Hi all,


From what package 'bnf' belong ???

Thanks.

It's a "package" it self but AFAIK it'll run only in a N900.

Thanks, just installed it right now ...

I recently installe BME replacement and just noticed that if you leave the phone on the charger for a long time (e.g. overnight) it will cycle between charging and discharging too often for my tastes. I think this will wear the battery unnecessarily fast.
See the attachments.
If i remember correctly the original bme would only cycle 3-4 hours on idle and the replacement BME cycles about every 1.5 hours.
I can also provide batteryeye logs if requested.
Please increase the hysteresis between stop charging and start charging states

PS: I patched batteryeye to log charge and capacity while charging.

Could you also have a look at this thread?
It might be solvable with a change in the replacement BME.

In my opinion, all the thresholds (which voltage/capacity should we charge to, when to start charging again, etc) should be configurable for power-users, via sysfsnodes. This way, more creative use cases (like, charging only to 80% of capacity during "regular" daily usage, for tremendous saves on battery life wear) would be possible.

I've suggested it long time ago, but it seems that Pali haven't had time - or will - to implement those. Considering, that bug with graphical indication of battery level in status menu still isn't fixed (it uses "design capacity", not real one, as a max, so 1200 mAh on 3000 mAh battery will be shown as full battery icon, 600 mAh as half-full, etc), I think that the former (time) is more likely case. Anyone knowledgeable with source code is highly encouraged to send patches...

All what can be set to bq24150a chip is already exported via sysfs. Also bq2415x_charger driver can be switched to "manual" operation when userspace is responsible for charging, setting values, etc, ... So it is already implemented, you just need to write own script/SW/whatever which will set what you want on your own.

Just one thumb up to highlight the great work done with bme replacement.

I have installed it since a few days and so far it works better than stock bme!

Thanks!

The bme replacement seems to be a very nice and useful but i have one problem. After i install it the host mode/usb functionality stops working. Host mode says something about connected charger and does not work. Any ideas how to solve this issue? Luckily i have some extra N900s i can use for testing .
