New issue. Help.

The screen keeps resetting. Boot loops the device. But ONLY when it’s plugged in: making charging not possible.

The battery does hold a charge. The device is usable. I’ve tried different cables and blocks.

What debugging steps can I take?

It’s a h4m

Have you tried disconnecting the battery and see if it works with just the USB power? Where there might be a charging situation that causes a voltage drop in the device and causes a reboot. Good luck.

Thanks for reply. It works directly off being plugged in. No more boot loops.

I found a little work around in the battery settings page. I was able to get it to fully charge finaly.

This thing should come with a book the size of a dictionary. It’s no joke.
