I have noticed recently an interesting phenomenon.
I would usually leave my Nexus 5 on my bedside table overnight adjacent to my radio-controlled watch, which picks up the DCF77 signal from Frankfurt (at 77.5 kHz). I discovered that, in these circumstances, my watch fails to receive the time signal, which occurs at 2am and 3am.
However, when I place my watch further away from my phone (about six feet or so), the watch successfully picks up the time signal every night. I have been experimenting with these two positions regularly now for a couple of weeks or more with the same results. I can only presume that signals from (or maybe to) the phone are in some way interfering with the signals to the watch.
It is no real problem, though, as I just make sure I keep the watch away from the phone now. I do find it strange, however, and if anyone has any idea what is happening, or has experienced something similar, I'd be very interested to hear.
