Battery Icon doesn't work - Touch HD Windows Mobile ROM Development

Hello,
I'm building a ROM but the only thing is that my battery icon doesn't work.
When my battery is 100% loaded it gives: Full battery icon
When my battery is 50% loaded it gives: Full battery icon
When my battery is 25% loaded it gives: Full battery icon
When my battery is 10% loaded it gives: Battery icon with 2 stripes
When my battery is 5% loaded it gives: Battery icon with exclamation mark
How to fix this?
Also when I check the registry everything looks ok
[HKLM]\controlpanel\Power
Help please!
Thx

Is there really nobody that can help me?

hi Not sure what could be causing this except a fault in one of the dll files for the battery icon. I would test a different taskbar like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520132 this one as it has a number for the battery and you can monitor it better. If all works ok uninstall it and monitor again.
If this does not work i would Hard Rest the phone

Do you know this battery indicator?

I found from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328114
The screenshot is attached.
Do you know which application is used?
it can be found HERE .. but be warned, I don't think it will work with the stock ROM for the TyTN II .. at least it didn't work for me when I tried to install it.
Thanks wattsja, it looks dangerous, so I skip this
Working fine in my device, must install first sdkcerts.cab and then one off the other flavours.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=321733
i've just bit the bullet and installed it and it worked fine for me.
(I made sure sdkcerts was installed than run the bottom cab on the first post)
I now have a battery icon with the percentage on top.
Your Milage May Vary, but it worked for me.
Flubster
Stand by while I retry ......
EDIT2: Restarting now ......
Edit3: Well, slap me around and call me Susan .. it works. Must have been some other program that clobbered it the first time I installed it. I am happy now!
For the record .. I used the 1st cab (after the sdkcerts) for the full color battery.
I installed Batti: http://pda.jasnapaka.com/batti/
I like the option of displaying a few pixels at the top of the window to represent the battery life left. It saves me from having to keep an actual battery icon in the menubar.
Batti has memory leak issues...
Extra Special Battery Icons are great, but it shows the status only by 10% jumps. Someone should do a updated Kaiser version of this.
Just checking....the battery percentage only shows 100%, 90%, 80%.... right? It does really show the exact amount like maybe 87% or 63%. Can someone confirm this.

Right - it does for me too...
No battery indicator
Hoping somebody can help me here. I flashed new radio software and my battery indicator has stopped working shows main battery as Unknown (and no indication in the meter). Downloaded Batti in the hope that it would kick start something.
Batti works OK but the battery percent is unknown and the voltage is 0.000v. Phone charges OK but the orange LED doesn't come on either.
I need the radio software to make the SMS work on Orange

Battery Indicator [TF3D]

Okay, so I went and did a search and checked out all the battery indicators that are usable for my Fuze. Most of them work on the today screen which I thought was nice, but I had TF3D enabled and don't play on taking it off.
I also rather not have the lil bar above the top curtain [I guess that's what you call it].
Anyway, I was wondering if anyone knew of a battery indicator that can work well with TF3D. Or maybe creating a tab for it? Oh yeah, hopefully one that's not a battery killer either.
...just wondering.
ariel battery is really good(small footprint), you can customize all the colors and it shows percentage also. hope that helped
You can try WkTask ... there is additional battery indicator (very thin but well visible) on top of the screen. It works perfect on my TP, I mean even if internal indication shows 50% (which is definatelly not true) WkTask battery indicatior show real battery state.
Hope this helps.

I rather not use the lil bar at the top, and that particular one is a battery drainer. Thanks though.

Appreciate it, but when I researched that, it shows that's a whole customized thing for 6.1? I just want a battery indicator, that's it.

well if simple is what you want it looks like you might just wana stick with the one your phone came with.
I don't think we are talking about the same thing. Here is the link it really doesn't use much system resources at all.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364278
something clean simple and all white ( i even think theres custom colors, without the batt drain ) is :
pk's newwarning batt.
i rocked it with my tilt..and i used it once or twice with my FUZE..im now using some custom stuff but for simplicity and gettin the job done, i suggest that one.
if u need the files lemme know..i got em on a jump drive somewhere.
Late,

Oh sorry, I had got that confused with another one.
But still, when I used that one on my tilt, it was a battery drainer as well.
Picky picky picky. I use batti and just tried ariel both are awesome. These are the best battery apps hands down.
Edit: In my oppinion at least.

