Digitizer acting weird when charging.

Hi guys. Now I have to ask. Has anyone been experiencing weird behaviour with the touch screen when it's charging from the mains. Now the reason I ask is because I don't think it's a hardware fault for the reason my play does it too. So it would be too much of a coincidence that 2 different devices has the same problem.
I think it is to do with the firmware. But not entirely sure if I'm right. This is why I ask you guys to help me solve this little problem. If it is then I can look at the kernel and see if it's to do too high or too low voltages or if it's something else. You see. My play does it as well now they are both on DooMKernel and are bootloader unlocked. The play is test point way, and the arc s is the official way.
Now I will tell you exactly my issues and I want you guys if you have them and which ones happen most frequently. So.... When I plug the device into the main charger adapter I have the following issues.
Based on a scale of 1-5
1 being not so bad hardly ever
3 sometime
5 irritating and all the time
Trying to type and it will type a letter at the other end of the keyboard = 4
Playing games the controls spaz out on me = 5
Moving from side to side on the home screen or app drawer doesn't switch = 2
Clicking a widget at the top of the screen but the bottom one is activated = 1
Trying to open an app but have to click it 6-7 times before opening = 5
Typing completely spaz's out and typing is impossible = 2
And can't think of any more but if I do I will update op. Please tell me your faults. Now it only happens when mains charger is connected. Not USB or headphones or unplugged all together. Only mains charger. It's ok sometimes but then other times it can be really annoying. If it's happening it stops as soon as I remove the mains charger. Also I should add I'm on my own built stock Rom with DooMKernel v12 rooted BootLoader unlock official (arc s) O.C. to 1.6Ghz from 1.4Ghz. (Don't want to kill my CPU ).
So. Guys N Girls. Please post your knicky knacky problems here so to see if there is a solution we can all work together to fix these.
Regards

i had that aswell but when i updated to 2.3.4 it somehow disappeared. that doesnt really help but i just wanted to share my experience.

Sometimes after flashing a rom I get those issues, most often it seems like it registers a touch constantly e.g. On the dialler icon, or other times it constantly scrolls left. Never happened any other time though. There was an intermittent issue with the x10 like that though when charging.

No thats good. It shows it is fw related. If you had it on 2.3.3 then it might still be there for some on 2.3.4. Thanks

I have this problem too. 2.3.4 on .42 build.
When typing, the keyboard gets crazy. And when I hold the delete button, more letters are spawning.
I just leave the phone, because its annoying, 2-2.5 hours charging is not that long for me.
It happens on stock kernel. Im using doomkernel now and its still there.

Oh good for you
Still a problem to me, though.
Im on 2.3.4 .283 build before updating to .42 build.
Just wondering why it is still happening when others on .42 build have no issues.
Im using the supplied charger of the arc, not my x10's charger. Sigh.

That's the same as me. I was originally on customized .266 fw but now on .42 using my normal charger. And the satio business. Yes that explains my Mrs satio going all weird then. But if you guys can say if your bootloader unlocked or locked and how you unlocked it.
E.G. Fw .42 unlocked bootloader test point way or official way. Using original charger.

I did that, I also restored my kernel wiped the system and it is not even recognized by the computer anymore...

Mine did that the other day when I switched from rooted stock JB to CM10 preview builds.
I don't believe there is any correlation there, or that it's a software issue at all.
I blew out my USB port with compressed air at 90 psi; it works again.

is the port bent? try plugging it in and press slightly up from the underside of the cable.

USB port failing, common issue with Samsung phones. Changing ROMs/kernels won't help.

Oddly enough I took the battery out for an extended period and then I put it back in and now all works fine...should I look into getting a new phone do you think?:silly:

I noticed this happening to my wifes SGS2.. the way you fixed it is the exact thing that fixed hers... So I don't think a replacement will help much.

Problems with phone going into download made state while charging

I want to see if anyone could help me find out what is wrong here. I have tried several Roms and kernels and I have had issues in when the phone is charging overnite I wake up and find my phone in a download mode state, I mean it looks like the download mode screen and says something about power mode, and all I can do is to hold down power button and reboot and it works fine. It only happens while charging overnite. The only Rom that I have have not experienced it with is blackjelly v6, so I dont think its the phone, but I would like some input. Thanks in advance.

I had this same problem on my gs2 it was my charger. Make sure your using the one that came with it or try a different one
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium

I'll try that. But what I don't understand is that this only happens with any ROM other than black jelly which i have been using without problems, but any other ROM and the problem arises.
sent from my SGS S 3 powerhouse

Haven't experienced any issues like that even with my custom ROM. I use LG wall charger for overnight charging. Try zxrider06's suggestions then we'll see where we can go from there. Good luck!

I'll try that, but for now I'll stick with black jelly. Thanks for the suggestions.

Note 2 slow charging

Hi guys..I bought this phone a couple day ago..And everything was great..He was charging very fast,but this morning i woke up and he was on 15%..And he is charging about 1% in couple minutes..Why? :S
I use search but :S

Samsung´s USB cable die very often. Try another original cable

Are you using the original charger? It's a big battery and needs a powerful charger, at least 2Ah(like the original).

Yeah this is old original cable..Can I use S3 charger? Or cable from some another phone?

Check with Galaxy Charging. Should be 1600-1800mA average. Lower than that the cable might be faulty.
Use 5-pin micro USB cable, 4-pin often causes problems.

I found 5-pin cable in the house so i will try it..And one more question,i don't wan't to open another thread..
I have 4.1.2 official..I bought this phone couple days ago..And i don't have upgrade to 4.3 :S I saw that there is official 4.4 for Note 2?

You can fix this, not too safe but I use it all the time and works.
You need your phone to be rooted of course,
If you are on TouchWiz ROM, install Nadia kernel (found in original android development section) or AGNi kernel If on aosp
Then download trickster mod for kernel options, go to charging control and enable "ignore unstable power detection" and apply .
This way you should charge at fastest possible.
And yes there is 4.4.2 official ..
if you don't want to root or do any of my things, you need to get better cable/charging place, etc.

[Q] Rooted, ROM'd > Only works plugged in > ODIN to Stock > Problem Remains

I recently rooted/rom'd my phone I was running the Alliance ROM for about a month. Yesterday the problem began:
-Unplugged, dies then boot loops the NOTE 2 logo
--can get it to recovery just fine
---I wiped and reinstalled Alliance, still continued
Next I Odin to stock via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2780984. Odin'd ok. Runs fine as log as its plugged in.
-Still, Unplugged, dies then boot loops the NOTE 2 logo
-New issue, red x on Sprint Signal.
If it stays plugged in its fine. Seems like it could be a battery/hardware issue. Any ideas? Seems like I've seen this issue before from others. Can't find anything though.
Edit: Now reboots while plugged in, will actually boot to home screen through.

99% sure your battery is the issue.

Also, I'm using the charger that came with my wife's Galaxy S4. For some reason I think the charger is part to blame. Evidence is inconclusive though.

Rarely is it the charger that causes an issue. The main cause is age. This device has been out for a long time. Even if you purchased the device new today it is possible that parts of it were made a year or two ago.
If you know someone that has a note 2 try using their battery to see if it changes anything. If not a new battery is a cheap purchase although do suggest buying a name brand replacement. Those super cheap one can cause more issues.
