Anyone experiencing slow to no data while charging? - Moto G Power Questions & Answers

Seems to mess with my data even when it’s just a cord plugged in to the type c port that’s not even connected to any power source.

i've tested it here on mine , and i can confirm this.
Apparently the upload speed drops about 90%
my upload speed went from 2.1 mbit/s to 0.19 mbit when connected to the cable when it is connected to the pc.
I don't see this happening when the cable is not connected to my anything

This is from a G Stylus I have, not the G power, but practically the same phone.
OK, you only talked about upload speed. We don't know what app you are using. I found that if you don't close the app (Ookla) after each test, it sometimes gets real slow. App anomaly? I tested multiple times with both LTE and wifi, plugged in, not plugged in, download and upload, always closing the app before each new test. Very little difference. Not the 90% drop in speed you mentioned.
Try a different app and try closing the app after each test.

@Android Diego, i am only testing this for the OP , i really don't care if this is the case, since , when the phone is connected to the cord, i am asleep....
i do find it interesting nevertheless
ok, so i did some retesting again,
for this test, the phone is always on the same position.
the below speed tests are done with ookla speed test
i first mention down speed, then up speed
below the test numbers in bold are the cable connected, the others are disconnected.
test 1, cord connected, speed test started: 4,73 /0.37
test 2 . same test again no change anyway, just hit test again button: 8,01 / 0.42
Test 3 , disconnect cord, hit test again: ; 12.1 / 0.44
test 4, hit test again : 13.4 / 0.45
test 5 , close speedtest, test again: 8.36 / 0.42
test 6 test again: 11.6 / 0.58
test 7 , connect cable, close app, test again 9.29 / 0.29
test 8 , test again: 8.69 / 0.43
test 9 disconnect cable , test again: 12.1 /0.88
test 10 , connect cable, test again: 8.74/0.33
test 11 disconnect cable, test again: 11.6/0.63
test 12 connect cable, test again: 9.26 / 0.64
test 13 disconnect --> connect cable: 7.26 / 0.40
test 14: test again cable connected: 10.7 / 0.32
Test 15 , unplug usb from the pc; hit test again: 10.1 /0.56
test 16 test again: 11.1/0.44
test 17 unplug cable from phone, test again: 12.5 / 0.45
test 18 prenote: after reboot phone the test server changed
test 18 reboot phone , start speedtest, wait a minute, test, cord still disconnected : 36.4/3.72
test 19 test again: 20.3/4.48
test 20 test again: 37.0 / 4.51
test 21 , connect cable ( to pc and phone) test again: 14.7 / 1.81
test 22 test again: 17.4 / 3.55
test 23 test again: 15.6 / 2.18
test 24 disconnect cable; test again: 39.2 / 3.54
test 25: test again: 40.6 / 3.85
so i think we can conclude it does make a difference,if the cable is connected or not but i'm not on a premium provider which may influence the test results.
further more, the upload drop is not as bad as in my previous post. , but i haven't tested it that extensively at that point.
i am also not sure if this is as bad as the OP is experiencing the problem?
Maybe someone else can do some testing as well? would be nice to see if this is a flaw in the phone or not ...

@pjottrr Thanks for the info.

My LG G6 had this same behavior. I posted on reddit and people thought it was a ground issue. But how could it be when the USB-A side is not plugged in, lol.
