why don't phones implement a "charge-only mode"
- skrebbel 7y agoMy bog standard two year old sony's android says "allow data connection?" when the phone is plugged into something that has a data channel. I'm assuming it's essentially in "charge only mode" until I tap "allow".
- buboard 7y agoi never interpreted that as a charge only mode. i m not even sure if it charges if i press no
- Piskvorrr 7y agoI would assume so. But is it actually? (The ancient Xperia I had did report with a different USB ID and device class when in charge-only mode, but it did obviously communicate over data, at least as far as enumerating its endpoints.)
- NullPrefix 7y agoQuestion is whether phone's firmware can still talk through USB and be exploited.
