JuicePlotter is a battery usage graph that combines full at-a-glance information about your battery consumption. It is perfect for me to track battery usage on Android HTC HD2. And it shows screen brightness, radio usage, charging status and battery temperature. Besides, its home screen widget shows an accurate estimate of how long it will take to fully discharge / recharge battery.
Short battery life is one of the issues on HTC HD2 no matter in Windows Mobile or Android. There is Touch X battery indicator with 1% increments for Windows Mobile. And here is another one for Android ~ Circular battery Indicator with %. And no root is required.
One of the readers, Norm asked, “Do you know where I can find the tweak to enable the camera flash even at low battery levels?” That’s a good question. By default, HTC HD2 camera flash is disabled when battery level drop below 20%. You cannot use camera flash on either photo or video mode. So how to enable HTC HD2 camera flash on low battery?
By changing the registry will do the trick.
[pull_quote_center]HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\BuiltIn\Battery\
– FlashLightPowerUnavailable value from 1 to 0[/pull_quote_center]
Just in case you need it. Here is the link to Free Windows Mobile Registry Editor. Note – this is not a permanent solution. You need to change the registry again after you soft reset your phone.
Yeah… There is another good application that installed in my HTC HD2 ~ BattClock. It is on version 1.6 now and more finger friendly compare to version 1.5. Well, as the title mention, BattClock displays time, battery, date, free memory on taskbar. A lot better than Windows Mobile default setting which can only display either time or battery status.
Wearing glasses like me? Can’t see your phone current battery status from far? No worry. XDA member, DotNetCoder came out a simple application for you. He is the one that created SpoonTorch if you remember. SpoonCharge is a small application which displays the current battery information in large text. And colour of the text also changes depending on levels, and temperature.
