Shutdown if battery level goes too low

[Tuukka.Hastrup@…]

We should always keep enough charge in the battery for negotiating the 500 mA
fast charge mode when a suitable USB connection becomes available, and
preferably for showing the user some on-screen feedback about charge state. This
means neod or something else should monitor the battery level and trigger a
system shutdown when there's little charge left (5%?). A clean shutdown also
ensures the modem and sound amplifier don't draw current anymore.

(I don't think we have a proper component for this in bugzilla yet.)

[Tuukka.Hastrup@…]

Changing component to neod as there is no better alternative for now. This
requirement should be kept in mind when the future of neod is decided on anyway.

[mickey@…]

I agree. Neod is the best short-term solution for that. Assinging to me.

I would also like the phone to hibernate / suspend to disk before it runs out of power. That way the user doesn't lose his/her work. Should I create a separate ticket for this?

it seems like this should be solved by eventd in fso, so this might need to be brought upstream to freesmartphone.org.
