[APP] Battery Status (v4.6.1.1) - Telerik controls, icon sets, globalization and more

[bbezja1]

you have easily reachable physical button for something, but you want an option inside an app for the same thing.

i was gonna suggest the bacground color changing right now but i see you already did it. i think its a great idea! though is it green only on 100%? (should) could be at 90-100%.... and even more colors for different ranges would be... amazing IMHO. really brings those live tiles to life as much as possible

Just wanted to reply that I'm using the Battery status for a long time now but "Default with colored status 2" is deffo the best one yet.
About the app.. couldn't have done a better job. I really love it, so thank you!

(using a custom rom with a soft green background, so whole tile changing color was a bit rough )

Sorry, but the most recent versions of your XAP still refuse to deploy. I can deploy any other XAP without a problem, so it's something to do with yours in particular.

This is the only real information I can find on the error that the XAP deployer throws: http://dan.clarke.name/2011/07/deployment-failed-the-parameter-is-incorrect/

Edit: Nevermind... now no XAPs will deploy to my phone (I always get the same error, that the deployment failed because "the parameter is incorrect") Help?
Edit2: Got it figured out, all is right with the world again

Good to know

There is a new version (4.6.1.1) with a new icon set, and a few language updates.

Also I added a great desktop application by sensboston that allows you to view your battery data on your PC. It also allows you to save the history file to your PC, which brings me to the next point:

Something great will be coming soon for battery status and it would be of great help if you could upload your battery data to this shared Skydrive folder. More details about that soon.

Small comment to singularity0821 message: to obtain battery history from device, using HistoryViewer, you should have IsolatedStorageExplorerTool (ISETool.exe) installed on [Program Files]\Microsoft SDKs\Windows Phone\v7.1\Tools\IsolatedStorageExplorerTool

if you don't mind me asking

what good is an in-app update feature, if the file it attempts to download isn't supported by WP7?

I am missing something?

thanks!

Thanks for this great app! I have only been using it for a week or so...

I have browsed through the last 3 pages and I didn't see anyone suggesting that, is it possible to have "Estimated time remaining" and "Time since last charge" information to show on the Battery Status main page as well?

I know it is only one tap away from the main page, but wouldn't it be providing even more information if the number of hours information is on the same page. I used to everytime tap Settings->Battery Saver to check the hours, so it would be really useful to have all information on the same page.

I have the same feeling as well. I find the "Save" feature redundant and should be removed. It is already good enough with the update notification.

It works, but only with custom ROMs. So for those with one of these ROMs it is a useful feature, for the rest there still is the notification for an update.

It is not possible yet to access this data, therefore I can't add it to the app. Otherwise it would be there.

I have been using this app from the Day since I had got my focus and Im loving it

Thanks alot for the App and also for constantly improving it, we all looking forward to new improvements

i got to thinking - a great added feature would be quick access to the main items on a phone that drain battery

for instance - from inside the app we could have quick links to bluetooth, wifi, 4g, screen brightness, etc.

thoughts?

 

[gres-197]

very good programm Thanks for your work...)

Wifi, Cellular is already in the app (press the phone info button), brightness will probably come in one of the next versions.

my graph history deleted yesterday after two week of use there stays that it as no graph to show and i must wait some time go get some reference... is this a bug? or is the graph limited to a time period?

 

[BellPego]

Great app.. Been using it since it came out.. And can't live without it...

Just bought you a coffee.. Enjoy...

Who said anything about accessing Windows Phone's time-remaining data? Your app already collects all the data it needs to implement those two features.

You can generate your own "estimated time remaining" from the graph data that your app is already logging. Since your app logs usage over a long period of time, you might even be able to generate a more accurate "time remaining" estimate than the OS does.

Since your app can detect charging/discharging status, you can track that in order to give a "time since last charge" figure. It might be off by a few minutes since your background service only runs periodically, but that's fine.

 

[Dinchy87]

yes you are right! its just a little bit of math to do but the app has already all built in...
