Battery status icon disapeared

[stiray]

Describe the bug.

Yesterday I knew I had the icon in top bar and I was able to check it.

Today I wanted to check the battery level and the icon was gone.

Are there any debug logs I could provide, as I would expect it is some trivial bug?

Reproduction

Hard to tell as the icon was there yesterday. I didnt do anything special in between, but did flash the
hackrf-2024.02.1/firmware/cpld/sgpio_if/default.xsvf in between.

Expected behavior

I expect battery status icon to be back on my screen or alternative solution to see the battery status.

Environment/versions

Latest mayhem installed.

Anything else?

One additional detail, I was testing if it can be upgraded using https://hackrf.app but never succeeded (linux). This meant quite a few plug/unplug operations on usb if this can have any connection to missing icon.

Just for any case, I have reinstalled the SD card, it doesnt help.

Check that the battery is still here, check in 'Settings/User interface" that the battery icon is no disabled.

Should not do anything special to the battery icon.

What's your portapack version ?

That's quite surprising. Is web serial well enabled in your browser? What browser did you try ?

Hi, that may happend when battery is too low. Charge it, then bat icon may come back.

那个电池图标是由i2c sda scl来识别芯片的，如果有电池电量的检测芯片，就会有图标显示，如果没有，那就不会有图标

这是 Portapack H4M，昨天也能看到电池，而且我可以使用。昨天刚拿到 H4A。

It is Portapack H4M, also the battery was visible yesterday and I was able to use it. Just got H4A yesterday.

Check that the battery is still here, check in 'Settings/User interface" that the battery icon is no disabled.

Checked this one first, the battery icon is not available for enabling / disabling. It is not there.

Chromium Version 132.0.6834.83 (Official Build) snap (64-bit)

I checked but I am not aware of any special setting for serial, sorry, I am not a fan of google spyware so I am not well versed in their products, using Firefox exclusively where the site doesn't work. But I did follow the advice about setting permissions on linux, just wasnt able to find the tty device that would match. Based on creation times, it was never created, but I did see the usb information within dmesg output.

Will try but I am sure, it was filled beyond 50%. Will report back.

Ok, tested it, battery should be full in 12 hours. The battery icon has not shown.

You know that the power switch button have to be in up position for the unit to be charging, right ?

So, how is your battery icon ?

Not visible. Nothing has changed, I have charged portapack full (charger is showing me amps) but doesnt help.

According to the schematic and firmware of H4M, it will automatically obtain I2C to determine battery information after booting up. You should have (MAX17055ETB) damaged or poorly soldered. If possible, you can add an ads1110a because this chip also supports detecting battery level in the code
