        @paulcarroty said in Resurrection of Indicator Upower:

        I need beta testers to check the limiting battery's charge.

        Test 1:

        • when charge is less than 85%, device charges :

          tail /sys/class/power_supply/battery/{battery_,}charging_enabled
          ==> /sys/class/power_supply/battery/battery_charging_enabled <==
          1
          
          ==> /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charging_enabled <==
          1
          
        • when charge is more than 85%, device doesn't charge (and doesn't seem to discharge until unplugged)

          tail /sys/class/power_supply/battery/{battery_,}charging_enabled
          ==> /sys/class/power_supply/battery/battery_charging_enabled <==
          0
          
          ==> /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charging_enabled <==
          1
          

          (when unplugging, the values in the two files return to 1)

          Test 2 (with udev rules) : same results as test 1

          I applied udev rules from README :

          phablet@ubuntu-phablet:~$ ls -al /sys/class/power_supply/battery/{battery_,}charging_enabled
          -rw-rw-r-- 1 phablet system 4096 févr. 17 17:28 /sys/class/power_supply/battery/battery_charging_enabled
          -rw-rw-r-- 1 phablet system 4096 févr. 17 17:06 /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charging_enabled
          
          • when charge is less than 85%, device charges :
            tail /sys/class/power_supply/battery/{battery_,}charging_enabled
            ==> /sys/class/power_supply/battery/battery_charging_enabled <==
            1
            
            ==> /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charging_enabled <==
            1
            
          • when charge is more than 85%, device doesn't charge (and doesn't seem to discharge until unplugged) :
            tail /sys/class/power_supply/battery/{battery_,}charging_enabled
            ==> /sys/class/power_supply/battery/battery_charging_enabled <==
            0
            
            ==> /sys/class/power_supply/battery/charging_enabled <==
            1
            

          (when unplugging, the values in the two files return to 1)

                Yo, power monitoring and fast charging detection are now supported and I need beta testers (again!) to check how well it works.

                You need to install the latest build from Github Actions and start charging your device. If something is wrong - submit your power.txt.

                  I installed latest build, and the app no longer starts.

                        About this error :
                        ValueError: could not convert string to float: '3,65353'

                        Maybe it is a localization error (french) : there is a comma instead of a point

                          @Eric-H yeah, upower depends on current locale. Fixed by enforcing 🇺🇸

                            Reinstalled. It seems to work fine.
                            Do you need specific tests ?

                              @Eric-H test fast charging if you have the hardware for.

                                Sorry, I couldn't do the test before today...

                                So I used the Xiaomi charger supplied with the phone (which fully charges in less than half an hour) with the latest version (0.7) of uPower, but it seems that fast charging is not detected and there's nothing related in the logs.

                                  Eric-H Attach the power.txt file when the battery is being charged and has less than 50% capacity.

                                    I tried to generate the power.txt file but there is an error on stderr :

                                    cat: '/sys/devices/platform/soc/c440000.qcom,spmi/spmi-0/spmi0-00/c440000.qcom,spmi:qcom,pm6150@0:qcom,qpnp-smb5/power_supply/main/health': Invalid argument
                                    

                                    The health files exists and is world readable :

                                    The error persists even if I try to

                                    • add double quotes,
                                    • add simple quotes

                                      For some unknown reason, today the message on stderr did not appear.

                                      So here is the power.txt file for surya attached.
                                      or see at https://dpaste.org/hCcZO

                                      I can see POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_TYPE=Fast in udev battery info, so it seems to be a fast charge.
                                      What should Indicator Upower display ?
