Title:
Battery time remaining fluctuates wildly, despite charge declining
predictably
Status in “gnome-power-manager” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Please take a look at the attachment.
The percentage charge remaining on my battery appears to show my
battery emptying fairly predictably (graph #1). However, the very
important Time to Empty statistic fluctuates quite a lot (graph #2).
Certainly more than the charge remaining graph suggests it should. I
believe this is because of the rate of power consumption (graph #3).
I believe that the Time to Empty statistic should be refined to take
into account a longer period of time previously. Clearly the statistic
needs to change if more power demanding activities are being carried
out. However, it shouldn't change so rapidly - brief fluctuates should
effectively be ignored.
The Time to Empty number is incredibly important to users' use of
portable devices.
Note: this may be something that needs addressing in one of gnome-
power-manager's dependencies, I don't know the stack well enough. So
please reassign if necessary.
