I did it just yesterday - charge level was at 70% and I plugged the phone in and turned it off. Upon turning the phone back on later the battery was at 99% charged. It may not work if the battery is fully discharged but I have an extra battery and an external charger for such an eventuality.OK that is good to hear. With my Android I charge it every day and it never goes below 60%. But one hears horror stories about the Pinephone. Perhaps the problem is that they released it in such an unfinished state, most of the personal anecdotes are horror stories and some of those are quite recent. While it is true that Pine is not a big corporation, I've worked at several startups and I've found that solving serious issues with a device in an underfunded environment is not a big problem. It is a matter of having standards and sticking to proper engineering methods.
