Default Wfs charger problem

My phone acts itself like if it is operated by a ghost when it is connected to charger and sometimes the charger becomes over heated

Do you have the original charger?
I bought a charger from China and it happened like that, but it doesn't happens with the HTC genuine charger.

It definately sounds like a charger that is not regulating the voltage properly. I would stop using the charger immediately and use usb from a laptop or pc. I have fried a few phones using the wrong or cheap chargers, tho old razr's were famous for that.

Its a common issue. Its covered under HTC warranty. I suggest you get it swapped.

Check the specs of a charger. It should be 1A, 5V if I remember right. It is not recommended to use charger with higher specs.
