Display Problem when charging - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I wonder if someone has the same problem on his X10.
Almost everytime when I am charging the phone through AC i am not able to use my phone!
It just acts like CRAZY! When you try to slide thorugh the desktops, try to open an app etc. the phone simply does whatever it wants! It opens apps, it slides the notification bar down and all this at a really high speed!
Contacted Sony a month ago about this, but of course NO response on this!

Tell us more info like: R u running any ROMS or what firmware r u running from se? This could b a hardware issue or a ROM issue, software issue.

This same thing happened to me with a cheap charger from eBay. Would I be right in guessing you are not using the official charger?
It does not occur with all 3rd party chargers though, I have used others that work perfectly.

Hey thanks for the quick responses! I am using stock firmware 2.1.A.0.435...arc launcher...so nothing special I guess..
My charger is an original sony one...I have another one though so I can use this one and see if its a charger issue..

Have u tried flashing a new firmware from se with flashtool from the x10 android developement section.
You can also try the se software SEUS on the computer and hit the repair button on the update option.
Both ways will delete all data on phone though. But could make your phones software start fresh

Hey there! I had the problem before I flashed my phone with the flash tool and the latest sony update aswell...
Everything is fine when i charge through PC or Car, so either there is something wrong with the AC charger or....seriusly i dont know...

Check your charger voltage out put, usually it MUST remain like 3.6-3.7 volts, more than that you gonna have that happend.
last time im try to modify my charger to make it more efficient by using the 3rd party unofficial cheap n lousy charger, and i try it, more than or less than 3.6-7 (if im not mistaken, its a long time ago), then your capacitive screen will sense the leak electric then it just go like ghost finger.
In short, check your charger voltage again, it must be precise in certain amount of voltage, cannot too much or less.

Hi just measured the voltage output and it is 5.20 volts
What Do you thing? I thing its ok since the pc is also giving 5 Volts

display problem while charging (BST-80)
I have got it the same with my X10 mini and my new charger that I bought today - BST-80 (original SE).
My stock SE charger that came out of the box with the phone was EP800 (5V, 850 mA), but it looks to be damamged or defective (some weak noise I can hear going out of there).
This new one BST-80 is 5V, 700 mA. But I do not think that it can have anything related to 700mA vs.850mA (this should be related just to the time of charging from empty to full - 700mA should last longer than 850mA).
Anyway, I am also quite frightened of what it does to my phone. The touch screen looks to behave totally confusing. Once I unplug the charger, everything gets right again. Then I plug in again and the confusion comes again. So weird.
I have never experienced this with my former charger for whole one year of use. Both of them are original SE.
Mate, did it damage your phone in the end or not?? Did you solve anyhow?? Thanks.

Hi,yes I "accidentally" used a micro usb Motorola charger ,one that has its cord attached and you can't remove it like the SE ones and I haven't had any issues at all!It seems like it has been a charger problem after all!A real weird one though! I have 3 different chargers and all caused the same problem!I've tried my girlfriends x10mini with my charger and it caused the same problem!
Now I am good with the Motorola one!;-) Hope it will work for you as well!
Sent from my Iphone-KILLER/cracked [email protected],2Ghz/woooooohh suck on this biatch!!

I returned that SE charger back to the shop and waited for another piece, which would not be defective. Anyway, the new piece had the very same issue with the touch-screen. But in the meantime I tried out another micro-USB chargers from that shop - LG and Nokia. They did not have the "touch-screen" issue. But I ended also with Motorola charger, as the best choice of them. This one doesn't seem to have any issue - touch-screen works fine while charging, it doesn't produce the "buzz" sound like some another chargers do, moreover it has also 850 mA, which is the highest current I encountered while trying those chargers (they had only like 550 mA, 700 mA, etc.). So I am quite satisfied in the end. Thanks.

charging drastically slows the phone down

It's mainly with the wall charger. I have an adapter to use my car charger in the wall. I'm not sure why it slows the phone down. Texting especially a nightmare.
The original charger provided with the phone, or some cheap eBay/China one?
Not the original charger. It's a vz one though
Try the original one. Some aftermarket ones have poor filtering, and will cause problems. Most often noticed as a jumpy touchscreen, but other issues, too. If it works fine on the original, get Verizon to exchange theirs (test the replacement in the store) or return it.
I think it may be this adapter
You didn't accidentally set a low set CPU profile did you?

