Hi

Had this problem for about a month now where the percentage of battery my phone phone thinks it has is completely inaccurate. The problem persists in both the ram android I'm using and windows 6.5. Also it can take 30 minutes just to charge the higher percentages.

it seems to be out by about 15% most of the time, either running out of battery at roughly 15% or not charging past 85. It switches between these 2 inaccuracies occasionally when I reboot my phone.

Any ideas of what can be causing this? I'm very worried as it used to be 12% I was losing, then 13, now 15 in the space of a month.

Finally i've tried a hard rest and no luck, plus if there is a thread with the solution to this problem which I haven't found please redirect me.

Thanks in advance

Peter

Quite simply your battery is bad. HTC batteries all are "smart" batteries. It's not the phone that knows how charged it is, instead it is the board inside the battery itself. If this is faulty, or if your battery isn't able to hold a full charge, then this occurs. I would get me a new battery from eBay, they are like 5 bucks and see if it fixes your problem.
[HD2 General] peterbeer:
Thanks for the quick response. Just looked on ebay and found a '2430mah gold business battery' for £10, would that be a good replacement?

Thanks again.
[HD2 General] xlr8me:
Stay away from the large capacity batteries. Dealextreme has a htc battery exactly the same capacity as original and it works fine. Actually this message was typed on the HD2 with this battery :)
[HD2 General] peterbeer:
Just received the brand new battery, and although the problem seems to of have improved it's still there. There is now only 5% of the battery my phone refuses to accept it has....

Iwas planning on upgrading to a nand android build, is this likely to solve thend problem?

Thanks again for your help.

Hi,

I have the same problem from couple of weeks now.I am not too sure if the battery itself is the problem.I wish more people with the same problem have solution on this...
[HD2 General] xlr8me:
Well, to calibrate the battery try charging it whilst the HD2 is off checking the orange light turns green and leave it a few hrs afterwards too.

You may need to do this a few times otherwise your ROM is not updating itself to the new readings from the battery. Try reinstall factory default rom or hard reset.
[HD2 General] dazza9075:
Hmm, intresting, we having the same issues over on the WP7 forum, im assuming that its WP thats creating this issue but maybe not....

You wouldnt have the latest MAGLDR installed would you?
[HD2 General] peterbeer:
No magldr at alll atm. Will go to nand and see if the problem is solved..
[HD2 General] OrionCarl:
charging to 100% in winmo cured any charging issues for me on RAM droid
[HD2 General] 4o4i:
Interisting...will try it next time I need to charge.thanks
[Venue Pro General] Mann_Kel:
Hi all

I noticed that my phone somtimes doesnt play the lock or unlock sound, or the sound might be cut in half. Sometimes it plays fine, also the volume of the lock sound seems substantially quiter than the other sounds on the phone. Let me know if any of you have experienced this.

Thanks!
[Venue Pro General] TechMan-2012:
I have the same thing happen to me. Not a big deal for me. But odd when it cuts off a little.

[Android Apps and Games] toosurreal01:
I really like the idea, but I'm noticing some titles getting cut off and when you resize the widget with LPP the arrows don't line up correctly.
[Android Apps and Games] dubqnp:
Great looking widget, but I'm having trouble adding some feeds.

I couldn't get this to work: http://www.dr.dk/nyheder/service/feeds/allenyheder
[Android Apps and Games] jpatterson350:
Amazing widget great work!!!
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
What characters are cutting off the titles ? could you give me a feed url to test it?

As for the sizes, I haven't considered the possibility of resizing yet, I'll look into it. Which size are u resizing it to?

Indeed, it seems to come from the xsl format of that page. It gets generated as you request it with a browser so it's not a physical xml file. I'll look into it see if I can get it to work.

Thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] Zwart:
Nice and simple. I like it!

Question:

Only in white?

Another question:

Update only manual?
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Yes for now only white and manual refresh (the publication date is recalculated every 20mins though), i was waiting for some feedback to see what parameters should i make editable in priority.

Next version will have black text/arrows and set refresh time in the settings.

Any other settings you would like to make editable ?
[Android Apps and Games] Zwart:
Black looks better with my current wallpaper.

Settings for automatic synchronizing would be nice.

Widget in different sizes.

