[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDaveW:
+1 with the isue

I have been scouring the web this evening looking for similar issues, as the same thing has happened to me earlier today.

Luckily I was still in the room...

I plugged my Gnex into the official Samsung wall charger with the original Samsung cable and noticed that my GNex hadn't vibrated and the battery icon hadn't changed.

Seconds later there was a very strong smell (like burning rubber), a small amount of smoke came from the bottom of the phone.

Both the charging cable and the bottom of the phone were very hot.

Before I pulled out the cable, the screen flickered and the device went off.

I let the device cool and tried it in my pc usb port. The smell came back and it failed to charge.

I contacted O2UK to tell them of the issue, they have arranged to collect the phone on Monday and get it back to me in 3 working days.

I will be interested to see what they do with it (replace or repair).

Its a shame that I didn't see your video before you took it down, but both of my cables now have the same burn marks on them, identical to yours.

Are Samsung looking into this? It doesn't seem to be an isolated incident.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
They have my phone and I suggest you email my contact at Samsung as advised above. They are taking it seriously and I have come to an arrangement to take the video down.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sup3r:
holy ****

i encoutred this problem before 3 hours also

my gnex catching smoke from the bottom i hope i can get a repair it least >.< i took it from Handtec
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] viralbug:
This is really scary ****! :eek:

I just bought a new GSM GNex a couple of days ago. I've noticed the Samsung charger gets really hot while charging. Looking at this has got me more worried.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDaveW:
Update

Very fast service from O2 UK.

Phone picked up by courier on Monday.

O2 package delivered by courier earlier today.

I opened the package to be greeted with a letter that read, we have been unable to repair your phone quickly so we have sent a replacement.

Queue the big smile :D:good:

I opened the box to find.... A galaxy ace 2

...and the sulk started :( :eek:

A phone call to O2 was made.

"Sorry sir it appears that we didn't have any in stock. They always try to give you an upgraded model when this happens."

In what world is an ace 2 an upgrade!???

"If that is definitely the phone that you want then we will have to put in on back order."

So now I am waiting up to 5 days (we shall see) for my (Grade A Refurbished) Galaxy Nexus to be swapped on the doorstep with the Galaxy Ace 2.

I hope that they get it right this time...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DDaveW:
Possible resolution

Well its only a day since my last post.

O2 UK sent me an e-mail last night to say that my refurbished GNex would be with me on Thursday.

About an hour ago, I received a parcel with a GNex inside.

After a few anxious minutes of it not turning on; Not even to fastboot.

I plugged it into my charger.

A few minutes later it booted to fastboot where it showed as being unlocked.

I rebooted to find it was running android 4.0.1

It is currently updating through the versions hopefully getting back to 4.1.

As yet no fire/ smoke or carcinogenic smoke.

Fingers crossed it will last.

Best of luck to everyone who is having a similar problem. I will keep an eye on the thread to see how and when the OP's issue is resolved by Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NoDeuces:
After the same experience, especially with Samsung support and Google (bought through Google Play), I took your advice and emailed the president. We'll see what happens.

My wife just accidentally plugged in my phone, not thinking, and we could smell it upstairs. Panic ensued and the cable end melted!

I love my Nexus and I love Android....but if this isn't handled right, I may abandon them. Certainly Samsung. My wife is pissed and looking at iPhones on her Nexus 7!

Thanks for the help and hope...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Man I wanted to see this. :sly:

I wanna see how bad it is since my phone sits near stuff that catches in fire easily. Got paper, wood, etc. And sometimes I sleep with the phone charging. °_°

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
Are you retards charging your phone on the bed while you sleep? This sort of thing happens if I leave my phone on the bed because, its simple, heat can't escape. Leave it on the nightstand where it can easily breathe and you won't have fire issues lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] withbloodskies:
This is the dumbest thing I've heard. It can't breathe as it is, laying in a bed will not harm the nexus. This is most likely a charger and wall socket issue. The socket may be passing way too much power, the charger may have got fried and just finished off his port. It just sounds like a overpowered frying issue.

