something i interfering with my screen when i use my cell during charging!
i mean if i hit the "A" button on the keyboard, some other keys also get pressed, this happens only during charging... if m trying to zoom, d pic changes or option popup comes out!
EVERYTHING IS MESSED UP!
Had to disconnect my charger when writting this !!!
ANYBODY HAVE AN IDEA WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING TO MY SCREEN?!!?

Capacitative touch screens work by transferring a small amount of charge to the users fingers...
So maybe while charging, there are some dust particles which take up some charge, hence fooling your phone to believe that it was your finger...
Wipe your screen with a damp (NOT wet) cloth...and then again try...

lol NO, that is lame! touchscreen manufactures are smart enough to eradicate such possibilties.. if you are right then why does this happen only during charging? charged particles are evrywhere in atmosphere!

I suggested that as sometimes it does happen with me...
Only during charging, since the voltage is more fluctuating during charging...
Idk maybe I'm wrong, no expert here...

Sante madre de dios!
I have no idea why is it happening during charging only >.<
dumbass samsung closed their service center here -_-

it is happening by the amount of voltage the mobile getting while charging with some specific method
like while charging with my own PC I don't get this problem but when I charge my mobile with my brother's PC I get the touch problem
so change the charger or the PC by which your charging

Yes happened while connected to USB

I don't think so it would be a charger problem if you are using the samsung (genuine) charger. Try charging at some other ports.

PowerQi Wireless Charger Review

Just received my inexpensive amazon wireless charger today (March 8th), shipped on the 27th, so shipping was pretty quick. Cost $29.98 after shipping.
Like the amazon reviews mention, it does beep, but only when the phone is placed on it and not when it is taken off, it also isn't very loud or annoying either.
It looks great and feels solid, it senses the phone right away even with my case, and seems to charge quite quickly.
Overall it seems to be a great alternative to the official orb, especially for Canadians who can't get it yet.
http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00B7TBX36/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
EDIT: Ended up opening it up and disconnecting the speaker, it really wasn't that annoying but I noticed the tone it made was "inconsistent", turns out the ground wire for the speaker was barely hanging on, so i just ripped the speaker off and now it's all good
PROS:
-From about 60% to fully charged took about an hour and 15 min, so it seems to be on par with other wireless chargers (2-3 hrs full charge)
-Doesn't seem to stop charging once it hits 100%, judging by the battery profile it looks like it falls down to 95% then starts charging again over and over
-LED turns red so you know it's done charging
CONS:
-Poor soldering on speaker, but i imagine most people would remove it anyway
-Charging LED is a soft blue kinda like the nexus notification light, but it is somewhat bright at night, but again a modification could fix that too.
Go for it if you don't mind opening it up to fix those 2 issues.

Hm, that's good that the charger senses the phone right away. Keep us updated on how this charger is working out, I'm planning to order one this weekend. Hopefully all is good. I will probably end up opening up the charger and removing/desoldering the speaker.

Did the seller just increase the price due high demand?

His was a Canadian link. *#^$ exchange rates!

No problem, also there's 4 screws to open it under the little foam pad "feet" on the bottom of it.

Weak that there's no Prime option.

Does this continue to work after a few days? I picked the small, flat charger from Fasttech, and it does not work very well. It will charge the phone fine initially, but refuses to charge the next time I place the phone on the charger until I power cycle it. Kind of defeats the purpose of not messing with wires if I have to unplug/plug in the charger every time I want to use it.
The board looks similar on this charger, although it is different enough that I don't think they are using the same components. Just wanted to see if you've had any issues with it.

I just got it yesterday so I guess we'll see, I've set the phone down on it many times since it arrived and haven't had an issue yet.

do NOT buy this piece of crap.
I bought one about 1 month ago, so many things are wrong with it.
for most it stopped working after a week.
the surface isnt completely flat and has a very slight arc to it. so the N4 will easily slide off on its own.
you will have to hit a "sweetspot" for it to sense your phone. it's very frustrating to have to look for it.
Annoying sound and more annoying lights, especially at night. they are INCREDIBLY bright.
do yourself a favor and buy google's original.

