are you using the original charger and cable? I had a similar problem with my vibrant. It only happened with cheap tired party cable/chargers. The phone was fine.it was the touch screen that was sluggish. I suspect a stay charge or ground effecting the capacitive measurements of the screen
thus the sluggishness.

Same here. I'm using original charger. I think it's the outlet. Faulty grounding. If I will switch the outlet the problem goes away.

Interesting you mention the outlet- I have had the same experience with erratic touch screen behavior when plugged in, and have had it with other devices including non-Samsung, but it seems to be random. But it happened today and I remember I was plugged into an outlet upside down. WOnder if it in fact did mess with the grounding or something and led to the strange touch screen behavior. Will try a few times and see if I can replicate and narrow down a constant....

I have noticed it as well. After seeing your post i realized it is only when plugged into the wall.

I've had this problem over multiple phones & multiple chargers.

I have the same problem, can't even unlock the phone while charging...

Link doesn't pull up the charger but it's probably the same ones on eBay with the pink and blue led light. Not bad for the price but it takes a LONG time to charge!

Link fixed..

Beware. Been many reports that non-OEM charges don't fully charge the battery and they shut off at 85% or so.

About 6-7 hours....not a problem if you only have one spare battery...but you need at least two of them if you have four

The contacts that make the connection to the battery came loose and were just hanging out of the little holes....I opened it up and fixed them back in place using a soldering iron....don't think anyone else would have gone through all the effort for $2.50....but I like tinkering with things....

[Q] Weird charging issue

Last night I shut my phone off around 11pm and went to bed. The phone was at 48% when I plugged it in. This morning, I woke up around 6am and thought it was a little odd that the light on my phone was still red. When I turned my phone on it was only at 82%. After 7 hours it only charged 34%. Does anybody have any ideas why? I am on the latest Jellybomb.
I did post this in the Jellybomb Q and A thread but I figured it might be better to start a separate thread as I do not think it is Rom related?

Did you use the charger that came with the phone or another charger? I've noticed that my phone will only charge properly with high amperage chargers.
This is especially true if something is going on in the background (e.g. Titanium Backup).
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium

Yes I did, that is the weird thing. Also the phone was off, so nothing running in the background!

there are known issues with the security of the cable that comes with the phone, it might have been loosely inserted into the phone

Thank you for the heads up! I was not aware that there was a known issue.

Yup. The stock cable does not click wjen inserted, and doesn't even fit securely in the connector. I think I've noticed that my 2A HP Touchpad charger charges quicker than my stock N2 charger...problem with a device with great battery life, testing charging can't happen that often
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

Odd... I must have gotten a cable from a different batch, because mine definitely clicks. I wonder if Sammy fixed the problem by the time I got around to ordering my GN2 (I purchased mine from Sprint a couple of weeks or so ago).
Is it a problem with the cable or the connector on the phone?

My phone I got from local brick and mortar corporate Sprint last Friday all baggies in the retail box were factory sealed. Definitely a cable problem, my Touchpad charger clicks fine.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

Similar wird thing also happened to me few months ago. Bought noname charger for my phone and always had battery problems.

I can also confirm that the stock cable doesn't click and it loosens very easily. I tried my s3 cable and that one is perfect. It isn't loose compared to gn2. Also hp charger does seem to charge any of my gadgets faster than usual.

Damaged charging port

Have any of you guys experienced the charging port on the bottom of the phone not working properly? Mine is not working reliably with numerous chargers. Was wondering if this may be a widespread issue or if it's just me

Only issue I had was that my phone would lock up using a SG3 charger so stopped using it.

I didn't charge last night and so I plugged mine in at work today with only 8% battery left. I checked it later and was down to 5%, my old Evo 3d charger didn't seem to do anything to it. I powered down, unplugged everything, removed battery and then reconnected and it finally started charging. It charges very slow at 1amp but it's charging now at least.

it really prefers the 2 amp charger... it's a phablet after all... try the stock or tablet chargers (with the stock cable) I bet they work wonders

+1 to this! I was having the same problem until I realized that the charger that comes with the phone is 2amp. As long as I charge with that or my touchpad charger, I am good to go.

I noticed that the port may be a little deeper than some cables allow for. I haven't had a chance to verify this, but you may want to check the cable you're using for a good fit.

The real problem is in the charger itself. I tried using an HTC charger and it was a no go. The stock charger is a 2 AMP version and that is the way to go. It actually charges quite quickly on the appropriate charger.

I've used Blackberry, HTC, Motorola chargers... all worked for me.

I've had my phone for about a week and I am also experiencing issues with the charger port. It happens randomly. I would connect the charger and it wouldn't charge but if I try again moments later, it will charge. I also experienced it go from charging to not charging, repeatedly. (My charger works fine, I tested it with other devices)

If it is not a 2amp charger, it is going to be an intermittent problem!

Using 4 different chargers on mine ranging from .5 amps to 2 amps. No problems charging.

I am using the stock charger that came with the phone. Also, periodically my phone tweaks, I get a notification sound and in my notification bar it says "dock is connected"

Charge but not charge?

Just today my phone decided not to charge anymore. So I decided to boot it up with it plugged in and it gave the illusion it was charging. However when I unplugged it the charging symbol stayed. Just recently it now flutters between charding and discharging which is destroying my battery. Does anyone have any advice?

I had that happen once and it was the cable. I think one of the wires in the cable had flexed just a little too much. Picked up a new cable and I was back in business. Might be a thought...

He is talking about your USB cable. If changing to a different cable doesn't help then I'm guessing your charging board is going bad (the board that controls the charging of your battery). There have been a lot if topics around about that, so do a little search and see what advice others with the same problem have done.
