Fixes on version 3.0.3. Thanks for reporting problems

Testing was going quicker than anticipated.

New version 3.0.4 available:

[APP] [Updated 20-9-2010] BattClock version 3.0.4 *NEW* Wifi/Mobile internet monitor and many other improvements

# Fixed problem that Uptime/Display On was not updated correctly, because the power transition notification was forgotten.

# Fixed problem that switching from Landscape to Portrait was not working

# Fixed problem that vertical (gradient) stripes were not drawn correctly

# Update of CPU% and Free Memory back to once per second

# Switch to float mode, when "Divide By" is not set to 1. Note that the registry key has been changed, to reflect this change. So people using this feature must redo the setting. Note that when you divide, you must also specify a float format (%f).

# Included NetRipper's CPU Frequency dll's also in the zip file (In 3.0.3 they were only available in the CAB)

# Updated German translations (thanks to Tokl)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Forever022:
Forgot to add another suggestion for possible future releases....

instead of having both lansdcape and portrait settings to be the same... if they could be configured seperatly... that way whichever orientation we have it, the program would be working flawlessly..

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Nice screenshot. Indeed it helps people if they just can download BattClock.reg.txt of their choice and import them with BattClock. That will give people a quickstart.

Of course the resolution of the screen is important then and the Windows Mobile version. Maybe just opening a new thread, solely for providing screenshots, phone info and BattClock.reg.txt examples. So all is together :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Actually, that is already possible. When you start BattConfig in Landscape, it will change only the landscape settings!

See here:

Note that with BattConfig you can configure the settings for Portrait and Landscape. For configuring Landscape, make sure your phone is in Landscape orientation and start BattConfig. The Landscape settings are then adapted (and you see the BattClock changing appropriate).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jackos:
I want to report that the problem with landscape has gone. Nice work!

Definitely a "must" for Windows Mobile.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Yep,

-Landscape/Portrait Bug is solved :)

-Vertical stripes working (even with 10% breaks! ;) )

-CPU% reacts fast again :D

-Translation in Ger have now RTM status :p:cool:

Thanks and Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Forever022:
I've Tried to configured for Landscape by starting battconfig in landscape, but doesnt work .

I changed the values, but once the phone was moved to portrait, the portrait settings were corrupted, everything showing where they are not suposed to.

Is it only the clock that can be configured for landscape and portrait?

I was trying to configure the stripes separatly, and also in landscape to have 1 Row, and in portrait to have 2 rows....

is it possible ?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Hi,

you did use the new 3.0.4 version?

For me its now working again switching between Landscape/Portrait without issues.

But im using same locations for Landscape and Portrait...

Maybe you can post an screenshot from your settings with the issue on screen,

so i can see what you are meaning.

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
This is only related to the position of Stripes/Text not to the contend.

So no, (at the moment) its not possible to have one Row in Landscape and 2 Rows in Portrait or showing an stripe only in one orientation.

Maybe ZuinigeRijder will add this to the wishlist :)

Stripe

How to remove green stripe in screen top.

After BattClock installation I see 2 stripes. I can remove only 1 stripe:(.

Oh, I forgot configure all stripes to emphty
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Another (small) thing i noticed is:

(i am think i seen this flashing/blinking in older versions of BC also)

This only happens while Sense is showing the Weather Animation and an an stripe is actualizing (sometimes i see this with other "CPU intensive" Programs too).

The CPU% is good for showing this, because i will see it every second:

I can follow exactly what BC is doing:

1. fill out the full line (100% stripe)

2. cut off the % what is too much (example left 50% stripe)

3. cut off the 10% breaks

Gradation/Solid Color and horizontal/vertical doesn't matter...

this is also happening with textual content when one value is actualizing, but it looks not so strange...

so my question (maybe to avoid this) is:

1. why not actualize only the pixels more/less as the last value on screen, instead of actualizing the whole stripe?

or if its needed to draw the whole stripe new

2. make the cut off part not visible on screen and only draw the end result directly to screen (maybe calculate in background and draw once, or so)

I think drawing an stripe at once would also be a little resource friendlier than drawing 3 times for one stripe ;)

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
To have a gradient drawn like you wanted ;) I have to wipe it out.

To avoid the flickering I need to implement win32 double buffering. I will look into that one.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
hmm, i dont want to make you too much effort! :o:o

If this is to complicated, please feel free to ignore my post.

