[Q] Unresponsive screen while charging? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Got a Vibrant yesterday, installed Vibrant9, going to do the lagfix soon... I noticed, however, that when the phone is charging the screen is completely unresponsive. Like, it won't even register sweep to unlock. Other than that everything runs perfect and snappy quick... I can't believe I haven't even got the lagfix yet.
So yeah. Wondering if anyone knows how to fix this... not like it's a HUGE deal, I tend to charge overnight anyhow. But I'd like to fix this if anyone knows how.
Thanks!

Yeah this happens to mine when I tried a third party charger that wasn't meant for the vibrant. Quickly unplugged my phone and threw that thing away.

same is happening to me with a 3rd party microusb charger on my desire, if i try to pinch to zoom, while charging, the screen goes crazy

same here, i got a 3rd party charger from amazon, same thing. It was a combo deal where the cord is actually for a blackberry, but the charger is supposed to be for whatever the vibrants requirement is. In addition it came with a car adapter as well (you're supposed to use the same cord). This problem does NOT exist when charging in my car, just with the wall charger adapter.

Plug In And It Becomes Slow

When I plug the bolt and use it, the touch screen and keyboard become VERY sluggish!
I unplug and everything works great. Is this a know issue?
Should I replace it?
This is not a good thing.
Are you using an aftermarket charger? Certain 3rd party chargers can cause issues like that. It used to happen on my Incredible. It made the touchscreen almost non-responsive.
It does this for me also, I've noticed it on all chargers I have tried (blackberry charger, Droid charger, and the HTC charger... granted they are all microusb, so I don't know why one would be different then others)
i wanted to post this before cuz i was experiencing this too. im using the stock HTC charger and cable that came with the phone. i hate when it does this. makes me not even wanna text while its charging. i have multiple keyboards on my TB and i mostly use the stock HTC keyboard but i try every keyboard but its still all sluggish and slow

X2 almost unresponsive when plugged in

Does anybody else have an issue with their X2 when it's plugged in to either the wall or computer of the screen not responding like normal thus rendering the phone completely useless while charging? It doesn't happen every time, but probably 35% of the time which is still more than it should. And it's not just my phone either, my wife's X2 does it as well and all 3 of the X2's I've had have done it on both stock and eclipse.
Just wondering if anyone else has ran into this issue.

I believe the charger is to blame not comlatible. Not every charger is setup with same pins or wattage... if ur mis-matching equipment.
MIUI X2
I have noticed this. With mine the keyboard becomes sluggish and the lockscreen is hard to unlock. I have eclipse now and it hasn't done that yet.

I have five different USB cables and they all work fine. I've never seen this issue before. Weird!
Sometimes mine does this not sure what causes it. Seems like phone is usually warm when it does. maybe it gets too warm with screen and charging at same time. i have had it happen with every ROM even stock.

I've used my old Crackberry charger along with my usb cord for the cpu, car and wall chargers. Havent had this problem. Strange......
Today it hasn't happened on the same cable at work.
Mine doesn't seem to take issue with any specific charger or cable except for one which is the one that was sent with my wife's phone from verizon, screws both of them up, and it's a moto charger with the same voltage/amperage as the other moto ones, but it has a 9 ft cable.
Tapped from my Eclipsed X2
Interesting it has happened on vz provided chargers. Do theyhave the Moto M on them, or sonething else?
Mine specifically is 5.1V~850mA. Has a USB cable. Has a port we can plug a cable into.
I'd be curious what everyone else has. I wouldn't think it's the cable itself but working in technology, I've seen stranger things.

It could be one of two things, either:
1. you're using a usb cable with a broken data pin.
2. you're using a charger that doesn't output enough current.
the problem lies in a lack of available current in a certain charging state, a "fast charge" if you will. you get either not a high enough sustained supply voltage, or "dirty" power (essentially a little AC in your DC) and that really screws with the capacative touchscreen.
with a bad cable, the phone thinks it's plugged into a charger and not a usb port so it will try to draw up to 850ma from a port that can only feed 500ma if you're lucky.
with a bad charger, or one incapable of supplying the required current, you get "DC ripple" where your voltage fluctuates up to half a volt or more, 60 times every second. generally your phone will get very warm under this condition as well.
so it could be a cable, a charger or a combination of both.
some car chargers are notorious for making dirty power... so are some cars...

