is there any way to disable the led indicator for atom life? I'm really having some problems with my battery these days, and until I can't get a better one, I kind of wanted to have my phone at its maximum power-saver settings.
Thank you

On the XDA2i, I've been having the small problem of running out of battey since i use it for phone calls.
But, unlike normal mobile phones, the XDA2i doesn't give audio warnings when low on battery, so i find that i end up with a dead phone when i need to make a call.
Is there any settings to enable audio warnings on low battery, or any good utilities which will allow this?
Thanks.
Have you tried Spb Pocket Plus?
It shows a battery meter on screen all the time.
You are also supposed to be able to change the settings in your phone at Alerts to warn you of low battery.
To answer the subject of this post: KBattery is a good, free battery charge monitor, I use it all the time. It sits in the menu bar at the top, where the clock is. Though if you have O2 Active installed, it has a battery monitor on the Today screen. But you've removed that already, haven't you?
As for audible alerts, I don't know how you would configure those. I tend to get a warning (text bubble tooltip style dialog and a two tone noise) from the phone when I reach 20% battery, and a bit later (I'm not sure what percentage of battery left triggers it) I am also warned when the battery is really low, I believe it's around 5%, and it cuts power to the SD card.
I've noticed that various functions shut down when battery runs low, but i dont seem to get any audio alerts. Now and then, the XDA can sit in my pocket for a few days so i might not open it up just to check on the battery level. Therefore, the battery gets drained and i would need to restore a backup.
If anyone knows how to access the setting to turn the audio warning on and off, please can you let me know.
Thanks
Here is a niceone indicator.

Should do the job.
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.
is there a way to check the amount of battery remaining, either in percent or time left. when i go to settings->about phone->status, it just says not charging, i can also go to battery use under about phone but that doesnt tell me the remaining percent or time left. if i need an app from the market recommend any?
also, is there a quick way to toggle between having sound on w/ no vibrate and sound off with vibration of calls AND text messages? again if i need an app recommend any?
thats all i have so far, just trialing this out, only had it for 3 days now, gps is spotty so far but other than that its a beast
Battery Indicator for battery
AudioManager for audio in general. I thought I remembered seeing a setting that lets you tie both call volume and notification volume to the same slider. But I don't see it right now.
On a related note though, while battery indicator is great, can you get rid of the default battery indicator so there isn't 2 of them?

Getting rid of the default battery icon involves changing the framework. This is the link to a mod that will change the default battery icon to a percentage.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=793805
But you have to be using a de-odexed ROM for it to work. If you ask some of the Theme'rs, they might be able to explain how to get rid of the default battery icon.
i got an unmodded and locked TMOUS hd2. i'm new to modding. is it possible to remove any unnecessary background daemons or services in order to save battery life? if so, how?
All you need to do is disable them - or try a custom rom there are minimal roms out there for you. They have great battery life and speed.
If however your battery life is the issue, just disable BT, 3G, internet and reduce your screen time to a minimum, that will have a big effect on the battery

Hey there from France,
I have a quick question for you all S edge+ owners.
Very happy with it, but I'd like to tweak some battery saving features. In that respect, what does the regular (not "Ultra") Battery Saving mode exactly do once tunred on?
There is a brief description of course, but I was wondering if it does such stuff as "limit background data", or resorts to location pinging less often, other than the basic "reduce CPU".
Thanks in advance !
well
When i turn on the battery saver, my phone has some lag issues and the brightness turn into lowest, but it seems that the battery is not improve.
