I am absolutely sick of the phone being pretty much unuseable when charging through an ac outlet. I did some searching and the consensus seems to be its either from the charger itself or the ui.
I'm currently using battery widget pro and I'm not sure if there's a way to lower the charging ma to something lower to make the phone still useable while still charging it. Or if there are such programs out there?
I think charging through a laptop usb charges at a lower ma

I use my girlfriend's Blackberry Curve charger and it's perfect. It does take longer to charge but I can use the phone like normal. I'm guessing it's because the Blackberry has such a small battery that it demands much less power.

Yeah.. I'm just looking for a way to still use my phone while at work and near my bed not near my computer. But, I just won an auction like this one..
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-MICRO-W...210902?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4cfb27e796
Hopefully it'll be slow charging since I only paid $0.60 shipped for it lol. Thanks for the input everyone.
My phone is competely usable while charging. I don't understand the problem you are having.
Is it because it gets hot? I have it plugged in near my bed all the time and before bed I'll load up a little Angry Birds and sometimes I'll check my email when I wake up and it's perfectly usable plugged in. Gets a little warm when gaming though I guess.
No problems here using with charger...

Any other charger works perfect. I just use one of my 3 Epic chargers

A lot of people report the touch screen bugging out when connected to the factory Samsung charger. I can't even unlock my phone using the stock charger. People speculate that it uses such a high amperage that it interferes with the touch screen somehow. When I use my old HTC charger I have a 50/50 chance of using the touchscreen for a few minutes before it acts up,but it eventually does act up. The Blackberry Curve 3G charger has been the only one that works perfectly for me.

This problem is very hit and miss for all touchscreen phones. Well capacitive touchscreen phones at least. It's normally not the charger - it's your ground. In case anyone doesn't understand how capacitive screens work I suggest using Google to read up.
The grounding can work two ways.
1: The electrical source is not grounded very well. This can cause the screen to register 1 touch as multiple inputs in multiple areas. Picture it as a mini electrical storm on your screen.
2: The user is grounded. Go ahead, test it. If you're grounded how do you expect the electrons to transfer from you to the screen? In this case the screen will fail to register input.
Try moving when the screen is going crazy, or not working. Go to a different spot or plug it in to a different outlet. If none of this works, then you have a busted charger (or where you are is wired poorly - get that checked).
Since I thought my phone, I've noticed an annoying problem. When my phone is charging in the screen is locked, I go to unlock the phone and the touch screen seems to have a problem registering my touch for the pattern password.
I would unplug it for a second to draw the unlock pattern, unlock the phone, and then proceed about while the phone is plugged back in. Then out of nowhere, it'll do the same thing.
Anyone experiencing this?

There is another thread here somewhere that talks about the issues while being plugged in. I think this was one that was mentioned.

i am not getting that problem, but if you call tmobile im sure they will switch the phone.
I've had this problem - but only when I used a different charger from the one included (even though it's a Samsung charger). Are you using the cable included with the phone?
Yea it has happened on mine but only if it was laying down when i try to unlock it. once i pick it up it was fine

This is a known issue with all variants of the Galaxy S2.
The Galaxy S2 is very sensitive to input voltage, and if it doesn't like what it's getting, the touch screen calibration gets a little funky.
Voltage-regulated chargers (ones that are big and blocky or have a bulb on the wire) tend to work well.
Don't bother exchanging it over this, it won't change anything. You just need a better charger.
Yes, I'm using the same charger came with the phone. I guess we will just settle this issue with the fact that it just gets a little funky When plugged in.

