PSA: The LoRa PinePhone Case seems to drain battery even when shutdown
#1
The thin black cover that the PinePhone comes with broke for me, so I wanted to buy a more sturdy cover.

I never use wireless charging and the fingerprint reader is expensive, so I went with the LoRa case since that interests me.

However, it seems even after I shut the phone down completely, the LoRa case continues to drain power. I can feel a faint warmth and the next day my phone has been completely dead multiple times.

I just wanted to warn people and I hope Pine64 or OS maintainers can find a fix. I think I'll put some tape over the pogo pins for now since I have no use for LoRa at the moment.
