Lol, just dont touch the ground or wall...that is normal.

no, not normal. Is this happening when you have the N900 pluggled into a regular AC current outlet?

In that case it should not happen...but when its plugged to computer USB it is perfectly normal...(if you touch the ground of course)

The thread "WTF I feel SHOCK!! sometimes while touching my N900 when its connected to USB" (6 posts) has been merged into this thread.

no, that is not normal. That would mean that any usb accessory like a camera or mp3 player should shock you too when you use usb. Thats ridiculous. I have had my n900 plugged into my laptop sitting on the carpet floor of my home and no issues ever. The laptop plug and laptop should be sufficient grounded to avoid that.

Have you got extras-devel enabled? If so, you were warned!

Think of the children! Oh, won't somebody please think of the children!

i got shocked when it was plugged in the pc usb and i came out of the bathroom after a shower and my flip flops were wet. Damn dropped the phone on the floor. Now only touch it when wearing dry slippers or shoes. Since i dont have carpet due to cat in the house.

Shockin' that's all I can say.

Sounds to me like static build up from walking about on polyester carpets. You'd probably get a shock if you touched the central heating radiators too. But I must also say it's never happened to me and my N900.

I used to get zapped a lot when I went shopping in a certain department store. They had polyester carpets leading up to the escalators. *CRACK*

at least my old pc gave me shocks when my toes touched the radiator (grounded) and my hands touched the housing. it might be the live current leaking to ground (shouldn't happend btw), cover is RST if I remember correctly and it probably is earthed...

Show me on the N900 where he touched you
