Windows Mobile: Disable Low Battery Warning

Although I dont recommend this, it may be usefull if your kiosk mode app watches and manages the battery level: you can disable the low battery warning. Sometimes such hacks are hard to find, now there is one more location in internet.

In the registry find the key

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]

This is the entry responsible for low battery warnings

Add a new REG_SZ key: “Default” with for example the text “Low Battery Warning”

"Default"="Low Battery Warning"

This entry is used to display the notification in the list of notifications in Start-Settings-Sounds&Notifications. To disable the notification itself it is not really necessary, but easier to control.

The Options entry in the registry defines which options your selected in Start-Settings-Sounds&Notifications, for example play a sound or display a user notification. Set Options to REG_DWORD=0x00 and there will be no notification when the battery goes down to 10% (depends on the device) and lower.

Here is the change in full:

REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D663-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]
"Options"=dword:00000000
"Default"="LowBattWarning"

You need to reboot the device after the change!
