Tears of the Cows 1,204 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 https://bc.ctvnews.ca/what-is-going-on-right-now-vancouver-man-s-smartphone-bursts-into-flames-1.5011153 Quote VANCOUVER -- A Vancouver man is describing a "crazy moment" when he says his Samsung smartphone burst into flames as it sat in his passenger seat — while he was driving. “When you’re looking at it, it’s completely charred,” Chernoff told CTV News, holding the Samsung S7, which he bought in December 2016. “A huge flame erupts right next to me and that’s essentially my phone. I’m freaking out,” he recalled. “Right away I pulled it out, whipped it to the ground, and started dumping water on it. What is going on right now?” A dash camera video he showed CTV News shows a red flare reflected in the dashboard just before he stopped and gets out of the car. One of his first thoughts was Samsung’s 2016 recall of millions of Samsung Note 7 phones. At least 100 reportedly caught fire as the phone overheated. In one severe case, one phone owner said his vehicle also caught fire too. The replacement phone Samsung gave those customers was the S7. It also has had complaints. A class action lawsuit originally targeting Samsung for the Note 7 phones added the S7 in its pleadings Be careful, y’all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well, actually that makes the story less newsworthy. Because if its an S7, and we haven't had any reports of S7 problems, then this is a fluke one-off, and your "warning" actually makes less sense. You don't see thread being made about this, do you? Quote Exploding iPhone X on upgrade to iOS 12.1 ‘definitely not expected behavior,’ says Apple Ben Lovejoy - Nov. 14th 2018 5:17 am PT @benlovejoy Apple Support has responded to a report of an exploding iPhone X – occurring immediately after being upgraded to iOS 12.1 – by stating that this is ‘definitely not expected behavior’ … Thanks for the helpful clarification.

Thanks for the helpful clarification. Damn, digging up a two year article isn’t gonna save you... now. You just admitted Samsung has had TWO “known” exploding phone debacles. Yikes.

SO those are two different iPhone models exploding, as well. And like I said...............you don't see anybody making entire PSAs based on those one-offs. Thanks for illuminating the fact that your story is essentially a fluke and has no real merit to indicate otherwise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. Impossible 407 Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 Lol PSA. This is just another shit post because ghostz has some puzzling grudges with Samsung phones. Such a creepy little weirdo. He probably giggled and shit when he posted this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes or No? If you avoid answering this question, I'm going to assume the answer is No. And that you FAILED to properly notify us (about Apple's failures). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SO you failed to notify about an iPhone explosion crisis that occurred in 2018?????????? Well, that's rather disappointing of you. And of Apple, of course. You failed to notify about their failures. Maybe start there, next time. And you might end up with some credibility. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
