Apparently, the Samsung Galaxy S4 battery swelling issue is becoming a fairly widespread issue. Customers started complaining about overheating, endurance degradation, and swelling of the battery. The problem has grown to affect nearly 30% of users by one estimate. Samsung has acknowledged the issue and is actually now offering replacements for those affected.

We are aware of this issue, which has affected a limited number of customers. We ask all affected customers to please visit their nearest Samsung Electronics service centre, where they can receive a replacement battery for free of charge.

I'll check my wife's this afternoon when we get home from work. My DroidX's battery swelled and damaged the screen.

Hmm, good to know. I don't recall coming across any of my customers with this issue, but at least I can give them a solution

My Note N7000 replace 4 times in 2 years due to swelling. Why? Cause I do irregular charging

Blame me on flashing daily and tweaking
