I have a droid X2 rooted and sbf'ed with 2.3.4. I also have a desk dock from Verizon. When I place the phone into the dock (which I do at night) strange things begin to happen. I hear clicking sounds coming from the phone -- the sounds made when you tap on the screen! It goes on intermittently all night, and in the morning instead of the standard desk clock display that kicks in when the phone is docked I have other displays on the screen. Several times it's been the dialer along with a dialog saying "emergency calls only" (who the hell was this ghost trying to call?), a few times the Audible app was on the screen, but with nothing playing. Other times it's been some random app.
I have had to wipe every last widget from the dock screen, and before placing the phone on the dock I switch to a blank homescreen and remove the status and dock bars (thanks, GoLauncher!) to avoid any problems. Not that it's been 100% ... this morning I found the Handcent app running.
Anyone know just WTF is going on here?
Gasper trying to talk to the dead?
I had a problem like that but with out the dock, I had to clean the screen REAL good. Not sure if that would work in this instance but give it a try.

I know the screen acts crazy when ur phone is getting incorrect voltage from the charger/dock...
Might be hardware related tho also...have u.contacted Verizon? Maybe u have urself a "faulty" malfunctioning dock(or even phone)
Good luck...u could always download a ghost detector and see what's going on also hahah

I've had this happen. Try another charger if you have one with the dock then without to help isolate the problem.

I did switch to another charger that has a slightly higher current output (850 ma) and that seems to have done the job. But I'm not uncrossing my fingers until the phone doesn't misbehave for at least a week. But thanks for the suggestion.
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.

Well I know for sure that my touchscreen was more responsive a couple of months ago (as I can also notice it if I carefully place my finger in the edges while not charging) but still tha k you guys

eso es normal, a mi tambien me pasa.
This happened to my iphone before and I fixed it by buying a new charger.
For me this problem seems have sth to do with the charger.If you got an extra charger you can try it out. Hope it helps

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
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 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 had the same problem with my old Milestone. Used stock charger. If I charge RAZR with Milestone's charger, I get the problem less often.

Same Issue
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
No solutions yet for this issue?
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!

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 !
So I have received my Z Ultra. It's the lte version and for 7 days has worked great, the last couple of days is been doing weird things when on charge or after extended use.
I suspect this may be a heat issue. This is a stock ROM and has a basic setup. When is on charge things just don't work, first thing I noticed is the gesture typing doesn't work. I also noticed the touch screen was doing random touches when trying to type and opening random programs.
After several hours of continuous use on battery I get spontaneous shutdown and is very hard to restart.
Has anyone else experienced this? The phone is only 10 days old and am thinking of asking for a refund. Thoughts or suggestions?
Cheers.
Tried a differrent wall outlet? I notice that my phone's touch senstivity gets funky when i use my stock sony charger in the office but it stays perfect when used at home.. Seems like the outlet is grounded or something..

It makes no difference which outlet. Works fine when not plugged in to charge as long as I don't use it for hours.

Same with my unit. I got my XZU yesterday and am thoroughly testing it before the 7 days so I can still exchange it.
The problem I encounter
1. Sudden and random reboot of the phone after few minutes after being taken from the charger.
2. Once rebooted, the language setup screen is shown again asking me which language to use.
3. Display become less responsive.

NVM!!! Found it! Any instructions on how to troubleshoot charging port still appreciated. Should I buy the HTC One? It's "free" right now, presumably because the m8 is about to come out.
Phone thinks I'm plugging it in, unplugging, plugging in, etc. The screen turns on each time. Besides being obnoxious, this is going to wear my battery down really fast. I've been suspicious my port is going bad so really I just want to know if there is a setting to keep the screen from turning on when "plugged in". I thought I remember such but am not finding it.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
There is an option in Developer options to keep the screen on when charging, but I don't remember ever seeing one to keep the screen off. And I'm not sure if it is in all roms. I'm running SHOstock3.
Edit: misread the question, sorry!
That happens because your charging port needs to be replaced, Well, there is a "trick" (or whatever it is) to fix it, but it with the time it will fail again,. with a needle or a little stick try to move to the center the thing that looks like a tongue in the charging port, and that should fix it for a while.