And not to mention if your a smart person and you work yeah charging at night is a to do thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NoDeuces:
Well...FAIL.

The President email response was uncaring. The problem I have is the lack of a loaner phone. You cannot craft a message around these convergent devices that you can live on and then not provide loaners in the event of a failure. Especially if the company is responsible. I won't get anything for my lost time without my only phone (it's my work phone too).

My wife is going to buy an iPhone today. I'm probably going to be planned into that too. Google and Samsung lost at least one customer, and maybe two because Samsung doesn't care about white people....sorry, I mean people.

"Thank you for your inquiry. We do understand your distress regarding the functionality of your handset and would like to provide assistance in resolving this matter. In order to assist you the handset, battery and charger must be sent to Samsung for evaluation. Without an extensive evaluation of your claim Samsung would be unable to provide a resolution.

The evaluation process will take a minimum of 5-7 business days upon receipt of your unit. If you do not have a backup device or your local service provider does not participate in a loaner program you would be without a device during the evaluation period.

To proceed in the RMA process you may contact Samsung Customer Support directly at 1-888-987-4357 or reply to this email and a UPS E-label will be emailed to you for the shipment of your product.

Thank you"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zlewe:
I know I can't change your decision. But do you really think about it? Really going for iSue product?

And if you really want Samsung to care about this issue, you can try take a video and send to Apple. LOL
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
Worked for me!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] skadebo:
I hope we get the all digital Lightning connector on the next Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NoDeuces:
No I don't WANT an iPhone. But what do you do after you're given the finger by Google and Samsung?

I'm trying to find a wooden night stand. I plan to do a recording of my phone burning and put it on youtube. Perhaps that, along with my trip to the Apple Store to buy a crappy iphone.

The way I figure it, Samsung doesn't care cause I am just one person...or 2 phones (me and wife). Maybe if this video goes viral, they will care. There's no end game here, except to show what happens when their device fails and the danger it causes. I think it will burn beyond repair at that point.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
Didn't the iPhone 3Gs or something have catching-on-fire issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zlewe:
The OP had success getting a replacement.

Perhaps you can too.

Iphone made in Foxconn factory in China. Few weeks ago there is an employee of the factory said this in a Chinese Forum : "Apple are even selling the rejected (or defected) iPhone 5 because the production was late and they can't miss the promised release date. I advise that you buys second batch..." :facepalm:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jimmyco2008:
Oh man....... worse than fire on a couple of phones IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fire n mage:
Im glad i no longer charge my phone over night, +1 for extra battery and charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AirBoss24K:
How quickly will charging your phone overnight, degrade your battery? Any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akira02rex:
Huh? It makes perfect sense...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lastrider:
This just happened to mine! What the hell!

I'm so p*ssed atm. I was sitting at my desk at home. Heard a sizzling sound, saw smoke. Picked up my phone and this burning plastic smell and glowing yellow light was coming out the charging port. Yanked the cable out and more smoke.

Now nothing charges my phone, and well I have to go to my local o2 store to see what they say. I don't think I want a replacement Galaxy Nexus. If this happened an hour later, I would have been in bed, with my alarm set on the phone on charge laying beside me. Can you imagine if it had caught fire on my bed?! I've lost total trust on this device, and possibly Samsung.

This is lunacy.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] carberoz:
get a replacement unit..

that pretty creepy..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gwchandler:
Same thing just happened to me. Did you get a replacement phone from them?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] volcs0:
Mine just did this.

Plugged in charger, smell, smoke, fire.

Charging / USB port is dead. It still powers on with the battery, so I can copy off my stuff.

Any recourse from Samsung?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nayansb:
Same problem - with greater intensity though

Hey, I am facing a similar problem with my HTC One V. In my case, for 7 out of 10 calls the phone reboots. In addition, I am facing a network issues...No network at same places where i used to get network with the same sim card in my earlier device.

Did you figure out the solution to the problem.

Can anybody help me please???
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SvenVD:
Hi,

If I force GSM only in the mobile network settings, only then I did not have this problem anymore. (But this disables 3G also off course) :).

