i really must ask, i have had this problem forever and need to know if anyone else has it. When my phone is plugged in charging the keyboard always messes up and hits random keys. anyone know how to fix it or what is causing it. had this phone for a year now, and seen cyanogen 7.0.3 i am about to kill it.
I personally have not seen this problem. I am running the CM 7 nightlies, and i am having a good experience. The keys are fine for me, but i will be sure to keep on the lookout for that bug...
I'm guessing you have already tried to re-flash.
Also, do you have a wifi problem on CM7? I've had the worst luck because in my old Synergy Rom, i could get wifi in my room perfectly, but now with CM7, I barely get any reception if not any at all.
I've had this issue, but pretty much on any ROM. Whenever my phone is charging, it isn't very responsive to any touch input. Once unplugged, works fine.
Its a hardware issue, not software
I've seen some Incs that will have unresponsive / unpredictable touch-screens when plugged in to cheap chargers. In the cases that I've seen, they never misbehave on an OEM charger: only on third-party budget ones. As noted by br125, it has always been a hardware issue in my experience.
You can try different chargers to see if it makes a difference.
I did on the older versions of CM but not sense CM7
We had this same problem on the old D1's, the solution was to use the OEM charger it originally came with.
Hope this helps
I'm using the OEM charger and have this issue on MIUI/incredikernel. Laggy and unresponsive touch input while charging.
I noticed this issue too, really odd and annoying. I've been running MIUI for a little over a week and have noticed the problem is completely gone and normal typing is actually more responsive. Always been a CM7 fanboy but I'm quite impressed with miui....

I have an OEM charger and a third-party charger as well and i have experienced the problem randomly on both. I seem to notice the problem more when i charge it while connected to my laptop
I have the same problem. I've noticed that the trackball work perfectly and in fact have temporarily got around this problem ( as long as I do not have to type in something) in this manner.
The problem has something to do with being grounded.

I found a kernel in ATT Note that removes ghost touches, so that might be just the thing that slows it down.
Mine gets slow too..I'm got beastmod5 with darkside kernel ..
It lags crazy when using adownloader

What was the point of this thread?
And yes I am aware of the issue u speak of being as it is widely known that the phone is less responsive to touch while on the charger.
I found using crappy chargers will really show this issue.
With one the screen is unusable.
It sounds like it converts over to mains power to allow the batter to charge, however the battery is sucking the majority of the power from the line so there is not enough to fully power the unit...

That the developers can contact him, or they can just take off the piece oof code, and there, we have good working touchscreen, it will also be ffaster and more responsive always.
Alot of phones do this my g2x did this also

Because the kernel makers add the water proof touchscreen optimizer, something like that, that makes it able to use while water is in your screen. But if you disable it, it would be a lot faster.
these strange issues are usually caused by cheapo chargers
it doesn't do this when you charge via a computer USB or wall using the original stuff
a decent build quality of china made wall / USB chargers will also work fine.
it all comes down to the quality of the power regulator in the charger

Well, it happens to me in all ports, in all USB cables.
Happens to my GS2 on *any* custom ROM with the stock charging pieces. The stock firmware never has touch-lag when charging - ever. YMMV.
This is wht I'm trying to say
For those a bit confused as to what 'Ghost thouch' is, and why it is removed:
Samsung added a bit of code to the touchscreen driver on the non-intl version of the note to detect 'ghost' touch input events, similar to the raindrop detection on the original Motorola Atrix (and others). While a nice idea on paper, this had un-intended consequences when trying to perform multi-touch input that continues longer than around 5 seconds; such as playing some games. It is now disabled in this kernel.
Edit: There also seems to be a pleasant side effect that I hadn't noticed... keyboard input is improved. Makes sense I suppose, since now there isn't this constant check for false touches slowing things down. Let me know if you see this on your device.

