Hello Everyone, I have a question. My fancy 1000.00 5G phone is burning the crap out of my hand. I have been having a stining sensation on my left hand. It goes away if i leave it on the charger away from my body. But damn if im on the forums the stinging returns. Its the phone and comes back as soon as I pick up this hand held microwave. Can anyone suggest a method to handle this thing or turn down the singing affect? I plan on turning off mobil and switching to wifi when at home. My cellphone provider built new towers and we had to switch to all 5G phones. They told us the 4G phones would no longer work. This is ridiculous.

You say you have a "stining sensation" then you write "singing affect". (I assume you mean effect.) It's not clear to me what you are trying to describe and is it momentary or lasting?
What happens if you place a piece of aluminum foil over your hand then place the phone on it. any sensation?
Edit: I see you also wrote "stinging" but you wrote "burning" in the title. I'm assuming that it's not connected to the charger when this happens?
Nice: I get downvoted for asking for clarification as I'd like to help. I'm an electronics engineer; I understand technology but I don't understand what OP is struggling to describe. I need more info.
OK so happens while holding in left hand. Not right away but after about 5 min. The stining sensation is on the back of the hand like a sunburn. I switch hands and it starts with the right hand. While working a 10 hr shift I have no symptoms. But after work I start perusing the forums and the stinging returns. It only happens while holding the phone. I'm going to try turning off mobil data and see what wifi does? I didn't think about a power leak. The phone is in a case made of plastic but the screen is unprotected.
So the phone is held in the palm of your hand but the stinging sensation is on the back of your hand. (By the way, there's no such thing as a "power leak" from a battery-powered phone.)
Based on the information that you've provided so far, the only possibility is the RF radiation from the phone and this will be greater in a weak signal area where the phone must transmit a stronger signal.
Are you in a weak signal area?
I'd like to know whether the problem exists when you place a large sheet of aluminum foil between your hand and the phone?
I'd like to know whether the problem exists in a strong signal area?
I'd like to know whether the problem exists when you set the phone to WiFi only?
You should do these tests to narrow down the possibilities.
Some people are more sensitive to RF radiation.
I've waited more than a day for a response and now I'm closing this tab.
