Help Bizarre phone behavior while charging

When I plug the phone into universal charger it displays different home screens, opens browser, types, makes calls. It's as if the phone has a mind of it's own. Virtual keyboard issue? Software problem. Any ideas how to fix?
 
yea, the software or something is bugged, I have the same issue, you try to touch the screen at all and the phone has a mind of his own.

I thought mine was broken then I started asking around and apparently its common if you use a 3rd party charger.

Does it do the same thing when you use the OEM Samsung charger? If not then it is the charger. Not all chargers are good and for the cheap price of under $10 you can get another Samsung charger.
 
No doubt it's the charger. My OG Droid did the same thing when I didn't use the official Droid charger.