I have this issue too no matter which rom is being used or which charger im using. If there is a way for me to disable that "water drop" thing im sure many would take kindly to that.
Its a samsung thing. I've had several samsung phones and the touch screens always goes wacky while charging
I'm almost certain that I am not the only one who has had this problem, but I would really like to know if anyone is working on it.
When charging my HOX, I notice a considerable drop in all aspects of the touch screen. I am currently running IceColdJelly, and have noticed it significantly when typing out an SMS. I would hit one letter on the keyboard and the tactile feedback will go nuts and i would have ended up typing out a bunch of Q's with a large amount of spaces.
More to the point though. Has anyone looked into why this happens? and if there is a fix? It is really making me despise my HOX, which frustrates me because it is such a great phone when not charging.
It's not a good idea to use the phone whilst charging. I've heard of heating issues and someone electrocuted answering the phone. I stopped making calls on my xe earlier because of bursts of sharp pain on the ear whilst it was charging.
I’m not quite sure the reason for it, but I too have experienced it from time to time with different phones, and I have also seen few others complaining about it as well. Are you using the supplied HTC charger and USB cable ?
Does it happen with all chargers (different brands etc) and USB?
Edit: somehow I missed the post above. Where is the delete post button?
I've noticed this as well. I'm not sure if it's for the same reason but when I had my old Sensation it was pretty severe and the solution was to change the scheduler (?) to 'on demand', if you have an option that allows it. This fixed the problem completely. It was something to do with having 'interactive' selected.
However, I'm not sure whether the cause would be the same thing with a stock rom with stock kernel.
Hey All
Today I picked up an HTC One M8.
Have set it up and only had it up and running for a few hours.
I plugged it in to charge using the charger that came with it and noticed that the screen would become erratic. Phantom touches would register making it very hard to use. Have tried it in different sockets but the issue remains.
I have tried a spare charger that I have in the house and the issue is not present.I know the HTC charger is a little different in that it supports some kind of quick charger, so its not really a like for like swap I guess.
Is there a chance that the included charger is faulty? Or could the phone be at fault?
I really don't want to have to return it but will it it looks like its the phone that has an issue.
Thanks
Well, at this point its hard to guess from here. Can you upload some snaps/videos ? It would be helpful for anyone who visits the thread. It doesn't take much time either. :good:
Is it a brand new phone? if not I think the digitizer is going bad.

Yeah it's brand new. Phone is fine off charge and when using other charges. It's just the stock charger tat seems to cause issues.

Do you have a case on your phone? I have a UAG case and the charger sometimes doesn't fully click leading to that behaviour. Without the case there is no problem using the phone while charging.
Maybe the stock charger is faulty. Probably the wires has lost continuity.
I have the same issue with a unofficial charger (2.0A).
No issue with original charger (1.5A)
You are not alone
I also have a HTC One M8 with the same problem!
I have to disconnect the USB cable so that I can use the phone correctly without 'phantom touches' activating things I didn't want.
A classic example is pressing the back button will more often than not take me to google now. It's not supposed to do that. It only ever does this when charging.
Also when using any app the phantom touches will activate things I didn't want it to. Some apps will indicate which button you clicked and this is the perfect way to see this problem in action, because buttons will be clicking that you didn't even touch.
It's almost like the touch screen becomes ridiculously sensitive and even just a touch of breeze from a fan can activate a phantom touch.
My phone has done this since brand new. I've had the phone for around 3 months now. There was a software update since I had the phone and it didn't fix the problem.
It does this for me with the stock USB cable, samsung USB cable, generic USB cable, charging from AC/PC/Car it doesn't matter.
It even has the problem when the battery is at 100% with the cable connected.
The only way to accurately use the phone is to unplug the cable!

Erratic Touch on Verizon HTC One M8
This has been driving me mad.
Got Verizon Variant Red HTC One M8 near the beginning of August.
I bought a spigen clear case, a longer usb cable, and a 2AMP charger to use at work. I was chewing through the battery while playing Clash of Clans on it at work.
I pretty much always turn on visual feedback for touch on my smartphone now and noticed sometimes while playing Clash I would see multiple touches go in a horizontal line across my screen (if you do not know you play clash of clans in a horizontal position so technically the lines would run vertically down the phone)
I also have a tempered glass screen on my phone so I figured it was some kind of freak nuance with the case pushing the glass or something.
Bought a UAG Case for my phone, few days later I notice the same behavior, bought cases have a small "lip" to protect the screen if you drop the phone face down, I again figured this must be the culprit and bought a new case.
Barely there Clear case by casemate, I have had the case for 3 days and today is my first day at work since, immediately upon connecting my charger I noticed the erratic touch behavior.
At this point I realized it was never the case, it has to be something with charging in general or the specific charger I am using.
Anyone got any clue what is actually causing this issue?

Hi guys, any news?
I'm experiencing the same issue and this is driving me mad.
Experiencing this with different chargers. My cover is a Spigen Ultra Hybrid Metal Slate...if I put it off, theres no problem while charging
Greetings from Switzerland
Hi guys,
I have faced the issue as well. In my case, if I charge the phone using the dot view case then the touchscreen behaves wrongly. However, if I charge the phone with no case at all it works fine.
Anyway after I flashed the latest firmware (.401.6) the problem is gone. What firmware do you have?
Cheers.
Hi Guys,
For anyone interested, I have just noticed that it happened depending on the charger also.
Cheers.
I have the same problem
Using htc one m8 developer edition 4.4.2. This issue comes with every charger. With or without case or screen protection.
Yep, I've noticed this issue as well. Any solution?

