Help Atrix screen is jumpy when plugged in

Hi guys, first post here...

Whenever my Atrix is plugged into the wall jack, the touch screen is almost unusable. It seems like it's some sort of static thing, but I'll touch one letter, and three others will hit. I've had it since the day it came out and it's really starting to get on my nerves. :mad:

I originally thought it was a problem with the OS because when they put out the first OTA it seemed to help a bit, but now it's worse than ever. I installed GingerBlur recently and am thinking of going back to stock to take it back.

Is this a known problem? Any thoughts?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 
It's the charger. Go to AT&T and they will replace it under warranty, no questions asked. I demo'd my issue right in the store and the AT&T rep was baffled. Just to note: I bought the "green" charger that they promised was compatible with the Atrix and as it turns out, it certainly isn't. Something with the low voltage just didn't work. Made the screen unresponsive.

I was traveling at the time and forgot my original charger...but if you original charger is causing this issue, take it and your Atrix into the store and show them. It wil be replaced on the spot.
 
Thanks man, now all I need to do is do a factory restore to take GingerBlur off... :p

no need, just have them replace the charger. they will need to get you a stock one out of a box from one of their displays, the aftermarket ones dont always work.
