Yesterday I missed a call because screen didn't respond on touch, I was blaming on tithering (which by the way had rebooted phone twice today), but today I've noticed when this happens and I unplug the phone, it instantaniosly fixes the screen (and buttons as well), plugging it back in, freezes it. Was playing with it for a minute just to make sure..
Anyone experiencing anything like this?
P.S.
Installed "CPU Guage" which shows cpu load in real time in tasks bar, I can see the numbers changes but nothing above 30%, so it wasn't CPU overload
i haven't had that, until about 2 minutes ago. funny this was posted just now, i just logged in to post about it, lol. but my phone has been fine, until just now. i plugged it in and when to change it to mass storage mode and it wouldn't respond. then it was kind of weird when it started responding. it eventually worked, but took a couple of swipes.

i also notice that when unplugged, i get around 44-45 linpack, plugged in, around 35
Nope, just tested it, plugged to the wall I could answer a call normally.
it might be because of short circuit, check ur charger or charge with another charger or cable see if it happen again.
I have it too. Anytime its plugged in it will be super laggy and/or freeze.

I haven't seen this issue on the Atrix 2 yet, but both my Samsung Moment and Samsung Epic would have screen responsiveness issues while plugged in, so it is behavior I have seen in other Android devices.
I havent had this problem. When I go to bed I put my phone on the charger, wall type, and will usually mess around on the phone for a little while before setting it down for the night. Not once has it given me this problem.

I don't have this problem all the time either, it happened only twice in two days. Just now checked it again - no problem whatsoever...
Perhaps if we trace what is running and/or what was running before this happens, we could figure something out.
Today I was using pandora, sportypal (which by the way consumes 40% cpu at times, on Atrix 4G never had this problem) and then after these two apps where closed I used mobile hotspot.
On background two apps are always running: battery cyrlce and nettraffic (there are many more apps started but they seems to be inactive, like skype which doesn't log me in automatically)
Oh and it could make difference, I use ADWLauncher EX
I don't have any of these problems. Get up every morning and check missed calls, emails, texts and FB notifications all while being plugged into the charger. Had someone call me and I answered it on speaker phone to make sure I didn't have any problems receiving a call while plugged in either
No problems so far, but I am completely stock. Phone was purchased on the Nov. 11th
wow, just had it happen.
Don't have this problem either but I am completely stock also.

I don't seem to have this problem in the morning either, I notice it at about 11am - 1pm
Today I've killed every apps that was running (excluded services), but it didn't help at all. I still suspect mobile hotspot though, it doesn't work properly...client's get disconnected, then would not able obtain IP.
OEM charger and cable only
Make sure you are using ONLY the OEM charger and OEM cable to charge your phone. They provide an extra ground path not normally supplied which is needed by your capacitive touchscreen to function normally. A "normal" micro USB cable or USb charger does not provide this.

I have a charger by my bed, a charger in my work van, a charger at my desk at work and a charger on my pc....of all those, only the one by my bed is the oem charger and the oem cord, my phone works perfectly on all of them.
Ok, it has nothing to do with the type of charger, it even happens when connected to PC as storage or charge only. Changing cables also have no affect.
Me too

I had this happen A LOT! Happened almost always with one particular charger, rarely happened when hooked up to computer USB port. Never happened in car using Griffin iPad car charger.
This was one of the frustrating things about the phone for me. Just sold, and have Galaxy Note on the way.
Hey people I have this similar issue... was searching xda for anything like this but seems this is the only place there is some issue like this happening...
I have a Galaxy S2 Running Cyanogen7 ...
Now here's what IV noticed... on stock charger I have no issues at all... nor when plugged into the PC... just today it happened and I was using a iPhone charger with a OEM Samsung USB cable... it was charging fine but the screen just wouldn't respond... as soon as unplugged would be fine... so... I'm thinking it's this charger maybe giving too much power to the phone... as my stock charger is 750ma while the iPhone one is 1A... that's the farthest IV been able to think... :s

