HI, is the ROM memory saved from strong magnets such as the ones used for holding the phone on the car, or strong cases?
Hi ,
I have used my phone with the magnets in the car as well as magnetic case .
Such small magnets have no effect on the smartphones we have.
You would need a very strong magnet ( more like electromagnet ) to cause a problem with the Phone's internals like ROM And Memory storage

just bought a leather casing with a magnetic flap for my atom life, but am wondering if the magnetic fields from the flap would cause any harm to my ppc. anyone can enlighten me on this issue? thanks to all!
The Athena/Ameo keyboard attaches via strong magnets, which do no harm to it at all. So go ahead and use your new case!
alright cool thanks!
and Athena even use magnetic storage
where others use flash which dont respond to magetism
hmm wad about the lcd screen and ICs in it? does magnetism affect them?
no you will be fine.
This may be a stupid question but do cases with magnetic closures mess up the GPS of a nexus one in anyway? I remember reading something to that effect with the G1 a few years ago but am unsure if it's true or not.
It shouldn't affect the GPS itself... It will (obviously) affect the compass though, so perhaps the orientation may be misreported. GPS works on satellite signals, not geomagnetic forces.
Thanks for the answer.
it might effect the camera, i do not have a case for my Nexus (use holster) but I had a case with a magnet clasp on the cover that effected the camera on my Nokia N97, but with the fone in a case how are you going to use the GPS ?

Good point. I didn't think of that. The camera in the nexus one, as in most modern phones, uses a piezo ceramic motor for its autofocus mechanism. While not exactly working in a similar manner to standard electromagnetic motors, they are still influenced by the magnetic field. That said, you're not going to use the GPS or camera while the phone is in the holster, and the effects should be limited to that situation.
Oh, and if it's any comfort, I work with fMRI using moderately high field strength (3T). I have walked in the room with my phone before, and even though it is tugging to the scanner in my pocket, it still works completely fine today. A typical pocket magnet is 2-4 orders of magnitude weaker (1/100 - 1/10000 the strength). It will not damage anything in the phone permanently. Either that, or I have been extremely lucky.
Thanks for the answers. I ended up going with this Seidio Innocase Case and I couldn't be happier. No magnets to ruin your phone in this case
magnets can also screw with the capacitive touch screen.
Search for my post where I made a desk and a car mount using super strong hard drive magnets. I've been using it all day every day, no effects on anything except the compass when attach to the mount. Screen, touchscreen, camera, gps, totally unaffected. Compass still works fine when not mounted.
Might be my lack of sleep thinking this is feasible, but hey, i'm curious. Say I were to tape/glue/something 2 or 3 penny thin rare earth magnets to the rubber portion of the otter box, so between the soft and hard shells of the case. Then phone is capable of sticking to metal objects such as working under car etc. Easy.
My question is, will this interfere with the phone in anyway? Compass? Storage? Display? Destroy it beyond belief?
Hello all
I've heard that magnetic fields and magnets damage tablets is it true?
if i buy those kind of bags specially the ones which have magnet inside them , will that damage the tablet ?
Thanks in advance

the only thing i have experienced is that the magnet disturbs the SPen input. For example, when the case was lying under the tablet i was able to locate the magnet with the spen because the lines were not straight when the magnet was lying under them.
Just wondering if anybody has noticed any metal particles stuck the the magnetic charging port on the phone?
I am considering picking up this phone, I work around metals and they get stuck to microphones, speakers, anything with a magnetic field I suppose.
if you work around metal , and have something magnetic , yes it will be easy to attract other metal object. but again this is a special case.

I had Z1 for a year and Z3 now for a 3+ months and I never had any metal things on my magnetic port.
In fact, this on phone is not magnetic, it's regular metal, and the charging dock holds the magnet which connects to this metal.
