      I had the same thing happen with a galaxy s1, this was because I had a 12 volt charger in a 24 volt truck. Scared the fuck out of me when it went bang lol. I didnt say that was the cause when I went and returned my 1 week old phone as I thought it may not get replaced due to my user error, possibly same thing here.

          There are over 10 million Galaxy S 3's. If one of them explodes, what is the big deal? With that large of a sample, anything can happen.

                Anonymous, 21 Jun 2012the S3 owner is an ET and the mobile was designed for humans. LOL... I laughed so hard when reading this. Actually I've been concerned the heat produced from my Galaxy S2 when its being charge and looking forward for the S3 to address that issue. Well, it seems to be tough luck for me.
