nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

Ok,

The 1% battery driver for the Diamond is done. Download at http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/page/nuePower.aspx , Install and restart.

Please link to the page, and avoid hosting mirrors so people always get the latest version... Thanks!

Special thanks to Ghettofreeryder for testing it out, and to cmonex for locating the rounding function =)

i installed... restarted.. nothing :s

am i supposed to use this driver in conjunction with something else?

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

i too installed it and now my batter icon does not work and it says the battery is always dead in the setting control panel.

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

well my battery isn't dead, its still showing 100% so hrmph

mind you i'm using this in conjunction with the PK Battery which shows the battery plus a small % on top of the battery

could this be why?

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

I also experienced this behaviour (i.e. no change in functionality)...

Clint

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

Well, you need a control panel that can at least show the percent in numbers, as I understand, the default diamond control panel does not do this.

You could try my cpl, or some other program...

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

That makes sense. Does your control panel have the "Auto adjust backlight" and "Dim the backlight if the device is locked" options? I don't know how I'd get the old control panel back if I overwrote it with yours (other than doing an hard reset), so I'm asking in advance. :)

Clint

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

Actually, I think you'd have to turn off your old control panel manually. I'll look into adding those options though.

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

No it doesnt have autodim or the other setting. I also have an issue now, where on the todayu screen, the battery indicator onyl stays at what the battery was when the OS first booted

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

Interesting... Mine is also doing that. And here I thought I was just having a good battery day! :)

Clint

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

so if this isn't working as a standalone install, this must mean the new rom posted today probably isn't even working properly... :(

darn!

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

I can send you screen shots of the three tabs in the power control panel, if you like...

Clint

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

For my rom, its works in the cpl, and if you do a VC "What is my battery level?" it works, just not the today screen indicator

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

ohh i get it now...

i'm going to try and install the nuepower control thinggie and see if it shows 1% incriments

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

Just tried your control panel, and it shows up there fine (and doesn't over-write the old one). I like the charging/discharging values as well!

EDIT: Just playing around with a couple things... Normal (no WiFi/BlueTooth, but regular phone on, with data), I get 275 mA discharge. Turning on BlueTooth & WiFi, it goes up to 500 mA. For charging, I got ~425 mA out of my USB port on my laptop, while getting 800 mA on a 1A USB charger. So if I've got WiFi & BlueTooth turned on and it's plugged into my laptop, it will eventually drain the battery, as the charging isn't keeping up with the discharge.

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

ok i installed the powercontrol, and nothing still 10% incriments...

back to the drawing table? lol this probably can't be installed independently :(

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

yeah it can, i did it yesterday, did you check in VC after a restart? Also the problem with my rom is something i did, the dll works fine

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

ok i lied lol... just checked it again im at 78%

this rocks! is there an easier way to get to this besides having to go into settings all the time?

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

I don't believe it's anything with your ROM, as I'm using the stock ROM still, and my Today battery icon wasn't changing either.

Clint

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

yeah, i have no clue why it does that...

one question though -> does the temperature of your device show up properly??

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

It does if it's always 30 degrees... :) And considering the thermostat here is set to 21, I don't think that's the case. I've had a reading of 30 since I installed it. I can check later with the diagnostic apps that were on xda to see if it's my phone that has the incorrect values, or the control panel.

Hey, would you share how you built the control panel? Or is that proprietary knowledge?

Clint

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

Thanks!

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

A lot of disassembly and hard work? =p It is built in C++, and is pure Win32 API =)

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

Has anyone else experienced a change in battery life after installing these pieces (control panel and driver)?

Clint

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

i dont have the control panel installed just the driver on my rom.

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

no2chem, just as an FYI on the temp... In the Debug Tools -> Battery, I see the temperature changing, +/- about 2 degrees, in 0.1 increments. But it says the temperature is 311.5 C, which I'm pretty sure is incorrect. :)

EDIT: Ah, the lightbulb went on... I bet if you're just dividing that temp by 10, and rounding off. That would give a pretty solid 30 or so.

Clint

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

Have you noticed a change in your battery life since installing the driver?

Clint

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

it seems to drain it a bit quicker then before yes.

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

Clint, I presume that you see a faster drain since the 1% driver? I also assume that it is not due to the perception created by the 1% rather than 10%?

For anyone else who has installed the 1%, what is your experience?

Thanks.

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

Sorry, can't help much anymore. I've been using Juicy's ROM for awhile now, so I have no idea what my original battery life was. :)

Dead link? :scratch:

I get....
Server Error in '/BlogEngine' Application.

The resource cannot be found.

Re: nuePowerDriver battery dll for Diamond (1%)
 

You can get nuebattery here. It will enable 1% and charge faster from usb if you choose. All of this can be found at no2chem's webiste: http://www.nuerom.com/BlogEngine/.
