@PawelK Infinitime had the same problem with the PineTime and its Nordic chip.

A cell phone would be very different. What Mr. Lee is working on could actually get closer to it if the Pinephone had a low power screen and a larger battery. There is likely a problem with that hardware revision too. It has enough control to where it charged at 5V 3A without issue for me. Two microcontrollers control charging of the device.

@AmpBenzScientist

Just additional q from a noob:

Is much power lost in idle-running and/or unneedily high clocking of CPUs and/or specialized subcores like 3D-GPU and/or various radios?

Follow

@PawelK That's a significant amount of power being used for each of those.

@AmpBenzScientist

I would attempt on decoupling their clock controls, and/or adding more granularity per core visavis clocking selection and power level.

Also static display screens wouldnt need 1M refreshes per second.
