Hi,
Iam from UAE also, Al Ain.
Where you bought and when?
Is it made in Taiwan or China?
Hey.. I guess that's your first charging.. phone will do well if you don't mess with your phone at the first charge and don't run any applications.. after few charges the phone tends to cool down gradually.. my phone yesterday boomed till 55C and I've encountered the same problem as you regarding screen.. But hold on for few days.. ( hopefully it'll come out good )

and just noticed today my phone hit all time low 34C
I also has this problem, had my phone for two days and got the same error this morning when using it during charging.. there better be a fix for this asap or im returning this and going back to my galaxy nexus

I have seen this many times with my old Sensation. It would do that if you plugged it into a power source with the wrong voltage or amps. I bought a travel charger with a USB plug on it and whenever I connected my Sensation it would go berserk, unresponsive to touch and screen flickering and jerking.

I don't think its necessarily HTC guys. My SGS has done it since day one as well.. its a nightmare browsing/texting when plugged in, it even once set an alarm by itself thinking I was touching the screen when it was just on my bedside table. And spammed my ex with the letter m and sent it to her on Whatsapp haha

I had the same issue with my Motorola Milestone (Droid). Actually the whole casing felt to be slightly statically charged when connected to the charger.
This might be solved by using a different adapter, but it could also be the general electric layout of the room/house, which can cause non-neutral charges on the "ground" side of the charger. Static charges seriously mess with a capacitive screen.
I don't have the problem with my One X in the Netherlands.
Well this is intresting as i have the same problem. i will need to try another charger as i have the same problem.
Well i have tried two HTC chargers, tried 3 diffrent wall sockets and 3 USB cables all show the same problem. Too me it looks like the screen is not grounded. Much like my HTC sensation which need a little bit of alaminuim film to ground correctly.

i have noticed this on desire HD - same problem - with a unofficial cheap charger with USB port. switched back to official HTC charger from that point, all good.
so - mostly the charger is faulty or expects a different voltage level (110v Vs 240v thing)
Well i just tried the wifes blackberry charger, works fine. How come None of the offical chargers work.
Blackberry Charger
Input: 100~240v, 150mA 50-60Hz, 10-20va
Output: 5v 750mA
HTC chargers
Input: 100~240v, 200mA, 50-60hz
Output: 5v 1A
So it appears the HTC chargers output more voltage but surely this sort of thing would be wide spread.
Called HTC tech support they didn't have a clue so my case is being passed to their 2nd line team.
Confirm

Same here, I am, facing this issue with the official htc charger. When using a blackberry charger this issue does not happen
i've had the same issue with other phones.. i fixed using a Nokia Charger with 1.250 mAh which is also superfast in charging the phone
First charge with mine last night and mine suddenly went laggy/unresponsive when I put it on charge. I also ran a quadrant and only got around 3600 when I'd normally get 4900?!
Wasn't sure if this was due to being on very low battery though (despite being on charge)?
I guess the charger mess upp the capacitive touchscreen, either because of electric fields messing with the sensitive field that sense the finger, or bad grounding in the touch-panel.
I had similar problem with my old Legend. If i had it laying on certain materials (cloth etc) the screen became unresponsive.
so this is not a problem with the phone, it just a design "feature" of having a capacitive touch screen.
And yeah, the charger might be the cullprint. Either it has diffrent pin-out in the charger causing bad grounding or something else.
btw, the voltage is 5 volt on all chargers. the current is diffrent though. I dont think the phone charge with more then 200-450mAH considering it takes 4-5 hours to charge fully.
I've not experienced any screen issues while charging with the screen. I've charged it with the official charger, an iphone charger, a touchpad charger and an xperia play charger.
My old desire used to do this if using certain chargers in some sockets at work.
I'll see what mine is like again later when I charge it.
Has anyone had a pop-up saying something along the lines of 'Activity consuming more battery than the charge is giving' ?
Not in those exact words but that's basically what it said. I was watching a flash video with my phone on charge at the time.
When rooting the Galaxy S4 phone, it has been said on this forum that original USB cable must be used. I read people's posts where they said that Galaxy S3 cable did not work whereas using the S4 original cable that came with the phone worked.
I may have confirmed this the hard way when I also could not root the S4 until I used its original cable. The thing is, in addition to using the original USB cable, I also switched USB ports.
So is the cable itself different, or was it perhaps using a different port that made the difference?
I am not talking about low quality cables vs S4 cable, I am talking about genuine cables like the one that comes with S3, is there a difference between it and the S4 cable? I know the S4 charger is a 2 Amp charger, I know it's different and I am not talking about that, my question is about the cable itself.
No you dont need the original that is bs. I haven't used my original at all. I used the one from my S2 and S3 with no problem.

