Does anybody else get super SLOW performance when charging?

[ladiesgod]

Whenver I'm charging via wall charger or USB my captivate is super duper SLOOOWWW. It takes forever to switch screens, the keyboard doesn't function correctly, and my bluetooth won't sync. As soon as I disconnect the charge everything is back to normal.

Any ideas?

be patient for answers here

Ive noticed it charges slowly but I have not noticed it being slow while charging.

The theoretical output of the charger is .7 amps, and thats not very much in the smartphone world these days. When I am using it and it is plugged in, it charges roughly a percent every eight minutes. The .7 amps must be just enough to cover the phone being on and in use.

I am currently looking around for chargers in the 1 amp range. My old tilt 2 charger works great for that and i definitely saw a charge time improvement. I would love to have one with a greater than 1amp output but I dont think you can find them anywhere

Are you running SetCPU with set profiles ?

If Yes : that is the problem , adjust profile.
If Not : must be something else, not a common behavior.

I read this on another forum but someone mentioned changing the default usb setting from Kies to something something else may help.

Ordered these the other day. Just combine them with a USB cable.

No, mine doesnt do that. It runs the same whether its plugged into the wall charger or not.

As long as the output is 5 volts, you're o.k.

My captivate runs the same while charging but the actual process of charging the phone takes forever it seems. I've only had it a couple days now and I have to get used to killing some tasks while charging because I actually think the battery life was decreasing as it charged.

Incidentally, the display is the real killer on the battery...most tasks don't really eat as much battery life in comparison.

Recent Nokia chargers will work with a slight mod to the plug where it fits the phone,

After Pimping out my phone it works fine while charging now. Yea screen eats up like 82% of batteries resources...OUCH!

Just search for Motorola P513 on Amazon. Rapid rate car charger! And, belive me, it's perfect fit! Now on sale for $5.85 (was $29.99).

I agree with the device charging slowly (but then again it doesn't help that I'm using it while it charges) but I have not had any performance issues.

for those of you who have a old iphone/ipod touch charger block, use that instead.

its rated for 5V/1A output, higher than the 5V/.7A output on the default samsung charging block.

that should charge the phone much faster

I have the same issue with charging, no matter what charger I use (iPhone, Tilt, USB), it's all VERY painfully slow. I've been as high as 1% per 6 minutes (rare - when using Nokia charger (1.2A I believe) to 1% per 13 minutes via USB.

I'm thinking it might be something internal to the actual phone. The iPhone didn't take this long even with USB charging through a computer or LCD monitor. Heck, the iPhone on average was 90 seconds per 1% of battery. I could have a nearly dead phone and be fully charged and ready in less than an hour and a half.

Anyone else think the same?

 

[littleasian]

yea i think it might be something related to the phone indeed. this is, in my opinion, the biggest problem. i'm always on the go and i depend on my phone so much that if it doesn't charge fast enough i'm screwed.

let me make a post in the galaxy s forum and see if there's battery charging problems

Everyone else is charging.

which thread is that? I'm curious to track that one as well. I have gotten 4 other people to purchase the Captivate from the iPhone and we are all on the same boat..even with a 1.2A charger from my N97 (which only lasted 3 weeks with me...but can't wait for the N8), it takes about 4 hours to charge the battery...something's wrong there. It shouldn't take less to drain the battery than to charge it!
