Battery % Indicator for Imagio - Imagio Themes and Apps

I hate the bar indicator that is defaulted on the Imagio because you cant tell how much is left unless you go into the notification section. How can I put a battery indicator where it shows the percentage. I have tried a few things already posted on various websites and it works, but then something else is screwed up. I.E. EV instead of 3G, email indicator does work anymore.
Has anyone found a solution that works for the Imagio regarding the battery percentage indicator without screwing anything else up.

not percentage but I use Batti, and it works most of the time. it doesnt screw up other icons even when it gaks out on me.

where can I find this Batti cab or download. What does it look like?

Posted this on PPCGeeks its home is here. Check on ArielBatery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364278).... Great freeware.

great, thanks
looks great, but when I reset the Imagio I have to click on the .exe file again. Do I have to do this everytime. There is no way to permanently install the app and then remove it later on if I want to.

Just drop the entire .exe (or a shortcut if you know how) into the /windows/startup directory and it will restart every time your reboot. This is by far my favorite battery app.

i did that mod from XDA and everything worked great except my "3G" icon turned into "EV". did your not do this? and a question that maybe you could answer for me (i am not a pro like you guys at all). Just because it says "EV" now does that mean I'm not getting "3G".
let me know if your didn't change and maybe i'll remove everything and do it again. I only did the two cab install(certificate one and Fixoverbatt one). I didn't change anything in the registry (too afraid). but if you say thats what I have to do than i will
thanks
by the way, no e-mail indicator either now. what about you?

Ev = EVDO = CDMA 3G network. It's the same thing, except the guy who made that toolbar, made an Ev icon instead of 3G. Verizon up until recently always had an Ev icon for their 3G data network signal, but recently decided to get on board with the more known generic moniker of 3G. In effect on a CDMA network device they are the same.

thanks Fwaits. At least i can be at peace knowing i didn't screw that up. On his task bars he did have a "3G" one. I know it's just eye candy but it would be nice to get that back. I'm hoping it's one more step I have to do or something simple like that. I can't change DLL's or anything. (at least i think i can't). but his task bars showed arounb 10 different ones and some had the 3G. but it didn't tell you how to chose any of them. it was just one cab so i figured the phone would chose it automatically. Thats whay i want to see what "Boss429" says happened to his 3G icon.
again, thanks very much. this is hard to understand when it's your first time
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424926
here it is above(if you want to check for me)

Yeah that's because it works for both GSM carriers and CDMA carriers, but the specific icons for the CDMA radio signal are in a different file and so the GSM 3G icon will not show up on a CDMA phone.

ive been using ArielBattery2.1

Add 3G ON/OFF to your CommMgr.

Isn't it nagging that you cannot switch on or off 3G with most ROM Comm Mgr.'s?
You may use the attached CAB (install and soft reset). It worked on the Tilt with every single ROM I used and works on the Fuze tested with stock AT&T ROM and T.i.R. without any problems. The ONLY issue may be that it shows a different background image compared to your other skin (mine shows the AT&T background for whatever reason).

why would i want to turn off 3g?
Turn OFF 3G
To gain ~ 25% longer battery life.
if you're in an area that doesn't have 3G coverage turn it off so your phone doesn't keep looking for the band...if you're in 3G coverage and want the phone to make it through a day turn it off. It's a toggle so if you want to go online just turn it back on...
Hey guys. Is there a way to have the options 2G/3G(forced 3G) in CommMgr instead of 2G/Auto?
You can do this with Shap's config program also.
Great Application. I was just wonder if there's a direct link to call this app/switcher from some Winterface UI or SPB Shell icon?????? (by just hitting the icon and toggle between on/off)

Been needing this option for a while. Most of the time I don't need 3G. Never really need to be on voice and data at the same time.
Is this 3g for the comm manager which as all of you know is easy to change. Or... is this for the tf3d?

Already said. . but yeah, my battery life is a load better without it. Also, I don't consider edge slow at all. . Or perhaps it's just that 3G doesn't seem that much faster.
It's nice to turn on tho, imo, for times when I tether my laptop.
Any chance you could post a screen shot of the Comm Manager on the Fuze?
EDIT: Never mind, I think I see one in this thread. Question, why are you replacing the Data Connection option with the 3G instead of adding another option? Just curious.
no 3G icon ?
It worked with the method using Advanced Config Tool, but after soft-reset I don't get the 3G icon, just 3G on/off. Isn't this icon not included in the TF3D ? Anyway, it worked... after soft-reset 3G was on already, so I switched off. I should be getting even better battery life now? That's cool!
turning it "OFF" will activate GPRS only.. whereas turning it "ON" will make it to Auto.. can anyone help to make it 3G only instead of Auto when turning it "ON"?
coz i want to 'force' my device to use 3G only in my area.thx

