You should have switched it off i charge my phone overnight but i always make sure i switch it off (Galaxy S6) overheat alot due to fast charge but once its 100% full it cools down automatically even without removing the charger. Use quality phones

It seemed to me as though i was in a dream cos i couldn't believe i was going to be in this kind of situation that sunday morning (30th of april 2017).

Some hours before then i had been keeping tabs on the boxing bout between A.j & Klitchko via nland with my infinix hot 2. Around 11pm after the bout i was feeling dizzy due to long hours of being wide awake, so i then decide to go to bed.

Meanwhile,my phone was at 50% charge at the time but due to the unpredictable nature of our guys (nepa or whatever the name they choose to call themselves) i decided to plug my device whilst i go to sleep (big mistake).

That was how i woke up on Sunday around 8am, after observing a lil meditation i decided to go for my phone. On picking it up first thing i observed was that my phone was switched off. That's when i sensed danger (because i didn't switch my phone off in the first place). I then tried to switch it on but it didn't come up but rather my screen backlight was flashing on and off in sync with the back cameras flash light.

I later checked my charger only to discover that it had blown overnight, that was when my worst fear was confirmed. I proceeded to check if it was a minor problem that could easily be fixed but i found out the power surge had damaged the phones panel therefore rendering it irreparable.

Thats my story nlanders. If anyone had told me i'd lose my device to overnight charging i would have laughed it off but that's where i'm at today.

Therefore, I decided to share my story with you guys so that you may learn from my error. Good day guys.

ZAWs:
Tecno, infinix and their kinds na apology.
I rather use 2013 Samsung, HTC, LG than these 2017 Chinese roadside substandard plastic toys.
When you tell them how dangerous these roadside substandard failures are to use; they would be equating them to STANDARD PHONES. Telling you they have eyes and ears scanners, pepper spray etc.
That phone would have stopped charging if it were a STANDARD PHONE once it detects a power surge.
Nonsense

baba4thegehs:
China phone plus fake charger equals disaster.

I'm not surprised.

Original chargers have regulators even if there is a power surge it's output doesn't change.

Buy OEM stop buying all these China brands with mediocre components embedded inside the phone.

I once used Tecno C8, the phone just crashed just like that after an OTA update ever since then I don't do MTKs

Unfortunately you learnt the hard way.


Sorry Chap

Gkemz:
I'm a witness. My Galaxy s4 panel was badly affected after an overnight charging with an infinix charger. Suspecting that the battery is bad, i tried to clean it with petrol (that's a mistake i made) and inserted it afterwards to phone. The phone refused to power and when i sent it to a technician, i was meant to understand that the panel is gone.

shiftback:


Lol...you obviously do not know what OEM means do you?

bigtt76:
You didn't tell us if you were charging on gen or public power supply or if you were using a different charger from the one that came with the device

ShinyJay22:
It was not on gen,i would have specified that already in my post.The damage was as a result of a bad neutral causing a bad power surge and by the way please i appeal that no one(or company) is to be blamed other than me for this incident so those blaming infinix should pls take a chill pill.Afterall i was the one that used a third party (not infinix but a samsung chinese cloned) charger to charge my phone and prior to that day it had been functioning perfectly.
I just wanted to use my story to highlight the unpredictablity of life.Thanks

LordZero:

lmfao. ..

When you tell them there is a difference between quality and quantity, they'll say you are hating or you have a nonsense mentality. .... Even original Nokia charger has surge protector and charge regulator...

Heartmender1:
My Samsung Galaxy prime also got damaged within 10min when i charged it with GEN, I was surprised dat the phone i just used in chatting and calling people suddenly became a dead phone. I even had an argument with my neighbor concerning how i met my phone switched off whereas it was ON Wen I left it to charge.. But unfortunately, wen i took the phone to a care center; they said its because i didn't use the specified charger of the phone and it has caused damage to the phone which can't be repair again than to change the panel...
