stock HTC charger causing touchscreen issues. video for proof another works give

Connected to the htc charger the phone wigs unless touching the phone while touching the screen. Connected to my vibrant charger it works fine without issue,no need to ground it.
I know people said connected to charger it has issues but its specifically the stock one (atleast in my case,hopefully you too) and the charger itself causing the issue. So get a new charger. Htc will have to make new ones cause these are junk.....

Crazy ,anyone know how or why that's happening inside the htc charger?

I had the problem with.the charger if the phone was on its back laying somewhere and I tried to use the Screen it would go crazy. My replacment charger comes in on Monday. Hopefully they have fixed the problem.

Yep, I have no issues while charging the phone with the stock charger/USB cable.

No issues so far. Charger, no charger, holding it, not holding it. Never any problems with screen responsiveness. But I've only had it 3 days, so we'll see. Knocking on wood while typing...

Dude, you might actually be on to something. I have come to the conclusion that whether anyone believes it or not. The touch screen issue IS NOT a software issue. I really do think that over time, the device is holding on to static electricity which is causing the issues. My old phone that was doing this would stop after I pulled the battery for 1 hour but would start to act back up as the day went on.
Plus, this is the first Android device I've used where the battery starts acting up if you don't use the cable included with the Sensation.

I had the exact same issue. I use my MT3G charger now, as I like the shape much better. I hate how the Sensation charger sticks out so far from the wall.

You exchanged the whole phone for a bad charger? That seems..... excessive

It had touchscreen issues in general. The whole charger thing just put it over the top.

I can't believe it
I too have this problem but not with the stock charger. Since I got my phone I have been using the same old no name charger with no name usb cable. Until I came upon this posting and tried to unlock my phone or type something while it was charged it would go crazy. I even touched the phone as in the video and tried to use the touch screen but it didn't work as normal. Now I have to try and use the stock charger to see if its the phone or the charger it self.
**used the stock HD2 charger and cable and no problems**

I was thinking this exact same thing.... About the static electricity...
Another weird thing is that even when you plug in the wionky charger, the first few swipes are golden, then about 3 swipes later, wonky.

I've used my old BlackBerry USB cable to sync it and have had no problems. It's really surprising to see so many people with problems...I was actually going to return my Sensation because of the WiFi death grip issue but I don't want to run the risk of getting another one of these issues.

Maybe the stock causes issues like mine and another charger is fine .... Just checked again my stock charger makes it crazy..
And don't exchange for WiFi issue.. they all have it. Well the three I've had..

Haven't had any issues with the stock charger but I mostly use the Nexus one wall charger due to its awesome length,imo It's the best charger htc has provided with a device

And yea, what's up with this two foot charger junk..lol. I feel like I'm humping the socket using it while charging..

I can certainly say that it the problem affects more devices than you think. I'm not totally sure what causes it but you guys should see my zune hd.. It will literally control itself. Play music by itself, go in and out of menus (super fast by the way). If you guys want a video I can upload one if I can find it... It freaked me out when it first started to happen keep in mind, the zune is perfectly normal and works fine. The charger was one of those cheap chinese stuff.. So it could be a quality issue. I have yet to have the problem on my myTouch 4g though. I had it in a vibrant, hd2, I think even a G2 .

My Nexus1 used to do that on some chargers. Had to turn the screen off and back on to get it to clear up. Figured they were just slightly out of spec chargers and tried not to use them anymore.

[Q] Help - Touch screen not as responsive to clicks when tablet is on charge

I do not know whether others have this issue and noticed the touch becomes a little unresponsive to clicks when the tablet is charging.
Wanted to know is this something only with my tablet or does anyone face the same issue its just I need to press a little hard to click scrolling and all is fine

Same thing happens to mine

U are absolutely right ..i was trying to figure out why my touchscreen was unresponive at times but not all the time ,when i stumbled on this post....i took out the charger and it was very smooth but when i put it back on the problem resurfacs...
I wonder why this happens

Same here for all my samsung tabs (7 , 10.1 and n8000 )

I noticed this on my Samsung Galaxy SII phone today. I figure it's that the capacitive screen is messed up somehow by the extra electromagnetic field of the charge coming down the wire or something. Maybe I have a "noisy" power supply. I might changing chargers tonight and see if that affects it at all, in case the charger is dodgy and creating some sort of line noise. Who knows.
If you hold the device firmly in your other hand (rather than, say, having it on a table) it seems to improve things a lot. After all, that's how capacitive works.

