But this bug is easy to reproduce, it is just impossible to connect a USB cable to an android phone WITHOUT charging it !

It is regrettable to see such an obvious and inconvenient issue being dismissed without thorough analysis or resolution. Ignoring this problem only penalizes the entire Android user base, whether they are developers or consumers.
The automatic USB charging behavior clearly limits the flexibility and efficiency of Android devices in various critical scenarios (drones, external DACs, infotainment systems, etc.). Failing to address this shortcoming negatively impacts the user experience, especially compared to other operating systems that offer this functionality.
By disregarding this feedback, a significant weakness in the Android ecosystem is allowed to persist, which could eventually drive some users and developers toward other platforms better suited to their needs. It would be far more constructive to consider improvements that enhance competitiveness and user satisfaction.

Hello,
As already mentioned, reproducing this issue is very straightforward: simply connect any Android phone to a USB cable and you’ll see that charging automatically starts, with no option to disable it. Every time you plug in a USB cable, the phone begins to charge, whether you want it to or not.
This limitation prevents many advanced use cases (for example, with drones, external DACs, etc.) because there’s no way to stop the phone from drawing power from the connected device’s battery. It would be highly useful to have an option to disable USB charging on demand, in order to preserve the battery of accessories or specialized equipment.
Thank you for considering this request, which impacts both regular users and developers who need to control the phone’s behavior in professional scenarios.

We have shared this with our product and engineering team and will update this issue with more information as it becomes available.
Description
Issue Summary:
It is currently not possible on Android to connect a device to a USB peripheral without the phone automatically charging. This limitation restricts several use cases where disabling charging is necessary for optimal functionality, unlike iOS devices which provide this option.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect an Android device (e.g., POCO running Android 13, Version 1.0.10.0.TKCEUXM, as per attached image) to a USB peripheral, such as a DJI drone remote controller or an external DAC (digital-to-analog converter).
2. Observe that the phone immediately starts charging from the peripheral, without any option to disable this behavior.
What Happened:
When connected to peripherals such as a DJI drone controller or external audio equipment, the phone forces charging from the peripheral's battery or power source. This reduces the autonomy of peripherals, leading to inefficiencies and limiting their usability during prolonged sessions.
Expected Behavior:
There should be an option in Android settings or developer tools to disable automatic USB charging when connected to certain peripherals. This would allow efficient data exchange or interaction without draining power from the connected device.
Why It Matters:
Disabling USB charging in specific scenarios can provide significant benefits, including:
1. Drone Controllers (e.g., DJI remote): Avoids depleting the controller's battery unnecessarily, allowing longer drone flights and better operational efficiency.
2. External DACs (Digital-to-Analog Converters): Prevents additional power draw from the DAC's battery, improving audio quality by avoiding potential voltage drops.
3. Car Infotainment Systems: Eliminates redundant charging when using Android Auto, especially in cases where the phone is already fully charged and connected to a wireless charging pad.
4. Portable Gaming Consoles: Devices such as the Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch connected to an Android phone for tethering or file transfer could avoid draining their battery unnecessarily.
5. Power Banks or Portable Batteries: Allows data transfer (e.g., backups or media file exchange) without consuming the limited power reserve of the power bank.
Is this a security-related issue?
No
Device and Android Version:
Device: POCO
OS Version: 1.0.10.0.TKCEUXM
Android Version: 13 TKQ1.221114.001
Security Update: 2024-11-01
Additional Notes:
This feature would align Android with iOS in terms of usability and flexibility, making the operating system more suitable for professional and specialized use cases.
Bug Report:
ADB bugreport can be shared if necessary. Please let me know if additional details are required.
Thank you.
