My SM-N930V (Verizon Wireless) was made in Korea, with a manufacture date of 8-10-16. It has a Snapdragon 820 CPU.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Semseddin:
I got both dualsim and single sim versions returned, all exynos. Never really checked where it was made but i will post some info about the flawed device before i send it to repairs tomorrow.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsiglas:
And so what?

Mine is 930FD DUOS manufacture Vietnam...

Doesn't matter..with Samsung we are all going to burn in hell...xaxaxaxa
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
A 20% failure rate.... really?! That would be some crazy bad quality assurance from Samsung.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gekkehenkie11:
So does anyone know of have heard of somebody's battery exploding ? I'm not sure what to think of that 0.1% chance (1 in 1000). That means that 1 in 1000 possibly can explode but how likely is that ?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] californiarailroader:
I was just posting it for info.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] tsiglas:
At this moment the recall of deliveries (not devices) in most of Europe is a fact and it's real...so there's something going on...

We all have to seat and wait...
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cc999:
Unreal

Well Samsung's stock just dropped 7 billion dollars!

My advise is to return the device while you can for full refund and look at the

new Nexus Devices. This is unacceptable. And let's not forget the price tag of 849 dollars US.

How ridiculous. Its already been disclosed that the Korean Note7's use batteries that appear exclusive to that market. So it sucks for the Koreans but the OMG! crowd can chill as it applies to the rest of the world. At least for now.

Samsung concluded that the faulty batteries are to blame for the explosions. Samsung SDI is the group within Samsung that makes batteries for the Galaxy Note 7. That is, Samsung SDI produces the battery cell, but the battery pack production is outsourced to other firms. Korean ITM Semiconductor produces the battery pack for the Galaxy Note 7’s that are sold in Korea. ITM’s batteries seem to have been the ones that exploded. Meanwhile, most phones sold in China are going to have battery packs from Chinese company Amperex Technology.

I'm having different problems with my Note 7. Already had 1 replaced left to home button there was some screen pealing of some kind. It was very very small (sorry no pics). Normally, I would've let it slide but given the issue another person had with the whole front coming off, it got me thinking. Past issues also with other phones convinced me to act on it now while I'm still within 14 day period.

Bad luck. The second phone this time has SIM card detection problem. I have to reinsert it a few times for it to pickup when i first got it. Today while in middle of using it, it lost detection again. I called T-mobile right away again and this time said its a "known issue, we're working with samsung, we'll check back with you in 5 days". They couldn't get my old SIM on my note 3 reactivated either. BS. I was able to get the sim to detect again but so far I'm calling shenanigans. I'm not finding threads yet regarding this SIM lost detection issue. I have a case number but I'll call again later to make sure.

Regarding battery, I did notice my phone getting warm when I charge it while it's off but cools off once its 100% while still plugged in. Given the previous report with USB-C cables frying computers, I don't trust any other cheap cable and only use the one supplied.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] vegasdiceshooter:
Bad deal for Samsung but they rush to get these phones to market and this is what happens, they said they are going to replace the batteries since this is a sealed phone that means that they are giving out new phones instead. The bottom line for me is no more Samsung for me next phone is the google htc

Samsung will reportedly issue worldwide recall of Galaxy Note 7

http://www.theverge.com/2016/9/1/12759912/samsung-galaxy-note-7-recall
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rickdaddy:
The recall may be announced globally.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] zippyijk:
Just an addition to Thor's reply earlier and I can confirm that Three Ireland sent out a text message at 18:10 Irish time requesting that due to a Samsung reported safety concern that all Note 7 should be powered down and you should contact three.ie/chat for return of device. Full refund would be issued.

I did so and they told me on chat...a pre written message obviously....

"Samsung has reported a battery safety issue on its Galaxy Note 7 phones. Although this has been reported as affecting a very small percentage of the devices shipped, it does require the return of all Galaxy Note 7 phones, including the one shipped to you this week. Please provide us with an alternative contact number so we can contact you tomorrow with further details as to how you can return the phone. A full refund will be provided."

