Pixel XL - constantly defaulting to "USB supplying power to attached device"
No matter what I do, this phone constantly defaults to setting it to "USB supplying power to attached device" mode. I have never used this option so I'm unsure why the phone is doing this. I also need to adjust the settings when I try to charge it because it does not recognize that it is plugged in to a charger. After plugging in the phone to the charger, sometimes it will correct itself to "Charging" mode by switching it in the drop-down of the notification area and sometimes it will switch over after opening the Battery in settings. I have to play with the settings just to get it to charge every time and always have to have it plugged in first otherwise it will immediately default back to "USB supplying power to attached device" mode.
This phone was purchased used from someone who said they rooted the phone, but didn't install any images or roms. It currently is not rooted. And it is the Google Store version with the unlocked bootloader. Not sure if that info helps.
Can anyone tell me if this is a hardware or software issue and how to fix it?
If it was mine I would flash a factory image to narrow it down. Most likely software.

Okay, here is the problem. I have looked around, and this thread seems to be close to what I initially ran into.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2199042
What seemed to cause this was some sort of update verizon was telling me to download, and I kept deferring it until I accidently hit yes. After hitting yes and the update going through, the phone booted to "System software not authorized by Verizon Wireless has been found on your phone.”, which would force me to restart.
If I used odin's button patterns, I would come across the mentioned route in the thread.
But the route I went (because I assumed it would work) is download what was prompted as a "custom os" as opposed to denying it and (I'm assumed based off the thread just posted) starting the phone up. After an hour long car ride, leaving the phone alone and apparently "downloading" the custom os, my phone turned off.
Now what I am facing is only a red led when charging (which is normal when charging while off), but when using any odin button pattern, my phone simply vibrates and nothing more. Nothing on the screen, even when pressing the power button itself. It just stays pitch black. I have no clue what has happened. Any possible suggestions? I tried with battery out, charger in as well as battery in, charger out, and charger in, battery in.
If you plug the phone into your computer and power it on/attempt to enter Odin, does your PC recognize it?

Actually, plugging it into my computer just keeps making it vibrate as if it is starting to power on. I can't even get into odin or even a screen coming up for that matter.
Hey thanks for the help! I figured it out. I guess the battery was incredibly depleted from leaving it in download mode in odin. I charged it up and after a few hours, the power came on. I followed the guide in the thread I posted and it worked like a charm. Sorry about the confusion and I greatly appreciate the help. Thank you!
Yesterday in my phone the battery discharged and turned off. Connected to the charger charged up to a few percent, unfortunately I wanted to show something on the phone, I detached it for a moment from the charger and again off. And now the crux of the problem. On the power button zero reaction, I wanted to make a hard reset by VOL- and power button, the phone reacts, the HTC logo pops up, but the menu is no longer (blue flickering screen) so I have no access to this menu. I read about uploading a clean software by RUU, but for this you need to enable fastboot mode or download mode, it is like the option of uploading the software via ruu via the exe file, but unfortunately I can not find it on my model. I will add that after I plug in the phone to the computer still shows information about the unknown device. Any advice, ideas ? I'm fresh on these issues. Sorry for my bad English.
Is there a mod for this somewhere? I'd love to stop the screen from coming on when plugging it in to my PC, my car for Android Auto, etc.
Even if you find a method, I'd recommend keeping it enabled, as it is currently the only way to know that power is flowing to the device. Without a charging LED or activation AOD, the phone gives you no indication of its status and could leave you frustrated the one time you plug it in and the other end of the cable isn't properly inserted.

I've had it on my phones in the past and LOVED it. I don't really need any visual indication of charging, I've never had any problems with plugging it in and it just charging.
Hi! I'd like some help.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S10e (SM-G970F).
The power button is faulty, I got it back from service yesterday, unfortunately it was not repaired because the device is rooted.
Before I handed it in for service, I was able to turn it on without the power button (download mode -> restart), but now the download mode is not available either.
And it doesn't indicate charging either, the display is completely black at all times.
Yesterday the computer recognized it as a drive, but it showed only one TWRP folder. Today, unfortunately, the computer does not even recognize it, nothing happens when the usb cable is connected.
Is it possible that the device has remained in some service mode?
Somehow I would have to reboot or get into download mode, I just don’t know how..
So now:
The display is completely dark.
It does not respond to buttons.
The power button is broken.
It does not indicate charging.
The download mode does not start.
The computer does not indicate a usb connection.
The adb doesn't see either: error '(null)' not found.
What can I do?
Probably is bricked by the shop you leave to repair, get back to them

Thanks for the suggestion.
I can't go back to the service now, I made a complaint in writing before yesterday about this, the investigation time is 30 days.
However, I have new news about the device.
I realized that the device itself works, only the display is always dark.
I disassembled, unplugged the battery from the motherboard, and switched back to download mode and Odin recognized it.
I managed to update the software on it, the device restarted fine, only the display is completely dark.
The computer already recognizes it, I can give a command via adb, and I can hear the volume button when pressed.
The only problem is that there is no picture on the display.
I reconnected the display connector to the motherboard, but that wasn't the problem.
When the power is off, the display does not indicate that the charger is connected.
Does anyone have any idea what else I can do?
Try this command (It toggles the display on and off ):
adb shell input keyevent KEYCODE_POWER
I have a Pixel 3 that decided to randomly shut off and not turn on anymore. An Android update applied today, all was fine. Battery wasn't low. It warms up when charging, but no other signs of life, nothing on the screen when charging, no status lights, no haptic feedback. I tried holding power for 30+ seconds and nothing happens. I charged it for hours and still nothing.
If I plug it in to my PC it appears in device manager as a Qualcomm com device. I installed the Qualcomm flash utility and I can see the device but that is it. I can't get it to boot to recovery or anything as it simply does not power on in any way. I can't get ADB to recognize it connected and can't boot it to get it into developer mode.
It is in great shape, is treated gently, not sure what went wrong. My wife uses it often for gaming and uses it while charging frequently, maybe it was just too much.
I think I am just screwed, but maybe an image exists that is compatible with the Qualcomm flash utility? I haven't been able to find one, and the image supplied by Google doesn't look to be the right format.
