Rockbox mail archiveSubject: Battery display, again...Battery display, again...
From: Tom Burrus <tvburrus_at_bellsouth.net>
Date: 03 May 2003 18:46:47 -0400 Uwe has a point here. Display accuracy is impossible while charging (especially for those Li batteries in the FM.) But I have to say that the patch that mimics the SonyEricsson phones is a very good compromise. See patch "Charging animation looks like in SonyEricsson mobile phones" number 699340. This patch displays a battery graphic during charging but as the battery is charging, the battery icon fills up slowly until it is full. I have been using this patch and it consistently provides me the feedback I need and it is not at all confusing. No need for accuracy as the battery icon continues to fill up during charging. Since I use a numeric battery, it stays an icon for a time after it is filled (still charging) and I don't remove the charger until it becomes numeric again. (I recommend turning on the trickle charge option as well.) It is such a simple patch, I wonder why it isn't in the production build? Thanks to Alex for this.
