Help Plug USB data cable, but don't charge please!

This might sound like an unusual question, but then, I'm an unusual person so I'll have many more. :)

Is there a hidden setting somewhere where I can tell the phone not to charge when I plug in the USB data cable?

So, please charge when I plug in the power adapter, but please don't charge when I plug in the USB data cable.

The reason I'm asking is because with all of experimenting I'm doing, trying to get my USB PC to phone connection working, my battery is being overcharged. Yes overcharged to the extent that the phone has even popped up a message once or twice telling me to disconnect, that the battery is fully charged.

TIA
