When I plug the phone in, the screen turns on, but after I shut the screen back off, it doesn't come back on.

You're saying that even after you shut the screen off while it's charging, the screen turns back on by itself?

Or do you mean that when the phone is charged it powers on? Because no that is not normal... It will 'power on' to tell you it's fully charged even when turned off, but it is not supposed to power up on it's own at any time...

If you're using a USB cable that also provides data and it is plugged into a wall adapter then yes your phone will turn on just as it does when you plug the USB cable into a computer with your phone connected.

If you are using a wall charger that has the cable permanently attached then the phone does not power on when plugged in. The charger that comes in the box is this type.

Like I said, does it have a removable USB cable that you can also use with your computer? If so, that is why it TURNS ON.

wall charger or not, using any other charger for our phones other then Samsung chargers will make or can make our phones do funny things. Long story short there is on average 4 connectors on most phones in the plug spot. Two of the connectors are strictly power. On allot of the phones these two prongs are the same location for charging. But the remaining two are data. If they are switched around or phone will recognize that and try turning on thinking it is being plugged into a computer. I have tried a cable from a black berry on my phone. The cable charged my phone but would not transfer data.

Yep, seen the same effect. Using an LG charger, it does the same as the OP. Using Samsung charger allows me to charge it and stay off. The latter is supposed to be better for topping off the battery.
