charging problems

I have a rooted skyrocket running stock rom and when I am charging and using it at the same time the touch screen goes crazy. Has anyone experienced this and what can I do to fix it?

Like it'll lag to unlock? Or get stuck/freeze on the lockscreen?

I'll be scrolling website and it will select instead of scroll or be brousing through photos and instead of going to the next pic the current one will zoom. When I'm typing a email or text it puts the wrong lettoer up or don't space. The screen just does crazy things.
It only does it when its charging because when I unplug it the crazyness stops

Same here. My phone has a mind of its own when charging. Off the charge and its fine..

What charger are you using? I think this is revered to as a "grounding issue"
I notice it when using really powerful chargers
1a and lower don't seem to cause the issue

Listen to the cube when it's plugged in.. If you hear a high pitched whine you need to have at$t replace your charger and possibly your battery.. At the least your charger, battery is just a hey give me something.

Guy I bought my SR from had three of them and had to have all of his chargers replaced twice.. One of them three times until he got good ones.. And the one he gave me wasn't good.. I ended up using my i777 charger and throwing the cube one away.

Audio quality

Hello everyone.
I've Switched to skyrocket 1 month ago, it is great phone - but audio quality sucks comparing to my previouse Motorola mb611.
Call quality is acceptable, but still not so good. But music is awful, flat sound and background noise.
I'm Now on official Rogers 4.1 rom - is there any fixes for audio exist ?
Thank you all at advance.

It's a good tweak but you can do only so much with the phones external speakers. They do suck.
It can vastly improve headphone quality. IMHOP.

Are you talking about the phones external speaker or other speakers like car audio, stereos, etc?
If you're talking about the actual phone speaker, I don't know because I would never use that to play music.

ya i was disappointed the with the speaker on the back of the phone. Had to use a friends iPhone when making a call on speakerphone because we couldn't understand a god damn thing coming from the from my skyrocket speaker.
Call audio quality is weak in general; I'll try the KingBeatz and see if that helps, thanks.

I had read somewhere that the idea was being kicked around to take one of the skyrocket ROMs and branch it off into several specialized ROMs, one of them being audio. Does anyone know if this is still in the works?

Wired hands free kit not working!?

Hi guys, I've had the phone for a while but never thought to try it with a hands free kit. So I tried to make a call with my beats solo headphones with the control talk cable. Mic was not responding but I could hear the person on the other side. The phones internal mic was also disabled. I then tried it with a HTC headset, same outcome. Not sure whether the Nexus is just not compatible with a wired hands free kit or its just my device.
Any advice?

Have you tried using the cable on another device or a friends device to test the mic? Did you seat the jack all the way down? There's no definitive click but the jack should be able to go all the way down. I have used the mic with a few wired headsets, Sol Republic Amps HD and my V-Moda M100's. I have used the mic on both without an issue.

Works with both of mine to

I've tried the headsets on a HTC One S and a One X and they seemed to work fine on them!
I also tried them on my father's Nexus too but didn't seem to work with his phone either.
So stupid! I don't know why my Nexus's are having this problem?

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

so no one can help me?

I just looked at your head phones online. Honestly I think it is where the connections are placed on the head phone jack.
All my wired head sets have three lines on the jack. The beats solo shows only two in the pictures.
This is the only logical thing I can come up with

Undoubtedly the speaker volume on the 4.4.2 is much higher. I would say it is perfect atm. The only problem I can see at the moment is the hissing sound on the silence parts of a recorded video/sound....

I'd recommend against buying this phone if you want good speakers bro. For obvious reasons lol

Headphone jack

I have a problem.. I used to use Sony earphones with my nexus all this time and since last one week was a bit busy so stopped using earphones.. Today however to my surprise I plugged in the earphones and it doesn't recognize.. I tried three different company headphones but they are not recognized as well..
Any help?

Reboot? Wipe cache/dalvik? Factoryreset?
