[Q] Anyone else get a headache?

Just upgraded from a desire, and after being on a call for a few mins, I get a headache!
I feel it on both temples, and am wondering if its because of the new antenna/case etc...
Anyone else experience this?

Nope if anything it should be the opposite, as the phone itself shields your head from radiation
Edit: the Desire actually has twice the radiation as the sensation.

As stated, the SAR level of the sensation is 0.776 (@1.6W/kg) whereas the desire is 1.48 (@1.6W/kg) - so the sensation should be cooking you less.
I'd say your headache was more likely caused by the person on the other end of the line
My call time is currently at just over 21 hours... no side effects.

SAR level is not very informative. If corresponds to the PEAK value measured, not the average. If a phone transmits at 0.1W/kg for an hour and for 1 second, for whatever reason, jumps to 10W/kg, then the SAR will be 10. Not really appropriate, is it?

Really? I thought it was average... well that's a bit rubbish then.

I suppose im sensitive more to this phone than others, cuz i can really feel something!

No headache here but sometimes I have to make a bowel movement when I use my phone......anyone else?
Also I heard that the light emitted from the screen cures athletes foot and baldness.

Is it your mother in law you are talking to? That might explain it.

Not in this instance!
That usually means a pain in the A**!

Lmao @ some of these comments, classics.
As for the headaches, try to think of another factor which is causing it, i've thought long and hard about the possible damage that wireless devices could do, but then you come to realise that there are waves all over the place and theres not a lot anyone can do about it to be honest.
Your neighbours wifi is probably beaming out some sort of signal all the time, your cordless house phone, your mobile, your families mobiles, the list is endless and it doesn't really help to begin to worry about something which you can't do a lot about, if you think that your handset specifically is malfunctioning then maybe theres a way to test it out? I'm not to up to speed on SAR ratings and such but i'm pretty sure theres a way to get a reading from it.
If it's always too high then maybe think about returning it and getting a new one.
sorry i couldn't be more help.
EDIT: I don't get a headache from mine either, but then again life is a headache at times so maybe i overlooked it

The fact that we are surrounded by waves is correct, however when you think about the inverse square law of power with distance, there is a huge difference in what amount of radiation you receive from your neighbors wifi compared to the handset stuck to your ear...

I got a mad headache too, but then again my buddy just found out his girl was cheating so last night was my responsibility to get him hammered and find him a rebound. (didnt work he ended up getting kicked out of the bar for pissing off the back deck..lol)
Bull**** aside, Dont hold the phone ON your ear, even 5/8" of an inch away makes a difference in radiation omitted. Or try using that sweet new Headset your phone came with.

Funnily enough I think I need to do that anyway!Im finding the sound from the Sensarion very tinny and buzzy compared to my Desire...
So unless im going crazy, thats two annoying things!
At least im not hearing voices yet, in my head anyway!

Haven't you heard that the Sensation has the death grip problem? It will kill you if you grip it too hard. Headache is the warning sign that you might be already gripping too hard.

All the nagging from my sister gives me a horrible headache. Sometimes I take my Sensation and massage my temples with the corner of the phone after a conversation with her.
I use the cat pictured to the left for treatment of frequent migraines. I would suggest call you primary care provider and have them prescribe you a cat.

My Galaxy S II Exploded in the cold!!!

A couple weeks ago, I noticed my Galaxy S II wasn't syncing up with the charger properly - It would disconnect in odd successions for no reason unless I had the phone positioned JUST right. Figuring I'd take it into AT&T when I had a day off work I took to just charging it in my car. (Easier to position the phone at the proper angle for charger to sync)
One cold evening (upper 30's) I left my phone in the car for a few hours - and returned to find my phone screen full of splinters and cracks. - - When turning on the phone, the screen is black and the touch sensitive buttons are completely unresponsive.
However, The power & volume buttons do work. (I can hear incoming emails/texts) so the phone is receiving data - but I can't answer calls, etc.
I am now back & forthing w/ Samsung in order to get a replacement - I feel like this shouldn't be something I even have to fight for. - - What are your thoughts?

Tell them when it exploded, you were personally injured. Fear of Law Suit will do wonders to your case.

I had the same issue with my wall charger last week. I had to keep the phone in upright position to get it to charge. Fortunately, I threw tht charger and got a new USB cable.
Its charging well now.
I cant even claim warrenty as I got this phone off craigslist.

My thoughts??? Leaving 800$ phone in freezing temperatures for a few hours is F***in DUMB!!! You serious man? Samsung will not give you a replacement. This is as stupid as saying i decided to go white water rafting with the phone in my pocket.

Guy doesn't take care of his phone and expects Samsung to fix it

Is it stated anywhere in the user manual (probably in the warnings/safety part of it) to not leave the phone in the cold for extended periods of time, or anything of the like? If so, I'd say it's a no go for a warranty, but if not, could tell them that there was no statement that the phone could not handle colder temperatures.

