feature request: print %, mAh and mV to same grid with different colours.

how hard is that to implement? if it isn't very hard, at least I'd find it very useful

Definitely just plotting the graphs in same view would be rather simple. The problem would be to to somehow scale the y-axis meaningfully (all three values are in different units, and have different scale), and communicating the scaling to user.

For anyone asking for features, please post your feature requests to the tracker at project's garage page rather than (or in addition to) posting them here (You'll need a garage account though):
https://garage.maemo.org/tracker/?group_id=1292

It's much easier for me to manage requests there, instead of looking around for them in the forums :rolleyes:

Phone charging overnight then suddenly...whammy at 3am, stops charging and fully drains. Next thing I know I am woken up by the boing noises from the battery dying! :mad:

I thought I was going crazy last time this happened but now it has happened for a second time and battery-eye proved it, has anyone else come across this?

But what is wonderng me , from 24:00 to 6:00 i turned OFF the WIFI with some extra tool and turned on the OFLINE mode. SO , why !!! he still looses so much energy in 6 hours ??? If i would draw that line , the battary will be empty in 3 days DOING nothing ... i just cant understand it. I turned everything off , the only thing was on is the alarmclock ... so why would a mobile phone, while doing nothing get empty in 3 Days !!!

so here is a screenshot i made in battery eye.

The time is what i realy did , you can see it nor 100 % on this picture
1) The battary was full, WIFI OFF and OFFLINE MODE
2)´Alarm, serving 10 m
3)Musik about 30 m nothing else
4) Tunrned OFFLINE MODE OFF and switched to WIFi in the school , used it in the lesson to goole things
5) turned wife off
6) Musik ...
7) Just turned on wifi , and internet , and musik ,and some windows ...

I do not know but first thing to do for one day would be to disable all IM/VOIP protocols and one by one test how much they eat battery. Might take couple of days, but welcome to beta test group.

But you should also ask from yourself what you ask your phone to do? You have enabled 5 different accounts that communicate to server with time interval of their own. It doesn't matter if you do not "use" them. They are still connected and send packages and keep 3G radio link sending data.

Re the slower charging chargers,

I think the real difference comes from the fact that your phone is probably finished charging nearer morning, the n900 seems to charge from ac and then stop, so if I charge mine at 11pm, and its full by 1am. then it sits on my desk depleting battery until I get up 6-8 hours later.

if your charge doesn't finish charging till say 4 or 5 in the morning you'd automatically be getting 3 or 4 extra hours of standby power.

So i'm swapping to a slower charge for my overnight charges too :)

It's bad for the health of Li-Ion batteries to be kept fully charged constantly. The charging is switched off when battery is full. It resumes charging at some threshold (maybe 85percent?) and charges to something like 90-95 again.

These numbers are probably not accurate at all, but you get the idea.

that is not correct. The right way to keep a Li-Ion charged is by trickle charge it when at peak (what ever peak is - 90-95-99%) Even a -10-15% discharge damages the Li-Ion cells. ("natural damage") and will decrease the life of the cells.

But I'm amazed the phone can't work on AC power and switch off battery consumption.

I ve realised something!
The official N900 charger is not very good for the battery! its intensity of 1200mA is too high..

Here's a baseline I did to see what was minimal standby for me.

This is a fresh Reboot, WiFi off, BT off, WiFi Module unloaded with WiFi Switcher. No IM accounts polling. ATT network for voice, all Data disabled.

Only used for a few short voice calls. No appz used. Lots of stuff installed from Testing and devel, and Qole, repositories. Phone was parked on the Dashboard and not on a desktop.

My goal was to get a baseline to work from to see the drain over the course of the battery, and test from this as my baseline. Took almost 3 days to run down, not bad.
