I hate it!
I know how long the device runs for and how long i have once i get to 20% so why does the damn thing insist on keeping giving notifications and to cap it all off, disabling the SD card (or shutting down if i'm running TomTom5)
Is it possible to change this to a sensible limit, say 10% charge before any action is taken??
I hate it too... It has to be somewhere in the registry... Not that difficult
I too would LOVE to see somebody find a hack to disable this
I'd have mine wait til 5% before shutting me down, its so irritating!
Me too....
My 9000 works almost great even with 1% of battery now with WM 5.0. Of course I loose access to the SD card but still the phone works like a charm until 1%. So it is really irritating to have those notifications...
hm..
AFAIK you cannot change the level on which the warning is generated, but at least you can disable the annoying pop-up.
To do so open a registry editor and go to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\
Create a new String value with the name "Default" and the value to "Low Batt Warning".
Then go into your notification settings, choose "Low Batt Warning" and disable the notification. You can leave LED flashing on or let your device vibrate to drain the battery a bit faster
Hope this helps.
Cheers
Tweaks will do it for you

Hi,
Does anyone know of any software that'll turn off the phone or internet connection when the battery power reaches a certain point i.e. 30% of max?
I would find this very useful as i often forget that it's on and wake up the next morning to find that my battery is all but flat
Cheers,
PhoneAlarm gives you an adjustable warning alert, so you don't just get the warning when it's too late to do owt about it if that's any use.
thanks, it's not quite what i had in mind though. I really want something that will turn the phone/gprs functionality off automatically at a predetermined level... is there anything else out there?
Predetermined, I don't know. You can hook into certain events in the registry, or use the system event scheduler (eg Memaid, SKTools). Then use software like VJVolubilis to disable wifi and gprs, and my other apps to close the phone.

When the battery of my TyTN gets at 20%, I start getting system notifications warning me about a low level battery and others telling me to charge the battery like the manual says so.
The issue is that at 20% the TyTN still has a lot of life time, and meanwhile until the battery gets completely drained, I get MANY of these notifications that keep disturbing, it really isn't handy.
Does anyone know any solution for this? Maybe some way to start this notification only at 10% and maybe making them fewer.
It's only needed one or two notifications to remember us we are getting low on battery power, no need to keep reminding it all the time...
Thank you.
It's anoying me aswell...
I hope they fix this in the new ROM.
On the same general topic, anyone else find the battery status to be inaccurate?
I've re-enabled the small, four-bar battery indicator at the bottom of the home screen with a hack from MoDaCo.
Thing is, it's full most of the time - then wack! it goes to one-bar red and I start getting notifications. It doesn't seem very dependable. Anyone else get this?

same problem with me. looks like there is some serious bug with low level battery notification. in my case, i have Magic Button installed and i'm using its feature, which shows thin battery bar at top 2 pixels of screen (something like Batti). each time when i wake up my Vario II, this indicator always shows 100% battery for 2-3 seconds, after which it refreshes back to current state.
so this thing brings the idea, that these multiple notifications are caused because device 'thinks' that battery is full after each wake up, but after few seconds it turns out that it isn't, so system is generating notification - again and again after each wake up.
I've been having similar issues except in my case the battery is actually full.
The device powers up after being in 'sleep' mode (or sometimes during normal usage) and generates low battery notifications, even though the battery has been on charge all night and is actually full or at nearly full charge.
A soft re-set doesn't seem to help but physically switching the device off and on again seems to fix the problem (the battery showing 100% afterwards) but theres a definate bug with the power monitoring software
I really want to know how to modify registry of Hermes to avoid low battery notification too
Just a thought, on other devices such as the universal and breeze etc... (i see ive mentioned smartphones aswell as ppc) ... is the battery indicator shown in 10% blocks like the hermes or are they in steps of 1%?????
Anyone know of a reg hack or possibility that this will be changeable to 1% steps???????? (ROM change or the like?)
Ah yes, pretty irritating, guess we'll have to wait for the rom updates?

