lg plasma interference from blackberry.

[buffy]

Last november my lg 50 lost picture and sound and most of the icons in the menu bar i discussed it on the forum with several suggestions of the cause, in the end i took it to my dealer who managed to fix it with the engineers remote, but could not explain what had caused it,
I have recently noticed evertime my daughter recieves a text message or sends one it interferes with the tv, if its within a couple of feet of it the picture and sound breaks up, Question, can the interference from a cell phone damage a tv or has anyone had a similar problem

Re: lg plasma interference from blackberry.

I've noticed that cell phones using GSM interfere a lot with audio products. While I've never had picture break up I have had buzzing and beeping noise when my phone is withing a few feet of a speaker. This happens in my car as well, if I have weak signal strength the phone will interfere with my car stereo. I have only had the happen with GSM phones and not with a CDMA based one.

my blackberry curve did it, so did my friends and my current Galaxy S Captivate also does it.

Re: lg plasma interference from blackberry.

All GSM phones interfere with nearby electronics, causing the tell-tale buzzing noises and occasionally video interference as well. Altho, i haven't heard of a phone corrupting the EEPROM of a device (which is apparently what happened in your case).

Sounds like bad RFI shielding in the TV, or a ground loop in its mainboard. Design flaw. Guess nobody was busy texting on their phone when they prototyped it.

I have a galaxy which seems to have no affect, just seems to be the blackberry but to be safe iwill be keeping both away from the tv

Re: lg plasma interference from blackberry.

yes could be rfi shielding on this model. have just noticed if phone is near any other tv in the house theres no affect just the lg 3000 ps i have another lg 50 which is a different model this is also unaffected.
