Similar result from my Asus GL702VM running Cinnamon 3.2.7 on Linux Mint 18.1.

I am having this issue as well on Arch Linux, Cinnamon 3.2.8 . Since OP is using Mint, this is not a distro-specific issue. Also using an ASUS laptop. |
Same issue here, ASUS Q504UA running Cinnamon 3.2.7 & Mint 18.1. |
Same issue. Asus G551JW running Linux Mint 18.2 with xfce |
Same issue here, Asus ROG GL502-DS71 with Linux Mint 18.2 Cinnamon, Kernel 4.8.0-58-generic. Does it seem strange that these are all Asus laptops ? |
Hello, I am having the same problem on an Asus TP300. Upower and ACPI show the correct values. The user reports that previously the battery indicator functioned correctly. Restarting the upower service however, does seem to update the battery indicator to the correct value, for the particular value given. I am willing to troubleshoot this further, if anyone can provide some guidance on what to examine. Kernel:
upower :
As a workaround I have placed a cron job that restarts the upower service every few minutes, to force the battery to update at those points in time. Its a hack, but it seems to "solve" the issue until a real solution is available |
same issue for asus x55v mint 18.1 |
Facing same problem in ASUS X556UQ |
Same issue with Asus -R542uQ. On ubuntu , Solus , Arch . On DE's like Gnome ,Xfce, Cinnamon, Mate . |
Same issue is here. Cinnamon Power Management Applet is stuck on certain status and doesn't update, I'm using ($ acpi -a -b -i) to get the correct results. I've noticed that this issue is only appears if I'm using the hibernate feature and for long time (several day or weeks without shutdown or restart). Also removing and adding the applet will make it update it only once and it will stuck again, this applies if you added the remaining time or percentage. My Environment: |
Same problem here - the applet says I am using battery power, but I on mains - at least occasionally, on this configuration:
These things did not make the error go away:
The problem is a mere papercut, but one that has to do with basic functionality. Moreover, judging by the above reports the problem has been around for some years. EDIT: the 'Battery Applet with Monitoring and Shutdown' (BAMS; webpage) does a better job with charging thresholds than does Mint's own applet: when the PC is on mains power but not charging because of a threshold, that applet reports the following. |
The same thing here.
My hypothesis is that the indicator pics up line_power_ucsi_source_psy_USBC000o001 for some reason. |
I have very similar issue with the power management on a fresh install of LM 21.1 Cinnamon on a laptop (Acer Aspire V5). The battery indicator applet cycling through 'Using battery power' and 'Fully charged' statuses when the laptop is plugged in and runs from AC. The cycle duration is about 5-10 minutes. But there's side effect of this issue. Which is messing up 'Power options' settings in the Power Management. Specifically the duration of inactivity will be used either from On AC or On Battery settings, depending on current status of the battery applet. E.g., if the applet is in 'Using battery power' status then On Battery timings will be used for the screen turn off, suspend, etc. Also, the feature of 'On battery, dim the screen when incative' will be engaged. I don't have those issues when I run Windows on the same laptop, hense the issues don't seem to be due to bad hardware.
It yelds for me this in charging and discharing phases:

I'm not sure if this is quite the same issue, but I'm on 21.1 and the only way I can get the applet to update is by selecting it with a right-click, then choosing Output of

I have similar problem now with Linux Mint 21.2 Victoria and Cinnamon 5.8.4

Using Cinnamon 3.2.7 (with Mint 18.1) on Asus UX410UAK laptop. This laptop will not charge the battery until its level drops below a given threshold.
When the device is plugged in but not charging the battery, the power applet shows "Using battery power" status and the same icon as if the laptop was running on battery. It should be something like "On AC power (not charging)" with a distinct tray icon.
Screen capture of the displayed status:
