Hi,
I'm not sure if you can help me?
I am encountering the same issue here -- I think. I have the latest version of the battery kext Installed to /L/E I am able to see the battery % fine which updates no issue (in settings andin the menu bar). I have read guides over and over, patched the DSDT over and over start to finish. Still without luck getting this one solved. Over the past 2 weeks I’ve managed to address all other issues this is the only one sticking, I just can’t seem to figure out.
The Issue:
The menu bar charging/not charging status refuses to update when the adapter is plugged/unplugged starting at boot. It always shows the incorrect status at boot. I am using a SSD with TRIM and I have tried the startup delay to 16000, however this doesn't help.
Workaround:
The only way I can make the icon change properly is when it's in state of not working I do the folllowing: I start by unplugging the power cable, opening the "energy saver" settings and uncheck "show battery status in menu bar", reconnect power cable and recheck "show battery status in menu bar" and then the icon will change to charging/discharging accordingly whenever the power adapter is connected/disconnected until the next reboot when the issue returns. However, the battery percent is always working fine and updating in all cases without the above workaround.
I am trying to understand what is going on here. I have knowledge in programming but not familiar with this as this is my first Hackintosh.
Is this is as simple as pushing a status update? or could it be something else I have overlooked?
Any help would be appreciated. I’ve broken my brain on this one.