That's it. Nothing more. Like the minimal aspect :)
[Android Apps and Games] chiefy009:
Got this on my x10,

Love it really nice, auto refresh rates would be great
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Noted.

New version with black theme and auto-refresh coming up ;)
[Android Apps and Games] goldenratio:
weather widget?

Thanks for the app! Can you share the name of the weather widget in the first screencap?
[Android Apps and Games] xXG4Xx:
as it is called the weather widget that you use in this homescreen??
[Android Apps and Games] lamensterms:
hey man, great idea for app.

im afraid it will not add this feed - http://feeds.feedburner.com/absolutepunknet

first time playing with rss readers and junk, so maybe im missing something.

cheers.
[Android Apps and Games] Guiso0623:
So far I can only run one RSS feed at the time. I am I missing some thing? Other than that it looks great.
[Android Apps and Games] Decimation:
Not bad

I love the look but adding feeds could be easier, and at this point it seems to have frozen on me after adding 2 feeds.
[Android Apps and Games] snuphy:
Love it!

Love the simple design! looks great with "Clockr" simple time widget.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Stalte:
How did you get the xda developers feed
[Android Apps and Games] snuphy:
Rss Feed

http://feeds.feedburner.com/xda-developers/ShsH

Click the "RSS" icon on the Portal Page :) Enjoy!
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Ah! Now i know whats going on, i limited the parser to get only the 10 latest items of each feed to improve performances. But i didn't think of limiting the max entry value when only one or two feeds are entered! So the widget tries to display the next entry but there's none in the database so it just doesn't change and that's probably why it rumbles.

Thank you for spotting that issue, I'll fix it tonight!
[Android Apps and Games] Macelangelo77:
Could this...

...be caused by the same?

Sincerely,

Mac
[Android Apps and Games] Darius_bd:
You welcome ;) But I'm confused now. So, it only retrieves the last 10 feeds per feed? And what about old retrieves feeds, they stay in the db 'till the limit is reached? Or they get flushed with every feed update?

And maybe you can make an option for the amount retrieved? I've tried other rss widget and they're able to get 60 entries per feed without a problem or lag.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Yes, its very likely as the widget is scrolling but just doesn't have any new database entry to show so it looks like its not scrolling.

Also, last night i fixed the issue of the widget not starting scrolling after rebooting the phone.

Leaving work now, hope i can finish v1.3 tonight, if my gf doesn't distract me too much! ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
When refreshing, the entries from the same feed source and same widgetId is replaced.

I did this so the database never gets too big. I like light apps :)

But you're right, i should set the number of items parsed as a setting. I always thought 10 items per feed was a good amount of news. I guess not so much for twitter feeds :)
[Android Apps and Games] Macelangelo77:
Just send her phone number by PM to Darius and me... We'll keep her busy, so you can concentrate on development ;) LOL

Sincerely,

Mac
[Android Apps and Games] Darius_bd:
Exactly ;D And imagine with Facebook!

But they're just replaced if they reach the "Max Entries" limit, and olders first, right?
[Android Apps and Games] chrisch1974:
Hi,

I think this is the problem. I have two feeds at the moment. And set the limit to 20. But there are only 19 entries. And when you reach the last and press one more time the down arrow...nothing happens. Maybe this makes some phones to rumble. My Desire HD does not do so.

And Joenrv. I love the new feature when you reach the last entry that you jump then to the first :D

And a tipp for your girlfriend. Give her a kiss and your credit card and you will have a lot of time to program :D

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Darius_bd:

Congrats!! your app was featured @ AndroidPolice in this article:

Sugestion (widget size)

I would like to suggest you to make more size options for the widget.

(i know it is "minimal", but a option is always nice)

I like the app! Nice job!
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Waow guys, I'm exhausted!! Worked till 4am last night, now I'm in the metro, and late to work!

But it was worth it!

I finished v1.3 last night, featuring backup restore tab and max items per feed setting! Also fixed few bugs and FCs.

I'm gonna test it through the day see if i didn't forget anything.

Expect an upload later today or tonight! I got the apk on a usb stick in case i feel like uploading it from work ;)

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] MarkAndroid:
This widget is very cool.

Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Cocotus:
I just tried new version and it works great! Love autoscrolling feature, thank you Sir! :) As you can see in my screenshot the title of Feed gets cut, although there is enough space to show the whole title. Is it possible to expand the title from left to right? But the app is already perfect for me, very good job! 5 Stars!
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Thanks ! I will definetly add more widget sizes as soon as the remaining bugs are all ironed out !
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
That lockscreen is looking good ! and great home screens setup !

Yes, i really need to add that full screen setting to make the text take all the wideness of the screen.

I'll see if I can implement it tonight before releasing v1.3 !!
[Android Apps and Games] Darius_bd:
Thanks mate, is nice to know you're so committed with this nice little ;)

I just envy how ppl has that kind of knowledge to make software works, healthy envy of course ;D

so *double thumb up* very good work here

Oh btw, I resize the widget with LauncherPro Plus. Ye should really have it folks!
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Guys.... something big is coming!!!

Hold tight
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
And there you have it ! v1.3 is out ;) Enjoy!
[Android Apps and Games] chrisch1974:
Hi Joenrv,

Thanks for this nice new version. I already updated it and found a little bug. If you have more than one widget then the settings are opened always for the same one.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
I just love the android community since Drakaz revived my galaxy i7500 from the graveyard with his mythic ROM! been hooked since then :)

And you know, we all start somewhere, with good basics and the many tutorials and examples you can find you can easily learn by yourself !

... And again, you teach me something, I'm gonna reactivate my LauncherPro plus and check it out right away !

Thanks for the support ! (and for the androidpolice link, I missed that one :p)
[Android Apps and Games] Macelangelo77:
Just downloaded the new release. It just keeps getting better, every release :D. Upgrade went flawless, just played with some settings, made a backup, all seems to work fine. The new alignment is great! The widget now uses more space (width) on my screen, better utilizing the screen without losing functionality. Just great!

Will report back tomorrow for more thorough feedback, first impression is very, very good!

Sincerely,

Mac
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
This was true beforre this version as well, I use the standard SharedPreferences API which is applied to all widgets.

It's much lighter and safe, and I figured it wasn't a bad thing that when you change a display setting, it's applied to your other widgets too.

The scroll speed setting is not shared thought.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Great ! I've tested this one out properly so hope I didn't miss anything.

Thanks for the support Mac !
[Android Apps and Games] chrisch1974:
Ok. This makes sense. But how to access the configuration of the feeds? Because I always get this from one widget. Also when I start the settings on the other widget.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
You mean you see the same feeds on both widgets? that shouldn't happen anymore, but if it does, try to scroll both widgets to refresh their private settings.

That should get the settings to show the right feeds on each widget.

If you're still having trouble, try to backup all your feeds, delete all widgets then re-add widgets and restore, that will clean your database.
[Android Apps and Games] chrisch1974:
Hi Joenrv,

Refreshing helped. Now I have the correct settings. Maybe a small problem during the update. Thanks for your help and this really cool app.

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Darius_bd:
.

Excellent update! :) I feel it's more fast! I just have one bigger problem that aint your fault:

"Over Quota

This Google App Engine application is temporarily over its serving quota. Please try again later."

No more rss for twitter x)

So, guess I'll have to wait for 1.5 to get that ea? wouldnt want to keep you away from the cute girlfriend ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Ohhh so that's why it doesn't refresh my twitter list anymore... damn. Guess I'll really have to dig that twitter api then :)

I promised my gf a day trip to the country this week end, but don't think I'm not gonna restart working soon! So much to do still!
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Hmm it seems to be working again, maybe its just a matter of not refreshing too many times in a short period
[Android Apps and Games] Cocotus:
Upgraded to newest version and feed title is displayed in full length - really nice!! Now it's perfect for me! Thanks for implementing the solution that fast. Just rated it 5 Stars on android market :)
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
I'm glad it works for you, thank you for the suggestion! It really does make it look nicer in wide view.
[Android Apps and Games] mishooo:
Hi guys from where can i get the other things on the screenshots like the weather panel and the clock ?
[Android Apps and Games] The Mad Mule:
Upgraded to 1.3 yesterday on the DX.

The bug where sometimes multiple (Twitter) feeds appear to show the same thing is still present. It usually happens when waking the phone from sleep, and after rebooting/powering on the phone. Refreshing the affected widgets by hitting the arrow keys fixes it.

