After a week of use yesterday I had to uninstall the application cause when I was in the car with the tomtom activated, it disconnected the gps antenna! It was very annoying but thank God I have been able to pinpoint the problem in a few minutes cause I needed the gps!!!

It's a pity, but sometimes apps are not always fully compatible with everithing.

My hd2 is still not so rocky stable as lots of people said around, but I need the apps installed and, most of all, I need the navigator.

Thanks anyway. Just my two cents.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Just make sure that for the stripes you do not want, you select "Empty" for the second row in the Stripes settings screen. Make sure to disable all stripes via the first row.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I would not expect problems GPS, because I use also this (although IGO8) without problem. So I doubt it is related to BattClock. I suspect another application or just the GPS signal did fall away.

BattClock does nothing with GPS, so my guess is that you suspect BattClock to be the cause, whereas it is not.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] konker:
Thanks for the tip!

That did the trick. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] HTC_FUZE:
I hope you can BattClock can be added as one of CHOME item, because more information has been added to BattClock. I would like to indicate Temp, amperage, voltage, GPRS/WIFI/USB data flow statistics and others to CHome. Taskbar is not enough to display information and also overlapped with some task manager programs.

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
I'm prone to absolutely exclude that battclock interferes in any way with the GPS.

I own an HD2 as well, and have been faithfully using battclock since I discovered it. There is nothing that battclock possibly does to alter the GPS, basically it only keeps track of system info, and draws that info on the top bar.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ik8vwa:
All I know is that as soon as switched it off, the gps worked again.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
the cross-check would be re-enabling and re-disabling it more times, to see if it's repeatable ;) I am convinced it was a coincidence, it would be like saying that as soon as you stopped watching the news and switched to the simpsons, your microwave came back to life :D
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ik8vwa:
Well, unfortunately it was not like that. I reset the device, launched iGo8 too and it gave me the same problems. So I thought about the last application installed and the culprit was...this little program that helped me keep the battery monitored.

So are things. Sometimes they work flawlessly, others not.

It seems that something interferes with the navigator and particularly with the gps antenna data flow or something. I was very annoyed cause I was on the road looking for a specific address (I work in the Government field, can't say more...) and the navigator betrayed me in the moment I needed it most!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Strange... :confused:

What ROM and Radio did you use on your HD2?

I tried many German ROMs in the last Time, and i never had Problems with GPS and BattClock running.

And i use it everyday with TomTom.

Maybe try the actual Radio 2.15.50.14, or even the brand new Stock ROM from HTC -> its already released in many Languages and coming more.

Maybe give BattClock another try, i cant believe BattClock is responsible for your problem ;)

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ik8vwa:
Hi, thanks for your interest. My radio is 2.07.51.22_2 the rom is 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE the Manila version is 2.5.192116190

I'm not going to change any rom since rom update sometimes can be critical and until now my unit, even if not very very stable as I imagined it should have been reading opinions on the net, was able to work without other particular problems.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tubgirl:
Thank you for the answer... that sounds really good. I was afraid that BattClock was about to turn into "bloatware" ;)

Then maybe I can ask you if it's possible to have different font sizes for each line? :o I'd like to make the clock font bigger than the battery font.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lilb19:
Actual Percentage

I am wondering why mine is not showing the actual percentage instead it is showing in increments of 10. Does anyone know why this is? I have installed the latest cab 1.4 which is suppose to have this fixed.

Thanks in advance

Bobby
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sirphunkee:
I used TubGirl's settings above on my TP2 (tmo usa, stock rom), and that's about as close to ideal as I could get it...I tried tweaking them a little bit, but I kept coming back to those values as the best looking results.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sirphunkee:
Bobby, that's a function of the way your phone is reporting the percentage, it reports it in 10% increments by default (the same way you see the green bar graph in settings/system/power). You'll need to add a quick hack to get it to report in 1% increments. There's a couple available here, I'm just too new to post the links it seems. Just look in the forums for "1% increment battery driver"
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Unfortunately that would cost too much performance :D

Just kidding. In principle that is possible, but then you have to configure more. Now the BattClock space is divided into 2 equal areas. If you want a bigger font for one info line and smaller for the other info line, you also want different spaces (height). I am planning to make it possible for even 3 lines, so than you have to configure 3 sizes and 3 areas.

I am not sure if that will be a configuration problem. Of course BattClock can have sensible defaults, so only if you want to change things, you have the possibilities.

I assume you want a bigger clock which takes more space than the battery percentage? Anyway the width should be large enough to fit the largest part.

