(See notes below re this recreation.) Here is what happened when I connected my Samsung charger to the USB port of my Samsung Galaxy Nexus (unlocked O2 UK model) as usual earlier today. I smelt smoke from the USB port. I pulled the plug and saw a yellow flame, then started coughing. The unit would no longer charge. The USB cable came out charred, as is the socket. This video shows the cause under a later recreation - it seems when something pushes very lightly on the central USB 'fin', just like when you plug a charger in, it creates fire.NB: This recreation was NOT the cause of the issue, and I am not creating a short circuit here. The fault started for the first time when inserting an official Samsung charger today, and happens with any USB charging cable too. I used the method shown in this video, because it leaves the USB socket open so you can see the flame. I am placing the tool under the USB central fin, whereas the flame occurs above it. There is something between the top of the fin and the circuitry that has a manufacturing fault. I held my breath whilst making this video, with the window open.Obviously this is very worrying, and I spoke to Samsung's 'Office of the President'... who [edit] are sending out a warranty replacement device on a swapout basis as I cannot be without my phone (it still works! I rely on it for work and have no landline). Initially they refused, but after I posted this thread things seemed to change. They had only told me to send mine in and that "it could take a few weeks to repair". A person I have spoken to before going by the name 'Greg Crenshaw' of the Office of the President also said that my inhaling carcinogenic smoke was "of great concern to us" and that I should "seek medical attention". He could not confirm they would pay such medical bills.Under the circumstances of their product catching fire, I'm pretty appalled they would not originally offer me a replacement swapout, especially as I started my call to the President's office by asking if the smoke would be carcinogenic or toxic to me. All I wanted was a human, common sense reaction. Unfortunately Samsung seemed to think that nearly setting fire to a customer's home, and potentially causing them to breathe cancer-causing smoke, was not a good enough reason to slightly adjust their "standard policy" and allow that customer to have a new phone before he returns his flammable one which he relied on for work.'Greg Crenshaw' had stated Samsung USA do not have in their possession any Galaxy Nexus handsets they could possibly send me.Even though it's their flagship phone.Seriously, Samsung don't posses a single Galaxy Nexus.I asked the Office of the President.Shame on you Samsung.The purpose of this thread was to ask for advice in how to get a swapout replacement given the circumstances? [Edit] but now it seems one is on the way.
