Dude, I took this screen shot on my N900 while watching the getting started video.

If it's 54% charged it would have 46% remaining...

Also lshal | remaining_time said, for me, 7200 seconds. That's 2 hours.

It's 46% charged and I can say right now, with several weeks of past experience, that there's no way I'll get only 2 hours out of a half charged n900. I'll get about 6 I'd imagine....

So I'm with the previous posters, a "time remaining" would be mostly useless.

Sorry but this makes no sense to me. If the phone is reporting a 56% charge how can it mean that it has 46% remaning . I have just charged my phone and it's telling me I have a 97% charge, does this mean I have 3% battery left? Could you explain this furthur please?

Same as laptops and it is very useful to me!

No, it means you have consumed 3%.

I am doing something like this:

lsusb | grep 'remaining_time =' | awk '{printf "%s", $3}'

and I getting 14400 all the time, but my % is moving, so I dont think this is trully working.
Besides there is other value which shows battery.remaining_time.calculte_per_time = false, so I think it is not really updating this info.

What we can do is, as workaround, assume a battery with 100% charge will last for 24 hours, and then multiply it by the % reamining. That is, if you have 50% it will shows 12hs left.

I have modified batt % of the Desktop Command Exe Wid to this:

hal-device bme | awk -F"[. ]" '$5 == "is_charging" {chrg = $7}; $5 == "percentage" {perc = $7; time = $7/100*24} END if (chrg == "false") {print perc "% (" time "hs)"} else {print "Chrg"}'

It will show % and time considering that the batt will last 24hs with avg use.