Ehh, my phone has survived a few nights in the 30's, my Thunderbolt. I'd at least give the folks a call and see what they can do - I do believe most normal phones can survive something as minor as those temperatures.

Polish Pat, are YOU serious? You're comparing exposure to cold weather to exposure to water. You're making a statement like that, and you're calling another forum member dumb and stupid? The next time you go snow skiing when it's below freezing, maybe you should shove your skyrocket up your...ascot...so it doesn't get cold. If Samsung can't make a phone to survive a few hours of cold weather, then they shouldn't be in the business. But that's not the case. It was a defective or previously damaged phone, plain and simple.
Instead of bashing other people coming on this forum looking to share experiences and find some answers, you could try to be a little more helpful. Just sayin'...

Actually, you kinda are. You're getting angry at a guy who didn't do anything to you. And what he did with his phone isn't out of line. His screen should not have cracked for any reason other than breaking it by force. You're overreacting. Maybe you shouldn't have a phone this expensive if the idea of someone else "abusing" theirs is too much for you.

hey buddy, there is a difference between having a phone in a car where its freezing and a phone in a coat that DESIGNED TO SHIELD YOU FROM THE COLD!!! And yes this is dumb to leave a phone in the cold, in case you dont inderstand the mechanics of an lcd screen, the liquid does not support the expansion of heat or the compression of cold. Take it or leave it but YOU DONT LEAVE THE PHONE IN THE COLD FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME

There is no REQUIREMENT to be a consumer of this product. I dont believe that an average Joe (consumer) would understand the mechanics of a lcd screen nor it is required.
With that being said, there is no need for name calling as you did. It is human to make mistakes and forget things regardless of how knowledgable you are.

**** like this will NEVER happen to me and my respect for 800$ phones! Yes, i was harsh, but its because of cases like this, LEGIT people with flawed screen are passed in the same category as variable damaged phones.
The point is, YOU DONT LEAVE you phone in the cold, its not designed for it, it MIGHT survive in some cases, and not in others. But responsiblity has to be taken for a person who "forgets" his phone in cold weather, juts like it has to be taken for those who drop it in water. It's not the same thing, but the outcome is the same, need for repair, for an outside policy case

Manual says 0°C to 45°C. Upper 30s is in range.

I understand what your trying to say but don't use assumption to make your argument.
You dont know that this kind of problem will get passed as the same category. Are you really that familar with policies and procedures of Samsung electronics? or are you just assuming that it will get passed on as the same category as lets say the people with lines and blobs problem? Even if it is a true case, people will always and will ALWAYS will try to plead their case in trying to avoid paying for a brand new phone and abuse their warranty policies. And there is nothing we can do about it. (Not saying this guy is.)
As far as leaving the phone in his car goes, let's leave it up to the professionals of samsung and see if he actually does get his new phone with his kind of damage. It is up to them whether or not they want to replace it for him. Plain and simple. Not up to us.

Sounds like a perfectly good claim to me then. The device didn't operate according to its specifications and malfunctioned. Not a user-end problem. Yeah, he left it in the cold, but it should NOT have malfunctioned like it did, according to their set specifications for operating temperatures.

Really bud? Think about what you said, a blob or a line is a manufacturer flaw. A cracked screen is not, its physical damage. Leave your phone on the counter for thousands of years, it will never crack. Leave it in your car when its cold, it will. All manufacturers have the same policy, USER CAUSED ISSUES are not covered in any standard warranty except for the Asus Accidental Damage warranty, which to my knowledge is only valid on laptops.
Here is the part from samsung warranty policy about whats NOT covered:
What is Not Covered? This Limited Warranty is conditioned upon proper use of Product by Purchaser. This Limited Warranty does not cover: (a) defects or damage resulting from accident, misuse, abuse, neglect, unusual physical, electrical or electromechanical stress, or modification of any part of Product, including antenna, or cosmetic damage; (b) equipment that has the serial number removed or made illegible; (c) any plastic surfaces or other externally exposed parts that are scratched or damaged due to normal use; (d) malfunctions resulting from the use of Product in conjunction with accessories, products, or ancillary/peripheral equipment not furnished or approved by SAMSUNG; (e) defects or damage from improper testing, operation, maintenance, installation, or adjustment; (f) installation, maintenance, and service of Product, or (g) Product used or purchased outside the United States or Canada.
So i can GUARANTEE this specific problem with OP is not covered.
Well enough with the trolling, good luck OP, and may this be a lesson for you, and anybody who doesnt treat an 800$ phone like if it was a diamond incrusted phone

good luck trying to prove your phone was 3 degree above rated operation temperature...to them, it was on a bath of liquid nitrogen.
"This Limited Warranty does not cover: (a) defects or damage resulting from accident, misuse, abuse, neglect, unusual physical, electrical or electromechanical stress
Even if it did crack above freezing temperature, and within range of manuf rating temp, this is UNUSUAL ELECTROMECHANICAL STRESS

Looks staged to me. I have been doing SMT and hand soldering for years and it looks like someone took a iron and some soldier to it. I doubt that it got hot enough to melt soldier on its own even if it did catch fire that kinda heat would have done way more damage to the phone.

