Scenerio 1:
When charging the JingPad during use (i.e. OS is running) and I disconnect the charging cable before shutdown there will be no problem.
If I then reconnect the charging cable to the JingPad it will show the green charging animation.
If I then disconnect the charging cable something will keep running and discharge the battery.
If I reconnect the charger ( after disconnecting it once) nothing will happen visably. No charging animation.
Scenario 2:
If I connect the charging cable to the JingPad when not in use the JingPad will show the green charging animation.
If I then disconnect the charging cable something will keep running and discharge the battery.
If I reconnect the charger ( after disconnecting it once) nothing will happen visably. No charging animation.
Generally, the time from pressing the power on button to the buzz signaling the bootup, is 3 seconds. If The JingPad is in this unknown discharging state the time to the buzz is 9 seconds.
So, charging my JingPad when the OS is not running leads to problems. I guess I'll just have to charge the JingPad during use and remember to disconnect the charger before shutting down.
Thanks for all of the suggestions.
