Please tell me someone else has experienced this.
When using and charging at the same time under Windows 8.1, the touchscreen goes crazy where one touch results in about 5 random touches all over the screen. Only way to stop it is to unplug the charger.
It seems to be something to do with the charging port, if the cable is putting slight pressure on the port in one direction or the other, then it has that effect on the touch calibration... very odd.

I accidentally dropped my Nexus One when I was taking it out of my pocket.
Now, the touch screen or the charging port does not work
The screen turns on fine, and the trackball and power button work fine, but the screen isn't responsive at all.
In addition, the screen says that I have 0% battery left, even though I know I have well over 80% left.
I've tried to plug in a USB charger and it wouldn't recognize it at all. When I put it on the dock, however, it recognizes it, but still, there is no charging indicator.
Is the phone done for?
Thanks
With all those faults, maybe, but there might be hope. The digitizer connection and charging port internals are all based at the bottom of your phone and seeing that the power button still works then the bottom board is probably damaged. Try eBay for the parts. However if something has been physically damaged on the charging port then you'll have to make sure to change it too.
Update:
Phone is back to working state after numerous reboots and battery pulls.
Can anyone tell me why it was behaving this way?
Hi,
I have this strange problem happening since yesterday on my brand new Salsa. When I put it on charging and leave it on a wooden table, the touch screen responds weird to my touch. The ring lock will not open all the way or shortcuts will work weird. The soft keys at the bottom too go absurd not responding or giving different options.
If I pick the handset (probably providing grounding), everything works normal thereafter. I'm using only the original charger provided with handset.
Additionally even the sound into my car's auxillary port is behaving as weird filtering or dimming the vocal frequencies but allowing the music to get through.
Does anyone know why this is happening?
Only incident to have caused this I guess is when the sales guy I went to plugged the phone onto a blackberry charger yesterday for a few seconds.
Could it have caused some damage to some internal part - diode or something that is leaking AC voltage onto the capacitive screen ? Can I have it repaired at HTC ?
Since it's not even a week old, I'm too distressed about the weirdness. PLEASE HELP!
does seem like it could of done some damage as blackberry's do take a lot more juice than the salsa, personally i would take it back and tell them about the problems you have had only since the dude abused the phone lol
I will surely be taking it back but want to confirm if its the problem with the phone or charger, because I do not see this problem when I charge from my laptops USB.
And I want to know what it is before I take it to them. Its much safer to find the problem and tell them rather than allowing them to figure it out themselves and in turn damage something else.
Thanks
your laptop will deal 5v 1a max before the computer will cut off the usb supply due to risk of overload, new blackberry chargers deal a lot more than that due to the juice the device needs to charge, almost like different laptop chargers the difference in the supply would kill your laptop, i don't have any problems with my device regardless of surface it is resting on.
I have the same problem
I have the same problem, but it was observed from the time of purchase. So do not worry and take the phone in hand))
Resolved
With some searching I resolved this problem or I can say I at least know why this is happening.
It is the charger that is faulty and not the handset. I changed it with another HTC charger I had and the problem disappeared. I figured the most logical explanation is what I read in one of the post elsewhere in this forum.
The charger could be faulty to be leaking some AC voltage along with the charging DC juice. This leaked voltage interferes with the sensitive capacitive touch screen. If we hold the handset in hand, we are providing a natural grounding and hence the problem disappears.
I personally would not like this to continue and so I'm going to take it back to my vendor for replacing the charger or if the need be, buy a new one.

Try using another charger and see the difference. Hope you can get your charger repaired or replaced!
Take care.
this is due to a grounding problem or/and leaked ac current....
This problem occurs when your charger supplies more power than required by the phone to charge.The only solution for your prolem is changing your charger.

I had once another problem, that my Salsa overheated (red-green blinking) when I charged it and my Wifi was on. Maybe a background-process could be responsible.
I just want to ask has anyone noticed that sometime while using the ®S-pen on note the screen responds even before the pen touches the screen!!! well it doesn't happens everyone but once in a while particularly when using note while charging, the other thing is the screen does brightens up if u bring the s-pen near the screen before it goes to sleep mode. Is this normal?
One thing more while charging the screen becomes Less responsive, I mean it need a b it hard press for thekeys to response on the screen
are you using it while charing using a computer's usb port? some computers aren't well grounded/earthed - eventually that'll mess up your touchscreen. you should use the official charger or a voltage control usb cable.
thanks for the reply
well i use the wall charger to charge my note.....and even after recently updating tbe firmware. ...the problem still persist.....what i have noted is the hard press problem occurs when 80% of mobile gets charged. The s- pen response is the same even after updating.
I've been experiencing ghost touches on the bottom of the screen.
The issue disappears as soon as you connect it to any power supply.
Sometimes the screen flickers and the battery discharges while connected.
I'm trying to identify the source of the fault, but found nothing so far...
Does anyone knows about this kind of issue?
Is there any component that usually breaks?
Battery may cause flickering and discharging... but what kinda touches are you referring to?

Does it flicker as in between Sleep and wake mode (Phone goes into sleep and back to the lockscreen).
Try a different charger/usb cable.
Ghost touches?
When I go to charge my phone, (just started doing this) it completely spazzes out. It wakes up and starts opening random apps, especially Google apps. Then it just sits on a screen awake and does not fall asleep. If I put it to sleep, on the 3rd time, it'll stop charging. What's happening?? Any help? Thanks
Perhaps there is some kind of short between charging circuit and the digitiser power supply. Warranty time.
I had something like this on my S2, so i had to clean that micro-usb port, and it was pretty simple...just had to blow to it. Since that all those things stoped.
tried it
I tried to blow air into the charging port, it didn't work unfortunately. And also when it's plugged in, the screen stays sideways
