This is dependent on your Battery Driver. Apparently your battery driver does not provide this information. So then I cannot query for that. Probably other Omnia II users have the same problem. I do not know if there is another battery driver for the Omnia II who gives back this info. Maybe other Omnia II users can react?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] basildon:
I know more then 10 users Omnia II in the Czech Rep., everybody have same problem with temp, volts in the battery. I think, Omnia have different battery driver! We have same problem with app. SpoonCharge! :confused:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I think I can not do much about it.

I just use the Microsoft API: GetSystemPowerStatusEx2

Apparently a lazy battery driver implmentation for the Omnia II :o
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] basildon:
Maybe any developer who know Samsung API fix this!

I think Samsung maybe used theirs customized battery driver! :mad:

Everything in the BattClock is OK, only don´t show temp,volts in the battery.

Thx for your answers
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I will have a look into the Samsung API, because I also support this for the sensors in TouchLockPro. But I cannot remember anything about battery.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Too bad, Samsung API is not talking about this.

http://www.samsung-omnia.org/general-samsung-omnia-discussions/thermometer-for-i900/

says you can show the current temp by sending a code. If that works, there must be a way to get this too programmaticaly. But then someone needs to reverse engineer this.

Being it as silly as you want it to be, since I was one of the people who asked this feature at first... but today is the very first time that I used the logging capabilities of battclock :D

And it is superb, the only thing I would add, because I feel it's really a needed option, is to set the interval at which the values get added to the log, since otherwise the logging would get pretty big, maybe make it a multiple of the normal logging frequency.

An option to set the max size after which either older values are removed, or newer ones are not logged anymore, or maybe a "timeout" function like "start today at 4:50pm and stop after 3 days at 12am, update log every 3secs" is even better... yet the most useful option in my opinion would be to be able to change the log update frequency ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] s2007:
I download only this http://sourceforge.net/projects/touchlockpro/files/BattClock/BattClock.2.1.2.CAB/download

But if I install I have more then clock and time :( But I need only clock and time. I try config but is not clear for me how remove all besides clock and time. Please help me
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GLO:
Just go into Battclock config and untick 'line' in all of them, then only leave what you want in.

Find more info on configuration here. http://touchlockpro.sourceforge.net/BSettings.html#4.1

ZuinigeRijder, please read pm
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Currently I only log the values if one of the values you want to log has been changed. But I can imagine you would like to restrict the log further with a maximum update frequency on top of that. I will put this on the wish list.

The weak point, currently, is indeed the log files can grow and that is a problem, because they are written on the phone memory. When writing to the SD card, this is less a problem. So I am considering to put the log file in the same folder as where BattClock is installed (You can then install BattClock just on the SD card). Another option would be to make the location configurable. It would maybe a good idea to make also a new log file each time BattClock is started. Although that is maybe less a problem when it writes the info on the SD card.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I will think about adding an average battery consumption. Probably this means just adding an average of every time I measure it. The difficulty is what to do when the phone is really asleep. But I will think about an algorithm with battery percentage as input.

A good idea to also add the possibility to log the active foreground window. I will put it on the wish list.

This application is really one of the most practical, effective, and necessary to bring a mobile devices for daily monitoring... :):):)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
I'm all for this one ;)

Installing applications on the internal memory is the main reason I favour "clean" custom roms that leave the most free internal space as possible, and IMO especially for "core" applications like battclock it's probably better to have them in internal memory anyway. There isn't even the need to make the configuration dialogue very complex, a simple "Save to storage card" checkbox should be sufficient, if uncked the csv file is saved under "\", otherwise it goes to "\Storage Card\" ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ralpheboyo:
+1....makes perfect sense....:)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
The problem is that I cannot use "\Storage Card", because on my Dutch phone it is "\Internal Memory". So I think I keep it simple, just use the top directory where the program is installed. When installed on internal memory, this will go automatically to the right location. And maybe people do not have internal memory , BattClock also works on very old phones :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
ok then, here's the counterproposal from one of the "battclock in internal memory, logfile on storagecard" enthusiasts ;)

