Health app and steps in B3

Good job you never put it near your head then.

Also, you’d probably best avoid areas with wireless internet, TV, GPS or radio signals. Not to mention microwaves, remote central locking, thunderstorms, certain types of granite and smoke detectors.

“Radiation” in these forms is a fact of the modern world, and no significant harm has ever been linked to this.

Although, if you are really worried, a good tinfoil hat will keep the waves away. I promise.

Actually I use a bluetooth. Listen I am not saying to go into a room that is shielded from fields. But you also don't want to duct tape a phone to your leg 24/7.
People always have this all or nothing mentality. Moderation is always the best policy.

No, you are quite right; the “bluetooth” which is attached to your head, works by magic and good will, not UHF radio waves between 2.4 and 2.485 GHz. In addition it is far better to have those radio wave concentrated on your head, rather than your leg; Due to the way your thigh is the protective container for the main organ in your central nervous system, whereas your skull is simply a concentration of muscle and bone used in locomotion.

Once again, there has been no statistically significant link between use of a mobile phone and, for example, cancer. See the following papers for further information (I’ve included a statement on the results from the abstract of each);

Epidemiology of health effects of radiofrequency exposure, A Ahlbom et al, Radiat Res. 2006 May;165(5):608-15.
Results of these studies to date give no consistent or convincing evidence of a causal relation between RF exposure and any adverse health effect. On the other hand, the studies have too many deficiencies to rule out an association.

Effects of cell phone radiofrequency signal exposure on brain glucose metabolism. ND Volkow et al, JAMA. 2011 Feb 23;305(8):808-13. doi: 10.1001/jama.2011.186.
In healthy participants and compared with no exposure, 50-minute cell phone exposure was associated with increased brain glucose metabolism in the region closest to the antenna. This finding is of unknown clinical significance.

Mobile phone base station radiation does not affect neoplastic transformation in BALB/3T3 cells. H Hirose et al, Bioelectromagnetics. 2008 Jan;29(1):55-64.
Our studies found no evidence to support the hypothesis that RF fields may affect malignant transformation. Our results suggest that exposure to low-level RF radiation of up to 800 mW/kg does not induce cell transformation, which causes tumor formation.

The effects of pulsed 860 MHz radiofrequency radiation on the promotion of neurogenic tumors in rats.
BC Zook & SJ Simmens, Radiat Res. 2006 May;165(5):608-15.
A methodical study of the tumor characteristics disclosed no evidence that exposure to the pulsed RF signal affected the incidence, malignancy, volume, multiplicity, latency or fatality associated with any kind of neurogenic tumor.

I can understand that you want to believe that something like this might be the case, however please do understand that there is an overwhelming body of evidence against this theory and in effect you are giving in to superstition about the mysterious magical rays that power the modern world.

Oooooh fun game. Listen again, I love tech but I also try to be smart about it. I will be first in line for my 4.7 IPHONE 6.
Superstition? This is not me walking on cracks on the sidewalk or opening an umbrella indoors.

I can also find studies.

Cell Phone Radiation May Damage Sperm Count. http://www.ewg.org/cell-phone-radiation-damages-sperm-studies-find

Studies where girls who put their cell phones in their bras may increase cancer risk.

I've been actively using a cell phone since the 90's so my ex-wife was either super fertile or that radiation gave me "Michael Phelps swimmers".
I won't go into more detail and I'm not a radiation cellphone scientist but if I was trying to reduce waves of whatever type, I wouldn't have a device that transmits and receives inside my ear.

I'd also not work inside an ATT or Verizon. That sheer blast of constant WiFi and cell phone "should" give you some form of cancer within days. I mean, you're holding, listening, walking around dozens of phones and every other devices 8-10hours a day on top of your personal.

I'm not saying your thoughts on the matter are wrong but I just think if cell phones were actually causing issues like that we would be seeing/hearing more about it especially from those that do work in the industry.
 
My steps still haven't shown up in Health in beta 4 or 5. Might require a new restore but not concerned enough with it to do that.
