Also…
Phone was off charging during the night. Today it was blocked on the fairphone screen (I had to take battery out to restart) was hot (again) and not fully charged.
I totally agree that this is quite dangerous and would like to emphasize it again here! @anon36364121: Please remove it (or at least ask the user as proposed by @Roboe).

I also don’t see what is it needed for. Wiping data should be done when changing from Open to GMS or viceversa, ok, but the manual ZIP is not for that purpose, there’s a specific Open-to-GMS ZIP, 
Stupid phone 
I’m heartbroken and can’t take it anymore!
Here we go again: check out my battery stats… I don’t believe it… phone back from repairing and I’m having lots of problems again…
I tell you this: if the bluetooth problem is resolved for the FP1, I’m selling FP2 without looking back… this is NOT a reliable phone I’m very very sorry to say…
Charging with the phone off does not work on FP Open atm. (bug)
Please do the battery reset ( batteryguide ) and put the phone in airplane mode while charging overnight instead of turning it off.

I got that but still believe it’s a very very big and unfortunate bug…
Yes, version 2.8.7.0 (though I didn’t install it manually - I just follewed the default instruction for FP Open installation).
Interesting idea. In which manner has TWRP to do with the bug?
It’d be interesting to try to flash other recovery.img partitions in that case…
I have no idea, I just thought it might, since TWRP has the wrong time too. Although lately for me that is not true anymore. After I switched OSs back and forth and restored about a hundred different backups lately for some testing now my latest backups all have the right time and were not created in 1970.

Btw: I can confirm that the QuadRooter check now says all vulnerabilities have been fixed

Good news!!! With FairPhone Open 16.08.0 I tried again to connect an USB keyboard via OTG cable to the phone. And now it works really fine!
Now I have ordered a cable, that I am abel to connect keyboard, mouse and charger to the phone.

ah, that explains why the recovery crashes trying to load the charging animation when the phone is shut down and connected.
Since everything is using electric current to transfer data in your intended setup, please don’t be alarmed when you can not use keyboard and mouse while the charger is plugged in unless they are bluetooth devices.
I thought the same, but expect the hub to be smart and supply charge to the keyboard and mouse too.
that’s not the issue. the micro usb port will receive power which equals a big fat ONE, there is no room for data. fast charging is done by short circuiting the data pins in the usb port to enable higher charge transfer than the 500mA of the usb v2 standard.

Oh, didn’t know that. Thank you for the info! It’ll come handy when I buy one of this cables, 
Is that a common design bug for this kind of hubs? Because I expect those rather common usecases to be taken into account in the design phase of this kind of cables.
its a design “flaw”. you either send power or data, but both is electricity, sooo…
however a smart charger might detect periphery and pulses the power, but thats toxic for battery and the phone’s usb controller.
the fp2 has an usb 2.0 5-pinout on the back, it could be possible this way - could as it may be just a fork from the port on the bottom.
Probably one of the OSs you flashed did not use the strange codeaurora timing system but set the actual hardware RTC so now you do have the proper time, because the delta between RTC and the OS is almost zero. It would be interesting if your system switches back to the flower power years when you take the battery out, wait some times and replace it - means reset your RTC.

I can’t wait for the specs of the back connector to come out then, using micro usb to power the phone + the back connector for mouse and kb could prove great.
