Electrocuted by the lumia while charging from PC

I have my phone connected via USB (standard cable that came with it) and when I touch the metal around the camera I get shocked. It's not really painful but it's very noticable and makes me want to immediately pull away my hand. I'm familiar with electricity and I recognize it clearly.
This only happens from time to time though. When it does it can happen for maybe 5 minutes. I haven't really noticed anything special that I do when it occurs but I think it happens around the time I plug it in.
Anyone else got this issue? I'm a bit worried that the phone might be damaged or become damaged because of this?

Hi all,
Please verify that the computer is connected to a grounded socket. What is described sounds like a grounding problem with the computer where the discharge happens through you when you come in contact with metal/conducting parts. 
Other reasons could be:
you have audio/video equipment connected to the computer which come with a grounded power plug; it could be that by grounding both the computer and the audio/video equipment you create a groundloop or differential in the grounding connection.
On your audio/video equipment there is a connection to an antenna system or aerial which creates a differential on the shielding where the same may occur.
In any case when connecting anything but  a non powered speakerset to the computer use a groundloop isolator.
Hope this helped,
Kosh

    What is wrong with it?

    For your purposes?  Probably nothing.
    If you want Apple to service the device under warranty, it has to be done at an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

    This is how you contact Apple to find out what to do.

  • Does anyone have problems with the lightening to USB cable when charging from an outlet? After 6  months of use, it seems to wear out as a result of twisting caused by using the iPad while charging?

    Does anyone else have problems with the lightening to USB cables, particularly the longer version, when using the iPad and charging at the same time?
    If so, am I doing anything wrong?

    Not using any mouse pad, I have a very smooth desktop. But I just tried to use a sheet of A4 printing paper, but no result, the problem persisted.
    Someone on this forum suggested, that USB3 may interfere with the magic mouse.
    I have 2 LaCie HDD's about 70 cm away from the mouse, I use them on Thunderbolt. But in operation or not - the result is the same, the mouse plays up! Just now I was clicking the desktop and the mouse created a new folder!!
    Thanks for the advice, Bee

  • Is it possible to play the iPod while charging it?

    Is it possible? I am a dj and I use my iPod as a music source, but I need it to play for at least 4 hours.
    Is it possible to use a power adapter to charge, and still be able to play music while charging?
    If so, which accessories would be needed?
    Thanks!

    Yes, I do this all the time.
    You need a USB power adapter that connects an AC outlet to your USB cable and then to your iPod.
    You can get one from Apple here:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB352LL/B?fnode=MTY1NDA4NA&mco=MTY1OTg1Nw
    Or get one from other manufacturers (I have one from Griffin, my wife has one from DLO). Check the prices.

  • Does it harm the battery if we use the laptop while charging?

    If we use while charging, is the power required directly taken from the external supply or from the battery itself. Which is the safest way to use the laptop without drawing power from the battery?

    No harm is done. There is enough power from the adapter to run the laptop and charge the battery. There is hardware and software in place which prevents any problems. The laptop will not take power from the battery while the AC adapter is plugged in.

    i got a new ipod touch 4 today.when i use it while charging i am feeling a small current flow through the back cover.some body please help me out..........is it normal or something wrong with the ipod?

    How are you charging it? Some people with iPads have experienced the same problem. It seems to be a problem with the wall charger. See:

  • I can feel the earth on the body of the mbp while charging, is it safe ?

    i feel a kind of low electric charge on the body of the mbp, while its connected to the charger, and mostly all time its connected.
    i googled and found the reason that, its because the pin of the charger is 2 pin and it doesnt have the earth pin in it . tht current isnt dangerous i think , as it feels good to rub on the surface.
    But my question is , is it safe for the mbp. ?
    i am afraid , tht it may affect the internal parts, something like that.
    Pls advice me.

    I feel the same in my iphone4. While charging through electricity i can feel the charge in the headphone slot.
    For ex- when i am charging my phone and talking at the same time my ear is in contact with the headphone slot which is on the upper part of the iphone. And i can feel the charge in my ear. Charge is low.
    Plz lemme knw if its fine or do i need to visit the service center.

