Battery life: Maybe really a hardware issue?
#1
I do have the Manjaro edition, which I have not been happy with at all, so I have been using other distros. It seems as soon as I log into the Manjaro edition, the modem will be shut down.

I have not booted Manjaro in several months, and decided to boot it up yesterday and did some updates. After the updates, and reboots, back to the charger it went.

Later in the night, I needed to go out and about for about half an hour and decided to take booted Manjaro with me  to test it more. After about 20 minutes of messing with it, and modem continues to get shut down after login, I shut the phone down for the night.

Today, this morning, I slipped in the SD card with my usual distro I use with the phone. It powered on for a few seconds then shut down. The battery is drained

I don't think this should be happening as if I do the same with other cell phones, I can leave them powered off for a week, or so and the battery level is about the same as when I shut it down.

With the complaints about battery life, and this experience, I wonder if the hardware is really to blame.

Any thoughts on this?
