try apt-get update first
and the icon doesn't always shows the correct value

how do I run the update on batterypatch? if I type

"apt-get update batterypatch" I get an error

"the update command takes no arguments"

Sorry for the dumb question.

I have the problems that I can not play any videos, even the videos I recorded by N900 if I update any newer version than 2.0. So how do I fix this?

hi karam

i'm using now CPU Power Control

it's contain your Battery-patch and I don't now what is the version of your patch in that package

I can't see this patch in HAM in remove list .. and i can't download it .. it's tells me your patch already found in Power Control script .


can you help me .

well well you can't use batterypatch and Cpu power controle together
only 1 of them

the differences :
Cpu power controle : is a power controle -_- you configure your profile and try pre configured profiles and other configurable settings
and there are some of batterypatch features in it
ex : vfs trick and cpu_sleep (if) script

batterypatch : aims to give the batterylife to N900
compatible with HD recording and can easily controle max/min freq (by editing /usr/share/kernel-power/overclock)and no need to use many profiles ... and it solves some issues
ex: solves the lag sometimes caused when recieving call by setting minfreq to 720 when a call is recieved
and have more configs in dbus-scripts-settings
ex: if you locked your phone while the keyboard is opened and then closed and left the keyboard right away then after couple a sec N900 will send a dbus-signal ( as the system is not active) and will activate cpu_sleep
.. this feature is not included in cpu power controle

although might not explained enough about cpu power controle because i haven't tried it (only saw what it contains)

INSHORT : you cannot fully compare batterypatch and cpu power controle
because they are different from each other

thank you for long replay ...

can I speak with you by Arabic ?

sec : i will remove the power patch and try you battery-patch


thank you

@Kenny.Vo that was a problem with 2.5 version i guess but the current version 3.* has that problem fixed

@mesho123
es you can speak arabic but i'de rather you do that with PMs only

Hi Karam, thank for your reply.
I updated the battery patch to the newest version but still have the same problem.
I uninstalled and rollback to ver2.0 and don't have any problem about video playing but sometime some videos loading longer than usual.
So do I need to reflash? I have the latest CSSU and kernel V49 installed.

this is strange ..
can you please drop the version you use in here so i can analyze the problem ?
as i remember the problem was caused by renice of qtlockscreen and it has fixed earlier
