Charge level is a simple formula that is based solely on the battery voltage level.

yes, you are 100% right.

but samsung driver did not provide in any form current (which depends on battery load and so on).
so you NEVER got real values (it's just cannot be calculated)!

Been waiting for this for a long time!
Thanks a bunch!

Installation:
1. install developer certificates from #1 post
2. verify, that size of \windows\zylonite_battery.dll is 43520 bytes (if you have another size - sorry! or continue at your own risk)
3. backup your copy of \windows\zylonite_battery.dll to somethin (for example zylonite_battery.dll.org)
4. copy patched driver
5. reboot

Deinstallation:
1. Rename installed patched driver to somethin
2. Restore you backup (you should make backup at step 3 of installation!!!)
3. Soft reset
4. Delete renamed patched driver.

kabkab, you da man!!! Installed it, some brief testing shows it working, and the quirks I found on the 910 with your 900 version are gone -- power light is red during charging like it should be, phone suspends just fine either charging or discharging. In short, everything seems to be operating normally except I'm getting 1% increments now. Thank you so much. I think we can forget what we were discussing in private messages.

One comment on the accuracy of the percentage values: I suspect they are reasonably accurate during discharge. I have no factual basis for that, but it makes sense to me that they would tune the voltage-based algorithm to represent a true remaining charge as close as possible given the idle current draw when then device is awake (i.e. when you are simply looking at it to see the battery charge, for example).

Start getting the device busy, and the percentage becomes less accurate -- reading lower than actual remaining charge. During charging the indicator is complete junk, reading well above the actual charge in the battery, and not very useful to determine charge level.

Accurate to within 1% on discharge? No way. But, I'll bet far more accurate than +/-20%, the original accuracy. Within 5%? I'd take that bet...

I will second that - awesome job.  So far it's working perfectly on my i910 as well!!

[jmart518]

Excellent job kabkab!  It is working smooth now just like dwallersv said!  Thank you for this!

[Adrynalyne]

kabkab, do you have a donate link?

[kabkab]

For all ROM-makers (and everyone else) - yes, i don't mind to include this driver to you ROMs (btw, thx to you work!!!) or anywhere else!

again: on my i900 it's working good.
i have wm6.1 and DXID1 firmware.
i did not checked against wm6.5 or i910 (i don't have such device).

what don't work? did not shown or some bugs?
do you install it correctly? checked, that file copied and overwrite original? make soft reset?

install it correctly - yes
soft reset - yes

[scubamike]

I have the I910 and used the I910-specific file and back light won't shut off while on battery power. It stays off only when charging. Any thoughts?

[Franquicia]

I've install this patch and:

From 70% batt > Soft Reset > to 46%.

And now I dont know when my i900 is charging (Charge Icon dissabled).

[noshet]

For me, I'm with I900, Sector's Q1 rom, winmo 6.5 DXID1 firmware.
It is working good now.  don't find any issues with backlight, etc.
But haven't tried with wall charge yet, need to get home first...still at work

Thanks Kabkab...
