Is it normal for the pinephone to "discharge" after fully charged on multiple OS?
#1
I got a pinephone a few days ago and admittedly I haven't had many phones but this is something I've never encountered before. I've tried numerous OS and every single one has this problem. I've searched and couldn't find anything about how normal it is for a pinephone. If I unplug and plug the charger back in it will start charging again until it is full and the cycle repeats, I'm not sure how far until it starts charging again if it ever does but I've let it get as low as 70%. The fact that I have to unplug and plug the charger back in is also a bit concerning. On the OS it ships with (at least after I manually reinstalled it, I didn't check it as it came shipped), manjaro with plasma mobile it says health is 0% and the battery is unknown.

It can slightly discharge after reaching 100% so that the battery is not stressed by constant charging, but it should not go as low as 70% while plugged in, mine does not do that. At something like 90-95%, it should start charging again.

Edit: Just an update, I don't know why but it seems to be charging at some point on it's own after a while now. When and why it does seems a bit unknown to me but just thought I'd say that it's working good enough for me now.

Thanks. Is there possibly something I can do if it is going lower than it's supposed to then?
