[SHR-testing] Problems with battery
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi list, a small problem: I use my Nokia 6630 compatible battery (BL-5C) in the Neo with SHR-testing, but Neo doesn't recognize the battery chip, so it says that it is empty even it is full. I've edited /etc/freesmartphone/opreferences/rules.yaml and commented the section that powers off the phone with low battery level. But, it still remains a problem: the battery doesn't charge, why? Here is my rules.yaml[1]. This is making my phone unusable, and on 27 March I'll travel far away: I need the battery for OpenStreetMap on the Neo!!! :| Also: could someone explain me the differences in lock, idle_prelock, idle and idle_dim in Timeouts settings?

Reporting that the battery is empty is an FSO bug. The 2.6.24 kernels do report battery voltage for all batteries, including alien ones, but that has disappeared in the 2.6.28 series. It's on my TODO list to get it back in. I've edited /etc/freesmartphone/opreferences/rules.yaml and commented the section that powers off the phone with low battery level. Definitely a silly bug - for instance, how are you supposed to be able to charge a depleted battery in the Neo, then? But, it still remains a problem: the battery doesn't charge, why? How do you know it doesn't charge the battery? Which kernel are you using? -- Rask Ingemann Lambertsen Danish law requires addresses in e-mail to be logged and stored for a year ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
