When I turned on SC3 and connected my samsung phone I noticed the battery on phone has a lightening on it for charge. notifications say connected to usb accessory and cable charging. Now it just jumped from 94% to 95% confirmed. Nothing stated in manual about this, and something I just noticed.
Skycontroller 3 is charging my Android phone..

Possibly a OS issue Android is always updating anyone see this on IOS or non Samsung phone?
I will check my DJI Inspre and Mavic 2 tommorow they all use the same devices

My Nividia tablet and Note 9 (running different android versions) both charge from the controller. I rooted the tablet and have tried different things and still cannot get it to stop charging.

And you cannot set the voltage down, in the software ?
The strange thing is that the wall plug has a output of 5v and the sc3 3,7v

You can mod the USB cable to stop it from charging. Read through this post and there is a video explaining how its done.

Skycontroller 3 drain issue
Hey so I am trying to use my Honor 8 with the Anafi's controller ( Controller 3) and while everything else works fine for connectivity the controller also seems to be charging my phone, something that I don't want as it appears that it also causes the controller battery to diesee quite fast...

The SC3 USB-A connector will output 5v using a boost regulator from the battery's lower voltage.

True, but for most of us the easiest way to avoid a dead device is to make sure the phone and controller are fully charged each morning before flights. (and naturally the drone, too)

I totally agree with you as you can see from this post I made almost 1 year ago you and I think the same.

That is good advice. I tested my DJI Mavic 2 and Inspire 1 one and the both exihibit the same issues as the Anafi possibly a Android update

Samsung S8+
Samsung Note 5
Samsung Tab S3

My Android lg g6 is being charged by my skycontroller3 This does not happen with my iPad mini. I get multiple notices from my USB port about charging. Sometimes I cannot communicate with my sc3 in File transfer mode. This did not happen before the latest software upgrade with FPV. Same hardware as with previous software version (same cable too)

This is a very common problem that has been around for a long time. Its just a Android problem as I think Apple resolve the issue on iOS devices. It is really not a big deal as long as you have a good battery in your phone or tablet. If the battery is starting to get old and does not last long under normal use then yes it can lead to problems when flying.

Good to know I would think android should fix it first Time I noticed been flying for 4 years guess I just didn't pay attention Thanks for you help
This charging issue may always have , indeed, already existed but for some reason ,since 1.6.1 the sc3 switches my LG G6 phone from file transfer mode to charge mode even when my phone battery is at 100% fully charged. It does this multiple times. Same hardware, just 1.6.1 upgrade
My LG G6 android phone was not connecting properly to the controller due to continuous changes in USB charging mode . The most recent version 1.6.2 has corrected this problem. Thanks Parrot for the updates. Unlike my other drone , these guys listen and improve all the time. A tough little drone.
