Hello, i was thinking, it would be very nice if other than the memory protection we could have a current limiter integrated in system options so we could preserve our battery even more than what we are doing now
I know there is battery buddy and it’s lovely, helping me to preserve my very old battery, but still it would be nice to have this function integrated…
One cannot make software control if there is no hardware control for such a feature.
Then why battery buddy is able to do it?
From I can see on a quick glance in its repo, it is able to display the current, and perhaps stop changing if a max current setting is crossed (this is a speculation on my part).
I can of course be just plain wrong on this, since I do not use the app, so have no practical experience.
It can do it on hardware (and kernel) that supports it 
e.g. it can on Xperia10iii but not Jolla C2.
Ok, that’s fair, well i suppose they are able to expose the setting in phones that supports it, and make it hide in c2, right?
@247 please check the output of mcetool and mcetool -h
AFAIR limiting the current was possible on my XA2 (nifty!) but I can’t find it on my X10II anymore.
Mcetool not found, for both
If only there was a way to install software and a whole repo full of it…
(@attah missed that in order to make his statement unambiguous.)
The fact that we have 3 stores to install applications does not mean we shouldn’t suggest very useful functions to be part of the base system, instead on being on an advanced app (for which i thank for of course)
“for both” is a bit superfluous but it really isn’t easy to find out how to install this.
devel-su pkcon install mce-tools
You didn’t say i needed to install it, i just thought you wanted to see if the xa2 had it or not
I’ll install anyway, and tell you the output
I didn’t remember one needed to install it.
