USB charging

thecensor · #1 (**permalink**) 12-15-2011, 02:05 AM

IS there a way to set it that the battery doesn't get charged when connected to a computer via USB? I know there is a setting for that in WinMo, but I can't find it a Android.

Thanks

Honestly, why would you want this? I don't see any advantage to it...

I have a large battery on my phone and I want to conserve power on my netbook

Does it really draw that much extra?

I googled around, I can't seem to find a definitive way to do it in Android. WinMo was a "simple" registry change as I'm sure you're already aware.

Yeah, WimMo was simple, my next question is: the wifi stopped working. It used to connect fine, then it sayd "Turning on" and the error, now it's stuck on "Tuning on".

lol, reboot? I dunno. Don't really use wifi, but it usually works w/o issue for me.

Tried rebooting. Maybe someone else knows...

better to customize the cord or netbook. I'm sure on the netbook it could be programmatic as to whether the netbook is plugged in. netbook o/s?

I read somewhere that it's because of low RAM. Is there a way to increase the "RAM" on the XDA?
