BatteryTimePlus (Today Plugin) for Pocket PC
BatteryTimePlus is a small Today Screen plugin which monitors battery's uptime since last charge and displays the current battery charge percentage on PPC's Today Screen. It also displays the current memory status.
There is no option or whatsoever. Just install and your battery and memory status will be monitored. When the PPC is connected to a charger, the uptime will be reset to zero. The uptime will start count whenever the charger is disconnected.
Memory status displays the current Storage Memory (memory available for installing programs) and Program Memory (memory available for launching programs). BatteryTimePlus only monitors internal memory. It doesn't monitor the status of external memory (CF or SD card).
If you don't want to monitor memory status, only want to monitor battery usage, you can try BatteryTime, another free plugin which is basically the same as BatteryTimePlus but doesn't display memory status.
Tap or tap&hold on BatteryTimePlus (on Today Screen) will display a popup menu which allows a user to choose from:
Because each Pocket PC has its own hardware control, Backlight Brighness and Power Control might not work on some PPCs. Based on my own testing, Backlight Brighness setting works on both iPaq 2210 and 4150. Power Control works on most PPCs but doesn't work on iPaq 2210 (don't know why).
It'll be very appreciated if you could try these menu items on your PPC and send me the feedback about these two items. Many thanks.
BatteryTimePlus should work on all PPCs with ARM (including XScale) CPUs, Pocket PC OS 2002 and up. It only takes 11KB memory.
Installation:
Just copy the BatteryTimePlus.cab file (2002/2003 for PPC2002/2003/SE version) to your PPC, and click on it with any file explorer to install. If it doesn't show up on your Today Screen, just do a soft reset, or use Start->Setting->Today and the "item" tab to set it up.
Upgrade:
Please disable BatteryTimePlus and do a soft reset. Then install the newer version following the above Installation instruction.
Uninstall:
Disable BatteryTimePlus in Today Plugins setting then uninstall with any uninstaller.
BatteryTimePlus is FREE!