Bug Report V3.04

hi I use % for battery power, and %~ for battery on power, this worked fine in 3.03 but it does not seem to change in 3.04
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sxtheone:
Nice.:D

But, could the update of Wifi KBits Per Second/Mobile KBits Per Second

be set to once per second

as well? because it seems to take a few seconds to update them.

Thanks.;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
At least I can try, to see what is the effect (also in memory consumption). So something to learn ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Did you try %d%%~

Because % needs to be escaped with an extra %
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I do not want to influence/stress the adapters too much, so I leave it as is. Probably there are good web-based speedtests enough :cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TonyPants:
null post.............
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TonyPants:
yes that is how I use it in 3.03 and it works fine ;) but in 3.04 it does not work
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Ok, I see what is wrong. I tried myself. When on power it does not update immediately. When I stop/start BattClock it shows the configured format.

So Indeed a bug. It should react immediately. I will look into it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wagierek:
I repeat my question: Will it be okay if I add this to XDA Market?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I am not so familiar with XDA Market. Will they still be willing to donate :rolleyes:

What advantages has it? Is it popular? Have others experiences with it? Will they still find the support pages and sourceforge help pages?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I have a double buffer test version. I cannot see the flickering in the first place (fast Diamond ;), so maybe you can test and if you see difference.

See attachment. Just unzip and copy battclock.exe over your version on your phone.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Tested... and :D WOW

no more flickering in 3.0.5 version :):):)

Its amazing how fast you solve this!!!

btw, did not test if there are differences on needed ressurces, but seems not to much!

between 0.00% and 0.59% CPU (at 768mhz) and an footstep of 8K in mem Great :D

EDIT:

Older 3.0.4 is using also 8K and using permanently 0.39% to 0.49%, so maybe the new version jumps a little bit more in Taskmanager but seems to use a little less average CPU Load (with same settings) :cool::cool::cool:

1000 Thanks, Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Wagierek:
ZuinigeRijder, XDA Market is not popular, but only we can change it! Only we can add more and more and more apps, so it will be more and more popular! Idea is great, but it need our help. We have to add so much apps, so that will be popular and almost every user of WM phone would use it. Isn't that vision preety?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
you probably wanted to say "footprint" ;)

Anyway, even if I'm on 3.03 atm, as I'm lazy to continually update (And I should, since 3.04 has full float support), I do like very much the way this is coming out!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Probably you are also interested in:

* Fixed problem that Uptime/Display On was not updated correctly, because the power transition notification was forgotten.

So you know how long the display was on and how long the uptime was since starting BattClock.

And yes, 3.0.5 is there.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
[21-9-2010] BattClock 3.0.5 *NEW* Wifi/Mobile internet monitor and more

# Fixed problem changes were not reflected immediately (when settings changed or battery on power/on battery switch)

# Implemented double buffering to prevent flickering and more smooth updates

Hope not many more bugs will be found :eek:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] pupakota:
well, when pda's were on good way, there were sites with good software.

freewareppc.com

pocketpcfreeware.com

and now, when pda's are dead every single site filled with bs has "market" in name.

what's funny, that everyone earns cash even on freeware, shame, that's usually not applicable for....programmers.

you may skip that post.

ZuinigeRijder, congratz on new version..
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Foot...? Foot...! Hmm, i think i can eat that, no wait - it was Food :D:D:D

I have an little excuse: its not my native language... :p

But still get a little better every day (hope so) ;)

Yeah, its amazing what possibilities are given with BattClock!

Im sure i use less than 5% of all functions what we have,

but i am very Happy with it ;) nearby everything is now possible!

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] TonyPants:
Thanks you so much for this super and powerful little app!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
do you use the hklm\system\uptime\active reg key for that, or internal battclock routines?

Regarding the uptime, I'd still prefer to use the reg key, as the "clocksession" value is only reset when you physically remove the battery, while I think battclock resets the uptime after a reboot isn't it (same as "clock" value)

Anyway, installing 3.0.5 right away :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
This is sadly true,

i tried Omarket and Marketplace on WM, i tried Android Market.

they all where looking for cash or earn cash with advertising.

On the one side its ok, they try to survive, on the other side did we need more markets???

I like the name "XDA Market" but thats all.

For me the real Market is here on XDA or Freewarepages like you mentioned!

But maybe WM is not dead :) ,

there are rumors that M$ will implement all WM6.X functions later in WP7 - maybe its called WP8?

