My phone was bulging more and more in a span of weeks. I decided to open it and remove the battery, as most likely cause. While removing it from the heavy duty adhesive, I punctured it and a little black smoke came out. I immediately opened windows and turned on the HEPA air purifier. The battery bulge went away though, so I taped it to close the puncture and put it back in the phone. No fires, charges just fine, more than a month after. Many in this forum believe it should be thrown away.
Do you think it is still an hazard? What about flying with this phone, since air in planes may have more oxygen?
Thanks
