so that i can copy over files/use side sync if needs be but also charge the phone properly and not slowly by connecting it to a PC usb port?
can you have the charging pad connected to a plug but also have the phone connected to a PC via USB for this?
i can't enable wifi since i always have my home BB maxed out and always use LTE
No

what happens if it's connected to a PC via USB and mounted and you then place it on a wireless charger?
seems stupid to have this tech, but have to go back to plugging in cables to copy data over. if you do that a lot then wireless charging is pointless no?
Use airdroid, it has a lot of uses.
Fried an otg flash drive that I placed on my charging pad while transferring pics.

problem is, i'd need to use wifi and that's what i'm not going to do. i upload PC backups via LTE and copying files to my phone over wifi would be slower than USB.
guess i'm stuck on cabled charging until everyone else copies what apples bringing out soon.

Anyone else having the following issue:
When I connect via USB to something other than a wall outlet (e.g. PC, USB port in Car, etc.), sometimes it seems my wifi or 3g connections stop working. They display like they are working, but none of my apps are able to get anything from the net.
Any ideas what could cause this?
The only way I can recover from the situation is to reboot.
I have only noticed this when connecting the USB to my PC. I had assumed it was due to my tethering that the data was restricted to just the PC. If I notice the same issue when not tethering, I'll update the thread.

lose connection every couple of min when the phone is plugged into the computer via USB. If its plugged into the wall, no problems.
Anyone have any ideas?
Hey Guys
So I am having a very unique problem. I can charge my phone perfectly fine when it is connect it to the wall sockets. I put the mini usb plug completely into the phone and it charges fine. But when I connect to the my computer (mac, PC and ubuntu) it doesn't charge. If I plug the cable completely into the phone it doesn't charge. But if I partially plug it in, then it charges, but the computer doesn't recognize the sandisk card or my phones memory (so I can't navigate through the file directory).
It all started when I tried to charge my phone through the car stereo USB in my car.
Please if anybody has a solution to this problem, I would really appreciate it.
Thank you All.
Were you using the official car charger (that came with the phone)?
Maybe you using a low voltage/deffective USB port on your PC (mine has a 5 in 1 Card Reader with an extra USB port that is cheap and doesn't charge my iPod, for example)...

Try different port or get a replacement for your cord.
When I connect my Nexus 4 to my MacBook Pro and try to transfer files (or even just connecting it, not doing anything) my phone just comes in and out of connection. I know when my phone is connected when the File Transfer program (downloaded from Google) pops up.
The File Transfer program just randomly opens and closes, and sometimes when I'm in the middle of transferring a big file my phone disconnects and I have to start the transfer all over again (really frustrating).
I wonder if anyone else had this problem, or if anyone know of a culprit that could be causing this connection problem.
Anyone?! D:

Oh boy, no one?
Sounds like a dodgy USB cable or port. Try switching both. If it still happens, connect to a windows PC to see if it's the phone.
Not sure what the problem is but I have this happen on occasion too. I'm running Windows 7 so it's not a Mac issue.
I have problems with certain usb cables, some work and some don't. I get the best results using the usb cable that came with the phone, it has never given me a problem.

I have better results using my old Vibrant usb cable. OEM is kind of crappy for some reason. Once and a while I can unplug the charger from the wall and phone and still have some kind of electrical buzzing in the charger.
the OEM (Stock USB that came with my phone) charger doesn't give me any trouble either.
When I plug it in my laptop to charge, the charging is spotty (I assume because the electric output from the laptop is not strong enough). So I plug it into a wall outlet, no problem.
It's only when I connect to a computer when the connection gets interrupted and messes up my file transfers, annoyingly... so me and md5 are best friends now.
I just don't know if there is something causing this besides the phone, or is it the phone itself (so i can contemplate RMA)
If others have this issue then I want to know if they fixed it or found a workaround...

When I plug my phone into my desktop pc with an alternate usb cable I have it constantly disconnects and reconnects. As soon as I use the stock usb cable it stops doing it and works. I really haven't looked to see what the difference is between the cables could just be that the alternate I use is just cheap. The other cable works fine with my other phones too so its weird.
So here is what I'm trying to do... I want to disable the usb pc connection, because I have noticed that my phone charges very slow when connected to the computer, compared to when I have it charging to the wall outlet...
is there anyway to disable this feature so that I can just have my phone charging through the computer without enabling the pc connection?
I know on older previous versions of Android, when plugged to a computer you would get prompt with some options to choose (mass storage, kies, charge only, etc)
Is there anything similar available for the i337?

The data connection to the PC isn't causing slow charging.
Your PC's USB port most likely only puts out 0.5A, while the wall charger puts out 2A. (my numbers may not be exact, but the theory is the same).
Exactly as stated above. USB 2.0 only allows 500ma of charging power vs 2.0amps (2000ma) for the charger that is supplied with the S4.
I wish phone makers would start getting with USB 3.0 Standard. If they had a 3.0 connector on the USB cables supplied, USB 3.0 can supply up to 1.5amps, and potentially up to 5amp.
As an aside: the SGS4 only allows for MTP and PTP connections...
There is a way to allow Mass Storage mode, but I wouldn't recommend it, so I won't provide any more details on that.
Anyone got the same issue?
I cannot charge my G2 via PC or laptop USB. I am using a different cable though.
I've read somewhere that the needed output for a charger to work is 2.0amp, but this is already a USB connected to a computer!
If the charging doesn't work, that means i cannot connect it to the PC at all since it was never detected.
Is it the cable that has problems? This cable that I was using was still working perfectly fine yesterday with my other phone though.
Unless it is usb 1.0 it should only be the cable

computer and car charger not working
Me and the wife have LG G2 from Verizon and our phones will not charge from the computer or using our car chargers. Also, two of my 3rd party wall chargers will not put any charge on it. It thinks it is charging, but it doesn't and the percentage continues to drop. Very disappointing.

I don't know where you got the 2.0 amp from, but it's wrong. The charger that comes with the phone is only 1.8 amps, so you don't need a minimum 2.0 amps to charge the phone. If you plug in a lower amperage cable, you should get a warning that it will take longer to charge and you should use the charger that came with the phone. Haven't tried plugging into my pc yet. I should probably do that now to transfer some ringtones....
