Does anybody else get super SLOW performance when charging?

Whenver I'm charging via wall charger or USB my captivate is super duper SLOOOWWW. It takes forever to switch screens, the keyboard doesn't function correctly, and my bluetooth won't sync. As soon as I disconnect the charge everything is back to normal.
Any ideas?

No replies? Sooo...Am I the ONLY one?

be patient for answers here
Ive noticed it charges slowly but I have not noticed it being slow while charging.
The theoretical output of the charger is .7 amps, and thats not very much in the smartphone world these days. When I am using it and it is plugged in, it charges roughly a percent every eight minutes. The .7 amps must be just enough to cover the phone being on and in use.
I am currently looking around for chargers in the 1 amp range. My old tilt 2 charger works great for that and i definitely saw a charge time improvement. I would love to have one with a greater than 1amp output but I dont think you can find them anywhere

Are you running SetCPU with set profiles ?
If Yes : that is the problem , adjust profile.
If Not : must be something else, not a common behavior.

I read this on another forum but someone mentioned changing the default usb setting from Kies to something something else may help.

As long as the output is 5 volts, you're o.k.

My captivate runs the same while charging but the actual process of charging the phone takes forever it seems. I've only had it a couple days now and I have to get used to killing some tasks while charging because I actually think the battery life was decreasing as it charged.
Incidentally, the display is the real killer on the battery...most tasks don't really eat as much battery life in comparison.

Recent Nokia chargers will work with a slight mod to the plug where it fits the phone,

After Pimping out my phone it works fine while charging now. Yea screen eats up like 82% of batteries resources...OUCH!

Just search for Motorola P513 on Amazon. Rapid rate car charger! And, belive me, it's perfect fit! Now on sale for $5.85 (was $29.99).

I agree with the device charging slowly (but then again it doesn't help that I'm using it while it charges) but I have not had any performance issues.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S

for those of you who have a old iphone/ipod touch charger block, use that instead.
its rated for 5V/1A output, higher than the 5V/.7A output on the default samsung charging block.
that should charge the phone much faster

I have the same issue with charging, no matter what charger I use (iPhone, Tilt, USB), it's all VERY painfully slow. I've been as high as 1% per 6 minutes (rare - when using Nokia charger (1.2A I believe) to 1% per 13 minutes via USB.
I'm thinking it might be something internal to the actual phone. The iPhone didn't take this long even with USB charging through a computer or LCD monitor. Heck, the iPhone on average was 90 seconds per 1% of battery. I could have a nearly dead phone and be fully charged and ready in less than an hour and a half.
Anyone else think the same?

yea i think it might be something related to the phone indeed. this is, in my opinion, the biggest problem. i'm always on the go and i depend on my phone so much that if it doesn't charge fast enough i'm screwed.
let me make a post in the galaxy s forum and see if there's battery charging problems

Everyone else is charging.

which thread is that? I'm curious to track that one as well. I have gotten 4 other people to purchase the Captivate from the iPhone and we are all on the same boat..even with a 1.2A charger from my N97 (which only lasted 3 weeks with me...but can't wait for the N8), it takes about 4 hours to charge the battery...something's wrong there. It shouldn't take less to drain the battery than to charge it!

[Q] How much time does it take to recharge?!!

Hello everyone. My Tab takes about 8 hours and 20 minutes to recharge itself, is that normal?!!
I have the official cable and a generic 5v-2amp wall charger.
Do I have to get the official wall charger and where can I find it, coz I don't want to spend another $20 while I already have the cable...

8 hours is a really really long time ? ? i think you need to buy a original charger .. where to find : nearest Samsung Service center tho .

Chargers go bad. My stock charger just died when I went to the desert with no chance of getting another charger.

3-4 hours from 10% to full charge on original charger.....However if you have electronics knowledge you can patch your non orig charger so that it will charge your tab faster. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=845844&page=3

So, I guess I'll have to get the original charger. I found a very good deal... I think:

4 hours to full charge from 0 using standard charger.

lol . and how could you charge your tab in the desert though ? plug it into some sans ?

If you go to the desert on foot no way to charge....
But if via off roader/4 wheel drive then via the cigar lighter using the adaptor I linked to earlier

yeah get the original charger, mine takes like 3-4hrs if that...

mine is original samsung, 5v 2amp. Take about 8 hours to fully charge the battery. What about your charger voltage rating?

The generic one is 5v~2Amp. Why are there different reports on that? Is there any setting or may be under-volting settings that we need to enable for this?

Heard that regardless of how charged - power or USB the unit should be turned off. Is this correct?

If it is from less than 20% then it is not true.....and technically not possible for a 4000mAH battery.....

