BatteryStatus annoying prompt

for some reason i have been getting a prompt about every few hours that says
"BatteryStatus Today-Plugin"
"this is shareware and you can use it "as is" and as long as you want!
thank you for using BatteryStatus Advanced!"
i have Open Touch v3.0 Biggy WM 6.1 that was just flashed last week w/no problems (only this little one).
any one have a solution for this?
thanks
DK

I have the same exact issue, it just started this morning. It used to do it before, too, and it took another flashing to get rid of it. It looks like the cook used an incorrect version of BatteryStatus.
From the BatteryStatus Author's site:
I have a nag-window sometimes. How can i remove that?
A registration system is currently in testing state. If you want a nag-free version (for a while) you need to register at xda-developers and use one of the versions provided there.
:'(

so where does this leave us

alright, its not just me. so what now? i really don't want to flash again. i am already registered here, so how do i get/install an "xda version"?
let me know if you have any ideas.

I just installed the BatteryStatusExt.1.05.UPXed.build_0290.CAB from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=270751
So far it seems like my issue has been fixed. I hope it works for you, too.

I had the pop up since this morning too. I did a soft reset, and since then there hasn't been a prompt yet

thanks for the searching

I followed the thread and it says on the first paragraph that the BatteryStatusExt.1.05.UPXed.build_0290.CAB could damage your device.
this has me skeeved out. i might just give it a day or two, and if it continues, i'll just flash to Open Touch v4.0 Biggy. i just got this phone a month ago and i don't want to kill it yet. thanks for the suggestion

hmmmmm

i wonder if this is a coincidence? i bet that this pop up is scheduled at the end of every month or something like that.

EVERY version of BatteryStatus can hurt your device if you use it incorrectly. For example, overclocking to above 260 is not smart and will shorten the life of your device. It could just freeze up and stop altogether. It's nothing specific to that version, just that overclocking in general is pretty risky stuff if you push it.

i did not know that...

cool, well thanks for that info. i have seen a lot of people clocked at 247 and up, and i tried that, but i swear the back of my phone was getting hot. i switched it over to 234, and it runs just fine for me. i don't think i would be able to tell the difference anyway. great, then i will open that cab up and see what happens. thanks for the info orochidp.

Im not sure exactly how to word this so I will try my best; My tilt has been acting up lately. I touch a button and maybe a few or more seconds later it will finally load. Does anyone happen to know what might be causing it. (Sometimes it almost freezes) Ive tried to search but i dont know how i can paraphrase that.
Thanks in advance for any help!

well to be able to answer your question i need to ask you one:
did you recently flash a wm6.1 rom to your device? if answer is yes, than you need to flash the newer hardspl onto your device by jockyw.
if not than the problem is most probably related to programs eating up your ram. Try disabling these programs from staying loaded at all times to save system memory or if you have alot of junk on your ppc than doing a little bit of house cleaning should help i.e. deleting temporary files, uninstalling unused cabs/programs, you get my drift.

Did you ever try the first simple troubleshooting method: soft-reset?

pretty much.. start off slow before u get into the technical aspect.. if u can clear out ur cookies from ur browser, free up some space on ur memory, and soft reset..

You don't sound like you have much to lose, Back up personal data and " go for the gold " hard reset and start again. Then you will know for sure whether it is hardware or software.

resetting?

recently my phone has been acting weird, for an example, today, i was at work and i was responding to a text, and as i was typing my phone suddenly froze, and then next thing i see is the "android" screen and it starts back up, im just wondering if anyone else has this problem, its been doing this for about 3 days now? or if anyone could tell me how to get around this problem itd be really great, thanks..

Some background info would be nice.

yeah I had this same problem when i was on an earlier version of CM experimental build, the problem for me was that it would do what i would call a soft reboot, where the android loading screen would appear and load for a couple seconds then go back to the home screen.
I found this problem out in the browser when i was trying to go back to the prvious pagr it would "reset" I dont know the cause but maybe you should get a Log of the error or when this happens and post it here or send to Cyanogen

Yeah some more background information would help us assit you with the issue. If possible create a signature with information about the ROM you use and any settings.

haha easy, my phone is.....unchanged at all

i think he means "all your versions belong to us" or "Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?"
seriously though no one is going to help you if you don't want to tell us any background info, and if you don't want to, then why make a thread to begin with.

i didnt mean to be a smart a** what i meant by that was everything is how the phone comes out of the box, no rooting, no roms, no nothing, sorry if i came off the wrong way
well here it goes..
firmware 1.5
and build # CRC1
haha thats basically it?

don't feel bad about it, you took the ragging like a true sport

Will rooting the Nexus one/Froyo cause problems?

Guys, I had someone here talk me through rooting my nexus one with froyo and I'm running into some problems but I didn't know if it had something to do with rooting it or not and the reason is, I got it rooted the same day I received it so I hadn't tried those functions before I got it rooted.
I got it rooted so I could buy this program that makes the fonts larger and it required a rooted phone.
Well, today I was going to try to use it as a hot spot or wifi router and when I tried to enable it, it just says error.
Also, when trying to call and talk to people today, they could barely hear me and I had a hard time hearing them (not sure if this was temporary or not because later, although in a different area, it sounded fine).
When trying to reply to some e mail (online email/godaddy) when I clicked where the text/body goes, I could not type anything 'cause the keyboard wouldn't come up. If I clicked in the email or subject areas, the keyboard came up but not in the body text area.
Any ideas?
I guess I could reset it to default settings to see what happens but it took almost two hours to get it rooted so I really would like to avoid that.
Thanks
George

This should be in Q&A!
Not dev related.
To solve your problem:
looks like a bad boot.img for me.
I always had "Activiating Wifi"... "Error" with bad boot.img.
MOD: move to Q&A

Thanks. I wasn't sure about where to put it and thought there was possibly bigger chance of a reply here. Thanks for moving it.
So, considering I have NO idea what I'm doing and someone else helped me, is the answer to my next question short and simple or not?
What do I do about it?
No, I have no idea what a boot image is.
Should I try to get hold of the guy who helped me root it or see if someone else can talk me though how to fix it?
Thanks
George

Im not a Mod, I did not move your thread.
The boot.img is part of a ROM.
But I don't know what ROM you're using, what build (FRF50/72/85B/91) nor the kernel etc.
I cannot tell you more right now.
Just try a new rooter update.zip because yours might have broke your WiFi.
See Cyanogen's or re-flash a pre-rooted rom.

Actually, I noticed it wasn't moved yet but anyway, I think I have the 72 but still, not sure, I'll have to investigate 'cause I like this phone and I would LIKE it to work for me. Especially since I can apparently use it on tmobile and att.
THanks
The hunt continues
George

no rooting in general does not harm your phone or cause problems in any way. however it is possible to mess something up, maybe install something or screw up settings or similar that could cause problems. you can always flash back to factory ROM, or hard reset, to get your phone working again.
even better, since you are rooted, you should be creating nand backups. and anytime something goes wrong, you restore to a working nand backup to a state that you know your phone was working good.

Yeah, now I have to figure out how to do this but thanks for the replies
George

Your argument is invalid.
This post is 12 hours old, that's not much. In such short period of time very few people saw it, take me as an example: I visit this forum about 2 times a week.
30 views doesn't mean that 30 people logged-in viewed it.

I am glad you fixed your phone and I'm glad that you are so kind. After spending some time on the Internet I am always prepared to be hated. I am pleasantly surprised
And yes, it is currently the greatest android forum, so hard to miss it
