Hey,

that is the charging indicator and it is connected to the "charging" trigger, 
now that bit of the kernel logic might be "wrong", confused, or ahead of 
technology.

Wendy,Regina, do we have a bug report for the charging indicator sometimes 
indicating charging even when not being connected (charging over the air)? If 
not could you file one for system software and assign to openmoko-kernel?


thanks
