The Indicator Upower now supports battery charging limit on MTK and other devices - don't forget to reinstall indicator if this feature didn't work in older releases.

I have a working build for 20.04: https://github.com/paulcarroty/indicator-upower

Feel free to test it. Submitting /sys/class/power_supply/ will be helpful in adding support for your device.

New release arrived, thx to all contributors.

Ahoy, there's battery_charging_enabled support in the latest builds and I need beta testers to check the limiting battery's charge.

You need to apply new udev rule from README and install the latest build from Github Actions.

The v1.2 contains important fix for limited charging. The indicator reinstallation or udev rule manual update is required.

I use locked brightness at level 4. This solves the problem - the screen is darker and doesn't hurt my eyes anymore.

The app has been submitted to the Open Store and should be reviewed by the Ubports maintainers (it seems):

This app needs to be reviewed manually
'unconfined' not allowed

You can also download it from Github (link in the first post). All features of the latest 16.04 build should work.

@alagirialagiri submit your Pixel data.

@Eric-H probably the store review still in progress.

@PhAndersson to be 100% sure which version/channel is going to be flashed, go to https://system-image.ubports.com/24.04-2.x/ and check the latest manually.

P.S. Battery life isn't good on the 2.x daily, -30% last night.

X00TD works fine.

$ df -h /dev/mmcblk0p13

@los-tioz camera works fine on the latest RC.

There's clock workaround: open Settings, then click on "Time & Date". "Set time and date" should be set to "automatically".

No problem for devices with MTK Power Bypass.

@arubislander said:

Unless you don't mind your battery degrading, because the device would be constantly plugged in to the charger, you would have to device a routine for charging and discharging the device.

@sm-xcx yeah, 24.04 works well, so remove "abandoned" label for now. Heard that VoLTE works too, Hotspot was fixed long time ago.

This device page needs the fix too.

@DJac works for me on the same device with enabled time autosync.

@PhAndersson there's active OpenStore matrix room.