!!Read post 14 (maybe solution)!! - Strange Battery Behaviour with battery tools

Hello
I have new diamond 2 for three days. It's very good machine, but i've one serious problem with battery. I try to explain the strange behaviour of it:
1) Battery life is too short. I have read in this forum, that battery life is amazing. I dont have this opinion. My topaz's battery life is about 3/4 of a day (standard using)
2) battery behaviour 1 - sometimes i have battery % value another than after restart. For example i have now 50%. When i do soft reset i will have 35%. After second soft reset i will have 42%. Maybe i have problem with battery calibration or something like that. Or ROM is bad.
3) battery behaviour 2 - many times my battery freeze at specific % value (for examlple 40%). At first i though that is amazing battery life. Buuut no. After few hours still was there value 40%. So i tried soft reset and i saw only 16%. I really don't know what is this problem about.
I tried ariel battery bar, which is very simple program and i didn't have problems with it in the past (when i had kaiser). But here was the same problem. Value on Ariel battery bar freezed too. After softreset there was another value. Maybe i will try hard reset in the future....Now i am trying to format battery with process of fully charge and discharge. Maybe it helps.
Has someone the same problem like me?
Detail of my official ROM:
ROM ver: 1.39.479.1 (47382) WWE
ROM date: 04/07/09
Radio ver: 3.43.25.19
Protocol ver: 61.20t.25.10U
Many thanks for help
PS: i had hermes, 2x kaisers in my past, but this kind of problem i haven't had til now. hmmm
Can you list any applications you have installed or is it still original and out of the box with no applications apart from the standard ones?
How did you perform your initial charge ?
I always perform mine by doing a full charge - letting it drain and then back on charge
This happens for the first week - even if it goes flat in the car, I will not plug it in the car charger until I get home and can do a full charge!
Once the first week is done, I charge normally which at the moment has been every 2 days
Did you do something similar?
I have read on here someone else having issues which is potentially down to the battery so it might just be you have a duff battery
thank you for quick response
Apps:
G-alarm
Total Commander
Core Player
Dictionary
MyLight
Nothing special installed. I think at first i must do a hard reset because i must exactly know if this will be on fresh ROM.
First charge - as usually - it was the same like you.
Now i am charging and here is the same strange problem. I am charging now for 2 hour and battery is only on level 50%. So, now i am going to do soft-reset..............few second...................tadaaaa i have 100%. This is not normal. Here is something bad.
But thanks for you help.

I was going to suggest the hard reset route - this would determine if its software or not.
I will say that charging from empty takes a hell of a long time on the TD2! I'm thinking without even timing it, that it is taking around 4-5 hours to charge up ... and thats on mains!
Are you doing a soft-reset while it is plugged into the mains to charge?
Also is it doing this on usb charge (try another cable and NOT the one supplied for the charger)
Have you been using Opera. If so how have you been closing it. Did you go to menue exit or just hit the X? I ask because I found that hitting the X did not fully close it and when I went back to it it was still at the same page and not relaoding my home page.
Also did you set X to close the programs automatically or do you have to hold X to shut the program down?
It is also my 3rd day with the phone but have used internet a lot and the battery seems to be good. I also have been playing lots of games. I have done an initial Full charge and let it drain.... A full charge again let it drain... and last night it got a full charge.... My battery is Full at the moment. Today I have used it mildly for the web.... Like less than 15 min and have played games for about 10. A few calls and that's it. I can say it's doing better than my Elfin has.

