I haven't seen anyone else post this issue, but I have 2 vibrant's. One completely stock, the other rooted with ZA lag fix.but when either one is on the charger (or charging via pc/mac) the phone is very slow and choppy. Does anyone else have this issue?

I have seen this issue but only with non oem samsung vibrant chargers/usb cables. I have one that makes my phone completely unusable and another that makes the phone respond on its own.
The charger that I use every night is the one that came in the box.

I have this exact issue on a stock vibrant i got this morning. I was surprised that this was the only place i saw this mentioned; which lead me to register at the forums.
The touchscreen becomes less accurate i think; when flipping through app pages it will often open an app accidentally if the charger is plugged into the wall. havent tried from a computer or car yet.
It not bad enough of an issue for me to return it but it is a bummer. If anyone finds a work around i would be interested.
This happens to me with the stock wall charger too but only when I have it connected to a source converter, more specifically a vehicle outlet power source adapter: Duracell 175 Watt DC to AC Pocket Power Source Inverter.
I didn't try and see if I only connected via USB to that device if it still was the same. But I do know it is with wall charger to the outlet on that particular device.
Now other than that device, I have not experienced this issue or the few times it was plugged into my computer.
But I do know it is annoying when the problem occurs, even though it is easy to disconnect and then use real fast or do what you need to do and then reconnect, it is still an extra task that has to be done.

Every time i charge my aria, while its plugged in to an AC charger, the screen seems buggy to me, the only way i can get it to work is if i put a finger on the metal part on top while im navigating, and even then it can do some funky stuff.
its like super sensitive or something.
and when i have it plugged into the computer, its even worse, completely unusable.
this happens all the time, no matter what rom i have on the phone.
its a pain, anyone else experiencing this?
never had anything like that happen.
I had this problem using an lg wall charger but not with the provided wall/usb chargers or a motorola car charger

strange, its happening on the oem chargers
This is happening to me too. Super sensitive keys, impossible to scroll. Happening to me on CM6, can't remember if it was same on Sense/Liberated
Same problem here with stock ROM, although only certain aftermarket chargers. The one that came in the box (as well as using USB from the PC) are fine. But they also charge much slower. I think the other chargers have a higher voltage (like 5v USB as compared to 3.3v). It's annoying for sure, but not a deal-breaker for me.
Oink!
It only happens to me when I use the aftermarket wall charger. I'm on liberated b003 rom.

hmmm, maybe ill go buy another oem charger, see if its a problem with the charger
happens to me on a wall charger/car charger set i bought on ebay or amazon...cant remember
oem charger is fine and so is any other cable plugged in to the pc to charge.
it's just that one damn wall charger that doesnt charge very fast anyway. just got it as a backup for at work.
I actually had this problem with my iphone 3gs and some charger i bought off of ebay. When the phone was plugged into it, the capacitive panel was all wonky and i couldn't use the phone. I guess it was a poorly designed charger.
Happens to me too across all ROMs using the oem charger. I don't have an after market to test with.
same is happening to me with a 3rd party microusb charger on my desire, if i try to pinch to zoom, while charging, the screen goes crazy
I've looked everywhere. i promise i tried to search it first before asking here.

