I ran without a battery for many weeks earlier in the year. It seems to be specifically if we enable the PMU charger with no battery, it freaks out and goes to PMU STANDBY state. Earlier in the year, we didn't enable charger yet so it hangs together. | However, running without a battery isn't really a use case.

Well it can be a use case if you don't want GSM... as Joerg said USB alone cannot provide enough power for GSM TX usage so there's no hope for it (or any other GSM device) being an actual phone with no battery. ~ But it's actually a pretty decent embedded / server / smart display device aside from the phone aspect useful for other things if it can be tethered to some always on power without battery, so I still hope that can be gotten to work. - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Fedora - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAkh/t0sACgkQOjLpvpq7dMpYuACfX3y4+Wl2T2Zi5Jmfq2RSh3Vz OxMAoIyrLez78LYuHAUjFU29m1N9DDFO =1YXs -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
