battery problem - Rainer - 04-29-2021
hello,
i received my pinephone yesterday (manjaro-arm) and followed instructions for removing plastic between battery and contact. it seemed to be behaving normally while charging via usb other than the battery charge not getting past 90% and then moving backwards!? this morning i started the phone on battery power alone and it turns on, shows the gear and the K logo and then goes dark. when i make contact with the screen, i can see the numerical pad but as soon as i break contact with the screen it goes dark again. everything works normally once i connect the usb power cable. energy settings are on 'never' for lock screen and sleep and 5 minutes for turn off screen. any input would be appreciated, thanks.

Your battery is OK. Just Settings -> Screen setup application writes wrong values to the /.config/powermanagementprofilesrc file:

You can manually edit the file like in this post:

Yes, the file is in your home directory. I just used the default file manager Index, set it to show hidden files, long press on powermanagementprofilesrc file, open with Nota editor, edited the file and saved. The changes are in effect immediately.

this worked - thanks a bunch! a little nerve-wracking working with that editor and a config file on a phone but it all worked out.
