Hello guys
I recently changed from S9+ to S21 and I have a question : I usually use my desktop computer to charge my phone during night while I sleep. (with data USB cable)
I have no problem when the desktop is on (under windows) : my phone charge (with USB cable) and I can transfert photos.
When my computer is off, when I plug the phone, the screen show the charging screen for 2 seconds and stops
I have no problem with my S9 to charge when the computer is off. (I know that there is an option in the bios to keep USB charging when computer is switched off)
It looks like the USB power is too low, and the S21 doesn't want to charge with it.
Maybe ther is an option in the phone to authorize this kind of charging ?

There isn't such an option in the OS as of now. It's possible that the S21 battery amp requirements are more than those of S9
Do you think the computer's USB port has a lower supply when the computer is turned off ?
We don't know what kind of computer you have, or what it's USB port capabilities are. That's something you can try to figure out, looking at your computer or manual for the computer's motherboard. Also check the BIOS settings, sometimes you can control the power state of the computer when it is "off" and whether power is still supplied to the USB ports (e.g., to allow the computer to boot up when it detects mouse or keyboard USB inputs).
As an example, my MSI motherboard has a feature where you can install software to set the USB ports to a high power output state, so you can power USB devices using more than the standard output current.
My Dell laptop has a USB port with a special symbol that means it's for high-power output for charging phones etc. So it can handle charging modern phones, and puts out more than 0.5 amps, but only for those USB ports with the special symbol (lightning bolt).
You'll need to just find out more information about what your computer is capable of.
I have a MSI gaming pro carbon X370 ( the optional wake by USB is on, without that, you're right, the USB are totally off and nothing will charge)
I did more investigations .... I tried all my USB cables and all USB ports and finally find 1 combination that works.
Only 1 of 12 USB cables worked ( the one took from an external HDD ) even the original cable supplied with the phone didn't work and nor a 100W Ugreen cable...
And only the front USB work. The different USB directly on the motherboard doesn't work with this phone, despite I always used them to charge many devices...
for information the working cable is a KAIBAO revision 3.0
Finally it doesn't work with this cable : it take longer before the phone stops to charge, but it stops too ...
Hi,
You need to check the power requirements of your new phone.
Thank you.

I know a few other phones have managed to enable OTG host mode and charging simultaneously via a resistor on pin 4 (ID/sense) of the usb port. This apparently enables dock mode. I know the SIII does it as well as some xperias. Anyone know if the note has a mode like this, and what the resistor value is? Galaxy nexus its possible to patch the kernal to disable the boost mode from internal battery on OTG host mode. Anyone done anything for the note?

In my limited knowledge, I have just tried one of these with no success. No mods to the cable or the kernel or anything. Just wishfully hoping it might work. It does not. I am not even sure it is getting power to the USB device properly. I am trying to run a small Seagate FreeAgent disk drive. As expected, it runs fine when plugged into a USB port on my desktop or laptop. Plugged into the OTG using the standard OTG-type cable or this Y cable - without additional power - yields nothing as I would expect. Applying supplemental power to the Y cable from either a PC USB port or from the phone's charger gets the drive making a little noise and lighting up. But the phone still does not recognize the device. And I hear this slight pulsing noise from the disk itself that is not heard when plugged into the PC. Alas! Perhaps it needs yet more power. But all I have is either what comes from the USB port on the computer or the 1A max from my phone's charger.
Added later...
I have actually discovered that the Y cable works as a normal (not power supplemented) OTG cable for thumb drives, etc. But adding supplemental power to the thing makes everything stop working. The thumb drive which was working prior to adding the power cable stops working. With my Seagate drive (which requires additional power) plugging the Y cable into my phone makes the drive shut down after a few seconds.
It appears that either the USB port or the USB controller is failing (has failed). The phone still charges but neither the phone nor any computer recognizes that the phone is plugged in. Even when I plug the phone into a wall jack, the phone does not make any sound or light up or show it is charging (it does charge though). If I go to the battery settings while the phone is plugged in (computer or wall) the phone recognizes that it is charging.
If the phone is off and I plug in the usb cable (compter or wall) the phone turns on by itself. This is problematic because I cannot get into the download mode using the 3 button combo. I also cannot get into the download mode using apps like Reboot Widget.
I installed USB Host Controller which says that the USB cable is not plugged in when it is. I can disable and enable USB charging though. Changing the USB Host Drivers has no effect.
So it looks like I need to send it into mobiletechvideos for repair. But reading through the reviews there is concern that just replacing the USB port wont fix my problems if the USB Controller is shot.
Not only did they replace the USB port and get it back to me in about a week but they told me that since the controller had failed and the phone couldn't talk to the computer I wasn't charged the full price for the repair.

