    is it possible? i have my eee running to my sprint razr phone for my phone-as-modem service....

    it works great, but the cell is sucking up my eee's battery because the usb-miniusb cable is also charging my cell as it xfers data...

    is there a setting that would only select data connection only and eliminate the charging part?

    i've searched for "data only" usb-miniusb cables, but i don't think they exist... these cables do exist with diff style phones but not with the very popular miniusb cables...

    thanks :)