A new bug has been introduced; in landscape mode, the messages stay in the same portrait format, so they're pushed to one side, while the entire right half of the widget is empty space.
[Android Apps and Games] garrettj:
Where did you get that xoom wallpaper in the last few screens? I've been searching for it everywhere. Scanned all 22 pages of this thread and came up with nothing :( Could you please post it? thanks
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
I've experienced that too but very randomly, sometimes when i wake up my phone, both widgets show the same news, but as soon as it auto scrolls, it gets it right again. I'll look into that see if I can find the source of the issue (random issues are the worse).

And yes, i need to adapt the landscape mode now that the layout has changed. Adding it to my Todo list.

Thanks for reporting that !

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Here you go !
[Android Apps and Games] nully:
Is it possible to have https://gmailusername:password@gmail.google.com/gmail/feed/atom/ to read unread emails?
[Android Apps and Games] garrettj:
I love you.

In a brother type of way.

Thanks!
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Thanks for pointing this out Nully ! It seems doable, I just need to enable HTTP authentification to get unread emails on the widget !

Another thing to add to the Todo list, thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] bnwg:
I have two separate widgets for FB update and news update. However everytime I added a new RSS feed to the news widget the FB widget would get the same thing.

Anyone comes up the same thing? I want to separate them.
[Android Apps and Games] Darius_bd:
Heck, I pressed "thanks" instead of "quote" xD Well, there ya go, a free thanks.

Anyway, you refreshed the widget after adding the feeds and saving it? It should display the correct feeds after that.
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
I solved a bug today which made the widgets mess up their feeds together, hope it fixes that as well. I'll release a v1.3.1 soon.
[Android Apps and Games] CocoMonGo:
My first post in XDA dedicated to say thank you for such a great app! It has completed my home screens!

Noticed couple of things, I am subscribing to reuters.com and have set "Total Entries" and "Max Items per Feed" to 20:10 and 100:50 before. Either way items that are 4 days old and are not even in the latest feeds are still being shown in the widget.

I accidentally clicked "Backup" twice and now when I restores duplicates of all the feeds. Also couldn't get the widget to load the feeds after restoring, probably due to my corrupted backup data file though. Maybe a "delete backup data" would help?

Couple of suggestions I have is if you could also implement a "validity period" so that the widget does not show items that are outside of a set time stamp? e.g. 24 hours, 48 hours, 12 hours, etc
[Android Apps and Games] Macelangelo77:
I noticed when aligned one widget left and the other right, within a few seconds both widgets align to the same side (the one last chosen). This is with 1.3. Is this solved too with 1.3.1? I've no other remarks for 1.3, it's just awesome :)

Sincerely,

Mac
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
I'm honoured to be the reason for your first post on XDA !

Both of your suggestions are very useful, you just added two more changes in v1.3.1 !

1/ a Clear backup data button, there should'nt be data corruption when backuping but in case it happens, i guess this is useful.

2/ the "Total Entries" settings will become "Max News Age", suppose it makes more sense.

Thanks for the support and feedback!

Cheers
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Hi Mac,

Glad you're pleased with v1.3.

The visual settings of the widgets are being shared by all widgets, so when the second widget refreshes, it takes the new settings.

Do you think it's an important feature to be able to 'skin' your widgets differently?

I can do it but it will take me quite some time, so i want to know if it's a priority for you guys?

Tell me what you think.
[Android Apps and Games] Darius_bd:
Uhm, before it was separated, afaik. Still I would say twitter feeds is more of a priority for me n_n'

Keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] Macelangelo77:
No priority at all. I was just playing with a second widget and it's settings, and I never had a second widget on my home screen before. I thought that the ability to have 2 widgets at the same time would automatically mean that their settings where saved separately. So, please focus on what's important to the rest of your fans :D, mine was just a remark, not a bug report. Consider it a nice to have, for a rainy day when you ran out of feature requests :)

Sincerely,

Mac
[Android Apps and Games] Joenrv:
Hehe don't worry twitter is on top my list :) Though I'm not quite sure exactly how I'm gonna implement it, I wanna do it right, not like most of the twitter widgets which I personnaly never use.

To everyone who reads this : Share some ideas !

It's more than a nice to have, now that i'm adding more and more customization options, it's only normal that they apply to one widget only. Added to my todo list for v1.4.

To Mac and Darius : Thank you guys, I really appreciate your continuous support !

Cheers
