What would we do without TMO? Used "sudo" plus the above

this worked for me. but ever since the latest update, i have not had this issue. but that could also be because i applied the above.

Happened to me here. Simply go to app manager and remove advance power monitor. You should have the default battery indicator left. Wait for an update to fix it.

It happens sometimes after a reboot, battery icon is grey and status menu shows "start apmd".

I usually open a xterm, become root user with command "root", and then reinitiate apmonitord:

$ root
Nokia-N900:~# stop apmonitord
apmonitord (stop) running, process 1615
apmonitord (stop) pre-stop, (main) process 1615
apmonitord (stop) stopping, process 1615
apmonitord (stop) killed, process 1615
apmonitord (stop) post-stop, process 2574
apmonitord (stop) waiting
Nokia-N900:~# start apmonitord
apmonitord (start) waiting
apmonitord (start) starting
apmonitord (start) pre-start
apmonitord (start) spawned, process 2577
apmonitord (start) post-start, (main) process 2577
apmonitord (start) running, process 2577
Nokia-N900:~#

and it solves the problem (battery icon is green again).
It's a little annoying , but it solves the problem when it happens.

Anyway, I'd like to know why it happens and really fix it.
