When the screen is off on the N8*0, the led blinks a nice blue color infrequently, right? Well, I was wondering if you could use the led to indicate battery status. (Green for high, Blue ok , do we have a Yellow?, and red for almost dead.) Please think about it

seems pybattery is triggering an old classic when it comes to using python inside hildon-desktop.
basically, ones i have activated pybattery, the cpu will stay at max clock, and will remain there even if i turn pybattery of.
the only real option for freeing up the cpu so that the cpu can idle and clock down is to kill hildon-desktop.

Do you have python-launcher installed? I have had some sad experience, which leaded to uninstalling it.
Does anyone else has such behavior?

I can confirm the bug. I don't have python-launcher

just for the record, yes i have python-launcher installed.
but i have been using some of the home* applets, and they make use of python, without seeing this lately.

I can confirm. I *wondered* why after installing
advanced (sic)-power my tablet on idle was eating
the battery. Pegged at 400mhz!!
I wonder what's causing this (otherwise, it is a
great app).

albright, ive run in performance for months now on multiple tablets, running at 400 isn't really the problem, because it still does sleep state things i believe and by far the biggest killers on an idle tablet is the wifi/screen/disk.
however constantly running a naughty process at 400 drains the battery quicker than running a naughty process at 133.

that is a good point, lcuk. Is there any app which, like
powertop, can tell if the processor is entering low
power states properly?
In this case, the *only* difference between yesterday (very
good battery performance) and today (very poor battery
performance, an externally physically warm tablet) is
the installation of advanced-power. Once it is killed, and
hildon-desktop restarted, you can watch the temperature
drop (from mid-thirties C to 20 C - basically ambient temp).
Who knows, perhaps whatever causes this problem pegs
the processor speed and somehow interferes with the sleep
states too. Hopefully, somebody can figure this out.

albright, one day does not really tell you the exact cause.
i cannot even install it at the moment, but I "feel" how well my device is doing every time i view the stars in liqbase.
When it is busy I see the stars stutter and jerk, when completely idle they flow smoothly.
really good indicator for me

Wonderful applet that I have been wanting for ages. It does everything I want (plus, I'm very happy you wrote it in Python so that I can muss with it. Like making it display Fahrenheit
When the screen is off on the (edit) N810, the led blinks a nice blue color infrequently, right? Well, I was wondering if you could use the led to indicate battery status. Green for high, Blue for ok , do we have a Yellow?, and red for almost dead. Please think about it
Thanks again for this great applet! It is very much appreciated.
