Re: SImple QT Desktop Widget to display battery level and percentage in Extras-devel now
 

(My Beta testing):cool:

1 issue when battery is fully charged the widget displays 96%.(not sure what it maybe... maybe my device or your code but i havent seen anyone else complain about it yet)

BTW I just restarted and the widget displays 90%:(

Any who thank you for your time and your work.(I like the app it just needs some love)

Ive already reported this issue in my earlier thread
==> check it out here

Ive also seen many threads discussing this, some of them are
here , here , and here

think its something to do with the libhal implementation, but I cant be sure about it.
Was waiting for more inputs from other users, but I guess Ill go ahead and raise a bug in bugzilla if it doesnt exist there already.

cheers

I have these same problems. I'm not sure if it's the app or now when i'm seeing it in numbers, but my battery life seems to have gotten lot worse than before.

Re: SImple QT Desktop Widget to display battery level and percentage in Extras-devel now
 

hopefully just the numbers :p ( and regarding the numbers being skewed, chk my previous post )
anyways my n900 lasts more or less the same amount of time without the widget for me.
last nite at 1145pm battery was at 14% and when i woke up at 7.30am it was 5% had the widget running.( emails on, wifi, bluetooth gps all on )

Anyways, the widget doesnt poll to get the battery info, its using a signal mechanism to where it recieves a signal when the battery level changes then it updates it on screen.

Im hopeful the qtmobility api's have taken into consideration the effect on battery, if not we will learn soon and do something abt it :)

Hi All,

One quick question. I want to try this app, i did not see this app was not listed in the app manager in My N900. How do i install this on my phone?

Please excuse if it is a very sill question, i am very new to this env. :-)

try enabling the extras-devel repository in your application manager -> refresh -> search for batlevel

you can start ==> here

Seems to be working fine for me. When you get the custom graphics working, just give me the required specs (resolution and such) and I'll work out the graphics as planned.

I think you need to create a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/hildon-home to get the widget to show up in the menu.

You can copy-paste one from the existing ones, but the file format is also documented somewhere in SDK docs.

Re: SImple QT Desktop Widget to display battery level and percentage in Extras-devel now
 

thanks.
if you have installed the app, you must have noticed the .desktop being installed in /usr/share/applications/hildon/ ( as per the maemo developer guide )
Ive even tried /usr/share/applications/hildon-home, doesnt work.
