No problem for devices with MTK Power Bypass.

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.

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.

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

@PhAndersson there's active OpenStore matrix room.

Request a USB tethering test for Suzu.

@peat_psuwit make sure to include this fix.

@Eric-H said in Resurrection of Indicator Upower:

I can see POWER_SUPPLY_CHARGE_TYPE=Fast in udev battery info, so it seems to be a fast charge.

No, I got Fast with low-end 7W charger too. My guess it's POWER_SUPPLY_FASTCHARGE_MODE=1. My device has POWER_SUPPLY_HI_POWER.

How much power can your charger deliver? POWER_SUPPLY_POWER_NOW=39764516 looks realistic for 45W.

I also tried to find the Fast Charging voltage (9..12V) on BMS and failed, so you can try it too. Probably not being monitored by software. And all of this is very device-specific.

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

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

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

@Eric-H fixed.

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.

uFirefox is still far from having an android-style mobile experience

Still the best browser for modern websites on UT.

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

New release with many fixes.

@Eric-H great job.

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.

@Eric-H try the next rule with 0664:

ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="power_supply", KERNEL=="battery", RUN+="/bin/chmod 0664 /sys/class/power_supply/%k/charging_enabled", RUN+="/bin/chown phablet /sys/class/power_supply/%k/charging_enabled"
