Hi,
is anyone elses Nexus 5 becoming kind of slow when it is connected to the charger? I mean it doesnt feel snappy in the menus like there is an input delay.
is this normal behaviour?

Are you charging it using an AC wall outlet or via USB on a computer? It will charge slower on USB but if plugged into a wall, should charge rather fast.
If it's not seeming snappy, perhaps try a restart first and see if that affects anything.
its on both, AC and USB and i am not referring to the speed of charging rather then to the speed of the phone.
It was on Stock and now it is on Catalysm with Franco too.
If i unplug it everything is back to normal.
A reboot doesnt fix it

I would venture a guess that your kernel settings have messed it up. Roll back to stock and see if it resolves itself.
do you think just a flash of the stock kernel resetts those settings? i have had this Problem with the stock Rom too. (cant say how it was before unlocking and rooting, did that right away)
edit: after a bit of searching i found similar threads but on other phones.
they say it could be because of interferences from the cable with the digitizer.. ill try another charger and then flashing back to the stock kernel

Hey guys,
I just wanted to bump up this thread and see if this is a common issue or not. My Nexus 5 becomes really unresponsive and choppy while charging, especially when scrolling or pinch-zooming. I've tried different chargers (from other manufacturers because I don't have a second "original" Nexus 5 charger) as well as different sockets but it happens everytime - sometimes it's less noticeable but it's never the phone never feels as responsive as it should or as it feels while unplugged.
I've also made a little video demonstrating the problem: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/74551292/nexus5_slow_while_charging.mp4
I also read threads about this issue happening on other devices with hints to the charger being the source of error. Because of my tests with other chargers I'm not so sure. Although all of my other chargers do have a lower output (maximum of 1A) instead of the original charger's 1.2A.
So what do you guys think?

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.
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.
Are you charging it with the original USB Cable?

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.

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?

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.

From my understanding you're using a custom ROM and kernel (" Franco and cat"). Did you mess with the CPU speed or something? It could be a bad flash. This question probably would be better suited in the " Franco or Cat" post. Maybe someone else had the same issue and they found a workaround.

Don't know of this will be relevant but I've had this problem on other phones. It turned out to be cheap chargers and cables. My desire HD did it, problem went away when using the OEM charger.
Hope this helps.

Sometimes thermal throttling can make the device lag whilst charging. I've seen this here a few times

I've seen this happen on a Nexus 4 when the AC charger couldn't provide enough amps. Check the usb and wall adapter.

Me too used to have that problem with my nexus 4 and a samsung 2.0 amp charger , it is supposed to be the original, anyway , the problem fade away once i start using the OEM charger shipped with the nexus 4 1.2 amp
Just and FYI on this.
Chargers are supposed to be polarity free for the wall outlet and this is why they have two skinny plugs and not one skinny and one fat.
Flip the charger around. I have seen this on several phones and in several forums that once you flip the charger around on the wall outlet it works fine.
Cheap chips inside can be affected by the AC current and some manufactures screwed up on their diode placement so power was only applied for half a second lol. So your phone fips out thinking that it is charging then not charging. gotta love technology.
This is not always the case as some people had faulty chargers period but this issue has been reported and found to be, most of the time, a polarity issue with the wall outlet.
Last but no least a bad power source can really screw with you. Whether its the wall or a bad charger or dirty power can really screw with sensitive equipment. Pretty much goes with what red dragon was saying.
Does anyone else have an issue with fast charging? I am using the original cable/charger that came in the box and I have to unplug/replug it in anywhere from 2-6 times for it to register as fast charging, sometimes more. I have also tried using the charger that came with my Note 4, same issue. Tried using a different wall outlet, same issue. I noticed a thread on Android Central references this same issue but as that is not purely T-Mobile brands, it's hard to gauge where the issue comes from.
Anyone else experiencing this?
If the usb isn't fully plugged in to the adapter, it won't fast charge. I haven't had any issues fast charging with the included charger or the note 4 charger.

I'm currently running ForeverLoco's ROM but I was running stock (both BOH4/BOH6) before recently flashing FL's ROM and the issue still happened. I'm starting to think it was a bad batch of devices sent to T-Mobile from what I am reading on Android Central forums. Was hoping someone here would have a suggestion for a fix but I might just have to take in and replace it since I'm still within the 14 day window.
Get a new one bro. Take it back and plug it in the store. Test it.

might as well get something new then a refurb one.
I have this issue but far less common for it to annoy me. Usually when I plug in our check my notification to make sure fast charging is enabled. My s6
Charger doesn't fast charge at all (same model number and same everything). The original charger fast charges 95% of the time. Yesterday was only the 2nd time I had to reseating the charger after I noticed I was still on 17% after 15min. And didn't see the fast charge notification.
Could be for me what someone else said about not plugging in all the way as it happens once in a blue but idk. My s6 had the same problem if it even is a problem.

This normal. The note 5 does not fast charge while the screen is On specially if the phone is being used... Is a safety precaution which is already answered by Samsung. I also had this issued and I was worried..

This is a known issue with the update to 5ERA1. I had the exact same thing happen to mine. Phone will only do fast wireless. My charging port is emaculate. My wife just updated to 5ERA1 and her note 5 is glitching like crazy.
Wait, i have the same thing, but this is because of the cable or charger. I saw it a couple of weeks ago and now it happens a lot, so, when i connect my phone and its not fast charging, i just unplug the cable, wiggle it a bit and connect back. It doesnt work all the time so i might repeat this 2-3 time and in the end its fast charging. When i tried another good cable, it was fast charging all the time so before buying a new phone. try another good cable hope thats your problem
