It seems like after I turn the device on it should realize that it is no longer connected to the charger. You can see in the pic where it was turned on, yet it still indicates that it is being charged??

Can be done, will be fixed in next release

Jerome, if you have a heavier battery in the N900 uses remains the current display it on the default value, you can make a difference, eg menu the maximum flow (capacity battery) change so that the average current values again more accurate ? It would be a donation worth

Heavier batteries include. 1930 and was the Mugen 2400 mAh.

Jeroen, indien je een zwaardere batterij in de N900 toepast dan blijft de stroom aangave toch op de standaard waarde staan; kun je hier iets aan doen, bijv. in menu de max stroom (capaciteit accu) wijzigen zodat de gemiddelde stroomwaarden ook weer meer kloppen? Het zou mij een donatie waard zijn

Zwaardere batterijen zijn oa. de gold 1930 en Mugen 2400 mAh.

The problem is that HAL/BME is unable to report the correct charge for batteries with higher capacity. See https://bugs.maemo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9789

Scaling the current charge-reading to 1930 or 2400 mAh would not make it any more accurate. You could just as well use the percentage reading which seems to be coupled to the charge reading anyway, i.e. 50% with a 2400 mAh battery would suggest about 1200 mAh left.

With the 2400mAh mugen it depends on how warm the battery is at boot. Beyond a certain point, the battery meter starts displaying 100% all the time, and then jump from 100% to 0% in one big step.

The battery bars remain slightly more useful though.

hmm not necessary in one big step but it looks a bit strange. I have a battery labeled with 1800mAh (i will remove the label tomorrow to see if the cell got a different note) and the graph looks a bit... strange.

jwittema do you know how the graph for the bars and the percentage is calculated? i mean is it something you read directly out of an eeprom or is it something your app calculates?

i tried to figure that out with the two different batteries, but wasn't able to get a proper answer by myself.

The mAh and percentage is supplied by bme, which only gives vaguely correct values for fresh original batteries and well-made third party batteries

BatteryGraph gets battery readings from HAL/BME, you can view the readings yourself by running "lshal -u /org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/bme" in a terminal.

I have a feature request (easy one). And that is RAM and swap usage on graph.

And also a possibility to disable logging of certain resources by the daemon (smaller database, less resources used).

By the way, more apps polished like that!

oh yes... i can agree to that, more good looking apps please. BatteryGraph is really some eye candy stuff :-)
