the touch interface goes haywire when i'm using my bionic while it's charging. the home button opens the video camera, texting produces letters i never touched, touching the apps drawer gets the home screens flipping, etc.
i'm using the wall plug AND cord that it came with it from the corporate verizon store. i've hard reset, and pulled the battery. what's the deal??
(this is in addition to about a million other bugs this phone has)
I've experienced this, too, and there's been a discussion of it on the Motorola Bionic Forum -- check it out for ideas:
Touch Screen acts erratically when phone is charging
The explanation that makes most sense is some kind of grounding issue...though having that explanation doesn't fix it, of course. Try a different cable, if you have one or can get one.
appreciate the input, but i've read that thread. no one came up with a solid reason. everyone's just guessing.
i want verizon to send me a new charger. tired of dealing with this phone....

It may not be as simple as that...but maybe if you took it (phone + charger + cable) to the store and demonstrated the issue they might replace the charger.
If you haven't read the thread I linked to you might do so; "grounding issue" is just my summary...it may not cover all situations and it may not even be correct.
