Not accurate at all. I've been using it since the problem with battery temperature display without problems.
After last update, is so inaccurate!
I tried BQ27200 alternative but is more unstable than the original module (it changes battery charge percentages very fast, based on the power usage @ the moment) but even this modified module would warn me that I'm draining out of battery.

I'll try Nokia BME next. Please verify what I say because if this is general, we're in front of an ugly, ugly bug. Thanks a lot.

BQ27200 works fine for me. If it shows weird values to you, you better dig into values bq27x00 kernel module providing.

Using kernel-powerv47 here. What should I grep?
I'm sorry if I bother you.

Just run in XTerm to get values provided by bq27x00 to HAL:

Code:

hal-device computer_power_supply_battery_bq27200_0

But can anybody also attach output of running

Code:

python -OO /opt/maemo/usr/lib/advanced-power-monitor/apmdaemon.py

and

Code:

ls -Rls /opt/maemo/usr/lib/advanced-power-monitor/

The simpliest solution at the moment is to run as root

Code:

rm -r /opt/maemo/usr/lib/advanced-power-monitor/wrappers/device_mode

Thanks a million!
Solved my problem too after executing.

try reinstalling advanced-power-common
and ls couldn't give you no output.

Just wanted to say that 412b's solution worked for me as well. Was getting "devicemodepowerlaunch has not attribute 'get_type'" or some such nonsense before

I think I *may* have found a bug.

When, for some reasons, applet (or daemon?) can't get some modes data (i.e. bq27200 or nokia bme when bme is disabled), but daemon himself is working right, any attempt to switch mode ends up in control panel (of advanced power monitor) becoming unresponsive.

In fact, it does *not* "hand" - just clicking "save" does nothing. Button highlights, but pop-up with controls doesn't hide. If we cancel it, open it again and try another time, it *does* close as normal upon "save":, but no changes are made. If You check again, GUI returns info about other mode running (from example, if we try to switch from nokia bme to bq27200, 1st attempt fail, 2nd seems to succeed, GUI now tell us that bq27200 is active), but info is still from "old" mode.

Then, 3th attempt to switch fail again - need to cancel it. 4th attempt "succeed" without real change, and so goes on. Just like control panel has got compulsive-obsessive disorder

I know, it's little hard to explain, but I hope my report was understandable. If there is any way that I can help debugging - i.e. some output from somewhere

I'll be glad to help.

Do you start/stop bme and load bq27200 on the fly (w/o rebooting)?

Estel | # 700 | 2011-08-19, 15:35 | Report

2x nope. It just happens sometime, can't reproduce, but it wasn't "one time mystery error" either. *if* it happens - and I've seen it 2-3 times in last 2 days - it last until reboot.

If it's relevant - I use KP47, with bq27200 enabled as by default.
