Almost certainly this is related to installing/uninstalling powatool. Any ideas short of reflashing?

Have you rebooted? Is is a genuine Nokia battery?

sorodoros | # 3 | 2010-02-24, 21:37 | Report

Yes. I even changed to another Nokia battery.

I have checked the actual level using grep percen, and I get true readings that way, while the icon is full. At the low threshold it suddenly drops to nothing. Wierd.

thats freaky :| :|

Tried re-installing it to see if it fixes it? hehe

Very weird - is the battery level shown in the system menu incorrect as well?

sorodoros | # 7 | 2010-02-24, 21:55 | Report

Yes it is wrong as well.

Powatool? I actually tried that...

I wonder if this is related to my issue?
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?p=579531

The battery icon is full, but when I run: "lshal | grep percent" it says: 77

I had Load-Applet installed, but un-installed it (along with some other apps) after I started having issues...

Looks like there are some bugs related to the N900 battery reporting:

Hopefully this gets fixed in PR 1.2
