Received the C2 today and started reading the forum again before starting the phone for the first time. Glad I did. I got a bit worried after reading about all the first boot problems and bricked phones.
I connected it to a charger first and it started charging without booting. Charge was 41%.
It didn’t show a LED charge indicator when charging or fully charged. Is this correct?
What I noticed during charging with the phone off, you can still see the big square with the percentage when the screen is off when you shine a bright light at the screen. So, only the backlighting is turned off during charging when the phone is off. Also only now the old-fashioned double tap on the screen to wake-up the phone works, like with the original Jolla. But not when the phone is booted up. (Still miss this handy feature)
After fully charged I booted the phone and everything went well the first time. Also connecting to my home wifi and performing the OS update to 5.0.0.21.
No SIM tested yet.
