Battery readers won't work.
 
Ok so I've been using the battery widget from way back when, but now it suddenly stopped working. Also, in battery eye, it doesn't show any information even though the device has been on for well over a few hours. And the little battery next to the time only shows full and randomly goes to red. Any help please?

This script will tell you current charge/votage and voltage at charging.

Code:
hal-device bme | awk '/l.p/ {perc = $3}; /g.c/ {curr = $3}; /e.cu/ {volt = $3}; /s_c/ {isch = $3} END if (isch == "false") {print perc" % ("curr"mAh/"volt"mV)"} else {print "Charging@"volt"mV"}

The thing is my phone's USB port broke, so i bought a spare bootleg battery and a charger that you plug the battery into. So technically can't check while charging.

If the battery icon disapeard from status bar, try this command in xterm:
Code:
gtk-update-icon-cache