If it's brand new, take it back for a replacement. The sooner the better because the longer you wait, the more they may think it is user caused.
I just got my phone replaced due to bad mic. I had a brand new one on release day and now I got a refurb both suffered the same issues. It's not always that it does it but it certainly pisses you off. Same symptoms as the op describes, I have yet to find a permanent solution.
This is so super irritating. I feel you. I just found out though that it occurs when I have my case on.. So whenever i use the phone when I'm charging I have to pull the case off. It really doesn't make any sense lol but this is my workaround for this bug.
I also have the same problem
It seems to occur when the phone is close to full charge. Every app goes crazy. When I unplug the charger it returns to normal.

I have the same issue with mine; I found a website which said to do the following:
Using two fingers swipe down on the status bar then touch the gear icon > Display & Gestures > G-Sensor calibration
Place your phone on a flat surface then touch Calibrate.
After the calibration process has finished tap Ok.
You should also calibrate the finger touch on your screen to deal with the keyboard issue.
Open “Settings” and go to “Language and Keyboard”
Tap “HTC Sense Input”
Tap “Advanced”
Tap “Calibration tool” (Calibrate your screen for a better touch experience)
Now you are asked to type the given sentence
One done, Calibration Complete message appears
Hit “Reset Calibration” to reset screen to factory default

It's still present, but it hasn't been as bad - I turned on the visual feedback in the developers settings, and you can watch the cursor fly all about the screen like it's possessed!
Same issue here, on the latest software. This is my second m8 with the same issues.
The touch feels really hard while charging and the scrolling responsiveness also suffers considerably.
Anyone else facing such problem? I also feel a strange vibrating sensation at the back of the phone while charging.
This problem continues even after unplugging the charger and only a reboot fixes it.
I always use stock charger shipped with the phone and I have tested it on multiple power boards at different locations in my city. Everywhere I am facing the same problem.

I think the Vibration while charging is quite normal for all Honor 8 Pro users, even me too have. But don't know about touch issue, because i never had such problems.

That vibration sometimes happens while charging if your body is in contact with earth somehow. I guess because of lack of earthing or such.
Regarding the touch issues, no issues here.

Yes! I have that issue... if i plug my phone with bundled charger and its kept on flat table surface, so without lifting my phone in my hand i can't use that easily. The touch response is very poor on that condition but when i lift my phone in my hand then its working normal, even i'm facing the same issue with connecting my phone with PC though.

Has anyone used Android Auto with this phone? I've been using Android Auto for a few months, first on an 8.1 ROM (FireHound) and now on a 9.0 ROM (PixelDust). It has always been pretty sluggish for me, taking a while to load up on my car's display, the map view has a very low framerate, buttons are not very responsive, Google Assistant takes a 5-10 seconds to respond and half the time answers with "This internet connection isn't reliable at the moment" even though I have full bars, etc. While using AA, my phone itself also becomes way more sluggish.
I chalked this all up to my phone just not being powerful enough to run AA efficiently. But yesterday I installed a 9.0 ROM on my girlfriend's Moto G5 Plus (she was previously on 7.0 so no AA), and AA runs super smooth for her - no sluggishness at all, the interface and map are both very fluid, Google Assistant responds right away with no weird errors, and her phone remains completely usable while AA is connected! We have similar setups on our phones, and I've tried tried disabling apps that I think might be causing a slowdown (Tasker, Greenify), but nothing seems to help. I've also tried different kernels and multiple USB cables. Does anyone have suggestions?
I just got my first car with Android Auto and chalked it up to that's just how it is. Good to know it's not me and that it is supposed to be faster. I'd like to see some insight as well.
My Android auto has always worked flawlessly EXCEPT when I had a poor cable.
When I was using the bad cable, everything still worked (even file transfers). But Android auto was choppy, slow to respond to touches, etc. It actually happened to two cables i bought new and one I had owned for a while. I had chalked it up to my phone type c port going bad until I bought a thick Belkin type c to type a. Everything was worked flawlessly since, on every rom.

Hmm I've tried 3 different cables, including the one that came with the phone, and though some connect better than others none provide a smooth experience. Could you provide a link to the Belkin cable you're using?

This exact cable. My oem cable worked for a little while before it would randomly freeze (phone and Android auto), that's when I started my journey to get it working smooth, lol.

Hmm I bought the cable and have used it for about a week now. The first 2 times it worked great, both the car head unit and the phone were responsive. Since then it's acted just like the other cables I've used. I wonder if it could be a physical defect with my phone's USB port or something
