My phone arrived this morning via Fedex, USA. The box contains, in addition to the phone and its internal components, the following items: Compact USB-C charger with folding North America-type electric prong Sturdy 3-ft (92cm) charging cable 2 different electric prong adapters for international us…

@kieran , @db579 , @prolog I installed Maps using @Skalman ’s instructions here: GNOME Maps debugging adventures on the Librem 5 (Thanks Skalman! My first time with flathub/flatpak!) Map displays well. When I tell it to find my location, it pulls up a dialog telling me to enable location services, wi…

Thanks for the test. Hopefully soon then!

@kieran , @db579 , @prolog Just realized there IS a Location Services in the settings, and it’s On, but it never helped with Maps. Sorry about the misinformation! I suspect it’s just not implemented yet. [image] Installing Flathub Repository & apps Librem 5 Whe…

Finally remembered to get and test the second Q heifer but no sign of the double-tap or did not work at all. Was it suppose to be included in the plain amber phone images (6044, 6119, updated)…?

[image] amarok: Phone charges slowly - more like a laptop than what we’re used to with phones. Can take hours, depending on the start level. FYI a kernel update has just arrived that enables proper USB PD current negotiation :slight_smile:

Thank you for the update! Does fast charge degrade the battery faster? If so, can we manually choose the charge rate?

Yes, you could do that already before as well: sudo i2cset -f -y 3 0x6a 0x00 <VALUE> where <VALUE> is between 0x00 (100mA) and 0x3f (3.25A). See https://www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/bq25895.pdf page 32. You can verify the currently set value with cat /sys/class/power_supply/bq25890-charger/input_cur…

If I Set it that way, how to get then back to the proper USB PD current negotiation? Just remove the USB-C cable?

I would issue a WARNING here for anyone tempted: BE extra careful with this kind of command, before using it : if it’s connected to a charger or powerbank, check its capabilities (ex: 5V ⎓ 2A) if it’s connected to a device USB port, what kind is it ? [image] Double, triple check the command li…