Good point - Just for your reference, in the settings menu > advanced settings> System> Task Manager > Button tab
You can set the X to close rather than minimise - I have always set this to be the case so that when I close a program, it does close!
i tried 3 different chargers. Nothing.
Now i am doing hard-reset. Soon i will report.
report-after hardreseting my topaz seems to be fine. Before hardresseting i fully charged my battery. now i am testing it...
hmmm. really interesting. after few hours of testing everything was ok. So i decided to test it with battery applications (ariel battery bar and another tools wich shows battery bar in %.) And here started ainigain the same problems. Can someone test ariel battery bar and test some soft reset? Please watch what happend after restarts with battery %. I tried 10x restart
and everytime was there another value of battery. Sometimes higher, sometimes lower values.....really annoying
Now i have uninstalled all battery tools and i am going to test again if everything is goog...
alkapone please inform us about the results because i kinda have the same problem here, and i am using batti.
i have a lot of applications installed (nothing to do with the battery meter), but i have GPRS not 3G signal, i am closing the programs normally, and i am exiting opera, and so on. i am using it a lot but i think it goes out kinda fast. i almost get 1 day by using it.
can anyone suggest a battery meter that actually works fine? i like batti
Same problems here! Looking at the battery-information tab: After 4 hours of use after full charged the battery is empty..
I have been using dciBattery and qwertyMemory and all seems to be ok.
I have copied the files to the storage card then run the files and set a shortcut in the windows startup folder.
Here is a link to the files
http://freewareppc.com/utilities/qwertymemoryanddcibattery.shtml
this program doesn't have any config ? i don't want to have the memory bar and i don't want to have that gradient thing.
i think i solve the problem - not sure for 100%
hello to all
i think i solved the trouble. when i have uninstalled every battery app, everything seems to be ok. and one statistic - i had today at 12:00(lunch) 20% of battery. after 8 hours standard using of the phone(few calls,sms,internet), my battery told me that it has 10%. i think it is veeeery gooood (8 hours=only 10% decrease of the battery).beautiful.
result - this case showed that some battery apps/tools causes problens with compatibility battery meter vs. these apps..,
list of apps which causes problems (my tests)
1) jimmyes greens battery fixes
2) ariel batrery bar
3) batti
this is not 100% solution. i am still testing.
please write your opinion.
i am going to try finix

I am using it since day one with my td1 and td2 and no problems so far...
Do you think nueDynamicClock and nueClock as well as TweakHD (with it's apparent powersaving options etc) could be culprits as well? I'm on 6 hours standby and 2 hours device usage and I've just hit 55% on my battery (trying out the app alkapone02 just linked to)
i have installed finix batt icon too. batti was battery crazy on this.
i will test tomorrow, i am fully charging it now and i am going to test how long it will last through the week
super. please test it and report here as usually. thanks

batery percentage

hi,
somebody know how i can enable the percentage display in the battery icon in status bar? i had it already activated once but now i cant find the option nowhere in the settings after flashing a new rom.. i thought it was in spare parts but it isnĀ“t there anymore Oo
another thing is that sometimes when i acitvate the screen after sleep i get this weird color error like a negativ image with really strange looking colors.. than i have to put it back to sleepe and wake again and everything is normal again. i had this with lots of different roms so i think maybe it is a faulty display.. any ideas?
You can get battery percentage by downloading Battery indicator from the market.
I got the same problems with my screen only when OC speed is below 245MHZ. Make sure you have got min 384MHZ in sleep mode.
oh ok..
i downloaded the battery indicator but last time i had the percentage showing ion the regular battery symbol in the notification bar. now there are 2 battery icons :/ ..
i'm able to do this in cyanogens roms.. but havent tried on sense-roms, actually..
in cyanogen-roms it's located in spare parts
ok i found it in spare parts after all.. the thing is, spare parts is in the new rom i have (i think its ezhero) in the settings menu. but u can also download spare parts form the market which i did. and in the market version are a few options missing it seems.. well, thanks guys..

Battery Percentage

Anyone know how to enable battery percentage?
Mines just shows the battery but it does show the percentage when I'm charging the phone.
I want it to show permanently. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Phone is unlocked and rooted

There's a button for that.
Is there a different mod (ADB?) or app that shows battery percentage next to the battery? Perhaps there's a Nexus Trickster mod or something I'm overlooking? The app for non rooted phones is hard to see the numbers after 60% . I'd like to see something that has a 99% next to the battery and is the same size as the clock text.
If you are stocked and rooted check this thread out. Right now it just adds the battery percentage next to the battery, but by reading through the thread you will see there are going to be a lot more options added. http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/themes-apps/modpack-mcr-modpack-nexus-6-r1-t2996168
