[Q] How to turn off USB charging?

[Glaux]

I use a battery pack to power devices in USB host mode using PA + ziddey's patch, but the phone is also getting charged in the process, which I don't want. This brought me to look for a way to disable USB charging. Any ideas?

Not sure how you would just turn it off, but in USB mode it won't draw more than 500mA on it's own.

There is this old thread back in 2011 that *might* help, http://www.modaco.com/topic/333406-usb-charging-commander/
