Another question...
I did a hard reset Fri to clean up the device and just install the stuff that I was happy with. But now I'm missing the battery status bar that runs along the very top of the screen...
Was it a built-in, out of the box function or is it native to a 3rd party launcher app? I *did* have WisBar installed for a quick minute, but I uninstalled it and still had the statusbar...
Using the same themes I was using before...can't find any options that I havent checked. It's not VITAL, but it was a nice touch and I miss it.
It was probably a reminant of wisbar. I have wisbar lite and it has the battery status "line" at the top.

Wisbar lite has an inbuilt thin line battery meter. But batti which is free does the same job - see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=48007&sid=3de75058a939a46fcd5ab8720882a2f6
THANK YOU!!!
it was driving me nuts not knowing why it disappeared...lol.
I do like it...It should be part of the orignal set up...the battery icon at teh bottom is too small...
Thanks again!
Whoohoo! Just installed it - very nice! (I'm a bit more excited about this than I should be..lol)
Battery Meter Indicator Line...
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't there a battery meter indicator line at the very top of every application? I see it on my C8125. It goes across the very top from left to right. It also pulses from current power to max when the phone is charging.
I could be wrong that this is WM5 native and not one of my programs: SPB Weather, Diary....
Thx for the info anyway!

It's not native to WM5. ou probably also have SPB Pocket Plus? That comes with a battery indicator also.

Actually just checked and I only have SPB Weather installed. That's probably the culprit though. Definitely better than an extra icon on the menu bar.
thx

Ive done something that has stopped my battery bar being displayed across the top of my phone... anyone help me fix this?
Mark
depends on which battery meter app you were using,
have you uninstalled spb pocketplus or sbsh ilauncher? or de-selected the option from either, lvm topbat?...
did you empty/edit you startup folder?
tried a softreset to get it back?...
Hi,
is there a alternative to BatteryStatus? I only need CPUScaler, and don't need something on today screen (the little speed indicator below the battery icon is nice though)
ok, found a solution myself, one can disable to display of the today plugin (while the plugin itself stays active)

are you sure it stays alive?
yes, because I have that little speed display below the battery icon, and it changes...
can u post a screenshot , btw your talkin about batterystatus right?
uhm, gotta search a screenshot tool yes, I mean batterystatus
found some trial software for screenshots (any better alternatives to vito screen capture? Though I like the taking screenshots while being connected)
look at the small speed indicator below the battery icon, this is batterystatus. When disconnected from USB it does overclock as needed (I run it with cpuscaler)
I see there is no battery icon at the top, however when I turned my phone on and all the options were default I had a small battery indicator at the top which has now gone
Anyone know how to get it back?
Disable the clock at the top.
How to disable the clock on the top ?
I need a battery status icon!!
Start -> Settings -> Clock and Alarm -> More tab
does it only apply on some panel / desktop?
I'm using SPP mobile Panel. Even if I disable the clock, the clock still shows.
Change the panels once... I did and then it changed!
Or if you'd like you can have both the battery icon as well as the clock showing up all the time on all windows. I tweaked those settings using the advanced configuration tool.
After I use the advanced configuration tool and the XperiaTweak2, would it be ok if I uninstall it? Would my settings remain or do I have to keep those softwares to keep the settings as well?
How did you manage to show BOTH battery and time icons? I have advanced config tool, and battery icon is enabled on both title and tray bar, but still only time is showing.. I have soft reset it many times as well.. For now I've been using the VistaHide Battery Gauge http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-vistahide-battery-gauge-v1-1-1.html.. Works great, but enoying that you have to run it/activate/install it every time you soft reset..

Just put the vistahide.exe into windows/startup
Then vistahide will start with your phone

If you want the default battery icon, you can get it with SPB PocketPlus. But I'm not sure if it IS the Windows-Icon or just an imitation. I believe the latter - but it looks exactly the same.

But is it possible to show both time and battery with the original panels? Thnx for the tip, btw.

Yes with SPB PocketPlus this is definitely possible. The battery icon will appear left of your connectivity icons, the clock will stay where it is. I don't think you can have both icons just with Windows, at leats there is definitely NO way to do it with the settings accessible to the normal user - if it's possible, then through a registry hack.
Its an imitation i think, i installed another battery skin but SPB PP still shows the old one.
Hi
I just switched on my phone. All of a sudden I have 2 battery icons in the title bar. One is the regular horizontal and the other is vertical.
I am currently in a business trip so I am roaming. I also have 2 roaming triangles. The extra one is smaller than the regular.
This may be a stupid question, but how do I remove these extra icons? Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
FIXED. Nevermind.
Same here.
Two battery icons (both horizontal) which, when the phone is connected to the PC, turn themselves into two power plug icons.
Any idea ?

For your case, it is due to your SPB Phone Plus software that gives you that extra battery icon, you can disable it under the SPB Phone Plus Option menu.

How did you remove?
If you have SPB PocketPlus installed, go to Options and remove the tick from "Taskbar Battery Indicator".
Or you can have both a battery icon and a clock in the taskbar by telling windows (under clock and alarm) to show a clock instead of battery status.
Is there a way to get a percentage number along with the battery icon?
There is a free widget available in the market which does exactly what u assked for.
Just search for "battery percentage"
Sorry, I wasn't clear, I want it up where the current battery icon is, not a widget.
I use battery indicator, it's free from the market and though it doen't show the percentage on top of the battery icon, it shows it to the left of the notification bar so it's always there no matter in what screen you are and occupies no desktop space.
Also, it shows some very useful, very well integrated info in the notification area when you pull it down including how long it's been unplugged, bettery health, temp and voltage.
In case it was any concern, it hasn't affected my battery life at all (i can still get about 3 days on mid-light use)
Hope u like it!!
Use the battery monitor already built in that goes into the notification bar.
Then bring the bar down and the percentage is there.
i've been trying out quite a bunch of modded roms for the past week, and I think I came accross one which indeed had percentage written in the small green battery icon at the top-right corner next to the time. Maybe try out the r1 cyanogen port from modaco.
Most modded roms use some kind of ugly donut icon, which isn't more precise than the stock battery looking icon.
However, i'm not actually sure if having percentage written in the icon changes much : i suppose there must be an equal number of pictures, whatever battery indicator design you choose.
