I looked at the log file.

I see:

..

2010-12-22 17:54:42 -331879662 ======================== Change from screen OFF to screen ON ==============

So it looks like your phone was in a deep sleep for about 1 hour and than awakened. That means that in the meantime NO battery drain could be done because Windows Mobile CPU does not get CPU cycles (only from the RADIO signal then).

Thereafter I see once per minute:

2010-12-22 17:56:01 -331901798 Clock Time update

This is normal, because when the screen is on, you want updates of the time :)

I see also a lot of times after eachother:

2010-12-22 17:58:11 -331901798 InvalidateStripeValue(): BATT

2010-12-22 17:58:11 -331901798 InvalidateStripeValue(): 87

2010-12-22 17:58:11 1841950686 InvalidateStripe(): 1

This I would not expect. It should only do that when the Battery percentage does change :eek:

This goes on till:

2010-12-22 18:01:25 1841950686 SETTINGS_CHANGED_REQUEST

Apparently you changed the settings via BattConfig.

Then it goes again in a deep sleep:

2010-12-22 18:05:09 -331879662 ========================POWER_STATE_SUSPEND==========================

And it awakes again 1 hour later:

010-12-22 19:03:46 -331879662 ==============================PBT_RESUME===============================

So I have to look into my code to explain that. A question: was the phone on a charger :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I do not know how WifiFoFum detect the Wifi Signal Strength. I use a NDISUIO Query

OID_802_11_RSSI

I just return the values unfiltered, so I do not know what to trust. The driver or WifiFofum :cool: I do not have source code for WifiFofum, so I cannot tell which one is better ;)

The Wifi Signal Strength Percentage is another story. Background you can find in this article.

I experimented with the Conversion for Cisco table on page 9. However, using my Router I only for a range between -35 dBm and -91 dBm. Also my Diamond built in Wifi signal value percentage did not match with the percentage according to that table. So I decided to just have the limits betwwn -96 dBm (0%) and -30 dBm (100%). This better matches the values shown in the built in Wifi signal %, but still not exactly the same.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcmm:
Hello,

I had the phone charging the battery was only. There are two cycles of 1 hour, then took the test 2 times.

I hope I can say something about the deficiencies noted, in case you have to do with the higher consumption of the battery.

Greetings and thanks,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I think the Wifi counters by the network driver will only be reset per reboot. So the session looks like till soft reboot :confused:

Indeed it does only reset the totals, I cannot reset the values in the network driver ;)

I will look into this one. I have seen this also, but did not dive into this one yet :(
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Ok, I log file without charging for some time with display off will help too. Because when on the charger, I always update the battery info.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
I think -30 dBm for 100% Signal is OK.

I have to go closer than 1,5 meters to the router to get lower values and strait to the antenna to get -10 ...

On my device i am not able to get close to 0% - mine is cutting off the connection at -90dbm (around four walls between HD2 and Router)

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
:o i thought this values are created by BattClock :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jrmstl:
Hi, the lastest version of BattClock works fine, mostly for the WiFi and Mobile counters (the previous version had problems with WiFi at least).

Here is my own layout, very simple though:

And the details:

- top-left bar: WiFi signal strength % (new w/ v3.2, let me know whenever WiFi is on or not)

- top-right bar: GPS signal strength %

Right part with numerical values, from top to bottom then left to right :

- top-left: time (did you guess ? ^^)

- top-right: current battery charge %

- bottom-left: mobile connection speed data in Kb per second

- bottom-right: total amount of data from mobile connection (as my *unlimited* connection is limited to 500 Mb every month) - customed in Mb: initial value in Kb divided by 1000 and label redefined.

I've made BattClock overlay phone connectivity, sound and battery icons as I don't need either. Background is fixed to black to suit right while the device is not locked.

I don't care having numbers for WiFi connection as it is not limited, whatever way is used to get it (private WiFi box or public hotspots).

I still can see the bluetooth or WiFi connection icons, as it is sometimes useful to know that no WiFi spot is found or if Bluetooth is not connected because not visible (even if it should stay on at every time, it does not).

Very basic.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Thanks for sharing. Nice screenshot.

You are talking about: GPS signal strength %

That means you configured a registry key which shows this %? Or did you mean the Phone strength?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Jrmstl:
I meant the phone signal strength of course. I was not clear, sorry.

