(Get the code!)
It seems to be getting worse after current stable update (Ubuntu 31), battery refused to load beyond 58%, probably because voltage was above charging voltage.
It really seems like power driver is taking relative units for absolute, or making some strange kind of calculation towards charge/discharge level based on measurment statistics.
Right now it resumed charging after switching to another power source, and some persuasion. I have no idea what's going on at low level seeing as the battery indicator looks like it's yielding arbitrary numbers (though it does rise when charging and fall when discharging).
Shouldn't we be giving a relative index, or possibly measuring percentage by comparing this index with minimum and maximum values? Is that already what we're doing?
Anyways, thanks for any help on reading the battery indicator. Seeing as Ubuntu phones ship with non-replaceable batteries, the least would be not to kill them within a month.
Thanks for your work (and I guess it's hard to predict physics),
