Possibly dysfunctional as a cell phone

[tckosvic]

I am finding that if the PPP is off the charger (as in your pocket when you go out) it turns off after about 45 minutes and does not answer calls.  If you activate it with the start button, it still wakes up (not a reboot/restart from cold) and does answer calls.  To me this makes the PPP dysfunctional as to be a usable cell phone if you can't reliably get a call after 45 minutes off the tether.

I am running tests calling PPP with android phone.  It looks like about 45 minutes from a full charge before it goes dead and stops answering after being off charger.  Still at 70% or so battery.  I will continue to test. Manjaro-phosh system.

Are others seeing the same thing or is this just my phone?   How long can you have the PPP off charger and still receive a call?  What if you go out with 70% battery, 50% battery?
