I have now monitored the battery settings on the N900 over the last 2-3 weeks using lshal | grep bat. (Behaviour has not changed with PR1.1)

But seems like the battery reporting is all over the place

1. battery.reporting.design (which I assume i what N900 sees as design capacity of the battery) fluctuates on my device from 1258 to 1253 to 1247 - up and down all the time. Seems like no logic behind it.

2. I charge phone overnight - checks battery.reporting.current - says 1224. I take the phone out of the charger, reboots immediately and plug back into the charger. Battery.reporting.current shows 1118 (so more than 100 ma drop from a reboot - and device has been off charger for less than 60 seconds) - and N900 starts charging again.

So point 1 I do not understand. Looks like a "bug" - do you agree?

Point 2 - if phone is plugged in - and reaches maximum charge - does it start to drain battery until battery level reaches a level low enough for charge to start again? Or is the Battery.reporting/charging system a bit out of sync?

I hope if we can nail this and make it "better"/"more stable" we can get a better battery performance from the N900.

I'm now up to 12-14 hours of battery using SIP profile - but absolutely NO widgets. I run a pretty clean phone (extra installed apps are only Conky, cpumem-applet and Simple FMTX, eCoach, Backgammon)
