Does anyone else experience this?
The touch screen is not responsive when charging. It becomes very inaccurate. As soon as I unplug it, all is well in the world.
search before posting sir, been discussed a million times.
The samsung power brick effs with the screen. Use a different charger. Or there is a partial fix in this thread

Snapa55 there have been too many threads with the same exact topic. Do you know what the search button is and does? If your new you probably may not. At the beginning of this thread there is a post by three mod staying rules of XDA and giving you use full tips such as learning to search for thing s so you don't start the 4th thread about the same thing that had been answered 15x

Personally I don't know what the solution is to this. But one thing I've found a number of times elsewhere and on XDA-developers is that if someone starts a thread that breaks online etiquette by either:
1) Not searching before hand
2) starting a thread that has already been started
3) posted in the wrong forum.
Moderators jump on it with posts about why the thread was bad. Maybe this is not an issue with the last point but sometimes you get people responding with "use the search". Problem with that is, I do use search, and when I do I get lots of threads telling me to use the search! Its actually quite difficult to know what to search for some times to even if people provided terms to search for that would help.
I don't have any present examples of this behaviour (apart from the third, which was annoying but there were genuine answers after the first page of arguments) so maybe xda-developers is better then most sites, but I thought I'd raise this issue... if it hasn't been raised already...
A quick point in addition to Mike's wonderful comments.
Most of the time I've seen people been told (and yes I do tell people too ) to use the search is when the answer is either well known to the current user base or it's easily available in the stickies or has been answered a 100 times before.
When you first come to xda the forums seem very daunting (there are still some forums I get lost / confused in i.e. the Dream) but taking your time to read throgh the stickies and wiki pages can get you setup.
Dave
i tend to read more than id like to anyay due to no social life
so i dont really tend to search
in fact ill read forums for devices i have no imntemtion of buying just out of curiosity
I USE the search function! Promise. I recall my first time here. It took me 3 different visits just to figure what phone I purchased!!
Those that have used this forum for years don't understand the sheer volume of information that is presented here. It is daunting, to say the least.
In all actuality we understand the amount of info here. Since the Kaiser the amount of phones and users on this board has grown exponentially. There are 4 regular Touch phones, the Touch Pro, Touch Hd, Dream, Diamond and however many smartphones that have hit the market in 2 years and all are supported here. The fact this place isn't a chaotic mess is due to Flar, the mods, the Wikis and THE SEARCH ENGINE. Had to do it.
Peace.
About a week ago, I noticed my EVO was rapidly discharging its battey. In an attempt to find the culprit, I bought the SystemPanel App from the market and enabled CPU usage tracking. My phone returned to normal after a restart, so i just let the tracking keep running. Today, I again noticed my battery draining extremely fast when I got into work. I went into SystemPanel, and looked at the usage...
At whopping 42% of my CPU usage was allocated to the android "suspend" system app. It's global average for the past week was only 1.2% before this morning. Obviously, this app is doing something in the background and killing my battery. Does anyone here have any idea what may be going on?

