Screen issues when i plug in charger! AHH!

[Braille]

I have had my backflip (love the phone) for about 2 weeks now and about 3 days ago it developed a problem. When i plug in my charger the screen goes completely crazy. Its almost as if the calibration of it is bugged. It will start opening apps and typing things.. etc.. Anyway, the only way i have realized to fix this is issue to pull the battery out. Should i stick this out until an update or send this back for a replacement?

Have you installed any new apps lately or soon before you noticed this happening?

Ya know, I lost my charger that came with the phone so i bought a new motorola one from my local ATT store. Well just last night i found the charger under my car seat and it plugged it. I then thought to myself, is this really a motorola charger i bought? i looked and it was from Technocel, it just has MOTOROLA on big print meaning it works for those phones. esh. Well with the stock charger i do not get the crazy screen calibration issues. So thanks for the suggestions! I really appreciate it.

The differences between my Motorola Micro USB wall charger and Micro USB Cable/Transformer combo are slight, but might be the root of the problem.

#1 - Aftermarket and wall-only chargers (not the USB port power kind that came with the phone) are very lightweight and thus probably non-filtered. The filters cut down on electrical noise which can probably affect the screen

#2 - The Moto wall charger I have says it puts out 5v @ 550mA
The USB port power replicator puts out 5.1v @ 850mA
So, the phone could draw more power than the wall charger supplies

Just my observations - so maybe if looking for an aftermarket or Moto micro USB charger, maybe look for one that matches the specs of the one that came in the box
