This is on a W701:
When charge thresholds are set, the kernel does not know about the current battery state. While the battery is idling at the threshold with AC attached for example, I get this:
$ cat /sys/class/power_supply/BAT0/status
Unknown
I am aware that tp_smapi exports its own interface under /sys/devices/platform/smapi, but many tools and daemons such as Upower are unaware of it and will not implemented driver-specific interfaces.
The result is that Upower assumes that the battery is charging, while it is not.
It would be very useful if tp_smapi could also override the power_supply entries in sysfs to provide the correct status, among other things.
Thanks!