You Could have said it a little nicer.. but you came off as a **** in all BOLD text..
Do not flame me.. I will ignore you. As this is a response to your ****'ness.. you asked for it..
I know he posted this in the wrong section, We get it. Get over it and to ALL those that keep making USELESS "WRONGE SECTION" posts, your no better then the OP..
WHoch Q&A section? Can a MOD move this there for me?
Yes.. Q&A would be Best.. and yes.. a mod will have to move it..
as you've noticed.. people are getting a little testy to Q posts being in the development forum..
What rom are you using? (assuming you are rooted) have you tried wiping and reflashing fresh?
from the information given i doubt there is a way to tell exactly why your system suspend is having this issue. If it happens after full/wipe/reflash, or if you are on a certain rom it may give us a little more to go by.
As for the guy flaming the person who posted that it was in the wrong section under your logic arent you just as bad as them for your post? and arent i just as bad for pointing out your post? The fact is if people ignore the fact that questions are posted int he wrong section then development will quickly be over run. Even as is with anyone who has been on the forum for a few days knowing that if you post a question in development you will likely be flamed and ridiculed there are still TONS of people that do it anyway. There is a big stickiy on top of the dev forum that says this isnt a questions and answer forum. so i dont feel bad if people are mean to them for not reading and ignoring forum rules. its how they learn for the future. Though i agree it does sometime get out of hand.
I'm using the official 2.2 rom from Sprint that I got OTA.
I have been a member since March 2011 sometime - can't remember the exact date. I bought an Optimus P500 to replace my ageing Palm Treo 680. As soon as I started using the phone I was sucked into the who gamut of ROMs and improving the performance of the stock OS. Obviously, it was through the Development Forums. I am likely one of the older members using these forums - 65 years. I have now been going through the forums for things of my interest for over 2 months on a daily basis. Some of the practices and behaviour in the development forums are causes for concern as they reduce the productivity of the people who work on the developments. I am listing some and hope that the administrators of XDA will take some steps which can help in rectifying the situation.
1. People are unwilling to spend even 2 mins to search for what has been answered a hundred times - exaggeration perhaps but definitely tens of times.
2. People are unwilling, or to be less charitable unable, to read anything carefully and are just rushing to implement something new.
3. They will ask a question even when the answer is in plain words ad nauseum.
4. They will try things which are dangerous without learning enough and then flood the forums in several threads about how they have run into a problem and can someone help them. I have run into some problems but have been able to search the forums for solutions and it did not take more than 10-15 mins of time. In the bargain I learnt a lot more.
5. People are writing merely to express their satisfaction at something happening or about to happen or to praise a developer. There is a system of expressing your thanks/satisfaction. Why not use that instead of saying two words which add nothing to the development forum?
6. It is easy to identify those who are at fault and are reducing the effectiveness of the people on the development forums. Why not have a series of measures setup to gradually weed them out and let them vent their sentiments on the General Section?
7. The criteria of having someone post 10 times to the General or Q & A sections getting eligible to post in the Development Forums needs review. In one of the forums on automobiles which I use they are much more strict in enforcing posting etiquette and in weeding out totally useless members who are only looking to see their own comments on the web. I am sure we are ingenious enough to work out a more effective criteria/system.
I am not against contribution to development forums but i am against wasting time and space by writing 'Aha what fun we are going to get an update tomorrow'!
Cliff notes?
have ppl interested in the topics posted read the threads - at least the highlights. In fact the answer to the question how the forum usage and user experience could be improved might be an option that allows readers to look at a summary of the thread first showing the most helpful / informative responses... of course someone by some means needs to select the topics which will be added to the summaries.
On certain threads questions are repeated cause there are over 1000 pages of responses so i'd much rather repeat a question than spend countless hours looking through pages
I agree that people need to do some research instead of asking questions that have been answered a bunch of times before.
I'm not on the same page when it comes to people posting gratitude or excitement. Yes there is a thanks button, but sometimes you want to go the extra mile and tell them how you feel. After all, this is a community. We aren't robots and humans like to interact with each other. It's easy to skim past these types of post because it's always obvious what they are about. It also adds more posts to the threads and moves them to the top and there is nothing wrong with that.
I like the thanks button as well, because it will be obvious to people who see your name that you are helpful and someone that will probably help them with questions they might have and not be a total **** if they get a PM.

I agree completely. 1000, hey even 100 pages in a thread can be daunting! That's why there is a search tool (and a very good one at that).
Example: I just installed a new ROM on my Incredible S. The thread for the ROM contains 50 pages. In real life, I'd sit there and read it. That's just me. Put aside half an hour, get to know the issues people are having, the issues that have been covered, and what's still in progress. Your chances of running into issues during the install are quite often significantly lessened by reading the whole thread through. There are also some awesome hidden gems in amongst some of the posts which are worth looking for (extra themes, battery indicators, patched programs and launchers, etc.)
I understand that not everyone has the time to read an entire thread, and that's quite okay. But if you have enough time to look for a new ROM, check some screenshots, download it, install it, then run into issues and post a quesion - you have enough time to search a thread. All you have to do is hit the 'search thread' button, give the tool a couple of keywords ('launcher force close', 'bluetooth headset no sound' etc.) and see what it throws back. If it throws you an answer, all well and good. If it doesn't try a few more keywords, then post your question. At least you've done your research!
In the end, what you do is up to you. Know, however, that you stand a much better chance of getting the answer you are looking for (not just a rude single sentence - an actual answer that will help you) if you put in a little bit of effort before you ask the question.
Welcome to the largest smartphone development forum on the internet
Try being a moderator! Trust me, some of those things you listed are something we have tried to reduce for a long time, but when you have a forum with almost 4 million members, keeping everyone under control is not something we can always do 100%.
Feel free to make any suggestions as to how things can be improved. We are always welcome to hear ideas.

