How to disable low battery messages

handyguy · 03-22-2020, 12:27 PM

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is a way to disable the PW4 low/critical battery warning messages? They muck up my hacked clock screen!
Yes, I will charge it (eventually) but I would like the app to run as long as possible. My clock code already emails me when the battery gets low.
Thanks for any suggestions!

IIRC, that's a popup handled by pillow. Do you happen to already stop pillow?

i rest on a pillow, but I have never stopped a pillow...
pillow sounds sort of critical, as the java interface to lipc?

It handles some low-level GUI stuff (say, screensavers for instance ;p), but it shouldn't be critical (and I don't think stuff complains too much if it's down), and you can always restart it when you're done

.

I *think* (been a while, don't remember the exact upstart depgraph ^^) it's part of what's killed during an MRPI run, for instance, and KOReader also hobbles it during its own runtime.

Thanks Niluje! Down to 9% and no warning messages.
