Wacky keyboard while charging

I know some other people have reported this with their NC, but I can't seem to find the threads. I was trying to use mine the other day while it was charging and the on-screen keyboard was putting duplicate and incorrect characters on the screen. Just wondering what solutions people have found for this problem ?

Tried them all, none of them worked for me

same problem here. it used to happen with my Evo when i first got it. hopefully it will be fixed in upcoming patches.

Try a different power block, the one that came with my wife's nook gets really hot and makes the screen freak out, but her palm pre power block works perfectly.

It's somewhat of a known issue

i think i'm going to try to get my charger replaced and see if that address the issue

I experienced the same problem yesterday.
But I was charging it next to my MacBook Pro. When I increased the distance between the MBP and the Nook everything worked find again.
Maybe it has something to do with magnetc/electirc fields?!
Don't know.

try another charger- with suggestion
Try another usb charger, this helped me resolve the issue.
I got a Scosche Dual Usb charger (with ipad support) from staples (US based office supply store for $25.
It has a 2.1A usb port and a 1.0A usb port, so it is more than enough current to charge as fast as the original and the keyboard issue is resolved. I typed a paragraph or two and didnt have 1 repeat or stutter. THe BN charger must not be sufficiently filtered and the NC susceptible to the noise. Thats just a jut reaction but the charger resolved the issue for me.

Screen issues when connecting USB/Headphone/HDMI?

Has anyone noticed an issue when connecting a USB, Headphone or HDMI cable to the D3, where the touch screen doesn't respond properly?
I had the same issue with the DX when I upgraded it to Gingerbread and the DX2. When plugging in a cable (even brand new cables), the touch screen doesnt want to respond. To use the touch screen, I have to unplug it first.
Since this is the 4th phone I have had this issue and it "seems" to have started with my DX when upgrading to Gingerbread, I wonder if it is a Gingerbread issue?

So no one else has noticed this issue? It is really irritating. I had the same issue with the DX/DX2 desktop dock. I had the dock replaced with the D3 desktop dock and have the same issue!
As soon as I dock, the screen doesnt want to respond correctly to touch. The car dock seems to work fine though.

I'm having the same problem and it was there pre and post root. When I am in HDMI mode, the screen is very laggy and sometimes completely unresponsive. If I unplug the HDMI the issue immediately resolves.

i've seen this sometimes, thought it might be the angle im holding it when the USB cable is plugged in.
Doesn't always happen tho and the dock works fine for me currently.

I have the issue with every charger except my car chargers... I also notice the problem if I plug into the headphone jack or HDMI port.
With the Droid X and X2, I had a similar issue (3 different phones) but with the Droid 3, I notice that not only does it not want to respond but it responds as if I touched somewhere else... It even responds as if I touched the screen when I am not even near the phone...
I took it in to Verizon and surprising enough, I was told it was normal!!!! Augh...

I do not have this issue. Just tried headphones, wall charger, and USB to my laptop and the screen was just as responsive as when the phone is unplugged. If you can narrow down a pattern I will gladly test more situations.

I noticed this when I was plugged into a brookstone international adapter that has a usb charger. Plugged into an old BB charger or my stock and it worked fine.
Actually I was in a bed and breakfast and my phone started to work on its own. Like it was haunted!!! Really crazy. I was able to repeat it everytime I connected this charger.

Have you tried a different setups then the ones you use? Like at a buddies or neighbor? If the issue following you around it could be a sign. As a former poster said with the charger cables the touchscreen goes crazy. I had a cheap charger that froze/slowed up my screen. I think it may be a grounding/noise issue (from a laymen not an EE).

HDMI
I've had issues with the HDMI cable plugged in. The video doesn't seem to be a problem, but the sound is very choppy on my HDTV. This was the case with both my wife's and my D3. I wonder if it is a setting on the phone or my 42" JVC TV is a POS.

I just had my D3 replaced due to an issue with the GPS. The replacement has the same issue. As soon as I plug it into any charger, the touch screen starts acting flaky.
When I plug it into my desktop dock (with or without power), the screen starts acting as if I had been pressing it and selects random things on the screen.
I have found that if I push a USB plug tight into the charging socket on the phone, the screen works fine.
Is it possible that Android 2.3 uses the extra pins in the USB and HDMI cables? If so, can this be disabled?

