How to turn it off/sleep
#1
This may sound like a silly question, but I can't figure out how to turn the pine phone beta off!

A short press on the power button blanks the screen but doesn't seem to be a proper sleep mode, in that battery drain continues apace - flat from fully charged in 6 hours, same as if it was on and being used. (as an aside is 6 hrs battery life typical?)

A (very) long press on the power button does seem to force an immediate shut-down (like disconnecting the battery would), but it is not a graceful power down, more of a crash and when you turn it on again it seems to take at least three or four soft reboots before it is stable - it self reboots continuously every few seconds after the screen wakes up and eventually might wake up or you might have to do another forced shut-down.

I haven't added anything to mine yet, so it is the default factory config, except it did propose a system update, which I accepted, when first powered on.

Does this sound like something is wrong? (it does to me). How can I get it (back?) into a more usable state?

What is the correct procedure for sleep and power off?
