Battery Charge Status not reporting correctly? (KDE Community Edition)
#1
I noticed that the Battery Charge Percentage is not very accurately shown

I thought "eh 50% Battery, that's enough to run a System Update", which turned out to be wrong as the Phone shut down EARLY during the Update Process (within less than 5 minutes). You can probably guess how that bricked my install.

Before it shut down at random, I did use KDE Connect to send notifications to my Desktop (originally wanted to share Clipboard but NOPE, not installed on the Phone) and it sent mixed Messages about the Battery Status between 20% and 50%, both of which were considered "Low Battery". I did have the Phone plugged into the included USB Hub with Ethernet and the USB Charge Cable, so I am not sure how that influenced the whole ordeal.

All I know is:
1. Phone ran Update
2. Battery Low Warning Spam
3. Phone Shutdown during Update
4. Brick that gets stuck during K-Gear shaped Boot Animation

What the actual Issue is, I do not know. Only that this happened, and now I need to re-flash the eMMC, which apparently only works when the Battery is fully charged for some reason (according to the recently edited and easily missable Jumpdrive ReadMe on GitHub).

Trying out Mobian next, once the Battery is charged enough for flashing.