Thanks for the link. Have actually seen it a little earlier on, but nonetheless thanks Now that there is also the white version I may give it a go.
At the same time I would have thought it should be possible to just tweak an image or registry entry for a single 3G icon to show up in a Connection Manager option that is already visible ... uff
Using the Advanced Config Tool method, what are the exact steps to get the 3G toggle to show up? I (think I) followed the steps listed but...no toggle. Someone that's done it...can you post the steps? I'm missing something...
Thanks ahead of time!

Disabling data connection from service provider TROUBLES

Hey guys I am sorry if this has been covered before but I can't find it. I have an unlocked euro diamond but I'm using rogers as my service provider. I have wifi at home but when im away from home I don't want the diamond to connect to rogers data connection at all but from time to time it says its on. How do I make it so that I can use the data connection when I want to manually but at the same time automatically not connect to data from rogers?
Do a search for 'no data' it will allow you to control your data connections
do a search on this forum? Nothing really comes up with what I need.
I have a euro diamond on Rogers now aswell
I find this way works to disable data connection
All Setter --> Connections ---> Connections
once you in there see if you have anything rogers related, if yes just delete that set up (you prob let the phone set it up for you when you first start up your phone in Toronto)
as long as you don't set up a connection in that tab. It will never connect to any E and G
is this something I have to plug into like active sync to see or is it in the phone. I cant find anything called allsetter, thanks so much for helping though

it's on the phone.. slider the botton menu to Settings
THen in there bottom left there is a tab that says All Settings. Hit that then once you there.. you will see Personal, System, Connections on the bottom. Tap the Connection Tap, once you there.. you should see an icon that says Connections. Hit that also.
After that it will show all your current set up data transfer network. If you see one there. Delete it then it should be ok.
If you got more problems just continue posting here, I need to head out for a bball game will come back afterwards to help if you still need
Oh actually I see it and i deleted the rogers internet in manage settings its working nice thanks! But when im out of wifi range this means i cant update at all liek weather or anything. So what I just did disabled the E and G connection but my phone radio connection to rogers still works and everything related to data will work with wifi? Thank you so much big bro!

yes correct. now you can only update if you are in a WiFi region. If you are not then you just can't update data but your phone will still work cause that is another separate setting.
Next time if you don't want data connection, remember NOT to allow the phone auto setup internet connection setting (usually after it finishes configuring the phone setting).
Glad i can help!
The thing is that yes you are right, but when my phone comes out of stand by theres a G and then it goes into wifi after 2 seconds. Do you know why? Is it using data?
displaying G or E or H is just letting you know what kind of signal the phone can pick up.. as long as the reception bars icon does not have a G or E or H or 3G beside and has an antenna sort of thing beside the bars then you are ok.
I'm assuming it turns to WiFi right away because you have WiFi on right? Turn WiFi off and tell me if the same thing happens
yes and it makes sense thanks haha im just so new to this smartphone stuff. I want to make it run faster and better with rom updates and stuff but theres so much content i don't know where to begin.

Are you still using stock ROM? cause when i got this phone the stock ROM was VERY slow and buggy.

well all the ROM thread under the ROM Development section has all the instruction to how to flash a new ROM. Just REMEMBER to flash a HARD-SPL before you do any ROM updates or else it will brick your phone (dead phone)
My suggestion for ROM would be the dutty one. Been using it for the last 2 months and his ROM are clearly one of the best available out there.
The link for newest dutty ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411707
I'm using his V3.6 FINAL (you can find it on dutty's website) not the V4 on his thread, but the instruction of flashing a new ROM is exactly the same, it has step by step instructions there for you to follow or you can go here for the instructions: http://lievenvw.wordpress.com/2008/09/18/howto-flash-your-htc-diamond-or-htc-touch-pro-with-a-custom-rom/
Hope this helps

