I just experienced the same. I had 5 percent charge left and wanted to charge with the wall charger (what I had done before). The phone did not start to charge (no movement of the battery icon).
I plugged off the charger and switched off the phone. Now I could start charging. I started the phone again (without plugging off the charger), and the battery icon is moving now.

I've seen this happen a couple of times when I plugged the charger into the phone and nothing happened. However, as soon as I slid the keyboard open, it would start charging. Almost like the charging daemon was asleep and needed to be "woken up"

i noticed that if phone is locked and you plug in usb cable to charge your phone charging wont kick in till you press power and slide your finger to unlock it.
IF you take too long to unlock and the usb storage or pc sync options are gone from the screen n900 wont be charging.
it seem random at times where even when locked it still kicks in on its own and also the choice usb storage / pc sync doesn't fade away even after longer time, could be related to how i locked the phone, where it acts differently if it locks itself on its own after idle time and differently if you lock it by slider or power button
clearly software bug but can't find 100% way to reproduce it yet.
hope someone will

info.category = 'battery' (string)

This looks pretty decent. Although it would appear you took these readings while it's not charging. (Via USB either?)

I've been having a problem lately where the phone will not charge off of USB even though it says it will. My strings are different, in the following ways however:

battery.charge_level.current = 5 (0x6) (int)

battery.rechargeable.is_charging = true (bool)
battery.rechargeable.is_discharging = false (bool)
maemo.charger.connection_status = 'connected' (string)
maemo.charger.type = '100mA' (string)
maemo.rechargeable.charging_status = 'on' (string)

Before it use to charge through USB, and now it's not.

A little more info for anyone with suggestions:

I'm running the USB cable through a Belkin powered USB hub, which is then connected to the back of a DGL-4500 using Shareport. For connectivity shareport works (If it doesn't a router reboot and it does, this is a known problem with dlinks shareport routers...) The current however should be independent of the shareport functionality, as it's should be getting power from the hub itself.

I've tried to disable all radios, and I'll check in a little while if I am getting any positive gains.

About your charger, doesn't seem like the phone is recognizing it, or you ran the grep charge with it not plugged in. In either case, seems like your charger may be hosed.

Do you get a charge from via the USB Cable?