Oddly enough I have zero problems with the car chargers, the phones work fine when plugged into them.
Yeah the newest cable is one that is USB and 9 ft long but not moto one that verizon sent with my wife's phone. The moto one that came with mine an the two moto ones I got from Amazon I don't have any issue with but the cables are so stinking short they are a pita to use anyway (2' cables).
I've also noticed that the USB ports on different computers charge at different rates as well. My work computer will barely charge the phone and sometimes can't even maintain the battery level if I'm using it. My laptop at home charges it pretty good but you can't use the phone because you get the screen issue again.
Tapped from my Eclipsed X2
Yeah, I have had this same issue for quite some time and after reading this forum tonight I tried a new charger and BAM, problem fixed! I had thought it was my phone, but it was definitely the charger. The one I was using was the Verizon 9ft charger they send out with replacement phones. Model: B141000. Black with green on the back. Gave my wife my charger that came with the DX2 to take to work and use because I liked this big long cord. So for months now whenever I tried to use the phone while it was charging it lagged so bad I would have to continuously unplug it and plug it back in when I was finished. Needless to say, having a text conversation when battery was almost dead was really annoying...
So when I read this post tonight I went up and grabbed my old Samsung charger from my old Samsung Fascinate and sure enough it worked just fine... No lag what so ever. So I am guessing it is an issue with the DX2 and the generic Verizon charger they send with replacement phones not being compatible...
Furthermore just as a test I just tried the actual 9ft USB cord with the Samsung plug you plug into the outlet and its still working fine... So I assume its the Verizon plug part not putting put enough voltage or something. Pretty happy that I can seemingly still use my 9ft cord! So if you have a spare plug I would say give it a try!

HTC One X iBolt Charging Car Dock (fits w/ case)

i was shopping for a oem Car dock that would work with our phones but also fit any case i wanted to put in the dock so heres the solution im ordering mine this week
http://www.amazon.com/iBolt-Vehicle-Car-Mount-Dock/dp/B008B0WNA6
Did you get it? How did it work out?

I've seen this one on amazon, Kidigi usually makes good quality stuff and - as it looks - comes with the insert as well so it could be used w and w/o case
http://www.amazon.com/Car-Charger-M...2&keywords=kidigi+charging+car+dock+htc+one+x
...comparison with the price of the iBolt ...looks like the same device to me.
I've had the iBolt car dock for a few days now, and it's working fine. It's a little clunky compared to my old Atrix car dock. I don't have a case on my phone, and the clamp on the top seems to sit on top more than grab it, but the phone is snug in there.

Have you had any charging issues with yours?
When it goes into car mode and navigation is on, it barely charges if at all.
I spoke with iBolt and they are sending me a new one. Hopefully this resolves the issue.
I am still curious if anyone else is having this issue.

The issue isn't the charger but the USB cable not being shorted to put phone into AC charging. Pins 4&5 need to be shorted to allow this to happen. I ordered two of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007F1DV76/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
to go along with this http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008B2EFA0/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00
and has allowed me to use the HOX+ for hours of navigation and still charge the phone.
For car dock I use this: http://www.slipgripcarmounts.com/SlipGrip-Vent-Holder-For-HTC-ONE-X-S720E-Using-Seidio-Surface-Case_p_130568.html
I agree that the ibolt is a little clunky but i love it. Its really sturdy. It stays in the position you locked it down at. It's easy to dock the phone with 1 hand. I havent noticed any charging issues but i'll keep an eye on that now that you mentioned it.
interesting
and to think i was going to try and mod my Atrix toys to see if i could make them work.. .this looks way easier, wonder why they dont include the proper cable in the first place or if there are any other docks similar

Hello,
Well it's been quite some time but I didn't wanna open a new thread for this.
I'm using the iBolt dock for my HOX for quite some time and as told above it charges really really slow.
You might say it is caused by the cable, makes sense, but the charger I use to connect the iBolt is the geniune HTC car charger, which does charge the phone pretty fast.
Also, I exit car mode when I don't need it and turn the screen off in order to charge more, but it randomly and frequently turns the phone on. Sometimes just the Android homescreen but sometimes it re-launches the car app too. I was planning to call iBolt for this but I do not have much hope for getting detailed information about the output (actually the USB pin design) since there is no information about this on the web sites.
Can anyone confirm that it supports fast (normal) charging? It becomes useless beacuse of this issue.
You can easily check for yourself. While the phone is docked in-car, do the following: Settings>Power>verify that phone reports "Charging, (AC). If phone does not say this then you are in-fact charging at 500mA. The i-dock/HTC Charger must be capable of providing enough current to charge at 1A and phone must state it's in AC charging. If this is not the case, your phone will discharge while being used in-car.
I had the same issue of non-charging when I first got my phone in December. My research led me to the solution I previously posted. I do not use car-mode since the only app I use while driving is Waze. I hope this helps.

Late thanks =)
After writing that message it came to me too and checked it, though it was saying that it is AC charging but I can swear to anything, whether car mode or screen is on, or not, it is not charged in 1000mA mode.. When I directly charged it with the genuine charger, it was fine.
So bought a 2amp car charger, and used its cable, and it works fine now.
May be, the genuine HTC charger CABLE and the iBolt are not quite friendly with each other. I remember Nokia's not launching PC Suite when it was not a genuine Nokia cable, may be a trick like that. iBolt does not like genuine cables or genuine cable does not like oem "sockets"

[Q] Damage to Z Ultra from Magnetic Charger?

Hey, I just got my Z Ultra less than a week ago and I purchased http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JEN5S6A/
I figured it would be easier to use then undoing the charging flap every time.
When I was trying the tip out without being connected to the charger I noticed the magnet was strong but didn't sit in the connector properly..
After looking at some other magnetic chargers online I saw some of them being plugged in upside down so I tried that and it sat in the port better.
When the phone was extremely low on batter (4 percent) I plugged the charger into the tip and put it on upside down. At first the phone restarted so I thought hmm thats weird and unplugged it, I then tried again and made sure it sat in the port snug and my phone turned off and wouldnt turn on again.. After about 15 minutes of the phone charging with no sign of led or charging symbol I found online to try the reset button and it finally turned on. I did some searching online and found out that the port isn't really meant for a magnetic charger but a dock and what I experienced was inverse connection.
So i am wondering if this could have possibly damaged the phone or battery in any way? I dont know if my battery life has been affected or stayed the same as it was the second day of having the phone..
Sorry for the long rant but I would appreciate any input. Thanks
You're not the first one to do a "reverse charging", and I believe that it will or can damage your device. The magnetic connector is made for the Sony DK30 dock, which costs around $30.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00EC...200_QL40&qid=1404599682&sr=8-1#ref=mp_s_a_1_1
The thing with using accessories like you do, is that it's not a genuine product by Sony, so any damage done by say, a no-name charger like you're using, won't be covered by the warranty. If your Ultra catches fire in the middle of the night and you're using a " fake" charger, well tough luck. Sony won't cover that.
I would use a "fake" charger if the Ultra had a removable battery, in case it got damaged, but it doesn't, so you're really playing with fire right now.
Well to be honest I did not know the charger wasn't made for that until I experienced that. I've ordered the dk30 dock online as the sony store near me did not carry it but was wondering if I should be concerned with what already happened and get my phone swapped as it's still within return policy..?

i bought a aftermarket magnetic charging cable, plugged reversely and same as yours, couldnt turn on until i pressed the reset button to make the led lit when charging, waited a few hours plugged to the usb sony charger, led turned out normal. just when i thought it was fine again i noticed whenever i turned it off it turned itself on again and boot loop until i pressed the reset button to make it really off, plus, when it hit 15% battery life on the indicator on notification bar, it dropped 2% per second, yes, per second, and phone died. returned it and waiting for replacement.
see if yours has those symptoms, i think reverse charging does damage to the battery or the phone, see the shape of the tips of the charging port different, there may be a reason behind it.
edit: the reason i tried plugging the magnetic cable reversely was while i plugged it in normal direction, it showed its charging while it wasnt, thats y, and it was a cheap aftermarket one, i ended up buying a official dk30 from sony store

I have a Magnetic Charger - and I too experienced the shut down when I tried it upside down once.
I'm using a generic charger and haven't experienced any issues for months - just make sure to use it correctly.

Im sure there has been one that the charger was the wrong polarity I think, and another where it was misused, that ended up with near dead batteries
I accidentally connected the charger in reverse, well the port is now dead. The phone thinks it's charging but the charger light never comes on and GSAM shows no increase in charge. At least the USB port still works.

Thank you very much for the warning. After reading this thread I was thinking that Sony should have keyed the connector to only plug in one orientation. I looked at my magnetic charger and that is indeed the case. One opening is round and one is oval, so the round opening will not fit over the oval contact on the phone. I guess the issue is the quality of the magnetic charger cable - a cheap one still may allow contact. The key is that the contacts on the cable are recessed into the housing so that the housing must fit over the posts on the phone before contact is made.
why in the name of all that is holy does the connector even allow for being plugged in the wrong way???
Cheap Chineese knockoffs. JUST DON'T BUY THEM.
Sony should have just gone with induction charging but oh well. As cheap as the GPe is right now, I'll just buy another one.

I just found this thread after plugging in my magnetic adapter in backwards. I have been using it for almost 6 months with no problem, and then this past Friday, I sat down at my desk and grabbed the charger and stuck it on without looking, and the phone shut off. You know the rest, now the magnetic port is done, and the screen will either keep coming back on while charging, or shut off and not come back on unless I force it off with Power + Vol + key. This sucks. I don't think I will get another Sony since it was so easy to kill it. Great big screen though, I will miss it.

