Battery mot charging past 54%

[bcnaz]

Thank you for the info...how do I find out if the Mbian or KDE Pinephones use the Ondrej's patched kernel?

It's always the best to check how the kernel package is built on the distribution you're runing, by looking at the package source, but you can also use the command described in one of the earlier posts, for example, to configure higher target voltage for the battery:

Code:

echo 4350000 > /sys/class/power_supply/axp20x-battery/voltage_max_design

After that, check whether the setting has actually been applied:

Code:

cat /sys/class/power_supply/axp20x-battery/voltage_max_design

If you get back 4350000, then you're most probably running Ondrej's patched kernel.

I have a 'Post Market Edition' Pine phone,  running a 'recent Mobian nightly release'.
It charges to 100%,    then it discharges to 93 - 95%...  then charges again to 100% ... repeat...
I think the developers are still fine tuning the charging software.

Once the target voltage for the battery is set and the charger is left plugged in, the charging is performed autonomously by the AXP803 PMIC.  The battery charging is currently left unattended from the software standoint, and the only thing that could happen is the AXP803 shutting down on its own due to overheating.

  My phone only gets a little warm when charging, But it gets even warmer from a long phone call.
I doubt seriously the battery is overheating.
