I discharged it back down to 5% again. I don't have the stats unfortunately, it powered down while I was out. I plugged it back in and it's been charging. it's at 57% with ~4h to go till full. It powered down on me about 5 mins into charging, but I just powered it back up and it's been charging...

indeed. I didn't spot that. Stupid thing. I've just put the battery back in and now it's saying that it's at almost 30% charge. Should I let it discharge all the way again and do the 5 hour wait again? (these stats are from ~15 mins after putting the battery back in) $ cat...

stats <30s before it shutdown due to <5% battery: $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27500-0/voltage_now 3604000 $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27500-0/current_now -635000 That was nearly 5 hours ago now. I'll pop the battery back in and see how it goes soon. Hopefully we'll see some improvement.

This would have been helpful to know ~4 hours ago before i started discharging :P But I didn't have it plugged in anyway so it's all good.

aah, easy! I just switched it to fullscreen to see it:

Battery is now discharging. When I put it back in it said it was at 90% $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27500-0/capacity 89 $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27500-0/present 1 $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27500-0/status Discharging $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27500-0/temp 168 $ cat...

OK, battery is fully charged. It didn't make it all the way down to 80000 because it stopped charging, but it got pretty close. I had a script checking the values every 20 seconds: Wed Jul 22 20:53:20 EST 2020 $ cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq27500-0/voltage_now 4198000 $ cat...

OK, after keeping an eye on these numbers I'm able to answer my own question: the current is slowly dropping and will likely get to below 100000 pretty soon (currently at 150000 and charge is at 100.4%). it's meant to be 100000 800000 is a typo. If someone has an account on the wiki maybe you...

OK, I'm working on the battery calibration now. I'm getting close to 100% charged, but I'm unclear about this instruction from the wiki page you linked to: It seems to me that these two numbers are inconsistent. Probably a typo? Should it be 80000 rather than 800000, or 1000000 rather than...

Oh, sorry if I wasn't clear about exactly what happened: the screen blanked while i was typing on the pandora: i was ssh'd into my laptop from the pandora. Pressing a key or touching the screen didn't bring it back as I'd expect - I had to use the brightness keys. Also I'm running openbox, not...

Well I feel stupid. for some reason it's only just now occurred to me to try my spare battery! duh! It's at 88% (impressive, given that it's been about 3 years since I used it) and discharging. I'll let you know how it behaves.

More weirdness. OK, it's back up to a full charge. I checked once while charging and then again when the battery was at 102% (92% of design) and still charging. Not even warm. No temperature warnings in dmesg. BUT, I do see this: [ 67.757598] twl4030_bci twl4030_bci: spurious CHG_PRES irqs...

Thanks for the tips everybody. Apologies for my slow reply. Ouch. That's a lot of work. I'd rather debug it. As a last resort, sure, but I'm not inclined to just jump straight to that. Way ahead of you on that. But thanks :) I just did this and something odd happened: When I put the battery...

Thanks. I don't see any temp warnings at the moment. Is there a particular time I should be looking - when the system is idle? charging? not charging? >100% charge? I *DO*, however, see a few ubifs errors. That's the rootfs, right? A corrupted OS could cause all kinds of weirdness. Is there a...

Hi My pandora is doing some really weird stuff WRT charging. I've managed to convince myself that it's probably some kind of software issue. My pandora's usual resting spot when not in use or in my pocket is sitting on my coffee table, plugged into its charger, screen open but turned off...

Thanks for the update ED. I like the one-shot video, but I say you should do whatever is the least effort for you. If that's a written update then great, if it's a one-shot video then that's great too. I don't mind the discoloration at all. I doubt t will be very noticeable and I don't care if...

that sounds like a useful feature to have - the ability to have e.g shoulder buttons mapped to the 'capture' function. I'll add it to the TODO (there are a few other features I want for future versions, too) I've just discovered a bug with the current version, don't download it on your slow...

Damn, that's a slow line! Why is is so slow? are you somewhere really remote? There's a tarball of just the python files on the website (https://antisol.org/cameraleash/). You could spend the 12 hours (or perhaps make a trip to a library or something?) and download the PND once, then when...

We were initially trying to get entangle working but we weren't able to manage it, and then we never cleaned out all the unused stuff libraries (gtk3 was the big one). ptitseb compiled all that for me and I don't have the knowledge to know what is safe to get rid of. I'd welcome tips for things...

For anybody who searches the forums for gphoto2 in future, ptitseb compiled a PND for me with gphoto2 and a bunch of libraries, and then I wrote a pygtk tethering program called CameraLeash designed for the pandora (we couldn't get entangle working). link...