I don't know what arc you're talking about, the sides curves down slightly around the perimeter about 1 cm in, but the surface is totally flat. I don't see how it could possibly slide off, unless the surface your's sits on isn't level.
And expecting any inductive charger to work without lining up the coils is kind of unrealistic. You can't just causally throw your phone onto the pad and expect a solid connection, it's physics.
Placing the phone somewhat centered on the pad (as I expect most people would) works out fine.
As for the sound and lights...well I already covered that, its an easy fix.

wtf ,it does NOT work with the TCP gel case on, i had to take it off? anyone get it to work with a backing/case on?
before it works, the nex4 screen has to be ON for it to work right? that kind of sucks, no wonder this thing is cheap! 30+ tx bucks from amazon.ca
another thing is its gotta be put on the pad 'centered' you can't just be off center
giving this a 3/10 , don't recammend it, man the beeps are loud!
holy cow, this thing really HEATS up while charging, doesn't HEAT kill your battery? it was 40c the battery temp, in 2hours my charge only went up 30% from around 40% to 70%, im not using this charger, i think it will kill your battery faster with all that heat

I purchased the same charger, but contrary to your post mine will charge to 100% then the led turns red and won't charge again until picked up and put back on the charger. I'm curious if a different kernel or rom can affect this behavior. I'm on cm10.1 latest nightly. I'm in the process of returning it, but like everything else besides not maintaining a charge.

Im currently using the ringke fusion case which is probably the thickest there is, i've also switched to my mercury TPU case and they both work, I also don't need to have the screen on for it to start charging either, maybe the manufacturer made a revised version or something.

On the idea of a revised version. Here is a picture of my charger including the model number. It is T-100. I'm very curious if your charger has a different model number.

I am also thinking about ordering this as it seems very cheap for the price. My one concern is does it keep the phone topped up you said it does but there seem to be conflicting reports on amazon as well.
Led/speaker are no issue as they can be easily fixed however waking up with less than a full charge would be annoying.

Ya mine is also the same T-100 model

maybe i got a defective one
when the screen is OFF, and you place it on the charger pad, the screen turns on automatically right? is that normal for every android phone?
also the blue led light is very dim, and its 'behind' the white plastic casing inside, i can't hardly see it, its all blurred/low lighting, mine is the same pic as above t-100 model

[Q] [HELP] Scrolling Problem

last night, my phone was overheating. and then i'm trying to cool it down by putting it in front of a fan. when i use my phone, my scrolling is error. it stops when my thumb/fingers is not touching ( do you get it ? :silly: ) . on a normal phone, the screen keeps scrolling even if my finger/thumbs not touching and slow down until stops. but not with my phone. it just stops without slowing down...
can anyone help me ? :fingers-crossed:
sorry for my bad english

Try restarting??
And JB has higher inertia while scrolling. That means if you scroll lightly, it will stop very fast, unlike Gingerbread 2.3.x.
Also, a possible cause might be that you were charging. XL has a slightly aberrant scrolling response while charging, most likely due to the interference caused by the charging battery.

Yes. It worked
Btw, how did you know that xperia L has problem with charging?

Hi!
I noticed this problem with mine too. I was charging my phone and using it on Facebook. Scrolling worked fine but when mi finger was on the screen (just touching the screen, no scrolling), the image went up and down. It looked like the screen didn't know what to do.
But I was not using the charger given in the box, I was using an older one given with my Xperia Mini Pro from 2011.
When I use the charger given in the box, there is no problem.
I've seen this problem on X10 Mini Pro too.

as far as I know, it happens with all chargers. But maybe it just escapes attention sometimes? The charging battery affects the capacitive touchscreen response.

When I saw this "problem" I let the phone charging with my "older" charger. But when it was finished, I tried it with the new one. I went on every application that need to scroll but all was right.
It may be something with electricity quality, like speakers which have interference... (That's just an idea)

yeah. It happens only sometimes. I suspect when the phone draws considerable charge from battery, and the battery from the charger, resulting in higher electromagnetic interference.

A warning to all

So I put my phone on charge last night and woke up to this. Bare in mind I only sleep 4-5 hours a night so it wasn't on charge THAT long. The phone was off when I picked it up and would turn on, a quick flash of the I9505 screen and then straight off again. There was a minimal scorch mark on my brand new sofa, luckily it's a dark color so it's barely visible. I'm very VERY glad my sofa and or house didn't burn down while I was asleep.
It is currently being investigated by my carrier and Samsung. I used the original battery and charger + cable. I hope they will replace it as it is still under warranty and my second fault with this phone. The previous fault was due to the bad batch of batteries, the expanded battery problem which was also potentially dangerous.
As a warning again to all. Don't leave your phone on charge and out of sight for long periods of time. I was lucky, maybe someone elses sofa and house could have caught fire.
Stay safe

The same happened to me after 8 months with original charger and battery but my warranty was already lost because i've changed the glass of the display. First the battery got a bump after 6 months of use, changed with original one and then this. Suck a bad hardware.My luck was that the charging module and the antena were not so expensive and easy to change by myself.