So they can take care of their business customers - and people like we,

who want to be free of choice and not "have to use" an market and sitting with handcuffs in front of their devices .

But this is another Topic...

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I think XDA developers itself is already the place to look for great software and to learn a lot. Yet another site will not make it better. Often even worse, because updates are not so fast as over here and the lacking of documentation. And I see at other download sites sometimes comments I cannot do much about. Here are some examples of:

http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-battclock.html

the line at the tophas to go.... till then im uninstalling it... htchd2

wÃ¤re einer der besten apps wenn der seltsame balken am oberen bildschirm rand nicht wÃ¤re

So it is sometimes difficult to have an easy - out-of-the-box app without much help than only downloading. Maybe a wizard should be started at first use :confused:

But you may add it on XDA Market, other sites do the same. This is life. Hope you refer to this site and http://touchlockpro.sourceforge.net/BattClock.html
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Indeed I use the internal battclock routines. But I thought how long the display was on, how long talk time is a nice statistic thing ;-)

Of course I could make it that it survives soft reset and restarts, but then you have to clear it too. Now that is done automatically :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rjmjr69:
There is a solution to show free ram status always on bar. Ill send in pm if you wish.

Its cab install that shows a rainbow colored line at the edge of the task bar at the very top and under start uses very little ram 1k

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] rjmjr69:
so that just adds the battery level to the top of the task manager? wheres the clock
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sxtheone:
thank you, rjmjr69. :)

I had this cab, yeah, it features a colorful and horizontal line along the bottom (or the top) of task bar, indicating changes in free memory by changing length of the line. It's very intuitive, but I have to say, not as precise as numbers, :) actually I always prefer accurate numerical values over bar/line indicators when it comes to system status like battery level, free program memory, signal strength... :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] toadlife:
I have the clock part disabled because I only wanted the battery level. I forgot to add that reg settings. I'll go back and edit my post.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I am working on BattClock 1.5, which should add some of the requested features, which were already on the wish/todo list.

Separate BattClock Config program

font color to be yellow or red dependent on the battery status

Add option to see free memory and option to show info divided in 3 lines

Add icon possibility as background and draw info on top of it, good for people having not a solid color or nicer looking icon alike

First of all a separate BattClockConfig program. Although using a registry editor is for many people good enough (especially XDA users ;)), this config program is a must.

Then a new possibility, to also be able to have an image as background (the image is drawn first inside the BattClock area), where the BattClock text is overdrawn on. That should give people the possibility to have a good looking BattClock, integrating in their theme. They can make a background matching their theme, exactly the size of the configured BattClock area. I am very interested in the results, when that feature is available. Because I saw already some nice postings and ideas with the current 1.4 version. So some creative people will definitely come with unusual ideas :eek:

Making the battery percentage font color configurable dependent of low, medium, high value. So e.g. you can a green battery percentage if there is enough battery is left, an orange/yellow one and red one. The default will not use these though.

I am looking into adding a third line and also the possibility of displaying free memory.

Some small adaptions to save a very small amount of battery (use resources as efficient as possible), probably you cannot measure it:

Do not update clock and battery content with screen off and when no power plugged in (the latter because you can still use it with MyMobiler with screen off and power on)

Do not get the latest information from the battery device driver, but use cached information that may be out-of-date by several seconds.

When an PBT_POWERINFOCHANGE battery percentage update is notified, also reset the polling time to 3 minutes, to avoid getting extra battery info

But be patient, I do this in my free time and still have to work (and earn money) too ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I started at XDA. But the number of images in a page is limited. And the images need to be hosted on a site. I got the website and domain donated for the first year, but there I also have limited bandwidth/storage capacity. This year I only need to pay for the domain and I get the website hosting still free. Thanks to Mr_Q.

The problem was that a lot of site were referring my image and that one was rather big. I changed that one into a smaller one, and that seems to help. So in general I think it should not be a problem.

In 1.5 a Config program is planned (see previous post)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
See this post. Rather strange that HHTaskBar is not available on your phone. Do you also have Standard edition?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tubgirl:
Hello

I just wonder why v1.3 & 1.4 takes more than 7 seconds to launch while v1.2 took less than a second? Is it possible to make a "light" version of BattClock based on v1.2 fixing the only present bug it had which was the time not updating after suspend? That would make it a perfect simple little program with only the most important settings available.

