    Default could a treadmill destroy my phone?

    I couldn't think of what else to call this thread.

    Today I was on a treadmill at my gym and this particular treadmill is really high tech - it keeps scrolling across the screen how fast u r going, how many calories you are burning and your averages etc. My mobile (cell phone) was resting on the top of it and it started going all crazy. The number 0 just kept appearing on the screen several times and it was trying to connect to the internet.

    Now it's not working properly. I just tried to type a text message and the screen was going crazy again.

    did the treadmill do this per some interference?

    Some of the most effortlessly beautiful, kind, intelligent, successful, motivated, driven and ridiculously hilarious women that I have ever met have been dancers. I've met the best friends that I've ever had in this industry.

    potentially, yes, it could have been the treadmill, depends on how much power the display is using....all the electronics do create a magnetic field, however, its hard to say if it would be strong enough to interfer...

    actaully thinking about it, it may be a defective treadmill display, as if this is the case, treadmills are designed so that items, phones, ipods, cd players can rest on them....if it did it to your phoone, it will surely do it to the items I listed.
