Sorry, I only gave flaky examples because I switched phones recently and was lazy to digup the old one that had some screenshots

Here are some real cases

C33651886877

+336518867s7

+3365188T877

+336518868h7

That said, it still is way more than a simple bit flip, and only corrupts the phone number as far as I can recall.

I have no explanation, all I can say is, most of the time, I plug the OVMS when I plan charging later in the morning, usually when I'm still underground and a handful of seconds before putting contact (if this can point to any clue)

Anyways, gonna try cutting GPRS this morning and see how quick it discharges and might automate switching SMS<->SMSIP once in a while to keep an eye on the battery (my cell operator has an API) though it might wearout eeprom even more :-/

JaXX./.

Strange. Seems more than a simple bit flip. I haven’t seen this myself, or heard of it much from other users.
