As for whitewolf suggestion, please *don't* enable charging with external power detected, at least by default. There are use cases - at least, in my situation - hen I don't want N900 to charge, at the same time powering USB devices (connected to it) externally via Y-cable/powered HUB.


why not? if you're using HEN it's going to run out of battery alot sooner then if you wasn't using HEN.

Maybe you shouldn't even be using the Y adapter, instead just use plain powered hub, which wont return charge to the phone.

So for me, I would rather it charge on external power.
Besides, I think the charge.sh script only charges when the battery isn't full.