Did they jump the gun? I dunno. But they've left me and their other customers a position where we don't really have an option but to turn our phones off in case something happens. We'd be screwed if something happened after getting that from them :(
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] naturecannon:
Damn and i just filed an insurance claim with asurion because I cracked my screen. No wonder asurion told me this morning "note 7 on back order. Looks like my note is getting replaced regardless, hopefully I can stop the claim.

By the way, watch out for glass, its breaks way too easy. Not sure how mine broke, shattered near the volume buttons in a case and behind an un-damage Verizon SP.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] californiarailroader:
Until, and if Verizon contacts me, I'm not going to worry. This has yet to even be confirmed by Samsung, and doesn't look like it affects any North American (Snapdragon) models.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ptfdmedic:
Actually, Samsung has confirmed it's a faulty battery.... I'm not sure the processor has anything to do with it.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] whoofit:
I would expect this effect from the Snapdragon because that is what dragons do. Quote from Qualcomm "So look beyond your mobile device's beautiful exterior and make sure it has the heart of a dragon. "

If it is confined to Korea then we can blame N. Korea of course....
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] radioraheem2:
Oh, stop making excuses for Samsung. Literally hundreds of million of the people use third party cables on their phones without problems everyday. Official first party cables from the likes of Apple and Samsung usually cost double or triple other brands. These cables literally cost like 75 cents to make in the first place. First party accessories are always absurdly overpriced.

And that "cheap China" comment. I'm 90% certain all your official Samsung cables and headphones are made in China. For that matter so are all apple products.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Really does all sound like hysteria so far. We've had a few phones go on fire under unknown circumstances and there's mass panic and share prices plummeting etc. We really need to wait on a official Samsung statement as to what's going on,it may even be possible to identify the affected phones. Over all it sounds like Samsung are being super cautious to cover their own asses.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] LinS123:
I'm not defending them. The fact that the batteries can explode is an issue that Samsung themselves have confirmed in a certain number of units. But at the same time phones from other manufacturers also have complete battery melt downs. I don't see them doing a full recall for consumer safety. Instead they just throw the 3rd party power adapter excuse.

And there are "cheap" Chinese items that will destroy your electronics. Especially USB Type-C cables that don't follow spec or just use really shoddy materials. It has been documented by Benson Leung and his poor Pixel-C. Not to mention certain power "cheap" 3rd party power adapters are laughably made and don't actually follow the specifications that the manufacturers themselves print on the adapter itself.

I do agree that first party accessories are way overpriced though; which is why I use 3rd party cables (Anker, Choetech, etc).
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] radioraheem2:
Hi, first i would like to apologize for my initial response to you, i just re-read it and i think it came off a bit rude and accusatory. that wasn't my intent.

you make fair points about the USB-C cables, which draw a lot of power and require specific specs.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] LinS123:
It's all cool. At this point I'm wondering how Samsung is going to handle this issue. They sold a crazy amount of phones and I personally don't think a full scale recall is feasible.

The way people are reporting this issue is really blowing it out proportion. Yes, there is an issue and yes they have acknowledged it and are (hopefully) working on a fix that does not affect every Note 7 user in a bad way. Cause I currently don't have a spare phone on me and losing the Note 7 for an unspecified amount of time is going to hurt.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
Exactly! I just switched providers, and the Note 7 is my only phone. I highly doubt the carriers would have enough loaner phones to go around, and I certainly don't want to be paying them full price if I get a crappy LG X Power or Moto E or something as a loaner for 3-4 weeks.

We don't know what, if anything, is going to happen yet, so I'm just taking a wait and see approach. I'm using my Samsung charger with Tronsmart USB Type-C cables right now. These are high quality cables, and I'm not too worried.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jspinnow:
Waiting for official word

I have read half a dozen news sites. The seem to inflate the story.

Other then the halt of shipments, we don't have an official word.

A guy that wants to remain anonymous is not official word.

I see a lot of trolling.

Like the other fellow here, until my carrier says something. I will charge up before

I go to sleep with my official Samsung charge plate or the charger that came with it.

