If you experience any strange behavior with this update, please uninstall MeterBerry, reboot, and then reinstall it.
The default Reset Mode was changed from 1 to 3, because the number of users that now have devices and/or OS versions which require Reset Mode 3 has surpassed those that require the other modes. If you were previously using Reset Mode 1 (the previous default) or 2 and device resets were working correctly, you should change the Reset Mode back to 1 or 2.
New Features:
Color-coded, Customizable Banner Indicator
This feature has been requested for literally as long as I can remember, and now it's here. Instead of having to exit out to the home screen and look at the MeterBerry icon to view your battery, memory, etc. info, now you can see that same info without interrupting what you're doing on your phone - reading emails, browsing, etc. - because that same info can now be displayed in the banner area.
Choose between battery level, device temperature, or free application memory. The colors of the icons will change just like MeterBerry's main home screen icon. And just like the main home screen icon, the thresholds at which the colors change can be adjusted to your liking in MeterBerry's options.
Estimated Battery Time Remaining
Another long-requested feature, MeterBerry now estimates the remaining time until your battery fully discharges. This estimate is based on the calculated average battery discharge rate. Just like the discharge rate, the more data and time MeterBerry has to make its calculations, the more accurate this will be. If you have no average discharge data, either because you just fully charged your phone or you reset the discharge rate manually, the remaining battery time will read "Unknown". Once your battery discharges a few percentage points, you will get an accurate reading of your estimated battery time remaining.
The estimated battery time remaining can also be selected as a home screen icon, along with the existing battery level, temperature, free application memory, change in application memory since startup, and time since last reset icons. And just like the existing icons, you can change the thresholds at which the colors change.
OS 6.0 / Torch 9800 Support
v2.5 is fully compatible with OS 6.0 and the Torch 9800. For device resets, use Reset Mode 3 in MeterBerry's options (the new default).
Fixes for Incorrect Memory Totals on Bold 9000, 9650, etc.
My apologies for this taking so long, but MeterBerry should now display the correct amount of total application memory for all current devices.
In the future, or if for some reason MeterBerry still does not display the correct amount, you can force the total memory to a different value. Sorry to disappoint, but this has no affect other than on MeterBerry's memory display and calculations. It doesn't actually give you more memory.
MeterBerry Overview:
Customizable, Dynamic Home Screen Icons
Keep tabs on your battery, memory, or device status right on your home screen.
Customizable Battery and Memory Notifications
MeterBerry will notify you when your battery level or free memory drops below the thresholds you specify.
Notification sounds, LED, and vibrate behavior are all customizable through the phone's standard Profiles application.
Logging
MeterBerry keeps logs of how your battery level, free memory, signal strength, and device temperature change over time, allowing you to detect a failing battery, monitor how 3rd party applications or OS's affect your battery life, memory, or signal strength, find areas or times of the day where your signal strength drops, determine if your phone is overheating, and more.
Soft Reset (Battery Pull) Functionality
Reset your device by simulating a battery pull any time you want.
Or, schedule a reset to be performed automatically daily at a specific time.
Memory Recovery
Initiate the Java garbage collector to free up application memory on-demand, when you receive a low memory notification, or hourly when your phone is idle.
Event Log Management
View the system Event Log to troubleshoot application or operating system problems.
Clear the event log hourly when your phone is idle to free up application memory.
Device Statistics
MeterBerry calculates the average battery discharge rate, battery time remaining, change in free memory since startup, time since the last reset, and more.
Small Footprint
MeterBerry is less than 200 KB in size when installed. And its run-time footprint is even smaller.