It doesn't matter if it's a VZW car charger, you are using some no-name cheaply made in China POS adapter. This is definitely the reason you are having problems when it is plugged in.
That's what I'm thinking. I may have to get a new adapter because I don't want this to affect my battery life in the long run

Get the actual HTC one, any of this cheap knockoff crap could be killing the battery.
Same thing here....original VZW charger that came with the phone.
is it just that the touch screen isn't responsive but the phone still runs fine? i have this issue with the original HTC charger so i'm using the one from my moto droid and it doesn't have any problems.
Same issue here. Phone slows down drastically when charging, especially when trying to type on the touch screen. Using original wall charger and cord that came in the box.
The whole system slows down. The keyboard doesn't respond, it takes forever to answer a call etc. I have to unplug it if I'm gonna constantly be using it. I thought it was the adapter, but after seeing everyone else's comments, I'm not too sure anymore

do apps run smoothly? something like angry birds is good to test with this. even if it's hard to play, you can see if the app itself runs normally or slow.
i also have problems with some keys (keyboard) while not charging, the key will stop working and after either typing another word or pressing the key plenty of times, it'll be normal again for a while.
taintphuck: you can try getting the charger replaced first, see if that fixes it.

Super laggy while charging

So i never noticed this before rooting my phone, but ever since i have rooted it, ive been on about 20 diff roms and finally landed on CM7. when i charge my phone through USB its fine. But if i plug my phone up to my wall charger, my phone decides its going to lag like crazy... I cannot type at all, screen is very un responsive, i have to hit a letter and press down for a good second or 2. ive googled this issue up and down for days and no one has an answer that i can find. has anyone had this issue? if so what have u done to fix it? its super annoying.
If you have your CPU settings where your phone ramps down real low when the temperature is high then that could be the cause. Using your phone while its charging will make it quite toasty.
right now the CPU settings are just as they come stock on CM7 i dont know how to adjust any of that
If you wiped data/cache, performed a completely fresh install of CM7 including the stock kernel, don't have any underclocking or Profile apps (tasker, etc) that change anything on a wall-charge event, and you are still seeing the problem, my guess would be that you aren't using the factory usb-to-wall adapter or the one you have is damaged. This may not be true in your case but I know that using 3rd party chargers causes performance problems (including touchscreen lag) on some devices.
I was having this problem too up until recently. I have been experimenting with setcpu and discovered a change in settings that for me has drastically helped. Open setcpu and click on the advanced tab. Change your sampling rate to 10,000. This causes your cpu to more frequently determine what kind of load its under and ramp up/down accordingly. Next change your up threshold to something in the range of 50. This lowers the threshold at which your cpu ramps up/down. Since applying these settings I have found my phone is substantially more snappy both when plugged in and unplugged. Best of luck
Are you using a cheap, Chinese charger for the phone by any chance (AC charger)
I had a cheap one for my old blackberry...same issue.
Scrapped it and only use HTC chargers now, bought a second one to have at work.
Just throwin' it out there.
I'm stock and my phone does the same.
i had this same problem a while back and turn out it was the outlet i was using. it had a short somewhere and was sending way to much power to my phone. try it on a different outlet
Maybe it's just me, but all of my HTC phones seemed laggy when charging. Just an annoyance for texting, but it makes games just impossible. I haven't really noticed it when running CM7 roms, but I may have just gotten used to it

[Q] HTC Amaze Stock Charger and Battery Issues

My HTC Amaze will not hold a charge. I am using the stock included USB Wall plug and the Micro EXT 12 Pin Cable which only comes with the AMaze (it is also included with the Flyer Tablet). When I first plug in the phone to charge the charge light blinks orange for five minutes and then remains solid. When I return hours later the light is totally out (no green indicator light showing a full charge which I used to get). When I try to turn on the phone the Screen flashes for a split second but nothing happens.
I tried to troubleshoot by swapping in my HTC Sensation battery and that does power up the AMAZE. I have now switched the included Amaze charger with the one that came with the HTC Sensation. The orange power light comes on immediately although it only blinked with the other charger. I am worried that maybe the Power adapter is frying my batteries.
Does anyone know if these included chargers share the same specifications for the Sensation, Amaze etc??? Anyone else experience this problem??
The only thing I can think of is your version of Recovery. I know that the phone will not charge while it is turned off if you have not flashed the most recent version that includes the fix for this problem. Try turning the phone on and then plugging it in to the charger.