MY battery keeps dieing
is there ne way to last longer
any apps
or turning off nething
etc?
Have you read any of the many threads on optimization battery life?
Have you researched a rom that meets you needs and tried that?
Have you read on the kernels and which give best battery life?
Do you have an extended battery? Have you read any threads on those?
If not you are a person that should probably buy an iphone.
That's it? My battery keeps dying is the only thing you can say? My battery dies too. I was under the impression they didn't last forever. How long they last before they die is where a problem could be. Fail...you don't even deserve an answer.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Dude, stop making threads. Seriously. Do your own damn research and if you happen to have a specific question, start a thread at that time.
There is plenty of information on here about making your battery last longer and as the previous poster said please stop cluttering up the forums with a new thread about every question you have.
Also questions go in the Q & A forum and NOT the General Forum.
If you really have questions and cant find any info by searching or looking through the forums then post a single thread with all the questions you have in the correct forum.
Thread closed as there are existing threads covering this question.
MArk.
Under my normal usage, which is very light compared to most, i can easily get 24 hours out of my battery.
After having my phone about 2 weeks, on 5 or so occasions the battery has lost its charge after 2 hours with zero usage. When i see this happening i will restart my phone and it seems to fix the issue however upon rebooting i see a major drop in battery charge. Is this a normal calibration issue or a faulty battery? Do you think i should send it back for a replacement?
I've done some >> RESEARCH for you.

How does that answer the question?
The answer, IMO, is no, that is not normal but could be a rogue app, try removing some apps. Also, have you tried a factory reset?
What I try to make clear is that this is yet another battery thread started while so many threads exist.
The Op could use one of the existing threads don't you think?
It doesn't hurt if the Op does a little research first and the question is pretty obvious to my opinion.

I have looked through a couple hundred pages of battery threads. While i have seen a handfull of pictures of battery power cliffs like mine, none have seen responses that i could tell. I also posted in the "Battery Stats" thread to no avail. So after my do diligence, i started yet another battery thread.
I have not tried a factory reset. Maybe i'll give that a go.
Well, if you couldn't find it you are probably the only one and because of that
your conclusion could be that it isn't normal.
Your question is to obvious to my opinion, it doesn't make sense.

Well starting another thread... You could argue with the fact that he did his "due diligence".
Posting in an existing thread usually means 73,4% less views on a question asked. (Due to ppl know that thread and ignoring it, and means just ppl that are subscribed to it "might" reply) You could argue that he will get ppl that know more about the issue so the answers might be spot on. But as he stated he searched, so the "spot on" ppl might not be existing.
What he did "wrong" was post this in the general section even though this is a question.
However general section topics get 27,9% more views as Q&A and posting this in the General section and getting moved to Q&A after from a mod gives you 85,2% move views. So you have to admire his intelligence and cunning thinking.
So I don't get deleted as OT. @OP batteries do sometimes the craziest things . I wouldn't suspect a rogue app, rather then it didn't charge completely? Reported wrong. Try to use one charger for one week and another charging method for another week.
PS: the percentages are random numbers that popped into my head
It all depends how people respect the forum rules and other members I ques.
Of course the numbers are just random but imagine people should do a little digging/reading first,
and not open a thread for every small issue they are having?
Imagine how clean the board would be, don't you think people would look in that thread 'about the battery'?
Threads like this 80% (that's also just random but about correct I ques) end up in flaming and that's why I don't like them.
Maybe I look like a hard head to you but I'm a member for about 8 years and this trend started the last 2/3 years.
If people respect each other a little bit more, discussions like this wouldn't exist and the board contained a lot more relevant stuff making it easier for you and me to find what we are searching for.

I actually have done this already.
Week one was on my old HTC charger, and this same thing happened every couple days. For about the last week i have been using my new HTC charger as i sold the other phone and it's still happening.
I guess my extremely obvious question is still leaning to the completely obvious replacement of the device.
Thanks for the help.

Not sure what I am quoting now. But wanted to say about the trend. For what I see (and yeah you have 2 years on me ) .Is xda-developers becoming xda-bugranters xda-brandranters. Instead of bug reports and fixes. You get 90% of posts how bad we are treated from brand X how brand Y is better.
I don't need to even check the jellybean ota thread or 4.0.4 thread. As there is literally no relevant info.
Before I could check the forums and see: hey a new ota. Now I see : hey a new ota, oh wait old thread full with ranting.

Well you can try to use USB charging . Also do the factory reset as they might ask you about it in the service center.
Better to come and say you tried it, so they can rule it out and not just give it to you back with "new fw, factory reset"
I do not think they will use the phone and test how the usage is in time and if the battery isn't reporting anything abnormal.
Btw you did the *#*#4636#*#* and checked the Battery Info right?
