Charger voltage & touch screen issues

This is an interesting one.
For a few days I was going crazy trying to figure out why the touchscreen was going crazy on my SGS2. It wasn't registering my touches, it was jumping, stuttering.

I did some googling and realised it was probably related to the charger I was using. Stopped using it and voila, no more screen problems.

I don't get the thing about amps or volts or whatever, so can anyone explain what happened? The sticker on the charger that caused the problem says:

Input: 250VAC 50Hz 70mA
Output: 5V (some symbol with 1 thick line and 3 lines unerneath it) 1A


My other question is how did I avoid this happening again? I want to get another USB plug/charger, and obviously I don't want one that will do this.

Also does the USB cable make a difference?

Any responses welcome.:thinking:
