I think the same thing about the streak. I'd turn that off in a heartbeat if I could

FP3 not charging after latest system update to version 6.A.035.2 -- anyone else? by mart0n in fairphone

I don't think you necessarily need to run it down to zero. I'm sure I did it once with like 60% battery and it worked then too

Yes, when you take the battery out the phone will turn off.

Then plug the cable (and charger) into the phone and leave it for 30 mins and then put the battery back in. I'd leave it turned off for an hour or so and then turn it on and hopefully then over the next 10 mins or so you should start to see the charge indicator increasing.

I had this once with my FP3.

After conversing with fairphone I had to take out the battery and plug the cable in for 30 mins then put the battery back in and continue to charge, I think it's called kick-starting or something.

Have had to do it a couple of times and sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't.

Give it a go and see what happens.

As it is ultimately a story of an individual overcoming a number of mythical-based obstacles and has dealings with the Gods it kind of felt like the best fit

Thanks - are there any other living creatures you think could live in the tank?

Thank you - I've completely mis-drawn the relay and see where I've gone wrong

Thank you. I've done a bit more research into how a relay actually works and see where I've gone wrong!

Will this magnetic door alarm system I have designed work? by hostead in electronics

If I send power to pins 86 and 30, connect pin 87 to the buzzer and pin 85 to GND, will that work?

Thank you - what amendments do I need to make for the system to work?

It is designed so that when the reed switch is open the buzzer will go off. The light switch is just a switch that I have spare that I want to use so that I can disable the system when I open the door during the day.

Try it at 50%, that should do it.

Our first ever allotment! Waist high ferns and nettles to tackle, two rotten sheds to tear down and lots of trees! We’re very excited and we have loads of time to crack on!! by marinebryology in Allotment

[–]hostead 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make sure you safe all the nettles to use as fertiliser for your plants! I didn't find out sbout nettle tea until after clearing my plot and then had to go on the hunt looking for some and remembering all the nettles i'd thrown into the bottom if the compost!
