[Bug 1317860] Re: the phone should switch itself off before completely draining battery

 

Just to add a note here:

The upower config is NOT using percentages. It's using the calculated
remaining time...

>From /etc/UPower/UPower.conf

# Policy for warnings and action based on battery levels
#
# Whether battery percentage based policy should be used. The default
# is to use the time left, change to true to use the percentage, which
# should work around broken firmwares.
# default=false
UsePercentageForPolicy=false

Title:
  the phone should switch itself off before completely draining battery

Status in Canonical System Image:
  In Progress
Status in Ubuntu UX:
  Fix Committed
Status in indicator-power package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  the phone should switch itself off at around ~5% remaining battery.

  This is to preserve a little battery for use cases such as:

  * turn it back on once or twice for urgent short phone calls
  * prevent the battery from going into a state where it can't be charged any more
  * have enough power to turn itself on again and trigger an alarm

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Power#auto-off>: "The device should hibernate
  (PC) or power off (phone/tablet) if both of these things are true: *
  there is less than 2% battery remaining * there has been more than 3%
  battery remaining at some point since the last time the device
  hibernated or powered off."