Annoying! Loses service, won't return until reboot

I dont know if this has anything to do with the ROM im running (cyanogen 5 series)
but when i lose service for a period of time, like in my office, then i go outside on the road, it remains without service until i reboot. Anyone else running into this? I find it annoying i have to restart just to make a call
Try toggling on and off Airplane mode. Probably quicker.
Are you running the latest Radio?
Hi,
What radio version are you using?
*#*#4636#*#*
ERE36B 32.24.00.22u_4.03.00.21_2 ...is that the information u were looking for?
i have the same problem! it happened after the first radio update and im running stock rom..i have to go to settings/wireless & networks/mobile networks/network operators/select automatically to fix the probelm..its crazy because it shows i have full bars and 3G and I still can't send messages or call people till i do my fix...any answers??
same problem, i havent updated my radio but am using the latest cyanogen. i usually reboot. thanks for the airplane mode tip.
Moved as not Android Development.
Come to think of this... I had the issue once. I tried toggling Airplane Mode, but it kinda froze and wouldn't let me disable AM. Had to reboot and then it worked fine. Weird, but have only had it happen once. Someone post about this on Google's support site?
My sister has the Nexus also (talked her out of iPhone) and she's having these same issues. 3g dropping to edge randomly while the phone is just sitting there. Can't send SMS and has to reboot the phone. I feel bad because I'm the one that told her to get it and now she's having all these issues... though AT&T really sucks in my state. Her phone is up to date with the OTA updates.

Those are separate issues, I think. I haven't ever experienced those issues... all I've had happen is to go into a building for a while where there was no signal, then after leaving and going outside, not reconnecting to the network. As I said though, a reboot fixed my issue. Not sure about your sister's issue, though it seems some are also experiencing... but not everyone is, which leads me to believe it's either something network related, or specific to a handful of phones. Perhaps a swap with HTC is in order.
It's network+Android. It's even prevalent in good 3G/H saturated areas. Anytime you're switching a speed (EDGE -> UMTS -> HSDPA) all data transfers stop until it's initialized. Unfortunately it seems that Android is handling this changeover extremely slowly and the problem is exacerbated by switching towers (like when you go to a new location). I've found that whenever I travel to a new location I use an Airplane Mode widget toggle when I get there and the problem goes away until I go somewhere else. But like I said it still exists when stationary like if there isn't a really solid HSDPA connection.
It's annoying.
Edit: I should point out that this problem exists with EDGE-3G (first gen Android handsets) as well. Try to do a stream or something like that with one bar of 3G then have it get knocked down to EDGE. 10 to 1 the stream gets interrupted. I know it happened plenty in certain areas with my G1. We're only noticing it more on the N1 because of the antenna placement makes staying on mediocre 3G connections tricky and add in the fact that we're now dealing with a THIRD connection type.
Edit again: I reread my post and it sounds like I'm coming off as "ZOMG THIS IS FACT". It's nothing more than my personal opinion and experiences. Sorry for the confusion.
Again... I think the OP is talking about LOSING SERVICE altogether.... i.e. the bars going grey and the little x showing up above the bars. Not the data connection switchover. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure that's what he's asking about.

Dude... read the post again. It's as clear as day...not to mention the title of the thread!
I've got the same issue too, and I'm with WIND mobile, so its definitely not a T-Mobile thing.
I either have to go to Airplane Mode, or if that won't work or takes too long, then I just battery pull, reboot and the phone is fine.
I've had this happen in different situations... If like the OP, I'm in an area with no coverage and then I enter a region with coverage, the Nexus One won't pick-up or notice that there's coverage and it'll just sit there and say no service.
If I try to manually select my Network/Mobile provider from the settings menu, it'll error out and say your SIM card is not recognized (others have had the same happen to them as well).
I've also had the phone go from full signal to a total loss of signal and signal would not return until I performed a battery pull.

I've never experienced the last problem you described...
By the way, instead of pulling the battery, you should do a soft reboot by pushing power, trackball, and volume down simultaneously. This is easier on your device then just cutting the power. Just bear in mind that it will take a few seconds for the phone to reboot, so be patient after hitting that key combo.

Thanks for the tip man... Will definitely do what you've described from now on.
WIND is having some network issues, so their signal might have cut out and then that must have triggered the loss of signal bug with the phone where it doesn't see to renegotiate the connection.
BTW, does setting it to "WCDMA Only" make a difference for anyone?

Android help...

your internet probably wont work in android cause you have to let it provision in wm first. 240x320 looks crystal clear but nothing fits right. 320x480 is a tad fuzzy but its not that bad. plus everything fits right. 320x428 is right in the middle. its pretty clear but most of the stuff fit. i use 320x480 cause i cant stand the fact that nothing fits in the other resolutions
My internet is working fine...I'm curious if I'm getting RevA EVDO though, it seems a bit slower than it was in WinMo...
Do I need to setup an APN? I noticed the two listed are TMobile and Tellus... Maybe this would speed up my internet? Anyone know?
My Windows Mobile was setup on alltel... [email protected] or whatever...
I tried to Google Alltel APN setup and came up blank...
Hello, after doing more research, I read that CDMA carriers don't require APN settings. Is this true? Should I just delete out all the APNs in the Settings on my Touch (Alltel/Verizon)?
Also, can someone tell me about the network operators screen? Do I ever need to use it. When I go into it, it says 'Searching...' but never completes. I have to back out.