As a sidenote: For some dark reason 3G stopped working for me all together. Don't know if this is a known problem on the HTC ONE V. (It shows 3G connected, but will loose all cellular connections after some seconds). Only after a reboot it works again for some seconds only to loose connection again. So disabling 3G solved both of these problems.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nayansb:
Hi

My problem got resolved as I got the software update done and changed the sim card from a 32K sim to a 64K sim. Still sometimes i loose network but not in a way it used to be previously, Don't know much about the 3G problem though!!!
[General Questions and Answers] AceSGS:
As the title says is there an app that I can turn my SGS2 into a bluetooth keyboard so when i type it comes out on my Xperia Play?

I need a program so I can play some old school text based adventure games on an amstrad emulator

I know there is an app called Tablet remote that is meant to do what i have just said but it don`t work :( So anyone know any other programs that could work?

Thanks

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sbddude:
Having switched from the iphone, one of the things I miss on the Note is the ability to control pause, skip and volume using a three-button remote.

Fortunately, I found a DIY on instructables which solves this problem. Today I was able to get it working and verified that it works on the Note (i717). I also tested on a friend's skyrocket, so I believe most Samsung devices will work.

Here's how to do it:

1. Get the iLuv remote from Amazon. It's about $5

2. open the middle pod of the remote using a knife or razorblade. I just used one of my kitchen knives (carefully).

3. solder on a 600 ohm and 220 ohm 0604 resistor as shown in the picture. make sure the orientation is right (use the white printing on the circuit board as a reference). It will not work if backwards.

4. test to verify it works. On the note, the + and - buttons control the volume. The middle button will play/pause.

5. snap the plastic case back on. I held it together with some heat shrink tubing.

Image credit: instructables
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sam.jh:
did you not get any accessories with your note? I got headphones with my note that do exactly this function and though they're not great headphones i'm sure would be better then 5$ headphones lol... just sayin:p

cool that this works however!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
ATT Notes didn't come with headphones
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sbddude:
$5 is for the remote and works with ANY headphones.

The included headphones are poor sound quality IMHO (I tried the headphones that came with my friend's skyrocket).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] welchertc:
I agree, I got the Samsung freebie headphones with both my captivate and infuse, and I could care less that ATT chose to not include them with the note. If somebody can buy a brand new galaxy note but not a 20 dollar pair of ear buds that sound halfway decent, something is wrong in this world. Haha.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
This phone is awesome. I have yet to see any posts showing interest in their phone, beyond changing ROMs like its a disease.

I recently found out I can use 'Six-Axis controller' to connect a ps3 controller to my phone and effectively have a portable n64 console with me. All I need to do now is find a Conker's Bad Fur Day or Banjo-Kazooie ROM.

I recently found out about LCD density changing and messed around with it a lot. 180 makes our Skyrocket look sexy. (But now I'm experiencing market compatibility issues so I need to look more into it).

I like organization, so SD-Maid was a nice find and I'm going to learn Titanium Backup to increase my battery life. Just need to find a freeze list.

I found the site My ColorScreen so theming will be a task soon undertaken, as soon as the necessities are figured out.

So come on, share some cool things about your phone. Whether it's a cool Llama task you made, new homescreen setup, an app you think people should know about, a ROM you like (AOKP + CM9, thank you guys), or an important tip you should know (I didn't know Titanium Backup could restore my folder settings in Nova Launcher, that would have saved time).

Be a little positive guys.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] whosgotlag:
Why is it that an incorrect, naive post about an OTA update for Skyrocket can get two pages instantly full of people *****ing about how useless the thread is (then don't reply to it smartass).

While a thread with the capacity to help people find some cool things about their phone gets nothing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Krazedkuniva:
I hear the app "LCD Density Modder Pro" can fix the market compatibility issues. It's a paid app though.

Any more info on the six-axis controller and how to use the phone as a "portable n64"? That sounds interesting!

Edit: Ah, a little bit of googling answered my question about that six-axis controller.. didn't realize it was an app. Makes sense now. Which N64 emulator do you use?
