A good battery status plug-in is a must have ......please help?
http://soft.photoracer.net/docs/wktask_en.html
i like the battery gauge, and it also comes withalot of other cool features
Hi:
Mt favorite is Vistahide Battery Gauge.
It is very simple and doesn't take up precious today screen space. It is the very thin colored line at the top of my screen (see attached screenshot), the line is much easier to see in person, the screenshot seems to cut it off a little bit. The line starts to disappear and get closer to the red side, as the battery drains, which makes it very easy to see how much you have left.
PS: If you're interested I'd be happy to post exe file for you.

Batti does this too, and i'm very happy with it. You can optimize it by changing some settings - uncheck "always on top" because it doesn't play nice with pocket IE, and i like to make it thinner and wider - by default it's like 8 pixels tall, and has a 30 or so pixel margin on the left - i make it 2 or 3 pixels tall and have no left or right margins. it also indicates charging, low battery, etc. it's very customizable and the settings are easy. it's also free.

Sounds cool, I'll check it out too. The only thing is if you don't have it on top, then I guess you don't lnow how much battery you have when using IE? Vistahide does work well with IE, and other programs.

It's only not visible in full screen mode, anything with a top bar shows it, i just checked. Is Vistahide free?

Hi:
yes, vistahide is free.
Hi Mike:
I got your PM, here is the exe file for Vistahide battery gauge.
You just need to put the exe file on your phone, and click to run it. It will not install a program folder etc, so if You ever decide to ununstall it, you just delete the exe file from wherever you put it.
Also, if you want it to restart automatically after soft resets, you will need to make a shortcut of exe, and place it in Windows folder.
If you have any questions, just let me know
Hi, can you zip and post VistaHide here?

Not a programmer but I've worked through most adds to my Tilt. Got my TomTom working and the weather fixed on the HTC Home.
How do I make the shortcut of exe to put in windows? I love the gage and want it to always be there.

One similar gauge is LVM Top Bat from Molski. You can find it on google...

navigate to the file in file explorer, hold the stylus down on it, and push "copy". then, navigate to the windows directory, push "Menu" in the bottom right corner, and then push Xpaste as shortcut"
hope this helps...

It did. Thanks.
Was looking for "send shortcut to desktop" type of thing instead. Works on resets now.
Just received the ATT Tilt, but I am having some issues with the top of the screen showing a thin rainbow bar. Looking at it closely, it appears that the today theme does not fully cover the top area of the screen and this is where the rainbow bar sips through; this happens in all the other windows as well (apps, settings) and even when I rotate the screen, the rainbow bar moves position to coincide with the screen orientation. I tried switching to different Today themes to see if this rainbow dissapears, but no luck. It's strange that this effect does not happen on the splash screen (everything is one color), but immediately appears once the windows mobile 6 menu loads. Below is an image of a today screen with the similar problem.
I would appreciate any suggestions on how to remove this darn bar....it's driving me crazy!I am hoping that this is not a screen defect and can be adjusted by some settings change.
Thanks!
haha thats a battery meter. Probably from one of the applications you installed.
rofl......i think thats the vistahide battery gauge. if it is, then all you have to do is delete the vistahide link from the windows\startup folder and then softreset
I removed the vistahide battery gauge from the start up applications and now I have a beautiful black screen! YAY!
Thanks guys for the heads-up on this...I really appreciate it.
rofl =)))
Funny, but yeah, your question is perfectly fine.. just funny how something can be loved by some and hated by others.
Hi, i removed it from start up but it still doesn't work. can someone help me out?
thanks
Have you restarted after removing the shortcut?
Batti can also do the same kind of color bar, maybe that's the one you have.
I soft reset it
should i reset with the pin?
where would i find batti?
thanks
I purchased the phone today,It's just awesome. The screen is large,Resolution is perfect,Call quality is superb and I won't say anything about the design,so elegant and classy. But I found some issues which are bothering me. 1st-Is there any Bigger Qwerty virtual keyboard available for landscape mode? The in built one is good but hard to type fast,it's not worth that big screen size. I used a 5800XM previously and the qwerty landscape was very good,is there anything like that available for the TD2?
2nd-The last Win Mo device I used was a Xperia X1i,it also had 6.1.but in the Task Manager bar there were 3-4 icons like Battery , Volume , Network Strength Signal and Edge/GPRS etc. Now when I clicked on those icons they showed as they were clicked,like if I clicked the Battery icon then it showed the Battery level or for the volume icon it showed the Volume and there was an option to go to Communication Manager. But in TD2 any icon I click on the Task bar it shows only ONE thing that is- 'Notifications' and under that no 'New Notifications'. Why is that? I just want that OLD mode I had in the Xperia.
3rd- Is there any option to see the Battery percentage details? It only shows 4 bars.
1 - search for fingerkeyboard
2 - don't know
3 - download and install http://www.zimmi.cz/files/diamond2/sdkcerts.cab and http://www.zimmi.cz/files/diamond2/FInixNOverBattery.cab
2. Search for "Notification Manager". You have to deactivate HTC's notification manager.

