Haven't checked thoroughly in SGS2 but while charging, I have hard time swyping text. Can't find much difference while interacting with regular apps.

Nope. Stock samsung charger and stock samsung cable. I'm. Glad I charge it at night. If I had to use it while charging, I'd blow my temper very quickly. It's exasperating, the touch.
This happens to me too and I've seen other reports for it.
I'm pretty sure this has to do with the charger. Doesn't matter if it's original Samsung or not - some chargers just cause this. It happens with my stock charger - when charging from it, often the screen doesn't react at all to touch, and when it does, it's quite poor - when dragging something on the screen, the phone would think I am pressing/releasing the finger all the time. Sometimes the accuracy is way off - for example, I want to press "L" on the (QWERTY) keyboard, and will get "X" or "R" instead (letters which are nowhere near it). When I use my girlfriends LG charger, everything works almost perfect (there are still some problems but those are barely noticable). When charging via USB, this doesn't seem to happen.
So, unless you're willing to take the charger to warranty (where they might demand your phone aswell), I've found the following solutions workarounds:
1. Charge using USB. Sure, it takes much longer, but as far as I know, charging a battery slower can only be good for the battery. Won't really do if you want to game while charging, since many games will draw more power than you will get from USB.
2. Use the S-Pen. This is what I do when I need to use my phone while charging. The S-Pen doesn't ever seem to be affected by this.
3. Buy a new charger - unless you're worried it might cause your battery to explode or something, you can buy a cheap no-name charger, since even the Samsung official ones don't seem to be immune to this problem. Just make sure you are able to test it before buying, since it is a hit-or-miss thing, regardless of the brand.
I don't think it's exactly due to the charger per se, but the amount of voltage coming through it.
I used to live in an area with really bad, unstable power that had less than the standard 220V coming out of the outlet.
Whilst charging my Galaxy S the screen was incredibly unresponsive when on the charger (even if it was at 100%). As soon as I removed it from the charger, it was fine.
Using the same charger now I'm closer to town with "normal" stable power, it works fine on the charger.
I had the same problem charging the phone on my old Asus T91 netbook. It didn't put out much power via the USB ports (If I used an external DVD drive I had to use one of those cables that lets you plug into 2 USB ports for the extra power).
But the phone works fine plugged into my full powered laptop.
Maybe try a different outlet and see if that helps.

Used to happen on my evo also. Hasn't happened to me on this phone though

Please post all questions in the Q&A section
Mine reacts the same when charging, even with other chargers with current out of other mains. Feels more like a big latency than less sensivity to me.
USB Charging is best option

Hello!
Well, I guess I'm the new (un)lucky owner of my stepfather's Xperia T since he decided Z3 suits him more (not that we are rich, he's just kinda shoppingholic or smth).
I replaced old HTC Wildfire S with it and I was fkin amazed. There was no root or tweak that could ever make that little HTC (who has supported me over the years even after falling in water and all other ****) be even a close match to my shiny new-old XPeria.
However, the phone keeps irritating me with it's charging problems.
I'm an electric engineering student and this crap sounds like connection problem (but I don't wanna admit it to myself), but I still hold your opinions to be very important since well....you guys know this phone through it's soul.
Here is the weird thing...
I got it with it's original charger while I still had a charger I used to charge my HTC. It was some old nokia cable and was charging HTC perfectly, always without a problem, but Xperia always seemed to have a bad connection with it. I tried it's original charger and almost the same. That was bearable until last few days, connection was starting to grow so weak, it took me like half an hour to make the damn phone charge. Worst thing, battery run dry, so can you imagine that feeling when you have to wait 5 seconds before the battery logo does it's animation before you can actually realize if your phone is charging or just "ate a spark".
I've searched on google and many people seem to be having similar, even though much worse problems (phone does not react to the charger at all) and I'm actually afraid that's where my dear Xperia is going.
Weird thing is when I visited my parents last week, I tried plugging it into my mother's charger (S4 charger) the phone started charging immediately, I tried rocking the charger a little left and right, and it didn't seem to distract it.
Tried friend's charger, same problems again!
Can't figure out what the problem might be...I thought it was the cable, then the port, now I don't know what to think of anymore.
Help please!
Thanks guys!
UPDATE:
OK, while I was writing the post and doing other stuff, the phone was charging, I disconnected it now to check for battery level, I succesfully turned it on (no more double red blinking) but the phone just showed PIN screen and Turning off.. note appeared. Which means after half an hour of charging, the battery is at the same level....?
Should I let it charge overnight?
I mean I don't feel comfortable doing it since I can't see the battery and my landlord has no tools in the whole apartment...Maybe the battery might be damaged...
Try your mother's USB cable with your recharger.
I guess it's your USB port that is dying.. .
PS now I know what's a stepfather.. LOL.. Thank you XDA (and thank you Google Translator)

Yeah, I was thinking of doing that, but it's going to be a problem talking her into it
Well, I'm glad you learnt it haha
Wohoo!
Successfully turned it on, after 20minutes of charging it's at 1% and hopefully it's gonna go up!
Oh! In the meantime the phone just turned off again showing empty battery while it was still charging! O.O
FU Sony. Telling my shoppingholic stepdad not to waste money on Z3. -.-
Try to clean the USB port with cotton and alcohol. Maybe it's only some dirt over the metallic contacts.

I'll try it, but still doesn't explain why the battery is still at minimum charge.
I left it to charge overnight, I'll tell you guys if things got better in the morning.
Good night and thanks for help!
Well, couldn't wait. Turned it on again. 32% as we speak.
Let's se what you've got for me this time Xperia...
By the way, I know the battery is most common problem on this cell, it kept restarting for my stepdad, he got the battery replaced already....
Well, fully charged today....who knows what the problem might have been...

So the battery is okay.
The problem could be: some dirt, a USB metallic pin bent or broken, the USB port entirely broken, or just an UFO that steals your energy only when you connect it to the recharger

Noticed that the phone when powered off takes forever to charge anyone else notice this?

Mine only fast charges when the screen is off OR powered off completely. Both have easy ways of checking whether it's working. The ticker will appear when plugged in when it's on (the one you've seen a million times) but when the phone is powered off under the battery icon is a lightning bolt icon. That only shows up when it is fast charging. Just tried it to confirm. If it's slow then you could try another micro USB cable. Could be worn out or try a different outlet. There are several USB power testers you could try as well. Good luck!

Oh nice I was looking for a way to tell if it was working powered off, when the phone is on it definitely fast charges. But off its like soo slow which seemed odd because I figured it should be faster. Thanks for the reply tho gonna check for the little bolt now

Hey, no problem! I have been ordering a few chargers for my gf to enable fast charging on her lg g4 since the manufacturer didn't ship with one. Only one of my fast chargers worked on hers. Had to test with all the charging apps etc. so I'm up on all the fast charging knowledge lol! Just a FYI, aukey brand chargers seem to work on all various devices with quick charger tech. I got a wall & car charger for 20 bucks via slickdeals in case you need any extras. Amazon with their code. You do have to order them separately to get 10 off though. Well hope it all works out!
Does anyone else have this issue with their note 5 where sometimes it says fast charging and sometimes it's just regular charging?
Not using the OEM charger, are you using a different one?
you have to use the charger designed for the Note 5. The Galaxy S6 wont fast charge my note 5. also you need to have the device (and the wall plug part too if you can) under a fan. It gets hot, and when its hot the charge gets slower

Yes I am using the original charger that came with the phone, the cord and wall.
I know sometimes I'll plug in the OEM charger and it starts just regular charging. If I unplug it and plug right back it starts fast charging. Weird but it happens half the time.

Quick charge 2.0 chargers work too.
I would try using a different cord just to see if it makes a difference. I have seen it talked about before where the issue was a cord, even when they are brand new.
I have seen this same behavior as well so sometimes with my one charger cord combo, it takes a few tries to get fast charging to kick in. With my new charger and cord I haven't noticed it happen yet.
And yes the previous fast chargers all work fine. I haven't even used the charger and cord that came with my Note 5 yet.

