New phone (Galaxy 5) issue. The screen keeps turning on while charging.

I was due for a free upgrade so I went in and got a new S5.
All is well except that when I put it on the charger and turn the screen off, like 10-20 seconds later the screen will turn back on even though there's no notification or anything to prompt that.
Does anybody have the phone and have had the issue before or have any idea what may be causing this?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe your charger isn't making good contact with your phone's charging port. Do you have a phone case that is keeping it from staying plugged in all the way?

Ermagherd I'm reading too many things at once...I read it correctly the first time.
Edit: I have the same phone and haven't ever had that problem.

I have this phone I bet it's your charging port/ chord. See if the charging icon goes off and then goes back on

I think it may be..
So this phone has a different kind of charging port and it came with a new charging cord/etc...but the old universal chargers still fit and are supposed to work with it.
I was using the old charger. I just took the new cord and stuff and plugged it in and it didn't do it..
So, perhaps it's just an issue with the universal type tips or something

Also, not that it's a huge deal, but with my old phone (S3) the Shroomery icon on my home screen was the mushroom logo.. Now the shortcut icon is just the red ribbon thing with "shLong's Threads" underneath it.
Any idea how to force the shroom icon?

I have that phone and it will do that when I try charging it in the car. I believe the reason it does this is because the charging cable that comes with it and phone is usb 3.0 So im guessing its pulling more power than there is to give.

Yeah, just set a bookmark and put the icon for it on the screen.

So it's looking like it's just the chargers used or whatever.

Well that's cool, I don't really need it though because I have the chrome app down by my apps so it's more convenient to click on and I just always have shroomery open
