charging indicator

[nristen]

Does the PPP have a charding indicator that comes on when the phone is connected to a charger?

My PPP does not show any indication of being charged when connected to any charger I have tried.  I believe the battery is completely dead.

I have switched the audio out to UART and if I plug headphones into the jack and plug headphones in there is usually some activity followed by a regular pulse when connected to a charger.

When my PPP is plugged in while off, the light turns red briefly, and there is a long vibration. It does not have a hardware indication of charging while powered on, only the software battery indicator.

NOTE: If the PPP just arrived, and you haven't cracked the back yet, you will have to open it up and remove a plastic tab behind the battery before it will boot for the first time.

Thanks for your response.

After I received the PPP, I was able to power it on.  After it was on, every time the screen would go blank though, the only way that I found to get it back was to remove and replace the battery and hold the power button for two seconds.  An update from discover failed so I tried doing pacman -Syu from the terminal which worked however after every reboot, I told me that the last upgrade had failed and asked if I wanted to recover.  Throughout this process the battery kept getting lower and lower sometimes going down a percentage point every 10 seconds.

Since this I have not been able to get any response even when connected to a charger.
