PinePhone Not Charging.
#1
Ok, I didnt want to post "me too" for gab's post of pinePhone not charging, but: "me Too".

I have +3V , +5V on the pogo pins, so I can guess that the USB is making a power connection to the mainboard.
The 4 pin battery connector has 0Volts on all 4 pins. The PinePhone seems to recognize that the phone is, or isnt plugged in, but will not charge it.

I have tried turning off all the kill switches, resetting, removing the sd card, at no point will the battery charge. Can I get a schematic of that circuit?
I have some hacks on how to force this thing to work (like solder a wireless charger directly onto the battery), but I'd really rather get it working as its supposed to.
I dont expect much in terms of warranty service, but some schematics, or community support would be much appreciated.

Additionally, are there any requirements for the usb charging device?
What is the charging power?  Is the USB C cable  anything special?
Can I charge the PinePhone via a computers USB port?