better charger yes
phone being sensitive not really
all Properly build chargers will not cause that problem
i purchase cheap 2A charger from Deal Extreme, but those are build good, not like some of the crappo accessories from ebay
BlackBerry chargers works good too
I have the same problem.
As many of you guys said, a good charger is needed for a stable voltage input.
I have no problems charging from the original charger and my desktop computer.
However the problem shows when I am using my laptop (7 year old) usb.
So a good charger is recommended.
I can confirm this issue, but what i want to know is, why does this happen when the phone is lying flat on a surface while charging and goes away the moment you pick it up? If it was a faulty or imprecise charger issue then the problem should persist?
My guess is it has to do with the EM shielding around the charging module, and that it doesnt do enough to shield the totally normal residual interference from interfering with the touch screen digitizer. When we pick it up, our hand acts as an interference dampener and minimizes the issue while it is charging, to almost negligible amounts. But its just a guess. The chargers might also be generating greater than average interference as well. But just charger alone cannot explain why pickibg up minimizes the problem.
The charger doesn't cause any erratic behavior on my Galaxy Nexus like it does on this phone... So what is the explanation behind that?

What's unfortunate is that the Samsung charger that came with the device causes the touchscreen issues.
Fortunately, I have an HTC charger lying around that works, no problems.
I have seen this happen with the HD2, Evo 4g, galaxy s4g & Sensation. Its a problem with chargers and the voltage. It happens with those chargers from walmart. Its not just the GS2 phones.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Add the Tmo HD7 to the list.... it happens all touchphones on which i believe has grounds surrounding the phone, touching the touch screen stabilizer or whatever you'd like to call it. It's the ground of the charger, nothing to do with charger instability. Take your laptop's charger, plug it into a wall with no 3rd ground (a laptop that has the 3rd prong) and take that same plug, and plug it into a plug with 3 prongs, you'll notice it has that static-like feeling that makes ur fingers tingle (when you touch a metal part of your laptop). It's the same issue with our phones
I hope this helps someone
Just change charger i have noticed that since i work in a cellphone company .... but i change to a different charger and it stopped doing that....
I used another charger but the problem still exist
Well, it seem every phone I use in last 6 month getting this disease when you swipe or touch on screen and nothing happens, or when you press one key on keyboard and it inputs completely different character from opposite side of the screen...
Just now I had the same exact crap going on on Nitro!
I pressed and hold on back button on the gb keyboard and it was acting like I'm pressing random keys at 50 keys per second!
But before that I had trouble unlock the phone, since the slide off motion didn't register at all, the slider would move a few pixels and go back.
The weird fact is the most noticeable this occur when phone is plugged in and charging, unplug it and problem usually goes away or at least become manageable.
What the hell I'm doing to these phones that causing this? Actually this is the first phone where I f.k with the system files, all others I either used CWM or market, nothing else.
I have not had any touch screen issues with this phone other than its just a hair less sensitive compared to my captivate.
[email protected], are you a ghost? I have heard that sometimes phones will act strangely during use if you are a ghost. Something to do with spiritual electromagnitism. This would also explain why you are having compass issues!
Okay, so back to being serious. I've had the EXACT same issues you speak of when my phones (yes, this has happened to other phones too) were connected to 'dirty' power.
What I mean by 'dirty' is either a power supply that was very low quality or using a USB cable that the phone didn't like. Just recently my Nitro was acting erratically while I have it plugged into my computer. It shouldn't have been a problem because I was using a high quality, well shielded Blackberry branded cable (worked perfectly fine with my Nexus One), but as soon as I used the usb cable that came with the Nitro then everything worked correctly again.
Hope this helps!
i had that promblem today ... but nothing i did fixed it so i was able to pull the battery and do a dreded hard reset and its working as good as gold now

I've found what Namuna said to be true. Also, I experienced this issue with my phone plugged into the power strip on the nightstand. Apparently there is a grounding issue in that power strip.

