[BH edition] Will the battery always drain because of a HW issue?
#1
According to the braveheart v1.1 errata in the section entitled "Excess power usage while driving VBUS" it says:

" the PMIC continues to draw power from the USB port, and this doubles the drain on the battery (since the whole phone is being powered by the USB OTG boost regulator). This could be fixed by populating R1300."

My naive reading of this is that without populating R1300, the battery is always going to get double the drain.

I'd like an honest answer therefore to the following question:

1. Can we expect normal battery performance from the v1.1 BH edition phones at any point, i.e is there a software fix, or is this unfixable?

Much appreciate being part of the BH cohort and don't regret my decision, but would like to know if the phone will ever have a practical battery life

Cheers

Ashley
