Anyone else having issues with the phone when it is charging on the wall? Screen transitions get really choppy and touch screen sensitivity goes bonkers.
This is driving me crazy!
Sent via XDA app | HTC EVO | CM7 RC2
I've had this with CM7 as well. It's super annoying.
I've had this with most if not all Roms I've used. It depends where I plug my charger in honestly. Some places the touchscreen goes crazy some places it doesn't. Why? Hell if I know lol. I was starting to wonder if I was the only one with this problem.

I have had this problem before, but it is gone now. Could never figure out the cause...
It was never specific to CM for me. I found that at times, setting setCPU to clock up to max (not necessarily OC) when charging helped a little.
But for some reason the problem disappeared for me. Not sure why to be honest.
My phone only lags when I have the sd card mounted to a pc
It happens to me when I use one of the chargers I bought from Walmart. I think its a grounding issue.

Happens to me on Cm roms with HTC charger.
Its an issue with the charger. I have two completely differnet phones and the same issue happens on both when I use a certain charger. It charges fine but touchscreen goes to crap. Both phones work fine on a different one.

+1. Works fine with the OEM charger. But a cheap charger I got on eBay that charges a battery at the same time that it charges the phone always causes the touch screen to become completely unusable.
Not the charger. I have the same issue with my evo connected to the stock charger. It doesn't usually happen right away. In fact most times for me it isn't until charging us complete before I see a slow down.
I could be mistaken, but i believe it's a heat issue. The heat from charging the battery causes the CPU to enter a slower, low power state. This in turn will result in everything, not just the screen, becoming laggy. I've also noticed the same effect on hot days during the summer, if I let the evo get hot (like leaving it in a poorly ventilated area or heavy CPU/graphics usage), I get the same slow down.
I have not tried using setcpu but I suspect that thermal protection will automatically override user defined clock speeds.
Of course, all this is just my best guess, and I have nothing to prove it either way.

Agree & Disagree.
From the world testing I've done I completely agree that heat is a cause that can cause the phone to act incredibly slow and unresponsive. I have accidentally left my phone in the car during summer, come back and hardly anything works
My disagreement is that I do also believe that the charger/charging effects the phone. Using the stock HTC charger I get an sporadic screen, sometimes immediately and other times delayed, while charging. It almost always shows up after a full night of charging (phone could/should be warm here, right?) but the moment I unplug the device it becomes immediately responsive (heat hasn't changed).
I don't know what the root cause is, heat I think is a contributor, but either way I just deal
I believe it's due to poor grounding, which affects the touchscreen.
Ive had this with cheap chargers

yep - its a grounding issue with the touchscreen caused by using a cheap charger OR a cheap cable OR a bad cable. It is NOT a problem with your phone. Get a nice OEM cable or a nice OEM charger and you'll be in good shape.

I remember when the Evo first came out there were grounding issues with the screen (hardware 0001), i.e. if you put it down on a bed or couch, you couldn't get the notification bar to pull down. I would also estimate that there are still some minor residual grounding issues still around. I get it every now and then as well, I'm also using the stock HTC cable and charger. However, that battery theory is a pretty smart thought.

and perhaps you're cable is bad. stock cables do go bad, I've seen a few people with bad cables. They can fail in numerous ways.
If it is the cable or charger, why does it not happen on the stock ROM? Temp makes no difference.
EDIT: This DOES NOT happen with the stock ROM!
Sent via XDA App
Same cable, same charger (both stock), same outlet, does not happen with the stock ROM, but it does with CM7. I've just tested this quite a bit. Temperature is not a problem, either.
It happens to me after the battery hits 100% (on a non-sbc kernel) using stock cables, and stock chargers and my computer's USB for charging. It never happens on the stock kernel.
I'm not sure anyone ever knew for sure what caused the rash of these back in June/July, but I do know when I created the first FPS hacked kernel back then, it mysteriously cured some people's touch screen problems even though my modification didn't even remotely have anything to do with charging/touch input code.

Say, juys.
I've been reading about battery life and charging, etc. I actually do get pretty decent battery now with plenty of use and everything I want turned on, but that's not why I'm posting.
I have read that if you use certain chargers and the back of the phone gets warm, it means that charger's not charging the battery right and you should immediately stop using it. But I have noticed that when I use the official HTC charger, the back of the phone gets warm, but only on the BOTTOM of the battery door close to the charge port, NOT on top where the battery actually is.
I've even pulled the battery off and felt it when this happens, and it's not warm, which is weird/good. So I guess that's ok, right? Anyone else seeing this behavior?

on a related note if you are really worried about battery temp the HTC battery widget tells you the temp
i haven't had any issues like this. the only charger i use is the wall-mount/usb plug that came with the phone, and just the usb cable from a computer.
I was getting a warm back using the stock charger until flashing CM6. I still have issues when using navigation software though.

My battery gets very hot (58 C) when using the GPS + Google Navigation + Charging. (Charging with the htc cable with a USB car charger that I have). I asked HTC and they suggested a hard reset, and if not, send it back.
Last night when I used my gps for navigation, the htc battery widget even gave me "Status: Overheat"
Does this happen to other people? I can't be the only person using this as a gps....
i had some bad overheating issues. i ended up returning that aria for another one and had none thereafter.
my temps would reach 55~60 even while it wasnt charging or using it.
the entire phone would be extremely hot, including the glass on the front. it would almost be too hot to touch.
i dont know what is was that would cause it. but i think it coulda been when i first got the phone using setcpu, but im not sure.
but if your worried about the temps being too high you can always return it for another if your still within your 30 day window.
No idea I didn't but I will. Notice next time when I use gps but when charging phone it doesn't get hot its normal tho even if it gets hot all phone does get hot while charging. N using

Yes that's normal, but you said it gets very hot, and again, read my first reply to your post and tell me what you see, then we can tell you if your heating is normal or not.
make sure you turn off WiFi when you are charging the battery on your SNS
else it heats up really really fast and hot
that was the same on the SGS

It seems common behavior on the Nexus. My NS got up to 105° F last night (to be fair, it was under my pillow). I've simply taken to turning it off when I charge at night, but seeing as my NS is a glorified PMP (and therefore I don't have to worry about texts or other notifications on it), you might feel differently about simply turning it off.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
It's interesting to note that the adapter for the Nexus S actually charges at(and I'm sure I'm getting my terminology wrong, sorry electricity guys!) .7AMP vs the 1AMP that other smart phones charges at such as the Nexus One.
This might account for the seemingly longer charge times we've had reported, and why you might be seeing increased heating from using a third-party more generalized charger. Whether or not there's any truth to the idea that it may cause permanent damage to your device, I don't know. I would greatly appreciate it if someone more knowledgable about this kind of thing would post, as I'm considering buying a second charger/car charger. In any which case, I personally take what Best Buy/T-Mobile/anyone's first level support tell me with a great big grain of salt.
google maps heating phone up
I just had a similar experience with my Nexus S getting really warm while using Google Maps this morning. I usually use Google Maps in Car Mode with traffic overlayed as I drive to and from work (~30-40 min. drive). This morning I noticed the phone got really warm by the end of my commute, which did not happen the previous 3 or 4 times I have used Maps in this same fashion. I will take nxt's advice and check the temperature on the phone next time it heats up again. Does anyone know what is a "safe" upper temperature limit for the phone or battery? I've read that higher temperatures are detrimental to the life of a lithium battery.
Other than this one time, I have not experienced any other high temperature issues with my Nexus S in the ~1 week that I've had it.
Thanks ahead of time for any help/advice. This is my very first smartphone and I am eagerly trying to absorb as much information as I can about it so I can determine what is normal/abnormal behavior. I am loving my Nexus S so far!
I don't think third party chargers are to blame. In fact, I'd go as far as to say the opposite is true. I read that the shorter data pins on the official charger cause the device to enter a faster charging state, as compared to the usb cable or third party chargers.
I've yet to feel my nexus s get warm at all... during charging w/ wifi on. Using samsung wall charger, using LG wall charger, using computers w/usb cable.
My NS gets hotter to the touch than my Vibrant ever did, but when I check the battery temperature it is never as high as my Vibrant used to get.
When charging in the car and running Navigation + streaming music the Vibrant would hit almost 125F whereas my NS tops out at 110F.

