Connect the AC power plug 2. Disconnect the AC power plug 3. Actual results: No changes to the power icon Expected results: The power icon properly displays the correct status Additional info:
It doesn't seem to be an ACPI problem as the events are reported correctly: # acpi_listen ac_adapter ACPI0003:00 00000080 00000000 PNP0C14:01 000000ff 00000000 processor LNXCPU:00 00000081 00000000 processor LNXCPU:01 00000081 00000000 processor LNXCPU:02 00000081 00000000 processor LNXCPU:03 00000081 00000000 battery PNP0C0A:00 00000080 00000001 ac_adapter ACPI0003:00 00000080 00000001 PNP0C14:01 000000ff 00000000 processor LNXCPU:00 00000081 00000000 processor LNXCPU:01 00000081 00000000 processor LNXCPU:02 00000081 00000000 processor LNXCPU:03 00000081 00000000 battery PNP0C0A:00 00000080 00000001 (unplugging and plugging the the power)
Created attachment 1140323 [details] Asus Q551LN DSDT table I'm attaching the DSDT table for the laptop.
If I let the battery drain for a bit, the status seems to be reported correctly, so it looks as if the events for AC plug / charging are mixed up. Also, the brightness flickers periodically when the machine is fully charged and plugged, which is consistent with ac plug/charging confusion. I had to disable automatic brightness.
*********** MASS BUG UPDATE ************** We apologize for the inconvenience. There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale. Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 23 kernel bugs. Fedora 23 has now been rebased to 4.7.4-100.fc23. Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel. If you have moved on to Fedora 24 or 25, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 24 or 25. If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.
I have a different Asus laptop (UX305CA.201). Most laptops continually report a charging status when the power adapter is connected. However, with this laptop, it seems as if the battery controller lets the charge level drift down to about 96% before entering charging mode. Perhaps it's doing this to conserve battery life by reducing the amount of time spent charging.

The bug is still present with 4.9.3-200.fc25.

The bug is still present in kernel-devel-4.10.6-200.fc25.x86_64. It only shows the AC power plugged if the machine is charging. Once the battery is full, it doesn't show as connected anymore.
Same error here with Lenovo E560 laptop. Adding to this error, the estimation time before the end of power supply from battery is not relevant (30h instead of 5h) because of course, the system still receive energy. With HP Elitebook I don't have this issue.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '25'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
