Edit Reason: Adding more Updates
)
Update 1: I just installed the newest factory test image from PmOS, and I get a similar crash every time I do the touchscreen test. This also occured with phosh, but was less consistent then the black screen bug. So, I thought they were 2 outcomes of the same problem. As I do the touchscreen test, the screen flickers to a screen of:
^@^@^@^@
Then resets to the test screen forgetting all previously passed tests, like a logout or DE reset.
Sometimes varying in number (2-4), though with the factory test image there's always 4. Also, it didnt always recover with phosh.
Also, phosh used to have the screen flash go to a blinking cursor (ttyl style). Though that seems to have stopped with the more recent updates.
Update 2: I just tried the original stock factory image and it didn't crash or flash on the touchscreen test, so it is definitely a change that occurred around March and not a hardware thing.
Update 3: I just tried Debian Phosh for the first time since I don't think it uses the same base as PmOS like PureOS does, but I ran into the exact same issue...so, yea...definitely thinking phosh or the touchscreen due to the voltage change is somehow killing the LCD to black, cause it seems to always wait for me to touch it first.
