| 1292024 | 2012-08-01 02:32:00 | Apple iPhone emits three time the radiation as the Samsung Galaxy S III? www.phonearena.com Interesting bits ... "About a year after we originally wrote about the app, Apple removed the app from the App Store saying that there was no interest in the app. At the time, there was a question of whether that was the real reason for tawkon's removal from the online applications store. After all, senior Apple executives had given high marks to the app's functionality and looks and had even helped the developers get the app through API restrictions and into the App Store. Some believe that Apple had forced the removal of tawkon because it did not present the Apple iPhone in the best light." |

| 1292025 | 2012-08-01 03:13:00 | How is this anything other than fearmongering? Non-ionising electromagnetic radiation (the type emitted from cellphones), at the levels used by *any* cellphone, has never been conclusively proven to cause any damage whatsoever to the humans who use them, and there's plenty of evidence that this level of EM radiation is perfectly safe. Simply sitting in the same room as a heater, or standing in the sun, results in orders of magnitude more heat being applied to the body areas in question than a cellphone can possibly generate. It's also worth pointing out that simply holding your hand to the side of your head for fifteen minutes will result in an almost identical thermal image - claiming that this image shows health-damaging effects is pure fabrication. I personally suspect that a large part of what causes people's fear of EM stems from them confusing it with ionising radiation (which is very definitely known to be damaging, even at low levels). |

| 1292027 | 2012-08-01 05:20:00 | Strangely enough, a few years back I happened to have my Nokia phone sitting close to my cordless electric razor and when the phone rang, my razor started working. :confused: Now, I dont know the mechanics of it all, but the phone was emitting something electrically strong enough that it started my razor and from then on I always wondered what it was doing when you put it up to your head when talking and what harm it could be doing. |

| 1292028 | 2012-08-01 05:32:00 | "electically strong enough that it started my razor". The problem with not knowing how it works is that it can lead you to be wrong. Things like that dont get triggered by electrical 'strength'. There have been many studies done on this and all legitimate studies have shown that your at no risk what so ever of damaging the tissue in your head. The fact that anyone could think that baffles me as the numbers are so low and the exposure is so small. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1292029 | 2012-08-01 05:36:00 | maybe he thought vibrate mode on the cellphone was his razor ?? | 1101 (13337) | ||
| 1292030 | 2012-08-01 05:49:00 | Believe me, it started. I also did the same thing by ringing my cell phone that evening and showed my flatemate when he got home so it wasnt a fluke. I still have them both, I'll see if I can charge up the phone and get a mate to video it. | Iantech (16386) | ||
| 1292031 | 2012-08-01 06:03:00 | Im not saying it dident happen im saying that it does not indicate a large amount of EMR. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
| 1292032 | 2012-08-01 06:35:00 | I discovered by accident that my PC's speakers will pick up an incoming text before the phone announces it. If I sit the phone between the speakers (amp and power supply built into one of the speakers) they will produce about 8 sputtering sounds over about 2 seconds. Another second later my phone lights up and announces a text. Seen it happen twice. It can't be the incoming signal, so it must be the outgoing handshaking signals from my phone that it's picking up. Given the amount of data in acknowledging a text is miniscule when compared with the stream of data in a voice call, it does leave you wondering just how much energy is being fed through our brains. |

| 1292033 | 2012-08-01 06:50:00 | Oh god. If you dont understand it then stop coming to you own conclusions. Microwaves are the type of electro magnetic radiation used in phones to connect to cell towered and cannot cause defects in tissue aside from heating and i dont think many people have noticed there heads getting warm when on the phone and certainly not at leathal levels. Thus it is simply impossible to have any radiation sickness from a phone unless your phone is magically pumping out 2000rads (half the average dose for radio therapy) then i would not be concerned. Not only this but just about all microchips will fry at 1000rad so there is no way that you phone is outputting this magical radiation. Anyone who says otherwise is either to envoke fear or just doesnt know the facts. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||