I have only used an amazon .99$ cable on all my phones. Never had a single problem. I leave the original cable and charger in the box.
Download "galaxy charging current lite"
Plug in each cable
You will see that different cables give you different voltages for charging. Ive only seen the highest (1900) with my original cable and that charges pretty quick. My s3 cable only charges at 1000 and my sisters crappy phone charger would only push 300 which is not enough to charge the battery.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2
Once again, multiple posts in Galaxy S4 threads mention to be SURE to use the original cable, especially when people have problems, and then they report problems resolved after using the original S4 cable that came with the phone. So several people that I've seen, including myself resolved problems after trying the original Galaxy S4 cable instead of the old ones, with one person specifically saying that even the Galaxy 3 cable did not work.
Judging by the post above, it is the cables themselves and not simply what they are plugged into (for example a new 2 amp power source vs older lower amp power sources or even different USB port).
So then the logical follow up question is HOW do you tell you are getting a cable that can match the original Galaxy S4 cable if nobody really lists the cable specs?
Thanks PostMeridianLyf for posting about that app. I just measured all the cables in the house. Some came in as low as 300, found three that came in at 1900, just like the original S4. I suppose the only way to tell is to test them after getting them. There should be an industry standard.
If you're going to charge the S4 overnight, is it actually preferable to use a 300 USB cord instead of the original 1900 cord because the charging would take (much) longer but would actually be easier on the battery life?

I wouldnt think so. If you keep refreshing it you will see that the phone is able to vary the charge and will slow or stop charging the battery when its full.
Besides, its the stock charger for a reason and batteries are not too expensivd either. Just my opinion though, and i dont even think 300 would be near enough
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2
How cheap batteries are is not the point.
If you use a speed charger on regular batteries they will not last nearly as long as when you use a charger that takes several hours to fill them up.
After you go to bed, if you are looking at a few hours of sleep, then it doesn't matter how long the charge takes, doesn't it stand to reason that given a choice, we should choose the slower charging process and extend battery life?
Just try it. But i know for a fact 300 wont even keep your phone on.

in theory and in a lab? yes it will extend the battery life by some statistically relevant amount.
in the real world? you would see a bigger impact from heat (like gaming, using the phone outdoors, etc) on the battery than a slower charging current.
Heat kills batteries, not a sub 1C charging rate.

I don't know what "all" phones means but this is a Galaxy S4 forum and if you use the app posted earlier to measure an old cable, and it happens to be a low current cable, you will not be able to Odin to root the Galaxy S4.
My Galaxy S4 did connect to my computer but I was not able to successfully root using Odin UNTIL I used the original cable which the app measured at 1900 vs. other cables which ranged from 300 to 600 to 900 to 1100. The same was confirmed by multiple users on this forum. Whenever someone has problems rooting Galaxy 4 through Odin, one of the first questions asked now is 'which cable are you using?'
I measured some old cables to match the original Galaxy S4 cable, but there is no way to tell unless you use the new 2 amp Galaxy S4 charger to send the current through and measure each cable using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abmantis.galaxychargingcurrent.free

The main issue here that people are referring to is the pins on the cables. Certain manufacturers are known to use extra pins in the connectors. These serve a few purposes which I won't get into. You may notice on those cables only reaching 300 mAh that the data transfer is also slower. On the factory one, the data transfer will be quicker.
That's all there is to it. Your phone will root just fine. Now, sometimes a crappy charger will really screw with the phone and battery and the only way to "reset" it so it works fine is to use the factory charger. Like when your phone says it's charging even though it's not plugged in.
As far as "trickle charging" a Li-ion battery (ours is a lithium ion polymer battery I think) its worthless generally. Trickle charging is an old trick use on lead-acid and nickel-cadmium batteries. Li-ion works in a totally different way. No real point exists for using that method on these batteries. You might as well charge fast and use your phone than waste time at 300 mAh. Your battery has a chip in it that takes care of all the dirty work. It maintains the proper charging current and will top off the charge as needed while it's plugged in - which is what a trickle charge would do if done correctly.

