Charging status when in sleep

autagi · 12-13-2020, 10:51 AM

Is there any settings to do in order to see charging status when Kobo with Koreader running is in sleep mode? I think somethings like in base system the visualize charging status.
Thanks

xref: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/issues/6989 (and a few similar requests in the past).

TL;DR: No, because it's asleep.

When a device is slept it is slept.
There is nothing we can do with a slept device unless we wake it up.

Plug/unplug the USB cable wakes the device but we suspend it again: https://github.com/koreader/koreader....lua#L163-L176

So nope, it won't happen.

Yeah, wake it up and have a look.

If we are talking about while the device is actually charging, then the need for it to actually be "sleeping" is pretty much not there. Perhaps just a light doze with most background processes + WiFi and frontlight shut down. Maybe, the option could be dependent upon a "USB" power connection being present?

That's not as easy as it looks.

Some devices will actually *stop* charging when hitting 100%, while some will either keep trickle charging or bypass the battery and keep being flagged as charging.
This depends on the device, and on the type of charger.

Unfortunately, the only devices where we can have (halfway) reliable info about these sort of details are Mk. >= 7.

So, no, not going to mess with the already fragile Kobo suspend code for something like that

.
(This was already messy enough to deal with in a vacuum, so, no thanks).
