2010-11-28 18:17:12 Paul Sladen description The mouse over text for the battery icon says "Laptop battery (estimating...)" Could this not be extended to "Laptop battery (estimating battery life...)" without any loss? It will leave less options for being confused/in doubt. The drop-down menu for the indicator-applet battery icon menu says "Laptop battery (estimating...)" At a minimum this be fixed to read "Laptop batter (estimating time...)" or "Laptop battery (estimating battery life...)". Ideally if the remaining battery *time* is not known (because less than sufficient datapoints have been collected to enable estimation) then the percentage should be displayed in-lieu. The percentage is already available and is used to drive the indicator-applet icon itself. The current implementation is specified by: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BatteryStatusMenu#Items but because the "estimating..." text can exist for days-on-end (nearly a week in the case of this computer) it probably needs a slight tweak or design addition to take account of the time estimation not being available for long periods of time.

See bug #629258 for previous (lukewarm) discussions on the lower-stack issues. This two bugs might want re-splitting/sorting again based on those that relate to the chrono estimate not being known, and those that relate to the pointless display of that unknown data for long periods of time.