Well that's a scary picture.Especially since it's a Samsung charger and cable. I assumed it was a random charger.

Try reporting the problem to HTC:
HTC gives away the One M8 for free to the owner of a burnt Galaxy S4

That possibility is always there, but if it were a real problem with that, sure we all should know of it.
How many SGS4 are been charged during every night across the world?
Your battery was faulty, that's all.

May I just ask:
Were you rooted? Any mods?
Did you have a protective cover or case on the phone? What brand was it?
What was the last app you installed?

Oh no, it's with Samsung already, yeah? You better hope they don't find out that it is Rooted, they will milk that part as they will say it was running unofficial software. With Root access they could mention the fact that you have control of the hardware and may have tampered with something in the SW that controls e.g. power management.
Keep us posted on what happens.

Under the pillow, during charge???!!!
Leave a phone under the pillow is not recommendable at all, but do it while charging is the perfect recipe for disaster!
Heat generated by the charging process
+ Heat an warm of human body
+ Non-ventilation due to the pillow

This.
Even though it's a small risk to start a fire, it's a big risk that the device will overheat and fry itself internally. Not with flames and sparks, but just with general expansion due to heat that exceed the physical limits of the tiny delicate components. It just takes one solder joint to work loose or one little capacitor to defect and the whole thing stops working.
I learned this lesson in 1997 when I put my PlayStation on the carpet. Burned it out because it couldn't ventilate properly.

My i9505 also has started to heat up very much when charging.
Before it was not even warm when charging and not in use. Now it is quite hot durning charge and really hot when in use when charger is connected. Before... um.. nothing. It just started without a reason.
Using stock battery, cable, charger and custom rooted ROM. But it started to heat even when it was not rooted or flashed.
Also PLEASE DO NOT TRY CODE *#0228# BECAUSE IT MESSED UP MY BATTERY AND NOW I AM GETTING RANDOM REBOOTS EVEN ON STOCK!

Check serial number on battery. If it starts with BD there is a good chance you have a faulty battery like I did. Had random restarts, battery % changing etc and the battery ended up swelling up. Quite dangerous and very important that you stop using it.

The battery is not swelled. I think that code really messes things up.

You're both lucky and unlucky with this one! Lucky because your house didn't burn down unlucky because I leave my phone plugged in over night all the time! I hope your phone gets fixed soon!

Do you have a case on the device? Reason I say is that I am waiting for my case to arrive and I notice that the screen sometimes does not respond. When my wife complained about it also I noticed when watching her use the device her thumb on the hand that was holding the device was touching the edge of the front glass. She moved her thumb and responsiveness came back. This phone is super thin compared to my previous phone. Just an idea.

I notice that too and in my old phone as well. But only if I use a different charger with stronger power output. It won't respond to touch at some points.

I only had that problem with my legacy devices...lol. Sometimes a simple reboot while plugged in helps.

It happens on my old device too. This is caused by using third party charger. If u do so, please do not.
So far using honor 8 while charging using original charger is just fine. I even game on it sometimes. No touch screen issue.

For Kirin SOC it's proprietary chargers but for Qualcomm any QC certified will do.
You have to use either H8 or M8 original fast chargers.

I'm using the original charger, but I have this problem only at certain moments in the day.Must be that honor 8, or the charger is sensitive to EM perturbations.

Have you tried to plugged in a protected against discharges socket? One of those fancy surge protected and stuff...

Do you have a case on the device? I had a similar issue while holding the device and accidentally touching the edge of the front glass with my holding hand and trying to tap. The screen will be unresponsive. A good rubber case fixed it for me. Just an idea.

It could be the case, but I'd definitely see does it work on a surge protected socket, ensuring the supply is constant.

I apologize in advance for necroing this thread.
I have an L04 honor 8 and i've just OTA updated to B360, everything working fine but i have this very problem. When charging the phone (genuine huawei fast charger) touchscreen doesn't respond as it should and scrolling is awful. As soon as I unplug the phone it gets back to normal.
Any ideas? It didn't have this beahaviour before upgrading.

Tale case off, take screen protector off, clean screen, try another power outlet, try hard reboot(hold power button until reboot).
