If I plug my Jolla in to the PC or any computer for that matter, it will not charge unless I choose "Charge only" mode. This has happened many times where I plug the phone in too charge and it won't charge at all because I did not click on "Charge only" from the menu.
Is anyone else had this issue?

My syncing/charging story
After installing Aurajoki 2.0.2.51 I have a problem with charging /syncing to my PC.
Setting to charging only works fine. Setting to PC connection gives the message “Oops, charging does not work…” and neither charging nor PC connection occurs.
I have used different cables, restarted Jolla, used different USB sockets, all with the same result.
Finally I restarted my PC (W10) and syncing/charging worked as it should.
Later on it failed again but after restarting it worked once more.

I don't know if this can be classified as a bug because it is supposed to be a feature. :)
Go to Settings > USB. If the 'Default USB mode' is set to 'Always Ask', then it will show you the pop-up menu that you mentioned and ask you whether you want to charge the phone or connect to the PC. You can set it to 'Charging Only' or 'PC Connection' mode if that is the default mode you prefer.

I had the same experience a couple of times when USB current might have been too low. When I changed into another plug (e.g. from laptop to docking station) the phone started charging also in dev mode.

lakutalo ( 2015-03-26 17:44:27 +0200 )editI have the same issue
slmeyer ( 2015-03-26 23:13:58 +0200 )editI would say more: being plugged in "PC connection" mode it consumes even more power, even when PC is in sleep mode (about 70% were drained overnight)..
