Re: n900 Charging Problem

i have had a similar issue but never like that the battery stays drained. when i unplug the charger it takes some time to get the correct battery level showing up.

I can't really be sure what is causing your problem, but battery charging on the N900 is software controlled so it is possible it will be fixed by reflashing, before reflashing you can try just reinstalling the packages related to battery management

Code:

apt-get install --reinstall bme-rx-51 hald-addon-bme libbmeipc0

I doubt reinstalling those packages will fix it but shouldn't hurt, so is worth a shot. There is also the possibility that it is hardware related, maybe a dodgy charger, it is worth trying different charger if you can.

this says reinstallation is not possible, it cannot be downloaded.

could you tell me which repository these belong to??

Solved: Default system software update repo was disabled.

Re: n900 Charging Problem

Same happens to me, totally charged with green light, disconnect charger, low batt sounds, waiting for a minute or so will show real battery remaining.

Recently installed catorize, would it have something to do?
