Anyone else when they plug the charger in the wall and put your ear up to it. Even if the device isn't plugged in. Do you hear that....crazy sound?

Yup. Its crazy. It will make that noise for 5 or so seconds after I unplug it. I wonder why.

my Nexus 4 charger does that. they seem to be exactly the same. but my nexus 5 charger doesnt do it. i think it's just the components in the charger making noise. i've never had an issue with my nexus 4 when using the noisy charger. i've heard that when others contacted LG about it they were requested to send in the phone as well as the charger to get it replaced/fixed. but i never bothered with it as it worked fine and never did anything weird.
Lol.. After having the phone for close to a month now I first started noticing this today.. Funny coincidence with this thread

Nothing wrong. It is the charger DC/DC inductor core vibration upon switching current. If the inductor is sealed good, no sound, otherwise you hear something.
Found this too, but my AC charger only does it sometimes, usually when the phone is almost charged, say 96% or so.
Not sure about normal, I used my Nokia charger last night to charge my N5, in all the time it i've charged my Lumia 1020 it's never buzzed, guess what , does with the N5 plugged in, TBH didn't feel safe and unplugged it while I slept.

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.
I'm a day one infuse user. Its been a great phone. But my issue is I recently adopted a little kitty and she runs around like normal little kitties do. Well she ran by and drug my infuse off my night stand and it must have landed on the plug while it was charging. (feels sloppy and bent) Surprisingly my phone still charges fine but I'm contemplating taking the phone apart and seeing what the issue is.
So my question is the phone worth taking apart and repairing the phone myself considering it still works/charges.
A little background. I'm semi technologically advanced. I'm a system administrator in an IT department. I have no issues with soldering on the insides of my phone Anyone else had this issue and repaired their plug.
If it has not been done I will be willing to take some photos and show how i did it.
You never actually stated the problem your experiencing...only that it has some dent/bent thing near the charger...

Plugging the charger into the charge port on the phone feels loose and sloppy. With the charger plugged in the cable is actually pointed down a little bit instead of a straight in shot.

Have you tried another charger? The tip of that charger could be what's bent and not fitting into the phone right.

Yes, I have multiple chargers laying around the house and at work.
You say the phone still charges, but will it connect to a computer and loads drivers??
Just a thought...

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.

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?

Hi
Today i just noticed a type of squieeking noise coming from my Tf300t charger while charging the device. It kept making the noise until i plugged it out of the wall. It actually took it a couple of seconds after that i had plugged it out to completely stop. The charger works as normal though
Did it happen when the device was fully charged? It's quite a common thing if so. I don't think it's a malfunction or anything

Anyone else's charger making noise? Doesn't happen with my n4. Its a no name qi charger. I'll get a new charger if that's all it is but I want to make sure its not happening on the good ones.
Its a quiet "electronic" sound but it doesn't happen on my n4 or n7 on the same charger.

They all make some noise or another. It shouldn't be audible unless you stick it up to your ear though. If it charges properly and stops chargina at 100%, then I think you're fine.
My n4 doesn't make any noises while on the wireless charger. Or my n7.
