Cosmo Communicator - Hardware / Re: Battery showing -1 %, otherwise working fine, bar random shutdowns

It really does behave weird with charging, this phone.

I had initially (apparently) fixed my issues with the "Android-recalibration-method" (AReM). Mind you, I had also played around a bit with other approaches, as I had found, that whether the phone charged, randomly rebooted/shut down, or not was affected by which port and which charger I was using.

Well.. after what I now think was an overly creative charging attempt (i.e.: charging through a USB Type-A to USB Type-C adapter) the phone is now acting up again.

One "interesting" behaviour consists of a complete inability to charge at all, regardless of charger, port, lunar cycle and anything else I've thought of.

Detaching the battery connector for a while, then reattaching has now allowed for 2 recharges with AReM (though only with this, and not the PC-charger: https://raspberrypi.dk/produkt/raspberry-pi-stroemforsyning-usb-c-eu-5v-3a-sort/).

Hi again,

Sounds horrid.

Thank you for your reply! I'll struggle on a bit before considering the bin.

I sort of managed to reset the battery with the standard Android method -- i.e. draining battery to zero -- filling to 100 and repeat-method.

I am however getting sudden shutdowns, and having issues booting the device again. Something is amiss.

None the less: all the best.

Hi Sup,

I am experiencing something similar with my CC.

Before I delve naively into my own issues - any news on yours?

All the best,
Nicolaj

Are you getting it to attach closely at all attachment points?

Upload a picture of the attachment points, and I can tell you, if the issue looks famiilar.

Hi Daniel,

No worries (:

I'm still teetering between managing to maintain a presence and forgetting about oesf completely (:

Luckily my Communicator's lack of a part of the cover helps with reminding me.

PM'ed you - thanks man!
Nicolaj

Hi Daniel,

If "as close to Sweden as possible without being Sweden counts" I would like to try out a kit.

Let me know, if you deem it feasible (:

Cheers
Nicolaj, København

Cosmo Communicator - Hardware / UPDATE: Need replacement "hinge-cover-metal-thingy"

Update:

Planet support got back to me less than 2 days after I contacted them. A pleasant surprise.

I will accept their offer* if I don't find a spare anywhere else in the next couple of days.

Have a nice weekend!

*£25 plus P&P -- excited to see, what that sums to.

Due to fault of my own, I lost the metal part covering the hinge (see attached vid for tech gore).

Anyone have a spare, that they'd be interested in having put to use?

Edit: I'm in Denmark, btw.
