I just got my Librem 5 - and it turned on fine and I put it in computer usb charge cable and everything seemed fine. The next day - it had appearently totally drained battery (in standby mode - with no sim card installed) - and now, if I connect it to the charger that came with the phone, it lights…

Hi, welcome to the community! [image] Librem 5 not charging Librem 5 See here please: https://docs.puri.sm/Librem_5/Troubleshooting/Charging.html#evergreen

This fails on step 7 - indicator light simply shuts off when I insert battery (with charger attached and a red blinking light - while holding volume up)… I tried several times. When I disconnect and connect charger with battery IN - the red light is turned on and constant… I’ll try and leave it for…

My advice, in case the phone seems dead: let it charge for a long time, one hour is not necessarily enough, it may need several hours, best to let it charge over night or something. Then unplug the charging cable, then remove the battery and put it back in. Now it should start. Worth noting here re…

[image] KlavsKlavsen: The next day - it had appearently totally drained battery (in standby mode - with no sim card installed) Hi, @KlavsKlavsen . Note that actual suspend functionality has not been implemented yet, as Purism are first working to extend the active time. The phone is more like …

Thank you for your help - I got it charging (after battery out+in) and started with the ~20sec hold of powerbutton :slight_smile: And now I know not to expect that it has any sleep mode - so proper shutdown is key when not using - or charging every ~8 hours. I must say I had hoped/expected that su…

My L5 is charging normally, but I wanted to measure the level of drain and put some small USB gadget in the line (which USB A connector), see the photo: 4.94V but 0.00 charging: [photo5444852791760762175] [photo5444852791760762176] What could be the reason?

[image] guru: see the photo: 4.94V but 0.00 charging What is it supposed to measure? Is it “V” as in “Volt”? Would it be more relevant in this case to measure current, in ampere (A) or mA or something, to see how much current is flowing? In the your left picture there is a green “A”, maybe t…

Skalman:

But I would still like to find some more documentation of the power button behavior depending on how long time the button is pressed, if there is something more to read about that somewhere.

See:

Librem 5 received and inital reaction Hardware

For the reference, when the phone locks up for whatever reason, long power button press should always be able to get it back to life (provided that the battery isn’t fully depleted). There are two kinds of long-presses though: a 5 second power button press should turn it off, and then another press should turn it on again - this however assumes that the PMIC still cooperates; if it locks up in some weird state, this may fail a 15-20 second power button press with USB unplugged (important!) sh…
