Sometimes when I plug in the wall charger I get the option to select between PC Connection/Developer mode/Charging only as if I were connecting to the PC. This behavior doesn't happen all the time, most of the times it goes straight to USB charging without the prompt.

What I have noticed is that despite the fact that I selected the "Charging Only" option from the lockscreen, the device doesn't charge as fast as in the case when it goes straight away to "USB Charging".

Is this related to how the charger gets plugged in maybe? My current theory is that the phone/OS doesn't detect the 1.0A charger every time but sometimes it assumes that a 500mA (PC) connection is present (I don't know what is causing this, OS/way of plugging in/hardware circuitry??) and therefore it is presenting the options to choose from (PC/Dev/Charging). So then by selecting Charging, it still operates under the 500mA mode and this leads to the increased charging times.

Has anybody else also noticed this??
