It would be helpfull to display a "low battery" logo when a Maemo device cannot start because of a very low battery level.
Sony Psp does it and several cameras too.

In addition, change the N900's light color or pulse rythme when the battery is low would be a good idea. You got that on Sony ericsson phones or sony psp consoles.

Sorry for my english

I agree with a low bat logo when the phone cannot boot, but flashing the led when you're almost out of battery seems foolish.

Put the battery in the freezer for 24hours.

I'm so used to devices that can tell me battery capacity in percentages that I find n900's little icon very inadequate. Something onscreen - or an occasional sound to tell me if it's getting really low would be good. Lots of devices beep at low battery.

Bratag, one of the nice things about a forum like this is learning what people may or may not know... sometimes that comes out in a question.... but sometimes in the answers others give. Perhaps, rather than lambasting someone else, you can give a good answer. I eagerly await your solution to the battery issue.

Regards,

Thor

Will you EVER stop stalking my posts? Your fascination towards me is rather creepy.

You really, REALLY, REA-LL-Y need to buy yourself a dictionary or consult http://www.thefreedictionary.com/sarcasm and read the definition of sarcasm.

To the OP; you don't need to be reminded of the obvious, so Nokia didn't bother with it. It's like with the iPod, it comes with a charging logo - but even if it wouldn't I'd OBVIOUSLY know I have to charge it. I think there's more important issues than a little logo to state you the obvious for dummies.

Isn't the huge yellow bar saying "low battery" enough for you?

Is that what it does? I've never got anywhere near that so I'll have to take your word for it.

Okay, just a general FYI: there's a very low threshold for nonsense in this particular subforum, so please stick to the purpose, thanks.

To the OP: please create a Brainstorm problem+solution as described in the Brainstorm instructions. Thanks!
