No cell phone use in cars - EVO 4G General

i just saw where they passed a law against cell phone use whether it be hand held or hands free in chapel hill n.c.while driving.... didn't think that with all the money cell companies are making they would ever let this get going...once it starts anywhere it usually spreds....i'm not wanting to get into a debate about cell phone usage danger and trust me i have seen it a lot being on the road with my job...but it looks like a lot of confusion coming with having to find places to pull of the road especially in the country road areas to handle a business deal or a personal call..just my 2 cents worth.

We've had that law in California for a while now.

NY Passed a no hand held devices like 12 yrs ago. I really can't see how they can stop you from using a hands free device. For one thing, how can anyone even SEE a an ear piece while your driving? They gonna ban all talking while driving next?

Some states allow you to use a hands free device as long as its already built into the vehicle.

A cell phone is just as dangerous/distracting as makeup,shaving, radio, or other people, pets in the car.
Just my 2 cents,
Michigan outlawed texting. But not phones or other phone activities.

I agree I usually just answer calls not txt since I keep my phone where I can reach it at all times with out taking eyes off the road, yesterday I passed someone with both arms on top of the steering wheel texting while going 80mph

it is coming brother... the Feds are mandating that ALL states pass some sort of hand held device law or risk losing federal funding for road repairs/upkeep. I gotta say anyone that argues this is a damn idiot. I commute 80 miles to work and have been damn near run off the road about once a week because some jack ass is talking on the phone or texting. I also am a motorcycle rider. If you drift into my lane, you are getting steel ballbearings into you windshield!

Yeah, I'm not sure how they would enforce this either. More and more cars nowadays have integrated bluetooth audio, or one can add aftermarket devices to do this. I guess they can catch people texting while driving (which I agree, is a crazy thing to do anyways).

I think texting is the worst. I'm a teenager and I have tried to text and drive but I don't do it anymore because of how difficult it is.
But other teens gladly take that risk

well i was sorta jacked around yesterday, ill be a bit happier if and when i get my phone today. it's just all the mis info i was given that set me off. nobody seems to be on the same page with sprint. this was more of a rant video than anything. didn't expect it would piss off soo many sprint fans. oh well, life goes on. it's pretty common knowledge sprint has horrid customer service skills. i honestly had no idea the store i went to was a 3rd party because they only sell sprint phones and i was told before they are officially sprint, not some 3rd party rip off.
some really immature responses on the video, i expected better from adults. i have every reason to vent like most of you do.

This service does seem bad, but why was it necessary to have the phone in 1 day? If you order it online it usually takes at least 2 days, probably more. Plus you already have your old phone, so what was the urgency?

My phone is seated on the car air vent, also doing anything on your phone while the car is in motion is pretty dumb, if I must make a phone call I wait for a red light , or use Google voice action do dial.
I keep mine in a windshield mounted dock. That makes glancing between the phone and the road really quick. Even then I still won't mess with it unless I'm stopped or on a straight section of road with no traffic.

Stupid, stupid internet/signal blockers!!!

Well at my high school we got a new principal, and frankly he hates the texting, and the web browsing, and the in-class calls to home, so he set up cellphone signal blockers, and internet blockers, which is very annoying! Does anyone know anyways to get around these, or cancel them out? If not i will just take it upon myself to destroy them!
Maybe you should utilize your time in school learning...
I thought that phone jamming was illegal in the US. Something about property theft.... Maybe you could get him arrested!

No getting around it. High schools where I live are blocked inside and outside to a certain spot. The court house blocks internet in court room area you can only make phone calls but the rest of building is edge network. Walk out building 5 feet full 3g service. Something with homeland security.

