Battery Meter and Temp reading "Fix" (workaround) (6/22 Update)

[Unknownforce]

This includes every update to the zImage including the one from yesterday, as to why certain things are not working with it, I don't know why that would be because I compile it with the latest update with only that battery modification. Everything on my device works just as it did and the only thing that changes is the battery meter when I change the zImage file...

I suggest trying to re-setup android from scratch.

If it will make a difference, I can post the modules file that compile with it as well, but it doesn't use the modules if you simply update the zImage file, if you watch the text when it boots it ignores that file because it's "already installed."

Thanks a lot. It's not as accurate, but it's definitely a step in the right direction. This is much appreciated. Thanks a Million

Hey, Wow! great F@$%ing Job! Impressive! works wonderfully one mine. No more low battery warning pop up every 2 minutes.

thank you very much for the temporary battery fix. i was hoping something like this would come out! unfortunately, now gps doesn't work for me (freezes android everytime i try to get my location), but having a battery indicator is much more important for me so whatever.

The zImage includes all zImage updates including the one from today ( 5/18/10 )

First of all thank you for doing this. I have tested it and it works really well.

I also noticed that there is a new zImage and modules from today (5/21/2010).

Is there any way you could make a new build of your zImage with the battery fix for today's build?

Thank you!

Done, same link, I moved the previous zImage to the old folder in there, just in case the new ones cause problems.

Thank you very much.

Have you contacted PHHuson to see if he can include your patch as part of the next commit?

I think everyone would benefit from it even if it isn't perfect yet.

You are the man

He is just waiting for some feedback on it, and then may add it as a temp fix until the real fix is completed. He will also have to track if this workaround breaks the WiFi, or if its just an unlucky coincidence.
