The reviews for this charger indicate that this charger does not have enough power to charge while using the device

Why would anyone want to spend $25 on the same technology we already have? And someone at Verizon or Samsung decided it would be a novel idea to remove functionality for 3rd party chargers. I'd like to get to the bottom of this, because it totally seems like a Verizon thing to do, not Samsung. Yet Verizon is blaming Samsung for it.
Looks like Sprint is the only other carrier to get the 4.3 update so far, but no claims of this issue on that forum on AndroidCentral.

Good afternoon wpin,
Let's get this issue resolved! My son has this device and he encountered the same issue, which we resolved by doing a http://vz.to/1b59FYH factory reset. Please do it and test.

Factory reset needs to be a last resort, not a first resort. It takes a lot of time and energy to backup all the data and settings and then restore them

TopJCat, this is an unfortunate coincidence. Let's take a closer look into this. Have you downloaded 3rd party applications to your device from the Google Play market to your device? Some application software can affect the performance of your device after the 4.3 update is pushed to your phone. I recommend that you uninstall a few applications, power it off/on, and charge the device again.

I am also dealing with this problem, and so is my husband. My phone is also going to a black screen and locks me out for some time. I have noticed that my phone also feels hotter now after the upgrade.

Hi Nitsuj,
We certainly appreciate the additional details relating to your charger. Having a fully functional device is indeed important. With the recent device update, third party chargers are no longer eligible to be utilized on the device. In order to charge your device you will need to use the factory OEM charger that came with your device or a factory OEM car charger. Once either of these options are utilized, your device will begin to charge properly, thanks!