As for me a phone is a GPS device, but I do know that it is not so simple though. ;)

Oh, I have a question for you, please : is it possible to run multiple instances of BattClock (with several different installations of the same application, for example one in device internal storage and another one in a memory card storage) ?

I'm currently asking this because of some of your example screenshots in the first post, that seem to show *several* different zones of display related to BattClock : the 4th and 6th one. Each of these ones have a BattClock display area on the left side of the taskbar, *and* another BattClock display area at the right side (battery fillup % overlayed onto "native" battery icon).

I would be interested in reproducing such a result with different values to display.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I have that on the wish list. While developing I had the choice to make one area of several areas. The latter one is much more hassle to configure. So I took the more user friendly configuration. Otherwise you have to specify for each area the exact loacation. Of course this is more flexible. I will think about an option to have both possible, so for advanced users they can specify more areas.

In the meantime, you can use the combination of BattClock and TouchLockPro (also made by me). Just disable all the sensors and locking possibilities of TouchLockPro and you have already 2 areas :rolleyes: Also this one is small and efficient. Only the features enabled are executed ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] memetonur:
thanx for this great app...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
If you really want to do this step (Cool BattClock 4.0 :D),

i think you have to make for every area an own entry in battconfig.

For example in first screen in main config you can choose at an dropdown menu "i want to have 3 separate areas".

Then after choosing, in the config appears 3 separate lines/entry's, each separate configurable for its own.

So you leave mostly everything as it is like now (with rows/colums for every area), and run only multiple instances of Battclock.

I think this is the easiest way to realize this, or?

(without making an complete new UI) ;)

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I think easier would for me that in the following screen:

I add an extra configuration item, area 1..6, like you configure the stripes. I will think about it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
For the position this will be ok, but whats about the content/fonts/colors?

I think it will be going confusing if you allow for example lets say 3 areas with an maximum of 12 entries = 36 entries in total for the above named.

this would going inextricable? :confused:

never mind - i am just thinking loud ;)

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
You first define the content and colors and such, and later you decide which parts are in which area (counting from the top). So the rows/colors keeps important, because that decides how much content data is displayed in a particular area. If I want to extent the number of content items, I need to think about ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Not an easy Task, if you decide to do this step.

Its an big (but wishful) change for BattClock.

Thanks for your effort.

Update of translations

If people can provide me of an update of translations (for the added Wifi Packets and Wifi Signal Strength), I would be grateful. So I can embed them in a last update, before I start with further improvements.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Here you are :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
The italian version is already updated isn't it? I can't see any "gaps" in the xls sent by Toki.

Anyway, the italian for "wifi packets" is "pacchetti WiFi" and for "wifi signal strength" is "qualità segnale WiFi" :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
The columns 108-115 is empty @ Italian language... ;)

Is your HD2 dead? (Sig)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
yup, I have no HD2 at the moment, and no idea when I'll get hold of it again; can't really use it without a working touchscreen can you ;) (:()

Anyway, is it too much if I ask you the favour of pasting in here those 8 lines so I can translate them inside this thread? :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
If you are used to your phone you cannot miss it anymore :(

From your help, I think the translations for Itialian would be like:

[FONT="Courier New"]
Wifi Packets Pacchetti WiFi
Wifi Packets Received Pacchetti WiFi ricevuti
Wifi Packets Received Total Pacchetti WiFi ricevuti totali
Wifi Packets Sent Pacchetti WiFi inviati
Wifi Packets Sent Total Pacchetti WiFi inviati totali
Wifi Packets Total Pacchetti WiFi totali
Wifi Signal Strength Qualità segnale WiFi
Wifi Signal Strength % % Qualità segnale WiFi[/FONT]
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
eheh exactly, you got it 100% ;)

I would just say "Qualità % segnale WiFi"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I have enabled logging myself and only showed time and battery %. I found a thing which might be important for people. When debug logging on my memory card, the phone did not go into a deep sleep :eek: However, when done on the Phone memory, it did go into a deep sleep. Looks like the writing to the memory card, the phone prevents from going into a deep sleep. As already more often mentioned here, it is better to install programs in the phone memory. This proves it again.

I could slightly improve the battery usage, not to poll the battery driver when I get a PBT_RESUME. But porbably you would not notice the difference.

I will post this improvement in the next update.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcmm:
Hello,

I always install these programs on the device memory, not on the memory card to avoid problems and higher energy consumption. The BattClock is always installed in the device memory.

If you can further optimize the battery consumption of your program ... better. Thanks.