Thanks for this app! Just tossed out a bunch of cheap-ass USB cables that couldn't deliver more than 300 mA.
The retail charger that comes with the Moto X charges the phone three to four times faster than after market or other phone's chargers. Two questions:
Why is this?
What technical information about the phone/charger do I need to buy replacement chargers that have the same fast charge capacity?
Thanks!
Taken from Anand's review:
"The Moto X comes with a dual-USB port 850 mA charger, like the previous revision of Motorola devices. In practice I've seen the Moto X reliably pull closer to 1 A from the Moto X bundled charger.
What's interesting however is that the Moto X can charge up to the maximum BC1.2 rate of 1.5A. If you use that kind of charger, it charges impressively fast, around 2.3 hours. "
So when I look for chargers I want one that can provide up to 1.5A? Are there any other caveats needed to make it draw that much? I have a feeling my other chargers theoretically can pull that much but don't for compatibility reasons?
Nope. Just look for one that outputs at least 1.5 amps. More amps will not hurt the phone as the phone will only 'request' the amperage or can handle. Ipad certified chargers are typically rated for 2 amps or greater. Be aware though that if it's a dual USB charger and you plug something into the second plug, you most likely won't be getting the full amperage on both.

Thanks a lot! On a similar note, I have a usb car charger that plugs into the cigarette lighter receptacle. Do I also want to find I one with 1.5A+ output?
Charging faster isn't necessarily always a good thing - remember that a byproduct of quicker charging is more heat - and in the car, especially if you're running Gmaps, etc you can hit the thermal limits so it'll actually stop charging until the battery cools.
I figure there's gotta be a reason besides price that Moto didn't ship a charger without 1.5a support.
I have the "andru" charger that is like $25 on amazon and its one or the fast type chargers. Probably not the cheapest but its a cool looking charger. Lots of friends have them too and love them since Google gave them out at Google I/o
Sent from my XT1053 using Tapatalk
If you can afford the time, I'd recomend a slower charger. Slower charger means less heat which is better for the (non-replaceable) battery.
Hy everybody, I think this is the first time I'm posting in the forum. I don't know if this is too old for a thread, but I've lost my charger (feel really bad about it) and I'm now charging with an universal 0.7A charger. However I'd like to find a Motorola branded charger again, id anyone knows a place where I could buy in Europe? I've checked ebay and couldn't find one that I can be sure it's coming form Motorola. If I cannot find one like that, I guess it'll be ok to buy a 1A charger also universal, based on the discussions here?
Hey guys,
So yea, i cant charge my phone up. It had smth to do with the microUSB slot on my phone. When my phone had juice, it detects the charger and then doesn't detect it again back and forth all the time.

Ik that but, seriously, is that the cost of unabling to charge my phone? Rite now, i have some juice left cos I managed to somehow use stock samsung usb cable and Apple adapter to charge my phone.
Upon plugging the cable to my device, i had to forcefully use my index finger to push the front part to the left side. THEN it started charging. Currently, im using PA and battery is good so far. Speaking of battery, this battery i bought is abt 4-6 months old now.

Samsung charger outputs 0.5A power compared to Xiaomi and Apple charger head (which I've been using) that uses 1A output.
I heard the more current the faster it charges batteries. Ive been using those 1A charger the whole of my life.
Currently, i have to use Samsung USB cable and Apple's charger head to charge this phone up. Others won't work apparently. All i get is charging, then discharging, vice versa
I dismantled the phone also to see what might be the problem. Below the microusb slot on the pcb mainboard, theres abt 4-6 lines. It looks like small metal wire that doesnt move. But for some reason 1 of the lines were somewhat bronze or dark brown in colour. Any ideas?
Sent from my GT-I8150 using XDA Free mobile app
The same reason
Be sure this chip made for 0.5A not 1A which will cause that browny wire (more heated)
You should fix it or replace the chip
samsung charger output is 5v 0.7a.
one guy use 12v 1a, he got problem with charging his phone.

