之前，Galaxy S III 着火事件经过调查后，起火是由外在因素而起，手机跟起火完全无关。而该名用家 dillo2k10 亦在讨论区表示，收回原先的言论。
在 6月21日，在一个爱尔兰的讨论区上，一名 Galaxy S III 用家 dillo2k10 声称他的 Galaxy S III 放在车架上突然着火，外壳更被烧掉。dillo2k10 还贴了多张烧毁的 Galaxy S III 相片。
事件引起广泛流传和讨论，而 Samsung 亦委托了英国一个独立机构 Fire Investigations UK (FIUK) 进行调查。经过一轮测试和检查，得出结论是 “引起手机发热是来自外在能源”，”手机并不是起火的原因”。
The investigation summary states that “The energy source responsible for generating the heat has been determined as external to the device” and “the device was not responsible for the cause of the fire.”
而调查结果亦指出，要造成类似的损毁，需要将手机或手机的配件放进微波炉才可。
Additionally, the investigation results state, “The only way it was possible to produce damage similar to the damage recorded within the owner’s damaged device was to place the devices or component parts within a domestic microwave.”
收回言论
而另一方面，烧毁手机的用家 dillo2k10 在该爱尔兰讨论区表示，要收回原先的指控。dillo2k10 表示，手机的损毁是由其他人做成，他们希望将沾水的手机修复，而最终导致手机损毁。他更表示手机是没有任何问题的，他不可再作回应。
I would like to retract my original statement. The damage to the phone was caused by another person, although they were attempting to recover the phone from water this later caused the damage shown on the phone. It occurred due to a large amount of external energy and there was no fault with the phone. This was not a deliberate act but a stupid mistake.
I am unable to comment any further.
