Is there anybody know what software or what method can allow my X1 to show the battery life in single digit % instead of moving by 10% each time (i.e. 100%, 90%, 80%, 70%...). I've installed Battery Status which does not work. I have also install a software call Battery Monitor which has a small icon showing on the top bar on the screen.
Thanks in advance for your great help!
I think this does not work at all.
No there isnt any, as the battery driver only reports in 10% step, unless someone can find another driver to embed in the rom that support 1% steps then it wont be possible
also the has been asked several times recent, so a simply search should show more info!!

Thanks! Then I can only wait until the driver is ready.
i remember seeing something about 1% increments for my old touch pro somewhere... maybe it was at ppcgeeks...
anyways, i remember it wasn't accurate above 90% and below 15%.... it was buggy... you can try to find it and install it if youd like to just try it out
my guess something good will come around soon tho

Thanks a lot! Do you know how the software looks like? It is because I have installed battery status, not working. I have installed battery monitor, not working... I am not sure if you are talking about something which I have already installed but have found not working.
no, its not like "software" as much as it is just a cab that makes some registry tweaks and could possibly replace/add a .dll file
i'll do some searching and see if i can find it
Perhaps this one...?

Thanks buddy! I did try but unfortunately it does not work and the battery meter show abnormally -1% and there was a warning message asking me to replace battery. Anyway, thanks for your help!

does anyone else experience where their battery meter only decreases by 10%... at first i thought it was battery status.. it would go from 100%-90%-80% etc, so i opened the actual battery meter that is built and it does the same thing.. what i wouldnt give to see my battery meter go 100%-99%-98% etc... maybe im just to anal
I thought I was the only one!
I just got my 8525 yesterday - upgraded from the 8125. I noticed the battery meter "issue" also and it has been driving me nuts. I googled a little and couldn't find any information. I have reinstalled the Resco today plug 3 or 4 times thinking it was the problem.
Is there any fix? A registry hack? I hate 10% increments - would prefer 1% like my 8125 use to be. Can anyone help?

Your not the only one, and somewhere I have seen other posts on this so it's just standard. I have also tried other meters but they all seem to draw on the same battery info, i.e. the 10% at a time. I suppose it's not a critical matter unless your on your last 10% in which case it can suddenly become critical.
I haven't seen a solution but I would like to be proved wrong!
Mike
Dang, I have the same issue. I was hoping there was already a fix for it.
I keep thinking the 8125 did this as well at some point.
Either way, we definitely need a fix for this 10% decrement crap.
This maybe a dumb question.... When a device reports in such small incriments of 1% lets say.. Does'nt that sorta require more CPU power in the long run?? Better for the device not to report so much right ?? 10% left means hmm I should get to a charger in about 30mins..

Not dumb, very sensible in fact, just not very satisfying for us obsessive compulsives
Mike
i guess i will admit i must be obsessive compulsive... cause this shouldnt bother me as long as its halfway accurate.. but it does.. i think what bothers me is that you see it sit at 100% for a long time, then all of sudden you look and its 90%... just bothers the fk out of me..
Now that my therapy session is over...
Now here is a good question... does this happen the same way on the stock TyTn's and hermes? or is this just a cingular 8525 thing?
Happens the same on ALL Hermes devices, sadly...
This is the way the driver gives the battery status to WM. The only fix would be a new driver from HTC.
I think that this is a minor problem in a device almost perfect (in my opinion)
i wonder if its possible to steal the driver from the wizard.... hmmmm... unfortunately i wont get time to dig and see until this weekend
I have the same problem and I find it really annoying.

sorry di not see you message before in msn,
here is the file you need from the wizard 3.2
remove the ZIP extencion
put into the window folder.better yet make a cab file ,make sure is set to hard path.
dont know if i will work......it also depends of the inbuild battery poolling timer. most problably found in the registry.

FYI just a regular copy/paste of that file cause the battery meter not work, lol... will maybe try a cab later

also look for the references of the %

i take a look and compare to the wizard to.
We've been banging our heads against this one on the TyTn for a while with no success. Good luck! Nothing like a new perspective to maybe find something!
I'd actually thought the 1.34 ROM didn't show 100% initially after powersave though. That's interesting b/c it was on Cingular's fix list from the 1.31 ROM...

funny you mention that.. on wakeup on the factory battery meter is shows "unknown status" for about 2-3 seconds before displaying the actual status of the battery... and glad to see i am not the only one that is anal about it
Settings=>Power=>
Battery says "unknown" and
the charge shows "nothing" in the charged bar.
How to configure the driver for the battery so that the software can see the battery??

There is not much you can do if you bought a 3rd party battery - seems like the chip in there has no information!
The battery not being recognized is the one that came from the OEM.
Just wondering what could be the possible issues, is it the battery or some setting in the ROM / Firmware that's causing the trouble.
All the other functions on the phone seem to be NORMAL.
Not sure,
an easy way to figure that out: try to put another battery in the WIZ if you have one! Try also to use the 'not showing' battery in another WIZ if somebody has one.
If booth options above are not available:
Back up your device and reflash it with an official shipped ROM. See if you get the battery showing up there! It might be a little bit work but in a long run it is better than having a faulty battery in the device ... !
I bought me a 3rd party long-life battery and have no problems with the status display.
Yes, the official ROM version helps..can see the status now.
But now the question is, what was the problem in the first place??
Cannot be a problem with the battery hardware itself...
must have been the software...what settings to tweak is status is not working??

Good question!
Could have been a couple of problems: a bad flash (sometimes a few files get messed up), a missing file or application!
Just try to reflash the WIZ with the ROM you used before, see if you still get the same problem.
You might wanna PM me the ROM version we are talking about - maybe I am able to re-produce the issue and take a closer look at it.
can anyone help with battery percentage app please.
i have tha battery showing but no percentage sign i want something that will show percentage . any ideas.
please dont point me to fixnover

Two files, does not negatively affect performance to a tangible degree (Latest HTC ROM, couple of performance tweaks) and takes 5 minutes.
It is well worth the effort in my opinion though I have a curious problem whereby if I charge my phone via PC, it never charges above 87%.
Hi guys I need your help for this problem.
The camera won't let me take photos using the flash leds, I tap the icon but nothing happens...it won't change.
The thing is that it worked fine and smooth until yesterday (as far as I remember), I only installed some "innocent" cabs and the hotfixes. Never changed the ROM but now, after the hotfixes, it shows me 2 different versions: when the phone starts it says 1.48.71294 but when I go in phone informations it says ROM 1.48.408.1 (71294) ITA (btw, I'm italian...). Is it the same thing or what?
Now I'm downloading the ROM from the htc support :/. Will it help? donno yet.
The phone works perfect, just this camera thingy is driving me mad. 3 or 4 hard resets didn't help.
Try help me out (I'll go up on the roof and throw my Leo far far away...).
Thx in advance.
EDIT: SOLVED
hi,
great to know your problem got solved. can you please post the solution?
thanks
Funny how it got solved: another hard reset and here I go.
Sorry but this is it.
And make sure your batter is above the minimum charge amount for the camera app to use the flash. I've seen various amounts on here, ranging from 20% to 50%. I'd suggest that if your flash isn't working in the camera app, that's probably your problem. Just make sure you're charged to at least 50%.

this is what I was mumble-mumble thinking last night but the battery was fully charged.
It seems like this smartphone is a work-in-progress but I'm positive and still consider that the price is worth.
I had the same problem: at the beginning I was scared something went wrong on my device. Later I found that under 20% the led flash is disabled by default to save battery.... try, it's the right percentage...
What solved? Share with us!
Not having the flash available under 20% is a real pain - I don't like having my hand held because HTC won't let me decide if the pic I want to take is more important or having my phone last for some extra time.
Does anybody know the registry tweak or fix to enable the flash until the battery is spent?
There's none.
The drain of the flash is so high that if it stayed active under 20% the voltage drop on the battery would most likely cause your HD2 to just shut down instantly when it gives the bright flash when taking the photo.
battery under 30% the device wont allow you to use the flash.

If you look in the picture...i have the current widget up and its showing like 200+ mA WHICH I've heard is too much and something is draining my battery...as i said in my 2nd post i will update this thread with my log file and see if some Dev or someone else has solutions....I'm not the only one having battery drain issues with this particular build...I've seen numerous people complaining about it in the thread.
I'm doing this to hopefully solve the problem for my self and anyone else who needs it.
When the phone is is deep sleep mode. The current is around 2-3 mA, but the second I turn on the screen and start doing things on it, the current jumps up sometimes to 800mA...that is not gooood. I've gotten so far 2 days on the battery so far but I haven't been using the phone as much, just letting it sleep...
bump..cause i uploaded vital info
