Hello everyone,
Though I didn't "checked" the box - "When device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to PC", my X1 still DOES NOT charge the battery!
So I am restricted to use only the power supply to charge my device.
Does anyone face the same problem ot is there any advice? Thanks.
Settings > Power
See if this option is checked

As I have mentioned, I DID NOT CHECK the box.
Anyone encountering the same problem or any advice. Thanks.
A search on these forums might help.
If the battery is low then a PC USB may not have enough grunt to kick the recharge into life. Use the wall charger instead.
The PC USB ought to be enough to trickle charge a mostly charge battery though.
I had a problem like this that only the wall charger could deal with, and I've read of several other similar incidents. You may be suffering the same thing.
try it on another computer or with ac powered usb hub, some usb ports don't have enough power to allow data transfer (activesync) and charge at the same time.
Hi, I'm wondering if there's any software out there that disable charging of the Diamond when the usb cable is plugged in. The reason is for protecting the battery from frequent charging and discharging, which I believe isn't good for the battery.
Thanks.
Maybe I'm completely mistaken, but there's an option for that when you click on the battery symbol. I'm not on an english ROM, but it reads something like "do not charge when connected via USB".
Settings -> System -> Power
Check "When device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the PC"
yes, but frequent charging is not going to do any harm to your battery
This message:
"When phone is on, do not charge the battery when connected to a PC"
makes no sense to me, because as soon as I connect my HD2 to my computer, it immediately begins to charge, and I do not know any way to stop it from doing so.
What harm can this cause?
The message itself seems contradictory. Why would someone connect their HD2 to the computer when it was off? To charge it?
nah it means that it could be charged only from usb charger (not PC) either when its on or off... when your phone is off it cant be charged through PC because it wont make connection and i think this function is made when u often connect and disconnect your phone from PC so u dont damage your battery...

Okay, but if that is true, then why does the phone ALWAYS charge when connected to a PC if the frequent connection/disconnection could harm the battery?
The warning message is characteristically cryptic in true MS fashion.
Why not just state directly: "Your charges via USB, but disconnecting it frequently while charging could damage your battery" if that is what they meant?
Where did you see this??

In the Active Sync dialogue when you connect the HD2 to a computer.
While connected using the usb cable you can press at the bar and then battery and you'll see the option. I'm also wondering if this will cause any harm to the battery.

It won't.
This option makes sense mostly when you connect the mobile to a laptop running on battery, for tethering for example. Instead of draining the laptop's battery and end with a full one on the mobile, ticking the little box means that both batteries will drain at the same time.

No, a PC in standby usually has power on the USB voltage lines, even when it's turned off.
This is indeed an option to prevent the phone from trying to charge itself from the USB connection. This could be useful for laptops or other devices (such as portable media players with USB host capabilities) where power must be saved instead of being used to charge the phone.
hi guys, does this explain the new O2 ROM 1.72 NOW not charging the phone when connected to my PC? Or is it a new bug I have found.
It does charge via the power socket/adapter but not through the PC...any thoughts?

This is an option in the HTC Sense 2.5.
Go to Start > Settings > About Phone > Battery.

Thanks for clearing that up!
There a number of points to make.
Connecting and disconnecting your phone will do no harm at all.
Some USB ports will struggle to start the charge process when the battery is very low.
If the phone is connected and being used in some way at the same time (if WiFi or bluetooth its on then there will be a continuous drain which a USB port may not be able to accommodate and it will appear as if the PC/laptop is sucking the power out of the battery.
The same thing can happen on a low battery and this is then very bad as the phone will operate at or around the discharge cutoff point and that will ruin the cell.
So you have the option to turn it off if there its any evidence of these situations occurring.
I realise that when I use my USB port to charge my phone, when it reaches 100% charge, somehow my MTP device in Device Manager disconnects. I have to either re-plug in my USB cable, or switch to camera mode and then back to MTP on my phone in order for my device to appear once again.
Is this normal behaviour? Anyone getting this too?
My mistake, it doesn't disconnect on 100% charge. But sometimes after a while my GS4 just disappears...
When I plug my phone into my car for android auto I have to go to USB options and change it from charging to MTP every time. I've gone into developer options and tried changing the default USB action but it never sticks. Does anyone have any ideas?
I noticed that too. I think we are stuck with this behavior.
It's a pain. I just want to plug in and go