Regards,

Layout and "Wishlist"

Hallo,

I am using BattClock now for a few weeks, and it works really good. But I can't keep up with the speed of updates :).

As requested in Post #1, here my layout.

I have one question: since I have updated to version 3.2, the battery bar is changing the colors while connected to the PC (Red-Yellow-Green).

Is this a bug or a feature? (and can I switch this blinking of?)

Nevertheless, there is also a little bit on the wishlist...(just as inspiration).

- separate info areas, which can be postioned free (has already been discussed in this thread)

- Color changing of text items according to (individual) threshold level

(If you look in the attached screenshot -- I would like to apply this to the signal strength of Tel Signal and Wifi)

I am using an HD2, with 3.14 GER StockROM (& CHT2.0).

Hugo the JungleDyret
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Nice Screenshot! :cool:

The blinking is a feature :p - It indicates that the phone charges.

When in gradient color it blinks between black an colored bar. without gradiation its blinking like you mentioned.

But this should also appear on older versions... :confused: and you cant disable this (atm).

Why do you set Max MEM to 50 MB ? HD2 has after booting around 220MB free :confused:

Greetz Tokl

P.S: Is the "Blinking" Frequency on your device constant, or sometimes faster/slower?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Depends this only to DebugLog or also to normal Logging feature?

(I dont use Logging, so i did not checked if the logging is interrupted by the deepsleep :rolleyes: )

If so, an small hint when people activate logging, it should be logged to the device memory - will be useful for this users.

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] hugojungle:
@Tokl

thanks for the quick reply.

For the blinking: Before I had gradient color, but by updating to 3.2 I have also played around and changed to Threshold colors. So, correct observation, but related to the wrong root cause.

And yes, I have the feeling, that the yellow stays longer than red and green.

About the memory... The bar shows free memory in % (sorry, I didn't point this out clearly). When I have a reboot of my device, or after CleanTemp/ClearRAM, I have a maximum availalbe of 58%. That's ok, but I wanted to reflect this also on the bar.

Requested for long: 6 separate Configurable BattClock areas

[APP] [Updated 29-12-2010] BattClock version 3.3 *NEW* 6 separate BattClock areas

# Added possibility to have 6 separate BattClock areas, so you have more control over where to position info

It appeared to be less work than expected. I could easily add 6 separate BattClockInfo areas. The trick is in the Location Settings screen:

You can specify the locations of BattClock Areas 1 till 6. Just press the + and - to switch to the next/previous battClock area. Note that you can enable/disable BattClocak Area 2 till 6, BattClock Area 1 is always enabled.

Enabled (AreaEnabled = 1 decimal)..Area6Enabled

By default only BattClock Area 1 is enabled.

I am sure people can make use of this new feature. Screenshots are appreciated!

Sorry for postiing so much updates in a short time :D I had some time to between Christmas and New Year :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] jcmm:
Hello ZuinigeRijder,

Again, thank you very much for your excellent work and your dedication to all of us with the software. BattClock getting better thanks to your dedication. :D

Farewell Happy 2010 and that 2011 is better for you and for us all. :D

Regards,
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
lol, you for real? ;)

I regret I'm separated from my HD2 so I cannot try your new version, and I am assailed by the temptation of buying a galaxy tab to use it as a single multipurpose mobile device, phone included :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] vadim_bogaiskov:
Hi, ZuinigeRijder!

There is updated Russian transaltion for v.3.3

Happy New Year! Good luck!!! :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] danusko:
ZuinigeRijder i have to only say. You ROCKS !!! :)

Yesterday i figured out, that only think what i need in your app is separately areas.

Now i look at my subscribtions and, there is a new update ..so i look to your log and

...fantastic...exactly what i needed. :)

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR THIS GREAT APP.

p.s. maybe little whish. Maybe will be halpfull, if in content screen will be the rows (areas) marked. Maybe something like "area 1", "area 2" ...or maybe only numbers....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
So you can move BattClock to an unused space :p

You can even put it above the Windows Start Image :eek:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Odjavel:
I had this thought at the beginning, but afterward the principle of BattClock seemed to me healthier than a modification of the interface of WM which could be heavier and more risked. BattClock occupies only 1K in memory, is not intrusive, maybe deactivated and reactivated immediately, without soft reset or any other heavy operation as would have probably required a replacement of the native battery of WM.

Now I wait impatiently for 1.5 :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Long awaited BattClock version 1.5

Here it is, the long awaited BattClock version 1.5 :)

Hmmm, version 1.4 was only 5 days old, so it cannot be a long wait :D

Major improvements though!

