[Q] Ipod/Iphone charger results in buggy touchscreen?

I think nobody asked this question before since I didn't find it even loking in Google
Since I got mi Desire I realised that not every charger works for it, I have an USB charger that went with a bluetooth dongle I bought (with same specs) but seems to be a lie because the battery keeps draining when plugged in, but that's not the problem I actually have.
My original HTC charger broke after three weeks of normal use , since there are no HTC stores in my country I went to an Apple store and bought and Iphone charger wich has the same specs as the broken stock one (Output 5V 1A). The problem is that sometimes when I plug the phone (usualy I charge my phone overnight), the screen becomes buggy, sometimes not responsive and sometimes over responsive (eg. if I click on an icon to move it into the home screen, it responds as if I clicked that icon several times very quickly). At first I thougt it was a ROM issue, but at this moment I already tried LeeDroid, OpenDesire and now I'm on teppic74's rooted Froyo and had similar issues in everyone of them. It's not really a mind breaker since I am ussually sleeping while charging, but I wonder if I'm not killing the battery or causing any kind of damage to the phone.
Can anybody give me a hand on this?
Thanks

Why not just order a charger online?
I don't know if it hurts the phone or the battery.
But if my screen went super-laggy and over-responsive by charging it..
I'd throw the charger out.

Already ordered, but I was wondering if someone happened to know a technical reason for this to happen, the phone doesn't overheat and the charging process works as a charm, the only issue is the screen wich sometimes behaves perfectly normal
Guess I will give the charger to any iphone owner when I get the original one (I have to buy in the UK store.. totally overseas)

My phone does the same thing if I use a PS3 charger (Just the usb to wall socket part). When I was in a phone shop, I noticed their Desire HD that was on display did the same thing. From what I can gather, it doesn't do any damage and happens with a lot of aftermarket chargers. Don't take my word for that though, hope I shed some light

Hello
Have same problem with my recently buyed HTC Desire while charging with non-original charger (from Nokia).
First time I'm worried about phone, but after reading charger's characteristics I found some difference in power.
So I think while phone charging it's receives less power than needed for normal work.

Official Galaxy S II Vehicle Dock Kit charging issues

A few days ago I purchased Galaxy S II official vehicle dock, so today I decided to give it a try. But to the problem I ran into, was that when I was using GPS (CoPilot) the phone shows that its charging, but it actually slowly discharges it. Well first I thought that, my car cigarette lighter plug didn't give it enough juice, but then I tried the same thing with the phone connected to regular power outlet using the original charger. The result was that the phone shows that its charging, but the percentage doesn't go up or down, it just idles at the percentage point, when i connected it to charger. I'm pretty sure it should charge the phone, even if I use GPS and the screen is switched on. My second thought was that the phone was overheating due to hot weather, but im not sure about this.
The only time I actually got the phone charging through the cigarette plug, was when the phone's screen was switched off.
So my question is what should I do? Is the dock connector damaged or something? should I consider changing it or is there some other problem? I have read all the topics about this issue and its seems, that there is no firm fix for this. Im really running out of ideas.
(The phone was charged to 80% when I encountered this problem.)

I have actually the same issue, I just presumed that the car charger doesn't produce enough charge to actually charge.

I can only give you 3 guesses:
1- Maybe it's some sort of weird software bug (maybe the ICS 4.0.4 + SiyahKernel combination or something);
2- It's simply the battery chip going crazy (whenever my battery indicator seems to go nuts I simply reset the fuel gauge with ExTweaks, you might wanna give it a try); and
3- A bad or damaged car-plug charger (since you have that problem when charging from the dock and directly from an original charger, I don't think it's a bad dock).
I'm saying that because I use the original car dock quite a lot - almost always for usage as a GPS Navigator (NDrive 11) with GPS, Data and WiFi Connection always on (too lazy to turn WiFi off while in the car) and usually with an increased brightness (around 50 - 70%) and even in those battery unfriendly conditions (GPS on and locked, WiFi and Data on, high brightness, etc, etc, etc) it still charges the battery. It takes a while to get a full charge, but it gets fully charged eventually. And I sometimes use the car-plug charger directly in the phone, when I'm not using my S2 as a GPS Navigator.
I would suggest you to try and use another ORIGINAL car-plug charger to check - or maybe go back to whoever sold you the dock and get it replaced or something...
Hope this helps. Best regards mate.

