Last night I answered a call on my mobile and my monitor started opening menus, lowering the volume, turning off and on and basically all the functions on the touch controls.
I made a call in my home and it happened again and again.
It works when the mobile is in a certain angle towards the controls.
Crazy stuff I would say!!!!

How weird. SO you have to be sure you turn it at a different angle from the controls when you use your phone. They are sensitive little buggers it seems. I wish I could say that my gadgets work that well! lol The remote on my DVD player doesn't work except to start the DVD and open the door on the DVD player. Play, stop and all that doesn't work.

So if i could open it I could probably jiggle and tighten whatever. Thanks.

I had a similar problem. The remote receiver plaque, was not working. No problem just electrical jam. I pulled out the socked of this plaque only, re-installed it and it work.
Try to open the DVD, it might work.
It was a socket like this.

Not just jiggle, pull it out and plug it again.

I wish, it is a cheap Nokia. I really hate mobiles, I just use them. I choose cheap phones.

Well, dear friend, what you have written is indeed very strange!
I do not know what connection there is between your phone and your PC monitor.
I think it could be an interference of electromagnetic waves, I find no other explanation. You know the new devices operate at very high frequencies.
I heard still talk sometimes the web of these strange phenomena, I am not, however, never able to arrive at a rational explanation, or, my theory is that I have described, but I'm not 100% sure distinctly.

It must be electromagnetic waves, but I would expect them to do something else than this.

Hi friend, i wonder about this incident, surely this kind of incidents will give some strange experience to us, as you mentioned both your pc monitor and cell phone had interaction, it is due to the waves
