Extended Battery Info

redshift wrote:Hello!

I would like to have extended battery info... the normal is easy, I use this now:

TDriveInfo info;
RFs fs;
fs.Connect();
fs.Drive(info);
return (info.iBattery==EBatLow);

I have found a method for the extended battery info... just it doesn't want to work correctly:

TSupplyInfoV1 iSupplyInfo;
TPckg<TSupplyInfoV1> sI(iSupplyInfo);

UserSvr::HalGet(ESupplyInfo,&sI);

Now the iSupplyInfo contains interesting members: iMainBatteryMaxMilliVolts, iMainBatteryMilliVolts. The problem is the "iMainBatteryMilliVolts" is always 0, while the "iMainBatteryMaxMilliVolts" is filled with a correct number (probably: 3000).

Do you know a solution?

This sounds very interesting, but which .h and which .lib files do I need to link to get these methods working?

Hey,

I saw your post on the nokia forum, I just can't answer there... (cannot login, while the user and password are both correct).

So...
I found the right headers in the 6.0 SDK... M32HAL.h and U32STD.h.
I checked the 7.0s, but can't find anything like TSupplyInfo - probably isn't supported.

We don't really support the S80 series any more 😞
As I remember, none of these worked... the TDriveInfo and TSupplyInfo.

I found another possible solution, but simply can't remember which of them worked...

TInt batStatus=HAL::EPowerBatteryStatus_Zero;
TInt err=HAL::Get(HAL::EPowerBatteryStatus, batStatus);
TInt strength=batStatus;

/* this one works on UIQ, f.e. */
RSystemAgent systemAgent;
User::LeaveIfError(systemAgent.Connect());
TInt strength = systemAgent.GetState(KUidBatteryStrength);

I think we should look for "volt" around int the .h ...
I found some interesting functions about "volt", but they always return same values; I wonder if we should initialize something before querying for battery strength?

I guess this will only return the same valkue displayed in the status pane... :frown:
