So I usually have my phone plugged in to my laptop. My S2 was always plugged into my laptop and used to get charged to 99%. But my S3 wont. Stupid thing also connects as a PMP. That might be it. I dont need it to be connected as a PMP. Cant even turn it off.
How do I charge the phone while its on and connected to laptop.

So I tether my computer to my 3G connection via USB with pdanet... but whenever I hook it up and use my phone, it doesn't charge my phone, and I lose quite a bit of battery after using my phone for a while... And the phone gets pretty warm...
And, I've also been hearing things about an actual cap to 3G data... should I not be tethering?
Thanks.
I can't say that I am wholly surprised that your phone is getting warm. I'm not sure about the charging though. The longer you use your phone, especially while connected through USB will get warmer and if it doesn't get charged it will die significantly faster. Without PDANet does it charge via USB fine?
I noticed this issue, where the Photon powers on by itself when i plug it into the computer via usb.
When the phone is off and plugged to the wall charger I get the battery charging image. But When the phone is off and plugged into the computer via usb, it powers on. Also With the usb plugged in and in charge only mode, when i perform a shutdown on the phone, it restarts right after completing shutdown.
I know this might now be a serious issue, and no one have probably come across it but same thing happened when it was connected to the PS3, i powered it off while it was on and connected to ps3 via usb and it powered back on. This could be some weird usb sending out signals trying to mount the sd card and in return it forces the phone to turn on, can someone please verify this on their phone, my brother has a photon i am gonna try this on his later tonight, just need to know it is on mine,
Well i confirmed with another Photon, it is the same issue, whenever it is plugged into a USB it turns on by itself, dont know if this happens with other phones, but it is weird

Same thing here and it is so annoying when I am just trying to charge it and it keeps booting back up.
does anyone know of a solution, i ll try playing around with it, may be something with usb debugging, highly doubt it though
Same here. I think it must be designed this way for some reason.
Does it turn on if the USB is set to 'Charge Only' mode? I think it turns on automatically by design in Phone Portal or Sync modes but it probably shouldn't in Charge Only mode.
My Nook charges fine when turned off but does not charge at all when powered on. My nook also does not show up as a connected device when I plug it into my computer. I am rooted running CM9. Any advice?
Thanks

IF you mean that it doesn't charge while the screen is on and connected to the PC, that's normal behavior... the current draw is too much for the USB port to maintain the operational draw as well as provide any extra to charge it. Most of the time, you'll notice that you're actually still losing charge even though it's plugged into the PC... albeit at a much slower rate than usual.
As far as it not being recognized... what do you mean? You don't get the drives mounted? It's not being recognized by ADB? There's plenty of threads related to ADB, try giving it a search. If you mean that the drives aren't being recognized, you have to have a SD card in and turn on USB Sharing (or whatever it's actually called) it should be in the notification area.
Thanks for the reply,
It does not charge from an outlet while powered on; only when powered off.
What I mean in regards to it not showing up on the PC: I plug it in and it does not even recognize a device is plugged in - I don't even get to the install new drivers part. Its as if nothing was ever plugged to begin with.
The nook is recognized when I use my galaxy nexus usb cord and attach it to the computer. I am starting to think this is a hardware issue; I just find it strange that the hardware works as intended while the Nook is powered off.

There's a chance that you have a broken Nook cable then.
Try getting a battery monitoring app to see what sort of current you're getting while it's on. Is the "n" on the cord lighting up while it's plugged in and on?
Yes, when it is on and plugged in the "n" is green no matter the charge
I think you should try a different Nook cable, they can do that for you at B&N's actual store without you having to buy a new cable. If that doesn't work I would wager that it would be the port.
Now, I feel I should point out that for reasons unknown to me that manual specifically says you should not plug the unit in to charge while the unit is off. As I said, I don't know why. I know I have done that with my iPhone when I need a really fast charge (plug it in, then turn it off) but never had to do that with the Nook. Just... Some FYI for you.
Anyone else have this issue?
I charge my phone on my desktop computer via USB, when I do a shutdown on my computer my Lumia will stop charging. I have to unplug the phone and replug to charge again.
Its like my windows 8 PC is telling my phone to stop accepting power.
there's no issue with my Samsung galaxy s2
The computer is set to keep USB devices powered even shut down. Which the S2 has no problems with.
Just rooted and flashed the omni rom (love it btw) I plugged my phone up to my laptop and nothing, then my PC and nothing again. The phone charges off both though.
Thanks
Are you sure the cable is good? I've had experiences with some cables that only charged the phone and couldn't transfer data.
I have similar
Almost like the USB port gets a little loose with gravity. If I rest the phone and the cable on the desk, I can't maintain the USB connection. If I put the phone near the edge, and let the cable hang over, it puts just enough torque for the data connection to work.
Happens no matter what cables I use.
I've thought about asking HTC, but I have a feeling it means it goes in for repairs.
