chiangrai Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 I have gone travelling with a tablet and I'm still figuring out how to use it but I'm mainly having problems when I'm using it and charging it at the same time. I've learnt that I can't use a USB drive while charging it because I have a USB port number 2. I know I need a 2amp charger and that a 1amp one won't work. But even so I am still having problems. When I'm charging it while using it now the machine still behaves strangely. The touch screen becomes really insensitive, I have to really tap hard and sharp to get it to respond. It also seems to respond to the internet much more slowly. It's slow to open pages and videos on YouTube. Is there anything I can do about that.

JetsetBkk Posted August 2, 2019 Share Posted August 2, 2019 Odd behaviour happens with my "OnePlus 2" mobile phone's touch screen and my Asus Ultrabook laptop's touch pad. All that power going in is finding other ways to get out. Both are fine when not charging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crossy Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Are you using the branded charger that came with the tablet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aussie11950 Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 If you are using a cheap charger, it probably has poor filtering and the output can have a small component of AC superimposed on the DC voltage. This can interfere with the signals used on the touch screen. Try a different charger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiangrai Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 It's a Lenovo 8 inch Android charger and the original charger shorted and blew in a hotel when it shorted. The charger I'm using now is a Samsung 2 Amp.Is it worth buying a Lenovo charger just to see if it's better. They also have Lenovo wireless chargers. Would they charge while playing a USB drive at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thingamabob Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Maybe get organised so that you don't use and charge simultaneously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiangrai Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 It's my only device at the moment so I'm using it like a laptop. I can work around it but if it could be easily fixed I would prefer to fix it. Here's a really basic question.....I got this SIM card a few days back and I'm getting data usage warnings. It's on a plan with 1.5GB data per day. Does the warning mean that I should top up the card. How far would 1.5GB go if youre watching you tube.

Macthehat Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 Using your tablet while charging will drastically reduce the life of you battery and eventually render it useless . Been there with the kids using games and not waiting on the re charge before playing again . Had to replace both batteries on my tablet and phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiangrai Posted August 3, 2019 Author Share Posted August 3, 2019 Is that true. What about the tablets with usb3 ports. They can charge while in use. That's a bummer if your right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilotman Posted August 3, 2019 Share Posted August 3, 2019 My I Pad Mini does exactly the same thing when charging. It is hyper sensitive on the touch screen and sometimes will not let me put in my security pin to unlock it. Once I disconnect it, it's fine.

Even when not using it actively it’s always performing some background activity so effectively operating and chaeging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maccra Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 In a previous post you say you have the Lenovo TB-8504X with Android 8.1.0. I looked at the User Guide and found this Trouble Shooting information about an not sensitive touch screen. Probably worth a try to turn it off by holding the Off button for 10 secs.

elgenon Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 My apologies to the OP But I have my Dell Inspiron 15 3000 series and when I plug it in and turn it on it says the source can not be determined or something like that and to press F1 to continue. The laptop doesn't charge but it only loses 1% of its charge every third time I turn it on. Does anyone know if it is the charger or the battery or the motherboard? I bought it in the US and am using the charger that came with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