Annoying popup to "select network"

Recently I'm quite often annoyed by a popup asking me to select the network I want to connect to. Took me a while to figure out in most cases my mobile signal was weak then. I've set the device to automatically chose the network (as my provider has two entries here, one for 2G and one for 3G).
As I explicitly said "automatically", why I am always asked and, more importantly, how to get rid of that?
What good is an automatic like that otherwise, if I'm just trying to read something (offline) on my device, and all 2..5 seconds have to close such a stupid popup
Besides I remember having had a similar popup when my battery dropped below 30% -- which is where the built-in energy saver should kick in. Instead of kicking in (as I would expect), I just got a popup where it asked whether I want it to activate now. Makes no sense to me if I have to approve each and every action. But in this context, it looks like I have some stupid setting sticking somewhere, setting actions like the mentioned ones from "automatic" to "manual". Is there such a thing, and I've missed it?
Both issues are meanwhile confirmed by two other users running the same (v10h) stock ROM. Any more confirmations here? Or is this a thing specific to the European version?
Select the network manually in the network settings menu. That should solve the popup problem.

Thanks for your suggestion, but that's not an option. My provider has 2 network entries (for different bands, I guess -- check for yourself, we share the same provider), so that would make me lose coverage. Besides, I doubt that would remove the popup: As soon as the connection gets too weak, it will always come up again ("Please select a network [since the current one is too weak]").
Writing "this should solve" (instead of "try it, it might solve"): Have you tried it, or have you any reference?

I didn't tried it myself for that specific network when the signal gets too weak but there was a problem with cm nightlies where this popup did occur also and manually selecting the network did solve it.
OT: Referring to my "should" in my other post: I'm not native English and I sometimes get confused with this whole "should, shouldn't, must, mustn't etc." thing so I'm sorry if my reply gave you false hope, but I'm just trying to help you? If it's not appreciated by you I will leave you and your problem alone
EDIT: One question? Did you even try my solution? Or why do you know that you loose coverage when you choose it manually? Don't write such things if you have no reference

OK, the hint to CM is a good reference: might be the very same issue, thanks. Maybe I will try that (just to check; as written, it's not a "permanent option" for me).
As for the "should": Your help of course is highly appreciated! It's just that the wording suggested you might have tested it. Not being an English native myself, I know how easy we Germans confuse words (you might know the famous joke: "Waiter, when I become a beaf-steak?", but that plays at the similarity to the German word "bekommen", "to get" ) So my apologies if I sounded "accusing"; I was just seeking affirmation :angel:
(such a thing seems only to happen when two Germans try to communicate in English...)
You're right only Germans try to be this accurate when it comes to grammar
Which network are you on exactly?
The E-Plus network is very bad indeed but I never get this popup on my WerewolfJB thing (even if I have no network signal at all like when I passed the alps down to Italy).

Well, I'm using E-Plus (since ~1995), switched to their "Base" section two years ago. In "Networks", my O4X shows me two entries to select from (after searching for ages). At least it did last time I checked − currently I only get an error message after about 2 minutes, and no list at all (at least it's booked in with 1 bar) Ah, now: Both are labeled "E-Plus", but one has "UMTS" and the other "GSM" below it.
Could very well be that it's only a speciality of our O4X to display them separately, and it wouldn't matter which I select. To figure out, I just selected the GSM entry; before that I had HDSPA in the notification, now it's just EDGE. Will check later today when in an area with stronger (UMTS) signal, and report back then.
Btw: I'm on stock (so no werewolf), and unfortunately will have to stay there: Not having any Windows machine to play with, I'd have no fallback in case anything goes wrong while flashing (didn't know one needs to obtain a Windows license to use/update an Android phone; not sure if I would chose a LG device again for that reason and their mafia-ware called "remote call service")...
Oh, wait a sec: The "H" is back. So my assumption was correct: The "two entries" are just to show that both standards are available. O2 e.g. was only shown with GSM here. (Well, in the heart of Munich, in a big business center, almost no coverage...) Now let's see if that nagging screen re-appears. I'm pretty sure how I was able to trigger it, just using the elevator (Faraday cage )
Postscriptum: As I expected from the beginning, fixing the device to a given network/provider doesn't keep that stupid message from popping up. Had it a couple of times already again