Thanks, I thought that this had something to to with some factory blunder, but if you're saying that it works for you, then I'll give it a try and see if I can figure out what the problem is.

You can buy it on eBay - there are a lot of UK stores with very high positive reputation - I bought mine from one in UK, and it arrived about 3 weeks after the purchase (and keep in mind that the brazilian customs is recognized worldwide as one of the slowest, most burocratic in the planet). It was worth the wait, though, as the minimum value of the original vehicle dock sold "officially" in Brazil was more than twice the purchase and shipping costs from buying it in eBay...

Your problem, is everyone's problem.
This phone will only charge at 750ma, and not 1A like most smart phones.
You can change this by rooting the deivce and installing a different kernal.
Should you do this, you may notice the phone getting hotter whilst charging, and I imagine your battery's overall lifespan will be shorter,

[Q] Touch goes crazy when connected to power

Hi there,
well, it depends a little bit which charger I use but one some I have the bad experience that when I have the phone connected to power the display just goes crazy. Means that as long as the display is turned on it pushed/touches automatically some areas in the display without stopping. So when I want to do something I have to disconnect the mobile first and than I can work with it.
As someone similar experience or knows how to solve it?
Thanks
Stephan
btw. it happens also with different mods

LOL same sh!t happened to me today too.
I moved in another USB slot from PC and seems that issue is gone. But until today I didn't had this issue. Maybe is the polarization +/- from the charger.

Happens to me also with an universal charger. Touchscreen is almost unusable while charging and laying on the table. But seems to work fine if I hold it with my hands (grounding the aluminium body). This happened also with my Motorola Defy with the same charger. But it didn't have any metal components on the outside so it didn't work correctly in the hand either.

Scary
Hehe, first time I saw this was so scary, ghost in the phone.
That should be the charger. I have two non original charges one of then with 1A and the other with less. First of then affects the screen sometime and the other never gave me that issue.
Hope this helps.

Yes. It's because of the voltage fluctuations that the screen starts to react weirdly. The same happens when you use a non-standard AC supply too. Don't keep using that charger and/or USB port for long though.. it will cause damage to your phone screen and more so to the battery.

Yes, specially with blackberry chargers

[Q] "Helpful" battery full notification

Anyone know how to permanently get rid of this? I used G3 Tweak Box but that just removed the notification in the pull-down. It still vibrates irregularly if you use the phone while it's plugged in as the voltage level climbs and falls. PLEASE for the love of FSM let's get rid of this!

Unplug charger. It gone

Try removing g3 tweak box and exposed then see if it does it. My phone does not. Asked a few other guys and they don't have this issue

It's not Tweks Box or xposed, this stupid notification is a LG feature and there's no way to turn it off. Yet.

Could be bad hardware cause mine don't vibrate like his. Also xposed does phone to act stupid. Not for everyone but it does.

Its probably because the phone starts charging again when it hits the 99% mark (or close to 99%) then tells you its at 100 again. This phone doesn't have a pass through for power. If your phone is on its using battery even if its plugged in.

Different batteries but it could be my phone thats broke. All I know is this is the first phone I have owned that I can't remove my battery even though its plugged in.

There's been several of these same threads about the persistent battery notification in this forum as well as the general G3 forum, it's not Xposed or faulty phones. What it seems to be is the charger that's being used, most notably if it's not the OEM charger.
Some are saying it's the battery/phone dropping from 100% to 99%, then charging back to 100% and gives the notification. Others are saying it's just saying you're at 100% and flashing it once a minute or so to remind you.
I'm wondering if it's the charger, as when I'm home and it's plugged in on my old Note 3 2amp charger, I don't get that notification during the night when I'm sleeping.
But, when I'm at work and I'm using my Samsung 1amp cube charger, it keeps displaying and sounding that stupid battery full, unplug to save energy notification over and over.
It could be as ThePagel said, the phone is not getting the full power it needs from the charger, so the battery drops to 99% and charges back up to 100%, display notification, rinse and repeat.
That's why I'm assuming it might be the chargers perhaps.

