Alright it is getting on my nerves... I would much rather have a clock there than a battery meter.
Does anyone know how to change the battery meter back to a clock while on the today screen? This is the first time I am seeing this, on the new QTEK ROM that is, before I had a stock 8125, and I like this ROM but I don't like that one little thing. So if anyone knows how to fix it I would really appreciate it

In future put question marks at the end of thread titles unless you actually do have the answer.
that's part of the AKU2 rom. i truly don't understand what the deal is, the clocks is RIGHT there below it. i like the new icon just the way it is.
the deal is that the clock, for many, is actually not visible - last time I checked some screenshots of it
And yes, they added the clock to the Date item for the Today Screen - but then that now takes up 2 lines, etc. etc. no point in re-hashing it
Thing is - some people like it, some people don't. The latter group is looking for a solution
I must say this ROM is worth dealing with it, but the reason I dont liek it is because my today screen image sometimes makes it hard to see the white clock, where as in the taskbar its on a solid background.
I will make note of the question mark statment, sorry for getting hopes up

You can atleast set the clock to show up in the battery meter's place while in other programs than the today screen.
Settings - System - Clock and Alarms - More then Check the box.
yeah, had to check that option in the past anyway (at least on my stock Qtek 9100) to get the clock to show up in all apps. But it's still annoying that it effectively disappears once you're on the Today screen. What if you don't use the new date/time plugin (for whatever reason) or any other time indicator? Now you have nowhere to look on your PPC for the time when it's on the Today Screen. Remember the little registry edit to put the date in the taskbar clock, with the byline "so you can get rid of the date item on your Today screen and free up space" ? Well, not anymore.
If nothing else, they should have made it an option somewhere.. possibly they did and we're just yet to find the registry setting that does it, but who knows :|

This past week for no apparent reason my clock in the title bar switched from a digital easy to read format to this awful analog old-school clock (see pic). Does anyone know (a) how it happened? and (b) how to get back to the digital format?
I've had this happen before with my Hermes, but I used to flash my phone so often it was no big deal because it would be scrapped almost immediately afterwards. But now I really like my custom rom that I've flashed...I've got tons of inputted information as well and I do not want have to reconfigure everything.
i don't even have a digital clock up there....
You can use kaisertweak or similar to get rid of the battery and use a clock instead.
I've seen this before - it's selectable from a context menu. Hold the stylus on the clock and you should get a Digital/Analog menu.

Excellent, that's exactly what I was talking about...now if I can only figure out how in the world I manage to do that. Thanks a lot.

How can I get it ?
Below i have a The Day Date & Year displayed & The CLOCK there Too
Plz help
Thanks, I've been looking for this for hours!
For those of you who dont have the time in your title bar as I said in the thread...use KaiserTweak which can be found here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333898
Or by using one of the many other programs that do the same by going here and searching...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php
I have some problem.
2 - 3 times in day after making call my DIGITAL clock in tray go to ANALOG clock!
I use Kaiser Tweaker to set digital clock to show digital DATE & TIME in try, BUT problem stay!
I do not understand what you mine whit BATERY/CLOCK in KaiserTweak - does it solved problem and how?
Second, maybe someone know how in registy can I put it to swow only DIGITAL DATE&CLOCK to stay in TRY?
TY in advage.
Its a simple fix. Just press the clock and change it to analog/digital..
If I had the skillset, or the time to learn it, I'd happily build this myself. I'm not looking for anything complicated... or at least, I don't think.
I want a simple battery meter on my today screen that takes up less space than any other I've seen, yet has far more information.
I swiped a picture of someones today screen and mocked up what it is that I'm looking for. (attached) The particular kaiser in picture has a black and white theme, so my meter shows up well. The only option I would want would be to be able to select the two colors. Red/Green work fine for me, but some people may want to make it match their personal color scheme...
I'm only looking for a today plugin... not necessarily something that stays in the task bar when in other apps. I'm also not looking for any other tools or utilities packaged all together. I just want the battery meter.
Is there anything like this out there already?

SBSH Launcher does a similar battery meter, the only difference is that it is aligned at the top of the start/status bar, and not on the bottom as you described.
Pocket Plus (I think from SPB) also does the battery meter on the top.
Good luck!
EDIT: Both apps I mentioned come with various other features, but they can be turned off, and just keep the Today Plug in for the Battery Meter.
Not only was that quick.. it was EXACTLY the kind of thing I wanted. In fact, it was even better because I was willing to accept a today screen only solution.

I have one exactally like that. Only difference is that the thin battery bar is on the top of the screen. the proggy is called wisbar-lite. In the photo attached, it shows battery at 100% (green bar).
can't believe no-one mentioned Batti yet... That's what I have been using after having been through SPB's Pocket PC Plus, Wisbar, pBar, and a few others I forgot just now.
It's VERY lightweight, and for the most part, just shows the indicator. You can tap it for more info if you feel the need, though. And it's easily customizable (well, colours are... there's really not much more to customize )
Give this one a shot.

Nah.
Look at this like that:
you can mod the colours to your heart's content (so it will fit any theme), it's only a 3-pixel bar (or so) at top of the screen, can be made visible only on Today screen (and not within apps), and has options for different colours at different charge levels (normal/low/critical). How is it NOT what you were looking for?
Well I'll be a wooly bugger.
My apologies. I was under the impression that batti did something different. Don't know how many times I saw batti listed in different places and skipped over it because I thought it did something different from what I was looking for.
Already installed Vistahide battery gauge though and it's everything i had hoped for..
I think it would be pretty sweet to have to phone go off like the robot from lost in space.
WARNING WARNING!!! THE BATTERY IS CRITICALLY LOW

Wow, this is exactly what I was looking for as well. I installed it this morning and I'm very happy with it. And for me, it's free!
Apology accepted
Every man to his own trade, I guess; I prefer my indicator to be solid colour, others swear by gradients. The bottom line is that both these apps do what's asked of them, and at a very moderate cost (Batti allegedly takes 30 kB).
Have fun with Vistahide!
Siochan,

<disclaimer> I know it's bad form to put posts in order, but I'm replying to different ppl </disclaimer>
Oh but you can do that with Batti. Tap the indicator, open notification, go to Settings -> Advanced, check "Play sound" for a given event, and select a .wav from the drop-down list. [This assumes you have the .wav ready and waiting in \Windows, though]
I used to use Batti but when I figured out that WisBar had a similar (if not nearly as feature-laden) battery meter I deinstalled it. I figured I'd try the WisBar meter for a while since I was already running WisBar anyway. Since then I feel like I am getting more battery life. No quantitative analysis to back that up though.

I have had lots of problems with the Vista Hide battery gauge.. My Tilt would run really slow sometimes, sometimes wouldn't finish booting unless I did a cold boot (took out the battery for a bit), etc..
I had just installed it when I noticed this behavior, so I removed it and after getting rid of the new battery gauge all went back to normal.

I just installed "Batti" on my new AT&T Tilt, and it works like a charm. I need to look at the screen while on a call to know what time it is. So clock shows on my START title bar, taking away the battery indicator. Now Batti does exactly what's needed!
Hi everyone! I've been out for awhile playing with my new laptop. I'm back and having problems with my Tilt already!
Somehow the clock in the Today taskbar got deleted, and the battery icon took its place. As long as I've had this device, I've never ever seen a battery icon on here. Through settings on my Tilt, I am able to have the clock display on other pages-no battery icon,clock only.
Will someone pls tell me how to get rid of that battery icon,and put the time back in its place? Searches were no help.
Pls. reply or reply by email.
Thx!!
Kaiser Tilt
Get Kaisertweak, and set "Show Battery Icon" to the default and set "Title Bar - Battery/Clock to "Clock. Soft reset, then see if that solves the problem.
Dave
advancedconfig may have a bit more options for you, which you may not know are available. In advancedconfig simply go to "today" tab and select "clock" then done. Explore the many options the newest version of advancedconfig has available for you.
Hi,
I've just installed PAC-MAN's 4.2.2. Really good ROM and I spotted a little third icon in the notification center.
Then I tapped on that, suddenly a little circle popped up on my screen and just sticked to the left. Then things becomes really annoying, because this little thing just does not go away. I went into the settings - ROM Control - Ribbons, and tried menu - reset ribbons again and again. Still can't get rid of this. Can somebody please tell me how to make this little circle thing disappear?
This little circle thing is really annoying. I'm not sure if this is the official feature of Android, or is it just the dev team's work? It takes the job of Notification center and pops out every single time I get new push notifications. I already see what the notification is from the status bar, and can easily deal with it in the dropdown notification center, so I do not need this thing to tell me again! What's worse, this thing takes up screen space, considering Galaxy Exhibit's screen is already a tiny one. And now I just don't know how to deal with it, letting it sitting there popping up randomly and I just can't turn the thing off.
Then I see that maybe the dev team has brought the idea of Ubuntu's idea. The point is, Ubuntu's idea is just a vertical dock, and the dock idea is not only Mac OS X's, but also Android's - look at the "phone" "contact" and "app drawer" icons at the bottom of the screen! I can't say this is a bad idea, but, please, give me the option to disable it.
Double tap and drag to the x. I think.
OMG it magically worked...
Thanks a lot!!!

Its a new app called halo me and jaws talked about it in the PAC thread.
I've been out of the loop for a while, and don't know all the ins and outs of Pie, but I was excited to see it was coming out and couldn't wait for it...until i woke up yesterday morning and found out that my Tmo Note 9 had installed something called a One UI Update and there was a notification in the upper-left corner that wouldn't go away. I realized it was the clock position, no moved away from the right corner.
Is there any way to move the clock back to the right side so it doesn't look like a perma-notification? Something that doesn't require root?
I've done some quick searches and some results are for the pixel or require root. Another possible solution was to use something called substratum(?) but that still might require root? Other places just said to file a bug report with google, but I doubt that would do anything.
Anyway, if anyone knows how to move the clock, back to where it's been for as long as I can remember, I'd appreciate it.

It shouldn't show just a notification...it shows the actual clock in the status bar.
Also possible with (Samsung) Good Lock and Quick Panel star app

What I mean is that for years, notifications have always been in upper left by default (at least to my knowledge). So when I first looked at my screen, granted I had just woke up and my eyes were still a little fuzzy, it looked like a notification. Then I realized it was the clock.

Ok, now I understand. I thought you meant it was just showing a notification, no clock.
Yeah, this has been discussed many times here in several Pie threads. This isn't a Samsung or One UI thing. It's a change Google implemented in Pie. Theory is, it is to account for notches, an for hole punch displays...like the S10/+ which has the hole on the right.
I never thought it would be this controversial of a change, and I imagine Google didn't either. I've been truly surprised at how many people hate it, LOL. Took me about 30 seconds to adjust to it, and I havent thought about it since. I guess to me it made sense, because in prior versions of Android, when you pulled the notification shade down, the clock moved over to the left anyway. Now it doesn't move.
Thanks for the suggestions for UI Tuner and and Sammy Good Lock; I'll give those a try.
Vote for good lock.
Wanted to report back that over the weekend I installed Good Lock.
Also, as a side note, I live really close to the manager of one of the Tmo stores in town and we chat in passing while walking our dogs every so often. Over the weekend we met each other on one such doggy walk and he had the exact same question for me that I asked here. Apparently he had quite a few people call or come in asking him the same thing too! I pointed him to the Good Lock app and showed him what it did for me. We're all happy campers now!
Appreciate the help, thanks!
Can I use SystemUI Tuner to add seconds to the stock clock?
I tried via the System UI Demo shortcut method and that didn't work. It's not a big deal I just like having the seconds up there as well. Also, will using SystemUI Tuner interfere with Good Lock in anyway?
