Phone Question

[MissCroft]

Maybe a silly question but I've been having a problem with my cell phone. I feel like my hands get hot and I sometimes feel little electrical shcks. My right arm feels like it's vibrating even after use when I'm not touching the phone. I took it to Koodo and they found nothing wrong with it. I even mentioned it to my doctor and she said "some people are sensitive to radiation. Just stop using your phone." Not very helpful.

Anyway, it's driving me crazy, especially since it's a new phone. I've even tried wearing gloves when I use it. Has anyone experienced this? I feel like people think I'm crazy. lol

What type of phone, android or iphone? I've heard this happen with some people I know with newer iphones but not their older ones. Many switched to androids - S22, S23, S24 and S25 - and had no problem with those. None of these people ever found or got a reason for this problem.

I always knew there was something electric about you Miss Croft

But seriously I've never heard of this issue happening to anyone due to cell phone use. Perhaps its something to do with your arm?

Does this happen if you use any other electric/electronic devices? Like a laptop or hair dryer or remote for a TV etc?

Actually, yes, a bit. With my remote and laptop but not as bad as with the phone. I don't normally use a hairdryer but I'll test that to see.

Well if it's happening with other devices odds are it's not your phone itself that is the issue. Maybe your doctor was onto something

Do you perhaps have carpal tunnel issues?

EMG tests would be required.

might be interesting to see a neurologist

I had a Google Pixel 7 pro and it use to heat up in my pocket all the time. I thought gor sure I was gonna catch in fire like Michael Jackson on day.

At the end of the day, I just got rid of it for a Samsung. Sorry, I don't think that was what you wanna hear.

maybe move your chip to a different phone and see if there's any difference.

I have had carpal tunnel issues in the past. I have a neurologist - I'll book an appointment.

Thanks everyone!

Maybe it's this about to happen.
