Hi,

I've connected my HTC Desire to my Pandora via USB for tethering and works great. Only one thing: the Pandora charges the telephone. Can I turn the USB power out off?

tnx

One option would be to buy a cable without the charger pin connected.

I have a Desire but no Pandora yet. What exactly can you do whilst connected?

Id guess use it for storage and use the internet it uses(3g etc)

Set GPIO164 LOW. I don't think there is anything setup in the kernel to make it easy but that is what needs to be done to shut off USB power.

I assumed that would be the main thing, glad to hear it works well. I wondered if you had used/found any other uses?

I will try Bluetooth, but that will drain both batteries I think.
I haven't tried any other uses than internet. Maybe storage?
