USB Preferences
I been charging my Google phone like I using do for the last two years and everything was fine. One day it stopped charging for some odd reason and it took me a day or so to figure out that a feature called "USB Preferences" which is something very new but I never wanted it or I downloaded it. So now when ever I try to charge my phone up sometimes it will charge at its usual pace or sometimes it will charge very slow which it never done that before. There are times it won't charge and I have to find this option on my phone to make it charge at all (the picture I shared will show what I mean now). Is there a way I can try to resolve this issue? I don't like it when I have to activate the charging process using USB Preferences which makes no sense now. I am even considering in the future when I get a new smart phone I can use a charger pad instead of using a cable. Any advice of how to resolve this now I really appreciate it.
easiest way to rule out phone or what its being plugged into is put the wall adapter on the cord and plug it into a wall outlet..if it works then you know its a power supply issue with the lamp or whatever you were plugging it into..
Okay so my phone is charging now on the lamp again. Just the phone of mine being screwy. In a year maybe two I might get a upgrade in the future.
I started using a lamp with a USB port that could charge it near my bed which was working fine for a few days when that started happening without warning.
Usually I only get that message when I charge off a computer.

I am using a Pixel 3A. I bought a lamp with USB port where I can charge it. It was working fine for a few days but then the issue started but I don't know if it is the phone or lamp.
