My phantom transmitter battery seems to be running down a bit too quickly and I realized that my phone is charging from the transmitter. That can't be helping my battery duration time. Wondering if there's a simple way to stop the charging while still keeping the connectivity necessary for DJI Go?

I have the same problem with the P4 controller charging my Nexus 7 android tablet and cannot find the switch in the Go 4 app. Any more information available please?
From what I have read recently there is no way to turn off charging on some Android devices.
Come on all you creative people out there, isn't there a fix for this?. Is the signal between the phone and R/C referenced to ground so the V+ wire is irrelevant and can be snipped? Any other ideas? A current limiting resistor spliced in the usb wire neg or pos line??
Can anyone predict damage to phone or R/C will occur if you cut wire #1? Will the connection try to load V+ through the D+ line and blow the buffer circuit or something else as sinister?
Thanks anyway - it hasn't caused any problems, but of course, the micro USB socket on the N7 is used for charging, so not surprising it doubles up when connected to the remote controller.