Anyway, I will put it on the wish list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tubgirl:
Hehe... that's funny! :D I realized the irony in my post even as I wrote it. First asking for a simpler version and then asking for more features... :rolleyes:

Anyway... thank you for putting it on the wish list. What I'm trying to achieve is to let the time be the dominating piece of information but still be able to check the battery level at a closer look.

Brgds... /TubGirl :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] radar5:
Great program! Running it on my Sprint Touch. Once I got the background color synced up with my Home Screen all was good. It looks a little funny when I goto the Start Program since the color is darker, but I can live with that.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I do not need that anymore in upcoming version 1.5. I get notified when there is battery percentage changed (so no poll needed normally and updates are immediately) and I do not longer force the battery percentage readout, just using the cached value (which may a few seconds out of date). And of course only do it with screen on.

My first tests show that the battery is improved by that too, although the consumption might not be noticeble.

For my Diamond the battery percentage went down approx. 1% in 2 hours during night, with radio on.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] sxtheone:
wow, you've got a nuclear battery. :D

btw, using cache is a great idea!:cool:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Hmm, I am looking how to compute free and used memory in C++, as option to be shown in the BattClock. Someone having pointers to source code?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Found it myself:

Global Memory Status
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] MauriceA:
My Touch Pro 2 settings

ClockHeight= 50

ClockWidth= 65

ClockX=4294967197

FontSize=20

The same values are for Landscape.

Great program!

By the way: I have used the following for the 1% increment xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=527006
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Minister:
better than kBattery if using HD2

Hi there, thanks again for this great app. The adjustment of the registry is a pain but hey it works. It's better than the Kbattery app because this does not cause HD2's weather animation to studder.

My registry settings for HD2 (thanks to the previous posts that I took reference to)ClockBackground = 0 (black background, non-transparent... so it shows in the lock screen)

ClockWidth = 55 (i tried 51 and no problems too so not sure the diff)

ClockX = 4294967204

ClockXLandscape= 4294967204

Font Size = 18

FontSizeLandscape = 18

Thanks for the great app, will continue to test on my HD2
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barty22:
Thank you zuinigerijder (80 in z'n 5!), will try it on my HD2 once 1.5 is out.

Just interested, why is the battclock realized by means of an overlay? Isn't it possible to actually replace the WM battery, I think that is what the battery indicator with 1% increments for the HD2 does...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] RED_RIAN:
This is good stuff. Reading through your page, I'm using 1.4 is it possible to have the time, battery % & date all at once? If not, can that go on the wishlist?

Also, can we have the option to have a transparent background?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] mahender:
touch pro settings.

touch pro settings.

have adjusted my landscape values so it fits well.

hope it helps others.

once again thanks for a cool app.

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tubgirl:
I took a black picture with the camera on my HD2 (held it against a pillow) and made it the background for both the start menu and lock screen. It looks great now! :)

Brgds... /TubGirl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I do not want to replace the WM battery, because that would also limit the possibilities. With my approach I am not hindered by the position and the content. People can choose their own location and size. That is the power of BattClock, I think.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
BattClock 1.5 is finished. I am updating the web pages locally at the moment. So I hope that I can upload the new version this evening late. Busy with screenshots and stuff.

And yes, it constains now the possibility to show content in 3 lines, so time, battery% and date. It is even possible to show free memory percentage, for ones who like that :D

Transparant background is not possible. But I have another solution. You can configure an image, which content is drawn first in the BattClock and then the info is drawn over that image. So you can prepare your own background, so it looks transparant :rolleyes:
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] barty22:
Perhaps, though I don't know what the limits would be that you are talking about. It's just the idea that I don't like about something covering up the original battery, I prefer the idea of a clean screen without things covering up each other which can be moved around and lalalala

but maybe that's just me :p
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Normally it should work with your Rom, its not the oldest...

Like i said you can update to actual Radio 2.15.50.14 without changing Rom,

so no data will be lost.

Since i have the newer Radio, my GPS is much snappier and resume after sleep it is finding the Satellites very fast.

How do you stop stripe from flashing while charging?

Hi,

I have assigned stripe1 as battery% and I want to turn off the "default" flashing or blinking while charging.

Can you advise how to do this? I'm guessing, from the documentation, that Battclock simply "rotates" from one stripe color config to another, but I don't know which reg values, etc., I need to change. Can someone help?

Thank you!
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phixion35:
Just downloaded v3.1.0 today, upgraded from v1.8 Such a night and day differance. I love all of the new features and monitors that have been added and implimented from the version I upgraded from. So far it's working perfectly for me on my HTC Pure with stock AT&T ROM. I like how signal strength can be shown both as a bar and 1-step interval number. Sure beats the standard signal meter icon.

One question I have though, I was checking out the style pics in the original post in this thread and wondered how some of them are achieved with the BattClock items. Namely the following styles...

