Oct 16, 2016 · Here’s the fix: There is a bug in the power management system (hard wired) and when it kicks in, the Priv won't fully charge (100%) from any standard USB outlet. No amount of resetting or cable / socket changing will make a significant difference; you might get to a workable percentage charge, but not 100%.

It's decent, however mine has started having battery issues. Also it runs a very old version of android because they stopped releasing updates for the Priv. It cannot run the reddit app probably because of the aforementioned reason.
Down side is that the battery does run down faster than any other BB but I am also not an every day heavy phone user. While the Priv may be on the way out, it is still a 4G and if the new 5G phones are great (and affordable!) it will make a great backup phone.
