The battery indicator strip (the thin line going from red on the left, to yellow, to green on the right) on top of my screen keeps disappearing and I can't figure out why. I like being able to tell how much charge I have left.
The only way I can bring it back, is by doing a backup restore, but then, after a few days, or weeks, it just disappears again.
I am using Dr Puttingham's Cingular ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=62383) and a ClassicBlack theme (it doesn't matter what theme I chose, the Battery Strip is gone in all of them.)
Any ideas?

Use programm called BATTI, works like a charm, has also ALWAYS ON TOP option so its displayed everywhere... love that app and i assure you it does not have any memory leaks or whatsoever on WM6, was using it on clean install and no problems at all
hey guys, all of sudden I noticed that my top task bar is now bigger. theres the normal start button on the top left, and another start to the right. the problem is now I can't see my volume, signal, etc. also, now that I have PIE open, it says internet explorer in the top left where start was... ekh this is annoying, how do I get rid of this? thanks

I fill stupid, about a year ago I installed a battery status bar that is displayed at the top of the screen (above the start menu). It goes from green to red and shows the status of your battery. I believe you were able to change the battery status to memory, SD card etc.. anyway I accidentally pressed it and hit "none" when asked which status it would like me to show. After hitting it the battery status bar disappeared like it was suppose to.
I looked everywhere in my tilt, can not find the program to turn it back on. Does anyone know what little program this is, and were it may be located on my tilt. I can not figure how to turn it on.
Any help!!
Sounds like one of the functions of iLauncher. Is that something you have installed?
You can always look in Setting, System, Remove Programs to see everything you have installed.
I think the application is Batti?

Good luck
Edit: Reinstalling the cab will get it back for you!

Or go into File Explorer> My Device or Storage Card> program files. I have found many aprogram I thought long gone there, sitting just switched off or unloaded.
Could be in windows\startup folder. Depends on if it starts automatically or if you have to start it after a soft reset. I have one called Vistahide battery guage that I like. Just shows battery status at the top, green yellow orange red type of thing. doesn't take up space.
Kyphur, you got it! Thanks for the replys guys, it was in iLauncher!
Hi, I have a problem with my sony z3 compact, the notification dropdown dropsdown often with a very light tap.
It's so sensitive that the notification bar drops often by itself by tapping apps buttons which are at the top of the screen (back in gmail, whatsapp etc.)
Try it for yourself by tapping lightly at the base of the "o" on the sony logo.
is this a hardware fault with my unit or does your z3 compact do the same?

I think it's meant to behave that way.
Do you sometimes have the problem where home screens, pictures, etc bounce back unintended when you swipe through them?

I made a video illustrating the issue:
http://youtu.be/YOXADb5NgPI
I suppose it is a software choice rather than a hardware one, however my samsung S4 and my old experia ray don't behave this way. You must slide the finger vertically over a portion of the screen to enable the notification dropdown, tapping would not automatically drop down the full notification screen. To me this sounds like a problem because it makes it hard to click buttons at the top of the screen most as of the time the damned notification menu drops down covering the whole screen.
I searched for an option under settings to change the notification settings but either I can't find it or there isn't anything to change it from tap to slide.
Regarding your question I'm not sure, I don't think so. The only issue I noticed (aside from the notification dropdown activated by tap (really annoying) is the camera:
If you set a lock option and unlock the phone by using the camera icon, and then you change the camera mode the phone locks itself again. Basically the 'unlock using the camera icon' let's you take pictures with the selected camera mode without unlocking the phone, but you still have to unlock the phone to use any other phone feature.

It does that for me as well, I think it's normal for this device, maybe Sony programmed it that way.

Thanks for the fast reply, don't you find that the statusbar drops down accidentally too often when navigating the top portion of the screen? it's a bit annoying IMHO (or perhaps I have big hands )
I'll need to check in the play store to see whether there are apps that let you change the way the notification bar is activated
It hasn't bothered me, so far.
Though I just checked on my Xperia Z2 Tablet and it doesn't behave that way on that one. Maybe the Z3C's touch screen is just too sensitive, as a side effect of the technology that makes the glove mode possible?

Has this never happened to you with this phone? Mostly when using it with one hand only.

No it hasn't (but I need to pay more attention when using a single hand, will get back to you ). I tend to use two hands because, being the device so smooth I need to be careful and fight gravity quite a lot, I managed to almost drop it two times as it tends to slide from my hand

Alright. Which firmware version is yours on, by the way?
It is sensitive, although for me it took me until now to see, I guess I don't tend to touch the very top of the screen.

where do I find the firwmare version?
p.s.
Did you find a way to move apps to the sdcard? I can't seem to find an option to do so under settings apps.
Same
I have the same Problem with the sensitive notification menu... just lightliy tap anywhere close to it and it springs down and covers the whole screen. Coming from iOS where these things weren't even an issue, it's very annoying. It's currently the main reason why I want to try a different ROM.... Problem is I'm somehow unable to unlock my bootloader, and even then I'm not yet sure how to change the ROM. Damn, on iOS things were so simple... jailbreak tool, go to cydia, customise everything however I want....

Not sure if this will solve your problem, but you can check out All In One Gestures from the Play Store and activate tapping the status bar to do "nothing" by leaving it blank.
Edited: N/m, just tried it, didn't work. Still a useful app though! I'm using it for full immersive mode, so that's kind of another way to solve the status bar problem.

I gave it a go and it didn't work either, sony must do some lowerlevel tweaking to the notification bar.
I hope they fix it soon
Another sony dumb crap that I hate. It's so damn sensitive that it pulls down every time I use the phone to my ear. Sometime some quick settings activated and I had no idea wtf happened.
Dumb fuc.k sony is so annoying. Even my Z3C is rooted, I haven't found a way to disable this crap. Full of crapwares, cheap crappy glass and display, now this. Seriously all sony engineers and designers should just eat shi.t and die.
I thought I was alone in this. I've become fed up in call pull the phone away from my ear and it activates the pull down. Sigh.
I'm randomly getting a split screen, half of the screen turns upside down, half stays right side up. Screenshots do not show it however. I have to turn off the screen for it to go away. Happens periodically after several minutes of use. Any thoughts?
looks a bit like a slot machine yes? I have a vertical split where the the image is not flipped, but it does scroll up/wrap around the screen so that the notification bar is somewhere in the bottom half of the screen and the bottom of the image is wrapped around to the top.
I only really get it on custom kernels, I reported it to the maker of Elite and he said from what he has heard its a hardware issue and the only fix would be to RMA. Haven't done that yet as it fairly occasional, but plan to soonish.
kinda sucky how we are getting screen issues on this phone, i also have a screen issue with vertical gradient line appearing on some material themes.
sadly i cant RMA it. if i could i would have, i have ordered it all the way from the Middle east. :/ i will stick to the phone for a while longer as i love it.. and hoping that the line somehow dissappears by its own.
