This isn't a problem but more of just a general question. So does anyone else experience your phone kinda lagging or having screen sensitivity issues (have to press hard on screen to scroll) while having the phone charge? This is like a 50/50 thing sometimes it does this sometimes not. So post your experiences with this

Yes indeed. In my case, it's caused by my HTC USB cable that came with the phone. When I use the charger from my old LG ENV3, i never get that problem at all. As soon as I switch to the HTC cable, it's nearly un-usable whilst plugged in. It's odd, because the HTC cable works fine for charging and transferring data, so I don't know, but there's something wonky with it.
Hmm interesting

Nope, you're not. It can certainly become rather annoying if you're trying to use your phone while it's charging.
Yea, using swype is IMPOSSIBLE when plugged in.
I never used to have this problem before, so I wonder if this is something that comes with age of the phone. I've run all kinds of roms/kernels and never had this issue until maybe a month ago. But I think I've successfully narrowed it down.
You need a charger that outputs 5v at 1000mA. Any more or less and you'll get the wonky response. I have an 800mA and a 1.5A charger at 5v and I get the laggy response. And I took it a step further and noticed that I get maximum charging speed (regardless of kernel, I've tried stock and custom/SBC kernels) with a 28/24 AWG or 24/24 AWG micro USB cable. If you still rock the stock HTC charger/cable combo you should be golden.

i don't think its from age of the phone because i just got my phone in december (hw 0004) and i am still using the stock htc charger/cable. so idk its a mystery. nice work finding all that out tho its good to know that i am not the only person who experiences this haha.
I only get the problem when I'm plugged into A/C power, but not when I'm plugged into the D/C car charger... I think it has something to do with how the outlet is grounded. Maybe the touchscreen gets confused by getting grounded through the charging port rather than through your body. I'm basically making this up based on hazy memories from an E&M class I took about 8 years ago, but I think it's close. Anybody with any actual knowledge care to correct me?
Hi Guys
When i connect the charger, the screen becomes substantially less responsive and jerky
has anyone faced this problem ? is it software or hardware so that I can get it replaced
Thanks
hi,
it seems i am encountering that also spefs below for my rom

Hi,
Iam from UAE also, Al Ain.
Where you bought and when?
Is it made in Taiwan or China?
Hey.. I guess that's your first charging.. phone will do well if you don't mess with your phone at the first charge and don't run any applications.. after few charges the phone tends to cool down gradually.. my phone yesterday boomed till 55C and I've encountered the same problem as you regarding screen.. But hold on for few days.. ( hopefully it'll come out good )

and just noticed today my phone hit all time low 34C
I also has this problem, had my phone for two days and got the same error this morning when using it during charging.. there better be a fix for this asap or im returning this and going back to my galaxy nexus

I have seen this many times with my old Sensation. It would do that if you plugged it into a power source with the wrong voltage or amps. I bought a travel charger with a USB plug on it and whenever I connected my Sensation it would go berserk, unresponsive to touch and screen flickering and jerking.

I don't think its necessarily HTC guys. My SGS has done it since day one as well.. its a nightmare browsing/texting when plugged in, it even once set an alarm by itself thinking I was touching the screen when it was just on my bedside table. And spammed my ex with the letter m and sent it to her on Whatsapp haha
Known to happen if you use a faulty or unofficial cheap charger. Tried using a different charger?

I had the same issue with my Motorola Milestone (Droid). Actually the whole casing felt to be slightly statically charged when connected to the charger.
This might be solved by using a different adapter, but it could also be the general electric layout of the room/house, which can cause non-neutral charges on the "ground" side of the charger. Static charges seriously mess with a capacitive screen.
I don't have the problem with my One X in the Netherlands.
Well this is intresting as i have the same problem. i will need to try another charger as i have the same problem.
Well i have tried two HTC chargers, tried 3 diffrent wall sockets and 3 USB cables all show the same problem. Too me it looks like the screen is not grounded. Much like my HTC sensation which need a little bit of alaminuim film to ground correctly.

i have noticed this on desire HD - same problem - with a unofficial cheap charger with USB port. switched back to official HTC charger from that point, all good.
so - mostly the charger is faulty or expects a different voltage level (110v Vs 240v thing)
Well i just tried the wifes blackberry charger, works fine. How come None of the offical chargers work.
Blackberry Charger
Input: 100~240v, 150mA 50-60Hz, 10-20va
Output: 5v 750mA
HTC chargers
Input: 100~240v, 200mA, 50-60hz
Output: 5v 1A
So it appears the HTC chargers output more voltage but surely this sort of thing would be wide spread.
Called HTC tech support they didn't have a clue so my case is being passed to their 2nd line team.
Confirm

