Free Battery Meter for Today screen?

Hello, i'm in need of a *free* but good battery meter that I can configure to show on my Today screen.
I don't need lots of extra's with it, just a nice display which shows the % left etc.
What's available?
TIA

I use BatMemTime. I guess it does exactly what you want, once you configured it not to show various memory and storage related info.
Cheers

I use InlineCredit Battery Bar. http://www.insertcredit.co.uk/batterybar.htm

I was using Lou's Todayinfo during my Ipaq3800 days.
http://www.louterrailloune.com/index.php?page=todaysinfo
Best of all, its free and skinable...
Nowadays i see there are many of the same version from other ppl.
but none beats Luo.

show battery status on Today screen?

Hi guys first post! Just got O2 XDA mini S and used hard reset to go to corporate settings but have now lost battery status which shows %age power left (I found it quite useful). Any ideas how to get it back?

Use some Today plugin, ie. iLauncher from SBSH.
And: does anyone know the program that will be able to show the estimated 'time to live' on the battery or ltime left to the next charging? I had something like this on my old motorola MPx200. It wasn't too acurate, but also quite useful.
Thanks in advance,
Radek

In the Windows folder on your phone, find a file called PowerTray and copy it to the StartUp folder in the Windows folder.
Voila!

Thanks bsterngillet I'd just found that elsewhere on the forum. It's not quite what I was looking for as I found the %age charge left useful - I know I can just click on it but I really am lazy :lol:
If you do find any more info please let me know.

You can use Batti, a small application shows ajustable bar
on top of screen and it is free...

I don't understand why people can't get the one that was there... back.
I mean, it was there!

Why use Corporate?
Why not use Basic, then you get the battery bar, all the GPRS/MMS settings, etc. and performance is good.

But not as good as corporate! Plus, it's just nice not to have ANY O2 rubbish on the phone ... except the splash screen (still working on it) and the logo on the casing (guess I'll have to live with that one)!

Battery and Storage meters

I wonder what today plugin do you use to check your battery, free storage and memory available. What are the advantages and disadvantages of your plugin?
P.S. The aim is to speed up the Wizard, because using Resco Today Plug-in really makes in slow.

check this out
Check out ILauncher... its pretty good shows good meters and everything and also has a quick launch.. so it pretty good check it out... But one thing is that it isnt free

to Juicy J
Yeah, I`ve tried this one. I'm looking for smth with lage icons like Resco!

You Can
you can put large icons! under options it put large icons, for the Meters and shortcuts

I've seen it by enable "real VGA mode" but it looks not so good

OoOOh
tuff luck.. have you found one you like yet?

I use spb pocket plus. Has some goot meters and you can launch programs right from the today screen.

Very cute little program
Works fine on a Wizard aka Vario.
Here is a link http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=55782&highlight=batterystatus

Well, I decided to continue to use Resco Today Plugin, it's more useful for me indeed.
Sorry for my ignorance, what does 'tuff luck' mean?

It means {too bad}... Well i hope that one works fine for you

So So So So So Sorry for my bad English Friends

61 view and no reply!!!:-(
Do anyone install these software?

Hi, firstly, your English is a lot better than my Iranian! Just looked up Zahedan on Google maps and you get a big blank map unless you zoom right out!
Spb products do seem to have problems with WM6 - which ROM are you using? I have stopped using them as I had to many problems. Have you tried the spb support site? I doubt if you'll have much luck but might be worth a try.
Good luck.

Good luck

Permanent Battery Icon in Taskbar

Hi All,
Does anyone know how to keep the battery icon permanently displayed in the Taskbar?... Preferrably just with a Reg Key rather than additional app?...
In WM6.1 on my present device (and also WM5.x on my previous Trinity) the icon disappears as soon as any app is launched and seems only to be displayed in the Today screen.
Its a simple enough thing (I would have thought!) but all my searching has not yielded a viable solution yet!
Anyone help?
Many thanks,
LoopyLoo

I'm pretty sure HD tweak has that feature somewhere.

Thanx for the suggestion. I think I know what you're referring to in that app... And I'm pretty sure it doesnt work as expected.

HD Tweak definatly has this option its the first battery option in Tweak you can show or hide It shows in most programs I tested, like Notes, Calculator, Word etc I didnt run Garmin Xt or Opera as I was confident it work why not give it a try you can always delete if not satisfied Right

Its been a while since I last used HDTweak (never been a big fan of it, as for me its always seemed to cause more problems than its solves) but I've reinstalled it anyway, based on what you both say...
It doesnt work for me - and pretty sure I've tried this before with same result!
As soon as I start up Calendar, Contacts, Calculator, Notes - any app! - the Taskbar battery icon disappears.

exactly the same problem
tried differents tricks but until now no good result

That's a good suggestion... But its appeared on more than one WM6x ROM and by different Cooks...
I also had the problem on my previous Trinity using WM5.x...
I guess some things just werent meant to be!

Actually ozmoran that's interesting cos your both using the same ROM, Dutty2v9, and yet you say yours works whilst bouya_k says not.
I tried Dutty 3v5 and 3v7, and neither of those worked for me?...

mmmm sure is strange when i get home tonight I will install software so i can take a pic of the screen with excel word calendar etc if you like maybe we can sort it from there
By the way I have Duttys 3.9 it is a wicked Rom a little heavy on battery but performance makes up for it
Oh yeah i noticed bouya_k has the Dusk theme maybe that interferes with it ???

Just looked at my phone again with battery selected to show in HD Tweak, it will show in calender sms etc which are in TF3d
however when i open excel, notes, etc the task does in fact drop the battery Icon and only shows sound, signal icons
So my appologies LoopyLoo you are indeed right.

OK, mate, thanks for confirming that - thought I might be losing the plot a bit there for a while!
Off topic, but I note your liking of the Dutty3v9 ROM. The guy does indeed do some nice ROMs, but there always seemed to be little "features" in it that would be problematic for me. So I gave up after 3v7 and switched to Topix221. After a minimum of personal customisation I have found it very reliable, fast and good battery life.
LoopyLoo

You could use something like this:
http://sites.google.com/site/iappsdevteam/Home/applications/ibattery
or SBSH ILauncher, which also has a taskbar battery meter always displayed.

Actually I have tried a few roms even a 6.5 but didnt like that, I got on to Duttys after looking at what Crackwhore and Fallen sparten used these guys are pretty much on the ball so I wanted to see what they used.
I will Give topix a go to but I only just flashed from Duttys 3.6 which did have a few probs 3.9 has none for me so far although a little heavy on battery

I didnt really want to install an app to monitor the battery, but iBattery is quite dinky and very much like what you get in WDTask (I think).
Thanks for this "low resource" suggestion!
LoopyLoo

i came across this problem either. i have a kithchen which can keep the icon in any page. but not in others. i had tried to find clues but failed.

I hav the same problem.. can't get the battery meter back.. Hd Tweak doesn't work
