taob Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Installed the bundle referenced in keithpk's first post and it seems to work fine on my Thinkpad T60p 2623-DDU. The menubar icon correctly switches from battery to AC, and both the percentage and estimated time are displayed while on battery. The calculation for "time until full" while charging does not seem to work. Actually, I'm not sure if the battery level is updated while on AC at all (which would explain why it can never calculate the time-to-charge). However, it works well while on battery power, which is the important thing.

MaidenFan Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 Have downloaded and installed it, nothing happening with my Acer Aspire 5630. System profiler shows the battery, but the information is patchy, example being the amperage is shown as zero and the AC Charger information is shown as zero watts, and always connected and charging. Any suggestions guys? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nullius Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Works for me on a Dell Inspiron 8600 (PM 1,6ghz with Radeon Mobility 9600 Pro). Battery icon is showing well. Problem is that the sleep function hangs. Whenever i close my LCD or choose the sleep function of mac, my system freezes. I just can't get out of it. Somebody had any solution for it ? Thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks in advance For me this has never worked with or without power management. I just avoid using sleep mode. Also had to turn all energy saving features off because otherwise my Mac freezes after being idle for some period of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazar Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Don't work after updating to 10.4.9. Maybe because of removing AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement.kext? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Green Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 Works great on my inspiron 8500 sse2 10.4.9 8.9.1 kernel BUT: When i boot my laptop on battery, the processor is recognized as 1ghz slower than it should be, and the computer runs slow. But the worst thing is that the computer's sense of time is messed up. The clock in the corner runs about 5 times the speed it should, and animations are out of control. Bouncing dock applicaitons look like jackhammers! Again, this is only when running on battery. If anyone has any ideas, that would be great. The slowness of the computer is ok, but the sped-up graphics are unbareable. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViennaL Posted June 15, 2007 Share Posted June 15, 2007 It does NOT WORK on my Acer TM 3002 It still says calculating BUT if I remove the battery it tells me "No Batteries available" that tells me that it sees the battery but cannot read capacity or calculate time. How can i fix this? Any ideas? It must be only a short hack away from success. Please write back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViennaL Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 sorry for pushing but this is the only thing that does not work on my hackintosh at the moment. A friend told me that there are other bundles and kexts available for getting a battery status - where can i find them? How can i "grep" battery information in command line? sysctl?

fanaras Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 I have some problems on my acer 5683. First, It doesn't calculate the charging time correctly (the battery is still charging but the icon says "battery full". Second, When i unplug the battery, it still thinks there is a battery connected although it says "no batteries available". This doesn't allow energy saver to switch to "power adapter" settings. I wish i could help the programming of a good working version, but i am just a meteorologist. what happens if you unplug the battery? Does the "power" icon apear?

fanaras Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 I found another problem. It doesn't work with the AppleACPIPlatform.kext from version 10.4.10. I think somebody should make a tutorial to teach us what changes did to the code so we can try build our own version of PowerManagement.bundle.

ViennaL Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 yeah i tried to open it with Xcode but although I can code Java and pascal i thought ... what the {censored}! *g* No Idea where to start ... i think its a kext problem and not the bundle.

GenMatrix Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 If I had to guess, I would guess that your CPU lowers it's speed when it gets unplugged to preserve battery life. So when that happens it you're getting less processing power for everything, thus the slow motion that occurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinji257 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I found another problem. It doesn't work with the AppleACPIPlatform.kext from version 10.4.10. I think somebody should make a tutorial to teach us what changes did to the code so we can try build our own version of PowerManagement.bundle. Did reverting to the previous installed version of the AppleACPIPlatform.kext file correct this for you? I just installed the update (release version by pascalw) and that was when it stopped working so it had to be one of kexts. I will try and revert to the one from 10.4.9 and see if it does anything for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinji257 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Well I just tried it. DO NOT DO THIS! Restoring the AppleACPIPlatform.kext file from 10.4.9 resulted in a kernel panic from Mac OS. This also messed up my install since my restore image failed. I will start over taking a different approach this time (go straight to 10.4.10) and see how much works right away and how much is broken then work from there.

mks2000 Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 Thanks man! This is great! This is one of those many many little improvements that make the System perfect. We need stuff like this. Just did it, and it works. No hassle. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinji257 Posted August 30, 2007 Share Posted August 30, 2007 One possible bug here but it shows 116% battery power when running on AC. It reverts back to the correct reading when it is on battery though. Does anyone know how to make it compatible with 10.4.10? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
