I have advised on at least two separate flights by an FA to unplug my phone during take-off as the engines being turned on, and then spooling on take-off, could cause power surges (777 is the type). Whether that's true or not, I don't know. In both cases it wasn't a trip issue as the outlet is behind my shoulder, along with my phone.
