Long story short, I posted on several thread regarding the intermittent screen responsive problem, buttery smooth scrolling randomly halting on charge etc. Well, today I noticed I wasn't using the OEM charger that came with the phone, I was using the charger from my old Samsung Galaxy S2, then I remember to look at the power output on both chargers. Samsung S2 OEM = 5v 0.7A LGOG OEM = 5v 1.2A! Now I've been using the LG OEM charger for several hours and haven't had any random lagging/halting/freezing.
So anyone having the same issue, check your charger and make sure the one you use has enough output power, it may just fix your problem.
I use the stock charger and still notice hiccups.

I do too. I'm not an electrical engineer, but given the different way the digitizer system was installed on this phone, I'm wondering if the charging causes a very slight disturbance in the EM field of the digitizer, resulting in misreads, causing the stutter.
I've been switching between stock charger and the Bose charger which has 1A output power and haven't noticed any stuttering since ditching the Samsung one.

Yeah, this has been posted before.
Sadly the info always seems to get buried.
I have issues with all of my other chargers, then I tried the stock charger again and haven't had any problems.
For most people it seems to be the charger.
Could have something to do with Qualcomm's quick charge stuff that was just posted.
I have always used LG charger and experienced the unresponsiveness to some degree. Power sources effected screen differently, i.e. wall outlets, ac inverter, even same inverter used in different socket in same vehicle. After flashing E975 JB I have not had an issue.

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.

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.

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.

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!
I've had 2 android devices and both of them have this same problem. When I'm charging the phone it makes typing a nightmare. Somehow it seems to throw something off. The only way to describe it is like it creates a lag. It doesn't matter what keyboard I use, what ROM I use (so far). My first device was an HTC Incredible and my current device is Galaxy S2. Never experienced this on Blackberry or Windows Phone 7. Anyone know how I can make this stop because I sure would like to be able to text and charge at the same time for once. Thanks a ton in advance!

What wall adapter/cord are you using
Aftermarket or other vendor chargers can produce some sort of frequency or oscillation that has a negative effect on the touch screen.
Try charging with the Samsung charger.
Same with "dirty" wall power - stock charger on a Sears inverter basically locked up my Infuse's screen and made it unusable.
Stock charger on any normal wall outlet was fine.
OEM charger straight from the wall for this Samsung. Doesn't matter what kind of charger (have several OEM Blackberry chargers and the output is the same), direct wall power, surge protector or car charger. Happens everywhere...my house, friend's, parent's...gotta be the phone or a combination of both. I found an app called Voltage Control but can't figure it out for nuthin' nor am I sure if it'll even help this. I'm one of those folks that sadly lives and breathes via this device and as Murphy's Law would have it, it seems I always need it the most when it's charging. I'm gonna research the crapple out of this and if I find a solution I'll certainly be back here to spread the word...

Did anyone try to use HOX+ in car as navigation? I have quite strong charger in car made for iPad (2.1A rated USB) and it is not able to charge phone when it is running navigation (Sygic, but it doesnt matter). It seems to me, that charging current is too low to charge battery and also power phone, which is actively used. Tried to repeat at home, again big Apple USB charger from iPad rated 2.1A and while I was actively using phone (browsing etc), charger was able to get 1% of battery charged per 15-20 minutes. Which is too long.
Phone is getting warm or even hot while using CPU actively (Chrome is able to run all 4 cores while rendering page) and maybe there is some protection to avoid HOX+ getting too hot while charging? Or maybe internal logic just doesnt take more juice from charger when phone is charging and being actively used (to power CPU/GPU and also charge battery)? Anyway result is that with intensive CPU/GPU apps like navigation, I cant charge phone fast enough and it is actually discharging! No matter how strong or good your charger is, phone takes constant current and sometimes its just not enoug...
Anyone got similar problems?
The problem is that you shouldn't use chargers meant for other electronic devices.
How is it with the charger supplied with the X+?
Bbattery Monitor Widget is good to track charge/discharge value.
I have not noticed anything out of the ordinary, even using the phone while it is charging.

