Spiralofhope: /* hard shutdown */ -- removing my old question about the hard shutdown

"10-20% per day charge loss (est)" - mine does not discharge nearly this much on it's own while powered off for a day. --[[User:Cheese|Cheese]] 07:13, 26 June 2010 (MEST)

That was borrowed from some forum chat, it would be good to collect some numbers (see table below), both for going through a power cycle (chews battery on my phone) and powering up after 12/24/48 hours off. I also wonder if some batteries are more leaky than others. 50% loss over a weekend was (i think) quoted.--[[User:Tsh|Tsh]] 19:43, 26 June 2010 (MEST)

==Self-discharge==
Off 13 hours = 100% -> 99%. (tsh)<br />
Off 18 hours = 97% -> 97% (cheese)<br />
Off 13 hours = 39% -> 44% (Ivanovic, FS#136)

Based on this, maybe taking a reading immediately after power on is not reliable, so I now suggest taking 2 readings, one immediately after power on, one 15 min later (after sitting idle) --[[User:Tsh|Tsh]] 12:48, 5 July 2010 (MEST)

The total battery drain over the course of one week and one day, with a few minutes of usage on two occasions, was 6%. [http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/24-battery-drain/page__view__findpost__p__6088]

==Charge times==
Low power 1:36 17%->51% (->63% after 3 min not charging)(tsh)

==Low power==
"the CPU max speed is set to 14 MHz"

Is it still true ?--[[User:Linux-SWAT|Linux-SWAT]] 00:37, 27 May 2011 (MEST)

== All off (as low power state) ==

With WiFi off, screen off (Hotfix 3)

500 MHz 4h10m 81%->63% (~23 hours battery life)<br>
50 MHz 4 hours, 62% -> 45% (same as above)

Hotfix 4
250 MHz, opp1 2:55, 10% (30 hours)

== MP3 only ==

500 MHz 63 min, 6% (17.5 hours)-exaile<br>
500 MHz 2:54, 16% (18 hours) - ommpc<br>
500 MHz opp5 1:15, 7% (18 hours) - deadbeef<br>
900 MHz opp5 2:30, 15% (18 hours) - deadbeef<br>
250 MHz oop1 2:30, 15% (18 hours) - deadbeef<br>

== Release SuperZaxxon, Beta 2, Kernel 3.2.1 ==

[http://boards.openpandora.org/index.php?/topic/7196-32-kernel-issue-tracking-thread/page__st__200#entry138048 Study by porg] -- [[User:Porg|Porg]] 23:14, 8 April 2012 (CEST)

== Standby and low power ==

I've demoted the 'Standby' charge time and put a 'no longer applicable?' tag after it. If it is still applicable, someone needs to document how we get into this standby mode.

One note of confusion, the linked comment suggests that in low power mode (LPM) the power LED is strong green, and it lasts in the order of 45 hours. Standby mode (SBP) is dim green and lasts over 150 hours. On my Ghz unit I get the dim green light when I push the switch to the right (which I've been calling low power mode) and it usually shows about 30 hours remaining, when I wake it with a reasonably full battery. The link still looks recent and good to me, but doesn't seem to tally with my experience. [[User:Levi|Levi]] ([[User talk:Levi|talk]]) 15:33, 2 May 2013 (CEST)

==What about the power cable?==

A PSP power supply will work fine with the Pandora [http://forum.openpandora.org/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=41&st=0&sk=t&sd=a] - Link is broken

# This is for getting bluetooth working on the OpenPandora.

# Tested and works as of 2013-12-18, SuperZaxxon 155, not updated
# after installation.

# -- Testing

# Make damned sure that you exit any audio-using software before doing
# any testing. This includes mixers.

# Example play:
# mplayer -ao alsa:device=softvol filename.mp3
# (alternately, use the gnome-mplayer which comes with the codec pack)

# FIXME - I have no clue how to get most other players to work!

# TODO - What can I use to do testing, without the user needing a
# file? `speaker-test` isn't available.

# TODO - I used to have a test script to record audio and play it back
# immediately. Something like that would eliminate the need to
# have a file to play for testing.

# FIXME - mplayer (etc) hang, and must be killed.
# be absolutely certain to kill all processes. A hanging
# process will completely screw over testing.
# killall -9 gnome-mplayer mplayer

# FIXME - mplayer (etc) have issues with buffering.

# TODO - I don't know how to get dmixed back in there, to get the
# buffering. It may well be to blame for all kinds of issues.

# Make sure to keep backups of your

# The chain of stuff goes like so:
# default -> softvol -> bluetooth

# For simplicity, I have collapsed one-liners.

# pcm "bluetooth"

#
# .. this is also valid:
# slave.pcm "bluetooth"
#
# It's perfectly safe to re-expand things, to experiment.
