It felt hot, like a pan straight off the stove to my fingers, my palm, or even laying it on my leg. I had to wear a hot mitt like I use taking a pan out of the oven to hold it. In addition to it being hot, it also felt like a zinging or tingling type feeling in my hands while touching it. I researched how to go in my phone and turn it to 4G only and the burning and tingling stopped as soon as I did that. \nAlso when the power goes out here in town, I can feel my body relax and the silence is so peaceful and I can sleep instantly. \n\nEven with my phone on 4G, if I leave it in the kitchen which is the other end of the house from my bedroom, I sleep more restful and deeper than having my phone in my bedroom at night. \n\nWhen I finally got a T-Mobile Hotspot box so I could have Internet at home, I barely could stand it after I turned it on as it ran 5G. It was painful being in the room with it until I got it switched to the lowest setting 2.5G I think it is, just to run my Wyze security cameras. \n\nWhen I leave the city and go to the country, I notice a tremendous difference, how my body relaxes and I feel so much better. I sleep so deeply in the country away from street lights and cell towers.
