It seems House of the Dead: Overkill and Shadow Guardian HD, and probably others, crash when the phone is charging, but play totally fine when not on the charger. Why would this be?

change the usb cable and see if that soleves the problem
Well, I was using the one supplied with the phone, but next time I am around the radio I'll try the one I have from my 3VO.

After seeing how slow the One charges in Anandtech's review especially because fast charge is disabled, I have to ask this question, does it charge (AC not USB) if you are for example, browsing the web on​ it?
Definitely yes. I've only found one moment where it's discharged while charging.
That was when I was playing music as well as playing Shadowgun Deadzone at the same time. It was still charging more though because when the game was at a menu (i.e. not as much game activity) it would charge as normal.

Well that's great news as web browsing is as heavy as I ever go on my device, never play games.
I've noticed that while charging in the car and using GPS it discharges slightly faster than it charges so possibly on a very long trip you may eventually run out of power especially if you don't start off with a full battery.
With my iPhone 5 the phone would always charge when using it as a GPS and would get to 100% very quickly.

The battery on mine does seem to go down pretty quickly, if you game youre looking at a few charges a day. At least that's how it's been for me.
Maybe my units a bit dodgy
Strange, on my evo shift (old phone if you've never heard of it), the battery will continue to charge even when running intensive activities such as playing 3D games and such
It also depends on the adapter...Battery Monitor Widget by 3c lets you see the input mAh

Hi tdingene, just a quick question: do you have any ideia of how long that "very long trip" would be?
Thanks!

That's really bad. I haven't had that for years (since my HD2). In the car try a 2amp car charger. May solve that.

Are you using a 2amp or 1amp charger?
So am rocking my One and really enjoying everybit of it. I got my official car dock and set it up, but 20 mins into connecting my One, it becomes really hot am scared it will explode. I even repositioned the dock inline with my airconditioner vent but it still heats, when I use the device without the dock all is well with my BT hands-free. Has anyone experience this or is it just my device?

probably the car charger outputs more power than what is needed causing overheating i would try with another car to see if that happens again
Didn't think of that, will try it out.

I just got my HTC D160 Car Dock yesterday and a similar issue. First off, I was running ARHD 7.3 and Bulletproof 1.7 kernel at the time. I drive a Ford Fusion and am plugging into the same AC port that I used with my HOX. I just wanted to set the stage. Anyway while having the phone docked in car mode I was running TomTom. From time to time I was switching over to a messaging program to send a few messages. After about a half hour I noticed my LED light was flashing red. I continued using my GPS app but stopped messaging. Soon the light went back to a solid charging red light. When I removed my phone it wasn't hot to the touch but I'll keep an eye on it though. At this point I'm not really worried plus I shouldn't be messaging while sitting at a light with my phone in dock anyway :silly:
One day I was away from home and my battery was low. So I had to use a Sony Xperia charger. But now my phone has problems charge.
problems such as:
-it won't charge
-it only charges to 50%
-the charge cuts in and out
-I have to leave it still or it won't charge.
Has anyone had these problems occur. This is really annoying and I would like to find a solution ASAP
*and the only charger that doesn't cause this problem is ny nexus 7 charger. But I don't want to use it. Because when I tried it, it said it's not compatible and will damage my device.

Unfortunately it sounds like the micro USB connector port may be partially broken. Did you try a different USB cable with the stock charger?

If your phone is charging half way through then It should not be the connector. Try charging through the use if laptop. Try clearing the battery stats if rooted else back up your phone and try restoring it to factory settings.

HI
greetings,
I think its a hardware problem
might be the micro usb port of the cable has to do something
try any of your friends htc cable and plug and see if the problem exist then its not the cable but the phone ....
best way is to take your phone to htc service centre
Anyone having lag issue playing with real racing 3 while charging? Btw the phone is quite hot too.
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
That is exactly your problem... You should NEVER play intensive games when it's charging.. You're just doing harm to the battery and increasing temps thus more frequent throttling.

throttling, when the device heats up it will throttle, never game on the charger is a smartphone and not Sega Game Gear :laugh:
also custom kernels like ElementalX deals much better with throttling
Ok noted
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
I'm still trying to figure out what is the reason behind not gaming while charging.
Temperature isn't a concern since this phone will throttle at the same temperature, regardless of charging or not. In one game, the phone will play to 42 degrees and keep it from going over. The phone reaches this temperature both plugged and unplugged. I do notice that the phone throttles more when plugged, but it successfully keeps the phone from getting any hotter than normal gaming temps.
So what is the reason not to game when plugged?

The battery heats up fast even when not plugged in. Try it yourself.
Does anyone know, definitively, given what I wrote above, why we should not be gaming while plugged?

Rapid charge and discharge while gaming is probably the biggest reason. Really burns through the miles on the battery.

But on the charger you wouldn't be discharging, just a slower charge. With Dungeon Hunter 4, the phone will burn through the battery when unplugged, but it doesn't tax the system enough to discharge when plugged in.
I know previously, with my One X, super heavy games would cause it to slowly use up battery when plugged in. So I'm surprised I haven't seen that with the One. Maybe DH4 isn't as heavy as RR3.
But I'm starting to wonder if playing while plugged in is bad at all... consider laptops: If I wanted to play a game on my laptop, I would definitely have it plugged in. I don't think I've ever questioned whether that was bad or not. True, laptops have fans to keep it cool, but we already know the One will keep the battery below 43 degrees (at least for mine).

Laptops are made to withstand heat, and the way laptops stay on when on the charger is different. Most laptops use half battery and half charger power. When it's plugged in, you can yank the battery out and the laptop will stay on while phones run primarily on battery regardless if it's plugged in or not (THIS IS BASED SOLELY FROM MY OWN EXPERIENCE SO WILL PROBABLY BE HIGHLY INACCURATE)

That's how it will be, and it kinda proves my theory too. Phones run on battery even when they are plugged in, and charging it while it's also rapidly discharging leads to a very hot and very slow charge.

NEVER do a heavy task while you're charging your phone bro. Believe me, your phone "will not be happy".

Also, I imagine laptops would be different as their power draw is so much greater than a phone. A laptop charger provides much more than ours, even tablets are this way. So then the question also extends to tablets: are you not supposed to game while plugged in on a tablet?
It would be nice if we had a technical answer to this from HTC or someone in the field. I hate having to constantly recharge my phone because I played a game on it for an hour... Especially this phone, it takes so damn long to charge!

Sometimes chargers have too high or too low current? Try a multitude of chargers, look for 1amp. I've had high current chargers heat my phone up and freeze the os and low-current chargers make my screen flicker and not turn on. Sounds like to me you have a low-amp charger issue, but who knows.
Give it a try, hopefully it helps.
