PPP Battery drain + hot CPU GPU - Piotr - 12-06-2022
Hello I have received PPP few days back HK distribution Manjaro
I noticed poor battery life
I changed OS to postmarket OS 22.06.3
Still battery drain continued :
1/ I have checked battery capacity while charging - it was fine
2/ I have charged 100% battery ,
closed active applications
disconnected WiFi Bt , data transfer
Screen off
put aside phone : in 2hrs 50% battery drained
Approx in 4hrs phone drains majority of battery capacity
checked CPU usage with top : 0-3% CPU utilization
3/ back case was hot under camera area
4/ metal square under camera - GPU / CPU ? was hot with almost 0 CPU utilization.
5/ checked temperature from system thermal_zone
CPU thermal 48,7 C
GPU thermal 49.3 C
battery 18.8 C
wonder if this is software or hardware issue ,any advice ?

Unfortunately that's just normal for the PinePhone Pro. Mine is idling at 44C not doing anything and will easily reach temperatures of 80C under load. The battery life is poor compared to the original PinePhone which is to be expected as the PinePhone Pro has much more capable and power hungry hardware.
I don't have my original PinePhone with me otherwise I would compare the power usage and battery life between them side-by-side but from my experience I wouldn't say there's anything wrong with your PinePhone Pro, that's just how it normally is.
