Electrifiying Bezel

[Guest Bouncer5]

When my phone is charging by the mains when my finger rubs the bezel, I can feel the electricity running into my fingers, Not just my desire that does my friends does it and its not my plug, Design flaw or a flaw with me!

[Guest kman123]

This happens with my desire and my hero.

Dont know what it could be though :huh:

If you're genuinely getting current through the plastic bezel (highly unlikely), then you have a short circuit and should return the device immediately.

I get it too, it's more a sort of pulsing sensation when it's on charge.

My uncle's laptop that he bought from America does exactly the same when it's plugged into the mains on the metal parts of it.

Not quite the same (although the symptoms are identical) here: http://forums.xkcd.com/viewtopic.php?f=18&...p;view=previous (didn't expect to find something like that on XKCD!)

The bezel on the Desire is made of some sort of metal and that may explain a slight tingling when you run your fingers on it and the phone is charging .

I get the same feeling when i run my fingertips on my netbooks touch pad frame which is also made of metal.

I get a similar feeling when I ride the bus and sit on the back seats where the engine vibration is strongest

:huh:

[Guest hrcro2]

I had similar effect on my asus p750, hd2 and desire.

They all "vibrated" when I touched their metal parts when charging. So I guess it is normal.

[Guest JadeMonkee]

Yeah, I have this on my Hero, too.

I'm glad someone else has it... I thought I was a little crazy.

lol @h00pyfr00d

If I understand what you're depicting, I feel the same touching the case of my HP Notebook. However, I'm keeping touch my Desire in any known way, but no feelings.

It only happens for me when I run my finger along the metal part, not if I only touch it

Yep, that's what I intended.
