[all/fso?] external battery just mobile gum pro woes
i just bought an external battery, just mobile gum pro (4400 mAh,Input (Mini USB): 5VDC 500mA Min; output (USB Type A Port): 5VDC 1000mA) to keep the fr alive even when using gps hours on end. last night i tried to load the fr, when starting the fr was at 48% -- after 11h it was at 69%. looking at openmoko-panel-plugin's battery view, the state oscillated between charging and not charging. the pwr led however firmly stayd orange, indicating charging (switching the batter yoff almost immediately made the led going blue, so it's not just inertia). sending the fr to suspend and charging, brought the level to 100% in maybe two hours (that's when i checked again). so, does anyone experience similar issues with an external battery? and what could probably cause that oscillation (and how to stop that of course)?