Every time my phone is plugged in, wall or computer...swype doesn't seem to process finger swyping correctly.
anyone know why this happens and how to possibly fix this?
Are you using a third party charger? If it's not sending out the right amount of electricity it could be interfering with the touch screen (which is conductive).
I've noticed this behavior sporadically as well, with both OEM and third party charging solutions, but never when charging via USB plugged into a computer, only from the wall.
I can only speculate, but perhaps I've got relatively "dirty" (unsteady) power in my apartment wall outlets, and it's resulting in voltages outside this device's tolerances.
I've noted only the touchscreen appears to become unresponsive, this doesn't seem to have any effect on the ability for the battery to charge up.
I have this issue too when charging off my inverter in my truck. I had this on my mytouch as well. I just figured it was from the unstable line voltage. I haven't noticed any other affects from it other than that.
Agree with the others. Bad charger.
I've been experiencing this issue with many different chargers.
I've tried wall and car chargers with dedicated cables and also the car and wall chargers which give you a usb port to plug into, with 2 different data cables.
Even though the issue occurs with different chargers, it bothers me the most when it's plugged into my computer. Having it plugged into my laptop is a lot more convenient for me charging-wise.
I have no problem with any other application. I play Angry birds and homerun battle 3d with zero issues in touch screen response.
master reset of the phone doesn't help. I honestly think it's possibly an issue with swype.
I notice I need to press the screen harder when plugged into the wall for swype to input correctly. The problem is the screen not swype. You just don't notice it with other apps because of the need for less precision.

It's not that. You know when your texting, the swype "trail" is smooth, when it's plugged in, the lines get jagged and the phone picks that up instead of my original input and trys to guess the word off of the jagged line.
This happens to my phone and I always assumed it was heat related. This does not happen to me with the original samsung charger but on my cheap ebay wall and vehicle charger it does. Samsung charger is .7 amps and the others are 1 amp.

I haven't seen anyone else complain about this, so it might just be a small defect or isolated incident.
I always charge my phone during the night while I sleep and just recently woke up to find the phone only at ~70%. For some reason the AC adapter seems to be malfunctioning. Since the issue has started, I managed to get it to charge to full one night, but the rest of the time it seems to stop charging. It recognizes it being plugged in initially but then it pops up with the notification saying that the charger has been unplugged. I've tried reconnecting both connectors which will sometimes get it to start charging for 15-30 seconds before it shows as disconnected again.
It works fine via USB connected to a computer so I can only assume it's an issue with the wall adapter. I'm not sure if there's much I can do if it is an issue with the adapter but wanted to see if anyone had any ideas that would be worth trying before I give up on the adapter. Also wondering if anyone else has had this happen.
I don't have that problem. Call and get it replaced. All you news is a USB AC adapter.
Have you checked the socket you are plugging the charger into? Have you tried a different wall socket or socket on the power strip?
Are you using a Motorola brand wall outlet and usb? I was using an aftermarket cable and had this issue. So I got a branded cable and now it's fine
Sent from my iPhone killer ATRIX using XDA Premium App
i had same issues
my atrix would only charge also to 70% so i was about to return it. i forgot that it also came with a stand alone battery charger to charge just the battery. charged it and then put it on my atrix and said 100% again. hope this helps..
Yeah get the wall socket and make sure that's not the problem. Also I can't imagine it being the cable I use a 15 foot after market cheapo cable I got off newegg for like 3 bucks and it charges my phone all the way and I don't even use the wall adapter moto gave me I use some random one that's for one of my old phone or my nikon camera I don't remember. Also moto cable is crap it doesn't let me use adb doesn't seem to push enough power to my phone.
But thats just my 2 cents

have anyone got issues with S2 when plugged into power?
ie when I start recharging direct from 240V adapter, my S2 started getting VERY laggy and slow.
It immediately goes back to normal response when I unplug power.
I have never problem like you

