Grounding Issue

[Pope]

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 :o
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...

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.
