It is not always necessary to have an outlet near you for charge the phone. This is especially true when traveling or in a crowded room with only one or two sockets to charge. Most cell phone users nowadays use an Iphone or hook up to smartphones. Smartphones, even though they sound smart and have made life easier with their nice easy-to-use features, suffer from the battery capacity issue. In any case, the battery life does not exceed one day. This is even worse when your phone is connected to the internet or there are a lot of background applications running on it. Therefore, it is always advisable to carry a power bank with you. But there are also ways to charge your phone via laptop, if you've never heard of them before. Also, until now, we would have thought the phone would only charge while the laptop is on with the flip open.
Charging the phone can be done via the laptop even when you sleep or when the flip is closed. All you need to do is a couple of settings on your system to enable the necessary ones.
Steps to charge phones when laptop is on Sleep
Step 1:
Open Device Manager on your system. This can be done by typing Device Manager in the Start menu, or by choosing it in the search box on the taskbar, or by long-pressing the Windows + R key which opens the Run command. You will need to type Devmgmt.msc in the text box that appears and click Enter.
Step 2:
Once a new window pops up, you will find a list of options in it. Scroll down a bit and choose the Devices option of the Universal Serial Bus control. When you click on its left, it expands and you can see all the USB drivers for the device.
Step 3:
Right click on the option called Home Connection for USB. Choose from the menu, Properties. This helps you understand the various properties of the primary hub.
Step 4:
A new window opens. At the top, you will find various options like General, Power, Advanced Ladriver etc. Choose the Energy Management option.
Step 5:
