Nov 02 07:51:48 <aloniv> how long should first charge of freerunner battery last? if i didn't charge it enough the first time do i need to switch battery for longer battery life?
Nov 02 08:01:12 <aloniv> batterylife is less than 3 days using 1024 fixed phone with qtmoko on a new device
Nov 02 11:13:52 <PaulFertser> aloniv: do you have deep sleep enabled in qtmoko?
Nov 02 11:53:26 <aloniv> PaulFertser: yes
Nov 02 11:53:38 <aloniv> that's why it's about 3 days and not 1.5 days
Nov 02 11:54:00 <aloniv> the phone is new - I only have it a few weeks
Nov 02 11:58:49 <PaulFertser> aloniv: if the battery is new and you're using it very lightly, well, it's a bit on the low side, yes.
Nov 02 11:59:02 <PaulFertser> aloniv: have you taken a look at /sys/class/power_supply/battery/uevent ?
Nov 02 12:01:13 <aloniv> I viewed it using "cat" - anything to look for?
Nov 02 12:01:44 <aloniv> health appears as good
Nov 02 12:01:49 <PaulFertser> aloniv: yes, interpret the values in there to see in what condition your battery is.
Nov 02 12:02:12 <aloniv> which values?
Nov 02 12:02:19 <PaulFertser> aloniv: those you see
Nov 02 12:04:16 <aloniv> i see charge full=1030302
Nov 02 12:04:45 <aloniv> is that a good value?
Nov 02 12:05:07 <PaulFertser> aloniv: 1200000 would be better of course
Nov 02 12:05:23 <aloniv> (also, i turned off wifi and bluetooth using om battery power or gui)
Nov 02 12:05:31 <aloniv> so the battery is corrupt?
Nov 02 12:05:59 <aloniv> or will it reach that number after a few discharges?
Nov 02 12:06:05 <aloniv> (and charges)
Nov 02 12:07:06 <aloniv> i do have another spare battery - should i charge it a long time before use (e.g. 8 hours or longer)?
Nov 02 12:09:01 <PaulFertser> aloniv: charging long time before the first use doesn't change much afaik.
Nov 02 12:09:07 <PaulFertser> aloniv: can you show me the full info?
Nov 02 12:09:12 <PaulFertser> aloniv: was that battery new?
Nov 02 12:09:17 <aloniv> yes it was
Nov 02 12:09:34 <PaulFertser> You can use bq27k-detail script to learn more about it, e.g. how many charge/discharge cycles it went for.
Nov 02 12:09:46 <aloniv> i only charged mabe 3 hours first time and used phone briefly (no calls but set up some things)
Nov 02 12:09:58 <aloniv> the full file?
Nov 02 12:10:07 <aloniv> yeah I'll copy other values
Nov 02 12:10:36 <aloniv> temp=263
Nov 02 12:11:12 <aloniv> charge_now=976752
Nov 02 12:11:29 <aloniv> current_now=76125
Nov 02 12:11:57 <aloniv> volatage_now=4092000
Nov 02 12:12:26 <aloniv> time_to_empty_now=48540
Nov 02 12:12:46 <aloniv> time_to_full_now=3932100
Nov 02 12:12:57 <aloniv> i'll swap battery sec
Nov 02 12:13:16 <aloniv> technology=li-on
Nov 02 12:13:23 <aloniv> *li-ion
Nov 02 12:15:27 <aloniv> it's on 95 percent battery life
Nov 02 12:17:38 <aloniv> the other battery i popped in has much lower charge_full value
Nov 02 12:17:47 <aloniv> just 818779
Nov 02 12:18:44 <aloniv> i'll charge it though as it isn't sure the battery is healthy
Nov 02 12:36:51 <PaulFertser> aloniv: if you charge it to the maximum (until it says it's not charging any more) and then discharge low enough, it'll recalibrate itself.
Nov 02 12:37:27 <aloniv> ok i'll try...
Nov 02 12:37:42 <aloniv> by low enough do you mean 5 percent or less?
Nov 02 12:41:10 <PaulFertser> aloniv: i don't really remember, you'd need to read bq27000 datasheet to tell for sure
