PPP Battery drain + hot CPU GPU
#1
Exclamation 
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.