- Separate BattConfig program

- Possibility to show info in 3 lines (if you have good eyes)

- Also Free memory percentage can now be shown

- And a background image can be chosen, for the people wanting to integrate it with their look and feel

- And some small optimizations, to even use less battery by BattClock itself

Post your settings and screenshots, I am interested (and I hope others too) with the creativity of people, so others can learn from it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Odjavel:
Very great improvements

Wow, you worked very hard man, that looks very good, it rocks !

Tested the config program, when settings are modified it takes effects immediately ! So it allow to adjust the position very precisely and quickly.

I have just an issue, when going in the about screen, then pressing back, the settings are lost and emptied ! But the option to reset defaults saves me. Perhaps a function for export / import settings could be a good thing, in the case of a hard reset for example.

With 5 days between the last 2 versions, 3 versions in 7 days, 9 days since 1.2 (correct me if I'm wrong), what a productivity and what a beautiful evolution ! You said you need to earn money too, but where do you find time for this ? :D

EDIT : I was not a plaintiff of this but I recognize that having the information about the free memory in real time is rather practical ; I also noted that when I start my device, before typing my pin code, while BattClock is visible, I have 60% free, then it decrease to 33% after the end of the loading process of the WM interface (and HTC Sense)... :eek:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] uniqueboy:
Very impressive, Thanks for the quality update....

....Is it possible to show memory in mb instead of %? :)

You might have to change the name of the app to BattClockMem now....bit of a mouthful.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barty22:
Thanks a lot zuinigerijder, looks like a keeper :)

I can't find battconfig anywhere though, not on my device (installed 1.5 cab) and neither on your website.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Odjavel:
It is not installed by the cab, download BattConfig.1.5.exe, here : http://www.zuinigerijder.com/BattClock.html#6

Personnaly, I have copied it in the program folder, and made myself shortcuts in my start menu to it and BattClock.exe, in a subfolder. I will often click on it ! ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barty22:
Ohh there it is, must have overlooked it. Thanks!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barty22:
The config app is faaaaaaaar from finger friendly but frankly I couldn't care less :p

One problem, changing the text color only changes the color of the clock on top, and not of the battery percentage?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sjc2000e:
much appreciated

much appreciated
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Odjavel:
Battery and memory colours are influenced by their percentage and the values defined in the "LMH" fields at the bottom. Text colour is for free values like the clock, not submitted by percentage, I assume.

I assume too that making a finger friendly config tool would take more than 5 days, I am very impressed by the work supplied by the author. The colours setting screens notabily.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barty22:
Thanks Odjavel, that worked, guess I'm trying to rush things a bit tonight :p

I just jumped on the bandwagon of this app, so I didn't realize the config tool is new. Anyway all in all it's a keeper, it works nicely, looks nice and most of all it's useful :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Odjavel:
I discovered this app this week, it was matching something I was searching for my device, so I was interested by it... And liked to discuss about it, and found that the author is very productive and opened, for this moment, so I have consideration that he does it at his free time, probably because he is a passionate person... But need to earn money like everybody, so it could be the end of the development of this app, at any time, for a time... ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Loomer:
Many thanks for this software.

In my Samsung Omnia II free memory shows incorrectly (fre RAM = 60 mb, this software indicates 44 mb).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sxtheone:
Currently, from what I see, free memory is shown in percetage.

however, I'd like to suggest an option to show the actual amount of free program memory in terms of MB (one decimal place would be good enough :D)

A friend of mine is using an Acer neotouch, the phone has a built-in utility which can initiate an auto restart if RAM level goes down below 20MB. I'm sure he would love this great app. :cool:

thanks for your great efforts, zuinigerijder. ;)

well, on second thought, I think that an int for free RAM would be just fine.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Loomer:
Yes, please, this option will be good!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sxtheone:
Thank you for seconding me, :)

and Zuinigerijder is the developer and contributor, all credits go to him. :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] henrik.dk:
This is really awesome.

While removing the microsoft start icon, is that possible to remove the "start"

text on the title bar? Thank you.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Hansi321:
Thanks for the great app! It's not very stylish but now I'm able to see the infos I've missed for a long time in the toolbar. :):):)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] human75:
hi there.thanks for very nice application.i have question.how can i acccess the settings user interface?i saw in screenshot there is gui for settings but i couldt find it.thanks
