I am using the vzw theme on my 8130 and I am wondering if there is a way to actually see the signal strength and the battery life on the main screen. It does not currently show up until I go into my phone log.
There is a way to change the signal strength from a meter to a % bet i do not remember what it is. Some one posted it a while back. Not sure about the battery strength though!
To see your signal strength as a number (as in the status screen) versus the "bars". From the home screen, hold down ALT and type NMLL (Press N twice as if you were in multi-tap mode). This will change the bars to a number read out.
Trying to figure out the equivalent tip to convert the battery meter... hmmmmm
well, perhaps i just figured this out. I had a picture on my main screen and even though it did not take up the entire screen when I removed that picture, the bars for both the battery and signal strength returned.