Thanks again for an awesome application! :)

Oh yes, I also run BattLineSvc app on my phone as well, is it really kinda redundant using that if i have BattClock running? Do they poll the battery level from the same source? I did notice with v1.8 of BattClock that they would reconize identical levels 100% of the time...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Hi,

sorry but no, this is currently not possible to disable.

Maybe ZuinigeRijder will add this function in upcoming versions.

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
The upper screenshot was an quick and dirty one of me.

what do you exactly want to know?

Greetz tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phixion35:
I'm curious how you got the readings to appear that way, verses how mine looks with the standard bar meters and numeric counters...
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Hi

Look at the first Post, there is an very good Youtube Video.

This explains very good howto configure BattClock right.

You have to configure Rows and Colums...

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Bonito77:
Thanks for create this great app.:D A half year ago I has it in an rom I used and now I have the "original". I missed this so long time and thank rat_2665, how post an link in his thread i finally found your ingeniously applikation.:):p

Grtz Bonito;)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phixion35:
Thanks, checked out both videos plus the user configurations video as well. Definitely have a better idea how to tweak the look of it. One design style I'm still not sure how to do is this one:

How do you get the bar to display above each numeric reading, it appears that each bar is a graphic meter of the number it's above??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Hi,

the "bar" are in configuration called "Stripes" they are free configurable in position high and widh and orientation.

So you can put them above the textual contend.

just play a little around and you will get it.

beware of overlaping textual contend and stripes, ot you will have unexpected problems.

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phixion35:
Got it, thanks! :)

Do you know what settings (size, location) wise were used for the above??
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] track909:
Hello,

I have an Acer S200 but the cpu speed don't go.

The cpu is the same of HTC HD2.

There is a fix or registry key?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Can you post a debug log file, maybe that gives me a clue? Maybe the CPU type is reported differently?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Tokl:
Is the Program LeoCPUSpeed working for you?

BattClock is using the same DLLs, and i read somewhere the S200 did work with it, maybe you use an different Rom?

Greetz Tokl
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] track909:
yes, the program LeoCPUSpeed works very well

This is the .reg file
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Can you also enable debug logging (BattConfig About screen), stop BattClock, start BattClock, stop BattClock and post the log file BattClock.log.txt in the directory where BattClock is installed (Programs\BattClock). Thereafter you can disable debug logging.

That log file gives me information about the CPU type.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] track909:
Ok, this is the right file......
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Hmmm, it looks like you phone does not give back the correct CPU ID:

2010-10-26 20:37:29 662350142 CPU id: : 

2010-10-26 20:37:29 662350142 Frequency Mhz: : 0

So then I do not apply the CPU frequency (BattClock supports 2 CPU types, so also does not know which one to choose), because it can crash the phone when the CPU Type is not supported. So I always go on the safe side :cool:

Hmmmm, so I wonder why the CPU id is not given back. What ROM and language are you using?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] track909:
I use a cooked rom.

The cpu is the same of HTC Leo and I think to create/modify a value of registry and insert the exact name.

Can you help me to found the string in the registry?

THANKS
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] track909:
With a registry editor I have found this info:

HKLM/ControlPanel/ACER/SystemInfo/CPU/

Provider: QUALCOMM

Type: QSD8250
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I do not use a registry key to detect the CPU id.

I just ask for it programmatically:

cpuType = 0; // unknown
wchar_t inbuffer[1024];
wchar_t outbuffer[1024];
UINT32 outSize = 0;
memset(inbuffer, 0, sizeof(inbuffer));
memset(outbuffer, 0, sizeof(outbuffer));
BOOL result = KernelIoControl(0x1010064, inbuffer, 1024, outbuffer, 1024, (LPDWORD)&outSize);
if (!result) {
LOGDEBUG("Could not detect CPU type");
return;
}
LOGDEBUG2("CPU id: ", outbuffer);
if (wcsstr(outbuffer, L"MSM7200") != NULL) {
cpuType = 1;
} else if (wcsstr(outbuffer, L"MSM7201") != NULL) {
cpuType = 2;
} else if (wcsstr(outbuffer, L"MSM75") != NULL) {
cpuType = 3;
} else if (wcsstr(outbuffer, L"MSM76") != NULL) {
cpuType = 4;
} else if (wcsstr(outbuffer, L"QSD8250") != NULL) {
cpuType = 7;
} else if (wcsstr(outbuffer, L"QSD8650") != NULL) {
cpuType = 7;
}
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] track909:
Ok, the CPU is in your list.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Yes, but then BattClock has to look for a registry key very specific to the Acer. Or BattClock must be forced via another (general BattClock) registry key to force a CPU type.