Use the cable and charger that came with your phone, if you're still having problems after that then you have an actual problem.

Hi,
I also have this issue sometimes when I charge the phone (original US charger with EU adapter). The screen responds slowly.

[Q]

Hello,
I got an issue, that i can't solve, and i wanted to know if anybody here got it, and in case there's a solution for that.
whenever i plug my LG2X running CM7 RC2 to my car charger, after few minutes the headset icon appears, and the device "thinks" that a headset was connected to it, therefore I can't hear GPS instructions etc'
when using the home charger, there are no problems
I'm running Cyanogen 7.1
Any ideas or solutions?
Thanks
Guy

I would try changing the brand of the charger if it's not an LG and do tests with other's car chargers. I assume it doesn't happens with the regular charger.

Just a thought. I had a Captivate do the same thing, & it turned out to be crud in the cable end. Try compressed air in the cable end & charging port on your phone. If not, ditch the charger/cable before it fries the phone.
Hope it helps!

Thank you both,
I have tried switching charger. That was actually the first thing i did before posting this.
however, it does not help. The problem is general to car charging.
It is not related to my car, as i had the same issue with other cars, and other chargers.
this seems to be a software problem.
Guy

perhaps an app like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dwalkes.android.toggleheadset2 might help?

One thing's for sure; you're getting stray resistance in the charge port. Id still remove battery & find a non-metallic object to "gently" clean the contacts where the charger plugs in.
I accidentally got crud in my cord, but didn't realize it till the phone started going into download mode using this certain one. It was cool till it fried the phone ...

S3 Mini starts playing music automatically when plugged into charger

When I plugged my mini into a spare micro usb charger it started playing music automatically. But it works fine with the charger it came with. Anybody having this issue or is this some feature that can be turned off?

Maybe it thinks its docked
Check

Use only original charger. I have some nonoriginal and non of them work proper. With some even the touchscreen is unresponsive when charging.

It is definitely a bug in the phone. I connected mine with the Samsung provided Galaxy S3 charger and the same result. I even had all the options unchecked in the Settings > Accessories and still to no avail.
Maybe S3 Mini just loves the wall charger it ships with :laugh:

Solution S3mini
The SOLUTION is: Open the micro USB connector of the car charger adapter with a sharp tool like a cutter. Cut one or both legs of the internal 200Kohms resistor, and that's all.
Try to close the rubber enclosure with a kind of loctite instant adhesive.
Kind Regards!

my s3 mini had a similar issue a while back - the phone used to think the headset was plugged in while charging, i just got a tooth pick and cleaned the charger housing carefully, and thankfully it has not done it since.

Screen keeps turning on with magnetic cable

I charge my phone via magnetic cable that attaches to the dock connector so that i dont wear out the seal on the micro usb door etc. But I've noticed that if i turn off the screen it comes back on within 5 minutes while charging. Does anyone know of a setting I can change or is this a bug?

I think you can change it in the Smart Connect app

I noticed something else.
I hooked up a MHL cable (Bought long ago for the HOX), to test some response times etc..
And I could not turn of the screen when it was connected (well it turns off, then immediatly turns on again).
Would be nice to know if anybody knows a way to turn it off to conserve battery.
Also I have never used any wireless methods, and am keen to know if one can stream something with the screen off.
This is however a question for a different thread, sorry OP!
I have not changed anything in smart connect, and my screen lights up when put in the dock (just like the Z did).
When I turn it off, it does stay off though.

Most probably it does not snap in fully. I had the same with my DK30 for the Xperia Z Ultra with one of the 3 DK30 docks. Just wiggle a little bit and then it might work continously.
Generally I fear the copper pins will wear out with the time or get slightly corroded so that there will be no full contact anymore. I had this problem with my LG-Smartwatch 5 years ago after 2 years (YES, they had a smartwatch-phone with sim-card and mSD ! already then ! )

Looks like i had to enable smart connect for the dock connection but change all actions to do nothing.

How you do change actions to do nothing?
I'm currently using my magnetic charger to charge, but slideshow on photo album always starts.
My smart connect has been disabled.
