Purchased a m5StickV - Fixed in recent firmware update.

Holding the power button 6 seconds to try turn it off.
It keeps powering back on right away.

for the love of all that is holy.
Tell people that sell your device the mic is broken and your looking to dump the project and your losses on it.

if you make a basic firmware, make sure the off button actually does what the manual says.

the manual covers less than some terrible products.

i can't even understand it's quirks.. connecting via serial reboots it??
Then serial monitor is lost searching.

Starting to think i made a huge mistake.
such a awesome device.. so much potential.

:edit
reflashed stock.
still can't turn it off.
am i missing a trick?

How did you reflash it, what firmware did you use?
BTW the microphone issue only came up after the release and there was an announcement about the issue

Xeon

i used kflash_gui V1.5.3

used the latest firmware.

do i need a script present ?

Xeon

Ahh Sorry.. idk what happened.
i apologize if i seem aggressive the device was acting very odd.
i purged my serial drivers and reflashed

Seems to be working as i hoped.

After a reflash the issue is back?
Please email the M5Stack support people. something is defiantly not correct.

@ajb2k3
i found a few work arounds.

Cant turn off
Letting the battery run out seems to solve the power button.
As it works fine again afterward.
Keeps bugging out after running a script in Maix Py ide
Disconnect a reconnect

Xeon

device begins doing this when fully charged.

@fpsychotic

Yes, mine does get hot
BTW there is already a MK2 on its way.

Thrasher

Mine cant last long with battery.. I left it to charge for couple of hours and after that it worked maybe 2 minutes.. I keep it plugged into powerbank

FPSychotic

@ajb2k3
Not really and it last some time with battery.
v2? the wifi one? if is not wifi, what is the difference and were you got?

ajb2k3

@fpsychotic I've got the MK1 as the MKII isn't out yet

Xeon

i verified it.
after reaching 70 to 90% full battery the device wont power off.
it just reboots.
after going below this threshold it turns off again normally.

Thrasher

Hardmode it with dc-dc stepdown to keep battery outcome always below 70% :))

Xeon

Well my battery is now rotten thanks to this.
The battery life is fading very fast.

I want a replacement.
i bought this device to get a task done.
it's going to.
