stock battery,
battery.reporting.design = 1540 (0x604) (int)
mugen,
battery.reporting.design = 1546 (0x60a) (int)

I'm still thinking about own time left algorithm (TLA)... On the one hand it would great not to deal with Nokia's time left stuff anymore, on the other hand... On the other hand AP is splitting into 2 packages:
- Advanced Power Monitor (APM) (a daemon (still written in Python, but C looks more and more attractive), which gets all the info and uses D-Bus to notify about changes and get values). Mainly for cross-project and cross-application usage. I want to keep APM lightweight as much as it can be using Python for such things.
- Advanced Power (GUI's statusbar item).
That splitting is my #1 at the moment. To my mind implementing a statistics based TLA is the thing to be done, but I'm not sure, if it gonna be in APM-0.3.5, may be in APM-0.3.6.
In fact ideas about other possible algorithms are welcomed
At this point I just wrote a simple script that polls retu every minute and records the data into an Openoffice importable csv file (so I can graph results). All of this is for research purposes so I can better understand how the battery works so I can better predict how long it'll last.
I'll let you know if I come up w/something.
edit: here's the aforementioned mentioned thread: http://internettablettalk.com/forums/showthread.php?p=257324

Hi, one feature suggestion. I would like to be reminded to charge the battery when it fall under a certain percentage, say 25%. If you could change the battery icon (say different color or something prominent), then it would be easy for me to tell whether its time to charge or not. Oh, it would be best if you could make the 'Reminder to charge' value changeable by end user.

Also, the icon color change would would hard to do for those of us using the other themes (Thank you 412b for that by the way, it works great - especially "Use GTK theme" which I noticed keeps the charging animations)

one thing tho, from what i have noticed, the battery warning sound will basically not play while the screen is of, as that makes the applet sleep, and therefor not register battery changes...

Im completely new to the batteries business and relative tla algorithms (+ the tablet uses are probably really different from a traditional laptop and relative power optimizations), anyway I like the idea to have a graph (like brent). I already have a working graphic battery status with samples every minute in my flipclock (its lovely watch the consume patterns) but I was thinking to cross the battery numbas with the status of the cpu (I know the cpu% change too fast for a 1 minute samples but at least maybe it will enough to recognize a particular intensive tablet use (watching movie/listen audio/ streaming audio/gps,,, and so on), Ill keep you update.
I dont understand anyway why my battery % is always a bit different from the advpow. Im using the code from pybatterystatus and I didnt try to analyze it at all (just happy to have some numbers to show). Note that the actual version in garage just show some dummy numbers

Just in inactive mode battery drain is much less and battery changes are not so frequent...
So... Summarizing all the things above...
|AP (Advanced Power) 0.3.6|
1. Gonna be added configurable battery alert notification:
- With turning alert on/off
- With choosing sound for playing
- With option to turn on/raise volume on battery alert (also with on/off option)
- Icon will be changed to appropriate, when AP alerts
2. (or 0.3.7) User controlled event handling (e.g what progs to run on charger in, battery low, some other...).
3. (or 0.3.7) Commands executing and creating shortcuts for commands.
|APM (Advanced Power Monitor) 0.4.1|
1. Perhaps, new experimental TLA (time left algorithm) for battery.
2. Some more info, perhaps.
AP 0.3.5 and APM 0.4.0 will be released in a hour.
