    So, the OS doesn’t do anything when not running?

    Is the next article going to be about not being able to charge your phone from the wall if there’s a blackout?

    (Doing it when off is a lower level fix than what most updates can provide, I believe, and very device dependent)

      It’s kind of surprising because I assumed it set a firmware flag on the charging IC, so it would persist even without the phone OS running.

      I’m pretty sure this is how Samsung phones do it.
