Left earbud has problems waking up #52

As soon as I got my Pinebuds Pro I tried the stock firmware and did not like the sound.

So I flashed this on, had some problems at first but got it to work. The sound did improve.

However now I have a problem where the left earbud does not want to wake up. I pull it out of the case, LED doesn't turn on. When I put it back in the case, the 4 white LEDs light up but the earbud red LED doesn't light up. I have to jiggle this around for a while (like minutes) till it'll randomly start working. I'm not sure if the earbuds are related to each other, I would assume they were independent. As in I don't know if having the right earbud out first will wake the left one.

I did back up the original firmware though I did not verify where it was written... so when the container was destroyed (exit) not sure if I lost it or the firmware is in the shared mounted repo.

I'd appreciate any thoughts. I will see if I have the original firmware and flash them back on to see if my left earbud improves.

Anyway after the earbud gets turned on, it works fine, I have used them for 6-7 hours (until they died) as a stress test.

Right earbud doesn't have any problems.

I'm gonna close this... I can wiggle the left ear bud enough times (pull it out, put it back in) then it'll eventually turn on.

I still have the backups but not worth my time to flash/check. Also I was not a fan of the OG sound so I'll just keep this.
