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.
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.

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???

Yes, there is a fix if that is indeed the issue. Are you able to determine what version of recovery you are using? It could still be a faulty battery though.
Upgrading my phone from a SGS 4g
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. Phone is still one if not the best and can be in the top best phones for a while, only thing right now is development. If your all about development then go with s2 if not then amaze. I'm happy with what I have

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.
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
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

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
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.

First of all, your friend's Desire X is surely bricked. It would take a more direct approach than damaging the digitizer or installing a launcher to actually brick the device.
From my knowledge of electricity i would say the digitizer is short circuiting internally which may explain the reason the electric current from the charger flowing constantly somewhere else other than the battery. This is evident in the fact when we have a mobile device which has almost no charge, and after we plug it in and start using that mobile device, the AC charger keeps the device running and also the screen on, until the battery gain enough charge to take over and start storing charge itself. The scenario seems possible to the extent that your digitizer is short circuiting internally. And it is preventing the battery from gaining enough charge to take over.
The next possible scenario is that the battery has got pushed inside as well. But for this to be possible your car keys have to go through the plastic and reach the battery to be flattened by force internally.
So what you can do is go to any authorized service center and explain just what happened. Of course they would charge you cos this would be out of question to offer warranty. Just replace the digitizer and check.
Good luck.

So if you can get a look at how much damage was done, maybe you can repair the digitizer only and be done with.

My #1 suggestion is for you to take the desire X to an authorized service center and let them repair it.
Because if you do any other damage while trying to take apart the device, it may damage parts which were not damage originally. This would cost you additionally then. So let the repair guys worry about it. As it is you have enough stress i can understand.
Unless you are sure about disassembling the unit yourself, i DO NOT recommend it. The manufacturers are now sticking to new methods of minimizing the size of the body. So this means a lot of glue and other adhesives between the body, lcd panels, digitizer instead of the traditional hooks between the plastic body and screws to hold the parts together. Believe me, removing away glued parts is very risky if you don't have the proper equipment to raise the temperature to certain degree to melt away the glue or adhesives.

As i have seen the internal of HTC Touch, Diamond and HD2 only what i would suggest is for you to check for any damages to ANY other parts of the device. This includes
1. the plastic body
2. the mainboard
3. the battery (by default it should be a uniform surface) so check if its pushed in any sides
4. if the lcd has been pushed from the inside leading to an external mark on the back side.
All the best
**edited**
Just had a quick look through my desire X
There is not circuit board on top of the battery compartment. The mainboard is just on top of the device.
So i am sure it is just the LCD/Digitizer
Hm, there were in fact three reports about similar issues on the German android-hilfe.de forums, where the device actually wouldn't turn back on after the battery had reached 0%, the device had been shut down automatically, and had then been charged as usual. Would be interesting whether that issue was a more general hardware/battery failure, and the physical damage reported here was just 'coincidentally', having no direct impact on the battery.
To be honest, I'm quite concerned about this - I always used to let my old Samsung device shut down when its battery reached 0%, hopefully saving some battery life (although this might also be a myth), and had planned to do so with my Desire X as well, but after reading the mentioned reports (and this one, of course), I'd rather recharge the device even before it reaches 0%...
Maybe someone could shed some (technical) light on this... - the mentioned forum reports in the end did not offer other solutions than taking the device to a service center and have it repaired.

my desire x did infact reach 0 and shut down. but when i put on charger it came back on.
m glad my device isnt like what you said. but i think i proved the point those devices have problem.
would be interesting to know if those devices had same problem after an impact.
