Has anyone else noticed this. I have 4 friends with the TB and all of our phones are noticeably laggy when plugged in and it gets worse as the charge gets more full. If I plug my phone in at 90%+ I have to unplug it just to respond to a text message, other wise I am stuck typing a letter every 2-3 seconds.
I have experienced this on stock ROM, BAMF Remix 1.6 and the GB BAMF I am currently on. Of my friends one is still on stock and sees this. The other two are on GB BAMF.
As an experiment I plugged it into my car charger and when the phone is above 75%ish, it starts to interfere with AM radio signals while charging on the car charger; unplug it, and the radio works fine.
I have had cell phones since 1997 and this is the first I have ever seen of this. Anyone else experiencing this?
Yes, I have this problem as well..I heard it was from using non OEM chargers but I could be wrong

I am using the charger that came with my phone but a 3rd party USB cable (because it is longer). ::shrug:: I can try the original cable when I get home.
thought it was just me...Have same problem when the phone hits around 90 it gets real sluggish and then I have to take it off the charger to get it back to normal. I am on stock and using the charger that came with the phone.

Plugged my USB cable into my Belkin brand iPhone charger and it runs just fine. Did HTC make their chargers out of spec? I don't have the equipmnt to test.
I use the stock equipment HTC boxed with the phone as well as a Verizon car charger and I've never experienced this... I have a rooted friend who uses a 3rd party USB cord, let me cross-reference with him and test a couple different cord/charger configurations to see what happens. But basically I should see my TB start to lock up more and more relative to the charge?

Yeah, it seems related to being close to full charge. I am on an extended battery if that matters at all. On a 3rd party charger I notice it significantly less.
I would say its the extended battery, like I said this has never been a problem for me and my friend and I can't reproduce the issue on either cord, but then again we'really both on the stock battery... Interesting!

Quick fix for this is to reboot your bolt while it's plugged in and charging. One of the new dasbamf roms has the perm fix in it.
I have the same problem on rooted thunderbolt, stock battery, using oem charger as well as 3rd party. it doesnt always happen but often enough that i usually just pull the phone off the charger now if i need to use it.

...but the USB is charging fine. If I charge via USB for a bit, it will then allow AC charging (indicator changes to charging) for a limited amount of plugins (so far just 2 or 3). Power cycling and swapping batteries had no effect. Anybody else seen this yet?
I've got my own Infuse and it's not affected in the same way. Pretty sure I'll take hers back and trade it for a new one. I suspect this is just a fluke hardware issue, but being as we're all on the bleeding edge wih the Infuse it wouldn't hurt to share/ask.

true, good thinking. also, he could try charging his infuse on her charger
Tried it on my A/C adapter with same results.
Kept the cord in the phone and just moved the big usb end to the computer and same results.
At least it's reproduceable on her phone... I'll be swapping it out later today.

Did you ever sort this out or just swap it?
i had a similar issue, but my phone also though it was connected to a computer. i did a factory reset and flashed to stock to bring it back tothe store and te phone stopped giving me trouble. now it seems the usb connector may be the problem and the factory reset seeming to fix it was maybe just a coincidence. if i plus some usb cords into it it will go into usb debugging connected mode if it is not lined up strait.
I swapped it out. New one has been fine.

Yes you are correct. It also drains more than charging when you use the Mobile Hotspot.
Were you on 4G or WiFi?
I had the same problem in my car streaming bluetooth audio. I got a better charger and it wasn't as bad.
Well that sucks. I wish sammy would have thought that out. Thanks for the help.

It's all about the charger. Ever notice how the low battery warning says to stop using it or it will charge inefficiently? A normal computer USB port puts out 500 milliamps, a Droid X charger puts out 850, and the Charge charger does 1 amp. Basically, the higher the charger amperage, the faster the charge. The Charge charger might not be able to meet the demands of the device while it's under heavy use, which is why I use my Galaxy Tab charger (2A). It works perfectly.
EDIT: tl;dr the ROM does not matter for charging, it's all about the hardware. Use a higher amp charger.

