Heyz,
While charging my HTC HD, I answered an incoming call. It was then an electric shock strucked me on my ear when the speakers touch my ears.
Does anyone else experienced this? or is my set faulty??

Haven't experienced this sounds like you may have a faulty device or you have a lot of static electricity built up in ya!!

Static. If it was dodgy, then it wouldn't be a single shock but a constant tickle on your ear. You had grounded the phone with the charging cable.

I got my diamond replaced several times for this reason.
I found the prolem was a metal casing and no earth!
To replicate the problem, plug in the phone and hold it to your ear by the plastic of the charger cable making sure your only contact with the conductive part of the phone is your ear.
The phone will ground itself through you and you will hear a buzz and feel a tingle.
It is not really dangerous and will not cause any damage, however, it is really annoying!
I haven't yet experienced this problem with the HD, but that said I haven't spoken into it whilst it's been charging yet (The HD's battery is way better than the Diamond's).
I had the same problem with my Vario III. Put it down to static
I guess some people has more static than others.. I beg someone will not call whenever i'm charging my HD...
This has nothing to do with the casing of hd.It's simply static mate and it's not dangerous.Yes i agree it's anoying though.
I had 2 issues not with my hd though.The one i was trying to pick up the sugar from the table and as i had touched the vase it hit me and it sparked out on me.
Couple more minutes after i tried to open my ps3 to play some resident evil 5 and it hit me again.
I am sure i build up a lot of static.

Does it happen with any other devices you connect to that same plug ?
Another typical hint prior to touching an electronical device, i.e. usually when you work with its insides, is to touch a properly grounded object in your room, e.g. the heating.
Furthermore, I guess a proper case would reduce the risk of being electrocuted, the silicon one seems to be ideal IMO but I'm not an expert in such matters (anyone here please ?). I use the PDAir alu case, which has some neopren inside the case...
Finally, if this does not get any better to you, the idea would be to configure a profile with one of the profile tools which upon connection to a plug would automatically turn off the phone function so that nobody would be able to call you while your phone was plugged. I understand though that this would significantly reduce the usability of your phone...

If you put two devices on to charge (XDA or XDAII) and whilst holding one, touch the other with the back of your hand, you get an electric shock!
Also I've just started playing around with an FM transmitter in my car and if the XDAII is charging I get stupid amounts of noise which makes the music almost unbearable to listen to... if I unplug the XDAII charger the noise instantly goes and the music is crystal clear... anyone else experienced anything like this or have any suggestions of a fix?!?
I have a Brodit car cradle for my XDA2 which has a built in charger connected to the cigarette lighter in my car. I don't have any background noise or static / interference when it's charging. Only the occasional search n scan noise as I change cells to different cell sites.
Might be an issue with your particular unit, though I didn't have my 1 together with the 2 long enough to test the charging thing you experience. Have you tried interchanging your 1 and 2 for someone else's unit (if you know someone who has)?
Cheers

Yeah... I work for a company who develops software for XDAs for the courier market so we have loads of them lying around... the charging shock thing happens with all every XDA I and II i've tried... no idea about IIs since we aren't using those yet...
The noise in the car could be from the charging unit I guess, which is one of the reasons i decided to stick a post on here to see if anyone else had experienced it! :roll:

This happened to me with my baby walkie tolkie (that device that you can use when the baby is sleeping to hear sounds from another room).
I got a grrrrrrr, sometimes yes and sometimes not.
Only after a while I understood that the fault was of the standard XDAII transformer, when my qtek was charging. So I stopped to charge my qtek when my newborn is sleeping
I suppose there is a problem of electromagnetic compatibility with the standard charger. I will have a look at which EN regulations it should comply with, just for my curiosity...
just curious u might wanna try summat like http://www.sexualshockfantasies.com
Yep. Also got a tingling sensation when I picked up a call with the charger connected and on! Had just come out of the bathroom bare-footed on porcelain floor.

