A picture is worth a thousand words... So they say. But this picture is missing one word - the name of the software. Suspects are: Qmenu, SPB pocket plus, Phonealarm, WM native behaviour. If anyone knows this, please share, I'm having weird battery problems (like shutdown on 30% and then after powering up, sitting on 1% for over an hour with active usage). I'd like to hunt this bug down and make a kill. Screenshot was made with auto-capture utility, because it only shows right before shutdown, so this bugger was hard to catch. Even now bottom of the image is missing, probably due to write operation being interrupted by shutdown. You can see behind the image in question there is PhonEx being meddled with.
Thanks.
The screenshot:

I have no idea what it is (not even sure what I'm supposed to be looking at), but get a task manager like dotfred's or xtask and look up all the open windows. You should be able to track it down that way, and remove whatever's opening it up.
Well, thanks for the advice, but if You read carefully what I wrote, then You could imagine that it's really hard to pull that off in 2-3 seconds while the device is shutting down. Of course, if there would be a system snapshot kind of program - which would let me take a snapshot or log of all open windows in every 1-2 seconds - then it would be awesome, but I am not aware that the utilities You mentioned are able to accomplish that.

I just recently got a windows phone, and like a fool I immediately started customizing...then I realized I didn't know what I was doing. Long story short, I installed something (I have no idea what) that put a second battery icon on my home screen, and can't figure out how to get rid of it. There is nothing in the add/remove programs, and no running tasks. Anyone recognize this? Can anyone tell me how to get rid of it?
Thanks,
C

You will need to check which programs you have installed. Click on START-> PROGRAMS and view there or alternatively click on START-> SETTINGS -> SYSTEM and then select Remove Programs which would show all that you have installed. From that may be able to help as I've had the same icon just can't remember where from.
The unwanted 2nd battery is from QuickMenu...you can tap and hold there to change what is being shown.
Thanks for the response, but I checked all this and no luck. It seems to be a remnant of something I un-installed. Has anbody seen it before? Maybe if I re-install the software and remove it again it will go away...I just don't know what that software is....

Oops...didn't see the jamesus post. That was it! Went to Quickmenu site read how to remove it and viola no more 2nd battery indicator! Thanks to all of you!
Weird, just posted about this in the Herald forum, I didn't even think of searching the general forum for a topic about this. I'm having the same problem - checked the quickmenu settings and disabled "show battery on taskbar." That got rid of the battery icon, but now there's nothing in its place! I can't figure out how to restore the task manager shortcut to the top right. Were you able to get it back?
does anyone know how to keep the battery icon on titlebar displayed at all times?
mine only displays on the today screen. but when i run a program, it disappears.
anyone the reg tweak for this? im using WM6.1 02 by cotulla on magician
also if anybody knows how to replace the default battery icons?thanks
You can use a software named QuickMenu.

It's a Chinese favorite software with 0409 mui support.

great app!but i was hoping of just a reg tweak as i already have wisbarlite, with similar functions but i think uses smaller memory. im only using a 64mb magician so space is quite an issue for me. thanks a bunch though
There is no registry-tweak for BatteryStatus on every titlebar I think...
oh i see. i guess il give the quick menu a shot. theres one problem though. i think it conflicts with my pointui home2 app. whenever quick menu is running, the home button shows i have notifications even if i dont, and the home button cant be cliked. but when i close quickmenu. everything is fine. dunno how its causing it. hey, thanks for your time.
I think I found something interesting with small size...
Shows battery status on every titlebar...
wow thanks again.
Hi, guys
I made a program for you which alowed you to turn the backlight to half light.
The back light will be lower than brightness "1"
You will need it when you reading in dark night.
maybe can also save your power.

The program only tested on hp ipaq voice messenger
maybe can also work on other model voice messenger (ipaq 512 514 518)
Thanks a lot for the back light program.
By the way, if anybody has post to you the original rom (1.0.12.332.04) with the bootloader, let us know.
thanks, I will test you, my eyes often burn because of the lightning display.
One question, do you know a way to use the flash led as a light (torch) in the night? It would be great to use with the hardware button.
Unfortunately I do not find a way to:
1- use the lock button to suddenly lock the VM instead of keeping it pressed so long
2- assign lock and hardware button to other functions, for example call the tasks manager
any hint?
seems to work well, but I have a small problem, I copied it in the program files directory, made a shortcut and put in the windows\start menu\application\accessory but I can't see it in the menu, how do you suggest to install the application?
you have to put it in
windows\program files\
and put the shortcut in
windows\start menu\
Hi everyone!
First of all, I'd like to apologize in case I'm not posting this in the correct section of the forum.
That being said, let's get into this annoying problem I'm facing:
Recently mi s7 edge got the Oreo update and I decided to upgrade (shouldn't have done it) and here is when the issue started...
The way I like Whatsapp's notifications is the fallowing: no sound, no vibration and no pop up on screen.
The only thing I want is this: A simple icon on the status bar that indicates me every time I have a message

I don't want anything else, but what is above!
I have found no configuration to get whatsapp's notificacion the way I want it to be. On android 7.x it was as easy as this:
1: open notification bar
2: keep pressing any whatsapp notification for 2 second and select "importante level 3".
that was it!
Android 8 is way too different... I had to make something up; this is what I do to get it adjusted to the way I like:
importance level: "make sound" (so that it doesn't pop up on screen)
sound: silence (so that it doesn't make any sound)
up until that moment everything works fine, perfectly... BUT, after a period of time (I haven't counted it yet) the configuration I had just done goes away; it resets itself... and here is when I get so upset, feeling like I want to smash the phone and desintegrate it once and for all.
this is how it looks like after configuring it in the way I like:
and this is how it turns out:
Please! If you have anything that you think could help me out with this, leave it down below in a comment. No matter what, an app, an idea, whatever... leave it in a comment.
Thank y'all in advance!!
Hey everyone, im always caught up trying to help old people with their phone. I feel like UI are designed to be unusable for logical people or those unfamiliar with the main function of everything being so discrete in view its effectively hidden or for first time users is represented By a sometimes unstandardized iconography. Anyway... can you help me out. One of the main issues is how every app opens to what you were doing last time pressing the icon. 90% of the time this is infuriating and gets older people lost. They usually have a different reason each time to use any app or access any feature, so going back to where they were last time makes the process of using their phone always different and unpredictable if they cant remember the fuk.. so every button press effectively dumps them somewhere different. They dont have a picture of order in their mind like me of what they will find a step back as the are often just stumbling forward. So the back button is confusing in general and home takes them right out and any app takes them right back to 4 steps ahead. Is there an over riding setting to make every app, even settings, messages anything and everything... when pressing the icon it starts fresh step 1. Probably better on RAM too. It has to exist or a front end dev needs stranglature. THANKS!
Elder people should use a phone with /e/OS pre-installed.