There's nothing wrong with adding more features to BattClock but maybe for some v1.2 was all they needed (exept for the suspend update bug). For me v1.2 was perfect.

If you could do that it would be awesome!! :)

Brgds... /TubGirl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] elmalote:
Thanks a lot, works beautifully in the new version!! :D

I can't find the setting in Advanced Config though...

I just found another glitch, in lockscreen if you have code activated the WM clocks two first digits are shown. Any possibility to make a reg entry for lock screen too..? :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Maedhros:
Thanks great updates!

Can't wait till 1.5. When you make the interface for modification of battclock, will the battclock display move AS you adjust the values? Or will you have to restart it for it to work?

Clicked a few adds to show my appriciation :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Odjavel:
Hi, if you make a config tool for BattClock, could you include a setting to define the delay to sound the battery ; so each one could adapt it according to the consumption of his device?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ryaske:
uninstall?

hello,

i have tried battclock but i did not realize it uses an opaque overlay. My start bar is not a solid color, and therefore this program cannot work for me.

HOW DOES ONE UNINSTALL IT? it is not listed in windows mobile "remove programs". Being the dummy I am, I know no other way to shut it off and remove it completely. Any ideas??

Thank you in advance,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I added a startup delay, because I though that would maybe the problem for people having Windows Mobile Standard and no HHTaskBar. But that did not solve the problem for those people. So I will remove the delay again.

I always have performance and efficiency in mind. So if I add features, I just make sure it will not cost efficiency when someone is not using that feature. Actually, I keep refactoring, and that also makes it more efficient than previous versions. In upcoming version 1.5 I did some improvements, so it is even more efficient than version 1.2. But be patient :confused:

The BattClock Config program will be a separate program, written in C# and dependent of .NET Framework 2.0 (or higher). The nice design I have is, that communication goes via the registry settings, so I can keep the BattClock small and efficient in C++ and do the UI config stuff in a nicer development environment in C#. So people can choose to use the registry or use the Config program. I am planning to make a separate download for it and without installation needs, just copy it to some place on your phone and run it. When done and no longer needed, just remove it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Hmmm, than I should detect the phone is locked by WM lock. I do not know if that is easily detectable. Anyone knowing how to detect that WM lock is active :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
yes, the BattClock Config settings changes will be immediately reflected in the BattClock. I used this approach already in TouchLockPro, communicating via the registry and reacting on changes. Although moving the BattClock is a bit slow, because the settings have to be reread, but does its job.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
It should be shown in Remove Programs as "Zuinige Rijder BattClock".

Is that not shown in the list? Because it would be strange if it was not showing up.

During the installation, in the startup folder a link to BattCLock is made, so it will autostart when your phone is booted. You can remove this link to avoid BattClock to be started. But as said, I would expect you can just uninstall via the above method.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mahender:
this app is cool, thankyou very much.

as posted earlier it is advised to go into start settings etc and disable the clock on all screens.

please could you tell me what the reg values are to change colours.

i would like the foreground text in either yellow or red please but i dont know what the corresponding values should be.

thanks in advance.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Here the color registry values are described.

Note that normally you find RGB, but Windows uses internally BGR.

You can compute the BGR value as follows:

BGR value = (blue * 65536) + (green * 256) + red

So if you want red, it will be 255 (blue and green are 0 then).

Here is an online BGR calculator.

RGB lookup tables for colors, e.g. yellow you can find on internet easily ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mahender:
thanks very much will have a nosey now.

mahender

sorted thanks alot.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
Yes, in fact talk time is not among values in the registry... not that I could find anyway ;)

Yet I am sad about being the bearer of new... maybe not bugs, but "weak spots" :p

- I tried choosing a backgorund image, from inside \Windows\ (it's the same image CHT uses to set the top bar background) but opening the windows folder in the dialogue took forever, and in the end I had to cancel, but the device was unresponsive anyway, until if finished, and the cancel I pressed before kicked in bringing me back

- the configuration apps seems very "resilient": pressing home button won't bring you back to home, it's always on top; if the device for any reason gets locked, battconfig is still on top of S2U2 :D; also, if you want to change the value of the registr key string in the formats section, and you open the software keyboard, the keyboard overlays the dialog which gets covered, and you have to type "by faith" ;)

You already explained that you chose not to make the battconfig scrollable but developed it to fit all inside one screen, yet maybe scrollable would be easier on the user ;)
