Literally the opposite to what Rivian is advertising.That appears to be by design. The USB-C on the speaker is to allow charging the speaker when it is not docked. It does not support the ability to charge other devices.
Service just got back to me saying the same thing that it does not have the capability to function as a power bank/ charger. I'd swear I saw somewhere that it did this, maybe it was an old press photo or I was dreaming with unrealistic expectations. Seems like a miss to not be able to charge while the Bluetooth audio eats your phone battery. ?
Just a random thought - are you using a "normal" USB cable vs a "power only" cable? Something I bought came with a cheap "power only" cable and that cable does strange things or just does not work with other smart devices...Anyone else have this issue? Tested with two Pixel (7 & 4a) phones and when plugged in instead of charging the phone the camp Speaker starts charging itself the phone battery. Both phones say "couldn't switch" when I go to USB settings to switch to phone control instead of connected device control. Also same issue trying to turn off device charging.
Help please!
Mine should have been at 100% too, pulled it right out of the truck. Could see that being an issue with it but I don't get why my phone still wouldn't give me the option to disable charging in that case.
Yes my speaker on since I was trying to charge and enjoy some tunes. In a different test it also lit up as soon as I plugged my phone in when it was off.
I tested with two different cords; the original google cord and another I have used for power and data. Had hoped that was the issue but alas it wasn't a fix.