Try using an alternative charger...probably your mains charger or the usb connector on the charger is damaged.
I'm pretty sure its a issue with the s/w as I have used the charger on another phone without any issue.
unless its one of the apps I'm using, not sure how to narrow it down.
mtrax...
I have the same issue.
You´re not alone...LOL
FYI the common issue I have when plugged in is that its not easy to unlock screen, takes me a 2-3 swipes to unlock screen and after that it seems that it ignores every other key press..
Any one reported this to Samsung? I will try to log a ticket to see what happens.
Try do a multi touch test while its plugged in see if the screens acting funny.
how do I do a multi-touch test?
what will that prove? as the screen works fine when unplugged.
I have the same issue but only when charging with the usb lead (with usb power adapter) instead of the standard mains charger. Think it might have stopped now that debugging is enabled and the Samsung kies screen doesn't come up when i connect the usb.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Took my phone 2 hours to charge from 36 % to 100 %
note this issue doesn't occur when charging via PC ONLY via 240V mains, but let me try with USB debugging on.
edit tried USB debbuging still has issue.
Note is the 240V USB cable different from a normal USB cable? ie perhaps the device thinks its a PC connection
the phone is laggy because of the electrical interference from a faulty charger or some other electrical equipment in the near vicinity...
Please note that actually the capacitive touchscreen becomes laggy not the applications/services...
keep it away from the electrical interference...use the samsung original charger..gud quality USB cable....and the issue will be gone... for sure
looks like its the charger, the A/C adapter I got with the phone was UK which is why I didn't use it to begin with, but tried the samsung one with a UK/AU adapter and its fine..
hmm who would have thought that was the issue...
interesting it didn't affect my other HTC phone.
Same issue here, but something special:
I ebayed another charger for my sgs2, original samsung one. Same serial number, same description, same style.. but i got the charging problem only with the new one.
With my original charger (the one, which was delivered with the phone) works fine. No slow and no lag.
The new one was about 5 euro, seems to be an original...
to demonstrate my point that its the electrical interference from the dodgy chargers onto the capacitive touchscreen... do this and report back...
plug the faulty charger onto the socket BUT DO NOT charge the phone with it...
keep the phone near to the charger wires etc....(not in charge)... you will see the screen lagging sometimes unresponsive...
now move the phone away ...it will work fine..
you can keep on using the dodgy chargers for charging...but use the phone only after it has been charged and is away from the charger...

I am not able to reproduce that with my original charger. There is no lag or any other problem. Switching to my second "original" (ebay 5 €uro) samsung charger leads me direct to the lag and your description. First i thought my second one is not an original one, but because of your description there seems to be a diffrent quality on the original charger depending on it production date.. unit.. charge.. or whatever.
I bought a sgs2 from the UK, and have a UK to AUS converter on the stock charger and I have no lag when it's charging or near chargers.
Sorry. Not a problem here. Writing now and plugged. Very responsive.

The electrical interference with the capacitive display is bullcrap since it needs electrical properties to respond. So it depends on whether your body has enough electrical properties.
So back to the point:
It is due to CPU reducing the clock speeds to prevent the phone from overheating as the battery itself produces enough heat anyway.
Many other people may not notice it since they may not perform intensive tasks while the phone is plugged in and the variation itself is also almost unnoticeable.
I have the same issue but as I said, it's almost unnoticeable to even bring it up in this forum. I haven't done any testing myself to prove this, but the same safety feature is implemented in most modern phones.
I have the same issue - I also had this issue with my Atrix.
Hi community,
I have a query I couldn't resolve on any ICS rom. For a number of weeks I was pretty sure it didn't charge when settled in a car dock. Lately it appeared in fact device is charged bit the ROM is unaware. It wouldn't show an icon nor show charging status on a lock screen. Also battery stats are unable to tell the phone has been charged.
I had a theory that car/lighter charger had too low power so I connected car dock to travel charged and got same result.
Same time desk dock works just perfect.
Anyone had same experience?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Not really a car dock, but I'm using a car charger bought for Samsung phones which is actually from energizer and works for just about anything usb. it plugs on the car lighter socket and has 2 usb outputs. My car supports 120w and the charger it good to up 1A so lack of power is never an issue. I just plug the phone's data cable there and the SGS charges normally. Using ics elite's 1.2 rom.
however, i do have your experience with some other (rather crappier, not even Android) Samsung phone. It appears connected and charging and it doesn't turn off if the battery is low if I'm phoning someone but as soon as i plug it out it didn't charge at all. My charger has a red light that turns on when it's charging something but it's not even on for this phone. Not really sure why this happens. The sgs works flawlessly though.
