Is there a program to lower charging amp?

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..

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...
Bobby O'S Epic Touch..

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).

Touch screen misbehaving while charging

running cm7.1. Had this problem crop up randomly back on 7.0 or maybe on 7.1rc. Wiped and did a fresh install. It's as though, when plugged in, my touchscreen doesn't exactly understand what I am doing. Every few touches will result in a stray random touch elsewhere on the screen. Anyone got any advice?

For what it's worth, the problem is more pronounced the lower my battery is. Charging above 70 is no problem, while below 30 it becomes practically unusable. I am running SETCPU with defaults.

is this an htc charger or a 3rd party charger?
The reason i ask is because a co worker of mine bought a cheap 3rd party charger from the flee market and when he tried to charge his phone the light would come on but the screen would do what your describing. I didnt believe him so i plugged my phone into it and my screen wouldnt work at all. Let him borrow my charger that was an htc charger and it didnt do it at all.

That'd do it. Coworker destroyed my HTC charger and bought me a Verizon branded chinese-made piece of crap, and now that you mention it this doesnt happen when charging via my car.

Screen doesn't respond to the touch

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!

Just got the same problem. Tried everything listed here to fix it. No luck.
Any other suggestions ?

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.

Could be it. I use a power bar also. Plus I think I'm using a cable from a galaxy nexus now that I think about it.
Maybe I'll try to find an official lg cable.
Thanks again.

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.

i wouldnt worry about it. every once in a while if my phone is on standby it goes up by 1%. also why does yours say 2s on time?

It connects and disconnects. It just started yesterday....
My screen will turn off and on sometimes like I'm connecting it to my charger.
See the green charge bar and top right battery shows its plugged in.

More and more people are seeing this kind of problems. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21840063#post21840063
It's a faulty USB connector on the phone, you should have it serviced, or change it yourself.
I bought this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=150713366355 and it fixed it.

Oh no, same problems with my phone. How difficult is it to change it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium

Not that hard. It's the easiest board to change on the phone. Look at some disassembly videos on youtube.
I did get bad GSM reception after changing the board though, but I just used a scissor to cut out the antenna part of the old board and used that instead. Could be that the board was a CDMA one. Anyway, now the phone is good as new!

Screen sensitivity greatly lowered when on charge?

Hey guys, has anyone else had this strange problem that when on charge, the screen definitely becomes less responive, harder to type on, and the main screen becomes laggy and must be swiped edge to edge on the screen to scroll apps. This can't just be me D:
Running latest 1.29.401.11 unrooted and on stock Rom.

Try a different charger.

I am using the official HTC charger, and same thing happens when I used other people's different chargers, but only started happening with the latest update

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

Does it do the same when charging via your USB port on your pc?

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.

Me 2,updated to 1.29.can't pull up to top,when I want remove the shortcut app from main page.

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.
Has anyone else experienced anything like this?

Yes I have noticed this to!

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.
