My mobile auto operating! Happened with anyone?

[Bapun]

As title. From last 3-4 days my mobile (Samsung Galaxy S9+) has started working differently.

If i opened a web page then clicks on any link even if haven't clicked on screen.

If i open dialer sometimes it call last dialed number, same happens everywhere.

I have kept the phone on floor and still it was operating for sometime.

The insanity stops after i restart or turn off screen for sometime. Also very laggy. I didn't do any software updates from last August as Samsung usually adds newer hardware features which makes the old gen device slow.

Malware, software issue, ghost, what else you guess!?

And, this is happening while writing this thread too.

It happened on my old Tab.

Its got Ghost Touch.

My Tab was starting apps on its own, playing games on its own.

It was scary first when i didnt know what it was, goosbumps all over, then i did research and it was Ghost Touch

First tell me if you actually wrote this thread or your phone auto posted it. I seriously believe it might be ghost. Just throw your phone away. or courier it here, i will test it.

As Anish Pai said it may be ghost touch. You can read about ghost touch and try some fix here.
It may be an Adware or Malware too. Go to Safe Mode and use you device if you don't get that issue in safe mode then some Bad app is installed.

@Bapun Raz bro never skip software updates, they install latest security features to protect device against constant malware or virus and these r upgraded keeping in mind ever changing nature of threats. I know that you know more about these things than me but still giving this important advice as a brother.

Also keep some memory free on ur phone, sometimes due to excess load phone starts behaving weirdly. Lastly avoid dowloading apps or any content from untrusted sources, these may look safe but cause trouble secretly

The symptom is like mlaware.
Please try to remember have you ever downloaded anything from untrusted site??
Cannot be a ghost.It can also be a stealth virus issue.
I faced this issue with my old phone(samsung gts6102)in 2015.Later I found it was a malware.Because I downloaded a song from untrusted site

Sounds like a problem in Touch censor.

It can be hardware or software issue. If going to Safe Mode doesn't help then sadly it's hardware problem.
