Touch Screen is Inop when charging with A/C

[KCHruby]

Hello Ladies and Gentlemen,

I've been a loyal Android user for just over a week now and I must admit--I'm impressed. Like so many others, I'm a recent convert from Windows Mobile.

One question regarding my new phone though.

I've noticed that whenever the phone is charging in the house--plugged into the wall--the touch screen stops responding. I have to unplug the phone to get it to do anything; however, when it's charging in my car--using the cigarette lighter--the touch screen response like I'd expect.

Anybody else noticed this? Anybody have any suggestions?

Thanks,

KCHruby

Although I haven't been experiencing this issue, its probably related to the grounding. This has been effecting many Evos and Incredibles.

And your using the supplied charger? I've noticed it can get wierd when using 3rd party/aftermarket...

[NuLLKiLL]

I never ever had the grounding issue when the phone is plugged in as it is 100% grounded then

[KCHruby]

Stealth86, you're very wise.

I had not been using the stock cord because that one's been connected to my computer. I've been using cords that I purchsed seperately.

I just ran a little test and you're right--with the stock A/C adapter and cord, the problem goes away.

Bought a charger of ebay and had this problem. Threw it away and no more problems. Stock charger is the best.

It's kind of a lose-lose situation. The only charger/cord that works is the stock charger but yet the battery life is noticeably short.

Is it just a coincidence or their way of making you buy accessories from them as opposed to just purchasing third party cords? LOL

Thanks to all who have helped. At least now I know the cause.

i use a 10 ft usb cord from sony which came free with my hdmi wire for my tv, it works great. and a i use a usb charger from one of my cameras.

I found it's the cable that's the culprit, I think. Some people reported the HTC "brick" chargers weren't working, but I bought some thick high quality micro USB cables and they work with all my USB brick chargers.
