pine64 keyboard pogo 'no-go' pins - --- - 01-24-2022
Finally saw my pine64 keyboard battery. Inserted phone (without battery) in keyboard. Pinched across the screen/rear cover pogo pin area and the phone started under keyboard battery power - great, my battery works
Released my pinch and the phone (of course) lost all power.Come on #Luke, many of us have already subsidized the pinephone by buying second motherboards without complaint. Please could you explain why the keyboard case lid is so poor? I have inserted/removed my phone carefully a couple of times and the case around the volume up/down button is already warped. A snap on rear phone case is OK but the keyboard case obviously needs mechanical connection/retention.
pine64 == guinipig64???

Except for the FIRMWARE needing some more LOVE, ---> my keyboard snapped-in and worked on the first try.
I did try squeezing the case just to see what happened, ** Nothing, the connection did not open (break) while squeezing the case.
While I do sympathize with your problem, Please do not assume or STATE : that all the keyboards DO NOT WORK !
--> There ARE some posts already talking about adding shims so the pogo pins mate a bit tighter.
Perhaps Pine should post more "WARNINGS" on every one of their products ?
As a GUI user myself, I probably should not have purchased anything from Pine ?
I saw all the warnings on the ole Brave Heart phone, BUT,
.... I bought it anyway, and I am sure glad I did, the Pine phone has been a most rewarding HOBBY ever !
****
one Brave Heart phone,
3 PMOS Convergent phones,
one Manjaro Convergent phone,

Thank you Pine64 & Team !

I replied to this fanboy post months ago pointing out inconsistencies and misconceptions in it's interpretation.
That reply has been removed without explanation - 'ooooh, I'm getting GoogleBumps'...
