As the update rolled out, it started affecting more and more users who turn to the forums to look for help.&lt;p&gt;One consequence of these ghost touches would be inputting the wrong PIN which will initially lock the device for one minute, so I don&amp;#x27;t see what&amp;#x27;s strange about that.&lt;p&gt;Which messages, specifically, are you referring to with &amp;quot;exact time &amp;amp; date&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;same timestamp&amp;quot;? I skimmed through them but nothing of sort stood out.</text></comment>

Unlikely.</text></comment>
