I just installed pocket plus 3.1.2 on my Cingular 8125.
Works great, but has anyone noticed little grey bars across the very top of their screen?
They appear above the bar of the start menu, but not over the windows icon in the top left.
I uninstalled pocket plus and they disappear, reinstall it and they're there again.
It almost looks like the screen is mis-aligned or something.
Can anyone help?
thatd be a battery meter.. lol
That is the indicator to show the battery status.as the battery gets decreases ,so does that bar and now that you know and find it useful you can keep or uncheck the option by going to the settings by clicking the spb plus icon on the left side of today plugin then uncheck ` task bar battery indicator' or something like that option .
thanks guys, I feel so stupid........
appreciate your responses!

Haha jeffreyapierce don't worry I thought the same thing when I installed it. As a matter of fact, I uninstalled it because of that bar and just realized like last month the bar is a battery meter and can be turned off.
Oh that's what that thing is. Been wondering that myself..... :roll:
At least I now know I can turn it off!!!!
I'll cough to not knowing that as well!
Thanks guys.
My unenlightenment went the other way. I once installed batti and could not find the bar. My battery was fully charged and my today plugin at the time was of the same color as the batti bar. I actually uninstalled and then reinstalled it trying to find the "bar" at the top of my screen. It wasn't until my battery drained a bit before I was able to see it. cough cough
got me too
when I first saw it I thought it was some kind of screen glitch. you are not alone.
I just find it amusing so many people didnt know what they were!

Hi,
I've been using the 1.2 Special Edition ROM for quite some time now, and have just been using my device to test some battery monitoring code for a project.
Anyhow, I notice that my battery is always reading as 100% in the power settings app. although the blue bar doesn't relate in anyway to the value reading.
in otherwords, at 50% power, the blue bar is half way, but the device still says "100%".... When I noticed this I realised I havn't received any low power messages since upgrading my ROM.
Has anyone else experienced this?
On a totally different topic, I've seen a few comments about welcome.exe and not wanting to learn to cut and paste every time you reset. when you get to the tutorial page, hold down the action button, and tap and hold on the title bar, it will skip the tutorial.
..Chuck..
That 100% doesn't change, its to tell you that when the bar is full its at 100%. An indication which way the bar should fill up sort of thing.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeh, color me stupid Battery Monitor was showing 100% as well, but a soft reset fixed that up pretty smartly, but yeh, the power app thing... argh, dumb.

Ive got an O2 XDA which im using in Corporate mode. So it doesnt have any of the O2 customisations.
Im positive tho that it had a battery indicator on the home page.
This has now disapeared, any ideas ?
as i dont really have a clue when its running out
SPB gprs monitor will show 3 levels in it's icon, and battery is one of the default choices. Monitoring bandwidth usage is essential for me as I pay when I go over 40MB/month.
When tapped, the popup show the exact percentage, but you get the general idea all the time from the small icon one.
Same here, I suspect it is something to do with spb GPRS, always seems to mess the Today screen icons up.
ok i will check that out.
I dont think im running anything on there to monitor GPRS tho.
Have you looked down the back of the sofa?
Hi, i got a problem with my Xperia and was wondering if im the only one... Its not major but its getting on my nerves... I get 2 battery indicators on my title bar... one next to the task manager (normal), and one on the leftmost side of any other icons present at any moment (bluetooth, wifi, etc)! I have SPB pocketplus installed (if it makes a difference i dont know), however i dont think this is the problem because when i restart my device, the second indicator is on the screen before pocketplus loads....
Anybody know what to do?
P.S Sometimes when i reset the phone, take out the battery for a while and pray it goes away.. but then after a while it comes back on!
This sounds like a software issue.
SPB PocketPlus includes a taskbar battery indicator. You need to turn this option off in from the systems tab under settings.
I've lost some indicators!
The sound/volume indicator and the battery indicator appear to be blocked by some blue bar the same colour as the Start bar. It seems to be on top of the indicators. If I click where the indicators are, they work, but still remain hidden. It also covers half of my signal indicator.
I am not running any tweaks and have not changed the ROM either. Software is nothing more unusual than a few commercial games and Opera mobile. Nothing fishy there.
I have tried changing the orientation of the screen, but it's the same problem. It also happens away from the Today screen. Even in the messaging app.
Help! Please!
Hello everyone, just received my essential phone couple of day ago. So far so good, but I have just a little issue that could sound a bit stupid but is driving me crazy: in my status bar the wifi icon and the data icon are inverted and I wasn't able to figure out why they switched position and how to restore it without a reset of the phone. Just take a look at the screenshot attached. Anyone know the solution? Thx
Inverted? Looks the same as mine.
When demo mode is ON you can see in the status bar that the icon are in the correct position (screenshot), just as any other Android device I have always used, don't know if it is an Android Pie change or it is just on Essential PH-1. It was just a matter of habit, good to know that is not an isolated bug, thank you for the answer.
I didn't notice mine inverted until the Pie upgrade. There is no changing it bruh. Drove me crazy too when I noticed it one day.