So I guess I'm asking if anyone here knows anything about this issue and if mobiletechvideos.com can repair it.
I am also going to email mobiletechvideos.com asking them this same question.
Thanks for your time.

Mobiletechvideos (Connexion2005 on xda) can most likely repair your phone. Him and Adam Outler have been doing the impossible with devices!
Hello,
I just got an external battery and tried using it with my phone, but it refuses to charge from one of the provided cables and enters USB host mode. On the other hand, if I plug in another of the provided cables it starts charging right away as if it was connected to the wall charger.
For reference, this is the battery I got: Genius ECO u306 (http://www.geniusnet.com/Genius/wSite/ct?xItem=58540&ctNode=3633&mp=1). If you look at the 3rd photo, you'll see an attached (red) cable hanging out. That one fails to charge my One, I also tried it with a Galaxy S5 and got the same USB host mode message, but when I connected it to my old Xperia X10 Mini Pro it charged normally. The battery also has one full USB and a micro USB port, and when I connect a cable from the full USB port to my phone (or the S5) it charges normally.
I got this battery so I wouldn't need to carry an extra cable with me, so it would really be great if I could disable USB host mode for this device, or when I want to use the battery. I also don't want to disable USB host mode completely, because I use my flash drive (OTG) with my phone from time to time. Does anyone know of a way to do this?

In case it matters I have an unlocked (and rooted and S-OFF) WWE One, with ARHD 53 (Android 4.4.2, SENSE 5.5), firmware 4.19.401.11 and TWRP 2.6.3.3
My uncle bought a new phone so he gave me his old Xperia Z, which I intended to use as a secondary device
Here's the issue:
-The Z charges only when it is powered off, and that too very slow. Charging it overnight brings it from 0 to 65%
-I can't get my desktop to even detect the phone when it's connected either switched off or switched on. I see nothing in devices and printers
-I ripped apart an old charging cable and tried to charge it through the pogo pin slot (image attatched) it charges alright but that's the only way I can charge the device. Since I intend to install a custom ROM on it, I need to unlock the bootloader, and that's impossible without connecting to a computer
-Also when I connect a usb drive through USB OTG it just glows its led and does not blink it
I'd like to know what the issue might be and what are possible solutions
I think the problem is in hardware and the connections of one of the data pins of the USB port is broken.
I have a phone which I want permanently connected to an OTG keyboard and charger. (Mounted in car)
It's connected via a microUSB charging hub. (Pic attached)
The male MicroUSB must be plugged into the phone at all times - it cannot be removed. Likewise, all other components (OTG keyboard and microUSB power cord) must always be connected permanently.
So, the only option I have is to switch the power off at the source, i.e. cut power to the microUSB charging cable going into the whole system. (The power is cut when the car is turned off)
All the OTG charging hubs do not resume charging when the power supply is turned on again. It only recognises to charge the phone when I unplug the male MicroUSB from the phone and reinsert it.
Can I set up a tasker task to simulate this unplugging and plugging, say when the battery is less than 50% - so that when the car is on it charges the phone.
I've done some research and there seems to be a usb bind/unbind command I could potentially use?
Thanks for the help.

You can cut 5v wire (to phone and not to hub-> needs 5v to operate with all usb devices) and put switch on, so when you need to charge just turn on the switch. So you have modified cable from hub to phone. Really simple solution. I've done it couple of times to fix friends tablets (aka 10 inch nav displays) + Phone charging + Auto android HUR + USB drive(for music collection), all shares same active powered hub.
Good luck.
