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.

China phone plus fake charger equals disaster.

I'm not surprised.

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

Buy Original phone brands, stop buying all these China brands with mediocre components embedded inside the phone

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

Unfortunately you learnt the hard way.


Sorry Chap

pictures OR?

a 2014/2015 Samsung, Sony, lg,htc is better than a weak, frail,sensitive, infinix, tecno and etc of 2019/2020 with no surge control, over charge control.if its sony, the phone won't charge if the power is higher or lower than normal

lol... obviously

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...

Enlightened me maybe there's a new meaning I don't know of

Overnight charging is the best

Op goan buy stabilizer

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...

Infinix na phone....mtheww

Bros Throw way anything called infinity.... try get a confirmed phone

you mean?

Always plug your charger to a Voltage regulator! it's not that hard!

buy an original charger for good results don't plug your phone when it overheats

Tecno, infinix and their kinds na apology.
I rather use a 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

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

baba4thegehs:

original equipment by manufacturer.

ok

[/b]Danger of under charging your phone overnight[b]

Radiation from 10% battery is far worse than an uranium salt beside you.
So bro......find another talk.
Thanks