Thanks for advice. That is a simple solution

I feel like there's something weird going on with me. Using mobile hotspot seems to drain less energy than charging for me with the stock charger, except there's an issue if I let it charge up to 100% while using mobile hotspot. If I let this happen, it seems to stop charging and tricks the battery into thinking that it's still at 100% when it's in fact draining. If I unplug it after some time (when it still think it's at 100%) I'll see the actual battery life percentage as if it stopped charging when it reached 100%.
My temporary solution to this is to unplug when I get to 100% and plug it back in when my battery is low and it'll eventually reach 100% again then repeat (all while mobile hotspot is active). Of course this is not an ideal solution... I sometimes wonder if it has anything to do with the full battery notification/popup because ever since I switched to the Gingerbread leak I haven't been able to disable that. I think if I use a ROM with it already disabled, I can leave my phone plugged in and mobile hotspot won't ever drain to empty. Not sure if I have tested this thoroughly enough though.
I use a 1A charger, but the phone only charges around 250mAh. The phone purposely charges at a lower rate. This has been discussed many times. The software is a deciding factor too.

Same thing happens to me. I have 1A and higher chargers, but because the phone doesn't recognize it, it refuses to charge at the higher rate.

It is a software limitation. I had the original incredible for a while, one of the big deals with it was charging it in the car while using GPS.
One update they turned on slow charging, but then devices were dieing as they were being charged, so they pushed another update out to reverse it so they would receive a faster charge.
So you are limited by the hardware and what it can handle, as well as the software and how its programmed to handle it...
If its software maybe the devs can adjust this in their roms

Heya,
So when my girlfriend plugs her inspire into her laptop it says the phone is using too much voltage/current than what its being provided so it wont charge... Though when i am at her house and charge my vivid with her wall plug i feel like my phone charges a lot more slowly.. Could this be a cable problem for her or an electrical problem?
She lives in a older house so that made me wonder if it could be electrical or something...
I also just recently got it back from HTC because of a dead motherboard and i charged it at my house no problem...
The phone is running WCX Sense 3.5 1.5ghz ROM if that brings any light on the subject
Edit: was a cable/wall charger problem and is fixed
Make sure that you are using the original cable. Some USB cables do not work properly...try using a different one to see what happens

People on here suck ass at titling threads properly, thus making finding relevant topics a pain in my ****. I hate you people who type "HURR DURR MY PHONES BROKE".
Anyways, whenever I have my G2X (P999DW) on a charger, whether USB or wall, the touchscreen doesn't follow a constant finger press and dragging for very long. It will dodge off in random directions at random times. Needless to say, this makes typing or even unlocking my phone a rather tedious process.
I was wondering if this was a known issue or not. At first I thought it was because I had before ran CM7 with the Trinity 1.5ghz kernel from DerKernel.com
I had tried running mine at 1.5ghz, but it wouldn't take. I managed to run it at 1.2ghz with a slight overvolt, and it ran stable.
Well, I've recently been forced to reinstall a new Android version on it, and went with a MIUI variant, and decided to run it only at the stock 1.0ghz now, but it's still being wonky when I plug it in to charge it.
Gingerbread 2.3.7 MIUI on it now. CM7 before. It never did this with the stock rom, I could play games on it for hours when it was plugged into my laptop.

I had this problem when I was using a different charger, but I'm not sure why this would happen on the original. It was very strange indeed... Maybe just try a different charger and see if you have the same problem.
My G2X did that with almost all chargers except the original LG charger and a BlackBerry charger. My Atrix 2 does it with all chargers, including the included Moto charger.
My old iphone did this with a really cheap charger.
I'd just try another cable.

It's RF interference disrupting the display hardware. A different charger or cable might help. Otherwise you might try for a warranty replacement.

Try a different charger? Also, if the phone was charged by USB, use the wall charger instead. Some USB ports may cut power when the computer is asleep, etc. For instance, I usually connect my phone to my PC using the USB ports on my monitor (just because they are conveniently located). Those ports get shutdown when the computer goes to sleep, which I always forget.

Well she plugs into the wall, never the computer. And the charger she uses is the charger that came w/ the phone. If its the charger that could possibly be the issue then I'll tell her to get it swapped out at an at&t store but I really don't think that's the issue honestly

Chargers can definitely just crap out, even if new. MicroUSB chargers are pretty common, and I've used ones for other devices (like my Motorola Bluetooth headset) on my One X just fine. If you have another MicroUSB charger laying around, its worth checking (just to eliminate the charger as the cause) rather than having to run to the store.
Otherwise, its possible there is something wrong with the microUSB jack on the phone itself, or some other hardware or software problem with the phone. If the charger is not the problem, backup personal data and factory reset the phone. If the problem still occurs, I'd recommend getting a warranty replacement.

Can you confirm that there was a "lightning bolt" in the battery icon in the status bar? If it's charging, there should be a lightning bolt in it. Check when you plug in the charger and just before unplugging it. If the lighting bolt is missing then most likely there is no current going into the device to charge the battery. It could also be a bad battery if the charger is working fine.