Charge it again in the morning while I am having coffee.

A global recall would be a real inconvenience.

I still suspect 3rd party chargers to blame. Straight 220v could be enough to do it.

If its batteries, it might be localized to regions. Given different subcontractors are often used on the batteries.

then its look at the invoice and match serial numbers.

If its the charge port, uugghhhh.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gavinfabl:
I agree, all sites using same source and adding some hype. So this is really the position , whereby I have checked myself with CPW, Samsung, O2 and others.

https://gavinsgadgets.com/2016/09/0...bal-product-recall-due-to-exploding-handsets/
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
Just to add to that, CPW (UK) have sent my N7 out, despatched on Thursday evening and it's now at my local courier hub out for delivery in 3 hours. As much as they say they halted deliveries, some have went out.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] THS1989:
Yeah Full scale recall is going to be next to impossible..... Think how many people won't get the message or will ignore it.

Also the cost of a full recall...

They really should isolate the issue to affected units, then offer replacements.

They might try to offer repairs (battery swaps at service centers) but I would be pissed if that happens to me because I don't want some idiot messing up the waterproofing on my phone or putting even a single hairline scratch on it.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jmitr:
Sorry, missed the "That I have sold" part. I thought you were throwing out some really random ratio. I was too busy thinking why not say 2/10 or 20% why 6/30?

My mistake!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bajaj:
Samsung Indonesia delayed the shipment of Preordered N7, just 2 days before due date. It should be sent on Sept 1st, but postponed to 17th. The official reason was supply constraint. If supply is indeed the reason, the delay should have not impacted all order. However, the delay was applied to everyone. They sent email, called and sent SMS blast. A compensation was promised, but not detailed yet.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] torickray:
Why don't you use the oem charger and test it. I'm using it and no overheat issue. Maybe ur charger is the problem.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Manojas:
Shipments in India have been deferred . No date as of now as to when we would get N7 .
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] torickray:
Has been using note 7 for 2 weeks. No overheat issue so far. Always charge overnight. Using oem charger and cable only. Good thing about pre order is I got free wireless charge and a set of traveller's charger kit and also Samsung powerbank which came with a microusb-usb c adapter. I really like this phone. Based on the amount of phone sold, the incident reported are relatively small, and some picture showed third party cable. If can buy an expensive phone like note 7, why can't get a oem charger and cable for it. And it already got one out of the box, just use it.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] kat3k:
I've been using a wireless charger for a while, which would rule out any cable problems, and the first thing I did after reading this article was turn off fast charging. Phone doesn't even get warm when charging. Aside from exploding, I would think this might be good for the long term battery function anyway. There's a lot in the news about a possible recall, but US carriers are still selling it. The problem could be overblown, and I certainly hope it doesn't result in a universal recall. It reminds me of Apple's problem with their first gen Nano, which also caught on fire. Seven generations later, they're still replacing them, and seem to have survived the crisis.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] californiarailroader:
I'm just talking, it does seem to be the international models so far though, that's why I was wondering if it might have something to do with the chipset/cpu and how they interact with the battery.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Señor Sjon:
CoolBlue, one of the biggest retailers in the Netherlands state to pre-orders that it will arrive 'somewhere in October'. Bol.com, another big one, has put it at 31-10-2016. In the meantime, the N4 is sold out, so we have a barren 3 months without N-series phones for sale.

That makes this one of the worst phone releases I've ever seen. Trying to get the phone to market before Apple, make it largely the same as the S7E and still make such a mess of it.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mr.purple:
I just saw the same here in Belgium with Coolblue and Bol.com.

Shame I already ordered a sh*tload of covers for it.

Samsung Electronics says to halt Galaxy Note 7 sales on battery problem
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] billyhaha:
How can I know if there are problems ？

Have any sign？
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonboyuk:
Dammit! I wonder what I'm gonna do in the interim as I don't have a spare device :/
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] californiarailroader:
That link isn't working.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonboyuk:
There's an official statement from the horses mouth here too.

