iPhone Battery Indicator on all iPhones and iPod Touches!

[AppDiscovery]

I had somehting like this, first jailbreak, enable sbsettings battery percentage and upgrade to 4.0 and you get to keep it.

[macguyg4]

Hey thanks...works on iOS 4

[TimDeNomie]

Hey dude, sweet video, from now on though, record your videos in landscape modes so we dont see the black bars.

[AlphaJSierra]

Just download SBsetting from cydia and then go onto more and slide to select numerical battery and it will show just like on the 3GS.

[trackrunner908]

Yeah that's a possibility. This is just doing it by yourself

[Iphone2001]

would this work on 2.2.1

[trackrunner908]

Well I've never tried, but it might work!

[hameed]

What SSH client is good for windows?

[hameed]

So I downloaded cuteftp8, which I used before on an ipod touch, but I can't get it to connect to my 3g. The remote host actively refused the attempt to connect to it.All the previous steps are covered, I enter all the correct info, but I get the following errors

The remote host actively refused the attempt to connect to it.

or it will say the username/password is incorrect... any suggestions?

works on iphone 3g thanks a lot

[mmmarvn]

yup i'm on 3.0. oh ok thanks anyway

[mmmarvn]

is there an alternative for the mac? im using plistedit pro on mac but it doesnt show the "usagecontroller" he's talking about

[trackrunner908]

Your on 3.0 right? And I don't know because I don't have the touch so I can't browse the files. Sorry!

[mmmarvn]

hey trackrunner908, can you help me with the instructions given on macrumors? it seems that he didnt do it with a plist editor..

[trackrunner908]

Try plist editor for windows at softpedia . Com

[mmmarvn]

thanks ill try it out

[mmmarvn]

what file do i need to edit to enable this on the ipod touch 2g?

[trackrunner908]

well thats a bit harder because the ipod touch 2g does not have a usage menu under general in the settings app. i don have an ipt, but ive heard of people getting it to work by editing another file. google "battery percentage on ipod touch" and click the mac rumors one titled "ipod touch battery percentage (like 3gs)".

[dubjo70]

Hey thanks for that! I only had one problem and I figured it out pretty quickly though. The M68AP file is the correct file for both generations.

[trackrunner908]

Well actually the n82ap (3g) includes the m68ap(2g) file. So in theory you could edit the 2g and it would be included in the 3g. Anyways glad it worked for you!

[fkna]

Thank you so much.

[ashmee2k]

I am using windows so which plist editor should I use to amend the file M68AP

[Xaephentheus]

The phone gets stuck in restore mode, and iTunes eventually reports an error. When I do a standard restore, the phone restores and reboots properly.

[Xaephentheus]

I just tried to restore from the iPhone 1,2 .ipsw file linked in the description and my phone seems to get stuck at "preparing to restore". I'm using an iPhone 3G and the newest version of iTunes on a mac.  Any tips?

[trackrunner908]

Hey man sorry about the failed restore. I don't have a 3g so it's not tested. I'll make sure to fix it. Sorry about your troubles

[wilsonfkp]

is it possible to upload the file to another source? i can't get access to megaupload, poor me

[trackrunner908]

uh sure...3g or 2g and which site would u like?

[wilsonfkp]

i'd like to have the 3G, zshare or rapidshare should be fine with me, thx

[trackrunner908]

alright ill send you a pm when its finished uploading.

[wilsonfkp]

thank you so much, i haven't done JB before so i have no idea how to work with it, thanks a lot

[trackrunner908]

its a jailbroken file, it just doesnt have cydia or installer, whcih are the programs that let you install 3rd party programs, but they seem to cause system stability problems, so some people would rather not have them.on windows just hold shift i believe and click resotore at the same time, then browse for file. on mac i think its control or command or one of those. it might not work so do this at your own risk.

[wilsonfkp]

that's great, i just wanted to have the % indicator

[magichabs3921]

help for ipod touch first gen on windows ? when i click on the plist file it brings up some weird text not anything like you

[dontwalkhand]

You need a Mac

[Cauxidy]

works great on my first generation iPod touch, thanks!

[maudeleon]

i'm on a mac, it opens with text edit, where is the plist editor?

