Christopher - this is beyond silly!

Why on earth would you want to scatter the information around 100
individual bugs when it affects MULTIPLE USERS as you MAY HAVE NOTICED
if you have read this thread at all.

On behalf of the 106 people who this issue affects, kindly let us know:

- How should we proceed in order to have A SINGLE BUG the 106 users can
subscribe to? We don't want to subscribe to 106 bugs and, as I am sure
you can imagine, juanmanuel, who was kind enough to find  solution, will
definitely not want to post the same solution to 106 bug reports.

Title:
  acpi reports battery state incorrectly

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I have a new Samsung 9-series laptop (NP900X3B) and the battery state
  is detected incorrectly. Basically the state what was at the time of
  boot stays active all the time - regardless of the ac-adapter state.

  Here is output from "acpitool -a -b" in various situations:

  When booted with charger connected and charger is still connected:
    Battery #1     : charging, 47.00%, 01:00:43
    AC adapter     : on-line 
   
  When booted with charger connected and charger is now disconnected:
    Battery #1     : charging, 47.00%, 01:36:59
    AC adapter     : off-line 
  [The battery couldn't possibly be charging when the AC adapter is offline!]

  When booted with charger disconnected and charger is still disconnected:
    Battery #1     : discharging, 47.00%, 01:39:44
    AC adapter     : off-line 

  When booted with charger disconnected and charger is now connected:
    Battery #1     : discharging, 47.00%, 00:53:43
    AC adapter     : on-line 
  [The battery is actually charging as the AC adapter is online]

  The percentage and time are correctly updated when the battery is
  actually charging or discharging - regardless of the reported state.
  So the state is the only thing that is incorrect. However a number of
  applications make their decisions based on this state (battery
  monitor, jupiter, etc.) and therefore behave incorrectly.

  "lshal -m" doesn't report anything when I plug the charger in or out.
