Hey everyone,
Ok, so i've searched xda, google, frandroid and I still can not find any relavent info on this topic. Is it able to be done, without murdering my usb cable? Is it just a matter of editing the chargemon file or something similar?
Note: No offence but if you have no idea please don't comment as i've seen in other forums and such that most people commenting don't know, and that is not helpful to me. Sorry.
Anywho, cheers in advance for advice and such,
regards,
evilbarcode.

Bedtime bump goodnight xda peeps.

i am also looking for the answer to this question..!!!
strange no replies been made..! !! how to disable charging from USB Cable when connected to PC in Xperia X10
no offense but I was just wondering why?
X10mini miniCM7 2.0.1 using XDA Premium App
I also want to know, IF and HOW disable charging via USB cable, when connect phone to pc.
Reason: I connect/disconnect my X10 mini about 20 times in day (to copy files, internet connection-tethering) and my battery charge, discharge, charge, discharge....etc and it´s not good for battery life. It would be better discharge during using X10 for tethering internet connection and then fully charge.
i had asked like this question in that thread before.

Hello, I thought it was possible to load my XDA with the cable of my IPAQ 3850. So now I have a problem, because now I can't load my XDA anymore. Do you know an answer for this problem please help me.
Greets, Helmoed
As I posted in your other question, if you have used an ipaq charger and now your xda wont charge, you have probably damaged the xda, the ipaq cable is NOT compatible, the voltage lines are different.
so is the pin assignment. isnt it crusingthru?
Yes pins are different, I had explained to the person asking the question in another post "xda wont charge" or something like that.
xda not charging
I have the same problem, I connected a gps connector (ipaq version) to my xda and after that my xda is not charging.
Is there some other way to charge the xda or a fix? What can be damaged? Where can I find documents to open my xda?
ok, i have opened my xda, but is it possible to charge my battery another way? Maybe with a wire directly on the battery?
Please help me

Hello all,
I'm trying to get some extended time connection between my laptop and TG01, but doing so while in Android seems to sometimes overcharge and overheat the battery. So I'm looking into some sort of hack to allow connection of the above but the battery to be left out of the TG01...
something similar to:
http://shaddack.twibright.com/projects/hw_nokiabat/
Can anybody help me with this? Right now if I'm shutting down TG01 and remove battery, it won't start although it could because it's connected via USB cable to the running laptop.
Thank you,
Nini.
Later edit:
Or some other idea that might work, if I could connect TG01 with laptop via a hacked USB cable that doesn't allow charging...
C'mon, nobody can play with some resistances and see if tg01 can be fooled in thinking that battery is present? I guess that, following the link above, one hardware engineer might easily figure out what resistance(s) to hook and where... please
Is it possible now that we have root or no chance? I remember it came to psp after it was rooted. Can someone knowledgeable investigate please. Many thanks in advance

No unfortunately that's something that's set up in the hardware.
That is right ... first of all we need more than 5Volt to charge the battery and second the battery charging need more than 500mA ... but both are the maximum of USB specification. Therefore is not possible to enable charging via USB port.
And how is this development?
On that note, thread closed.
So I have this duracell usb charger and always when it becomes empty (or when I turn the off switch when still plugged in my phone) it displays that message after like 5 seconds. Can this damage my phone or anything?

Well, if it makes you feel any better, I've seen the same message using an Energizer high-power USB charger which gives 1 A instead of the usual 500 mA.
My hypotheses so far are:
- when turning off/on the charger/car engine, there's a voltage spike from the charger which is not filtering properly the output, causing this message to appear on the phone
- the stock ROM/kernel is not intended to be used with high power chargers like these (the Samsung charger gives only around 700 mAh)
- the USB board of the phone is starting to give away, a common fault with the i9100 it seems.
As long as the message appears, it means the "exceptional condition" was caught and handled, so it should probably not damage anything.
I use iSound Potable Power Charger and i dont get any sort of error. Can be found here:

