The article is not coming up for me. The problem is Chinese made replacement chargers. They are designed to charge the battery faster. Think about it?

I only use my computer , American bought replacement charger and the charger that came with the phone. And I make sure she does also.

Playing games on the phone while talking to the bf... surely THAT was what the problem was!

Can you imagine the panic that would erupt all over the country if that was discovered the real cause...

(Though, TBH, I suspect the real problem was the crappy wiring in the apartment! That's why students aren't allowed to have such electrical devices in their dorms)
