Is anyone else experiencing a buggy screen during charge. I used touch test to see what's going on during charge and it shows really jumpy and nonresponsive jumps.
I charge with a generic cable rather than stock, and I'm using a Motorola charger with a mini f to micro m adapter.
I'm not sure whether it's my phone or these wires. You guys get the same problems?
Sidenote: Charging my HTC Aria with these cables, theres no problems.
I noticed the phone is picky about chargers. I used a travel charger I bought for my blackberry and the screen was unresponsive. Used me blackberry branded charger and it worked fine.

It is your cable setup- there are posts on other forums. If you use the Moto cable and charger you will be fine.
I have the same problem. I'm using the moto cable and charger but using a dc to ac inverter in my car.

I made a post about this the other day. Mine seems completely random. My phone will completely lock up and it requires a battery pull. I can go a week using the same charger and it may not do it then out the blue it will lock up.

It makes no sense at all! Never had this problem with any other phone ever before

I had the same problem using a clone travel charger from ebay. I also had a clone usb cable that won't recognize the Epic as a mass storage. I bought from this guy on ebay that sells OEM Samsung accessories and they all work perfectly for me.
Be very careful with these things, folks... many charges can have terrible voltage regulators on them. You don't want to kill a very nice phone now, do you. Stick with a good charger and cable. I use the stock cable and the Palm Pre charger cable. I've never had screen issues or lockups with other chargers, but I only use the Palm and Samsung chargers, to be honest.
Yes, be wary of cheapo chargers!
I was able to get a OEM Blackberry MicroUSB charger off amazon for about 4 bucks shipped and it works fine to charge my Epic. My friend also gave me one of her extra HTC chargers which came with her EVO and they also work fine.
my charger is a 800ma sanyo which should not cause issues. I have not had the issue within the past week either.
Guys, check the output voltage of your chargers... specially on the cheap ones. its supposed to be no more than 5V. I broke my Hero's screen with a cheap charger with 5.5 V output. It starts by acting weird , then it looses touch capability when its connected and then stops working at all...
Hi,
I have weird problem. When I am charging my G1 with charger, digitizer gets crazy, it doesn't react on that place where I touch screen (e.g. I touch in upper left corner, and behaves like I slided bottom middle), but when I slide/open keyboard, everything is OK and also when I charge from USB on computer. Problem is only when I'm charging with charger, with closed keyboard.
I tried more than one charger, result is the same. Also I used more ROMs. And I have bought this G1 second hand.
Have you any ideas? Is it HW problem or could it be SW?
thanks.
Are you using a generic charger & what rom are you running?
Oh I have the same problem too. I solved it by using a Motorola charger. It's only 500mA so it charges slower, but the screen doesn't go crazy.

I think that charger I tried at first was stock for G1, but I'm not sure. And now I am using new charger from ebay which is 500mA
it was crazy also on not rooted 1.6, and now I am using Biffmod 2.0.1, on 1.8 that same.

I have 500mA charger, but it doesn't mean, that what's written on that charger is true, it is something cheap from ebay
but it makes sense, when I slide keyboard, it maybe uses more energy and from charger and then doesn't "overpower" digitizer (hope you understand what I mean)
need to find "slower" charger
I would spend a little extra & get the factory charger. If i recall you can find the old HTC tytn or any of those old school windows mobile 6.1 chargers for under $10 & they should work (make sure its not the micro usb kind). I found one on ebay the other day for $6 shipped.
Wow! I didn't think that I would've been the charger. I've having the same problem now I back using the factory charger and no problems at all. The charger that I was using was from a purchase I made off of ebay.

Same here with a generic charger (came with an 2200 battery)
mAh doesnt seem to be the problem, mine goes crazy with the 800mAh generic (BLU brand) charger, but works fine with the 1A HTC charger that came with my old 8125
So I went to plug in my phone using the stock charger and it would not charge. The charger would however charge other devices including my N7. I tried several different chargers and none would charge it. My N7 charger was here at work so I could not try that until now. Plug it in and instantly charging. Why would the N4 charger quit working on the phone but still charge other things.
Im so confused!
It probably has something to do with the terminals inside the connector. They must not be making a solid connection
the wall plug in part of the stock charger is junk. mine makes a loud ticking noise and gets really hot. i don't trust it, i use the stock charging wire with an old HTC plug in and its been problem free

Sometimes when I charge my phone I get spikes of charging then not charging. Wonder if this is a problem with the USB port or its just a dust issue there?

I think this phone just has a retarded charging port. The plug doesn't stay in securely which causes the phone to charge slow, first of all. And I recently started having the problem you described. It will say charging, not charging back and forth a bunch of times. Are you using a case? When this happens, I take off my case to make sure the plug is in there securely and I also make sure the AC adapter is plugged into the wall securely and that the USB plug is plugged into the AC adapter securely as well. This usually helps.
Charging this phone is such a headache sometimes.
That happened to me like a month ago and the charger was the culprit. But I also had slow charging (even with the wall adapter, it would eventually change to USB charging) and it wouldn't reach full charge. You might want to try another charger, just in case.

I've seen this also and cleaned my USB pins...seemed to help.

I have to agree. I am using a different charger because the one it came with sucks. I would wake up to a phone that had 50% even though it was on the charger all night.

My Nexus 4 does this when I use the LG USB cable, but I don't remember if it happened with the stock charger. I lost that a long time ago, and now I use the charger from my old Motorola Atrix, which works fine if I use a cable other than the LG cable. I think my cable is damaged, but it feels like the cable always did that. If I plug my dads Atrix HD into the LG cable, it does the same unstable charging as my Nexus.
I have the same issue, have tried multiple chargers and cables, even happens over Qi.
I have a replacement phone coming
Had this too, charger was broken, just try another charger first.
I'm now using a standard samsung charger
I had this problem with the official charger, but it works well when I charge it using my computer usb ports (I prefer lower current when I charge over night) and the Nexus 10 charger.
Thanks for all your responses...it seems to be better now after cleaning the ports....but still happens sometimes...I'm trying to do a RMA for it but have a question...what if during their testing it didn't happen would I need to pay for the replaced device?

Hi when i charge my phone using this new charger that i bought, this new charger has no adapter, it has a built in connector to plug directly without the need of adapter. When im using this my samsung screen works slowly than when not charging..
But when I use my old samsung charger with a need of adapter, the screen acts fast.
Any help? Is the new charger works to be this way?
There is a reason why everybody recommends using an original charger.
Using one of those cheap chargers can cause problems.
Try to get an original Samsung Galaxy S4 charger.