Yes it is how capactive work but it is Samsung's fault not to proper ground the screen , HTC products are well grounded and don't have this issues

Well I thought so I was worried that this was an issue with charger or something but until its normal issue I am ok with it

I've had this happen on my Samsung devices when using no-name chargers, never with the official charger though.

It happens with the stock charger too and yeah it is Samsung's fault. I was quite surprised when I first noticed it coz the difference in responsiveness is huge.

Juat a quick note , after changing the charger the problem is solved , the problem is in the grounding of the charger not with the note itself , but the fact is that most Samsung chargers are defective , 3 out of 4 chargers that I have have this problem

Touch Screen Not Working

Morning all,
My Xoom (MZ602) was exposed to some water. While the unit powers up and the screen comes on its not responding to touch, swipe, etc. Does this mean the digitizer is prolly shot? I am trying to determine what spare parts I need to purchase to bring this beloved device back to full operation.
Thanks,
Steve

I think my battery went bad and mine was doing the same thing as yours but only when plugged up. Once I unplugged it the touchscreen worked fine. No the battery is dead and won't charge

Mine does it either plugged or unplugged. I can charge the device with no issues. Based on all I have read it looks like I will replace the screen and digitizer, and go from there.
Thanks!

[Q] Erratic Ghost Touches

Has anyone had a problem with their nexus 5 where the screen would randomly start pressing things? It usually happens multiple times and is very erratic. Contacted Google and will send back for a replacement just wondering if anyone else is having this issue.

Yap, me too.

Had it a while back but it seems to have stopped.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Never anything like that but what I have done a few times is my palm touches the bottom right of the screen when I reach for the top left corner while right handing it. Coming from an iPhone so I guess it took a bit to get used to the larger screen

I requested for a replacement to Google Play this morning. They send it this evening. I should
get my replacement early next week. Good service I would say.

I'm glad I'm not going crazy! This is happening to me too! Is there any way to resolve this without having to go through the RMA process?

Only While Charging
I'm getting some erratic touch behavior, but only when the phone is charging. I take it off the charger and it seems fine.
I'm not getting total phantom behavior, but when I swipe from home screen to home screen, sometimes an app will get activated. Same with pulling down the notification area.
It makes me think there's a charge leaking through to the display components somehow.
I'm going to give it a week and then RMA it if it doesn't go away.

I have it too
I have it too but only when I connect my USB to the computer...
It's sucks cos I'm an app developer...
Is there any fix for that?

Sounds like a dodgy USB cable or port.

Same issues with my Nexus 4
I notice my issue is mostly when my phone is charging or when I'm using my mobile hotspot. Tends to get extra warm when im using both. Which leads me to believe its an overheating issue (the heat is throwing off the digitizer causing it to maybe think its being touched?) Is anyone else noticing the same?

Yes, but only while on wireless charger and even then only sometimes.
I take it off, push power button twice and it's gone.

I'm also experiencing this if my Nexus 5 is charging using the original Wall charger and cable.
Still no fix for this? Really annoying, I need to unplug my phone to the charger so that I can use it again normally
Same issue here

This usually happens when you use some other charger/usb cable than the original one

Jumping screen when charging?

I've only just noticed a small issue with my device. When plugged into the wall charger, the screen will jump around a bit when scrolling. Not huge movements, but enough to get annoying and seem unsmooth. Absolutely fine when when I'm not charging though! Bizarre.
Can anyone else test this? Reckon it's worth me contacting Google to sort it?

Had an similar problem on other devices. May be some badly insulated contacts at the charging port or the touch screen panel.
However I am not 100% sure about this.
Would contact Google in your case though. It definitely isn't normal and seems to be hardware-related.

r u using the original charger?
i had a similar problem with my iphone using cheap chinese charger.
