Does anybody know if there is a Today Screen plugin which monitors the charging uptime?
History for my question:
I changed my car and the new Board Computer (BC) doesn't show the time from starting the engine (my previous car BC did it). It was a nice feature and so I thought this could be done by my PocketPC (MDAc) starting the uptime clock when I put it into my active Brodit holder in my car....
You could try this
You could try this software.
Looks good. Will try it. Thanx for your quick response.
I could find any setting in this application to start the clock when charging. Only reset the counter to zero when charging.
Any other apps?
No software available for my request?
sounds like a pretty specific program you want
maybe you should have somebody custom make it for you
seemed to be so.
but is a today screen which displays the charging time such a special thing?
donno never heard about it before
nor have i ever wanted for it before
Contactor-E - it could be written easily enough, but I'm afraid I have no time right now, setting up my website and finishing off another ton of stuff for you guys.
I assume that someone's written one, but I really can't think of one...

I will try to start programming my application...
I'll report here about my success.
Some of what you want may be displayed with Beemer's TodayWarrior:
http://personales.ya.com/beemer/todaywarrior1.htm
There are various toggle icons that show: battery %, elapsed time from last charge, charging, estimated remaining battery time, time to 100% charge, battery volts, current (mA), consumption (mW), temperature. There are also icons for power off, always on, etc.
However, I had problems with its WiFi monitoring side (this can be disabled). It would detect the WLAN, but then hang the application and Xda Exec. The extra WiFiKnife utility didn't work, however, my problems may have been because I ran it from SD-card - haven't had time to test further.
Thank you, but TodayWarrior does not support showing the charging time. Only "Charging" is displayed when connected on power.
here's one
it shows the charging time as well as the time running on batteries. also shows battery indicator and device active time (time the device is turned ON and not sleeping).
it can hide or change its size when running on batteries/charging to save screen space.
you can customize it separately for charging/batteries
see screen shorts
have fun.

CAB file removed, get the newer one below
Re: here's one
Slight slip up here, this file is actually a RAR-archive and NOT a ZIP-archive. After downloading it, rename the extension from .zip to .rar.

thanks, RAR did what I told it to do and not what I wanted it to do
Tried this on Windows Mobile 5, on the O2 Exec (Universal), and couldn't get it to do anything at all.
Hi zfiser!
Works GREAT !!!!!!!!!!! on my MDA compact !!!!
Wow!!!!!!!
Just installed but seems that this is the application I looked for!!!!!!!
Whrer did you find this app? Did you program it?
Do you know what the plugin number is for?
Thanks again!!!
Yes Works great on my Qtek 9100 under WM 5.0
Thanks for this app
The plugin number is to indicate the height you want for the plugin on the today page.
UPDATE
all right guys, since actually 3 people got it and 2 even got it working, I decided to spent some more hours on it. it's quite fun actually.
so, what is new?
1) AUTOSIZE - the plugin automatically decides its height based on your setting. You can still manually override it.
2) ACTUAL CHARGING TIME - now showing time it's plugged in to outlet and also time the battery was charged for. when the battery is fully charged the time stops and you can see how long it took to charge it.
3) ICONS! yea! I think that's pretty cool, saving you a lot of space on the screen while showing everything, plus it looks freaking awesome!
4) more options - the plug can turn itself to color red when the battery level falls under a certain percentage, set by you. now you can't overlook that your battery is almost dead
5) BUGFIXES, yea, that nasty bug not showing minutes, I noticed too, some minor tweaks
Checkout the screenshots! And have fun. And if you still miss something in this plugin (tetris, nude women, etc), let me know
IMPORTANT NOTICE: You MUST disable the plugin in TODAY screen setting (uncheck the checkbox) BEFORE upgrading. Make sure the plugin does not show on the Today screen before you upgrade!
I made the upgrade this morning => no problem
I just want to say that I had to make a soft reset after installation otherwise the plugin didn't show on today screen.
You've done big improvments since the first version
- good idea the icons to save place
- thanks for the autosize
- I'm going to test it this wee-end but no bug at this time
- what about a log file to keep trace of every data that zfTCT record ? Could be useful I think.
I am getting decent battery life, but it seems strange that Setting Profiles would use 1/3 of it.
Any one else experience this? Or know a solution?
Thanks
when I change profile on my Nexus S and go back example default or any other profile my ringer for notifications stay at the lowest setting. Very strange, maybe because I'm using CM7 nightly.

Not sure what to make of your situation; however, out of curiosity, when you select Settings/About Phone/Battery use and click on "Settings Profiles", does a new window pop up to provide further info and if so, what info is provided?
Best Regards!
yes, right now it has used 24% of my battery, I get a new screen that says
Battery used by application 24%
Force Stop Report
CPU total 5m 7s
Keep awake 2h 47m 43s
stop or unistall the app
app info (button)
I just changed it to turn off the widget after a change, increased the rule scan periods location etc.
charging to 100% (or so) and pulling the battery to reset the clocks to see what I get. im not sure if this is recent with this device or it has been doing this since I got the nexus. I didnt see it on the Epic or Evo.
thanks
Has anyone else noticed that when you shake your wrist to wake-up the watch, or press the button, that if you have an analogue clock face, it shows the wrong time for about 0.5 a second then it quickly jumps to the right time? That is lame coding by Samsung. I know its a small issue but somehow it really affects the perception of the device!
I'm sure this is done to save some battery life. Only allow the watchface webpage to update if it's active.
I'm curious if it's something that could be coded against. Essentially, capture the wake event, present a black screen for one second after waking, and then update to show the correct time initially.
Not the best solution, but could be a workaround.

Yes, the refresh order is wrong. There is no point to switch on the display so quickly if the clock content has not been refreshed yet. The "screen on" event needs to be delayed half a second from the wake event.
Time for a reset in here. Members are reminded that respect is a mandatory requirement when posting.
Can someone explain me what time remaining/calculate time left option means on gsam battery, it just shows for example average 05:52, last 15min 05:48, talk time 08:18. I see just random numbers changing it woulf be better if it shows for example battery flow, capacity and other things on home screen of app,like app battery monitor widget, but I see all here uses gsam so it must be better?
And should I turn it off or set it on 5min or 15min or 30min or 60min?
Anyone?
Hi, i tried to reduce my screen on time from 30 sec. down to 15. sec. but if i tap on this feature in my setup, nothing changes!!!
I can only change the value with an external app. FW is b197. Any suggestions?
edit: solved
save energy mode seems to change access.
after switching to off, the time could be set.
Same goes with certain apps that change screen on time (Floatify is an example, free version sets screen on time to 15 seconds and it can't be changed)
