Low battery warning alarm ????

[p800]

Is there an built in alarm in WM5 to tell you when the battery is getting low. There does not seem to be any setting in the sounds & notifications area to set it, or will it just happen of its own accord.
I swear someone said it was possible, but probably in an older version. :?
I do not want to have to use any third party software if possible.

Mine pops up with a low warning at 20%, think its set under power options

Is it an alarm sound, or just a visual notification.

Just noticed your ROM Version - 2.16.9.1 WWE, did you get the XDA with this or upgrade it.

I don't know about the AKU2 ROMs, on pre-AKU2 it doesn't appear to be in the Power control panel applet normally.

You can add it to the Sounds & Notifications applet by using this registry tweak:

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" (REG_SZ string, no quotes) Note that the string used can be whatever you like it to be

The warning seems to be hardwired to 10%. An alternative is to use a third party application. I use "Batti" to display my battery status, and version 1.4 added sound events, so I've got one set for 'low' battery at 15% and 'critical' battery at 5%.

cna anyone explain waht all these options are?

I added the key, and it auto filled in a lot of stuff,
yes it appears now under sound and notifications, but not witht he proper WAV

I also can;t seem to find my CUSTOM wavs in the scrollbar??

Is a default alarm and the file is located at windows folder
is calles lowbat.wav for the first time, and when critical is called LB.wav just change it if you wanna change the sound but the percentage of notify i cant figured out how to change it...

It just pops up with about a quarter left on the meter

Sorry: how is it possible to change the file "lowbatt"?

[+ Que PPC]

get a file .wav call it lowbatt.wav and just overwrite it! thats all i can do it with the total comander program or synced with activesync.

[STRAFALCIONE]

Sorry, but the file in my PDA is named lowbatt.wma, and the syncro program does not allow to overwrite it, it seems to be a file of the system.
