Galaxy 7 for sure but really anything with lithium batteries has the potential.
Best to protect the jewels and put that thang in your back pockets.

Seems that unless you're wearing a solar panel hat and charging the phone, you're safe.

Which, by the way, was in his BACK pocket, judging from the photo, so your original idea is void.

Nope. Just going to combat BS in all its forms here.

Besides, DAYS ago there was this thread http://unitedstates.com/topic/10006389/1/#new .

Much more fact based with no inaccurate suppositions from the OP.

But don't let me stop you from posting and commenting BS then flailing abut trying to backfill ... :biggrin:

From Forbes



Samsung has recalled its new Galaxy Note 7 smartphone after reports it can overheat and even explode. The company said it had “conducted a thorough investigation and found a battery cell issue.”

According to Samsung, there have been 35 reported cases and 2.5 million phones have been produced. While that figure is relatively high (batteries typically fail at a rate of 1 in tens of millions) it’s still far from common.

Samsung sucks. Their battery sucks. Do a search about the band's battery issue. You were warned.

I know you have been stressed as of late about the rules...I was just trying to follow them....I thought you'd appreciate that...

Your thread has been helpful....made me cancel my order for the Note 7 and order a 1+3.....

Please take a deep breath or two....we got your back...even pledged solidarity with you in your fight for truth, justice and the communist way...

There is a worldwide recall over the batteries in the Note 7.

People sleep peacefully in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to visit violence on those who would do them harm.
