Do you know that an Android phone and its Battery(cell ) when ‘ON’ has the explosive power of a Bomb? Yes, it can explode with the force of a grenade that can kill persons within a radius of 2meters from the phone, even the person holding it!

Perhaps you have heard of Android phones causing explosions in gas stations that killed the person using it and others around? Below are safety tips to help you avoid such nonsense fate.



1. Avoid going to a Petrol station with your Android/smart phone “ON”.
Switch your Android phone “OFF”, make sure it is not “ON” before you enter a gas station.

If it is “ON” in a petrol station, resist the temptation to make or answer calls at that moment. A woman went to refill her gas cylinder and a call came in. According to media reports, after she answered the call, it ignited a huge blast in her immediate environment that killed her.



2. Avoid having your Android phone in the kitchen when cooking with a gas cooker. That immediately becomes a high risk environment. Because both the phone and the gas cylinder can explode!

3. Do not leave your phone to keep charging after it is fully charged. An Android phone battery that is already full but still charging is a serious danger.

So, avoid sleeping off when charging your phone the same way as you would avoid leaving food on the fire while you enjoy sweet sleep.

Highly doubt no.3.

In what capacity are you pontificating? Who made you the Anthony General of Phone Safety

Fake news!

For a start, it's over a decade that it has been proven that your phone cannot cause a fire accident.
To put it in simple terms, it is easier for your body to cause a fire in a petrol station (via charges up to 60000v from moving about your car seat) than for your phone's meagre 4.80v to cause any damage. Also remember that the vehicle you drove into the fuel station runs on a 12v battery but is perfectly safe.

Turning off your phone in a fuel station is an overkill.

MODIFIED: Please forget about the idea of electromagnetic waves. For petrol vapour to actually explode, it has to be heated. Now, how can the phone's waves heat up the vapour?

H

You dont even know why they are called SMARTPHONES...smh...

Okay

No 3 isn't for a smart phone.

Everything in this world is now harmful....time to port to space

Na God dey save person jare

true talk

Story, I leave my phones charging all night till morning.
I go to the filling station with my android phones on, but I don't make or pick no calls. So...

Anthony General. Hehehe. I see what U did there

Bomb force kor, Earthquake force nii

phones are not bomb, the battery of a phone cannot cause explosion like a grenade as you claimed.

the only that that can ever happen to a phone battery is fire..

making calls in gas station and having your phone caught fire will happen in 00000.00001 times. the basic reasons is when the phone is use up. it heat the battery unlike when in idle mode. and for a phone battery to caught fire in use up mode is 0000000.00000001 times

Start here. Then use Google to do basic research, Boss.

My phone is always plug to the socket whether low or not and I have not bomb yet.

Jake420:

Research about how phone batteries gradually start becoming dangerous due to constant overcharging. Save a life: if you aren't sure of something, don't tell others to shok hand in it. Peace.

Stop it today. That's a safety hazard. Phone batteries aren't built for constant overcharging. Phone batteries...

These stories we used to hear when phones newly entered Naija.
My brother, all these are fake. Your phone can never catch fire in a gas station when u make or receive calls. The amount of radio wave produced by cell phone cannot cause fire outbreak. Unless if u are using a highly defective phone. What can cause fire at gas stations is mostly static electricity probably from body contact or from the kind of clothing material one is wearing. Example is polyester clothes. When they rub/cling on human body, they produce static charge which is capable of igniting a gas. So some of the gas attendants should avoid some of those materials.

Secondly, it's only a very faulty phone that can ignite a cooking gas. A good condition phone can't. So if a faulty phone causes a problem, we should not generally say that phones should not be used in the kitchen.

The one I found very ridiculous is saying that over charging a smartphone can cause explosion.
First of all, there no such a thing as over charging a smartphone. The name SMARTPHONE is not just for mouth. Smartphones are really smart. Once the phone charges to 100%, it shuts itself off from any other incoming current. Even if u like leave it there for 1yr it will take no more charge. The worst that could happen it that ur charger may get burnt if it is not a smart charger.
So leaving ur phone plugged in even when fully charged can not cause any explosion unless u are using fake phone with fake charger.

This is a mischievous attempt to dent the image of Android, for God sake iPhones do explode too...

Electric charge is responsible for the explosion and it is due to poor earthing while filling those gas cylinder. When in operation, an earth cable is necessary.


I recently saw a video of an explosion in a kitchen and I concluded that gas build up inside the oven compartment was the cause.

From the explosion, one could see that it started from that area and it is because there might have been a leakage in the gas pipe within and around the stove that accumulated in the oven compartment which became very volatile as a result of the heat from the burner

What to do? Always endeavour to check the pipe transporting the gas to the stove and even if you don't use the oven, try to leaven it open from time to time

The problem with our society is that people with little or no knowledge claim to be experts.
