hmmm, I am not in favour for that. The nice thing about the BattClock is that it does not change icons, it does only project the information above the icons.

This makes it unharmfull to install on your phone and it works for almost any Windows mobile phone. Also I want to keep BattClock small.

I made more settings available, so maybe that solves most of the problems.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I am still thinking of an elegant/smart solution. But an alternative list dependent on the foreground window could be an option. What are the foreground Windows named with or without Sense?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Yes, you should not put the wm time on the taskbar, use the battery. Do the same in landscape, because sometimes in landscape mode, the time is displayed instead of the battery gauge. At least with advanced config this can be configured. So then the sizes for the battery gauge are the same, so the relative positions are the same for portrait and landscape.

However, I also made separate settings for portrait and landscape possible in version 1.3, so you can have larger clock ;) or fix the longer length of the wm time in landscape :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Can you also post a screenshot without BattClock, so I can see what is behind :) Is it the wm time displayed? Maybe configuring the battery gauge will help. Otherwise just make the width larger.

You can change the background color so it better fits in your theme, but unfortunately transparant will not work.

I will put the font color to be yellow or red dependent on the battery status on the wish list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Strange. Can you try version 1.3?

If the problem persists, enable debug logging (logDebug=1), wait till the problem reappers, note the time 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] ZuinigeRijder:
Ok, I will add a reference to settings posted by people. Thanks for sharing.

Making the background transparent is not possible, I tried that a long time ago.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
The time resuming bug should be solved with version 1.3.

Hi ZuinigeRijder....

....Sorry if this has alreaady been suggested. How about the possibilities of making the clock and batt fonts individually configurable so that they could both be displayed in separate colours? Also I see a lot of folks have taskbars where the icons are in nice little boxes with rounded corners, I think it would look nice if BattClock could be displayed in a similar box, maybe the background image could be edited/replaced by the user and stored in the programs directory.:)

Hi, thanks fot your great app, I was waiting for something like that for a time...

v1.3 fixed the problem above, but now, I have an inconvenience, when plugging / unplugging the USB link to PC, BattClock v1.3 does not update the % / ~ symbol, as well as the v1.2 did.

doesn't work on WM Standard

HTC Snap wm6.5 standard. The app installs but refuses to work with the following message: Unable to find HH Taskbar.

ZuinigeRijder you may want to remove "Supports WM standard" from features so people don't get mislead. If I can be of any help with making the app work on WM Standard please let me know (like giving some registry values or else - I'm not an expert in this).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sxtheone:
same issue with my device. maybe the battery status should better be checked and updated more often. :) right now, it's like once per minute.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] letsgoflyers81:
Mine does the same thing. If I change orientation from portrait to landscape, or vice versa, it updates right away. I guess that forces BattClock to check the status immediately.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] BarrySumpter:
Yes, very sure.

Hi,

first of all, many thanks for this great application !!!

Then.....I need help: I set the background color to cyan (similar to the taskbar background), it worked at the beginning, after installing the application, then it stopped after a soft reset.

Now, whatever background color I choose, it appears for a second and then changes back to black (see screenshot): what am I doing wrong ?

The device is an HTC Blackstone with stock rom.

Thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Can you post your registry settings?

Go to About Settings screen, select Export and post the \BattClock.reg.txt in the root of your phone memory as zipped attachment.

Maybe that gives a clue :confused:
