hi im using this on xperia and i can get it to show, but it always remains at full, ive not seen it drop yet and ive had the phone on with wifi and many other apps for a while now. I uninstalled and reinstalled and it remains at full always. Even in the system> power settings on the actual device it seems the power is locked to full. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hello everyone.
I apologize for not replying but I have not visited this thread for month.
A while back I switched all my development efforts to Linux based software so I no longer maintain my projects here.

To answer some of your questions:
frankencowx:http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=1477769 my app gets the information from the battery driver through standard API (system functions) same as the default applet under Settings->System->Power
This is why it behaves a bit differently on different devices or ROM versions.
It does not however effect any other battery meter that you might have on the device including the built in one.

If you do not see correct indication of the battery percentage in Settings->System->Power there might be a problem with the driver or with the battery it self (maybe bad sensor).

MrAdelphi02: Its not possible to change the color of the indicator unless you are willing to use a resource editor to change the exe.
I suggest you use this program insted which is based on my app but has the edvantage of using bitmap files which can easyly be replaced to make it look any way you want.

Thank you every one for yor complements!

It goes blue when charging, and I would really like to know if anyone got purple. According to MSDN documentation, there can be an 'undetermined' state reported by the system, but I doubt it can be encountered while device actually functions.

malatesta:Nice 8)

My Xperia got purple and not charging... maybe because I'm using a no name charger :)
With his charger everything is ok (blue) ;)

    Hello.

    I recently decided that the i-mate tray battery meter was not good enough for my needs and wanted to find a better one. After a few hours of looking and not finding one that was perfect for me I wondered: how hard is it to write one?
    Well, apparently its very easy.

    I decided to share the result with the community. There are much better ones out there, but perhaps someone will find this one suitable as well.

    Whats so special about it?
    Its tiny! Only 8.5k. Downside of this - it doesn't have any options, nor do I intend to add any in the future to keep current size. Also it receives notifications on battery as they come in, so its very accurate without having to constantly check the battery and generate unnecessary CPU load.

    It takes its behavior from the device driver which is why it will act differently on different devices when battery is charging. (Some devices report battery full, others report accurate percentage, yet others "slide" it in a loop).


    Also it starts just after MS logo (as you can see from the screen shot I have that space occupied) and doesn't fill the whole screen (14 pixels are left so the units could be evenly sized).

    Well here it is, enjoy View attachment LvmTopBat.cab

    For those who wish to learn how this program works, or to create another using it as a base, here is the entire project:
    View attachment LVMTopBat.zip
    The project compiles under eVC 4 with Windows Mobile 2003 SDK.
    This program is now released under GNU/GPL v3.0
    (See License.txt for more info)

    Hope you will find it useful.