I haven't had a complete loss of touch responsiveness, but I have experienced the erratic behavior; but only when plugged in and only while charging in AC mode. I've noticed this a lot more since I dropped my phone with the charging cable attached... I can be in USB mode and the slightest touch will knock it off charge yet I have no touchscreen problems. Once, every now and then, I am lucky enough to get into fast charging AC mode; which is much more stable as far as touching and using while charging... but the screen is almost unusable due to the erratic touches. I turned on "show touches" in developer options and while in AC mode, it shows multiple touches in a horizontal line relative to where my finger is. It even affects my soft keys.
Happens with every charger I've tried; my original charger, both HTC chargers I have, and a charger I found a few weeks ago. I've experienced the problem in my house, multiple hotels, and a few other places; both with and without a power bar. Pretty much, what I'm saying, I'm sure I've been connected to a good grounded source of power, yet I still experienced those problems.
Out of curiosity... have any of you either replaced or had your digitizer replaced? I've replaced mine twice, and my problems began shortly after cracking the screen the 2nd time.
Well i tried the charger that came with my optimus g (using a power bar ) and it seems to work fine now.
One more thing i did was try it without my memory card for a bit. I don't know if that had anything to do with it also.
Anyways so far so good.

Its your charger, turn on show touches in developer options and see where it is registering your finger when on charge, then try again when charging from your computer.
Me too experienced this. Are you on stock or custom rom?
I am on custom rom! Now in charmeleon i dont have any issue.
I'm experiencing this on my HOX as well. The unlock ring becomes nigh on impossible to drag to the center to unlock & get to the home screen. Completely stock & on 1.29.401.11
I also have this problem too, using stock unbranded phone on latest software. When plugged in with official charger its very difficult to unlock and slows screen response considerably.

this has been mentioned before, i get this issue sometimes, some people say its charger, but it can't be, seeing as both my chargers do this, and my desire hd doesn't do that on either charger, so by process of elimination it must be the phone at fault, seeing as it only happens when on charge, and not always on charge, i suspect a software bug somewhere
report it to htc though, then we might get a fix sometime.. i already have btw

I wouldn't necessarily say that. My friend has a charger that messes up my Infuse's touch screen, but it has no issue on his phone. Certain phones can act weird with certain chargers. I've never really understood exactly what the issue is, but the HOX seems to be pretty picky. What worries me is the fact that it seems like there are a number of people with issues with the stock charger. It makes me wonder if the issue is a build issue with the phone, perhaps in the connector, that's making it picky or causing the problem all together. We should probably start gathering information about phones that have trouble with certain chargers and what version of the phone they are and see if there is a common trend.

Sometimes after i do manage to unlock the screen while on charge, the phone will immediately open the 'Phone' app. I thought it may just be because I dragged the ring too close to the 'phone' quick launch icon but definitely not the case.

I had this too from day one and thought I had a faulty handset. I noticed somebody mention the charger and at the time I was using my (not too old) Sensation XE charger. I switched to the charger supplied with my HOX and haven't had the problem since. Still seems strange why this occurred because using the cable from the Sensation to connect to my PC it was never unresponsive, only when it was plugged into the wall socket.

The reason you don't see the problem when connected to your pc is because most computers have good quality,regulated supplies to provide the 5V on their USB ports. The reason some wall chargers, even the official One X type in cases, are affected is because they are switch mode power supplies which convert 110/230V AC to 5V DC using high frequency pulses, if those aren't filtered properly they interfere with the touch screen. That's why I suggested testing by charging over USB earlier.

brilliant point, it so happens that im currently living in an old house, with a crappy power supply, even my speakers were affected before. i don't have this problem whilst charging the phone at work (albeit with a different charger)
I think ill try plugging into different power ports around the house etc and experiment a bit... never thought it could be the house, although again the dhd isn't affected, so something must still be missing/not right on the one x for it to display this symptom.
Ok so my sister's epic is overheating most of times (This is why I stick with HTC instead). Even when you connect the charger and its not being used. Bought it from a seller on craigs and the phone is in immaculate condition just it seems that the Epics are known for having that overheating problem. Wanted to know if rooting would fix this issue or should I just take it straight to Sprint(even though the morons that work there, reset the phone and reinstall the stock software) And rooting would only void the warranty. Oh and the battery dies pretty fast. And the other issue is the Wi-Fi and 4G switches turn on by themselves? Sound normal to yall?

