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

I've done searches and read here and on other forums. I am at my wits end. I'm using my touch pro with my laptop but the phone get's hot and turns off. It also doesn't charge while tethering. Does anyone have an actual solution to this problem? Is there a Rom that solves this problem? I love my phone but I travel 2x a month and don't want to pay for the WIFI in these hotels.
Anyone have a solution?
Thanks
Jeff
doesnt sound normal to me, did you contact sprint TS about this issue (wouldnt tell them you are tethering tho)?
get a long usb cable, put the phone next to the AC. the phone should be cooled enough to charge while tethering.
Go to Settings (WM, not TF3D)|System|Power and the Battery tab.
Make sure "When device is turned on, do not charge the battery when connected to the PC." is unchecked.
As cloudy987 indicated, get the phone into a good cool air flow. Maybe even take the back off while tethered. Plastic is not that good a conductor.
there is a hack out there from nuerom that makes it so your battery driver works differently and allows it to charge more or till it hits a little bit of a higher temp or something (too lazy to re read the posts) but there is also a over/under clocking utility on the site that works on some versions of winmo (i think on 6.5+ it causes a deadlock on boot and forces you to factory reset ) but it allows you to change the processor speed to lower while teathered and makes it so the device wont over heat...
http://www.nuerom.com
this was a issue for me while on energy roms,i had to go to tweaks and in the tool folder and disable the fast charge toggle,i have to on most custom roms,but no issues after i turn it off
could be that the USB connector is getting screwed up... the one on my Titan went and it started with not being able to tether/sync, then it progressed to not being able to charge it.
I actually melted my phone with wifirouter and had to replace it. Luckily it was under warranty. Most of the time simply placing it on a small desktop fan kept it cool. Unfortunately for mine the damage was done before I figured this out. Treat it like an overclocked PC. It needs extra cooling to keep it from cooking itself.
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!

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

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.
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

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.
I purchased a Droid RAZR on the day it was released and it has been running just fine. As of right now I am satisfied but I ran into something that worried me slightly.
Earlier today I had my phone in the Kickstand case/belt clip and hadn't used it for about an hour. When I took the phone out of the belt clip it was scolding hot. Battery, screen, all of it. I regretfully didn't have something to monitor the temperature to check what it had gotten to, but it was nearing pain just to hold.
Has anyone else been running into overheating problems with their RAZR of this magnitude or does anyone know any cause/solutions? Any input would be appreciated.
Sounds like you had 4g turned on and a lot of activity going on
also sounds like it got hot, i did not "overheat".
My razr gets warm in the case too... Does your case have a magnetic closer thing? Mine does and I am wondering if that is playing a part as I know old motorola droids (Droid 1 ) would not play nice with magnetic cases.
Mine has never been got hot. Not even warm...
But I've heard that many of you are experiencing problems like this so, maybe, it's my device the exception.
P.S.: Always running in HSPA+ with data connected. It got a little warm after 30 minutes of playing on WebTop (on my ATRIX LapDock)
I noticed this today. Went without my otterbox on an after 10 min of listening to pandora the thing was almost to hot to touch. Going to exchange this.

Mine is XT910 and it is kinda cold even after surfing HSPDA+ for 15mins. The 4G LTE radio in the XT912 aka Droid Razr should be the cause of this issue. I believe they'll roll maintenance updates soon enough to fix this kind of baseband issues.
My device too has been getting hot. I have the Droid Razr. It will overheat with no case, weather i am streaming in 4g or not. constantly losing 4g connection. also once it is over heating it will begin to powercycle. I have also noticed now due to the over heating the kevlar backing now has a huge air bubble underneath it where it has come detached. you can run your finger across hte bottom and just hear the popping sound of it moving around.
Check in Display Settings if In-Pocket detection is ticked. You never know. It is an active process if ticked.
For the past couple days I've noticed when I am in bed I've been using my fiance's EVO 3D charger and it's been heating up the screen pretty good, hot enough to really feel it on your palm of hand, not warm, i'm talking hot. I unplug it, shut it down and within minutes it's cool again.
is this an LTE phone?
I noticed the phone get hot (noticeably hotter than expected) the first day of use when I was hammering LTE and opening/closing things. I didn't use LTE a lot after that. I used the (google) navigator app in the car for a good 11 hours straight and it barely got warm but using 3g.
Since then, I've installed the leaked update which contains a new radio and updates the os to 2.3.6. I've been running 4G and It hasn't been anywhere close to hot. It might get SLIGHTLY warm while downloading/watching some youtube vids but it seems much improved.
No such issues with mine. Scolding hot? You sure you are not exaggerating a little?

Just how 'high' do you think the voltage is on the battery? I have used various chargers and they all work fine.
I had to echange my Razr after 2 weeks because the camera kept freezing but 4-5 times I would feel my pocket get hot. It was very hot and would partially drain the battery quick. Only have 3G in my area. I would reboot it and it would cool down.The new Razr has always stayed cool.
I've had similar problems in the past with my phone randomly becoming extremely hot and the battery dying within a few hours. I eventually downloaded an app called Android System Info on the market. It will tell you exactly what processes are running and how much of the CPU they are using. I found out that a process named android.process.media was starting and hogging 70% or more of my CPU at random intervals. After some research I figured out this was possibly caused by my phone attempting to sync with the media on my micro SD card and failing, but continuously retrying.

Disregard that message as it is ridiculous.
If the Razr couldn't be used with a standard micro-usb charger then they would have put a proprietary charger port on it. And secondly, even the cheapest plug-in charger has far more juice than what a laptop USB port provides.
When I first received my RAZR, it too became very, very hot at times. Uncomfortably hot. To the point where I feared for internal components. On the plus side, some of those 'black blotches' under the screen seemed to disappear.
As above, narrowed it down to the media scanner. Solution was initially to use the phone without an SD card, but that was hardly a long term fix. In the end, I rooted, froze the terrible Blur music app, hid as many folders as possible with .nomedia files, and used the feature of PowerAMP that disables the system media scanner for its database.
Have not had the same problem on 2.3.6 firmware, thankfully.

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.

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.

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?

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.
