Sorry, no offense was intended. If I came off aggressively, it's because I honestly misunderstood your tone and the events. Apologies.

It's quite possible that AT&T simply has poor coverage where your girlfriend is, or that her building is blocking/interfering with GSM signals (CDMA tends to perform better indoors).

IIRC, it's some of the chemicals in the battery reacting with the air. I'd say it's lithium oxide, but lithium oxide is white. :P May also be a silicon compound of some sort.