Is there a fix for this problem? Does the version of recovery affect the phones ability to charge when its turned off?
either recovery or faulty battery! what happens when you put amaze battery in to sensation?
HTC Amaze Battery
When I put the HTC amaze battery into the Sensation and try to charge it the light blinks. Then after 5 minutes goes solid orange. After hours the light shuts off and I unplug it and try to power up but NOTHING. Dead. I purchased two Anker batteries, tried to charge them in Sensation. One works fine but cannot be charged in the HTC Amaze. I have even tried it with both the White Amaze USB cable and both the HTC Amaze included charger and the Sensation included charger. ( I believe they are the same model). Could it be the USB connection is somehow not allowing the phone to charge?
Doesnt HTC warranty the battery for any period of time???

I heard that the Battery is a big issue on this phone.... can someone tell me if they fixed it with updates or is it still a problem because i really love the camera on this one and im really loving the design but there were other statements abt poor reception in some areas which leaves me in doubt.... Bottom line should i go for Galaxy s 2 over this???

After rooting and using custom roms I don't think there is any battery issues. IMO Battery life is great.

Tell me something, what is it that really drains the battery on the Amaze? Is it the 4G? Thing is, my device would be on WiFi for the majority of the day. I've seen some apps where you can auto switch network based on proximity. So I'd only be using 3G/4G while I'm in transit.
Also, is there a way to disable 3G/4G so as to only get EDGE?

When I walk in my house, my WiFi comes on and 4g turns off... No special app... I think its a feature of the ROM I use. Sometimes it doesn't kick in until I open my WiFi networks though. If you have WiFi on though when you aren't connected to a network, the constant scanning will drain your battery.
Also, other things that drain the battery:
Sense Widgets... Although attractive, huge battery Hog
Live Wallpapers - Duh
Overclocked Kernels... Faster performance = Faster drain
Heavy usage... When the screen is always on and the data network is constantly being used, it also drops.
On the new Energy ROM, its nice because when your phone is not being used, neither is your battery. My phone went 3 hours with only changing 1%.

Battery issues
hey guys, i've had an amaze for about a month now, and these last 2 weeks that i've had it, the phone will randomly shut off once a day when im at or around 50%. I'm not sure if this is a battery or a hardware issue. I have used a non-stock charger and cord to charge it 2 times a week so i'm not sure if this might have anything to do with it. I have the official unofficial ICS update, did a full wipe, relocked the bootloader and unlocked it again and basically put a clean ICS on it. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

This link shows the new 12 pin technology that MUST be used with the Amaze. This is a real pain, just purchased two HTC-Amaze phones and taking them back for the Galaxy.
I hate it when they change technology and make all your charging cords in your phones and your computers obsolete and don't tell you. Also, the Amaze is designed for European drivers. The charging cord plugs into the left-upper middle of the phone and it is dangerous to pick up to unplug wile driving because the cord hits the steering wheel. How do you spell DANGER? Really heavy and clunky phone too. Galaxy has bigger screen and is lighter - another reason to pass on the Amaze. Be careful with this phone if you aren't aware it is in a tech world of it's own. Just replacing the charging cords in our autos and computers cost more than the phone. Sheesh!

I use a standard micro USB to charge my Amaze. Works fine.
I think you may mean "designed for English drivers", since they are the only European country that drives on the left side of the street and thus have the driver on the right side. But in any case one is not supposed to be messing around with the power while driving anyway.

As mentioned, conventional microUSB cords work fine, and some of HTC's own documentation says so, some even recommend it. I do find I get a better/faster charge using HTC's cables,but they are functionally the same as microUSB. The odd connector is more secure, though -- it's longer and inserts further in the socket.
You should not be picking up or juggling your phone while driving. Period. End quote. Just don't.
I am also disappointed to the Nth degree with the Amaze, actually not so much the phone which is lovely and solid and attractive and loaded with hardware features, I'm furious with HTC's absolutely stupid mess with drivers, and refusal to quickly resolve issues with the software. It's October, 10 months after purchase, and I have problems with WiFi, Android Beam, Bluetooth, surprise shutdowns (just finding the phone has turned off by itself). In short, it's failed to function as a reliable phone.
I'll never buy from them again. Never. Ever. Google Nexus phones for me from now on, and not on a carrier contract either. I've been burned for the last time.

From what I've read, the shutdowns may be caused by the battery. You might want to try replacing the battery you are using. So far I have not found one better than the OEM.

Touchscreen bit unresponsive while charging

So while my phone is charging the touchscreen becomes a bit unresponsive on the sides. Anyway to resolve this?
Its a very common issue with s2 ..infact screen gets a bit hot too if you use the phone while charging..please read the users manual which came with your phone for more details.