[trackrunner908]

When you install xcode it should be there. You might be able to do the edit in TextEdit

[maudeleon]

thanks a bunch

[trackrunner908]

if you dont get it, i can send the file to an email for you.

[maudeleon]

problem solved! thanks anyway

[trackrunner908]

alright cool. it work for you?

[misshaylee13]

does it come with a lighter thing or do you have to pay for it?

[trackrunner908]

lol uhh u mean the app? the flame one...i forget what its called but its free from the app store

[misshaylee13]

crapy vido

[trackrunner908]

thanks dude! well it was taken with an iphone 3gs in portrait mode...but hey i was posted on gizmodo

[hassan02126]

i am on pc i got the editor but where to type in the file or how to create gas-gauge-battery or to type inside the file

[trackrunner908]

I'm away. When I get home I'll take a look and get back with you on it

[nikesock]

After doing some Google-ing I downloaded the iPod robot plist editor for windows, but I don't see anything at all like the interface you were shown for yours with the Boolean check-boxes and such. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[trackrunner908]

i sent you a pm

[nikesock]

Hey, I'm trying to do this on my PC (win 7) and I am using winSCP instead of cyberduck. I can follow you right up til the part where you do something to M68AP.plist. What exatly did you do to that file? BTW I have the 3g so I'm assuming I;ll do the same thing, just to N82AP.plist. Any suggestions?

[weeknight74]

YEAHHH ALEX THATS MY BOY!!

[jonnberg]

Huh. There is no usage option on a touch2g. Any ideas?

[MrGambittheworm]

For non jailbroken phones there is an app called myBatteryLife which will allow you to view your battery life and logs much easier.

[trackrunner908]

yeah...meh. not as much fun

[sriks99]

Jus Tried it on the iPhone 3G , works perfect , used the N82AP.plist file ,

wasnt able to get a good plist editor for windows , so did the process on mac ,

[trackrunner908]

glad it worked for you.

[twistfunk]

nice vid. I use SBSettings to do the same thing, but it seems like it's been making my iPhone 3G run really slow. mainly the messages app. anyone else having that problem with jailbroken apps that use mobile substrate?

[trackrunner908]

yeah man my first gen was jailbroken, my 3g was not, and my 3gs of course isnt. it seems to make everything run slower and makes it less stable in my opinion.

[twistfunk]

apps like cycorder and others that don't use mobile substrate seem to be fine, but SBSettings, Winterboard, and 5 Column Dock cause slowness, and overall wackness.

[trackrunner908]

yeah and if i remember correctly wasnt mobile substrate the problem with skype when it first came out? with all the crashing, and cydia had the update for it. its just not stable. some cool apps like terminal and openssh are nice to have though

[tango646]

damn this portrait mode is getting on my nerves. that said i have that battery indicator and my phone is just regular 3G not jailbroken

[trackrunner908]

yeah some got the indicator. its a glitch because its just supposed to be for the 3gs.

[fizzo20]

People who want the plist editor for windows, google this: "Free plist Editor for Windows 1.0 released!" without the quotes, and click the first link.

[ajmernone]

Thanks so much! It works

[antonc81]

what could we use to edit plist files on a windows pc

[trackrunner908]

try plist editor for windows at softpedia . com

[fizzo20]

K nevermind, I got it to work with a windows plist editor. Thanks so much! Works perfectly! And to PosnocMedia, the bars are there because he recorded the video in portrait.

[trackrunner908]

just got your comment. glad you got it to work. yeah i recorded in portrait lol.

[PosnocMedia]

Very good quality camera on the new iPhone, but fuck, we are going to be seeing a lot of retardedly portioned videos from now on, YouTube should really allow another size video screen that automatically recognises iPhone uploaded videos, cus those fucking bars are ridiculous.

[trackrunner908]

yes the quality is good, but i agree 100%. i should have taken the video in landscape. i might do another in landscape...

[PosnocMedia]

Don't worry mate, great video video and not a failing on your part, really Apple should lock video recording to the more conventional landscape, I mean they dont let you watch videos in portrait, so why allow capture in portrait.

Theres going to be a lot of data coming from iPhones to YouTube from this day forth, so it has to be fixed fast.

[fizzo20]

How do you edit the plist file on windows?