So an option would be to also search for the registry key:

HKLM/ControlPanel/ACER/SystemInfo/CPU/Type

QSD8250

Advantage: this will work for Acer phones out of the box

Disadvantage: other phones where the programmatically detecting CPU id does not work, need to fill/create the above key manually.

I will think about it.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] track909:
Ok, thank you.

I hope you manage to solve the problem for all holders of the Acer phone

I'm waiting for news.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] casouzaj:
Hi ZuinigeRijder,

I'm not using BattClock right now. I used it in the past, and have plans to install it again at some point in the future. As such, I'd like to add some bits of informations here: my phone is the Acer Tempo M900, for what those reg keys are populated this way: 'Provider' = 'SAMSUNG' and 'Type' = 'S3C6410XL-54'.

Just my 2 cents...

Regards,

Carlos

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] Delphianer:
Hi all,

I found this Application and I think it's great.

But I have some trouble to Configure BatClock for Portrait and Landscape-Mode.

I configured BatClock for Portrait. So far so good. Then I read offten "turn the PPC in Landscape-Mode and start the Config again and set your Settings".

So, I turned my PPC in Landscape and start the Config. If I turn back to Portrait, Batclock used the same settings.

What do I wrong? Could someone help me?

Thank.

P.S.: Sorry, for my bad English.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phixion35:
Now my question is, if I want some contents located in the default position over battery icon, and then want other contents on the left side of screen, how do I set that up in locations? I know I'll need 2 columns, but it appears they only go next to each other, not able to set up seperate from eachother?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ephestione:
just add more columns, and specify values only for first and last one, the middle ones will be empty but still take up space
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] phixion35:
Thanks! Never thought to have empty ones in the middle. :)
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] fade2black101:
My battclock keeps moving randomly after some time, and after I move it back, I notice it moves slightly once again some time later. Is there any way to lock it to a location so it never moves?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I have found another way of determining the CPU type. I am investigating that one first. Probably I post a test version for Acer phone. If that does not work too, then I can fallback to the registry key trick (Acer only fallback).
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
You can also use BattClock and TouchLockPro together. You can disable all TouchLockPro features you do not need, and more or less use it the same as BattClock. So you have 2 BattClock area's.....
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Strange. Is it related to the orientation of the screen? Because in Landscape it switches to other (relative) positions. Is it reproducable?

You can post a debug log file BattClock.log.txt, maybe that gives me a clue. If you can reproduce it, it is good to note the exact date/time, so I can easier find out what was going on.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
BattClock Landscape/Portrait mode is only applicable for the BattClock area. The stripes are not Landscape aware, although negative values count from the right. Could that be the confusion, that configuring stripes in landscape takes over the settings for portrait?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gazsyka:
TP2 - CPU freq & wifi

Hello Chef,

currently, I'm using 21680 Build rom, and the cpu frequency is not working with this on My TP2, and same the situation with wifi datas. :S

What should I do

Many thanks your effort, this project is usefull. :)

Attached I'm sending short log file, I hope this will be help to correct your project.

View attachment battclock_log.zip
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
I looked into the log file, but I could not see the CPU type logging. So I expect you did not restart BattClock after enabling debug logging. Can you do that and post the log file of that?

I also do not see you configured Wifi Data to show. Is that correct?
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GLO:
Hi Zunigerider,

How often should cpu clock speed update?

i was hoping that it fluctuates relative to the cpu%.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Once per second the CPU speed is checked and updated if different. BattClock does not influence itself the CPU speed. So it is your phone configuration. E.g. can even configure HD2, I believe, not to change CPU speed.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gazsyka:
Please find attached, my new log. I hope now I made the correct.

View attachment battclockv1.log.zip
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] adizz131:
cheers thanks for this
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] ZuinigeRijder:
Also in this log file the debug logging shows you did enable debug logging while battClock was already running. So unfortunately still no clue.

Can you reproduce by doing the following:

1. Enable debug logging in BattConfig

2. Stop BattClock (by executing BattClock in Programs, it will ask you to disable BattClock)

3. Start BattClock (by executing BattClock in Programs)

4. Wait 20 seconds and Stop battClock again

5. Post the debug log file BattClock.log.txt

Afterwards you should disable debug logging, because it generates a huge log file.

Hope we can find the cause.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] GLO:
Thanks.

I suppose that the cpu clock speed is less important than to

see cpu% as i have been seeing alot of frrezes on my HD2.

Fortunately, with BattClock i was able to determine a maxed out cpu and overheating motherboard
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] gazsyka:
Hello,

I'm sorry, I followed your insturciton about debug logging, please find attached my newest log.
