Battery capacity [not relevant]
asked 2014-08-18 17:33:08 +0300
After almost 8 months of the first Jolla phone was sold, we still don't find spare batteries in the Jolla Shop or by any official distributor. To deliver a clear message about their urgent need I hope that the most active phone users could provide their current battery capacity in a comment - And hope to see an answer from Jolla solving the issue (There are no other way to lift up the capacity but providing a spare battery)
How to:
- Developer mode needed
- Start app called "terminal" (becomes visible in developer mode to your launcher)
- write ´upower -d´ and press enter
- Search the reading for "capacity" and post it as a comment
EDIT: Please note the the capacity reading differs depending on your latest chargings, showing less if the phone has been charged only partially lately. You should get the biggest (and most accurate) readings after a couple of full charges. The amount of current charge percentage shouldn't matter.