Touch response is lowered while the phone is plugged in, from what I read Samsung does this to protect the digitizer, whether it's needed or not is debatable and some custom kernels eliminated this in GB, I dont know if it's been removed in ICS nor do I know if it's a good/bad idea to do so.
AFAIK it is a normal issue to have. I also sometimes have scrolling issues while charging.
To me it seems worse when charging from AC rather than USB / computer.

I think, but don't quote me on it, that some kernels can cause this to be worse and some improve the problem.

Yup, i think u have hit on it. Unbelievable that the charger that came WITH it (OEM) makes my Samsung Tablet 7.0 Plus was non-responsive while charging, but i just happened on accident to use a galaxy s ii charger (just the plug part as the inputs are different) and wow, can use the tablet 100% fast and responsive while being charged.
I just googled it to see if its just me and ur post came up, who'd of thunk it?! lol

This is an old problem with the RAZR. I think it's an earthing problem or the lack of one. Touch screen goes a little awol...
Usually, using the stock charger gets rid of this problem!
Yes, check the charger. I had a device that plugged into the wall and simulated a car charging port and could use a car charger on the wall. It made my touch screen go haywire. Since the basic jest of a capacitive touch screen is using minute static charges in your fingers (or what ever other body part...) then it makes sense that if the rectifying circuit in the wall charger is substandard, excess RF emissions could jack up the screen.
Also, stay away from Van de Graff generators, they tend to cause the screen to be crazy as well. I know, hard to believe, but trust me.

I was going nuts thinking I was touching it incorrectly then realized it could be some issue with charging it. I am using the stock charger but still seems to screw up if plugged in. Especially when I am trying to use swype. It stopped doing it once I unplugged the damned thing.
Me too...specially while typing a message....
I have this problem because I bought a real cheap charger that would do mulitple ports, but since I charge it at night I dont care. If I use the stock charger or the one from my OG droid it works just fine. Its something to do with the charger and being crap
I had the same problem with a LG charger, that came with a non-touchscreen phone.
When I use the stock charger, I have no problems.

Same here. I had a SE x10i and MB300 both had the same problem. Realized later that the problem occurred only when I using a particular power point.
Sorry for gravedigging but this is happening to me too and I only use the stock charger :S

My stock charger does this, but fortunately I have another from HTC which works.
This is a common Motorola problem, touchscreen input is more or less distorted during charging. I had this with Milestone and it also happens to RAZR, regardless of whether the phone is attached to USB cable, original charger, a 3rd party charger, original car charger or a 3rd party car charger.
I've had this problem too, occasionally. I just reboot my phone each time it happens, and that seems to fix it for a while. It doesn't happen often enough or long enough for me to really worry about it.

Hi. I have the same problem and I got to say that this is the second phone that I experienced the problem with. First it was a iGlo A101 and now it's a Allview P5 Mini. I tried them with 2-3 different cables and none worked (it worked only charging in the car (the first phone) and charging it through the laptop (connecting the phone to the laptop)).
With the iGlo, I asked the warranty guys about this problem and they said that is a common problem for capacitive touchscreens because it works based on electrical impulses and therfore it's sensitive to electricity. They also said that the reasons must be the power source beeing with parasites or the cable. They suggested changing the cable with a thicker one (a Blackberry or Samsung cable).
I didn't get to do that because I chose to sell that phone and that's what I did. And now after buying this new one I have the same problem. This time I'm going to try more cables before deciding to sell it. I'll update this.
I've had a similar issue, both with Droid 2, Droid X2, and Razr Maxx. The only thing I can say for certain is that I saw it started with rooting the phones. Only had it happen with motorola, and never had anything get better, regardless of what wall charger. I read on one forum a common problem was a loose charger, but have never found any validation, or it's just a common issue with the Blur being rooted. However, if it's the price to pay for rooting, I'll take it happily. But cruising google, I've never found a solution.

The only thing to do is use the stock charger, I have the same problem too when using another cheap charger. It seems to be a Hardware issue, not a software, so there isn't a way to make it works fine!

Lately I've been having trouble using the touchscreen while my phone is charging. Touches are not recognized, extra touches are inputted, touches are recognized in the wrong place...etc
I'm totally stock, not rooted. Thoughts? Thank you!

This happened to me having the Usb Debugging turn it on, disabling it it stops this problem to me
I have had this problem too. Using the stock charger took care of it for me. It's frustrating. It's not so great for Temple Run 2 either! lol
Having same problem ...with stock charger!!!
n its really erratic behavior sometimes
I have a Zopo C2 platinum and encountered the same problem. Solution : disabled USB DEBUGGING. And voila, everything OK !