motorola contacted me to send them my phone and car dock, and they would swap them with new units so they can use mine with testing. you should go to the motorola atrix 2 owners forums and talk to mark
I've owned this phone for roughly 36 hours. I noticed last night (which is the first night owning the phone) that when the phone is charging, it doesn't seem to acknowledge my finger touching the screen. Since the phone was new, the only apps downloaded at the time were:
Lets Golf 2
Angry Birds
Tiny Bee Demo and,
AVG Anti-Virus
Things to note:
I did download the 3 games before the anti-virus program, so the possibility of a virus is there, but not likely.
I also didn't delete any apps or change any major settings that might cause the problem.
One other odd thing I noticed, I was in the middle of a text when I plugged in the charger, and that somehow made it insert a letter. I thought it was odd so I made sure it wasn't me touching the screen and tried it again, and it typed two other random numbers.
I hope this helps somebody somewhere find the fix to this problem... :cool
Edit: I have an Atrix 2

#1 if you are downloading trusted apps, you don't need an anti-virus
#2 uninstall the anti-virus because you don't need it and it's a system resource hog
all of a sudden out of the blue my tab 7.0 plus GT-p6210 wont charge or turn on , i contacted samsung they sent me a new charger and cable , when i plug it in the batter icon shows up on screen but it doesnt move , its stuck with a chargeing circle on it.
i've tried all button combo's and removing battery , letting it charge for 2 days , anything else i can do before i call to ship it in for replacement
also how can i unlink this device from my gmail account setup on it before i ship it in .
geez all the views and not 1 responce.....
If you cannot get into your device or reset it then you can change your google password which will effectively disconnect from your account.
I did not realize the battery was removable in this device.
My battery does not have a charging circle just stacks inside the battery as it charges (4.0.4 on mine).
Can you see if from your computer? (guessing no)
From what you have tried replacement is probably your best bet.
Since you had the battery out is there a hardware rest switch inside?
Here is another threat about holding the power for 15 seconds.... probably not your issue but worth a mention.

So my Nexus 5 sometimes won't charge. For example, I plug it in at 5%, and after an hour, it is still at 5% or lower ,often even at 0%, so when I unplug it, it instantly turns off. Sometimes it charges fine to something like 20%, then it stops and battery slowly starts to discharge. There are days when it's perfect, absolutely no trouble. I should also mention that when it charges normally, the charger plug is warm-hot, when it doesn't charge, it's cold.

It's hardware. Either the cable, the charger, or the phones mini USB port.
Try a different charger and cable for starters.

Its the hardware, maybe the battery or something and its also happening to LG G2 (N5 brother), so LG's faults.
But Google posted oficcially some ways to fix it, you only need to power off the phone and plug it. Wait 30 minutes and then turn it on again, leave it charging and this time probably works.
It doesn't happen to often, but when it does, its really annoying.
I remember having this issue but only with wireless charging. Seems like an issue with the wire.
I had this issue with my Galaxy Note. It was actually a faulty chip on the motherboard that was causing my charging problems... None the less, I would first check your cable and then the micro USB port.
I have 3 chargers and 2 USB cables, tried all the possible combinations, nothing. What should I look for about the USB port?

My 5 year old daughters Galaxy tab 3 is the same. I can tell the plastic part of the mini USB port is snapped. So only the wires are holding it together. It will charge... But only when it's laying on a stable surface, untouched and sometimes I have to wiggle it til it's charging, then leave it alone til it's done.
Does it say it's charging? For me, even if it isn't charging but is plugged in, it says "Charging (AC)".
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Yeah, our tab makes the plug in noise over and over til it's good.
But just cause it says it's charging doesn't mean every pin is making proper contact with the charger or device.
I cleaned the phone's USB port with a toothpick and compressed air and so far, it's working all right again.

