I use this code: http://jsbin.com/ahovij/3 It works on HTC Desire HD + IRC. On Galaxy Nexus, I get "level: 1, charging: true;" what ever the status of the battery is (plugged on not plugged, charged or not charged).
I've been told that by someone from dev engagement but I don't have a Galaxy Nexus. What do you mean by HTC Desire HD + IRC?

(sorry, I meant ICS, not IRC)
Yes, I've seen the same thing on Galaxy Nexus, and like Doug pointed out, it seems to be due to a bug at their end.
WONTFIX since our code works. Please subscribe to the google bug if you are interested.

I prefer to reopen it because I guess there is a way to get the battery information on this phone a way or another given that likely the battery widget is working. I will buy a Galaxy Nexus next week when back in Paris and have a look at that. Reopening and assigning to myself for that.

WebAPI Web app includes the battery API in the demo. Adding the whiteboard mwc-demo because of this.

This should work around the low level issue. BTW, it's not an ICS issue. I tried with a Nexus S with ICS and things were working nicely.

Pushed to m-c: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/f754a314d61d Should we take this fix to Firefox 11 and/or 12 given that it's really safe and will prevent people from complaining that this new feature we might advertise doesn't work on their phones?
