So I driving along today with my Galaxy S3 in my car mount when suddenly a white flame, sparks and a bang came out of the phone.

I pulled in to look at my phone, the phone burned from the inside out. Burned through the plastic and melted my case to my phone. The phone kept working but without any signal.

I brought it to the carphone warehouse and they told me that they couldnt replace it for me that they had to send it off to be checked out first. No even replacement phone, left with nothing.

The phone was destroyed and it slightly burned a piece of plastic on the inside of my car.

And they are refusing to give me a replacement they had to send it off. Probably nothing I can do, but Im really annoyed. That could have burned the side of my face or through my pocket and my leg, or set fire to my bed. Its very dangerous.

It's an isolated incident that can happen with any other phone.

Let's hope these are isolated; and also the neglect in not following up.

The confession is too funny:

the conspiracy theorist in me says someone got paid off to make a false public statement?

i mean to flat out lie in the original statement and now say he was lying makes me wonder which is the actual lie.

either way, the battery DOES get hot occasionally.

Crazy. Will I still get the phone after reading this?

Yup

Yup

of course you would if you read this. this was all a big scam by a liar trying to blame Samsung.

Agree with intlbizman. The guy who posted about the 'explosion' confessed earlier that it exploded when he had put the phone in microwave to dry it after it fell into water. Pretty lame huh! Any phone could explode if you try to 'cook' it
