USB - Charge Only

1bit — Sat, 10 Jan 2015 11:11:00 GMT

Is there posibility to have an option when connected the phone to PC / Laptop via USB cable to have "Charge only" option like the HTC phones had?

Most of us charge our phones while at work using the PC / Laptops USB ports and while it is corporate network I feel somehow uneasy about my data being exposed to Admins who have a remote access to those company computers ....

Try to disable usb data transfer or something like media transfer in settings as you connect your usb to the pc.

How about settings, xperia connectivity, usb connectivity, MTP, after you connect your phone, unmount your phone from the computer, it should continue to charge your phone

You could try purchasing one of those USB cables with the magnetic connector that attaches to the two exposed power pins on the left hand side of the Z3's body. Simply plug the USB connector into any available USB port on your laptop or use the USB charger supplied with your phone. I like this recharge approach as it eliminates having to open the cover to access the mini USB port on the phone.

I hope you find this suggestion helpful.

Cheers,

I love my Z3C, but I hate the thoughts about loosing my phone and anyone finding it, will have access via USB to my phone, or at least to my SD-Card. Why is it impossible to fix this security breach? I can't imagine, that it's so hard to do so, because others already have this feature.

I hope you can ask the devs to fix it in the coming updates, please.
