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:

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.

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.

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.

Since I thought my phone, I've noticed an annoying problem. When my phone is charging in the screen is locked, I go to unlock the phone and the touch screen seems to have a problem registering my touch for the pattern password.
I would unplug it for a second to draw the unlock pattern, unlock the phone, and then proceed about while the phone is plugged back in. Then out of nowhere, it'll do the same thing.
Anyone experiencing this?

There is another thread here somewhere that talks about the issues while being plugged in. I think this was one that was mentioned.

i am not getting that problem, but if you call tmobile im sure they will switch the phone.
I've had this problem - but only when I used a different charger from the one included (even though it's a Samsung charger). Are you using the cable included with the phone?
Yea it has happened on mine but only if it was laying down when i try to unlock it. once i pick it up it was fine

I can confirm this very issue on two GSII's I've used. It's annoying.

This is a known issue with all variants of the Galaxy S2.
The Galaxy S2 is very sensitive to input voltage, and if it doesn't like what it's getting, the touch screen calibration gets a little funky.
Voltage-regulated chargers (ones that are big and blocky or have a bulb on the wire) tend to work well.
Don't bother exchanging it over this, it won't change anything. You just need a better charger.
Yes, I'm using the same charger came with the phone. I guess we will just settle this issue with the fact that it just gets a little funky When plugged in.

better charger yes
phone being sensitive not really
all Properly build chargers will not cause that problem
i purchase cheap 2A charger from Deal Extreme, but those are build good, not like some of the crappo accessories from ebay
BlackBerry chargers works good too
I have the same problem.
As many of you guys said, a good charger is needed for a stable voltage input.
I have no problems charging from the original charger and my desktop computer.
However the problem shows when I am using my laptop (7 year old) usb.
So a good charger is recommended.
I can confirm this issue, but what i want to know is, why does this happen when the phone is lying flat on a surface while charging and goes away the moment you pick it up? If it was a faulty or imprecise charger issue then the problem should persist?
My guess is it has to do with the EM shielding around the charging module, and that it doesnt do enough to shield the totally normal residual interference from interfering with the touch screen digitizer. When we pick it up, our hand acts as an interference dampener and minimizes the issue while it is charging, to almost negligible amounts. But its just a guess. The chargers might also be generating greater than average interference as well. But just charger alone cannot explain why pickibg up minimizes the problem.
The charger doesn't cause any erratic behavior on my Galaxy Nexus like it does on this phone... So what is the explanation behind that?

Use the charger that came with the phone

What's unfortunate is that the Samsung charger that came with the device causes the touchscreen issues.
Fortunately, I have an HTC charger lying around that works, no problems.
I have seen this happen with the HD2, Evo 4g, galaxy s4g & Sensation. Its a problem with chargers and the voltage. It happens with those chargers from walmart. Its not just the GS2 phones.

Add the Tmo HD7 to the list.... it happens all touchphones on which i believe has grounds surrounding the phone, touching the touch screen stabilizer or whatever you'd like to call it. It's the ground of the charger, nothing to do with charger instability. Take your laptop's charger, plug it into a wall with no 3rd ground (a laptop that has the 3rd prong) and take that same plug, and plug it into a plug with 3 prongs, you'll notice it has that static-like feeling that makes ur fingers tingle (when you touch a metal part of your laptop). It's the same issue with our phones
I hope this helps someone
Just change charger i have noticed that since i work in a cellphone company .... but i change to a different charger and it stopped doing that....
I used another charger but the problem still exist
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!

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.

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.

Yeah, most people when charging either go to sleep or charge it whilst doing something else such as a Bath Etc.
Hense why most don't notice these issues.
Quick question, do you know if I am right in thinking its do with how the charger grounds(earths) the phone?
Its not due to grounding, the charger has no ground wire. The phone is double isolated (ip44) I think it has more to do with the fact that the phone is more busy with concentrating on the charging and controlling that process. Hence why the digitizer might get a bit less voltage and doesn't respond as good as without the charger.
This is totally my own logical explanation, not saying its 100% correct but i can't think of another reason atm.....

Pretty sure there is more than one digitizer which would explain why some have issues and some don't.

For me this happens on HD2, Sensation, OneX, only on one particular wall socket regardless of whether phone is being charged directly via HTC charger or from usb port of laptop. as long as laptop charger or htc charger is connected to that wall socket touchscreen on all above phones goes crazy.
So I've been reading a lot of forums but I can't seem to get things to work. My friend recently gave me his old HTC one x to mess around with. He hasn't used it in like a year and a half, because about a year and a half ago, his phone randomly cut off while he was using it and it wouldn't cut back on.
He's not the kind of person who roots or messes around with the phone so its stock.
I am getting NO led light when its on the charger. I've tried holding the power button forever. I've tried the power + vol down combo. Currently I'm leaving it on the charger for like four days to see if that fixes it.
Anyone have any other ideas before I open up the phone?

No charging sign, no action on power buttons/volume.

I took it apart and got it to charge and cut on for a little bit but I noticed one of the ribbons looked awfully brown as if it had been fried. I'm assuming that's the problem in most of these
