anyone else notice that their cellphone sets off laser on their detector? when i was moving my suctioncup mount today i had my x50 sitting on 1 leg, and my phone on my other all of a sudden laser is going off and im like WTF?? then after i move my phone away it stops. so after a few thorough tests i concluded it was indeed my phone that set it off.

Nope doesn't set mine off. Have my RD sitting next to me (house adapter :D ) and just tried putting my cell phone infront of it, didn't set it off. What phone do you have? I have a audiovox 8610

There is something in the dash of my I30 that sets off my V1 and a Passport 5000 if pointed in a specific direction. I have no clue what it is.

You may want to call Escort. 7500S models had a cell phone problem and they did a mod on them, IIRC.

If I point my V-1 at the NAV display in my car it sets off the Laser? ANy clue as to why?
both cases are false sources of IR light, probably same wavelength as real lidar guns

Are you using VCast? or BlueTooth?
I notice when I use my bluetooth on my car my radar goes off sometimes :shock: (escort), scared the **** out of me

The SideKick is made by a company called Danger Inc. I believe that's the only phone they make.
I have a 1st Gen Razer V3 ( Black )
I also use a Bluetooth Plantronics Voyager 510 headset constanly and have never had laser false while using either.

Was thinking of the n-gage. I don't keep up with all these new cell phones coming out every 5 minutes

I'd try with my sk3 but had to return it. Had it in the same pocket with my check/debit card and the magnet from the flip screen erased everything off the card...

**** i read that on a sk3 forum and i always used to stick my phone ontop of my wallet and not realising it i still do it. i tryed to use my credit card the other day and it wouldnt swipe, then i tryed in another store and it does the same thing.