Well, I have a SGT7 Plus (P6200) and I usually charge it at 20% or lower.
It takes about 3-4 hours to full recharge while it's off

you do realised this was a June 2011 thread?

charge up or drain it during 1st use

for those who already had their one, i had a question.
i heard that for the 1st time, we need to charge it for around 8 hours right out from the box.
but i saw some users draining it out of the box then only charge it.
confused here

It should be and there should be no difference. This type of charging scheme only affects older types of battery that stores some memory of the charge. Unlike Li-Ion or Li-Po that doesn't rely on anything and just pushes out everything it has and accepts everything until it's limit.

My One came with about 70-80% battery so i used it for a day and then charged it fully as soon as it went down to about 9-10% Like the above post says, charging it straight out of the box only applies now a days to older phones with older batteries, hope this helped.

How's your battery life?

My battery life is decent, but the charging time is the slowest I've ever seen on any device I've ever owned. I'm not even kidding. Surely it's just a defect on mine right?

Negative. My charge time was ridiculously slow. To the point that while I was charging in my car, if I was doing things along side it, my battery would actually go down. Plugged into wall, it is slow but charges though. Maybe its just US or a small number?

Waiting to get mine still. Did anyone else notice that on Sprint's website it said the One has a 19 hour battery life?

It seemed a little better this afternoon, but I've basically had the device plugged in since this morning(10am)(got it at 55%, and albeit the majority of the time, it was plugged into the vehicle[which hasn't been very good anyways[[my GS3 also loses battery while on charge if doing anything concerning navigation or streaming]]]) and it literally hit 100% about 20 minutes ago. granted I've been using it like a pack mule. and I'm sure you have too.

i heard they packed a li-polymer battery which makes the battery hold its charge longer for the life of the battery when compared to a li-ion battery.. and i dont think htc enabled fast charge like most devices...maybe someone will mod that for us...we need fast charge!!!!!!! still waiting on my ONE

Actually I haven't used it at all. Got it at 2 PM, was at 60%. Dropped my mom off at the airport immediately after, came home and it was 50% at 3:20 PM (which is okay because LTE was on by default and it's super patchy here so I turned it off). Plugged it in and showered, 15 minute shower and I come out and it's 50% still (plugged directly into the wall). Went to work at 5, 55% when I got there. Plugged it in to the computer we have at the front desk and over the course of my 5 hour shift it eventually hit 95% before I had to leave at 10 PM. Un-****ing-acceptable.

yeah, I'd say mine is a little better than that. I left the screen off and didn't use it for like 2 hours and it went from 73% to 91.

I bought a 2.1 amp charger and it hoes from 0 to 100 in 4 hours

I don't have my One yet so I can't confirm this personally, but I've read in a few different places that the charging rate is a little slow compared to other phones. My guess is that HTC is trying to maximize the lifespan of the battery since it's non-removable. Quicker charging would generate more heat and might cause it to wear it out faster.

Yes this is the case. Check anandtechs review.
Brian speculates just as you do that it is for longevity.

So how is the battery life for everyone? Hopefully it's good since it takes time to charge

First day I got 15 hours. That was the usual installing apps and watching YouTube videos and showing my phone off to everyone at work. Will probably be awesome once I don't have such heavy usage.

If I'm not mistaken, the phone has a smart battery or a circuit inside the battery that prevents it from drawing too much current. It is pretty much a standard among smartphones these days. Therefore, even though you use the 2 amp charger, you may not charge faster at all.

My Galaxy S3 definitely charges faster with a 2AMP charger than 500 mA charger.
Do not charge from a computers USB port, they are going to be slow as **** without fast charge.
Just use a 1+ amp charger. Pretty simple people.

Don't put excessive work load on the device while charging in the car either

I've found thats too much for most phones. It all depends on the charger(most car adapters are crappy), I'd assume. I've had the same with Evo, Optimus, GS2, and GS3. If anything is running alongside gps/navi, it destroys the battery

[Q] Which wall charger do i have to buy for htc one?

I bought htc one(sprint) used with out wall charger,
i tried to charge mine with old htc ac adapter, and it charged so slowly,
when i used my htc one while is charging battery level decreased
im not sure which one should i buy from online plz help me to find right one thank you.

It doesn't matter which one that you buy... Sprint added a regulator to the HTC One that limits the amperage to like 600 MA (.6 A) so even if you get a 2A charger, the phone won't charge any faster. There was a thread on this, too late to go find it.
I noticed that I started with a full battery and drove for 8 hours straight that even on a car charger that I was actually using more battery than what the charger was putting out so by the end of the trip was at like 60%. But to be fair, was using GPS with the screen on...