it depends on the usage
when i download TONS of stuff via 3G or WiFi it heats up a lot, only if i have it plugged in to the charger, else it does not heat up
However! if you check carefully, or better yet, if you take out the back cover
you will notice it is not the battery that is hot, but the area beneath the SIM card that is hot, which points to be the CPU

I see, thanks. Will keep in mind.
FWIW, I have been charging my Nexus S with the Nexus One charger (1 amp) since day 1 - I can't stand how short the stock charging cable and wall adapter were. I haven't had any unusual temperature spikes when charging at all. I don't even really notice it getting warm under heavy load - unlike the Nexus One with the aluminum casing that conducted heat very well. Edit: I also leave WiFi on with a No Sleep policy when I am at home and I've not encountered any warming issues either.
I would be careful if I ware you.. high heat is dangerous for the battery, it might swallow and even a leak if you will keep using your device constantly at high temperatures.
I Have never had any problems with heat and I have been using it a lot.
btw, I use stock rom..
Hi guys,
I used GPS for first time with my new SGS2. I was surprised how phone was hot. I had SGS but I never had any problem. GPS program is Sygic, I used same car charger, which I used for SGS. I drove home maybe 10min and phone was realy very hot, the screen also,back of the phone. Do you have same problem or do you think my phone is faulty?
Mine after 30 min surfing the internet is very hot (next to the camera and screen on top). Also i am worried about that...
Enviado desde mi GT-I9100 usando Tapatalk
Yes this I have same, but it is still OK compare to GPS and charging.
GPS + charge is always a hit or miss. My SGS was a little better, but my HTC Touch Pro 2 got blazing hot. All depends on the device, I'm more worried about the long term effects of such temperatures to the camera, which is in very close proximity.
I noticed when using sygic with gps that the battery continues to drain even when using the car charger.

There's a good answer to that. I had a cheap generic USB car charger and noticed it drained quicker than it charged. The reason is down to a pin on the USB connector. Your phone will only charge at rate it would if plugged to a PC. Buy a genuine Samsung car charger (about a tenner) and it uses fast/full charge. I think they remove/link pins which tell it how to charge. I also found it doesn't get as hot with a genuine charger

True is, I have non original car charger, but I bought some cheap one. Never charge my SGS, just kept at the same level. So I am going to buy original from Samsung.
When ur using anything Radio and/or charging for a long time its gonna get hot, by hot i mean burning hot. On my sgs, nexus one, cliq when i am on long phone calls (>30min) and charging they all get hot, and get hot when using gps even when not charging. GPS on SGS is a hit or a miss though, barely use that phone for gps
Don't listen to peopel telling you it's the charge that is causing the phone to heat up.
thats just nonsense.
Its the 1.2ghz cpu.. and the close tight body of the phone.
I had the Atrix, and after 10-15 of heavy usage or just gps, the bottom portion near the sim area would be hot to the touch.
Think about it this way.
Why do laptops even in such tight close spaces have some fan going? because things get hot.
Stop the fan on a laptop and let the heatsink just do the work and it will burn u.
Its just the thep hone despensing the heat.
I personally dont' think phones with 1.2ghz processors should be made so small, and not have some time of active cooling.
Seriously even if my NAS Server with a marvell 1.2ghz CPU has some type of cooling fan!
this is just ridiculous
Mine also tends to heat up. I then always take off the case and try to get it cooled down somehow. But i've experienced it myself: half an hour gps+navigation=processor hot as hell and battery drained down from 85% to 15%...hope the latest firmware update fixes this...and btw: heat is not very good for any kind of battery. It makes them drain faster afaik!

Well I have a 1mA charger which I used with my HTC Desire to charge it during driving and navigating. It worked well with my HTC Desire (the HTC Desire also needs a pin connection, otherwise it won't charge fast enough during navigating) but the same charger did not work very well with the SGS2. Yesterday during navigation the battery level dropped slowly... Even though I used the same charger as I used with my HTC Desire.

