[Touch-packages] [Bug 1410495] Re: Battery indicator goes Critical Red with more than 1 hour battery left

[koyakun]

Same issue on Ubuntu 19.10. A red indicator with 4 hours (45%) of
battery left is counterintuitive. I find myself repeatedly clicking the
indicator when it turns red only to find out that I have several hours
left.

** Attachment added: "4+ hours of battery left and red indicator"

Bug description:
  indicator-power 12.10.6+14.10.20141015-0ubuntu1, Ubuntu 14.10

  On my current laptop, the battery indicator shows a red-with-a-little-
  left icon when there is more than an hour left in the battery, which
  is not really appropriate for a "critical battery warning".

  This bug is probably a regression of #743823, and I was asked to create a new 
bug by @mpt:
  > Christoph, yes, please report a new bug including a screenshot. On phones 
we may have to color by percentage, but on PCs we can and should color by time 
remaining to avoid false alarms.

  A screenshot is attached. Unfortunately I didn't realize at the time
  that the screenshotter does not record open menus, so you'll have to
  take my word that the time remaining in the indicator menu was at > 1
  hour. I can redo the screenshot, if necessary.

  interior should be filled from left to right approximately as much as

  less than 20% left on a phone or tablet, the fill should be red rather
  than monochrome."

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1410495] Re: Battery indicator goes Critical Red with more than 1 hour battery left

[Charles Kerr]

Emilien, the 30% red is handled separately in bug #1388235. That ticket
doesn't doesn't directly address mpt's discussion of coloring by
percentage on phone but by time on desktop, but it may ameliorate the
worst examples of this bug by improving the icons' granularity.

To color by time, we might ultimately need red and nonred versions of
each discharging icon.

[Emilien Klein]

Forgot to mention I'm on Ubuntu 14.10 as well. This is on a newly
purchased laptop on which I haven't run previous versions of Ubuntu, so
I can't confirm if this is a regression as supposed by Christoph
Buchner.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1410495] Re: Battery indicator goes Critical Red with more than 1 hour battery left

[Emilien Klein]

Same issue here, once the battery drops below 30% it's shown as red, but 
there's still plenty of time left (1:32 when I took the attached screenshot)
If the color really has to change at 29%, I'd be OK if the indicator was 
yellow, but I'm just fine with the normal white one. Rred is just not 
reasonable.

The Android phones I've had start warning about low battery at 15%, that
seems fine to me.