There is also a smaller version available. Its the best USB charger available out there!
if you have resurrection remix or any that allows modifying charge voltage, try reducing it to minimum, worth a try

okay, so i had this problem and it drove me mental tryin' to find the solution.. i tried flashing roms, restore it to factory setting and all the good stuff with software but none of them solved it..
after much googling and searching around in web, i bumped into youtube video which taught how to change the flex cable of the phone.. (the cable and a small circuit which connects usb to main board).. i went ahead and changed the cable and VIOLA!!!
PROBLEMS GONE..
turns out it was a hardware problem and not a software one..

Share the link?
Hi. i just want to share my work with you my firends. I made dock station and i was able to get OTG MODE AND CHARGING AT THE SAME TIME for SONY XPERIA S LT26i , but XDA USER GregórioAxiaMagno get it tested and working on XPERIA MINI st15i. Thats mean you can do your own almost for nothing, few cables + 100k resistor thats it.
Enjoy!

Yeah!
As said by our fella, sonic_boom :highfive:, we can easily mod a OTG cable, or even mod any normal cable/adapter, to allow OTG and battery charge, at the same time, in our little lovely paunchy phones :victory:.
On the sonic_boom's site you can find clear and simply diagrams to the goal.
Also you can find my test at youtube channel - and other things more :laugh:
So if you think that the LiveDock, even with a nice design, can be just an expensive plate, you have now one more argument haha.
The resistor is easy to find... in fact, all the materials are cheap and easy to find. In my case for example, I'm a geek so I have a lot of old oficial cables and some equipments, the only thing off my collection is the resistor.
My video here.
The only thing what can damage your phone is if you use power more than 5v 1000mA (genius), or maybe connect the wrong pins (genius x 2, because everything is well explained), I mean, if (isTrollTin || isMorePowerThanTheCorrect) { yourPhone = :angel: ; }.
It is worth is very simple!
EDIT: BTW if you have ICS at your mini and maybe OTG isn't working, is just install the BusyBox by Stephen (Stericson) and done! To mount one or more data travelers I used [root] StickMount by Chainfire

LOL i use 5V and 3A (3000mA) charger , working perfect
someone have to be big troll to brick phone using my diagrams correctly

LOL xD, pretty nice so. I'm a noob that need an charge like this. BTW just curious, you don't get problem with your touch screen while with this energy?

Why? Connect your charger then check command DMESG. Connect USB charging from computer then check same command. Then connect 5V 3amps charger and do the same thing. Android will decide how much power can take while charging. Phone is charging slower when you use computer I AM not sure but I think max is 500mA from AC charger you can get 1500 mA but iam not 100% sure

Problem. USB host mode RESET on "fully charged"
Hello guys!
I have such a OTG+Charging solution for me and it works like a charm (on cm10, sony ericsson mini pro sk17i - see freexperia). Thanks to sonic boom for the comprehensive howto!
The OTG-USB is connected to a USB hub (that powers my devices and charges the phone!) and a usb-ethernet connected to it for network access.
It works perfectly, but...
...when the phone is "fully charged", it does something to its usb connection (reinitalizing it, I guess) and the ethernet is lost. That would not be much of a problem, but the phone resets the usb connection roughly every 2 to 3 minutes once it's fully charged.
As long as it's charging: No problem whatsoever.
Do you know that problem and what can I do?
So far I have found the kernel-switches in the filessystem (proc or sys, dont remember) to influence host-mode and charging beahviour and have starting playing around with them, but to no avail: Either no network or no charging.
And, as soon as the phone goes to stand-by, the charging is resumed and the usb-host connection subsequently dropped.
I am very grateful for any suggestions as this problem prevents me from having a nice little server running on my phone with performance better than a raspberry pi! (Wifi is hardly an option: I have around 14 Wifi Networks in my surrounding that kill any decent latency).
Thank you for your help in advance!