  • Dynamically filter the values while navigating from Rep1 to Rept2(Answers)

    Answers Report:
    Users want to Navigate from Report1 to Report2 and they want to control the parameters while they are passsing to Report2 like by filtering the prompt Values.IS prompted works fine but users want to filter the report2 by answers prompt before navigating to report 2.
    When i navigate from Report 1 to Report 2 its directly going to Report 2 by passing the parameters,but users want the Prompt before they go to report 2 to filter the selections.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi,
    Apart from Page section of the Pivot table, we can use the Report Navigations.
    1.First Create an answers request(Report 2) and in that create Column Filter Prompt(by involving all the required columns).Save the report.
    2.Place the report in either one page of a shared dashboards(except My Dashboard) or in a new dashboard .If there are any other pages in the dashboard.Please go to the Page Options -> MyDashboard [Dashboard Properties] and Hide the Dashboard.
    3.Go to the Report 1.Choose a coumn on which the User wants to drill down(or navigate from). Go to the Properties ->Column Format -> Value Interaction -> Navigate -> Browse -> Dashboards(Select the Dashboard Page in which you have placed the Report 2)
    This can be a possible solution.
    Regards..

  • Can you use the iPad while charging

    Are you able to use your iPad 2 while it is being charged

    yep.
    now if you're trying to charge off the USB of a computer, it'll say 'not charging' even though it does - just slowly enough to say 'not charging'. And there may not be much charging as you use it. Your only limit is the distance of your plugin from where you want to be.

  • Lumia 925: charging from MacBook

    Hi Folks,
    Hoping someone might have a clue as to what's going on with my phone.  I bought it a few months ago and since then I have had no problems at all connecting it to my MacBook Pro, but since last week it just won't connect; the Windows Phone app just doesn't find it.  OK, I rebooted the phone and my Mac, no difference. Re-installed Windows Phone app, still no difference.    
    I couldn't be bothered fighting with it as I can upload the photos to SkyDrive, and am not that bothered about music, but now it has decided that it won't even charge when plugged in to the Mac.  It makes the 'charging' noise for a few seconds then stops.  I've tried different cables, different USB ports to no avaii.  
    It charges ok from a plug, but only works 1 in 3 times with the charger plate despite making sure the connectors are in the right place, and sometimes if I get it to charge it just stops for no reason.  This morning it appeared to have charged but when I lifted the phone off the plate it was down at the 'critically low' battery stage.  
    I've taken it to the O2 shop and they said they can send it away but there are no reports of similar problems to make them think it's a quality issue, so I don't get a replacement phone when it goes away.  
    Has anyone had, or heard of this issue or a similar one?  If so, is there an easy fix?  
    One last thing - it randomly launches apps, all on its own.  Like it can just be sitting there and all of a sudden the voice recognition will run, or the camera.  Is that normal?  I really want to love this phone but it's doing my head in!
    Thanks in advance for any pearls of wisdom.  
    Suzy.

    If you are contemplating returning device, it might be worthwhile "resetting it" and then install SysApp Pusher to make sure that everything is up to date:http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/sysapp​-pusher/19d44d9e-f18e-4df1-9bce-36335242ed2e

  • Missing the Personalizations while uploading from 11i to R12

    Hi,
    I am working on the Upgrade project . We are upgrading the Oracle applications from 11.5.10.2 to 12.1.2 . So i am uploading the all personalizations from 11i to R12.
    I created the ldt file from 11i and and tried to upload in R12. But some of the functions are missed in R12 so the Count is not matched as per the 11i personalizations. I checked in the meta link and they suggested the patch p9446215_R12.FND.B_R12_GENERIC.Zip for R12.
    So i tried with latest lct file which is provided with patch also i am missing some data after uploading in the R12. when i check the log file after uploading the data, it is throwing some error. I am mentioning the error below.
    I tried to Upload form level as well as Function level. In both ways count of personalizations are not matched.
