So I have this charger for work : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001LRPN0S/ref=oh_o04_s00_i00_details
And when I have the phone plugged in and I try to use the touch screen, it doesn't register my touch correctly. Sometimes it thinks I'm tapping an inch higher, or left/right of where I was actually tapping.
When I unplug the phone it works great, nor does this happen at home with a different charger.
Is there a specific reason this happens/is anyone else having this problem?
EDIT: Mods, please move to the Q&A. Thanks!

It could mean that the charger is not supported by the phone. Yes, I know it sounds ridiculous and/or stupid. But I had the same problem with a 1A charger from Nokia on my Nexus S (I checked 3 different chargers in shop and all were making the phone act like it was drunk, lol). Changed the charger to a 1A HTC one and it worked. So dunno, change the charger and see if it helps.
Yep this apparently happens to quite a few smartphones on aftermarket chargers. I saw several similar reports on the desire board when I was on that phone, but never had it myself on any of my phones.
I had the same issue with my atrix with a generic charger from best buy. I don't have the same issue with my nexus but I've definitely seen it before.

Yep, have that same problem from third party chargers.
my generic charger does the same thing. i was getting very mad that my screen was acting up. glad this is not a big issue. guess ill use the original charger. also, has anyone noticed that the screen goes crazy if you have to many finger prints on it? i have to clean my screen to make it work....
On the manual that comes with the GSM Galaxy Nexus Samsung says:
"While the device is charging, the touch screen may not function due to an unstable power supply. If this happens, unplug the travel adapter from the device."
I guess that means your charging is feeding the phone an unstable current.
I would not use such a thing and will stick to Samsung's charger.
This happens to me on my Incredible, but may have to do with 500 vs. 1000 amps... Not sure...

So when the unresponsive screen when grounded issue came about, I didn't really notice the problem much myself. However, recently, and I'm not sure when this started, the screen has become horribly unresponsive when charging any time! Doesn't matter if it's on desk, in my hand, stock charger, 3rd party charger, etc., if it's charging at all, the touch screen only accepts half or less of my inputs, making typing impossible. Is this due to the last software update? Anyone else experience this issue? I would exchange the phone, but not if it's not going to help anything.
this happens to me when i use my cheap ebay charger
The fps lifting kernels fix this.
+1 for symtoms seen when using a wonky charger/cable.
+1 due to cheap charger - anyone know why this happens? is the OEM usb cable different spec from the cheap ones?
Hate to beat a dead horse, but the same happens when I plug my phone into the charger I got from eBay. Kind of disappointing, considering that I would otherwise be able to charge two batteries at the same time.
I notice this issue with the stock charger.
I believe the issue was when its not grounded..
Being plugged in is just about the most grounded your phone can get.
That's not the problem.
Starting to do it to me also now.
Just to be clear, this happens to me with the STOCK charger.

I'm having the same issue. i just chocked it up to the new kernel.
one thing i did notice is it seems to be intermittent. Yesterday night, it worked fine. this morning(conveniently when my alarm went off) i could NOT get the dismiss thingy to slide down.
Anyone else experiencing this? I do think it got worse after last software update. Would be nice if the next one improved things.
I emailed support, they did not say anything about it being a known issue, and suggested a factory reset. If that doesn't help, they recommended using my warranty. Would like to hear from more people before going through with the reset.
It happens to me when charging via outlet. Charging via USB connected to computer does not produce the issue.
I think it has to do with grounding.
Same thing happens to me! I noticed it with my aftermarket wall charger.
Bringing this back up, happens to me with a Stock charger.
Is it really the kernel? :\
@Person who said charging is the most grounded, the stock charger is not grounded ( in AU anyway ) and therefore it is the LEAST grounded.
ive noticed this happening over the past month or so. i've got to admit i've only really noticed this when its plugged into a usb cord i got off ebay. relieving to think it might only be an issue with it being a cheap cable and not the phone but i'll verify tonight with the stock cable.
I've been plagued by this problem for weeks and just discovered that it only happens when charging. I use the stock charging cable and wall adapter. I'm very, very happy to know what the problem is. I'm going to start testing this at various locations.
EDIT: I've tried this on both the wall adapter at work and on my work computer's usb. Same problem, though it seems worse when plugged into the wall outlet.
The touchscreen is fine on my sprint brand car charger and on the usb charger on my laptop. However, it starts missing taps when I plug my usb cable into my usb car charger. I'm going to best buy tonight to buy a different charger and see if that helps.

