I almost always use the power plug so I can get a faster charge anyways. Assuming it stays in the outlet.
I’ve never heard of the charge only mode, but it’s possible it does exist in some models/brands. Basically the dongle (or PortaPow brand I have) has only two through connections for power so the data pins are simply not there. There is no path for data to leave your phone, at least through the charging cable.
i agree that using the charger solves the issue, but it’s not always that handy. On aircraft, I use the 2 round pin euro adapter duckhead on my charger, it tends to stay in the socket better.
Mine is bright Red, and easier to find in my “United Amenity Kit” and harder to leave plugged in somewhere.