Oh well, it's doing that again. Charged 80% in 7 hours. Cleaning USB port didn't help.

my N5 does this but with wireless charging..
sometimes i put it on when i go to bed, and i know it starts charging
in the AM i see its lower ... checking the batt stats it shows that it charged for a few mins then stopped
dunno yet whats up, it happens sporadically.
Any chance software could cause this? Rolling back to 4.4/4.4.x or resetting factory settings would help?

that could be next step.
if a factory reset doesnt help, then u have a hardware problem. Does the batt info says "healthy" or "good" for the battery?
have u tried using a toothpick to ensure all usb pins are clean of dust?
maybe u can get another battery and change it... if a cell is going bad inside the batt it can do that too

Where can I see battery info?
I have 1.5yrs of warranty left, there's no point for me to try and change the battery on my own.

Today it didn't charge, so I decided to restart. When I had just powered off, a fully charged battery icon came on the screen and stayed for about 15 seconds. Then the screen flashes black and started showing the charging battery icon.
Anyways, I am going to flash the phone back to stock when I have time, if that doesn't help then it's going back for repairs.

download CPU-Z as the simplest way to tell
go to the Battery tab and it will tell ya the "Health" of the battery. Mine says "Good"
Another trick is to buy a wireless charger. If this ever happens to me I'm doing that.
This has happened to me months ago and I tried everything. Turned off my phone to charge, tried different cables...nothing worked.
Then I started charging my phone with a blackberry charger and it has been successfully charging my phone ever since. And it charges faster than the original charger. When you plug the charger into the phone, it's very solid, whereas the original charger is somewhat flimsy. Not sure if that may be the case. But that's what I did!
Hope this helped!
Does anybody have any ideas what I can do to resolve my issue:
Most times whilst my phone is on charge it will lose its charge gradually. This is of more annoyance when it's below 15% and the notification pops up every second until I refit the cable again and again.
I know I can turn this notification off but it let's me know if my phone will actually charge once I've fit it right.
I have tried using many different chargers and non have helped, I have also replaced the cable flex as I thought it was an issue with the micro usb port but that hasn't helped either.
My options now are to replace the actual battery or get a new phone. I've had this since day one so I'm hoping a switch if the battery would help just wanted your ideas...
Thanks!

bro if your battery icon is showing that it is charging and and yet it discharges then a reboot should fix the issue when it happens. if your phone is easily disconnected from the cable then the microusb on your phone seems to have loosened. if you have warranty get it fixed.
You have a qi charger?, if factory reset won't work then it must be your USB slot or battery, if it doesn't drain that fast disconnected then its your USB plug
Install betterbatterystats and see if you get anything related to otg or slimport wakelocks,
I had this problem on my first Nexus 5, no matter what cable/charger i use, it used to discharge whilst charging and also used to disconnect/reconnect from usb even if slightly touched. Solution was to RMA the device and the replaced device didn't had that problem, i think problem lies with the micro usb jack on the phone. If it's software issue for you, you can try rebooting in safe mode to see if some app is causing this or factory reset.

Thanks for the response guys, I've replaced the USB port already and that hasn't fixed it. I'll try installing BBS and see if I find those wakelocks but I doubt that's the cause....
Does this sound like a fault in the battery? I'll give safe mode a shot, good idea!
I would RMA it but I bought it from Google day one and I think they only offered a years warranty

Have you checked what kind of power is being drawn while charging? With trying different cables and charger?
To see if its just not getting the current. It's likely not, but good to check.
If the USB port was replaced, I'd guess something wasn't done right, or something else was damaged...

Your port may be flaky it sure could be.
There's apps to check current, but Gsam will do it to. You can hit refresh in gsam a few times to see it fluctuate.
There's likely more sophisticated apps, but I haven't used any.

Holy moly you have a fast discharge rate if that is accurate. 2 amps?! Try charging from safe mode (hold power button, instead of tapping the power off option hold it down and it will give the option for safe mode). See if that helps.