You're right, it was some cheap Chinese magnetic adapter, and true, I can't blame Sony for that. I guess I have gotten accustomed to buying any cheap microUSB cable or even headphone I can find, and using it on my phone without a second thought. I think that's why all of us who have messed up our phones with these bad magnetic adapters didn't stop to think we were putting our phone at risk. It was just another cheap accessory. I guess I have learned my lesson to be more careful what I stick into my next phone.
Be careful of where you purchase the dock as well; I purchased the DK 30 dock on eBay, and after about a month, started having problems charging. One day, it wouldn't charge on the dock at all.
Saw that the right pin in the dock has one of the plastic surrounds which broke off, which I assume is the culprit of the problem.
So off I went, this time Amazon, to order another dock, which works, using it now to charge my mobile phone.

Fire!
I almost killed my phone! Aside from upside-down, I was using an apple 2.4a charger - it burned the side out of the phone, and melted the cable right off the connector - in fact - the melting-off probably saved me - house filled with smoke etc. It did the mad re-start loop thing for about half an hour (my guess - there's a temp sensor in there which was tripping our because of the heat), but to my amazement, even with the side melted to death, the phone now still seems to work OK for me (probably not including the "waterproof" feature anymore).
Was super lucky it didn't burn the house down. What kind of idiot manufacturer doesn't put a polarity bridge on their reversable socket!?!?!?!

Just to echo all of the previous posters - had the same issue as well.
My experience played out as follows:
* Got phone - over joyed since recently price reductions for such a high quality product meant approx USD290.
* Realise the flaps are a bit annoying so after 1 week; get magnetic charger. Seems to work at office
* Get another for home. After try two times; connect but not charge. connect in reverse. Phone shuts off immediately.
* PANICK - for next 30 minutes try the little red button, power switch + (combinations). Nothing helps
* eventually just plug into USB port and pray. After another 20 minutes get blinking red LED. But still doesn't boot
* another 20 minutes ago- solid LED; it boots! still at original percentage battery.
* now have strange problem - without anything plugged in; the phone can't boot properly, get repated SONY logo followed by power off and loop. CPU gets hot.
* If plug in USB - get styled battery icon; and when booting... IT WORKS.
* If close to fully charge (>90%) screen keeps on activating now when charging.
* to rub salt in the wound; the original magnetic charger at work doesn't seem to charge anymore (ie magnetic charger port dead).
Since it is a 3 week old phone, have lots of mixed feelings now. It was REALLY great purchase for the price and happy with it at first. but now I feel like I have a damaged product. feel quite upset.
I know buying cheap USB charger was the problem; but for SONY to have something so critical and vulnerable makes me wary as well. Initlally happy with phone (came from Galaxy Note camp) but now just wary of the phones.

I am facing the same problem. My magnetic charging port is now dead ( charging led lights up but the doesn't charged the battery. battery level goes down ). I have changed the magnetic charging port, but still behaves the same. Do you think changing the charging flex will make it work ? because if the magnetic charging port is damaged from motherboard itself, then there is no point changing the flex...
Appreciate your reply.
Thanks !

[Q] Fast charging not working

I tried to charge my S6 Edge with the Samsung fast charger that comes in the box but noticed that it charges my phone really slowly. When I plugged my M7's charger to the S6, it showed an estimated 2hr charge time, but when I connected the fast charger, it showed a 5hr estimated charge time. I noticed that it was taking forever to charge.
Anybody else seen this issue? What should be my steps to get it replaced? I bought the phone from BestBuy.
Thank you.
can you post screenshot?
Does it show "fast charging" along with the 5 hours time or not? If it does is probably the charger. If it doesn't it probably the phone. Take it back to best buy to verify.
I have one "Advanced Fast Charger" that will not inspire either of my two S6 Edge phones to report that they are fast-charging.
The other three I have all will, and with all four cables.
The one that won't, doesn't no matter which of the four cables is used.
I contacted Samsung and got an RMA for it. Even though I gave them the part-number for the accessory travel-charger, they insisted that I go to the "menu" on the charger and give them a six-digit code.
I suggested several times that the charger had no menu, but the (web-chat person) kept asking for it. Finally I told them the menu on the charger wasn't working either so I couldn't give them their 6-digit code, and that seemed to be enough for them to issue the RMA.
They tell me that it will take about two weeks to get it replaced. But that's OK, because my S6 Edge phone stopped auto-rotating today (two days after my 14-day window to return it) and that will also take two weeks to "repair" - so I won't be needing the charger anyway.
GO SAMSUNG!

I notice this when I use the fast vehicle charger from Verizon that is specifically meant to be used with this phone. It sometimes tells me 6 hour until full and then randomly it will display "fast charging" like it is supposed to and like it does when I use the wall charger. No rhyme or reason to it. Sometimes, it fast charges and sometimes it doesn't. I know it has to do with whether the phone is in use and if the screen is on, so I turned the phone off to test and it still didn't fast charge. Any ideas??
