Charging your device over night safe?
My mom just saw a news headline that said some girl died because her iPhone exploded while charging. On top of that the news had a few pictures of other victims. Now she wants me to not charge my phone on my bed stand because its too close to my bed…
Is my mom just overly paranoid or is taking such precautions necessary?
Very recently, there was a story about a girl in a bathtub who died picking up her phone while it was charging in the bathroom.
Half of Americans charge their phone on their bed stand. There's nothing to be concerned about. I have never heard of an exploding cellphone. Your mom is being overly paranoid.
Headline from two days ago:

Your phones made to be safe when charging and made to not overheat when plugged in and fully charged it's a 1 in one million chance it'll blow up or catch on fire
About 1 billion iphones have been produced, this is the first explosion I have heard of so 1 per billion risk. I would risk it, but then again I drink glasses of water!

- Why does charging an iPhone over night hurt it, and how can I help it? Okay. Does my battery die quickly because I charge it over night? And does it kinda mess it up? I've heard it does that. If so, then how and when do I charge my iPhone? How can I make it so my battery life lasts longer?
- How do you stop calls coming from one device coming to your device from iCloud (apple iPhone)? I'm 13 and i don't have a credit card so i use my mums account and since my phone and her phone has the same icloud, her calls come into MY phone and i've tried making a new apple id but it won't work so how can i stop it (i've already logged out on my phone) so how can i stop it?
- My iPhone 4S keeps turning off over and over and over again? I was on my phone just listening to OM&M on pandora and going on twitter when all of a sudden it shut off and now it's stuck on the turning off screen for like an hour or two. What do i do I'm FREAKING OUT.
