quite possible...

i guess that whats confusing me is when i pick up the tablet after not using it for a night and is greeted by the red battery icon and a warning sound...

as I said I love the idea t have a fast way directly on the tablet to visualize the battery recent history. I have this working on last release (Im not sure how reliable are these numbers) but at least I can see when some app use 'too much' power and have an idea of recharging time in different 'real life' situations.

Well, now you can play a bit with APM as it provides battery changes in single D-Bus signal and simple iface to get value. I'm thinking of logging battery history too. In a bit different way, but still much common to your goal.

great, in case I could 'steal' your log data and stop caring about the 'quality' of my numbers. The tablet's left (menu) bar seem perfect for this kind of infos weird i could not find a lot of info about accessing that space but as traspare from my post in not a programmer so I probably missed something.

There's a major problem with advanced-power. After upgrading omweather, each time I rebooted, I got the following error: Operation temporarily disabled due to low memory, and a white background. Removing omweather did not solve the problem (so, it wasn't the cause). No problem after removing advanced-power (and the boot is also much faster).

I have no telepathy skills
Device? OS version? AP, APM version?

N810, 5.2008.43-7. But I don't remember the AP version. Probably 3.4-2.

EDIT: The latest version (0.3.5 / 0.4.0) doesn't seem to have the memory problem (for the moment), but the boot is still much slower.

I suppose it's quite old now so maybe it's not too much of a problem, but whenever I read APM (especially in relation to power), I think of the thing on PCs before ACPI. I can't think of a better name right now, though.

the boot is slower simply because this is a python app, so the system have to first load the interpreter...

And I can't figure out a better name, too...
So it's called APM at the moment, may be later it can change name.