Could be why I don't have this issue. Both my chargers are 2 amps or higher

This describes the problem perfectly. The charger I am using is a 2.1A charger, though, so I don't understand why it keeps doing that. I also don't understand how it could possibly be using enough power to actually discharge the battery down from 100% to 99% WHILE being charged even from a 1A charger. How much freaking juice does this thing need to use?!

My Galaxy Note II was like this too, so was my Nexus One and my T-Mobile G2 (HTC Vision). This isn't a strange phenomenon AFAIK.

I just checked it; it's actually a 2.4A and it's designed to be able to charge two devices at the same time. It's a PowerGen HLPG-001-12W. http://www.ebay.com/itm/PowerGen-Bl...S_Cell_Phone_PDA_Chargers&hash=item46234c30b0 Mine is white, but it's the same one.

I'm not trying to to bad mouth xposed or anything it is really cool but it seems like everything I ever tried to do with xposed is buggy. It really is to bad that most roms depend on it so much now a day's. I miss the hard framework modifications that worked perfect unless the developer made a mistake. But I do understand it can take a long time to add some of the stuff xposed gives for example reboot options. Sorry I just realized I went way off subject lol.

That might be the issue. It might be 2.4 all together but 1.2 per port. I have the note 3 which is 2 amp and the lg one also 2.1. My car has 2 port but it is 4.3 amp so it could do 2.1 per port. That be why I don't have that issue. Try the lg plug and see if it same thing.

Just found an old blackberry USB charger. Holy cow that's old lol. It is .9 amps. I been using my phone and it keep dropping back and fourth. I really dunno what to tell you bro. When I use normal amp stuff I am OK when I use low amp I get what you get. Maybe the new kernel that came out will help you out.

Xperia Play red light

Hi,
yesterday I bought a used R800i, the seller said I just need to charge the Battery. So back at home i plugged it to a charger an the LED near the power button startet blinking. First I thought it´s not a big deal but after a couple of hours it was clear that this is not alrigt. Even if i remove the battery the red light keeps blinking continuous (not 3 times or something similar, just every second once). I don´t know if it´s a software or hardware bug but could you help me to get it fixed?
best Regards
Lukas

It could be empty battery (but voltage level is not high enough to start charging).
Check with flashtool can you enter flash mode or fastboot mode (if you can, then it's probably empty battery)
If you can, check voltage level of battery with voltmeter.
It can be that motherboard is dead, but to be sure, you must know what is voltage level of battery.
For now, try leaving it charging, it might take some time (few hours or more) to actually start charging...

If battery have 0 volts then it's dead and (most likely) can't be charged anymore. You need new battery, so you can know is motherboard is working or not.
But that is just my opinion, and i could be wrong...
Maybe to try and charge battery from external source of 5V power , easiest way is cut some usb cable or take two wires from PC's molex connector (red is +5V, black is GND) and charge it for shortly (about 30sec-1min) and measure does it have at least 3.2V. Repeat short charging untill it does. If it stay on 0V then is dead for sure.

I was really able to charge the battery over a cut USB cable. I got it to boot until lookscreen (digitizer does not response) but then the battery turned hot and the Xperia shut down. I ordered now a new battery then it should work again

Digitizer not working could be faulty slider-flex cable or simply software error due overheating. You'll know with new battery...

Flex Cable looks like this, should I get a new one?

Yes, that's slider flex cable.
But wait untill you get new battery. Then you'll know does it have more problems or it is working normally

Sad News, today I got the new battery and i was even able to boot up the phone, but like the last time i was able to boot it up the battery and the mainboard got hot. I think the loading circuit is broken. So there are two options 1. buy a external charger for the batterie or 2. sell the phone as rarely used on ebay
No really I´m selling it, even if i get a charger theres also the problem with the not working digitzer. Thanks for your Help but this is ways to big for me.

Sorry to hear that. Obviously problem is much bigger and hard to tell what is wrong without some proffesional look into it (lot of reasons for phone to get hot by itself - there is short circuit somewhere and that's why it's draing battery fast and causing overheating). I don't think external charger will solve problems.
Anyway, good luck :good:
