Touch screen glitches when phone is charging

totaljayman

Whenever phone is charging the touch screen is very glitchy and impossible to type on the touch screen (virtual) keyboard. Thankfully, there is a physical keyboard but still the screen navigation is hindered by this effect

Are you using the charger that came with it or another one?

I've read that using chargers that were meant for other devices can cause issues like you are describing.

totaljayman

Yes I am using the stock charger cable it came with (everything is stock). It seems to do the same when plugged into the wall or a PC as long as its charging. It charges fine but its just that the touch screen freaks out when I touch it. I notice it more since I use the swype to type my messages.

Try a battery pull.

If that doesn't work, I hate to suggest it but try a factory reset.

If that doesn't work, return it for a new one.

Yeah I'll see what I can do. Seems like there could be a loose ground somewhere inside the phone charging area. I was just concerned if this is an isolated problem or if anyone else had noticed it on theirs.

Like I said before however, I only noticed it when swiping, not tapping things- to inlude scrolling

I just tested as well with no issues.. ps @poolshark not a new one, a certified like new

Mine does the same thing and its brand new too. It drives me crazy. I just make sure it's fully charged. The car charger seems to do it more then the wall charger.

What is swype? I am new to all of this cell phone guerue. Its great for school though.

Swype is a typing app that comes installed on the Droid 2 and other phones.

It is a keyboard software that makes it incredibly fast to type (world record).

It works by placing the finget on the screen at the first letter of the word you want to type, then you move (without lifting finger) to the next letters of the word.

It takes some getting used to, but it is now the only way I respond to text messages.

When your on screen keyboard pops up click the bottom left botton for a little more information.

I have a new phone (1 day old) and same issue - when I initially plug in the charger, swype stops working. This isn't a problem when the phone is fully charged. Good to know that the solution is to simply unplug.

Swype is a great tool. Happy to have it!

Maybe it is your charger...
Ihave tried to replicate with no avail.

This also happens with my brand-new Droid 2. I am using the charger it came with.

Also, which is really annoying, I left it on last night while it was charging and it made 12 phone calls between 5am and 7:30am, all on its own! Has anyone else had this problem? I had a Droid Devour (btw, worst phone ever), and it did that one night also, plus sent texts and emails.

Does anyone else have the problem where the phone makes calls overnight?

I have the same exact problem if I use my old LG cord from my Env2. As long as I'm using the stock cable I have no issues.

Try doing a soft reset on the phone by powering the device off, then back on.

Then dial *228 send and option 1 on the device.

Make sure when charging the device, that the phone is face up on a level surface and nothing is on the screen of the phone.

Try closing unused applications that are running in the back ground before charging.

From the home screen, touch the applications tab (located at the bottom of the display).

Touch Settings.

Touch Applications.

Touch Running services.

Touch a service.

Touch Stop.