OP..
I don't know where you're from. But, if you're in the US, signal blocking is highly illeagal. However, you should not waste the teacher's time playing with your phone...
thats disappointing to hear...
You get around it by calling the FCC. Unless he has a license to broadcast on those frequencies, he'll be in for a nasty surprise. If you have evidence that he's using them, contact your local FCC office and tell them what he's up to.
Alternatively, fake a heart attack and wait for someone to try and call 911. When the school hears how you died because someone couldn't call 911, the principle better be prepared for jail time.

hahaha nice alternative man
But seriously, in USA and Canada, signal blocking is completely illegal, whatever the use is. Complain to the local authorities and get it taken off.
School is important though, listen to the important classes and stuff...I do text in random French and programming classes though
it wont be hard to get evidence, because of the fact that he had an assembly and was bragging about it to the whole school... ugh, ignorant people...
I dont know how big/small your school is, but to cover an average size school you would need one powerful jammer or multiple jammers to canvas the school in that evil death signal.
Look for an antenna/s and snap a picture of the device if you can.
But it is 100% illegal, I remember for a time movie theaters wanted to install these but of course that never happened. if you are 100% sure you can call the FCC

Are you certain that he is using an active signal jammer, and not that he had the classrooms painted and installed EM blocking screening material in the windows?
Active is illegal. I provided the link above.
Passive blocking through materials that naturally attenuate signal is not.

Lol well I suppose I'll drop a little truth in here...
My stepmother used to be a flight attendant. The REAL reason why they ask you to turn off electronic devices is so that all the passengers are not distracted during take off or landing should something happen that would require the flight crews attention.
It actually makes a lot of sense. If no one is talking on the phone or listening to music, then a passenger could spot something, like smoke coming out of a turbine or such.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
While squshy has it partially right, there are real electronics issues as well. I work with aircraft certified electronics and have talked with the engineers that do the actual certification. The FAA would like you to believe your device could bring down the aircraft if you don't turn it off, and while it's theoretically possible, it's totally improbable.
The real reason is your device could have a design that unintentionally spews EMI, which could interfere with communications or radar and lead to a collision if airtraffic control cannot communicate with the pilots. Radios by their very nature cannot be shielded from interference like the local avionics can.
Certified for flight devices have to go through thousands of hours of very expensive tests for every version of hardware to ensure they do not emit any EMI in the range that would affect avionics or communications. There is simply no way to know if your device will emit harmful EMI even in airplane mode. I know it sucks, but just turn it off or end up like Alec Baldwin.

Dwyw42 pretty much said it all. I fly every week to get to work and back and it is a hassle to obey the 10,000 laws. They even stress that "airplane mode" is not acceptable.... shut it down!!
How much compliance is there with that? What a joke! Think of all the kindle's, laptops, ipads etc that are is standby/screen off mode. How about watches? Electronic Razors? Electronic Toothbrushes? What is the interference caused when operating a Norelco model 2459S and a Samsung S3 in Direct Conect mode? No one knows and the permutations and combinations of so many different devices is why it's just easier to shut them down. It would be impossible to test/approve each device.
That said. When I get to work, and while working I frequently have a kindle, laptop, nook and phone that are not fully powered off.... and I'm a pilot! And to make you feel comfortable, I will also say that I try to not text and drive!

Interesting, so much attitude about "stupid laws" crying why can't I use my electronic devices, well, as a serious radio enthusiast (CB, ham radio, scanning, anything to do with radio) I know a hell of a lot about radio and what electronics can do to disrupt radio receivers. Think about this before saying anything more about how stupid the law is about using electronic equipment on an airplane, a lot of the radio equipment on a flight, especialy long haul international flights rely heavily on HF RADIO, as a hammy, I can tell you that HF RADIO is the worst radio system to pick up radio interference from electronic devices. This interference is caused by spurious harmonics, NOT ALL electronic equipment is clean, it ALL emits some kind of signal and HF RADIO will pick it up, so think of this, an aircraft is being called by ground control half way across the Atlantic, and you got that crappy Chinese made hand held device putting out 60db of spurious harmonics across the entire HF BAND the pilot of the plane your on can't here that another plane is headed right for yours. Well you get the idea.
