This bad news for the NOKIA users,bcoz First in BL-5c,then now in 4-c,Tomorrow it will be i 6c or in others,it is really a big problem against mobile users,bcoz this problems starts with a very highly branded company NOKIA,then what will be for the other companies,i think that in future it will may be starts in the others,this would be dangerous for the people/environment in many ways.

The fundamental technology behind the present generation of Lithium-ion cells - the batteries that power nearly every laptop computer and mobile phone in the world - is inherently dangerous and must be changed to ensure safety, according to experts.

don't worry. all other brands are safe as of now! its only your "highly branded" company - nokia (now whatever that means!) which is facing the problem!

Dude firstly let me make you very clear.. The BL-5C battery never exploded. It was just hyped by 3 grade news channels like aajtak and India TV.... See NDTV English or Times now they just reported problems of overheating. Also Nokia had issued ADs next day in all newspapers and in that too, it reported problem of overheating that too only in 100 cases not all.. And Nokia clearly mentioned that it is just a product ADVISORY and not a product RECALLl but it will still be issuing FREE batteries...

And I think this BL-4C issue too is just hyped by the media !! What else these AajTak guys can do !!

@ prakash bro, some report says a welder died 3 hours after the explosion. the explosion damaged his reproductory organ coz he was keeping his cell in his trouser pocket! this is the main reason for all this chaotic issue.


WARNING: for nokia BL-xx series users, please avoid keeping ur cell in trouser pocket.

Guys.... is there any connection with Matshita and Matsushita? Cause if there is, then it will explain why my Matshita DVD drives (of my laptop I mean), provided by HP, keep failing..... 4 replacements in one year....

I also know that these news channel overhype the things.
But they clearly showed a damaged battery.(It was not in it's regular shape & all the chemicals were running out.)
I didn't mean to say the battery explode,but there is chance always.

This news is not reported in all channels, but only a select few known to overhype any news. No newspapers here in Pune mentioned this incident. So can I really believe the news?? No!!

Ya dude that is for sure over-hyped by media, but regarding newspapers what you said I don't agree.. Me too live in Pune and the very next day TOI and Herald reported about this news. Also there was Nokia AD in both the newspaper separately. Whatever it might be, but this is for sure that the batteries never exploded.

And regarding what Aajtak showed about the leaked battery as someone said in this forum, buddy I just wanna say that it's 'AAJTAK' and it can do anything for news. Make it or FAKE it !!! That's what AAJTAK is

I know that the news about BL-5C battery was published in all the newspapers and shown on all the news channels. But this news is about another battery that is BL-4C which is stated to be exploding. I said I don't believe the news of BL-4C exploding not the news regarding any news of BL-5C. I myself own a phone that uses BL-5C and I have already checked for its any possible chances of being the one of the lots that is affected.
Regarding Aajtak you are totally correct!!
