Thunderbolt Text Lag While charging? and opening different messages?

[TeckSupport05]

I'm loving my TB, no doubt about it. So far for me, AMAZING Battery life (in 3G zone) but I have noticed a few things. One for me, When its charging, and I text someone, it does lag up to the point where it doesnt recognize me pressing a few letters. Sometimes it also freezes up with downloads.

Other than that, what I've also noticed (even with my dINC) sometimes, when I click on a message thread in my texts, it opens someone elses completely. Anyone else having some issues similar?

I can't do a warranty swap, since I do not have a warranty on the phone.
Thanks!

Dont do a warranty swap when its a software issue. The "lag" is because of sense. I use a different keyboard and I have the same issue. The "texting the wrong person" is an Android issue. When gingerbread comes out it will be fixed.

I know the issue you're referring to. I think it has something to do with no grounding properly because it happens on the evo also.

what do you mean no grounding properly? I'm using a blackberry charger (longer wire) could that be the reason?

That could be a cause, but from my understanding it happens with the regular chargers as well. It's a known HTC flaw.

I only get this when I have mine plugged into my laptop, I cant reproduce it any other time. My work computer doesnt have this effect nor do any of my other chargers including one from an old BB storm. The good news for me is that my laptop had the same effect on my Incredible, so to me it was normal.

Had same issue with stock charger. Got Verizon to replace and all is well. Seems charger was bad. But also power outlet I was using wasn't putting out right amount for phone. If only happens when charging from CPU try same charger to the wall and see if it still does it. If fixed to the wall then CPU is not giving right power to the phone causing the issue. Imo

Hi Justin I had also made a thread about lagging while on the charger, I could barely go from one home screen to the next but noticed as soon as I took it off the charger things were back to normal, and btw I am using the charger that came with the phone, I just considered it an HTC flaw. Other than that also loving the phone. TB FTW!

Same here. Serious lagging while charging. Using the original HTC charger. I doubt that the charger is bad. As soon as I remove the charger, works fine. Odd though.

I get lagging if it's charging too... I notice it only happens if it's not connected properly and keeps slipping into and out of the charge. That or if it's not plugged in well in the wall.

Try unplugging it and plugging it back in. seems to work for awhile lol. also i think the new RUU might fix this issue

 

[saraheba]

IME, just because the charger fits doesn't mean it works properly. I had major issues with my continuum anytime it was on charge, but definitely worse when using a non samsung brand. With the TB, I've encountered slight issues with non HTC branded chargers. Very few problems with OEM charger.

 

[psycho_maniac]

So you guys are saying its the charger? My charger is connected to 2 usb extenders lol

 

[psycho_maniac]

It might be. i am connected via computer now charging and i dont really get any lag. can anybody else try this theory out?

 

[roxy surf]

This happens to me when I use my blackberry charger that I keep in work as a spare..

I have a Verizon Micro USB charger that lags my TB when I plug it in. The OEM one works fine.

This charger is OEM Moto, and costs less than $4, and works fine with my TB.

Also there is a charger at the bottom of the page that is great in the car, and is a 1 Amp charger too.
