I thought it was going to be the first exploding case that happened during gaming, not chaging. Turns out it was just a wrong-conviction because apple azz-wipe was on rampage publishing news to take their rival down.

They are just mad Sammy didn't pay them nothing.

Edit: oh, and at that time, Apple forgot about NBC.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] apprentice:
So it was a Galaxy Core. Well actually that's worse news! The press will attach it to every Note 7 story giving the impression that ALL Samsung products are at risk and are dangerous. Given how gullible the public are this will be dire for Samsung.

.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] hoursenghong:
That's true. Media like to spread biased stuff. No phone is perfectly safe if used stupidly...or it was intentionally.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ooMoo:
I got tired at work and decided to have a rant and phoned Samsung support. Asking what im meant to do as they have said to turn the device off yet i have nothing else to use. There reply was its a voluntary recall they won't offer a loan device and i can probably keep using the phone. Till the 19th when it will be replaced. I pointed out that another call i received said the 3rd October? To which they said they dont know. I could keep using it though it was hinted that this was at my own risk. I pointed out the recall was no longer voluntary if they are sending out popups on the screen telling you to turn the device off. The person then read from the same script we got emailed and told me nothing useful. I asked to escalate it to a manager and was told there not available and that's where the call ended.

So i guess i join the list of unhappy Samsung return customer's

Thanks man. I have just send a message using the link. Lets see what they will do. Obviously they cannot force us to travel to another country just to return a defective device. This is a Samsung problem, so they have to solve it, not us.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] macawmatt:
In some ways I feel sorry for the stores once it gets out that stores have these sitting in their back rooms, they are going to get hammered. Everyone who has one who has to get it replaced, and then anyone else who doesn't have one yet and still wants the Note 7. Just hope my guy is working the day its announced so that he can hold me my pair of blues.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] notefreak:
Well, for me it is quite remarkable and unacceptable that some people already got their phones, while others will have to wait over 2 months.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] macawmatt:
They can't replace every phone in the same day. If you are in the US, our government, reasoning that they are protecting us, will be the reason for the delay

And there we have it folks. US notes are gonna be a while thanks to our good old Uncle Sam now.

I just order an Iphone 7Plus (first since the 4s) with a prayer that my note is replaced by the time apple even has stock of the jet black or Google swoops in on Tuesday with the Pixel Xl and saves the day. Doubtful for sure.

Guess I need to move to SoHo, get some skinny jeans and a pair of AirPods to match my rainbow tat and man bun.

I didn't see any new information in that article, did I miss it?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
Nope. There's nothing there about the CPSC, or the timing of the recall process, that wasn't already announced last week.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] macawmatt:
Same information, different presenter. Be nice to know for sure if the CPSC is waiting to review, or if they were just giving guidance to Samsung. Big difference in how soon we might see the phones. Initial talk for US carriers was this week.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] bayniner:
Eh the media likes to blow everything out of proportion, i love my note 7 and will continue using it until i can get a replacement or i notice any issues the battery heating up, i only charge my device for about an hour a night and it doesn't even get warm. Besides target has made it clear that all i can do is exchange it for another device but then if the 14 day return window passes i can not exchange it back when they get new notes in. If i wanted an s7 or s7 edge i would of got that from the start
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] awright214:
my only concern now is that there is a persistent story about a software update coming to limit the battery to 60%. My N7 has been excellent. I just came over from iOS specifically for the note 7.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Novarider:
Where do these rumors come from? How would they tell the difference between new and old devices?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Fishdj:
As long as yours is of local carriers then you should be fine once you get a replacement. They are only limiting the faulty Notes.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] macawmatt:
On top of that, the first story I read mentioned that Samsung was only targeting South Korea for the update, at the moment anyway.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Dmac1984:
Welp, Visited my local Best Buy today, and as usual completely pointless. They claim to have no way to "Reserve" priority for the new Note 7's even if you currently have a Note 7 in your possession, which goes against Samsung's safety and safety of the customer in general. Further more, they offer no loaner phone, they will take my phone, but wont give me one to use in the meantime, so basically they're saying "if you want the Note 7 again, you will have to hold on to that one, hope it doesn't explode, and hope you get a chance to grab a new one when we get them" .... I told dude he's full of it and argued but ultimately too tired to go a full round with him, I could tell by the look in his face he was making it all up and didn't expect me to be semi educated on how this is all supposed to go. He also blubbered "2-4 weeks for replacements" then he said "probably 1-3 weeks, but from the date of the original recall it was supposed to be 1-3 weeks but now probably 2-4, but probably within 2 weeks" ... he was just throwing out numbers trying to look on top of things, which is par for the course with Best Buy Mobile and Best Buy Samsung Employees.

