(a) The software failure incident related to a Samsung phone exploding in Indonesia is not the fault of Samsung this time. The incident involved a Samsung Grand Duos model released in 2013, where the phone exploded in a man's left breast pocket, causing minor burns. Samsung clarified that the battery used in the device was not manufactured by Samsung or a company authorized by Samsung, indicating that the issue did not originate from their products [64418].
(b) The article mentions a previous incident involving Samsung where the Galaxy Note 7 faced problems with explosions, leading to a recall of the device. This indicates that similar incidents related to phone explosions have happened before with Samsung products [64418]. |
| Phase (Design/Operation) |
operation |
(a) The software failure incident in the article is not related to the development phase, such as design issues introduced during system development or updates.
(b) The software failure incident in the article is related to the operation phase. The incident occurred when the victim, Yulianto, was using his Samsung phone with Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth features concurrently, which may have contributed to the combustion of the device [64418]. |
| Boundary (Internal/External) |
outside_system |
(a) within_system: The software failure incident in the article is not directly related to a software issue within the system itself. The incident involved a Samsung phone exploding in a man's pocket, but it was determined that the battery used in the device was not manufactured by Samsung or a company authorized by Samsung. This indicates that the failure was not due to an internal software issue within the Samsung device but rather an external factor related to the battery used [64418]. |
| Nature (Human/Non-human) |
non-human_actions, human_actions |
(a) The software failure incident in this case was not directly related to non-human actions. The incident involved a Samsung phone exploding in a man's pocket, causing him minor burns. The root cause was identified as the battery used in the device, which was not manufactured by Samsung or a company authorized by Samsung. This indicates that the failure was due to a faulty battery rather than non-human actions [64418].
(b) On the other hand, human actions did play a role in the software failure incident. The article mentions that the victim, Yulianto, was using Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth features concurrently when the phone exploded. This suggests that the simultaneous use of these features by the user might have contributed to the combustion of the phone. Therefore, human actions, such as the way the phone was being used at the time of the incident, were contributing factors to the failure [64418]. |
| Dimension (Hardware/Software) |
hardware |
(a) The software failure incident in the article is related to hardware. The incident involved a Samsung phone exploding in a man's pocket, causing his shirt to catch fire. The explosion was attributed to the battery used in the device, which was not manufactured by Samsung or a company authorized by Samsung. The article mentions that the victim may have contributed to the combustion by using Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth features concurrently [64418]. |
| Objective (Malicious/Non-malicious) |
non-malicious |
The software failure incident described in Article 64418 is non-malicious. The incident involved a Samsung phone exploding in a man's pocket, causing minor burns. The root cause was identified as the battery used in the device not being manufactured by Samsung or an authorized company. This indicates that the failure was not due to malicious intent but rather a non-malicious issue related to the use of unauthorized components in the device [64418]. |
| Intent (Poor/Accidental Decisions) |
unknown |
The software failure incident reported in Article 64418 is not related to poor or accidental decisions. Instead, the incident involved a Samsung phone exploding due to the use of a non-Samsung or unauthorized battery, leading to the phone catching fire [64418]. |
| Capability (Incompetence/Accidental) |
accidental |
(a) The incident mentioned in the article is not related to a software failure caused by development incompetence. The issue with the Samsung phone exploding was attributed to the battery used in the device, which was not manufactured by Samsung or a company authorized by Samsung [64418].
(b) The software failure incident in the article can be categorized as accidental. The explosion of the Samsung phone was not directly caused by a fault in the software or development incompetence but rather by the use of a non-Samsung authorized battery, which led to the combustion when the victim was using Wi-Fi, GPS, and Bluetooth features concurrently [64418]. |
| Duration |
unknown |
The article does not mention any software failure incident related to a permanent or temporary duration. |
| Behaviour |
other |
(a) crash: The incident described in the article does not involve a crash of the software system. Instead, it is related to a physical issue with the phone's battery causing it to explode and catch fire [64418].
(b) omission: There is no indication in the article that the software system omitted to perform its intended functions at any instance. The focus of the incident is on the battery-related explosion and fire in the phone [64418].
(c) timing: The failure incident is not related to the system performing its intended functions too late or too early. The issue is specifically tied to the battery used in the device, which was not manufactured by Samsung or an authorized company, leading to the combustion [64418].
(d) value: The software failure incident is not attributed to the system performing its intended functions incorrectly. The problem lies with the battery used in the device, which was not a genuine or approved battery designed for Samsung products [64418].
(e) byzantine: The incident does not exhibit characteristics of a byzantine failure where the system behaves erroneously with inconsistent responses and interactions. The root cause is identified as the use of a non-Samsung battery in the device, leading to the explosion and fire [64418].
(f) other: The behavior of the software failure incident in this case is not directly related to the typical software failure categories mentioned. The incident is primarily a hardware issue involving the battery of the Samsung phone, which was not manufactured by Samsung or an authorized company, leading to the combustion [64418]. |
