I am now daily driving my PinePhonePro for well over a year, but there is one issue that still annoys me:
The PinePhone pro uses Battery fuel gauging as implemented in the RK818 Chip.
Fuel gauging works ok when using one battery. Battery full and empty indications match the battery voltages within a couple of percentage points.
But the daily driving the PPP with only one battery is hard.
When using multiple batteries, however, the fuel gauging becomes really annoying, as the phone will show the percentage of the last (empty) battery until it shuts off.
After a couple of reboots, the fuel gauging seems to reset itself, but rebooting the PPP several times takes time and does not seem like an ideal solution.
Is there a possibility to reset the fuel gauge calibration on eg. each reboot to avoid unintended shutdowns after battery swapping?
