Hi fellow dreamers (sorry just can't help myself), just got my dream for a few weeks, and it came only with travel charger (non-standard). I notice that when charging, my touchscreen goes haywire i.e. the touch detection goes offscreen and intermitten, it would click on icon far of the screen where i was clicking. The trackball works fine though. Would like to know if this is normal?
Oh also i've tried using my mp3 miniusb cable to connect to the computer, and it was the same, therefore it's not the charger that causing this.
Would like to hear your opinion, thanks for the help guys...
ps. dream was not officially release in my country, therefore bringing it to htc service center was out of the question (i've tried )
Are you holding the phone in your hand when you have problems? Capacitive touch screens dont work well when they aren't grounded to your hand (ie when you touch the screen while it is sitting on a table charging)

really? surely just touching the screen grounds the phone?
anyway, its always acted perfectly for me when it's charging and sat on my bedside table. get in touch with t-mobile and get them to replace it.
its a ****ty charger, the same thing happend to me when i bought a 2nd charger from a flea market, its just a ****ty charger thats all
this is happened to me too a while ago. the touchscreen went haywire after charging using usb cable to my computer. since htc dream is not officially available to my country, i ordered a new lcd screen digitizer from ebay and replaced it myself. it was complicated to replace an lcd screen digitizer, but it was worth the try. there is a tutorial video on youtube you could see on how to replace your screen. or you could ask somebody with repairing experience to do it for you.
now my touchscreen is back to normal
I found that if I use one of my non-HTC chargers (I have several from Motorola and other phones) that the touch screen would go crazy and the phone would get very hot when charging. When using the standard charger that came with the phone neither of these things occur.
From what research I did at the time, I found that the mini-usb connectors are slightly different (compare a couple if you have extras) and it's enough to cause these effects.
exactly,. but an OEM charger from htc and you should have no problems
Did you drop your phone recently? or you are assuming its due to the charger, get the screen replaced and it should solve the issue.
Just like everyone else says, it's the charger, I had this issue too, I used the charger that came with my phone and it has no issues then I had lost it (or thought I did) and got a charger from a kiosk and my screen went crazy, then I tried my friend charger that came with his phone and it worked just like my charger.
thank you very much for the reply guys, guess i'll try using htc official charger first (htc diamond's charger should work right?)
tried holding it and put in on the table, same result
dunno about dropping it, i got it second hand
About changing the digitizer, i guess since i only have problem during charging, i'll stick with it.........heard that changing digitizer is quite risky...
will post back after trying with the diamond's charger
its the charger

yeah, just confirmed the same thing
now just need to go buy original htc charger since i'm tired of unplugging everytime i need to use the phone
Ok, so I get to work and decide to plug in my phone from an old charger from another phone. I plug it in and all of a sudden, my touchscreen is WAY OFF. I hit the icons near the top and my middle icons light up.
I thought it was the phone, tried different settings, then ended up plugging in the native USB charger/cable....and all is fine.
Just in case any else runs into this issue, try the original charger.
Same thing happened to me on ny Captivate with a generic charger I purchased on Amazon.

That is a problem with the charger hitting a sensitive spot in the usb bus, this happened a lot with the hero as well when using an aftermarket charger. I messes up touch input and makes the phone unresponsive to touch altogether sometimes
Oh yeah, common issue - bad grounding I always suspected.
I've had the exact same issue. I've been using the generic charger that I used for my Pre, and the touchscreen goes crazy when it's plugged in.
It's kinda like an extra puzzle in the morning. Have to remember to unplug the phone before I can disable the alarm clock.
Here I thought I found something new....
Ah well...thanks guys/gals
My eee pad is not charging.
Its plugged in and everything was working - until this evening when I went to use it.
It had trouble turning back on so I pressed the on button a few times until it turned on. Then when I hooked up the charger I can not get any juice flowing.
Anyone have any ideas? I don't want to call asus until I totally have to.
Thanks!

I checked - the USB 3.0 wire still works. I can connect to my laptop. But my laptop does not have the juice to charge the pad.
Looking for ideas. Anyone know of a 3.0 charger?
So the wall charger doesn't work?

I guess so. But why would it just stop working?

I really wouldn't know, there are a large number of causes. Do you have any wall chargers with USB ports on them for other devices (I have one from my phone) and does that work?

Yeah, it was mentioned in one of the reviews that charging via USB tether doesn't yet work and is planned for a future update. No help to you really, but it's a known problem...
The battery will only charge when using the provide wall plug and no extension cables. I believe it does charge without it if the screen or device is ofg

I tried all the extra chargers I have. Nothing.
But I did get the screen to turn on when I used my OG droid charger.
I have seen somewhere that is is possible to plug the usb connector into the wall wart backwards ( usually will only go in one way). Check to see that you have the plug in the correct way.
I got same problem tonight. any solution?
try separating the two piece of the wall chargers and put them back together. It happened to me once and that's how I fixed it.

Physically impossible without damaging the wall wart. The USB jack is standard, and was specifically designed to prevent being plugged in backwards.

Is it just me, or are they exceptionally hard to take apart and put back together? I was actually scared I was going to break it, joining them, it took so much force. I've not yet dared take them back apart...

the magic works. I did it last night and it didn't work. Tried it this morning and it is charging now.
I don't like the charger. It could be a potential problem in the future. Does anyone know if there is a replacement?
Don't know about not charging bug but wife left it on sleep for long period this morning and it didn't wake up, held power in for 10secs then left it for 10 secs then touch ed power button and it woke up

I am now having this issue. Already tried turning on and off and unassembling/reassembling the adapter.

Eventually i got mine to work. I think it has to do with a bug in sleep mode.

What did you do? If it's off and then turned on, it wouldn't be in sleep anymore so it should work.
What if I did a factory reset? Would that fix it? What happens? Does it revert to original firmware it shipped with even though I did the manual update? F
Well, I couldn't get it to work so I just did a factory reset. It works fine now. Just so everyone knows... the pad kept my new firmware update so I at least didn't have to do that again.
I started having this problem last night. I have the dock also and when I plug it in the red light does not come on. It will not charge the dock or TF. The USB cable works as I connected it to my PC. I tried plugging it in to different wall sockets. I tried using my Droid X charger. I even took the wall charger connector apart and put it back together. Any ideas?
I got the device today, but it does not charge. What should I do?
Hey guys,
I've been googling a bunch but what I found so far hasn't really convinced me.
I have my N7 for a week now and today it suddenly started behaving weirdly: When I plug it in I basically cannot use the touchscreen. Just putting a finger anywhere on the screen makes it go crazy, numerous apps start opening, I can't even unlock the device because the movement isn't being recognized correctly. It seems to work fine when it's not plugged in...
I reset the N7, thinking that this probably is a software problem but it didnt help. Now whats weird is, that I had the same exact problem with my Asus TF300T that I sent back in.
So, am I boned?
I know a lot of people have problems with the touchscreen but nowhere have I seen it described as being that bad when plugged in, it's not usable anymore!
Is there a software solution to this problem? If not I'll sent that sucker in immediately...
Sidenote: That problem only accures when I plug it into the PC. When it's plugged into the wall with the adapter, it works normally

Hi, i have noticed the same problem. I myself have not found any thread giving solution to this issue. Hope someone knowledgeable can give his insight how to address this issue.

maybe it´s a problem with your usb-port on your pc? did you try another pc?
its your usb, too much voltage going through(or not enough). it happens with some wall chargers too.

ok so...that would make sense.
but I reset my N7 an hour ago and it worked just fine for an hour until just now...
if it was the usb port, shouldn't this problem occur all the time?

same thing happens with a tmobile wall charger i bought, on both my nexus s and galaxy nexus. sometimes its fine for a bit, sometimes its not. i ended up just throwing it away. you can confirm it by try trying another usb port on a different desktop/laptop. try another usb cable just in case too.
I have the exact issue on my Galaxy Nexus. I'd say 90% of chargers and USB cables work but every so often I plug in one that causes that issue. I can only put it down to voltage irregularities.
Must just depend as I was using it yesterday while plugged into my PC.

Hope someone can help with my wireless charging issue. This issue is happening with a stock Orb so I purchased another Qi standard charger but same result.
I put the N4 on charge at night wake up in the morning and the phone has turned off and is only around 80% charged. Also very hot to touch. Obviously this is not good when you are expecting the alarm to wake you up. And also even if the phone has turned off it should still be charging I would have thought
My phone is stock standard 4.2.2 and using the wall plug that came with the Orb (1.8amp). It is charging up perfectly well on usb overnight.
So it was doing this with the Orb and I couldn't return it RMA as I purchased it outside of USA so I bought another Qi charger and guess what.....the same thing happens. So at least I have isolated the problem to the phone and not the charger
Any ideas
Interesting. I tend to avoid using the Qi orb when I'm not monitoring it. It does tend to get hot and makes me a bit nervous. So sitting at my desk working and need quick access to my phone while it chargers, orb; sleeping and performing my nightly charge / alarm, plug.

Yes, I wonder if it is actually the heat that is causing the phone to shut down. But then when it is shut down shouldn't it still charge the battery?
The Orb was a present from my lovely wife so am dead keen to use it :laugh:
If you've isolated the issue to the phone I'm guessing you can get it swapped out w/ Google. I've heard they have a pretty good system for that. Just curious, do you have a case on the phone? Your heat theory makes sense, I wonder if the case is causing it to overheat and shut down. I'll try charging mine when the phone is off and see if that works.

Yes, I have a case but I have tried it with and without. Keen to hear if it works OK. Thanks
OK, I cycled my N4 off and placed it on the orb and nothing happened. While it still was on the orb I held down the power button for a few seconds to boot it up. Rather than turning on it switched to a charging mode. Another hold of the power button turned it on. I'm wondering if by default it does not charge unless you deliberately cycle it to the charge mode. Have to do more research on that.
