Freerunner not charging?

[Russell Sears]

You're hitting a bug that has been fixed in the newest kernel release:

https://docs.openmoko.org/trac/ticket/1158

(This ticket describes two bugs; your problem is fixed.  I think they 
need someone with the other problem to test and see if it's fixed.)

Beware that a recent kernel release came with a broken package, forcing 
you to manually flash the FR's kernel if the kernel installation fails.

I wouldn't mess with forcing the charge mode.  It is just as hard to 
setup as the real fix, and should have the same effect as removing the 
plug and plugging it back in, except that it allows you to create a fire 
hazard. ;)