We were just talking about this in another thread, and I hate to be repetitive, but if you Google "<insert name of phone/manufacturer for just about any device> bursts into flames", you will get a ton of hits. Happens to iPhones all the time, and it's even happened to a few Skyrocket owners.

It's completely staged.
There are no internals anywhere near that spot that could have burned the plastic.
And the day right before the US launch?
I'd say it's Apple approved.

My thoughts exactly there is nothing that is going to get as hot as 728 degrees Fahrenheit in that area. The battery may be able to put out that kinda temps, maybe but that is further up in the phone, and other parts of the phone would have been damaged first not just the very bottom of it.

agreed...and a casing like it has would be cracked and melted in more than one place...especially if its like our phones with the cpu in the top

Lol, they'll do everything to ruin the launch of this phone. Sad.

I wonder if they were playing Draw Something. It will cause the phone to stay on and it to run hot. My phone got extremely hot one time doing this. I didn't notice it for a while because I was walking around. I sat down and the phone got pushed up against my leg.. That's when I noticed. Combine that with an over clocked/volted cpu and you have a fire waiting to happen.
I would like to know if his phone has been overclocked first off..

No need to apologize, my post came off wrong. I wasn't calling you out for a duplicate thread, I don't think there was one -- it was an off-topic discussion we were having in another thread. I just didn't want to go straight from that post to this one posting the same thing.
And yeah, that would suck. I'd rather have it happen to my face than have it go off in my pocket and burn my junk though...

Seriously though.. a bad lithium battery could cause that.

The battery is nowhere near that section of the phone.
Totally staged.
If you look at the iFixit tear down, there is nothing in that area of the phone to get hot and catch on fire.
I have highlighted the area in question from the tear down pics.
It's just PCB board with no components in that area.

Galaxy S4 GTi9505 Great!!!! But NOT too impressed about the design/material

So its been about 2 days so far and the phone is awesome....BUT....not too impressed on the plastic material design.
Should I be too worried when theres like a heat wave with temps around 100 deg F???
Will the phone "warp" or "bend" or will the plastic melt a little?
Ok ok ok....of course, I will not leave it in the car during a heat wave...Of course I will not do that. But what if I walk around with the phone in my pocket. Will the phone warp or bend a bit during those kinds of temperatures?
Battery life is awesome!!!! Well, because I disabled Wifi, NFC, and all pretty much everything including GPS and for about 2 days now, battery level is still around 70%
But, I really dont like the material and I dont know how will this be impacted during a heat wave.
Whats your take on this to all?
Thx

The OP is asking a serious question.
Mine turned into ice cream in my pocket on a hot day. Had to throw my pants out. Phone was never seen again.
But seriously, no it won't melt or warp at those temperatures. Do plastics in your cart melt or warp on a hot day? Most likely not.

Just afraid that the screen or the phone would warp or bend.
Like I said, of course, I will NOT leave it inside a car during a hot day....But, I would like to carry it with me in my pocket.

I'm pretty sure your phone will be fine, unless there's something you're not telling us. You don't by any chance live inside an active volcano, do you?

Every day for last 1 month was hot day here in India before the recent rains that cooled things down couple of days ago.
36-38°C was daily normal high. Did nothing to my 2 SGS4s.
It takes way higher than 100°F to melt or even soften the polycarbonate. My sister has spilled a piping hot coffee on SGS3 back which used similar material without any damage.
So no, 100F is nothing for these phones.
You will always have horror stories of people magically breaking their phones by doing nothing. Those few are there for every device. I have seen them in SGS3 forums, Note forums, HTC One forums and so on.
Those are not the norm. These phones are not the toys made to be used in nice temperate climate only.

THANKS !!!!!! For the quick help on this.
Makes me feel better now.

Don't worry, samsung qc usually already test usage in extreme temperature (-20 ~ 50 celcius). Even there is user youtube video for this test on s3.

Hi all...
Could you check one thing for me pls?
Put your OP6 on a hard surface like a study table(mine is made of wood) and charge it. Take off any case etc. Also without any shoes or slippers etc.
Then run your fingers along the sides i.e. along the metal frame while it's charging.
Do you feel like a hint of current/electricity on your fingers?
I feel like the minutest of minute vibration while running my fingers.
But only when it's on a hard surface.
When I hold it in my hands, I don't feel anything.
Please kindly do this test and tell me.
Thank you.

Not at all.

Same happens on my OP3, but it stopped after few months randomly. I think you shouldn't get the replacament unit, or at least i didn't because i don't live in a country that oneplus is officially selling devices, if you do and it's not much pida, go ahead, but you might get the same resultl lol

Basically
I just wanna know if this extra current can affect my OP6 or not?
Like battery life or circuits in the mother board etc...
Cheers

I got it replaced and it's working fine now...