Any Fast charging Charger should work, because it is a standard. (Qualcomm's patent: https://www.qualcomm.com/products/features/quick-charge )
I've been using a Chinese but functional Fast charger that was veeeery close to be a original one. In fact, I believe the internals are the same you'll find in the original Samsung charge. It was fine for 11 months until some solder points broke and I was getting regular charger, sometimes fast and sometimes nothing at all.
I thought it was lint or dirt buildup in the cable or the phone itself, so every time I needed fast charge I used to blow on the charger, the cable and the phone; basically giving it the Nintendo NES cartridge treatment! LOL After a while that didn't work and soon enough It stopped working.
I disassembled the charger to check for broken solder joints and yes, the GND joints were broken and also the transformer but I guess that was my fault. Chargers and other gadgets are made not to last. It is called PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE so it was a PITA to disassemble. In the end the white plastic housing was FUBAR, I couldn't get the internals out. (The housing is made from a chewy plastic, It won't break like it was made of bubble gum) So I had to take a pair of pliers and rip the plug connectors. The charger is made to never be taken apart, It is disposable.
After a half hour battle I could resolder everything and I took apart an old DVD player and used its power cord to power the charger. It is nothing more than the PCB and a long power cord but it works again.
So long story short:
-Any good quality fast charger SHOULD work
-Any good quality USB cable should work
-Murphy's Law: If you need to charge your phone because it only has 5% battery, the charger will fail
-Some gadgets are not meant to be repaired, they are disposable
On the attached photos, the one with red arrows is where I had to resolder.
I had that problem too, is the cable, mine took 1 year to broke and i bought some news cables and they always work with fast charging
hi guys, my problem is when i charge my phone on fast charging using original charging adapter it shows (fast charging for only 10-15m) after that it turns to cable charging and I'm still on Oreo no root, is that a hardware issue?
tried:
- cleaning the charging port
- factory reset
- flashing a new firmware
- tried another adapter and cable.
any suggestions? thank you
Maybe temps are to hot so it switches down to a less heating method for battery protection ...in the summer the fast recharging often doesn't work because temps are to high. To be sure, you can even try another cable (because adapters give rarely these problems but cables often get broken inside for bending them or the USBs plugs get worn for using it) when having the problem and if the result is the same, the reason is the one I explained. This thing happens even to other models so I don't think there's a software problem (as I know, never happened for this) so wipes are not necessary.

so there is a heating method for battery protection? i didn't know that, well it's too hot this summer in my country and my phone going too hot when I'm charging, i didn't have this problem in the winter time so that's the cause. thank you bro for your help.

More the charge gets fast, more the battery gets hot especially if using the phone for something else while charging. In the summer, when the hoter outside temps gets the battery even more hot then it normally should be , to protect the battery (because it might even explode if to hot) in these cases software slows down charging. This happens for all models and even if it's true that cables often get broken slowing down chargings, a lot of people change unnecessarily there cables in these periods because don't know about the temp protection...
This is not a rule for the summer, but for everytime the battery gets hoter then an established temp so, it might happen even in winter if necessary .

i will turn fast charging off at this time for safety, even there is no much difference in charging time, anyway the note 9 fast charging is no good at all.. thank you for you advise bro.

Good thing doing this even for another reason : since having my phone, I used fast charge only a couple of times because I needed the extra speed for not having anough time to do the normal one. This because fast charge stresses the battery a lot so it's durability drammactly goes down if using it for every day charging and you will replace it sooner compared to using it after using only the normal charging for everyday usage . Sorry, but I don't agree... Don't think it's not good or worst than others because note 9's fast charge is coming out from the other previous models (S9, S8 ecc) and like for them, used when necessary is the best thing to do for having a long life battery and I'm also convinced that it's meant to be used when necessary.
If this problem occurred after update?
