Does your E61 or E62 screen buzz?

By Stefan Constantinescu on Sunday, December 3rd, 2006 at 5:03 pm PST In Mobile Phones

I just noticed this today when checking my email right after waking up. The screen of the E61 buzzes when it’s on full brightness, when it dims you can barely hear the buzz, and when the backlight is completely off you don’t hear anything.

Now I’m a little bit paranoid, so I’m asking you guys, does this happen with your E61 or E62? You really have to put the phone against your ear to hear it. Then again it might be just me, I can hear light bulbs and dog whistles so I’m a bit abnormal in that respect.

UPDATE: After doing a few experiments I realized what was happening. I first noticed the buzz in the morning, meaning I was laying in bed, meaning it was dark in the room, therefore it was the backlite keyboard that caused this faint buzz. When I was using the phone outside or in my brightly lite office, no buzz. I can’t emphasize to you people tho how sensitive I am to high frequencies. Call it a gift, a mutation, whatever, but I can really hear those high notes that would otherwise be unidentifiable by most.

    Hmmm, maybe it’s just a really really high frequency that only I can hear haha

    It’s only when the phone is really really close to my ear anyway, and in a quite room, I don’t mind.

    I have the exact same problem. When I wake up in the morning and check my mail in the dark, the device buzzes. Very annoying to the point where I don’t think I could make a call without it disturbing me.
    Once I am in the office or in day light - the buzzing stops

    freaky