What does your sister typically use it for? I've been using mine as a primary source of internet for the last 2 years and it's been known to overheat while downloading for long periods of time (which is almost always). I download roughly ~80-120gb a month. I've never really worried about it overheating though because it just seems to sort itself out and when I check it a few hours later, it's warm/cold.
If the battery is dying a lot though, you might as well take it in to Sprint and have them run diagnostics on it just to make sure there's nothing physically wrong with it before you root it and void the warranty. Maybe you can get a free battery or something out of it just in case.
To get the 4g and wifi to stay off, disable the Sprint Connections Optimizer in Settings>wireless and Networks.
Every phone I've ever had gets hot on the charger, so please give us more details.
What is fast battery drain? Again, usage details needed.

Yes this is off topic, blah, blah, blah, but do you find that your battery percentage DROPS while plugged into the car charger? In both the vehicles I have regular access to this occurs. It doesn't matter whether or it it is going through a 140 watt inverter and a 750 or 1000 Ma charger or a 1000 mA USB port on my Bluetooth FM transmitter. It. Just. Drops. I can only get it to charge with the screen off and the phone in deep sleep. It's been driving me ****ing crazy ever since I got this refurb about a year ago and I think it even happened with my original Epic. I've just resigned myself to carrying 3 batteries with my every day 5 batteries for long trips. I don't get it. It's quite depressing though, plus my Epic will rape itself if I have navigation and TuneIn on. It might only last 10 minutes before freezing and rebooting at 120°. God forbid I add 4G to the mix. Am I the only one this happens to? I'm still pissed just thinking about it. Am I the ONLY one this happens to?

never happened to me it discharges sometimes but i turn off 3g and itll cool down, sure it gets hot, are you using SAMSUNG car chargers? they can help. and is your battery dead or eol? a dead battery can ruin chargers.
Yeah I will take it to Sprint sometime this week for sure. My sister uses the phone for simple web surfing and email checks. But mostly for call/texts. I think the issue is the battery most likely since it takes a lifetime for it to charge completely. My Evo 3D charges full in around 45 mins or less even when running at around 10% battery. And it never gets hot when connected to the charger. The other issue is the phone automatically turning the Wi-Fi or 4G switches by itself. Ive turned it off once or twice and 2 mins later its turn on by itself. Phone has been acting nuts. I've owned 3 Epic touches and 1 4G and they overheated when in use but never when connected to the charger. All my babies are rooted btw.
Well man I've owned 4 Galaxy phones all together and they all get horny hot from using them for simple stuff like talking on the phone and web surfing. That's why I'm sticking with HTC. Never have I had my Evo 3D get super hot with simple use unless I'm watching a movie or using the Wi-Fi tether. Maybe its the Samsung phones they sell in America lol we get the cheap crap.

Overheating has nothing to do with Epic or any other model. It just means she has so many things running at the same time. My friend has an HTC with the same problem.

Actually that's very normal if your plugged in while in the car... especially if its hot out... and if your streaming music or using navigation its even more likely.... these phones are like mini laptops... guess what, my laptop gets hot also...

My NS4G stays around 80*F its hotter than my Epic but I guess its normal for that even that its the same CPU.
But my NS4G doesn't get around 100*F while charging in my car though.
My Epic when staying asleep at my house it gets down to 55*F to 60*F. NS4G gets down to 77.

I don't make it a habit of checking my phones temp but I'm sure mines pretty low while sleeping also.. just sayin.. but when you're in a car, especially one that's been sitting in the sun all day, it is perfectly normal for your phone to get a little warm while its in the car also... charging or not for that matter. And then if you dnt have a working a/c... wow don't even get me started there.... lol but really all kidding aside, its normal for these phones to get 100 and even a little over that.. it all depends on how much is going on in the bacground while you are plugged in.... that said, everybody knows that every phone is different
