@Andy, here some outputs: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /sys/devices/platform/bq27000-battery.0/power_supply/bat/current_now cat: read error: Timer expired [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /sys/devices/platform/bq27000-battery.0/power_supply/bat/voltage_now cat: read error: Timer expired [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# apm --monitor Line : on Battery: -1% (?)

So I am thinking hardware error?! Although I recall seeing a full green battery indicator under Qtopia once (don't know if it actually worked, i.e. got less full with time etc., since I uninstalled Qtopia again) I sure am not seeing one under OM2008.0x :\ -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/Battery-Indicator-problem-tp1107624p1114565.html Sent from the Openmoko Support mailing list archive at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ support mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