And what is the difference between chargers with USB ports? I could understand that using cheap noname charger from China could be problem, but I'm using branded from Apple, which is known to be really well made. And it is providing 5V and up to 2.1A of current.
Anyway cant use original because I bought phone in UK and they have some ugly shaped power plugs unlike rest of Europe
...but it ain't working, obviously. A power adapter is like a couple of €s, and @amazon original charger are around 7 €

I've used both an OEM US charger and the UK charger with an adapter with the OEM cable and both have done fine. It does take longer to charge while using it, but that's no surprise.
The Apple charger should do better.
Simply put, the device reduces charge rate if the device gets too warm. I don't know if this is happening but it's something to keep in mind.
I had this issue also when i was using the device. Charging was stuck at 99% and did not change anymore.

Well, you probably can't top the battery while charging because the phone is drawing more current than what the charging circuit (internal to the phone) is able to deliver to the battery (while charging).
Been digging in this problem a little bit more and found strange pattern. Since I cant use original charger (UK version doesnt fit my outlet), I have to charge with Apple ones. I have one big for iPad3 (strong marked as 2.1A), one small one with 1A and one small one chinese copy from DX (also 1A). When I try to charge phone with first two, it just charge like USB (settings>power and there you can see type of chargin on the top of screen). When I use chinese copy, it charges like proper AC adapter, quite fast. But after while, touch screen is messed up and it is almost impossible to control my phone. It seems like some static electricity build up or something like this messing with toucscreen mechanism. It gets fine few seconds after removing phone from charger.
Tried different cables, have 3 types at home. Original cca 1m long, only chinese charger woks in AC mode. Then I have extra short for drive, same behavior like original and two long ones (2m), chinese from DX but well made with quite thick cable and with this even chinese sometimes charge like USB, but sometimes it connects like AC.
Always thought that Apple chargers are good and used them to charge other gadgets, never had any similar problems. Seems that One X+ is quite picky with chargers, anyone can verify if it is just my piece?
Hello,
I have a charging problem recently, I am connecting my phone to the charger, and you need to play with the micro usb cable until you hear the charging sound, also, my original charger died a few months ago so I am using different chargers (mostly my tablets chargers rating at 5V 2A).
Also, sometimes,but not always, when I charge overnight, it's not even charging, although I check before I go to sleep that the red led is on.
The charging time also varies, sometimes it's super fast and sometimes it really struggles.
I suspect the micro usb port.. but how could it be damaged so fast, this phone is so expensive, cant they make one of the most important parts more durable?
It's really frustrating, and maybe I should get a genuine S3 charger and that's the cause of the problem, but I tried to order one from eBay and it was fake(said to be "genuine"), so maybe you can link me to an eBay seller that sells the real thing from Samsung? btw, is there a way to know if it's real (it seems like 90% of the stuff there are fake)
Thanks
Have you tried the cable with different devices and the charger also yoh could try using a different cable with your phone and seen if that fixes your probelm

I just got my LG G2 yesterday. I also have a Nexus 7 2013 and an old Galaxy Nexus. I have a Nexus 7 charger at home and work. I have a modified Fast Charge 2.0A Car charger.
My N7 and GN could "AC" charge off of all of them. The G2 is "slow" charging off all of them. They are all 3 different models of chargers, all above 2.0A so there is plenty of oomph to get it the power it needs.
So whats up with that?
I just tested it. It isn't the Charger but the damn cables. Does LG have some kind of funky pinout for the charger?! Using the supplied cable, it is working on all of my other chargers. If I use my old cable it "Slow Charges" even with the included LG USB Charger.
So something in that cable is altering the amount of power it gets. That SUCKS!
My Nexus 7 will AC charge off the LG Cable. So it's something with that cable that the G2 likes.
LG is notorious for changing stuff around. On the G2x they flipped around the headphone control pins and came out with an additional headset for extra $$ which rendered every other headset with music controls useless. So basically now I have to go and replace all of my USB cables with something LG likes (which will almost be impossible to order something online). Anyone else having issues with other chargers? Luckily it IS taking a charge but just at USB speeds (Slow charge). I use Qi Charging at home for at night, so that isn't an issue but in my Home Office, Work Office, and (especially) my Car I need a fast charge. In the Car, using GPS with the screen on will still deplete on USB power. A fast charge is the only one that can still charge the battery under a heavy load. Similar to watching a movie probably.
All my USB cables woks fine. I would use the included Amazon Kindle cable since it is easily the longest cable with out issue. However older cables do have the problem you described but I suspect it isn't something LG specifics but rather the amount of pins connected in the cables.
-LG G2
I found that my Samsung cables from my S4 and Note 2 work fine with the G2, but any of my other cables, whether they be the cheap $3 ones, ones from other phones, or expensive ones, only charge at the slow rate. I'm hoping we can get a custom kernel that removes that restriction.
So it charges a little slower. Is this a major issue? If so, use the charger provided. Failing to see the problem here.
Maybe its just me. I get that a lot.
My Note 2 2A charger and USB works just fine. If not faster.

