KB: Phone not/barely charging from power supplies when keyboard is not full

[bcnaz]

I am still using a Pine 1.2a convergent phone (stand alone) as my daily driver,

I have my keyboard on another 1.2a convergent phone that is solely for testing, -  ((the "overnight" may have been a few days))

I also have a new Explorer Pro, and while I am satisfied  with the Pro's software progress,  I do still consider it to be "Testing"
and I do think it is a bit early for me to couple it with the new keyboard.

Interesting to compare our experiences, but even if both our operating systems were near perfect,
 they are bound to have some differences, as we are using different operating systems... 
--- (if someone tries the keyboard on a phone with a flaky OS they WILL be disappointed)  

Mobian has suspend working pretty dependably on the original Pine phones, but on the Pro series,
my Pro freezes everytime it suspends. (latest release + updated)

I did read a warning about the multiple chargers,  -- "Yes we should use the keyboard usb port to charge".
* However my  'take'  on that  -  was --  "NOT to connect 2 chargers to your phone."
I don't think it will damage your phone if you plug a charger into the phones usb port,  -  " just it may not behave properly".

Yes, in actual use there appears to be a lot of difference in current carrying ability of the different charging cables,
I do like the cable they ship with, --  just it can be a little too short sometimes.

I too, am very pleased with my new keyboard, and being able to turn a phone into a mini-laptop.
--- (it may be a bit large to carry in your pocket to use as an everyday daily use phone ?)

I think I have tried all the popular OS's on these phones to educate myself and stay up with everything, and will continue
testing, but I picked Mobian for my daily use phone.

Eventually I will probably go back to being  --  'just a phone User' -- 
***  I have probably spent too much time and $$ playing with these phones, and browsing/studying the forum.

But it has Sure been exciting and FUN
