status-menu.plugins is messed up.
Can you also attach status-menu.plugins.ap?

I have an educated guess for the reason and type of conflict here.

The easiest (and only?) way to read values from BME is through HAL. One could run a `lshal | grep battery.charge_level.percentage´ command on shell for example, and see what BME thinks is the current value.

However, when the bq module is inserted, it also starts to provide a similarly named value to HAL. Indeed, you can repeat the above lshal command when bq driver is active, and it outputs two (different) values for percentage. Apps that read the percentage this way have a good chance to get confused.

Properly selecting what values to read can be done with -u switch to lshal:or by using the hal-device command:
As far as I understand, this is the only kind of conflict there exists between BME and the bq driver.

Can anybody help me here? It was really nice prior to having to reflash knowing apx how much I had left, I hate the default battery candle but that is what I am stuck with now

No additional info, no crystal ball nearby.

sorry I have a few postings on the prior page, basically, installing this app removes my battery icon and seems to do nothing else...I had to reflash everything when I went to pr 1.3, but this app worked for me in pr 1.2

Could this be made to work without requiring a deamon running in the back ground ? At least as an option if someone wanted just the better battery display ?

Okay, basically, it looks like you had an Advanced Monitor install glitch. This is what my status-menu.pluging looks like:
Keep in mind when you look through the above that I added two things, and moved the order of stuff around (by changing the position numbers). However, in general, it's useful. Namely this part:
What you can do is, as root, copy your status-menu.plugins.ap as status-menu.plugins, and then replace the part that says:
with the above chunk (the one you're replacing tells hildon to use the original battery, one you're replacing it with tells hildon to use the Adv. Power one).

Or you can try uninstalling and reinstalling advanced power. The status menu getting messed up is probably a one-time glitch.

tomchiverton: I don't think it's possible. The advanced power battery display is 'better' than the stock mainly because of what the daemon does. I wouldn't worry about it influencing performance or battery. The N900 firmware has a bunch of daemons in it already.

thanks I wll check this out when I have ssh access. sure hope I don't end up having to do a total reflash (already has one this week).

a restart does not help.

so the process would be install the app and after it does not show up then edit the config correct?
