No im not serious. Most of the time its a new email notification and all that jazz. I like texting though
Leg Hurts
Man am I glad someone else is having this problem. My leg feels like raw meat even if I don't have the phone close to it. I am thinking of going to the dr's to have an MRI done or something to diagnos what is happening. There is an absolute difference in this vs any other phone I have ever owned.

Not to be rude... but this made me laugh... you might have other problems if your paranoid about "radiation from your phone".
But I have experienced the phantom vibration in my leg. But thats not that weird.

same problem
have been getting around 20 phantom vibrations in my leg per day for last 3-4 weeks now. even when not carrying iphone at the time, which I've had for about 16mnths. I've even seen the muscles twitch when it happens.. exactly where my pocket is. Glad I found this place saying other experiencing too cos was freakin me out. tell friends they just laugh say i'm a nutter.

leg pain
I have had my iPhone for 3gs for about a year now and I have had leg, tingling and twitching numerous times. Last night, I had the phone in my pocket for about an hour and my leg starting hurting like it was burning. I thought I might have scratched myself or something and upon visual inspection I was surprised that my skin showed no visible signs of irritation, although when I press on the spot where my phone was it feels like it's really chapped or sunburned or kinda like tender after a spanking. This pain did not go away. I still have this pain today except now I have the same type of pain in a new spot ON THE OPPOSITE side of my leg through the bone. Its a smaller spot, but its the same pain with no visible signs. My leg is about 20" in circumference at these spots. I don't have insurance, but I think I'm going to have to see a doctor.
I'm only posting this so others don't think it's some sort of hoax or joke. This is possibly a real danger to your health. It seems that a lot of these forums have jokesters that just want to make fun of the situation and not take it seriously. I have read that it would take a very high level of radiation to actually have physical symptoms. The source has been isolated, there aren't any variables. I'M TELLING YOU THE TRUTH - IT'S MY IPHONE!

quit using your phone or other electronic devices and you will be just fine.
Many people are more sensitive to radio frequencies and electrical frequencies than other people, which it appears that you are. in my 18 years of cell phone usage, I have never had any "radiation issues" that you say you have experienced.
I had and MRI a few years ago for a vision problem and nothing showed, so no cancer or tumors from cell phone usage.
Radiation
Time to keep this thread open - please post if you have had similar issues. Also please provide info as to where you read any studies . I suspect I have had a similar experience with my iPad and would like to hear more from others. Please don't dismiss people's concerns. They used to say smoking was good for you too. I love my Macs, ESP my iPad. But I want to be sure it's safe.

Just because the US government allows something does not mean it is safe. US has lots of things that are banished in Europe.
I do not know why the leg hurts.
I do not know if heavy cell phone use causes cancer.
I only know that I can feel WARM using all cell phones. THe really cheap ones with (Might have) higher SAR (?) give me headaches. (calling for roadside assistance)
I had a good experience with very limited use of the I pad. I borrowed the very old first version of I pad to read some kid books, play the jello drawing game, Puss N Boots kids games. I did not feel "warm" then. So, I thought I could attempt to be like "normal" people. I WANT to be like "normal" people. I purchased a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 on deep discount with ATT Data plan to stream music. I can FEEL it warm on the screen. Apps on or off. Safe mode (? not sure). I don't know if this causes cancer or not. Even if scientists come back saying "yes, it causes cancer." I would never say "I told you so." I am only saying I feel WARM from ALL cell phones. (I have borrowed an I phone to make a few important roadside calls.) Yes, I agree with the advice is to avoid devices that make you feel uncomfortable. This is my choice. I guess I will have to accept the fact that I might be different from other people. I read a little bit about this subject. Perhaps, because I am more impulsive, like a teenager in my brain, perhaps, my brain carries more water?
I read the WHO website about cell phones and electromagnetic energy. It is actually very reassuring. Everything plugged into an electric socket in the home has an electromagnetic field. Why don't I "feel" the refrigerator? Why do I only feel the cell phones? (and now, the Samsung Galaxy note 8.0 tablet.)
I want to hear from other people. Any where. ANy cell phone. Does anyone else ever feel WARM????? ??? Am I the only one? I have never felt warm on my leg before. Now, with the Samsung tablet, I feel warm on my leg when streaming audio. I own a basic Verizon Samsung Gusto for emergencies only. It has a SAR of 0.37 I believe. (Slow as molasses by the way). I use land lines. I even put the tablet in a thck metal art purse box made from old car license plates. I tried facing the screen towards my body. The lid is open to recieve signal.
I guess I will have to return it to ATT without activating the Data account.
Many other people do not seem to feel warm at all. Perhaps, I am more sensitive than other people? PLEASE I would just love to know if ANY people out there ever feel warm? I have a friend or two who do get headaches from extensive long term cell phone use. They limit the legnth of phone calls.
THank you!

This is a thread that started in 2008 and didn't get any valid responses other than the OP, so I think the evidence (to the extent we can gather it) is in, and the answer is "it's probably psychosomatic" or "all devices get a little warm while they are being used this is perfectly normal."
