hello, i still have troubles with my battery on Uconsol, in the best condition, it lasts one and half hour, changed the battery, change the sd card, download the image from github and still in the same issue, 4G is not activated, any suggestions?
If you’re using the official OS image, that might be the problem.
More information here:
The community OS builds are more up to date, stable, and fully featured. While the post I linked was in response to the Devterm, the uConsole is essentially the same when it comes to OS builds, and if you use Rex’s build it will actually be the same, with a minor config change. This is assuming you’re using the CM4 version. If you’ve got the A06 version, you should probably search the forums for more information (and best of luck!)
It might also be a problem with the batteries you’re using. Both the uConsole and Devterm require higher quality batteries to function, so cheap batteries from vape stores, or batteries claiming to be higher capacity than seems possible won’t work well, if at all. More information here:
(This was related to the PicoCalc, which doesn’t need batteries as powerful as the uConsole, but the information still mostly applies.)
As for 4G, I have no experience with that since I bought the wifi version, but there is a lot of information on the forums. There’s an update that can be done which may help, but it may also not work depending on the country you’re using it in. You might also have to edit some scripts or patch some things to get it to work. It will require research on forum posts scattered around here.
