@carbonatedcaffeine@social.treehouse.systems Did I understand correctly that your battery level went from 70% to 17% in 35 minutes?!!! I daily drive a Librem 5 and have never even seen a Pinephone/Pro IRL but that sounds like something is wrong...

@opensourceopenmind@social.vivaldi.net @carbonatedcaffeine@social.treehouse.systems Yep this is true, there are 2 reasons for this: (1) the PinePhone Pro is power hunger, using 4W to 6W when active, and (2) the battery driver in the kernel is buggy, so when it says 17%, the actual state of the battery might be more like 50%. I did make a patch to fix this bug, details here: https://fossil.tobykurien.com/mobian-pinephonepro
