hexnewbieMaemo Leste tells me that for N900 battery calibration I just need to fully charge + 10 minutes and wait for full discharge. Some other sources tell me that for Maemo (not Leste) I need to follow complex instructions, unload modules, etc. Is this because of differences in the OSes?08:32
sicelo10 minutes?08:33
hexnewbieI accidentally fully charged an N900 with Maemo & uncalibrated [recently bought] battery, it's not at 15% or so. Would it get better calibrated once it discharges, or should I simply plug the charger and not care?08:33
hexnewbieit's *now* at 15%08:33
hexnewbieThe phone is using Maemo08:33
hexnewbie*not* Leste08:33
siceloand no, you don't really need to unload any modules even in Maemo Fremantle08:34
hexnewbieLeste wiki says “Fully charge Nokia N900. Don't detach the charger immediately, give it some time after you see "Fully charged" message (10 minutes should be enough).”08:34
hexnewbieWhich is why I said + 10 minutes08:34
hexnewbieI may have given it more, since I had to do some house keeping while it was at green light08:35
siceloin most cases, just use the device normally and let it learn capacity on its own, but yes, if you specifically want to calibrate, then you need to charge to full, then discharge completely with normal usage08:35
hexnewbieI never fully discharged, and I stopped fully charging it a month or two ago (getting the battery 3 months ago), so I don't think it has learned anything. So I may let it discharge.08:38
hexnewbieMy only remaining concern is if ubifs and ext3 at too much of a risk if I miss any final warning that the battery is low.08:39
hexnewbieIt's at 11% (fully charged Monday around 15-18 UTC)08:41
sicelothere's no risk. the device will do a graceful shutdown08:58
hexnewbieThanks09:14
joergthere's significant difference between genuine PR1.3 maemo and CSSU maemo21:02

joerghowever be aware that genuine maemo5 doesn't care about BQ27200 charge gas gauge, the battery charge indicator relies on BME blob (and HAL?)21:29
joergboth denuine maemo4 and CSSU will shut down gracefully when battery voltage drops too low21:30
joerggenuine*21:30
joergmaemo5*21:31
joergit's still unclear how BME does battery charge state computation and if it calibrates at all21:32