Same here, I am, facing this issue with the official htc charger. When using a blackberry charger this issue does not happen
i've had the same issue with other phones.. i fixed using a Nokia Charger with 1.250 mAh which is also superfast in charging the phone
First charge with mine last night and mine suddenly went laggy/unresponsive when I put it on charge. I also ran a quadrant and only got around 3600 when I'd normally get 4900?!
Wasn't sure if this was due to being on very low battery though (despite being on charge)?
I guess the charger mess upp the capacitive touchscreen, either because of electric fields messing with the sensitive field that sense the finger, or bad grounding in the touch-panel.
I had similar problem with my old Legend. If i had it laying on certain materials (cloth etc) the screen became unresponsive.
so this is not a problem with the phone, it just a design "feature" of having a capacitive touch screen.
And yeah, the charger might be the cullprint. Either it has diffrent pin-out in the charger causing bad grounding or something else.
btw, the voltage is 5 volt on all chargers. the current is diffrent though. I dont think the phone charge with more then 200-450mAH considering it takes 4-5 hours to charge fully.
I've not experienced any screen issues while charging with the screen. I've charged it with the official charger, an iphone charger, a touchpad charger and an xperia play charger.
My old desire used to do this if using certain chargers in some sockets at work.
I'll see what mine is like again later when I charge it.
Has anyone had a pop-up saying something along the lines of 'Activity consuming more battery than the charge is giving' ?
Not in those exact words but that's basically what it said. I was watching a flash video with my phone on charge at the time.
Hi guys,
I have a simple MHL connector (ie splits into power & hdmi), to hookup the phone to the big screen. It looks pretty decent, but even when connected to mains, (which it must have otherwise hdmi doesnt work), it loses charge while playing video.
I have tried several players (dice / mx).. all play well, but phone cant keep up with charging & playing at same time..
Am doing some tests to see how bad it draws. When I go into system details, phone shows it is charging via mains.. but it appears it cant put out enough current to charge and play..
Would make a LOT of sense to me that the LCD screen (which draws about 70% of the power) actually switched off during playback via HDMI.
anyone know if this is possible or if they can charge & play a video at the same time..
I seem to be losing about 1% battery every 2 mins.
Can someone else test so i can know if It is just a dodgy MHL I have or if they are all like this. Have tried both SD & HD video.. all quite similar results.
be aware
Use the original charger or one with 5v 1a otherwise your phone won't get enough power for example I know a BlackBerry charger has a lower output

This was with the original charger unfortunately.
This is the same issue why I wrote that One X is unusable for in-car navigation. Basicaly what happens when under load (navigation, playing a movie, playing a game) is that battery gets into "Overheat" state (you can see this in OS Monitor for example) and stops charging.
My test for car navigation shows that power is drained by 25%/hour when plugged in and Sygic is running. Battery is in overheat state most of the time. This happens at about 50 deg.C if I remember correctly - this looks a little low so maybe they'll tweak it a little, but it doesn't solve the underlying problem really, just delays it...
So I blame crappy heatsink construction or overral internal design, this should not happen under any circumstances (and my iPhone is a marvellous example that it can be done - it is able to navigate and charge at the same time, and gets into overheat only when car ventilation is turned off and sun is shining on its' black body - my One X is white and overheats no matter what I do).
This will sooner or later be the reason why people will start returning their phones en masse...
Get 2 amps charger from eBay, see if it helps. I do have one, but only use it when I really need a quick charge in very shor time. Not advised to use as primary charger, but for powering both: phone and MHL at the same time, it might just do the trick.

I tried this, doesn't work. The problem is not insufficient current, it's overheating.

2a won't work as the phone is limited to 1a
If the battery temp is 48 or over it goes in to overheat state green and red notification.
If you are rooted you could disable two cores see if that helps.

This same issue came up in the Nexus forums a while back. Evidently, AC charging requires that the USB data lines to be either shorted or have a resistor across them (forget which one). Since MHL is using those USB data lines for video, they cannot be used to signal AC charging capability, so you're stuck with the max USB draw of 500ma. That's way less than the amount of juice you're using, so you end up running the battery down. You should be able to confirm that by noting the charging mode displayed while using MHL.

anyone experiencing this on their one x
I have attempted to record this and uploaded to youtube. In order to recreate this for yourself, make sure haptic feedback is enabled for your lock screen.
watch video from 0:22 onwards as I was struggling to record and hold the phone at the same time.
you will also have to enable show touches in development options in settings as well as keeping your charger plugged in as this is when it only happens if your charger is plugged in (mains charger the white one that the one x comes with)
here is the link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5paZpvqKck&feature=youtu.be
I have not tested this with usb charging from pc/laptop
It happens when you try to unlock your lockscreen to fast, or pressing screen to fast in different areas.
I always prefer my phones to have show touch enabled so I can see where I'm touching if I'm browsing etc. and this is the only way I discovered this bug
EDIT: it turns out the default white charger that comes in the box of the HTC one x is causing the problem, if I use any other mains charger I am not having these issues. very weird!!
Checked mine and i cannot confirm it. Tho im running cm9.
could be kernel related, did you try with charger plugged in and charging the phone with show touch enabled and lockscreen enabled?
Your video made me dizzy
Don't use your phone plugged in?
BTW, I don't have that issue on my One X, at all.

It's not new, It's been mentioned on here a few times before, I've had this bug since day one (ROM/Kernel makes no difference btw, it's a hardware problem I believe).
Strangely, it only happens when using the wall charger that came with the device, charging via USB doesn't seem to screw up the touchscreen.
Mine also is quite difficult to use sometimes when charging, fortunately the HTC wall charger is by my bed and only used when I am asleep, the others I use in general while charging are older HTC devices charges or BB and the issue doesn't occur IIRC.
Happens on my HTC One X too. Also happend on my LG Optimus 2X. Too bad :-/
yep defo a charger problem
First time I've seen it with official HTC charger, but a known issue with cheap eBay chargers. Looks like HTC's build quality issues have spread to peripherals.
It happens when the rectifier and dc smoothing in the charger isn't very good, and the phone is receiving lots of dc ripple or 'noise'.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpDyMykRH9M&feature=youtube_gdata_player
Edit: Serious afterthought guys, noisy chargers also cause battery heating issues. All those with this issue ditch your HTC charger immediately. You can't afford to damage this battery. Had a cheap Hong Kong charger on my Desire S once. It cooked my battery.
Does anyone have access to a CRO? Perhaps a video of the output of this charger to HTC would be in order.

this is a serious issue,
im now using a nokia charger which is 5V and 1200mv which i used to use on my n97, issue is now gone,
weird that htc are letting this bad quality through
I think I'm having the same issue as what's described here. When my One X is charging via the charger it came with, sometimes it'll get way hotter than it should, and the screen becomes very slow to respond or it has issues detecting touches. It's never happened when charging from my PC, and is briefly resolved by a reboot.
Haven't yet tried a different AC charger though. I honestly thought it had something to do with the heat. I've been turning my phone off at nights when it's charging on AC because it was getting hot.
Hi,
I found a similar issue when my One X is plugged into a Nokia charger that came with N900.
When plugged, the touch screen seems to be defaulting to the left side and any touch on the other side of the screen causes a multi touch (or whatever you wanna call it). The problem does not occur when plugged into the cable that came with the One X (nor USB neither electric grid).
The video can describe better:
watch?v=Smr2-O92EzM
(the forum does not allow me to post links yet, so just copy & paste to youtube - thanks)
The phone is a week old, not rooted yet.
Not looking for help, just thought this might help any investigation.
Cheers
Use the official charger provided with the One X. Crudely put, the charge is "leaking" across the touchscreen.
My wife is unable to use her phone (Samsung GS3), unresponsive to touch, when using my HTC charger. But works fine using her charger.
I am facing this issue too. I was using a third party charger. Decided to abandon it for the sake of the battery.

I get this with every charger I use when I plug it in at work. Its caused by a dirty electrical outlet. Mostly found in old buildings and old outlets. If people actually use the search function in this forum you would know this....

I'm having a problem with my galaxy nexus.
After going over my warranty by a month,I started to suffer from the odd charging bug that seems common in GN especially after the 4.2.2 update.
I started with intermittent charging issues, sometimes it would charge, sometimes it wouldn't.
It then got to the point were it didn't charge.
After googling and searching through the internet I found this to be a common problem.
There seemed to be several fixes, change usb circuit board, bending usb tabs, restarting bootloader, flashing bootloader, new battery etc.
I can safely say I have been through them all.
I can still not charge my phone after; a new usb circuit board, and new battery. I did have a glimmer of hope with a flash of 4.1.2 Google factory image, where it started to start charging but then stopped.
In #*#*info*#*# under battery, it notices a usb or ac feed connected, and my computer registers that it's connected, and can enter fastboot and adb. But never says charging.
The one that concerns me the most, is when the phone was powered off, and I plugged in a charger, I would get a charging partition boot up, showing a battery with lightning bolt on it. I no longer get this.
When I plug it in to my computer,I get a connection tone, but then an item not working properly tone, and under device manager it shows item not working properly, and updating drivers doesn't help.
Usb hot wiring the battery, gets everything working, but it's very dodgy.
Do you have any ideas? Is there a protected partition for charging (that is available on boot)? Could that get corrupted? And can it be reflashed?
Any help is very much appreciated
Thanks

So... I'm not saying issue was similar but it's close. I started having charging issues yadda yadda... plugged in saying charging, sometimes saying nothing. Battery drain was ridiculous. With the phone off, it's show as charging but once turned on after hours it would show half charged. I have three batteries and a bunch of charges all the same issue. I swapped out the USB from a broken GN I had and still the issue persisted. Eventually, I saved my data and swapped out the circuit board for the one on the broken phone and all is well. Every battery I placed in the phone was charged... I get a full charge yadda yadda. I'm not saying it's a similar issue but it's close. You might be able to find a broken GN (screen, no water damage) for cheap on ebay and do what I did... just a suggestion.
Can you charge through the pogo pins? If you can, I'd highly recommend doing the touchstone modification.
I've had issues when I'd enable fast charge on several kernels. If you're using a custom kernel, disable fast charge then connect to power.
