Can't change from Mass Storage to Charge Only....

yep, that's why i replied to your comment.

this ain't my 1st rodeo & having tried to charging with usb over the years, it's not that efficient of a way to charge phones & probably why ics eliminated it in the razr.

I think you must have hit your head in some of those rodeo's.

possibly but better than drinking the koolaid, thinking that usb charging is as good as the packaged wall charger.

Kool-aid? Volts are Volts, Amps are Amps. Do you think the wall charger has some magical power? Maybe it alters the freq. in the AC to DC conversion... der

As long as your USB ports have the correct power, and in some cases closer to 1Amp it will work quite well. Educate yourself, read the USB 1 2 and 3 spec... and then understand the different manufactures output.

One more point to your in ability to research, if Pin 4 is grounded it will rapid charge if it is floating it will detect as usb and slow (trickle) charge. Built in to most phones. Yeah they did not design that in... right..

now that i know about pin 4, i'll be able to sleep tonight, thanks.

go have another glass of koolaid.

I will agree with Bear 100% using the wall charger the one that Came with the Razr or Maxx is the best way to Go.! these are the Alternative one's i use and there 100% Motorola O.E.M.  The charger that come in the HD Dock is a Very charger to Use and the Cord they use on it is not as Bulky and stiff as the one that comes with the Razr or Maxx.

This charger here is the    

one that is boxed with

HD Dock

Regardless of whether you can or cannot click on "Charge Only", when you do connect your phone and your PC, it still charges. So, what's the beef? You may not be able to tell it to charge only, but it still does it. I guess they removed that option since most people use it to move files around. I know that is my reason for the connection.

interesting because my dx charges the same way when mass storage is selected, even though i still have charge only mode available.
