USB port for charging?

[cyclops]

Hi
the built in USB port in the centre console, when I plug in my phone to charge it, the phone still loses charge, is it actually capable of charging or is it just for data?

It charges fine for me.

is your cable made for both charging and data transfer for just data transfer?

My original Samsung data/charging cable works just fine, same with my wife's iphone cable.

Maybe it's a defective cable? Try to find a mate who also has one and see if the problem persists

I find that with some Apps the USB charger cant keep up. For example girlfriend plugged in her phone with Waze and it was too much. Apple Maps works fine.

Depending on what I'm running in the background, my S7 Edge may change slow, but the battery hasn't decreased while connected and navigating. Try closing all background apps before connecting the phone.

It's probably the cable. For a quick fix, try enabling the fast charge mode on your phone.

No Apps running other than background stuff.

Already is since getting it.

These are whilst it's on charge from USB port.

From a proper car charger it charges fine, but I want to use auto android so want it to charge at same time.

There's a good chance it's your cable but I also wouldn't be surprised if the USB port they put in is 1A instead of 2A. 2 amps is what is needed to charge larger items such as tablets or phones using more than normal data while charging.

Anyone know the car's output? Even 1 amp should be enough unless you have a big screen. My small screen runs fine with a 1 amp charger.
