13-year-old Texas girl, Ariel Tolfree who
placed her Samsung Galaxy S4 under her
pillow while charging it and fell asleep
has explained how she woke up to see it
burnt.
Tolfree said later that night, she smelled
something burning, but never thought it
could be her phone.
“ I didn’t think much of it, so I went back to
sleep and then I woke up again and it was
more prominent ,” she said.
Tolfree’ s dad however believes the phone
overheated, causing the battery to swell
and ignite a small fire.
In another development, Holly Hewett , 25 ,
plugged her phone in to charge while she
slept, but she was later woken up by a
sizzling sound and the smell of the
burning phone. She explains;
‘I woke up at 4.30am when my
boyfriend got up to go to work and
looked at my phone to check the time.
‘I noticed it was running low on battery
so I plugged it in and put it on charge.
‘At about 5am I checked the time again
then rolled over and went back to sleep,
but within about 10 minutes of that I
heard a sizzling sound.
‘Even though it was dark I could smell
the smoke. I picked it up and the screen
sparked.
‘As I walked to the bathroom the battery
fell out of the casing at the back onto the
floor.
‘I didn’t burn myself but there’s a hole in
the carpet where it scorched it. The smell
was awful, so I opened a window.’
‘I was on my own and panicked because
I’d got no house phone so I didn’t know
how to contact anyone to let them know
what had happened, she said.

i hope this serves as a warning and a
lesson to everyone charging phones and
gadgets all trough the night, it is very
dangerous. please take note.

The way My Samsung Galaxy phone heats up these days is scary...It the reason why I let it cool off bfore plugging it to charge. I also intentionally dont sleep with it under my pillow but rather I place it on an open surface...
Every one gotta be careful when using n Android device Cus of d over heating nature....

So scarery....

Thank your stars say ur head no roast join!

Samsung should work on their charging system. Once a phone indicates charging is complete no current is suppose to flow in any longer. the charging ic is suppose to shut down once your battery is fully charged. Samsung should work on their charging system if that be the case. Another thing that can cause this is unspecified charger

Blood of Judas!!!
See burnt phone and pillow. Dafuq?!

hmmm, things are happening. wait hoe say na ure money them use buy the phone

i need to show bipe this pikshure

why wont the phone get burnt when the Cell is subjected to too much heat... #Pillow COUPLED with FOAM and Charging at the same time. Damn

I sometimes open the battery cover during charging for better ventilation.

Na dey dc current dey spark fire? :/

Even laptops need a constant stream of cold air while working with them.

Why would someone hide a phone and keep charging it where there is no air supply rather, cotton and a weight of pillow and your head ? To me it doesn't make sense.

Whenever I mistakenly sleep off on my phone at night, I always wake with a jerk, pick it up and place it accordingly, I feel for it. Its not a teddy bear.

But the lady in the second example did not charge her phone all thru d night. she started charging at 4.30am and the phone got burnt at 5.10 am which is just 40 minutes later.
In short if a phone will burn, it will burn. It doesnt matter whether you charge it overnight or you charge it for just 40 minutes, a phone that is ready to burn will burn. Shikena!

Picture of the charger please
