I'm just curious, I rarely use adb for anything, just wondering if leaving usb debugging on is sucking up additional resources from my phone? Should I turn that off when not in use or does it not matter?
Thanks,
Jeremiah
Not that I know of, I have mine on a lot and don't really notice any difference it is only enabled when you have the usb in anyway.

Is it possible to somehow disable USB charging while phone is attached to PC via USB for debugging or mass storage? On WM there is an option to disable USB charging but here is impossible (as I know). It's good because if battery is on half, there will not be additional charging for a small amount, and that means longer life for battery.
Thanx
I use a battery pack to power devices in USB host mode using PA + ziddey's patch, but the phone is also getting charged in the process, which I don't want. This brought me to look for a way to disable USB charging. Any ideas?

Not sure how you would just turn it off, but in USB mode it won't draw more than 500mA on it's own.
There is this old thread back in 2011 that *might* help, http://www.modaco.com/topic/333406-usb-charging-commander/
I have a really weird problem running Windows 8.1 whilst using my Galaxy S 5.
The phone, when plugged into any USB port keeps disconnecting and reconnecting like 2 times a second...
Things I've tried:
1. Different USB cables including USB 2 and USB 3.
2. Different ports.
3. Disabling 'turn off device to save power' in all USB hubs/devices through Device Manager.
4. Using 'High Performance' power mode and ensuring all 'turn off USB devices to save power' options are set to 'No'.
5. Reinstalling the Kies 3 drivers and software.
Here is a video of the issue:

Does anyone else have any ideas? This happens all the time on my laptop...
Yep, happens with mine too, and happens with my nephews S3 too
Also disabled power saving for USB etc
Seems to help if you switch between USB debugging and back again a couple times while it's connected
Is there anything like a proper fix for this? Does the problem stop on Lollipop?
tried a lot
cant connect ....
With the stock charger?
I put the S5 on my trusty 8A 5-port Anker, and immediately noticed this. If you leave the S5 alone, it will settle to constant charging at max amperage, according to Battery Monitor Widget's log.
Nevertheless, I haven't seen such before, not even with my Note 10.1 2014, which uses the same charge mode.

I've been fighting the exact same problem.
While I _believe_ there should be a software solution for this, since it wasn't always a problem, I believe it to be power related and have gone for a hardware solution.
The definitive cure for me (as of this morning) was to purchase an external *powered* USB hub.
(FWIW, an Ativa Mobil IT "Travel" 7-port USB 2.0 hub from Office Depot. And only because that was the only model where it could be tested before purchase without destroying the packaging).
Hello to all.
I am seeking critique and suggestions for my troubleshoot -
Samsung Fascinate rooted running Cyanogenmod 10.1, Developer Options enabled and visible, toggled ON
notification never appears when I plug in USB - phone will charge - that's all.
I suspect the problem is the charging port itself (the physical hardware micro USB) because testing the very same cable with a different device works.
I don't have the menu switch to revoke permissions under developer options, so I deleted
/data/misc/adb/adb_keys
It didn't help. Can anyone think of any other software glitch I might test before jumping off to replacing the charge port?
It just acts like it doesn't know a data cable is present. Thanks!
Hey all,
I've been having issues with battery drain for the past couple of months. I've tried flashing the stock ROM 3-4 times and I still have the same issue.
The strange things is, now when I connect my phone to a computer, it doesn't recognize it, it only charges. I do not even see the USB configuration pop up to choose mtp. When I try to change it from the developer options, I'm only able to select mtp or ptp but none of it makes any difference. The phone doesn't even get detected.

Problem is fixed. Issue may be due to faulty cable or usb port.
Try selecting "connected devices" in settings then make your choice.
I'm facing same issue since I installed the Gcam by using the non root method and now I'm stuck with Unlocked Bootloader and PC is not recognising my device and is just charging it. I have also tried installing drivers manually but it didn't helped. I'm on 8.1 now and the problem is since the May Update.

Can you try adjusting the USB cable in your phone? Like pull it out a Lil bit while it's still connected or tilt it upward or downwards. Helped me

This is directly connected to your other posts on battery drain, if you are having to do this you have a damaged USB port and explains exactly why you experience that USB OTG wakelock, the damaged USB port is causing the phone to think an OTG device is connected and it keeps looking for it.

Won't a damaged USB port mean my phone would have charging issues too?

Either way, what you are having to do is not normal, if it happens with more than one cable then it must be the port, take it to a service centre and get it fixed.
If it fixes the USB wakelock is another question but it's a bit of a coincidence you are getting a bad connection on the USB and also have a USB related wakelock.

Okay I'll see if I can get it replaced.