Have you tried going to settings>general>PC connection and setting "charge phone" there, as the phone limits the current allowed through if it's on MTP because MTP simply can't handle it.

The Problem is that it is annoying. Not only is it charging "Slower" but also throw a icon up in the Status bar that you can't dismiss that says "Slow Charging. To Charge faster, use the original charger".
But I want to repeat that it is NOT the actual charger but the USB cables. It WILL fast charge (aka normal charge) using all of my various chargers WHEN I use specific USB Cables. Most of my cables will only slow charge, which is equivalent to a USB trickle charge that can't even charge it fast enough to power the screen. If you use the device in this mode, it still loses power with the screen on.
It just seems there is something in the cable itself that is either not connected or passing through the info to turn up the faster charging. I know the cables are Power+Data cables because I use them for ADB and MPT.
Most cables are not working. I've found a few that are. Unfortunately my 10ft desk cables and my curly car one is NOT working.
The Original Nexus 7 was picky about chargers. It wouldn't even see my car charger where my Galaxy Nexus and New Nexus 7 2013 both show AC (fast charge).
I think the difference between a slow charge and a fast charge is something like 0-100% on fast charge is 3 hours where it's like 9-10 on a slow charge. THAT is the problem.
Update:
Seems this is a legitimate case regarding the Verizon LG G2s AFTER they've received the latest OTA update. It will only charge normally on the included cable. All other cables will result in a Notification that the phone is "Slow Charging" and charges only on 500mAh. You cannot dismiss the notification. Which is the annoying part.
Current ongoing discussions are here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2460881
As of this posting, it affects all Verizon G2 users and there is no solution. We suspect it is just a Verizon bug. No other cables will charge normally.
No. Mentioned in that thread, my car charger from Verizon charges at ~1000mA. Long, curly, and thick. The new one with the LED and shorted pins. Attached cable and USB work on said charger. The problem is AWG, short, and voltage drops. I have yet to find a working usb cable though.
Mine (D802, EU model, GB variant):
- Belkin Charger 2.1A, N7 2013 cable -> slow charging
- N7 2013 charger + N7 2013 cable -> fast charging
So it's not just the cable; it's also dependent on the charger.
The voltage drop in the cable will cause the phone to draw a substantially lower charge. Therr doesn't seem to be anything unusual about the cable other than it being unusually good quality, being thick and short.
When charging, it's important having a charger with the data pins shorted, but I think most wall charger are. The slow charge warnings are something special in the Verizon models, I only get a slow charge warning when It's actually slow on my d802.
It will appear as though there is a difference of what will happen if there is a voltage drop in the cable based in your carrier model, but the hardware which charges the phone should be standard, albeit probably better quality than most other chargers.

I stopped worrying about cables, adapters, etc by using a TYLT VU wireless charger. It chargers both my Verizon lg g2 and my Nexus 7-2013 fully and quickly. My g2 takes only 2-3 hours and my Nexus is in a leather case.
No wworries, just lay either one on its 45 degee angle platform and forget about it. Truly a wonderful charger.
I have a Samsung Qi Charger. I don't worry about it but there is a software bug with the Verizon model since the OTA update. Another thread listed above tells of the details.

This is NOT the case. The Verizon variant is very picky and requires a 24g USB 3.0 cable or else it will force slow charging at 500mah.
There is a whole thread with findings thats like 30 pages long. The Verizon model is not behaving like the other variants, so unless you have a Verizon model with the latest OTA and have personally tested and found a working solution, then you need not comment.
This thread should be closed so random uninformed persons stop making false accusations. This thread was started over a real problem but didn't take off. Another thread was created that did, and it is linked above. This is a real problem with a real solution. All real findings and discoveries are listed in that active thread listed above.
