Pinephone visibly losing power while plugged in
#10
I noticed the workaround I mentioned "Making the phone boot automatically by plugging in the charger" is only needed for the red USB cable that was delivered with the PinePhone that is not working anyway for data transfers because according to Pine64, it is a charging power cable, not a data cable (https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?...#pid126108).
By using another USB cable, the phone charged fast without needing to reboot.

After 2 years configuring the PinePhone to fix issues like https://gitlab.com/Alaraajavamma/fastvid...rk_items/7, https://github.com/the-modem-distro/pine...issues/259 and https://salsa.debian.org/Mobian-team/dev...rk_items/7, I am now daily driving it since this month with Mobian trixie and Phosh. My previous Jolla smartphone from 2013 did not have Sailfish OS updates anymore and was unusable on many websites.
