Battery indicator stuck on "estimating"

Same issue on Hp Envy 15

Same issue on Hp G62-120el

I'm trying to apply that patch but when i build the package the patch gets unapplied. What I'm trying to do is to calculate the energy_rate value from the charge_now file instead of using current_now.

I really don't understand why it takes forever for a stupid patch to get set and get rid of such a basic annoyance.. come on canonical! This thing has been like this since lucid...

Have you tried this: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1627848#7

It has been reported as bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/maverick/+source/upower/+bug/629258/+index?comments=all see #91

I know it's a duplicate of at least 2 other similar bug reports.. point is
F**K all has been done so fr to patch it either up or downstream...
