Really bizarre question
If you can, take off the back panel of your phone and smell the battery area. If you can't, take a big wiff of the charging port or headphone jack. If it smells like mint / coconut / nailpolish let me know. Maybe I'm just crazy but apparently a lot of people's phones smell like this.

That's lithium gas coming off the battery.
Both my phones don't have removable batteries, unfortunately I can't inhale toxic fumes today :(

Re: Really bizarre question
Is it normal for them to give off fumes like that?

Apparently it's normal. Minty-sweet is a common description.

Re: Really bizarre question
I just got the strangest look from my boss as he passed me by. As I was sniffing the *bleep* end of my phone.
Either he thinks I have some weird fetish, or we'll be having another round of drug testing by Monday.
Thanks for nothing.

Electronics also emit ozone. I kinda like the smell of that.

It's possible to do all the right things and still get a bad result.

In some cases even dumber. What else is being sniffed out there?
I got Married because I was sick and tired of finishing my own sentences.
That's worked out great for me!