I have these issues as well with the stock charger and cable regardless of which kernel I use.

I recall reading about someone who had this issue with one (but not all) of their el-cheapo MonoPrice chargers. Maybe a grounding issue with the charger cable (beyond the grounding issue the phone had universally until 2.2 update). So, questions for you...
Have you tried more than one charger, and if so, does the phone behave this way on them all? If not, are you using a MonoPrice charger by any chance?
yep - are you using the OEM charger and cable? Mine works fine with I use the HTC charger, but not when I use another microusb charger I have.

Never thought off that, I'm traveling and had to get a cheap charger...when I get home I'll use my oem and see what happens, thanks guys...
Welp
My 2 cents ... I am on my 3rd incredible and have found all 3 do get slower while charging, and I guess you might say 'unresponsive' but 'delayed response intermittently' might be a better phrasing. I suspect that part of the issue is that the battery/phone gets warmer while the charging is going on, and if it gets to a heat issue, the phone may start clocking down a bit.
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 All -
On the whole i am very happy with the G Nex. One thing is annoying me though. When plugged into the mains on charge the plug itself emits a strange, high pitch noise. It sounds like some form of interference. I have had this before on a cheap replacement ipod charger.
As i charge the phone next to my bed it really is a pain.
I have tried different plug sockets, and it is plugged directly into the mains.
Anyone else notice this, or can advise?
Thanks
Coil whine.
Hotglue the coil or get a new one.
Thanks for the quick reply.
So this is a fault that needs a replacement charger? Im not going to start taking things apart myself....

The problem is that not many consider it an actual fault, as it does infact not impair it's functionality.
But yeah, maybe they can offer you another charger for free, if not you can always just use another USB-charger.
I have just tried my desire hd charger and the same thing happens when plugging in the galaxy nexus.
I again tried it in different sockets just to be sure. I even plugged in the desire hd to make sure i wasnt going mad....

The issue can be related to the load, so even a different phone may change the results in whether or not the whining appears, and can even make other chargers "whine".
Bascially it has to do with the resonance produced by the inductor coil, depending on the load, it will reach a state where it can vibrate, producing said whine.
Did you try your Desire HD in the Nexus Charger?
Both mine AND my girlfriends gs2 have this problem. When the phone is charging, the touchscreen is not reading the correct point of where I touch. Anyone else having this problem?
Yeah we all are. There is something wrong with the square adapter that came with the phone. Try plugging it into a PC to charge or using a different adapter. It works fine.
I noticed this as well, but only with non-OEM adapters.
And I thought it was only me. Get the same problem only with cheap chargers.
OEM, MT4G, Transformer, Touchpad, Galaxy Player, Ipad & iPhone chargers all do not experience the problem.

I don't and I also have this problem.
I believe its the square Samsung charging adapter.
Powered by the SGSII....
Ditto here, it behaves Ok when charged from my laptop, PC and Motorola charger (came with my Milestone), but definitely quirky when charged from the square little adapter that came with the SGS-T989D.
Add me to this list as well.

Same here, but it does change when I use another Samsung adapter like the one from my Vibrant it'll actually work once i use that one.
I have the problem with non-oem...oem is just fine for me
This is happening to me. I am using a Quikcharger for Samsung which I bought from Sears. Anyway to fix this? Because the OEM square charger + data cable is to short to use in bed.

it only happens with defective charging cables
how i know?... i just accidentally crippled a pin of my existing charger, and now even though it still charges, it causes all kind of random weird things in my phone.
so i simply stopped using it, and changed to another charging cable

This is a known issue with the SGS2. Any inconsistencies or issues with the power supply via AC will cause the screen to tweak out. Possible causes are a bad cable, bad power source (outlet), or improperly inserted microUSB connector. If you try a number of times and cannot get the cable to connect properly, return it or get a new one.
