FS#8319 - Battery % Does not update
|
DetailsI have a 1200mah battery and I have it set that way in rockbox. I will plug it into a wall charger and rockbox will stay on/running (maybe another bug?) and I will come back even up to 5 hours later and the % of the battery hasn't changed. I can restart the iPod and it will update the %.

This task depends upon
I am using build 17488.
For firmware/powermgmt.c (In the function power_thread_sleep()),
when the battery was larger than 8% and does not charging,
the voltage of the battery and the remainder capacity of battery.
I send this bug's patch.
For iPod Color/Video, it was confirmed that this problem had solved.
After original Rockbox binary (r17611) install in your iPod color/photo,
replace new firmware.
The above problem is different from the original problem.
In the item of the debug menu, there was something without the processing
when connecting it with the charger.
I send new patches.
1.fs8319_2.patch
For fs8319.patch, a little corrected.
- fimware/powermgmt.c
It was corrected that the capacity of the battery was correctly calculated
when Rockbox connected it with the USB cable (not charger).
2.fs8319_3.patch
The above problem's patch.
- apps/debug_menu.c
When Rockbox connects USB or a charger,
it was corrected that this machine was charged.
And I send the Rockbox firmware which apply 2 patchs.(for iPod color/photo).
After original Rockbox binary (r17622) install in your iPod color/photo,
replace new firmware.
Thank you for confirming the operation of the Rockbox that I corrected.
The problem that changed into the value that the percent of the battery is small was
corrected in the much more if charging the iPod.
I send the new firmware (base on svn 17703).
(The patch file see http://www.rockbox.org/tracker/9072.)
Please, could you advise to be happened when what operation is done though the hard disk still turned while charging it?
While Rockbox moving, when it charges, because electric power consumption is many, it is almost not charged.
It is very difficult to gather charge speed.
