[Q] Strange behavior while charging

My issue does not seem to be specific to any one rom, I have flashed nearly all of them. When I try to use my phone while it is charging, the touch screen is slow to respond or extremely laggy. I use the stock USB cable and AC adapter.
Does anyone else experience this?

Hi. Did you do a search 1st ? No, because this has been answered before. Next time don't be afraid to go thru some pages and do a search before posting a redundant question. Thanks.

I did try to do a search, but the search field disappears when I try to use it on my tablet. Ever time the android keyboard comes up, the search field goes away. Could you kindly direct me to the correct post.

I finally was able to search the threads when I switched to my phone.(it had charged enough to unplug out and use) From what I gather, it is a result of a built in feature on this Samsung phone used to eliminate "ghost touches"
This doesn't help the fact that it is annoying and counterproductive when I am trying to read xda posts while at work.

people can be meanies on here. xda search isn't the greatest thing. But it could be that the charger is faulty. Probably need a new one. T-mobile could supply you one through warranty for free. Try to ask for the cable and battery too while you're at it. they're all covered.

Thanks, I'll give TMO a call. Worst case scenario is that I'll get a new charger. I agree about people bring pricks on here, I see it every day in the dev section. I just thought I could post in Q A without getting grief.

It's not super clear what the issue is. Some people say that the issue goes away when not using the stock Samsung charger, some say the issue is a grounding issue. I personally have experienced this issue in the lock screen and it'll take like 5 tries to unlock but outside of the lock screen I don't have issues with general usage. Rest assured it's not a faulty phone, or even a faulty charger.

I experience the exact same symptoms from lock screen. However, there is also a lag in responsiveness even after it finally unlocks. I'll give my wifes my touch 4g slide's charger a go. Thanks for the suggestion.

Sony MN2 smartwatch

I have ordered one. Wanted to know if someone has used it with Galaxy S3?
Using it since last two days. All is good. Using it after fully charging and after about 28hours watch battery is about 70%, although my phone battery is bow draining much quicker.
One problem that I am having is that it will some how loose connection and won't connect then unless I unpair and pair again.
That happens about once or twice in a day.
Still testing and keep you guys update..........
Well as days have passed my smartwatch is now working more better but battery draining on the phone side is still a worry (maybe it's just cause now I have continuous Bluetooth connectivity)
Well for me all is working good and only thing I miss is more add-ons but then more add-ons require more syncing that will make battery drain more and the smartwatch get slow.
The connection lost problem I mentioned before is not here now but still sometimes my smartwatch gets dc and then reconnects again ( I think that's only cause the smartwatch app is killed by taskmanager on my phone)
All n all. Its working great for now and I am really enjoying it. It's more easier to keep my phone silent now and still easily knot miss a call.
Any good add ons links are appreciated

Interesting. I hear different opinions. Thanks for the info. I will read more of it later.
Sent from my SGSIII with the XDA Premium App

it does work well i have personally used one for months
the only issue i have is charging it can be a pain because of the connector.

Im leaning more toward the Pebble Watch once it release's or maybe the Metawatch By Fossil.

I'm very interested in the Galaxy Watch, but I'd be more tempted to go third party, just because Anyone have any suspicions that the Galaxy will be the game changer, or more of the same?

[Q] Rattle around camera

Is the rattle sound I hear near the camera housing on my S3 normal? Everything seems to be working fine. Just making sure and asking here since this is the only place where I can get real answers.
Thank you all,
AJ

That doesn't sound normal to me... there is no noticeable rattle on either of the Galaxy S III's I have access to. How long have you had the phone for?

about 5 months. My old S2 had it too. Someone told me a long time ago that it was the Auto Focus and that it was normal on it.

On my moto photon the lens rattles. If you start the camera app it stops.

So this would be considered normal then? I'm hoping so LOL.

I just double checked, my old Galaxy S II LTE (aka Skyrocket) has a noticeable rattle when you shake it but I'm not hearing it on the S III (perhaps it's more subdued?). A quick Google search however shows that several other people have experienced the same thing and the general consensus seems to be that it's nothing to worry over.

[Q] People Can’t hear owner when in a call

I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 about a month ago. Last week I began having a problem with the phone. When a call comes in, whether I make it or if its incoming, I can hear the person on the other end fine but they can’t hear me. I turned the volume all the way up and that hasn’t worked. It is not the area I’m in, because it has happened in different areas.
Do you have any solutions to this?

Wifi calling? Are you rooted and non stock?
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

I had the same issue. I was never able to fixed or the tmobile store. We change the mic several times and nothing. So I got an ear blue tooth and forgot about it. If you put it on Speaker works perfectly.

I had an issue that was similar, but not the same. When I was at home on wifi and answered calls, I could hear the caller but they couldn't hear me (said there was weird squeaking noise or something). Answering calls when not on wifi gave me no issues, but my apartment is a total dead-zone so I really need wifi calling.
I just fixed it today actually by doing two things: turning OFF power saving mode, and turning off the voice control that deals with answering calls and such. I'm not sure if just one or both of those steps were necessary, but wow, F power saving mode! I thought my phone was pretty fast before, but w/ power saving mode off it just absolutely blazes. I've had pretty awesome battery life on 4.3 Tweaked ROM w/ Saber kernel, so I don't think I'll mind a battery hit in exchange for the ridiculous performance I'm seeing.
Back to your problem, I've heard of people solving issues by cleaning the microphone with a toothpick or something. Are you able to use the mic for voice recording or voice commands or anything? If you're having a hardware problem with the mic, an exchange might be necessary.

If it's a hardware defect, you could get a replacement for that.

Just lost speaker.. Anyone?

Hey all, I have a i317 that I have been running on slim fast 4.4 very happy last 2 years. Yesterday I lost the speaker in the phone.
Now it could be hardware, but I have reasons to believe it's not.
Tone picker stopped working and if I do a restore it does work again but has lost all my tone settings.
I have run all tests I could think of. Headphones work, Mic works, earpiece works but no matter what I try I cannot get any sound from speaker.
Should I try and return the phone to factory ROM before taking it to see about a hardware repair??
I own this phone I am not on a plan, so not sure if a repair is worth it.

Just to keep anyone who was reading informed. I have sent it off to get the loud speaker repaired. Quoted $60. Hopefully that works.
I did restore the phone back to the most recient stock.. and in case anyone was interested that did not reset my LOCK CARRIER OR THE AWS mod.
