USB C charging stopped working?

It used to work but now seems like there's issues with handshake. Anyone else experience this?

For me no, and this also has nothing to do with BigSurface.kext.
I think the only possible problem is USB mapping issues. But anyway I will leave it here for a couple of days to see if others have the same problem

Well, on my i5 SP7 with BigSurface v6.5, if I boot with the USB-C power adapter plugged in, the battery icon shows the little lightning bolt as if it was charging, but the battery is actually discharging. If I unplug and replug the USB-C power adapter, it starts charging again.

BTW, I do not use badstorm's EFI for the SP7, but Xiashangning's EFI, updated to OpenCore 0.9.2 and all the kexts updated as well.

Might be surface UEFIframework update.

I was playing around a bit and concluded there is some handshake issue when charging starts - OSX keeps showing the icon change between charging and not charging every 5 seconds...

确实,usb-c插着充电线,显示充电状态,但是电量是往下掉的,还有,按一下电源键,不能熄屏,长按电源键,跳出关机啥的菜单,原先可以按电源键熄屏的,但是合上键盘盖,能熄屏,做的很好了,就提交一下这些问题

最近的surface驱动更新修复了c口充电问题,可以去win系统里更新下驱动再尝试充电。

Translation: The latest Surface driver update has fixed the C-port charging problem. You can update the driver in the Windows system and try charging again.

I think we can close this now.
