Jan 13 13:38:51 I read that sometimes unofficial batteries cause the battery meter to malfunction in N900's Jan 13 13:39:31 Are there any other known causes for the battery meter to constantly show 100% and then low battery suddenly? Jan 13 13:39:52 calibration? Jan 13 13:39:57 or dying batt Jan 13 13:40:11 I calibrated last night Jan 13 13:40:14 install battery-eye Jan 13 13:40:25 you will see how the discharge curve looks Jan 13 13:41:57 Thanks Jan 13 13:42:26 and keep in mind calibration might take more than one attempt Jan 13 13:43:02 because bq doesnt like big changes and gets there in smaller steps Jan 13 13:43:24 I see Jan 13 13:48:30 Does anybody know any mirror for tablets-dev.nokia.com (this one is offline now) Jan 13 13:48:39 ~maemo-repos Jan 13 13:48:40 [maemo-repos] http://wiki.maemo.org/Repository#List_of_Maemo_repositories Jan 13 13:49:18 battery-eye doesn't show anything...

Jan 13 13:56:49 badcloud: nah, just generic battery info Jan 13 13:56:57 you dont need it for calibration Jan 13 13:57:10 Gotcha Jan 13 13:57:15 but it's useful to familiarize how your battery perfroms week to week Jan 13 13:57:15 Thanks Jan 13 13:57:21 True Jan 13 13:57:41 basically, too low voltage and phone will shutdown Jan 13 13:58:05 older batteries tend to have lower voltage sooner, and drop quick on bigger loads Jan 13 13:58:35 swapper1: if you cant find the flashing images for n8x0 i might search if i have them somewhere still Jan 13 13:59:21 Is there a good place to buy "new" batteries?
