Pocket Plus - no taskbar battery indicator

[terrypin]

I have version 2.1 Build 1545 of SPB Pocket Plus. I've just noticed that
I haven't seen a battery indicator in my task bar for some time. I do
have the option enabled, but can get neither a small nor large icon to
appear.

I use the application BatMon 2k2 for this. It is really good. download here: http://www.geoff.org.uk/fognog/batmon2k2.htm

Did you try reinstalling the app? It works with me flawlessly.

I have been running the application for a while now and not have any trouble either. Also I know they are up to version 2.2 that you might want to have installed anyway.

Thanks for the replies. I have now upgraded to latest version, 2.2, but still no battery indicator in the taskbar! Presumably I should also be able to preview the indicatorin the settings dialog (where you choose Small or Large)? I get no icon there either.

Anyone running iPAQ 2210/2215? On latest ROM version?

This is a shot in the dark, but you don't have something like Wisbar Advance, or some other taskbar replacement program running, do you? If so, it covers whatever's on the taskbar, battery indicators included.

Thanks, but no, nothing of that sort. And if I stop all other Today items (PocketBreeze, PocketMon, NotesToday), leaving just PocketPlus, still no battery indicator.

Disappointed not to have had any response from my email to SPB 6 days ago.

Have you tried uninstalling and then reinstalling PocketPlus clean (not resetting your iPAQ)?

1.) Go into the settings applet for PocketPlus and backup your settings onto a memory card or someplace other than the PocketPlus folder
2.) I would uninstall it with Activesync, if that is an option.
3.) Soft reset the device
4.) Check in the Remove Applications applet on the iPAQ and uninstall it there
5.) Soft reset the device
6.) Go to the root of the device and then the Program Files folder and see if there is a PocketPlus folder there, delete it there is.
7.) Soft reset the device
8.) Reinstall PocketPlus with all your other Today items turned off

Thanks nitestrike. Just stepped through that word for word, but still no battery indicator ;-(

But, after one more soft-reset, it's back! Thanks very much for prompting the full re-installation. Plainly it was very reluctant to show itself again. Can't begin to understand why it took two soft resets!

Not a problem, I just had to rebuild my iPAQ yesterday and It was hanging when trying to draw the Today plug-in, and that's how I know about all those steps. Glad to have been of help.
