Why does my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 give a mild electric shock during calls?

Samsung Galaxy Note 5 gives mild electric shock during calls

Ok this is going to sound ludricrous, and I have been googling for months now, found no info, and just dismissing myself as my imagination, but today this got really frustrating.

My Samsung Galaxy Note 5 gives me mild shocks at my ear during phone calls. I switched from left ear to right, but I get stinging sensations at the spot where my ear adjoined to my face when I am on a call.

My question is, WHO ELSE GETS THIS? I cannot be the only user to be having this problem!!

Does this happen to others when they use your phone? Does it happen to you when you use a different phone? Have you checked the phone with a volt meter?

I suspect something in mechanically wrong with the phone. I would have it looked at by a qualified repair shop. Your carrier, or a mobile repair shop you find yourself.

I would take it in that's for sure. It could explode possibly. Wouldn't want you to get hurt.

Send back to Samsung for repair!!! That's not normal.

I am so glad I saw this. today I was using my phone and I got a horrible sensation that I was being electrocuted. it was for a few seconds and actually dropped the phone and it stopped. I thought I was going to die. I called my doctor and told to go to the er I ended up going to an urgent treatment. the doctor said it may have been the phone that shocked me. I'm making a nuerology appointment just in case, but it is a relief to hear this has happened to someone else.
