"Incorrect PIN" error

So, just how many people are getting the "incorrect PIN" message at odd times recently? I see a couple of posts in a couple of different subforums for specific phones.

It started happening on my Lumia 830 about 2 or 3 weeks ago. Sometimes it makes me enter A1B2C3 before I can unlock my phone, but at other times it says I have to reboot completely.

It seems to happen most often after it's been plugged in for a while, but I don't know for sure if there's a connection.

Last night, I rebooted it while it was plugged in before I went to sleep, and it gave me the error message when I picked it up first thing in the morning (and I'm pretty sure no one was standing next to me while I slept, trying to unlock my phone).

Anyone else?

Does your phone has phantom touch issues? Also make sure nothing is touching the screen.

My 535 does self typing by itself sometimes. 😈 Then encounter what you have mentioned above.
