KB: Phone not/barely charging from power supplies when keyboard is not full
#2
My results are a bit different, but I have only been running my keyboard on Mobian since I got it.
I discovered I need to turn off my keyboard separate from turning off the phone,
To turn off the keyboard battery the amount of time to hold the keyboard power button seems to vary for me from about 4 to 13 seconds,
but in settings ==> Power I can see when the phone battery says 'charging' or 'discharging'...

Several times after turning off the phone over night with both batteries showing 100%
I restarted in the morning to find the keyboard once at 0% and the phone battery 93 - 95%,
another time - keyboard at 83% - phone at 99%

The phone seems to "see" the keyboard battery as a charger with my OS
When I first got the keyboard it was hard to charge, but recent OS updates have improved the charging greatly.

These are my current readings, they have changed and improved since I first got the keyboard,
But since this is beta hardware, software, and firmware, it can change drastically with a single update.

Why is your phones usb port covered ?

The phone is 1.2a convergence edition running Mobian from a sd card.
