Describe the bug
Watch displays charging lines around edge of watch face, and starts charging, but also displays an error/warning message, "Battery empty. Device shutting down."
Both parts of the message are false:
- The battery is not empty when I charge it (usually, after a day of use, the watch has 50-75% battery remaining).
- The watch does not shut down, but instead continues charging.
After a few seconds, the message disappears and the watch thereafter charges as expected until full.
To reproduce
- Ensure charging cradle is plugged into a USB port with adequate power to charge watch.
- Place watch on charging cradle.
- Bug occurs.
Expected behavior
Watch displays charging lines around edge of watch face, and starts charging, with no error/warning messages.
Device (please complete the following information):
- Watch Codename: bass
- AsteroidOS Build ID 20260215193159
- Version 2.0
Additional context
My hypothesis is that when the watch is being placed into the charging cradle, for a fraction of a second the cradle's pogo pins do not have good contact with the charging pads on the watch back. I believe this causes some kind of transient voltage, resistance, or impedance change that triggers AsteroidOS to wrongly warn that the battery is empty.
Sometimes, the same warning appears when the watch is being removed from the charging cradle, even if the battery is full. This lends support to the hypothesis above, that partial contact with the charging cradle pogo pins is the condition that triggers the erroneous warning message.