Anyways, needless to say i still have my Note 7, which I'm okay with.

So then I go over to the Samsung section and an actual Samsung Rep was there, not Best Buy's Samsung Dummies they have trolling around, and the guy was pretty informative (whether or not he was talking out his butt, I'm not sure yet, guess we'll see) But he said last week they physically had new Note 7's in store, he specifically mentioned Verizon Note 7's (I'm on AT&T) but upon starting to sell them with customers waiting in line, they were told to STOP SELLING THEM IMMEDIATELY! Because the CPSC got their hands on the issue and halted everything. But did say they should have their hands on the new stock NEXT WEEK, I know, I know its been next week for the last 2 weeks, but what can ya do, chances are this guy is just throwing numbers in an attempt to deflect an irritated customer too, but he seemed to have more knowledge then the Best Buy Minions walking around half-high looking.

Guess we'll see.

Everyone who gets to exchange 1:1 is lucky. I had to turn in the phone and was given no guarantee when I get the new one. 3-6 weeks, that is all I know.

Here in the US, atleast here in Dallas, Sprint stores are advising N7 consumers to hold on to their phones that a shipment is coming. Samsung is urging consumers to return the phones. Conflict of interest. What do we do?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] demon510:
Verizon in Frisco told me the same thing.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jmitr:
Canada has now also officially issued a government recall and advising powering the phones down and returning them. Samsung Canada has the same thing on their site.

The problem is for those of us who purchased directly drom Samsung and chose (via the web registration) a new note. Samsung refuses to take the phones back saying we MUST wait for the new one to arrive and then send the new one back via the supplied return box.

I am getting sick of websites and blogs complaining of "holdouts" when I am being told by Samsung to "hold out"
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] GibMcFragger:
Same thing here. "You already registered? Then you can't return it. It's not a recall anyways, it's a voluntary exchange, just keep using it".

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] WilliamTech7:
Samsung recall..

Samsung aired a software update for temporary fix..

According to the news on itechpost.com

"Samsung's software solution is designed to keep users who have not yet returned or swapped their Samsung Galaxy Note 7 after the Samsung's voluntary product recall safe from harm. This software update, upon installation in the device, will cap the battery's recharge capacity at 60 percent only which will hopefully prevent the phone from overheating. In most cases where the Note 7 burst into flames, the battery has been charging and possibly close to reaching 100 percent capacity."

Would it fix the problem? It looks like it is just a temporary fix as it says. I am just using my galaxy note 7 even after knowing the issue. I just like the design and how the software works fast.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] hoursenghong:
Even if the battery is supposed get connected to the outlet for short period of time, people still neglect, and keep the phone there for as long as they want. Which mean nothing is different.

Instead, people will charge it more regularly. I used to charge like once every 1.5 day, now what about other people when battery is only 60?? More risk I can say. But I could be wrong.

New York: Don't use your Galaxy Note 7 on the subway

The MTA is asking commuters to leave their pre-recall Samsung phones turned off.

Samsung just can't catch a break. On top of aviation regulators and safety officials warning against using pre-recall versions of the Galaxy Note 7, New York's Metropolitan Transportation Authority now says that Note 7 owners are "urged" against using or charging their phone on buses and trains. You should turn it off before entering the station, the MTA says. This isn't a formal ban, but it's safe to say that you'll be a persona non grata if the Authority catches you using the fire-prone handset on the subway.

