Ding...ding...ding...ding! Toggling "USE" off did the trick. Going forward, it may be a good idea to make that an automatic part of the ReBoot & Shutdown process for those who forget that step before turning off their device running Genode OS or at the very least add a nag screen "You need to turn off 'USE' before shutting this device down."
Power supply charging through the convergence pack worked this time with a "+" sign added to the power percentage.
More fixes/features to note:
6) Because the software is triggered by hitting the left side of the screen, you may want to move the "1" box under the STORAGE section to the right side along with making the box a little larger so it's easier to press.
7) I like the browser keyboard featuring all the common buttons up front. Similar to #6, maybe add a button feature above the keyboard that increases the size of the keyboard so it takes up half the screen with larger buttons for easier typing of long messages and then hit the button again to shrink down the screen for typing shorter messages.
8) I really like the browser. Is it similar to Brave in that it blocks all cookies running in the background which cuts battery draw in half since the other half typically processes trackers on the back end? If not, that's fine, it's just a nice feature of the Brave browser which is also a fork of Chrome.
9) This is probably already on the "last things to do before launch" list, but a screen saver feature would be nice since I left the phone alone to fetch/extract multiple software pieces that takes about 20-30 minutes and came back to find the screen still lit up. Not sure how much power that draws, but I assume a screen saver would help.
Quote:So un-using it before the reboot prevents any component from accessing the file-system during the reboot procedure. Now that should not be a problem in general and it probably will not have any effect on the issue you encountered - but its something that is simple to try out.

Quote:Again, I have to confess not having used the convergence pack yet so I am not sure if that makes a difference. I will give that a try.
