Battery Reporting 1/10th Actual Charge...
« on: June 19, 2005, 02:52:31 am »
Is it normal for the battery on my SimPad to not charge over 10 Percent? Because that's where it stops charging at....Any suggestions?

I just put OpenSimpad on it yesterday...

Okay, I just figured this out. The battery power applet is somehow dividing the amount of power by 10...

It says 10 percent, but when I run apm on the commandline, it says 100 percent...
and when I unplug it and it goes down to 97 percent, it says 9 percent...

It's annoying that it seems to think that my battery level is critical, when it's really not...

Is this a common problem with the latest build? Or did I do something wrong?

I'm doing my own build tonight, so if it is still messed up, I guess I'll just have to fix it myself