There haven't been any reported fires on MTA rides. This is really more of a precautionary measure than anything. However, it illustrates the increasing fear surrounding the Note 7. Despite the relatively low number of fires, institutions don't want to take any chances -- they'd rather issue blanket warnings (or in some cases, bans) than risk an incident on their home turf.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Eagle 3:
After people get replacements for their Note 7, how are airlines, trains etc. going to know that their Note 7 is safe to use? Or will the Note 7 be banned forever?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] notefreak:
Well, in this case I think either people get the OTA, that makes them "safe" or their IMEIs could indeed get banned. So I don't think rooting and romming is a good idea. The best idea is to return the devices or get your money back, really.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] taiseer999:
I also wonder how are we going to get passed security checks with the new N7s in the interim (as new replaced notes are in our hands) and latter on as every note with an old battery is removed from the consumers hands?

I just received my Note 7 replacement from courier, kinda blown away as the first Canada exchange email said they were shipping on the 12th, then the day after said the 15th (today) so I assumed it was an inventory issue but I just signed off the package now and am pretty impressed. Had to run out to a meeting so I'll get it set up later but that's my testimony for the thread at least.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jongilluley:
I'm thinking the big delay in the US seems to be because the government have gotten involved.. .

Here in the UK O2 (network provider) have sent out replacements since 12th September!

I received mine on Monday in the first batch and people are receiving them this weekend and next week as well.

The big difference? The UK government haven't gotten involved in the recall whereas the US one have.

Welp, Just got back from Best Buy once again, this time KNOWING there is a reserve option instead of insisting that there more than likely is one or SHOULD be one. And of course immediately told ... you guessed it "Nope" ... But i said, "that's BS, make a phone call or something" and dude did.

* Now I will say as a side note I dealt with this Mobile rep a few weeks ago with Returning my old phone back to AT&T so I didn't get billed for it, and the guy was patient and helpful so they do exist, they're just rare at BB I guess.

Anyways, after a few minutes of him talking to someone at BB corporate on the phone, he was told that I was in fact correct and the guy started the process.

I walked out print a print out as well as an e-mail stating my reservation of my new Note 7. So that's progress.

But before I left the counter, the Beautiful Samsung girl who is always a pleasure to chop it up with whenever I go to Best Buy, came over and we chatted about the whole situation and she agrees that it's been blown out of proportion and they're basically waiting on the CSPC to give the go ahead and the replaced Note 7's are already in stock sitting in the cabinet behind them ... even a guy being helped next to me chimed in and said "I was on a plane yesterday and the Captain said over the loud speaker that if anyone has a Note 7 they need to power it down etc."

*** And the Samsung girl said (take this with a grain of salt, although she was being a pretty straight-shooter about the whole thing) that she got a memo that all the district's BB's were taking a conference call about the Note 7 today and that could mean they could be available tomorrow for all she know, But according to her also, memos she's read as well as what she's heard from her higher-up's is that, this weekend was when all is SUPPOSED to be cleared and they can start swapping them. There was more to the convo but that's basically the jist of it.

I know this isn't definitive or new information, but information none the less, because up until this point all I've been told is "I don't know anything about when we'll get them in" so it's something.

Lets hope this weekend we get that call!
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] lilsalmon:
I can confirm that info above as well. I stopped in at lunch with the new (you can get a loaner phone info in hand) Talked to the two folks I know are in the know and they stated the same. That they actually have some of the new Note 7.2s or 7s or whatever you want to call them sitting in stock since last week but are waiting on the go ahead. He did say they didn't get a 'ton' of them however a 'ton' should be here in the next day or so. He mentioned the conference call and also said that he was hearing either tomorrow or the 19th. I told him I wasnt going to go through the loaner process if it was just a few days away. If we get into next week I may reconsider but its looking like soon.

My honest opinion is if the US Gov did not get involved we would have had them already.
