        I have been using UB as an adhoc laptop replacement and I have been impressed by how much I can get done with my FP5.

        There are some sticking points though and this is one of them.
        My phone has issues drawing power when connected to an usb hub and staying connected to the external display.

        I had this issue in various forms over the past few months and it is very disrupting for work. Either I need to use the phone until the battery dies, then unplug the phone from the monitors to charge it or (on the occasions where it does charge while connected), I get disconnected while I am working.
        Is there anything that can be done to correct this?

        For example;
        With a wavlink usb hub, I can charge while connected (sometimes) but if I remove the PD cable the monitor disconnects and my session closes.
        With a ugreen usb hub, I get no connections if there is power or no power if I plug in PD after connecting to the monitor.
        With my dual monitor setup at work, I seem to have no issues but I use this far less frequently. This has my phone connected to a Dell monitor via usb-c and draws power from the monitor.
