Framework Laptop 13 Ryzen 7040 BIOS 3.06 Release BETA - Held

It seems that this version is ignoring the setting “battery lifetime extender” set to off and after ~24H plugged in (charge limit of 84% set) it still discharges to less than 74% while plugged in.

did this happened to any of you?

Does this also accour when you reconnect the power supply?
Because there is also a bug that the laptop doesn’t charge even if it is plugged in: Laptop sometimes not charging when first plugged in

The laptop was charging(and later using power from the wall) when used in the day before, after ~24h, I turned on the laptop again without unplugging, then noticed that it wasn’t pulling any power from the wall.

2 months now without an update…

Charge limit 70% set and working fine. (Running Windows 11 24H2)
How were you knowing no power was being drawn from the wall?

I have a Power-Z meter between the USB-C plug and the charger.
I’m trying to reproduce it, to see if it was a one time thing.

Guys, they never said by which end of December 3.07 will be out. It might be 2025 if we are lucky or even 2026 if framework feels like it.

Fun stuff…

:thinking: Consider BIOS 3.07 for Intel 13th was updated to “Stable” 10 days ago and en route to be released, it will be hilarious if AMD version gets 3.07 in late 2025 :rofl:

Place your bet on whether or not 3.07 will include a fix for CVE-2024-56161. Consumer phoenix is also affected.

It takes 5 minutes to give an update, even if that update is “it’s taking longer than we expected and we don’t have any other update right now.” Particularly in a situation where you set an expectation with a date several months in the past. Even simply acknowledging “sorry everyone we shouldn’t have given that December date but rest assured we are working hard on getting this out” would be the bare minimum that would be expected.

While I love Framework they are not customer focussed particularly when it comes to communication. It may sound harsh but it would be unkind if I wasn’t direct about it. I understand things take longer than expected and that staffing at Framework is much lower than a large manufacturer. But that’s not a valid argument for the few minutes it would take to give an update. @Kieran_Levin @Destroya

Quoting frame.work website:

You should be able to fix your stuff.

Unlike most products, ours are open for you to repair and upgrade.

Sure Framework. I should be able to fix my firmware and I’d love that. Please give the source code, we lot of good devs here and we can help in dev. If you believe in open source, then open it.

Hi Everyone,
We are still working through an update for this platform to finish some validation activities. This is our planned next BIOS release for sustaining platforms.

Thank you for the news!

I assume Windows has more users / is the corporate OS of choice, so is a bigger priority for them.

I’m not an expert but… This platform is also for Windows users so I don’t really understand the comment

My mistake, I meant Intel is often the processor of choice for corporate environments. Did not engage brain.

please include EVERYTHING that changes in the Changelog, it’s super frustrating to see a very short list of changes and then discover that ACPI tables have changed, keyboards & trackpad are exposed differently to the OS (and no support) and 0 Changelog notes about it.
