I must assume at this point that you have no programming skills, even at this "baby" level.

Here's the code from the 1.6

Code:

charge=$(hal-device | grep is.charging | awk '{printf $3}')

x=$(hal-device | grep voltage.current | awk '{printf "%4.0f",$3}')

if [ $x -ge 4050 ];then

echo $x | awk '{printf "%3.1f", 85 + ($1 - 4050) / 12}{print "%"}'

level=0;fi\nif [ $x -ge 3900 -a $x -lt 4050 ];then

echo $x | awk '{printf "%3.1f", 70 + ($1 - 3900) / 10}{print "%"}'

level=0;fi\nif [ $x -ge 3800 -a $x -lt 3900 ];then

echo $x | awk '{printf "%3.1f", 50 + ($1 - 3800) / 5}{print "%"}'

level=0;fi\nif [ $x -ge 3660 -a $x -lt 3800 ];then

echo $x | awk '{printf "%3.1f", 15 + ($1 - 3660) / 4}{print "%"}'

level=1;fi\nif [ $x -ge 3600 -a $x -lt 3660 ];then

echo $x | awk '{printf "%3.1f", 5 + ($1 - 3600) / 6}{print "%"}'

level=2;fi\nif [ $x -lt 3600 ];then

echo $x | awk '{printf "%3.1f", ($1 - 3300) / 60}{print "%"}'

level=3;fi

if [ $level -gt 1 ]; then

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_led_pattern_activate string:"PatternError"

fi

if [ $level -le 1 ]; then

dbus-send --system --type=method_call --dest=com.nokia.mce /com/nokia/mce/request com.nokia.mce.request.req_led_pattern_deactivate string:"PatternError"

fi

if [ $charge == "true" ];then 

echo "Charging"

else 

echo $x | awk '{printf "%1.3fV", $x / 1000}'

fi

exit $level

To disable led notification the simple way is to change "if [ $level -le 1] to 5 instead of 1, this also applies to the "-gt 1", change both to 5. Do this in the bottom with the dbus-send lines

Re: Battery Tests, Homemade 3000mAh XL Battery & Q&A (GOTO POST #1!!!!!)

hey dr_frost_dk i noticed something, in some battery monitoring app, it says my battery is 1250 mah like in netmon. and in battery graph it shows my phone gets a full charge at like 1222 mah. my battery is original nokia 1340. is it normal to see stuff like this? and one more thing, my battery is acting weird lately, both your batterymonitor and the status bar battery are going up and down and up and down. its like getting really difficult for me to find out the battery remaining. ive been using ur app for accurate battery left but its also showing me very HUGE differences like its 14.5 and then it gets 32 for like half and hour then 37 for half an hour then gets to 14.5 again. help would be appreciated

hey dr_frost_dk i got a mail from mugen batteries. they said that they have new back covers now. with camera lens slider. and they ship the batteries free but its too damn expensive. 96 dollars for a battery and what do u think of the phone generally after back cover? is it really thick? it ruins the cliche look of the n900? and i have mailed aliexpress for their battery as well. but no reply. lets see what happens

i told you and have posted again and again that my meter takes a current voltage measurement and thats it, need a more consistent reading, make and 3 or more point save and average calculation.
