[Q] Thunderbolt slow when plugged in?

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.

[Q] Charging Problem

phone won't charge off usb cable and charger, or computer or anything, and ideas? Only connects to usb port on pc for about a minute before it disconnects.

Sounds like a bad cable man

great, just checked walmart and they don't seem to sell them in stores, so I'm out a charger

Also check the USB port and make sure they're clean. Over time they get full of dust and dirt. But I would lean more towards it being a bad cable as strapped said.

Bad port or bad charger or bad battery. While the phone is on and plugged into AC power, remove the battery and see if it stays on.

Try actual electronics or computer stores like BestBuy, Radio Shack, MicroCenter, or any of those mom & pop stores that might be nearby.

[Q] Voltage problem?

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

Yeah found out my cable actually charged the phone a lot faster... funny thing is that mine is just a random one i bought at bestbuy xD because of my cable breaking... So weird just going to buy her my cable and call it good
Thanks for your reply

I know for sure that cheap after market chargers (like Chinese ones I know for sure) can fry your phone because of a voltage problem lol

[Q] stock, unrooted one x battery problem..help?

My friend threw her phone on charge for the whole night and woke up this morning to find her battery level low. This isn't the first time it happened either. What could cause this?
P.S. the screenshot was taken right after the phone was pulled off the charger

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.

Are you absolutely sure the power outlet was switched on? May seem like a silly question but I've done it before.

Yes there was definitely a lightning bolt when it was on. And is it possible to wipe the battery stats even if the phones not rooted?

The thing you need to look out is your output current. Recommended output is 5V 1A, it will still charge if you go higher like 1.5A or even 2.1A. Otherwise, it would not charge just like your situation. Hope it helps.

Make sure you "switch the button twice" So that you get above 1A
