I'm unsure whether this issue affects anyone other than Verizon customers, since the more G3 owners I talk to, the more it seems Verizon's version is markedly different than others when it comes to the installed software. (I envy those of you who don't have to deal with NFL Mobile.)
75-90% of the time, when I plug the phone into a USB cable attached to a computer, I get a message saying the phone will not charge unless I use the cord that came with the phone. This is ridiculous. It's also wrong, and I have two methods of instantly proving this:
1. It happens with the cord that came with the phone.
2. With ANY cord, if I take the other end of the cord out of a computer and plug it into a wall adapter, the phone will immediately begin to charge.
The second point also is an extremely strong indicator that this is caused by some sort of software. And if it's software, there must be a way to disable it so I can actually do things like transfer large numbers of mp3 files. (I can't fill a 64GB microSD card, even if I plug them phone in at 100%, before it dies.)
Does anyone know of a way to disable this, at least until LG and/or Verizon start packaging the phone with enough cords to make this a viable option? (I'd say seven at a bare minimum--three for various rooms in the house, one for each car, one for work, and one for wiring it into my laptop for sampling purposes when creating music...)