I wonder what the turnaround will be.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] joaodrp:
"For customers who already have Galaxy Note7 devices, we will voluntarily replace their current device with a new one over the coming weeks."

So it seems that they will not recall but rather replace our phones with new ones? I wounder what would be quicker, waiting for it or returning the phone to the store and wait to buy a new one from them.... Any guesses?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jak341:
Straight out of the Samsung official press release,

"For customers who already have Galaxy Note7 devices, we will voluntarily replace their current device with a new one over the coming weeks."

No recall and refurbishment, just a straight up exchange for a new device.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Semseddin:
Np buddy. 30 is an approx number. However 6 units returned. The faulty device is made in Vietnam if that ever matters. Here is a photo from download mode.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nzy:
Will they replace rooted phones?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] BozQ:
Oh well. That sucks. My telco just alerted us about the recall. It's really happening.

Guess it's time to start backing up and resetting the phone.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tuffcheez:
Gives me time to check out the LG V20! ?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jonboyuk:
I'd say yes, although I have nothing to quantify that.

If it exploded, they couldn't say "well it was rooted, so tough", they wouldn't be able to tell. Therefore logic suggests they will replace every single one.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Semseddin:
Np buddy. 30 was an approx number but 6 units returned. Anyway here is photo from bootloader mode from one of the faulty note 7 before sending to repairs. It is made in Vietnam if it matters.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] les_garten:
Wow, didn't see this coming

About 2 weeks to replace all devices apparently. Not too bad, I just hope mine doesn't explode in the interim :eek:

Any idea how to figure out if your unite has a Korean or other battery?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Batfink33:
No, Samsung said it was difficult for them to tell which devices got which batteries.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ptfdmedic:
It's all over the news now. They've recalled the Note 7 worldwide.... I don't think anything like this has happened before...
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] californiarailroader:
I'm just waiting for Verizon to contact me, I'm sure they will soon, though it'd be later next week at the soonest, as Monday is a holiday (Labor Day) here in the US, and people will start what is the last holiday weekend of the summer asap today.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] notefreak:
It is a scandal if you ask me. Personally I am peed off at Samsung right now. You'd think they do some testing before they ship the phone out. It is bad enough that the phone is released so late after anouncemtn, now this. My mobile provider has not replied to me yet and I just got the phone yesterday and now another wait will happen before I get one that is 100% not a ticking time bomb...
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ptfdmedic:
I agree. Personally, I'd love to see them slow the cycle down a bit. Bring out a new phone every other year. I know my wallet would appreciate it. Lol

Hi guys im from Greece...I own 10 days now a Samsung galaxy note 7 duos Vietnam versions and today i speak with Samsung Greece about MY device they take all imei,serial,product date manufacturing etc and they told me to close the device and wait for respond from them....they told me twice NOT to use the phone any more...i have told them that I have bought the phone from Dubai "FROM.AE " and I have no guarantee here in Europe and they dont know yet how to manage this situations
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] californiarailroader:
They do, but they get many parts, like the battery from suppliers, suppliers that are also supposed to check things. That said, these things do happen, and bad apples do sometimes slip through the cracks. Samsung is acting as quickly as they can, the logistics of this is no doubt a nightmare for those involved.

When I got my note 4 the oem charger lasted 2 months, before it blew up. It was a bit of a problem back then if I remember right.

Phone got awful hot using it too. Got one of ali, same charge rate, doesnt send my phone hot and have used it for 16 months. So go figure.

Kind of reminds me of the exploding hover board event.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] zonkkk:
When I got my Galaxy S4, my battery started to swell after 30 days... I contacted Samsung, they said send phone to us and we'll have a look. It was a known problem then too... I just got an Anker battery and continued as if nothing happened... not possible with this one...
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] thedicemaster:
you found a 3rd party 9 volt USB charger?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AllGamer:
well, seems like Samsung is taking it serious enough, to actually issue a recall order.

Now even Canadian news and Telcos are talking about it

Sending it back today, which is great, wasn't too happy about the phone, too many missing features, I was planning to return it regardless :D

These saves me the trouble of answering the typical question "Why are you returning it?" :p
