Hi All,
I have spent some time lookinf ofr an application and so far have been unsuccessful.
I am trying to find a clock, that could be placed on the top taskbar of WinMo 6.1.
The only application I know of that has a similar functionality is KBattery, whoch is a very old and ugly application.
I know that probably Wisbar Advance has this functionality, but the application is too much of a memory hog to install it just to get a clock. I have a nice battery icon showing percentage of battery and would not want to trade it for a clock instead, so I need an additional clock. I tried setting up both battery and clock on taskbar, but because I have the custom icons it does not work.
Does anyone know of such an application? Can anyone make one?
It would need to have similar to KBattery ability to be moved around taskbar.
Thanks in advance

Try P-bar. I have it installed with the clock and memory showing.

Anyway to move it around taskbar?
I opened it and then it covered the battery I cone that I do not want coevered and after a few operations the taskbar disappeared completely. Only soft reset helped.
Any other suggestions?

I don't think there is a way to move it around. It runs in the background, I have it assigned to one of my buttons, so I can activate it. If you tap on the upper right hand corner, it will show up again depending on how you set it on settings.

I played with it for a few hours and it definitely is not what I am looking for. Ugly as hell and even worse, cannot be moved.
Thanks for the suggestion.
I don't know why you called pBar ugly, but it can show you both time and memory, both time and battery, both time and battery percent, etc...
May be you need a battery indicator that can be moved, rather than the clock. Here is a screen shot of mine. I am using a free battery indicator "ARIEL BATTERY" from this site. I used pBar to show both time and available main memory. All the information and controls I need on the today screen.

Right,
I have a nice icon set installed and do not wnat to have it covered by pbar, that's the only reason I do not like it. I want it in the middle of my taskbar not on the right side.
Hi,
Try Quick Menu 2.8. It has the features you are looking for.

Thanks, I will try that.
EDIT: It is a very nice menu for WM, however it only shows an additional battery on the taskbar, no moving it around though.
I am still looking for a CLOCK that will be shown on the taskbar and can be moved around it, to be positioned somewhere in the middle.

Hello,
When my battery is dying I get a notification on my screen. There is a button that lets me view what apps are using the battery and how much. Is there a way to access this information at any time without adding another widget? It's pretty useful. I just saw that Beautiful Widgets was using 67% of my battery. I don't even have that widget displaying on any of my home screen any more!
Deleted it. (using the same viewer)
How can I access this info at any time? Preferably from a button on the home screen.
Thanks!
Not sure if there's a widget, but you can find the same info by going to Settings > About phone > Battery use
And I'm not sure how I did it but I was able to put the Battery Use "app" mentioned above on a home screen so I can easily access it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Battery Indicator will give you a percent read out in your notification bar, and if you pull down it gives you a short cut to the battery usage screen.
I bought the physical dock which turns the phone into a desktop clock basically and I really dislike the Samsung Application it comes with, it's not customizable at all.
I'm looking for an application that will start when it's plugged into power, show me the time and the weather attractively in full-screen mode.
Right now I'm using Kaloer Clock which isn't bad, just wanted to see what others were using.

On my old HTC Fuze running Windows 6.5, there was a lockscreen digital clock that showed seconds eg. 5:00:48 PM. There simply has to be an Android *DIGITAL* clock that displays seconds. I just can't find it!
Ideally, I'd like it to be on the lockscreen - but anywhere would be great. (I'm a last minute person when it comes to my commuter train - and need to mind my seconds.)
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave

I've thought of adding this to Chronotopia but it eats battery life big time. Maybe I'll add it at some point.
If you make a search in the market there are some
Alarm Clock Free
Clock Widget digital
Num clock lite
etc etc
Not really for lock screen but there are lock screen replacements where you can add widgets
Thanks for the responses. Because of battery life issues, I think that Alarm Clock Free works the best for me - although I may attempt to configure Clock Widget Digital on my lock screen.
Battery life is already a big concern of mine as I get terrible battery life already...
Quick question. I presume that if something like Alarm Clock Free is not being displayed on the screen that it is not impacting my battery life? Same with Clock Widget Digital if my screen is turned off? Or, do they chew up battery life even if they are simply running in the background?
If they use battery life even when the screen is off, I think I will go with Alarm Clock Free and kill the application after I've used it. (I think there might be some fairly automated ways to do so - and would be open to hearing about the same.)
Thanks again.

If it's an AppWidget (on your home screen or a widget in a custom lock screen) then it really depends on the implementation. Because of the nature of Android it is most likely that those clocks will update the widget every second, which eats battery. It might be that they have a check implemented to not update the widget in certain circumstances, like when the screen is off. But as far as I know (I haven't come across it yet) there is no (easy) way to detect if the clock is displaying or not. So I always assume that these clocks are updated all the time.
I was thinking of implementing a change on a widget every 15 seconds. So you would see: 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 & 0
I still might do that at some point, but it should always be optional.
Anyone know where the setting is for keeping the display on while plugged in? I like to use my phone as a clock but don't want to use any dock software or the built in clock function. I simply want to be able to view my home screen, which as the clock widget. Any help would be much appreciated.
