Re: battery not fully charging
Hi
Since this week, my battery isnt charging to the fullest anymore.
How do you estimate the charge?
by looking at the icons in illume and paroli :-)
ok, let me try a
mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.odeviced \
/org/freesmartphone/Device/PowerSupply/battery \
org.freesmartphone.Device.PowerSupply.GetInfo
after loading a full night:
{ 'capacity': '96',
'charge_full': '1121337',
'current_now': '29437',
'health': 'Good',
'online': '1',
'present': '1',
'status': 'Charging',
'technology': 'Li-ion',
'temp': '313',
'time_to_empty_now': '138840',
'time_to_full_now': '3932100',
'type': 'Battery',
'voltage_now': '4128000'}
.. but i'm not sure what means what.
does this look bad ?

Your battery is ok, it reports 96% of charge ('capacity').

is it charged ? the icons say its at about 50% ?
its been on juice for near 12 hours.

You didn't mention the distro (or I missed it), but the illume battery icon
has been known to report wrong values. IIRC this is because it gets the battey
info via HAL, and reports the average if more than one battery is found. HAL
sometimes reports the USB connection as an empty battery, effectively halving
the charge level shown by the battery icon.

This didnt just gradually change, but happened 'all of a sudden'.
It charges - connected to the charger - up to ~50% of its capacity
and doesnt seem to go any further.
I've seen that too, except it would only charge to 40 % or 3.8 V. It did
not fix itself over a few days. Eventually, I shut down the FR, removed
battery and external power and let it sit there for 5 minutes. When I put
the battery back in and reconnected external power, it charged just fine.
I took dumps of /sys/.../pcf50633.../dump_all_regs during the problem and
compared them to dumps taken when I got it to charge fully again, but
nothing showed up.
The only thing I can think of that might have provoced the problem is
that I was experimenting with modulation of the vibrator brightness.
Something like this:
# for i in {,1,2,1,,1,2,1,,1,2,1,}50 0; do \
echo /sys/class/leds/neo1973\:vibrator/brightness $i; \
sleep 0.2; done
That's not neccesarily a wise thing to do, but the schematics seems to
have all the required protection components around the vibrator motor.

It see USB as different battery, with capacity 0% all the time (no matter if it's connected or not). It also used to see APM emulation as third battery - it displayed 33% then.

Re: battery not fully charging
for me it goes up to 93% when connected. maybe with time it downgrades..