as the title suggests, last night as i went to sleep i noticed my pnone lit up so i checked to see what happened and I've seen the headphones icon on..
This is very weird, as i havent used the headphones for a while, but most of all it is a BIG problem, since i cannot hear the ringtones or phone calls unless i plug headphones in..
Anybody has a solution or a workaround?
btw when i plug the headphones in, the voice speed dial page comes on... is this weird or not?????
Sounds like it could be the headphone jack itself that is faulty, I guess the first thing to try would be a hard reset and see if that helps. Otherwise trying to brush any kind of debris out of the port with a cotton bud may be a solution.
i thought it would be some dirt there as well, but how can just dirt enable the speakers?? shouldnt it be some kind of metal or water that it would cause the power to pass through? anyway i did try cleaning in with no results...
The headset jack acts as a switch, When the headset is plugged in, the sound is routed to the headset. The icon indicates that the phone sees the headset as inserted even when it is not. From a repair standpoint, I see this caused by an open short (broken solder joint or moisture) or even the head of the 3.5 pin broken off the end of the headset and still in the jack among other things.
Dirt would not cause the short. Double check the 3.5 pin itself as the start point.
Unfortunately, I think it will most likely be a hardware issue.
For what it is worth, the fact that the voice speed dial activates is not a surprise.
thanks guys for the answers...
the problem has been solved by itself... I am guessing it was just some moisture gathered there... humidity is intense where i live and i will be not surprised if it was that... so far is been ok... It was rather funny that the problem was triggered exactly at midnight, so I thought it could have been a virus...
anw take care
I had this issue in other devices and was able to cure it by inserting and removing the jack very quickly about 10x in succession.
Hey guys!
My HTC HD2 is showing some strange behaviour lately. When I go cycling and turn on some music with the music tab (earpieces plugged in (creative ep-830)), it starts switching songs and even switching in to like 1.30 of a different song all of a sudden. Plus it starts calling people all of a sudden. It could be my pocket, which could be thight but I'm afraid not. When I go jogging I'm wearing wide training pants which give absolutely NO pressure on the phone but still it starts calling people and switching songs or in between songs. Could this be because of the accelerometer or something?
I hope somebody recognizes this problem and is able to assist me.
Thanks in advance!
Any help guys?
Come on, surely someone must know a solution?
I don't know a solution, but I've had the problem and found the following helps.
face the screen away from your body. it seems that body heat can activate the screen. I find that in a suit jacket having the screen facing towards me can cause the problems you indicate.

Hmm, I'll try this out, but also I've had it in a bag once like this: http://www.essaco.com/images/product/images/11576.jpg , but it showed the same behaviour. I'll try your solution because I indeed always have the screen facing towards my body.
Thanks for your help! I'll report the results soon!
Im also having this situation.. Very annoying, the HD2 just calls people. It's a bit expensive for me now, as it happens really often.
I just got it last week, and now it does it often.. :S
its not the screen guys, its your headphones. the remote-control connectors in the plug input is receiving some signals it shouldn't. try wearing a different set of headphones and see if the problem is still there.
I had also same problem on one of Energy ROMS. Strange thing was that it occured ony when my headphones where connected.
Once when i changed them into HTC ones and installed never energy rom problem dissapeared

Only seen with some headphone plugs and not all. If you make sure they are well fitted in, and clean the contacts as well as you can, you should be able to make them work (happened to me once with a pair which wasn't used for long - oxidated contacts - and a car radio cassette adapter's plug which wasn't fitted all the way in). If you can't you just need to try another couple of headphones.
by the way, this also happens when the headphones are inserted or disconnected from the device... would be nice with a fix to disabke the remote control input completely!
So I got the HTC Wildfire S and there is a little problem that I am facing. The headphones that came with it do not completely go inside the headphones port. I have tried others, thinking that it might be the problem with the headphones, but still no success. I have to keep the headphones a little bit "outside" to connect but the phone doesn't show the mic icon meaning that the mic isn't connected but the headphones are. But when I put it in my pocket it moves and it again disconnects. What could be the problem? Please help! Thanking you all in advance!

Are you sure they won't go all the way in with a little more force? Compared to iDevices most phones, especially HTC and Samsung, need more force to insert the connector. Which can be good if you drop your phone but hold the cable

Yes I am sure. They won't go all the way in. Tried many times with full strength but I was also afraid of causing some kind of damage. So yea, no luck till now. Seems like the headphone jack is a bit small.
Possibly a damaged headphones plug, you can replace it or try a repair.
Is it new? If so I'd get it exchanged. Sound like the port is faulty. Could just be one of the little tabs inside bent over but if you can, swap it
I discovered this tonight while at the gym. I was leaning over on some equipment with the phone in my pocket and every time pressure was applied to the phone my Bluetooth audio would cut out and distort until pressure was released. I didn't test it much to see if somehow the piece of equipment was blocking the signal, but I think that's extremely unlikely. I did quick search and found a similar post on reddit about it.
https://m.reddit.com/r/AndroidQuestions/comments/3w0ds6/nexus_6pnexus_5_bluetooth_audio_cutting_out_when/
I am using a pretty solid case so I think the pressure is being applied to the screen. I use the supcase unicorn beetle hybrid case.
It seems like there is a new problem popping up with this phone fairly often. It makes me wonder how much testing Huawei performed on this phone.
Regardless, I'm sorry to hear of your issue. It's kinda odd and I wonder what's causing it?
3D Touch for mute?
I don't have bluetooth headphones but I use an A2DP adapter in my car that is hidden under the dash. It sits about 3 feet from the phone when it is in the dock, and is "obstructed" by plastic molding, mostly. I'll try applying some light pressure to see if I have the same issue.

Have you browsed any of the other phone forums or subreddits? You'll see the same thing.
The only logical thing I can think of is that everything is packed to tightly within the phone that applying pressure in a certain area creates a short. There might be something metal touching something to short it out for a moment. What else is strange is that my Bluetooth headphones didn't lose connection, it was only the sound, but I should also add that it was only for a brief moment that pressure was applied... Probably not even 2 seconds. Maybe it would need to be longer before the connection is dropped or it really is just the sound being effected.
