Hey guys, anyways this is a wildquestion that comes out from my mind. I'm a mobile user from many years, but have you tried using this way many times? If yes, then look deeply with this good explaination from me EXPLAINATION: Charging while using the phoneis in fact not recommended. Because while the phone is charging, whole power is used to charge the phone. That's why your phone gets charged within the usual time. Usually when the charging is complete, the phones firmware stops the charging process internally (at least in some phones). Also the phones battery comes loaded with a temperature monitor circuit which gives a feedback signal to the phone to stop/adjust charging current if the temperature increases beyond certain limits. But whenyou use it, power is drawn fromthe battery and as a result the battery heats up. Still the charger continues to charge it because the battery voltage is below the cutoff. As a result every time you use it when charging, the battery is not getting the full charging power -and it acts like the charger is what feeding the phone literally- so it keeps on chargingand also warms up the battery a lot more due to both chargingand discharging at the same time. If its a good quality battery, it signals back a temp feedback stopping the chargingprocess even if its still plugged in. These are the reason why the charging time increases and you feel unusual warm. In short, when you are using while charging the battery is undergoing high stress due to + discharging at a higher rate than charging. + insufficient charging voltage/current. + temperature of battery & phone (as a whole), + frequent cutoff etc... Here I said only about the battery. But in reality, it affects the phone and charger as well. So using the phone while charging is really really bad idea for your phone, charger & battery. The outcome can be from a bulged dead battery to a fried charging circuit at the worst. |

sting_224: stale news Yeah, it's stale news for you and me but not so for others. I've heard about this like 3years ago and since then I've never done such again. It's better to put on the loudspeaker when receiving a call or remove the charging port from the phone. Also, people should endeavour to use the loudspeaker at times whether the phone is charging/not. #Prevention is better than cure# |

Trendline: Many people are guilty of this! I guess you should stop it after reading this and please tell others about it... Absolute rubbish. You need to be an illiterate to believe this, or your cell phone was made in 1862. The kind of current that would fry your phone would have destroyed the adaptor before it even gets to you. |

felifeli:i have seen a phone battery exploded before, but it is extremely uncommon, and if it appears it's usually because someone has been using the wrong charger or battery, so it is possible, for it to cause death is something i think might theoritically be possible, because of the presence of chemicals like Lithium which can cause death if it finds it way into the blood stream, so i will advice pls dont answer call while charge your phone , prevention is better than cure |

Rubbish talk. I always cringe in anger whenever I get reminded to unplug the charger before receiving a call. Rubbish,I say! |

Neverusethecellphone whileitishookedtothe mains! Thisismyhumbleplea. Sincerely, Dr.D.SureshKumarR& Comments: I have rated this warning "overblown" because it stems from a single news report published in 2004 about an Indian man who was fatally electrocuted while answering a cell phone that was plugged in for charging. Assuming the report was accurate, it is fair to conclude that either the phone or the charger was defective, given that 1) I could find no other reports of people being electrocuted while using a charging cell phone, 2) under normal circumstances the current flowing into a charging cell phone ought not to be strong enough to kill anyone, and 3) neither manufacturers nor consumer agencies warn customers against using mobile phones while they are being charged. Under the circumstances, therefore, it would seem excessive to label the ubiquitous device "an instrument of death." Which is not to say no one has ever been injured by a cell phone. Over the past few years there have been numerous reports of cell phones exploding or catching fire, causing injury to their owners. Most of these incidents were blamed on the use of unauthorized and/or faulty batteries. Source: urbanlegends.about.com/library/bl_cell_phone_electrocuted.htm |

I totally disagree. 1.The type of current that comes out of a charger is DC. A charger is as good as a battery. All it does is push from charger(abt 4.5V) into battery(3V). (Does forget dat car battery of 12V does not shock) 2. The charger cable is more flexible than a common stabilizer fuse, and so cannot even take an AC 4 long. It will render d cable useless. If there is any fault and and there is a form of electrical escape, it cannot pass through d cable for long dat will result in death. 3. From d safety point of view, all dat could av happened was heat generated on probably d bed, meeting any form of fuel and oxygen mixture. heat (@ignition temp) + oxygen + fuel= fire 4. OP, if u believe in spiritual attack, av a re-think. |

1. If the exterior is metallic it would conduct. If it isnt it wouldnt. 2. Avoid recieving calls or making calls without earphones (i.e handsfree) cos of the high electromagnetic waves emitted at such times(10times greater) 3. Dont place your phones around your chest and balls (for guys). My own 2 cent. |