The competion of thickness between samsung and apple,or other android os manufucture like S.E has crushed samsung's mind.To elicit applause,the Korean giant just sacrificed the stability to make a both thin and powerful phone.
It's hard to say the choice is wise or not.But we can already find this company is becoming upset due to the pressure from the opponents.

I received my Nexus 4 in the mail yesterday and I have been charging it while in the car sometimes. Has anyone experienced the back of their Nexus 4 becoming hot while charging the phone inside a car? I'm using a Griffin Car charger and an HTC USB cord from one of my old phones (I've used the charger and cord for other phones, MyTouch 4G and HTC Sensation 4G, without a problem. When I charge the phone with the LG charger or any other wall charger (inside my house) the back of the phone doesn't seem to get warm. Could it be the USB Cord is the issue? Didn't think that would be a problem but I'll try a different one tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience.
did you use your phone while charging? i'am thingking about navigation?!
mine gets a bit warm while charging, but not noteable if it is uncovert, and it gets warm while google maps runs, both together makes it quite warm, plus, putting it in a carholder where its back is covert...
but nothing you should worry about, other phones do the same...
You don't need to worry until the battery gets above 60°C. Li-po batteries can be damaged above that. Monitor the temp while charging in the car

After further review, I have realized it just isn't warm when I'm charging it in my car.

Has anyone else experienced the back of their Nexus 4 getting warm during normal use and charging? Just trying to figure out if this is a defect or it's normal for the device.

It's normal if you're using stock voltage. I undervolted my Nexus 4 and it rarely gets above 35°C off of the charger.

How do you "undervolt" it? I just picked the phone up off the charger (after not using it for ten minutes) and the battery temperature was 36C. This was using the charger that came with the phone.

You have to unlock the bootloader, root, install a kernel that supports undervolting and lower the voltage that the CPU uses. You see, each chip is different. When creating the stock kernel they figure out what voltage range all phones will work on, then add some to be safe. The higher voltage = more heat. You experiment a little to see how low you can go and have a stable device and leave the settings. It's easier than it sounds.

I was having the same issue and I never thought of lowering the voltage. The thing runs like butter anyway, so it won't hurt for it to slow down just a tad so it doesn't get to 50C.
Thanks.
Or more like charging issues?
I've got this phone in December and I'm pretty satisfied with it. The only thing that kinda annoys me is the fact that my phone often won't charge properly and I'm not sure if it's because of the charger (the one that comes with the Nexus) or the battery.
When I charge it, it says that it's charging. Just like it should be. The problem is though, that it's not really charging. A few seconds later it says that it's discharging, not even a second later it's charging again, then discharging and it goes like that all the time. I'm almost sure that this harms my battery a lot. When I let it charge over night, most of the time the battery level is under 100% (50-60% are more likely) and that is kinda frustrating when going to work.
So I want to know: does anybody have the same issue or something similar? Or do I just have a faulty device/charger? This issue has been plaguing me for around a month now.

Have you tried it with another charger? I always use a universal charger and that works fine. If that doesn`t help it is probably a hardware issue and you`ll need to get it fixed.

Unfortunately I don't have any charger with an output of 1.2A. All of them are under 1.2A and most are broken anyway (also chargers from my last phone, LG Optimus 2X). Seems like I'm just not that lucky when it comes to chargers.. I'll try to find one though. Thanks for the reply.

Just to test it, use your computer usb. It isn't full power but it is enough to see if there is an issue. Maybe a new cable?

Not sure if this is related to my computer now but when I plug it in it says charging and as soon as the MTP notification pops up it doesn't charge anymore.
Should I try to fully discharge my battery and then recharge it?

Okay so I somehow fixed it.. most likely temporarily but it seems like the issue is the cable. I pretty much "straightened" the cable with my fingers (was applying pressure to the cable and then went slowly downwards) and that apparently worked o_o..
Now it's been charging for 15 minutes without disconnecting once. I hope it'll remain like that..