1. There are many input methods out there. You can go on Youtube & watch for the demo see if that's what you're looking for: TouchPal, Spb keyboard, Resco keyboard pro, Fingerkeyboard, EzInput.
2. This fixes your problem. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=515629&highlight=notification + Soft Reset.
Of course you need a Registry Editor to do this & I personally recommend Resco's.
3. See post #5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=511560&highlight=battery+indicator
Thanks for mentioning those good keyboards. But where to find and download them? for free of course.
Just click on the start button either on the screen or in the bottom near to the call button you will see the next screen tap on the settings icon on the next screen in the bottom left corner tap all settings in the next screen you can see the battery icon when you tap the systems tab. Have an exploration on your phone and see the changes from the Old Diamond
Looks good even still in Beta http://hpp.intuitit.mobi/home
Some Screenshots from my Magic attached.
it looks really nice.
Nice job...changing the UI altogether really puts a spin on it. I like it, but I have a bug. The bookmarks always forcecloses. I currently have Dolphin Browser set as the default and that might have something to do with it. Also, it looks a little weird when viewing the notifications because the top bar is missing. Overall, I think I'm going to make a permanent switch from dxTop to this.
I love this app!

what clock widget u using bro?
The clock and date widget come with Home++. I'm using it too on my Mytouch and love it!
I am waiting for my new HTC magic and I am checking different stuff out with the emulator. I came across this homescreen++ and installed it.
I love it! It makes the interface so much smoother!
Great job and keep it up!
Thank you very much ^_^
I been using it for a few days now, very nice and thanks for making it free. The only bug I really come across is sometimes when I hit the home key it shows the right half of the home screen and the left half of the next screen to the right. I can easily move it to center it, no big deal. It hasent happened today yet (8 pm) but it did it twice yesterday.
best home replacement ever it is my default
What kind of speed hit are you guys getting? Or is it fast?
its same speed as the original one.
battery drain is minor.
I get lag from it, I stopped using it today because of it. I'm not going to uninstall it though.
Can I use this application while my MT3G is rooted? And how do I install it? I can't find it in the market place. Thanks to those who answer my questions.
You can use any app while your MT3G is rooted.
You install it like any other app.
From the market, search "home++" to find the app.
I really liked it - but the deal breaker was having no instant way to see if I had any new messages. I'm used to just looking in the upper left hand corner, not having to hit an extra press just to see.

You can re-enable the notification bar on top by long pressing the notification button on bottom. That way, it stays on top all the time.
I love this program, fast and easy to use The best app. on home screen
I like it but uninstalled it until you can customize bottom icons a little more. Keep up the good work! Also, is there any way to have whatever alerts you have in the top status bar show in the Home++ status bar?

Yea this is currently my nr 1 annoyance in Home++, you should be able to put your own shortcuts here and the icons themselves should be customizable.
Also I would love to be able to categorize the apps in the dropdown panel.
Other than that I really love Home++, it's the fastest Home replacement app I've tried with the most useful features (task manager rocks).
I just had a question about my notification bar having these weird artifacts on it. I doubt it's the display since it shows on the picture I posted. Any ideas or suggestions as to what it might be?

That slightly lighter area with AT&T on it and the line under it? That's the bottom of the "window shade" - the notification pulldown. You can push the notification pulldown back up from there.

Unfortunately not quite. I was referring to those two light Grey lines on the very corner of the pull pull down bar.

They just mark the space between them where there might be more information sometimes. It is normal.

Explain this please, because they're two crooked barely visible lines. I don't see how this could be normal or even what it means. And although your response seemed educated I have no idea what your talking about so that doesn't really help.
There's nothing really visible in your picture, even when I fully exppand it. The arrow seems to be pointing to the top line. So I put on my reading glasses and my 20X magnifier (the one I use for working on microcircuits) and looked at my screen. Nothing there but the top line, an area slightly less dark than the area above the line and the bottom line. If your eyes are really that much better than mine, I can borrow a good microscope from the university and look at a pixel level, but I think what you're seeing is an artifact or dirt.

Just to make sure we are on the same page here. To me it looks like your crude arrow is pointing to the thin grey line that runs across the lower part of the screen above the bolder line. There is also one at the top that is very thin like maybe 2 or three pixels at most. These are the the top and bottom boarders for the information area of the pull down. If you get a text or an app wants to upgrade you can slide the bar down and the information about the text or the app and other information will appear between the two very tiny thin lines.
At all other times there is just a big dark void area between these lines.
Now if your image is showing something else then only you can see it because as stated by another poster we see nothing out of the ordinary for any Android phone running this version of Android in that screen image.

You may even have to as far as full brightness in a dark room. And I know it's the software because it's in the image not the lcd. I meant to circle it as well but I guess I missed that but I understand this device. I'm quite tech friendly myself so I understand how the notification bar design is. I'm not referring to the gray line that turns blue when you touch it and I'm not talking about any of the bar dividers. Nor the message and download center. I mean right in the corner there's too glitch like hash marks that actually slide up and down with it. Under the lighting I posted up there you should see it without a doubt. Also stretching the image to scale of your screen help you see it as if it was your pull down bar. Once someone sees it the hopefully we can determine what it's culprit is.

20X head mag + 10X mag swingup. Dark room. Full brightness. Nothing.
If could be an artifact on your LCD.
I could not see anything on my phone but when I looked at it on my pc I could see what I think he is talking about. There are actually three lines that I see running on a slant, one of the lines runs through the "AT&T" on the bottom of the screen.
I think I see it too. Its so faint I had to zoom in just to see the pixel differences. Id reccomend a facotry reset, and if the issues persistent, perhaps a ROM install, and if not, a warranty exchange.

I wish I could believe that, but why does the artifact travel with the notification bar as I pull it back up and away? And that spot/issue doesn't appear anywhere else on the screen and also it doesn't appear on the same spot screen wise as to where it ends up on the notification bar. This can't possibly make any sense to an lcd. Lol. Any suggestions? And I apologize that you can't see it. It's just a photo you should see it. It shows up on any device viewing the image.

Thank you so much. I'm glad you were able to. What I don't understand is I've never in my years of experience with these devices I've never ever seen an image issue like that that actually moves with the bar as if it's a part of it. I've tried resets to no avail. And if it was hardware you'd see it one everything of that color in that same spot but it doesn't have a designated spit other than the Corner of that notification bar. Strange and I'm at a loss of words. And Romming isn't an option, this device has too many security features to warrant a trial and error theory just to see.
