Hey guys, I'm new here, so I apologize if this is not the correct category for this question.
I've had my S4 since about last April. Only today, when I was plugging it into my car charger. A popup came up, telling me about power sharing, I think? It mentioned requiring a downloaded app, that it was not clear on naming. Telling me that if I did not have it, all of my device's power would be transferred to whatever it was connecting to, using a power sharing cable. To my knowledge, I've only been using charge cables, not "power sharing" cables, although I am not sure if those are considered one and the same, or not. It's just never really a term I had heard used before. I did not download any apps for it, to my knowledge. When I go to plug my device in, it no longer appears to accept that it is charging. I attempted to turn off my device to conserve my last 2% of battery life, and plug it into my computer. Plugging it in caused it to immediately boot back up, without me even touching any power buttons. Eventually the battery died, and I have since tried plugging it in again. Now it is simply struggling to power itself back on, over and over again, but has no battery. So it just... Sits there, vibrating every several seconds indicating an attempted power on. I'm pretty confused and a little concerned right now. So if any of you have some advice for me, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you!