So as the title suggests I had a bad experiences with my htc 10. I upgraded or should I say side graded from my nexus 6p. (I'm gonna do the captain 2 phones life for a while) I promptly put my htc 10 to charge over night with my nexus 6p charger. Stupidly thinking it's USB C so what could go wrong. I woke up to a freeky hot htc that actually burned me before powering itself of. Probably a safety feature.
So the question is : does anybody know if there is a real difference between the two chargers and technologys?and what that differens means for the regular consumers. And should I be looking for a special type of cable or something, as I had to do when hunting for a second USB c cable to my nexus. Remember the whole debacle of the bad USB c cables on amazon.
Have I damaged my new htc in any way?
Side note is that it's working fine now that I charged it up again with the included charger.
Note to self: Use the HTC charger for awhile.
This is exactly why I only use the HTC charger to charge mine. Figured something like this would happen.

Pretty sure all phones will charge ungodly slow connected to a computer. USB2.0 outputs 5V 0.5A while USB3.0 outputs 5V 0.9A. It will be slower than any slow charger.
I have charged my 10 every single time with my OEM Nexus 6P charger (albeit with a i-Orange 6.6ft cable) and have had zero issues.
You don't need to stick with the HTC charger. The phones today decide hope much and when they want power. If the OP's charger has been working fine with his 6P then i see no reason why it would cause his 10 to overheat.
To the OP. You most likely have a defective 10. I would exchange it ASAP before something worse happens.

Not yet... That's what I'm a bit worried about. I'm not super happy with the battery life so far. I've narrowed it down to three options
1. I'm coming from the nexus 6p so it could just be that I'm used to a larger battery.
2. The htc is still in its first week of use, so the battery life may yet improve.
3. The affair with the nexus 6p charger damaged the battery in some way.

Do you have the quick charge option on your computer. My experience is that most phones are freeky slow when connected to a computer, if you some how can't tell the computer that's it should charge the device not just power it
Yea, something seems wrong there with the phone. Exchange it if you can, like someone said. I use my HTC charger at home, and an Anker branded cable in my car with an Anker quick charge car adapter and no problems at all even though it isn't an HTC product.

Yep, definitely a problem that folks need to be aware of. Bottom line, only use the charger that was supplied with the HTC 10. In fact, a warning about using only the HTC 10 charger is etched on the back of the device, although the print is tiny, but it's there.

HTC uses their own custom version of QuickCharge 3.0 or something like that from what I remember reading. It cannot just plug into any standard charger and work properly. It is really dumb, but that is most likely the cause of this serious issue. The HTC 10 also goes out of spec with higher voltage than USB-C allows for because of this custom setup HTC uses.
i have used aukey and anker cables and chargers for my G2, G5, and HTC10 without any issue + the HTC10 native stuff... no issues.
no negative affects charging or maintaining are charge, however i am comparing it to myself only.

They aren't using a custom setup.. They're using Quick Charge 3.0. Which Isn't compliant with the standard usb-c spec. Which essentially means, dont use a nexus 6p or pixel charger and thats it. There are far more devices out that are quick charge 3.0 compatible, and those are the accessories you want to look for. Not the usb-c spec. Any standard charger will actually work just fine. It's only the usb-c standard you would want to ignore. Literally every device manufacturer other then the current nexus lineup uses QC. It's more of a standard then the usb-c spec.

You'd need to account for every app that could've been running over night and eliminate those from the possible troublemakers before you could say it was a problem with the 6p cable which is in spec for usb-c.
you really wont notice right now if the overheat damaged the device if it still turns on. But lithium ion battery's dont like to get hot. they will start to degrade and the battery will hold less of a charge. you could RMA it because its under the manufacturer warranty but you will end up with a "refurbished" device. (you might get lucky and get a new due to how new the device is)
edit:
this is from a personal experience. i RMA'd 4 rezounds all 4 were "certified like new" (crap) before i went with insurance and they sent be a different device.