All is thought to avoid any unnecessary coding on your part, but also to maximize the function for users; you still don't need to add a file dialogue to choose the folder, yet a simple text input field could suffice: if left blank the log will be saved to the root of the install location, as you said, otherwise if it's filled, anyone can type in the path to where he wants the log to be saved into, for example I would put \Storage Card\ in there :)

@ZuinigeRijder:....what you think:

.... i listen to a lot of music and was wondering if you could implement a feature for "low battery"....ie have an option to link it to any alert sound file of choice....this way i could hear the low battery warning better.... may be even have options like: 1, "sound" file option 2, alert at specific intervals 3, all monitoring features.... I am one of those users who prefers to have small size, clean and stable apps which dont suck on memory, chew on battery and tango with registry so no biggie if its a no go....:cool:

pls take your time with the new version as quality is always better....and i havent even finished testing all the possibilities yet with the current app....;)!!!...your video and pic project sounds very interesting.....all in all very happy with you keeping the project alive, up and rolling forward.....NICE!

How to get the day & seconds to show? And how to turn off bottom indicator lines?

I've d/l'ed v2.1.2 of Battclock. I agree with everyone else. It seems very practical. Thank you Zuinuge.

However, I'm having a difficult time configuring this thing. Maybe it's me.

Anyway, in the "Separators" section, there's the place for the date/time formats.

My question, how in the world do you get the day of the week and the seconds to actually SHOW on the taskbar??

In the "Content" section, the only options are mm/dd and variations thereof for the date, and hh:mm for time.

How do you get this other stuff like the day of the week & seconds to show? And...if this is possible, why not just have them in the "Content" section?

Also, how do I turn off bars on the bottom that indicate cpu? I was able to turn off the top bar; there's an option to do that, but no option as far as I can see to turn off the indicator lines on the bottom.

It's been frustrating configuring this thing. :-)

This seems like a good program, & configuration help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm sorry if these topics have already been addressed, but the thread is 84 pages.

Nice and clean screenshot :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Ok, I will put this battery low and sound alert on the wish list.

I always try to test a lot of combinations, before I deliver the software. However, how more features, how more difficult to test every combination. Although I try to keep the program internally simple. That means also sometimes an unavoidable redesign, to keep things small, lean and mean.

Actually, that is what I am doing now again, I added some features, which required a redesign. That is not a bad thing, it should make the program better, with more features. I want to keep the program fit for its purpose, without becoming bloatware. Of course not all features will be used anyway by each user, but if a feature is not used, it should not harm the efficiency.

So indeed, be patient ;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I can understand the configuration is not always intuitive.

There are predefined date/time formats, but because people may have their own preferences, their are 3 date/time formats you can specify exactly as you like.

See http://touchlockpro.sourceforge.net/BSettings.html#4.4 and go to DateTime Formats.

The predefined formats are:

FormatString1 = "%S%p" (default seconds and AM/PM)

FormatString2 = "W%W" (default weeknumber)

FormatString3 = "%a" (default abbreviated day name)

You can change the content of these date/time strings in the separators screen.

%a Abbreviated weekday name
%A Full weekday name
%b Abbreviated month name
%B Full month name
%c Date and time representation appropriate for locale
%d Day of month as decimal number (01 - 31)
%H Hour in 24-hour format (00 - 23)
%I Hour in 12-hour format (01 - 12)
%j Day of year as decimal number (001 - 366)
%m Month as decimal number (01 - 12)
%M Minute as decimal number (00 - 59)
%p Current locale's A.M./P.M. indicator for 12-hour clock
%S Second as decimal number (00 - 59)
%U Week of year as decimal number, with Sunday as first day of week (00 - 53)
%w Weekday as decimal number (0 - 6; Sunday is 0)
%W Week of year as decimal number, with Monday as first day of week (00 - 53)
%x Date representation for current locale
%X Time representation for current locale
%y Year without century, as decimal number (00 - 99)
%Y Year with century, as decimal number
%z, %Z Either the time-zone name or time zone abbreviation, depending on registry settings; no characters if time zone is unknown
%% Percent sign

Any formatting code may be prefixed with the # flag, to have following behaviour:
# %#d, %#H, %#I, %#j, %#m, %#M, %#S, %#U, %#w, %#W, %#y, %#Y: Remove leading zeros (if any).
# %#x: Long date representation, appropriate to current locale. For example: "Tuesday, March 14, 1995".
# %#c: Long date and time representation, appropriate for current locale. For example: "Tuesday, March 14, 1995, 12:41:29".

Hope that helps.

Actually in the Stripes screen, the first item you can browse through each stripe by pressing + and/or -. And for each Stripe you browse through you can specify the settings for that Stripe.

Just browse through each Stripe and uncheck "Stripe Enabled" if you do not want that stripe.

Zuinige could you please help me...

Thank you for your reply :-)

I did goto that page and read everything, but here's the thing, once I've say selected the format string on the "separator" screen, how do I then havee it displayed?

Apparently, selecting the format string isn't enough, because it doesn't show on taskbar. Where do I specify to display that particular format? Sorry for being dense :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] helix111:
Found it. My bad. But have another question...

Zuinige,

Turns out I hadn't scrolled thru the contents list far enough. My mental block. I guess in the horizontal mode, that the only way to add more spacing between the items is to increase the overall width?

The reason I ask is because I noticed that increasing the overall width increases the space between items 2 & 3 more than between items 1 & 2.

The other thing I noticed is when I do a long time format (hh:mm:ss a/p), that increasing the overall width doesn't appear to increase the width to accommodate the extended time entry, which in my configuration is item 1, but really increases the space between items 2 & 3.

I guess there isn't a way to increase the width of item 1 without increasing the spacing between items?

Thanks again for a useful app
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Good that you found it :)

The width is just equal divided by the number of columns or rows. I will check my code if that explains your observation, because it should not. But maybe there is a logic error in the source code :eek:

One question: I changed the colours of battery stripe, cpu stripe,free memory stripe but I can't change telephone signal stripe: can you help me?

thank you
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] helix111:
Hello again Zuinige...

I've been playing around with this some more, and definitely, at least for my install, the spacing between items 2 & 3 increases "exponentially" (figuratively speaking), whereas the space between items 1 & 3 just barely by comparison when you increase the width.

1. I want to put more space between items 1 & 2, but find thst it only increases space between items 2 & 3 disproportionately.

2. Alternatively, I'd like to just increase the width of item 1 containing the extended time with the seconds, without affecting the spacing between the three items, but can't do so. The spacing increases, but the width to accommodate item 1 doesn't that much.

3. Also, I'd ideally like to have even spacing between tne 3 items, but again am unable to so.

Again, this is just a minor flaw. It's still a great app :-)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
The cab

- makes automatically a shortcut to start at boot

- has AppToDate support

- contains all translations (not used translations will be automatically removed after first use of battConfig)

- can be removed via Settings

Just go to the Stripes Settings screen, press the + sign until you get to the RegKey1 Stripe.

There change the Low, Medium and High Color.

That should do it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Strange, I tried myself using horizontal and it equally divides the content.

Did you change the Font sizes too?

Can you post your settings (BattClock -> About -> Export) and post BattClock.reg.txt in the root of your phone.

Flying random request at the developer: is it possible, without any major programming efforts, to make it so that battclock's textvalues bar (and stripes for those who use them) are still visible on the lockscreen even when S2U2 is installed and in action?

From time to time I want to peek at the battery drain value, when referred to the standby state, to see if it is or not higher than the fatidic 4mA... and well, as soon as I wake up the device I see the "ghost" of battclock's bar (without numbers) over S2U2's lockscreen, but that empty bar immediately goes away, and anyway I still have to unlock the device to show the homescreen and hence battclock.

If the bar was instead visible *hovering* on top of S2U2 it would all become faster and easier :D

EDIT: Problem with text colour

Just discovered it by chance... maybe it's just my problem, yet I'm running v.2.1.2, and for the firdt time I tried enabling the free ram field... neither the free % nor the free MB can be coloured at all, no matter where I position them, their colour goes to very light grey, and I am not able to alter it, not evena fter soft reset. If for example I set dark green, I keep seeing it at light grey. As soon as I press + or - to change the kind of value displayed, I can see the free ram value idling there for a short while in the colour I selected (Dark green in the example) which immediately changes to the type of value I've set. As soon as I press again either - or + the colour gets back to very light grey :confused:

Hello ZuinigeRijder,

I come to appreciate that I have a shorter duration of the battery without having background programs running, and with screen brightness set too low.

BattClock I have it set to check the charge status every 180 seconds, and deleted some information, having left only: Percentage of battery power and time moment of the day, besides the bar battery at the top . I have removed the alternative uses of information he had with the additional values of the date and free RAM in addition to the CPU indicator on the bottom bar. "Increased consumption of the battery, being activated additional data I deleted?. Is it normal to perform a soft-reset to rise a bit further the level of battery charge?. :confused::confused::confused:

Note

= I have seen in the TaskManager to enable information just scratches the level of battery charge, or the level of CPU performance, significantly increase the battery consumption ... of activated only when I left the level of battery charge in percent and the hour and minute of the day, everything else I have it disabled. My HTC Touch Pro has a very powerful battery, and if I keep an eye on these issues does the battery not even a day. BattClok adjusted in this way, is one of the programs that consume less battery, but adjusted so brief as indicated. Not sure if my battery is already somewhat worn (it has a year of life, and use a lot of my HTC), but I look much consumption, and even I do not use programs that use events or notifications, to avoid these problems. :(:(:(

seems to me that we just need to invert the stripe to make the CPU load on the Omnia 2 show properly..

would give some facts but dont know of a program that would load up my system &)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Hmmm, you could try to subclass the desktop window (Others Settings Screen -> Window Name) and display the values on top of that. Or the S2U2 screen itself. But I do not know if that works. But be carefully, because subclassing the wrong window name can make a boot/softreset dangerous. Better experiment then with the zip file and start manually while experimenting.

I assume you did configure:

Battery L (LowThreshold = 25 decimal)

Battery M (MediumThreshold = 50 decimal)

Memory L (LowThresholdMemory = 25 decimal)

Memory M (MediumThresholdMemory = 50 decimal)

Or did you configure the stripes colors?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Yes, it works on Omnia II. Maybe you need to change size and position. What I know is that the CPU % and Battery current/Voltage are not working well on Omnia II.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
So you are saying that the CPU should be 100% - the number reported by BattClock.

Did you check with a Task Manager program, e.g. FdcSoft?

What I know it can be related to another program measuring CPU or the CPU speed is lowered by the device. In this way the Microsoft API for getting the CPU% gives back wrong results.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I am not sure if I understand the question correctly. So you did change the settings so only battery % and time is displayed. This would indicate that BattCLock indeed only once per minute has to do something (update the time) or once per 3 minutes (check for battery percentage). This way BattClock will not do much.

Did you not enable logging?

So you say that the battery is draining more than before?

And is this also true without BattClock running?

Or is it just the fact that you see you cannot use the phone as long as before. The latter can be indeed the fact of less good battery. But it can also be an installed program which consumes more battey.

Soft reset the battery sometimes indeed shows a better percentage. That is normal and is related to the way the battery driver operates. Nothing to do with BattClock, that just reports the value given back.

Hello,

I am Spanish. Not fluent in English, use Google as a translator and I hope I can understand.

It is possible that my battery is no longer perfect, has a year and use a lot of my HTC Touch Pro, or a program to consume more. I try to have programs running in the background (Kaspersky security if you are always working, but I have always been installed), and avoid having many alarms or notices of events.

I tried other programs like BattClock, all of which consume more CPU BattClock (some more), so I chose BattClock and discarded all others. I was doing a great control in this regard. But looking at CPU consumption BattClock if I noticed that consumes less CPU resources only with the percentage and the date that if you activate some more stripes, a considerable increase in CPU. Of course, if the battery is no longer very good all this affects the length of charge, for this reason attempt to calibrate BattClock and all programs that I have to make the battery last me more. That's why I did these questions and observations.

Regarding the program tells me that changes the processor speed ... is dangerous if you raise the CPU speed (in some cases can damage the device), if you uninstall not often get the log data correctly, and lowering the processor speed (to save battery consumption) is ineffective. I tried this type of program when using Palm OS and made a comprehensive study using these programs. If the processor speed down some applications performed badly, and always observed that the decrease in battery consumption was almost nil, not compensating use these programs. Climbing the processor speed if you could see a slight increase in the battery and the speed of operation but the risk of damaging the device and its warming was evident too. I concluded that it is recommended to use these programs.

Sincerely,