There is still no way to change the battery monitor to 1% steps.
From what I've checked, there is still no fix for this massive flood of low battery notifications. If anyone have any other idea... please share it.
My WM6 ROM show low battery warning at 40% - really annoying. I really just want to get of these notifications altogether!!
One possible cause of the battery showing that it is full only to have it drop 50-80% after a few minutes is that you are using a trickle-charger such as the USB cable to charge it.
When charging with one of these devices, when the battery says it's fully charged it usually isn't. You will want to take it off of the charger for a minute or two after it says it is full and then put the charger back on if you want to get a consistent full charge with a trickle charger.
Any news about the annoying low battery notifications?
I hate it and I would like to kill it forever...
Thanks

In s-k software's sktools there an option to allow it to show the low battery notification in the sounds and notifications. I find this very useful as i disable the message on the screen which gets in the way when it pops up to tell you battery is low. You can even change the sound or just disable the notification completely! Theres got to be a reg setting for it so people can use this little hack without buying the program.
Hello,
I run DCD 3.0.1 rom on my Titan. Is there any way to stop this annoying low battery warning without stoping all other warnings (outlook warnings). My girlfriend wants to put my Titan in the garbage when this alarm sounds during the night...
THanks,
JF
Why not plug it into the charger. Your battery will last a lot longer too.

because you don't always have access to a charger and the message is annoying.

You may forget to charge it and when it buzz during the night, you don't wanna go get your charger...
There must be a way...or a hack...??
I did a quick google search for "windows mobile low battery warning". first hit was this: http://wiki.modaco.com/index.php/Windows_Mobile_5_Registry_Tweaks
Low Battery warning
By default, a PPC will sound a warning sound when the battery is running low (10%, fixed value), but there's no way to disable or change the notification. To enable this, so that it is visible in the "Sounds & Notifications" control panel, set:
HKCU\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}\Default = "Low battery warning" (REGSZ string, no quotes)
Note that the string used can be whatever you like it to be
I tried the fix on mine, and I got a setting in the notifications for low battery warning. However, I am not going to let my battery drain. So somebody with the issue try it out and let us know if it works.
well like the title says its a prob that i have and i do not know how to solve it. the prob is that when i try to change the backlight to a percent i want it to (example from 100% to 20%, in order to save battery) it doesn't show the bar to change it....it just shows the automatic check box (which im using as a default) and the external battery bar which works but not the one before it the battery backlight percentage. maybe someone has the same problem and could find the solution cause it a bothersome to have my phone not use the custom backlight that i want it on not the automatic one which could drain my battery. here is a picture of what i mean.......
To manually adjust the backlight, uncheck the option "Automatically adjust backlight".
my problem is that i can't see the bar that i can use to select the % of the back light i wanna use. Yea when i uncheck the automatic the screen goes to like maybe 20% blacklight which is too dark to see, i wanna change the % to a little higher so i can see but thats the thing i cannot see the bar in order to change the % of my backlight

reboot you're phone... is this a stock rom or custom rom? if it's a custom rom, the chef mixed in the incompatible HTC Services (htc util), also could be shared resources.

This happened to me when I tried installing SPB TV and unistalled it. I had to do a factory reset to get it back. I read somewhere on here that there is a reg-edit to fix it but I don't feel comfortable messing with my registry. So I just did a factory reset and it fixed it

HKCU\ControlPanel\BackLight\Brightness Change to 3
For those who do not want to mess with the Registry, I've added the Registry Settings into an easy to install CAB file. Just install to main memory and your Brightness sliders will be returned.
This sets your brightness to FULL (10) on both battery and AC power, so be sure to go in and adjust accordingly for your preferences.

I get a notification when battery comes down to 10%. However, it can still run an hour or two
But then, when the battery really empties down, phone immediately turns of without any warning
This is totally inconvenient, on Huawei I was accustomed to get a another notification like "Your phone is empty, it will turn off in 30 seconds" which is enough to click Send or to find a charger or something
Looking around the Settings in MIUI, I cannot find any option to enable such notification
you don't see % of battery? that's sad that you can't plug in on time.
you can download app and set warning levels - search for low battery alert in store

Not looking all the time to the small top-rigjt battery percentage status
But ok, will search for apos on Store.
Sad that MUII is dtill missing a number of built-in usability features
