QtMoko new replacement battery - charging oddness
People, My original Neo battery lasts about 3.5 hours from a full charge with no activity with QtMoko v33. I bought replacement BL-6C batteries but when I plug either of them in, they appear to be charging (~20 hours) but when the USB is disconnected the battery icon appears to be still charging(!) and the Neo shuts down soon after ( 2 hours) with no charge. When I reboot, I try to cat the files in: /sys/class/power_supply/battery/ but I get No such device messages. Any ideas about how to proceed?

I cant say how/if it works. Please try: modprobe platform_battery or add platform_battery to /etc/modules so that it's loaded automatically after reboot.

I'm currently trying to debug this. - complete freeze (I have to take of the battery to reboot) I need logs for this too. -once tangogps did not update the map anymore have you tried foxtrotgps if it's there too? Anyway tangogps and foxtrotgps bugs should be reported upstream as we can't fix them. Would you like me to create issues in trac for all mentioned problems ? if you like you can do so. I've no additional programs installed. In general I can use the freerunner as a daily phone.

I see this bug too, but the lockscreen does display the icon for 1-2 seconds before it goes away. My assumption is that is goes away because the message was marked as read when it was automatically opened in the background. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: qtmoko v33
* removed package vim-tiny from v33 .tgz, please re-add it as default;) Hmm i am trying to keep the image as small as possible. I'd rather prefer if people could install they favourite apps with apt-get. I agree, but I think vi/vim is quite a basic tool in any distribution. I'd remove nano instead, not so common as vi is. btw, nano is 1786kB, vim-tiny is 1114kB;) +1 :-) Nah, I much prefer zile.
