SGS II SGH-I727 exploded in pocket. Photos inside

My friend almost lost his nuts! He said he heard a sound, a burning sensation on his leg and as he pulled this piece of junk out of his pocket he smelled burning. There was smoke coming out of his pocket and out of the phone. LoL, He said he was scared.
My friend didn't even own this phone for two weeks before it nearly burned him! He said he wasn't even using it; just idling in his pocket and hadn't been used for awhile.
Here's some photos:

Funny, I was just reading a day or so ago about an iPhone 4s that caught fire and thought to myself.... "Well, that'll never happen with a Skyrocket".
doh.

Yup didnt you guys here yet? Because of this there is now a recall...all skyrocket owners must reaturn them to the closest at&t store they will be exchanged at no cost for a at&t galaxy nexus which was not supposed to be released until christmass day... but they are releasing tomarrow instead

Most battery fires are caused by liquid shorts or crappy chargers

For sure let us know what AT&T does about it.

Well rockets always have had a history of blowing up. Guess a better name for this phone was the
POCKET ROCKET

pretty sure he will get compensated pretty good from samsung.

I hope he sues the balls off of them! No pun intended

was probably a fluke, i dont know how you would cross battery connections without some sort of a jumper/maybe a liquid that would cuase this. its like putting 2 nine volt batteries ( the square ones end to end ) eventually they will melt/maybe explode from the heat building up.
i can see this happening if something small got caught in between the battery and phone connection while re-seating the battery.

If it is truely an AT&T skyrocket, maybe AT&T sent the remote distruct command when your friend put a Roger's SIM in his phone.....

this thread would be on bgr

Will be interesting to see unfold. We had a local Guy claim that a motodroid exploded near his face last year. He went public and went after Motorola claiming glass shards cut up his face etc. I want to say they determined dude had dropped the phone which cracked the screen and everything beyond that was staged.

the problem was obviously a battery fire, not the phone itself
this could mean it was a faulty battery or the contacts might have got wet by the closest source of spill
after all it was near his balls, according to the OP
just return it to rogers and get an exchange, you'll need a new SIM card & SGH-i727R anyways

where did you read this?

you can get the sgp neo hybrid case thats white and the moshi ivisor also in white. it would probably be the closest to an all white skyrocket in my opinion and it would look sik.

i'm using SGP's white ultra capsule case, and it is pretty baller.
i'm intentionally using the word "baller" here because there's no other way to describe how perfect it is.

Custom Signatures and ROM Posters

I'm going to be taking a break from these until I can get some things worked out. If I said I would make one for you, I will finish it first when I get things worked out again. Until then, all requests will have to be put on hold. Hopefully it'll only be until the end of April.
If you would like to have a custom signature made for your XDA account, I'd love to be able to work on one for you. Here are a couple of examples of my recent work:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
I also do custom ROM posters if any devs would like to have one.
If you would like to have a signature or poster made up, send me a pm and we'll work it out. Or you can post here and I'll try to contact you.

I like your stuff, especially the ROM posters.

Which is much better? AMOLED or LCD Display ?

I'd say that depends on personal choice. What may look good to one person, may look like craps to someone else

Wasn't being defensive at all, a lot of people in these forums have notice a lot of M8 users trolling here, tons of comments have been removed by mods because of this. I guess just by looking at your Sig I wasn't able to see the fact you owned more than one phone...Fanboy? (I know what it means, just don't understand the derogatory use of it here).

[Q] Has anyone of you had tried out using a stylus on tab 2 P3100?

Hey guys,
I am planning to buy a stylus for my GS Tab 2 P3100, so I just need your advice, whether should I invest in buying a stylus?
Actually I want to use my tab as a note pad or note book for noting down important stuffs, you guys tell me, do stylus work well on our tab? As I am low on budget, so going to buy a not to costly stylus, is it worth or useless?
Thanks in advance, Hoping for some positive replies.:victory:

I got a soft tipped one from the gas station for $3 and it works fine. Its all metal and has a conductive but soft nub on the end.
To be honest I don't use it much since I can type faster and clearer than I can write. Plus I rest my hand on a surface when writing or drawing.

Thank god, someone replied.
Can you please post the picture of stylus? And of what brands is it?
Just one more thing, whether stylus is responsive on your tab screen, I mean you can write with it on your Tab like wise you write on a paper, without any error or break, in a constant flow?
Actually I need it to take note as I am a bit lazy with in built keyboard. And seriously I dont want to waste my money over it even if its relatively cheap So i need advicd, I just can spend about 3-4 $.
THANKS.

Yeah, I'll find it and scribble some scribbles for you this afternoon when I'm off work.
I'll get a pic of the package in the gas station too, great excuse for s beer run.
