Hi.
Received the phone a few days ago. Set up and updated first time.
Battery only charges to 85% no matter what and then system shows this fluctuating wildly during use so not reliable. I understand some think this normal. I do not.
Now, after updating I cannot get into the phone. I enter my pin to unlock, it let's me into the app I had open, calendar for example, the screen flashes quickly, and then goes blank before returning to the lock screen. Repeat to fade. Even after hard restart holding power button. I am no Linux code king but this and the general sluggishness of the phone lead me to believe its flawed.
Can anyone offer guidance? I'm prepared to put up with a device that's slightly slower than I'm used to but this seems excessive and with the loop it seems stuck on, unusable.
I also wonder if anyone can advise what sort of experience, speed wise, I should expect? I have taken videos and can upload if it helps. Should I contact support to return? Thanks for any help. J.
Update - installed Manjaro Phosh on SD card and booted from that. Experience is infinitely better and as expected really so must be an OS install issue from the factory process. As soon as I get the OK from support to flash new OS I will.
So, question is: Manjaro phosh, Mobian or Sailfish?
