Fast charging? As I understand it - and I could be wrong - the problem isn't fast charging. it's people using unapproved USB-C cables and or chargers.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] omf05:
Seems to be a problem with the international models.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] aergern:
It's not that it's unapproved. It's that they are using cheap cables and chargers. We went through this crap with the OnePlus3 and Nexus 6P. Cheap chargers and cables can do damage.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] twe90kid:
Well, from the looks of it. Even Anker who is pretty reliable issued a recall for almost all their usb-c cables.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] -BoneZ-:
You're probably right. My Note 7 gets pretty warm when using fast-charge. And batteries don't like heat. So, since I don't really need fast-charge when I charge my phone most of the time, I turned it off. Phone no longer gets warm when charging.

Besides, batteries will last longer without excessive fast-charging.

I use these with my Note 7 and Nexus 6P. Unless I just got lucky and got 6 good cables .. I use them everywhere .. work, car (Android Auto) and home .. then these are good. I highly doubt a USB-C cable that works brilliantly with the Nexus 6P would fry the Note 7. I've had mine for 12 days and when I hook the Note 7 up in my truck for AA it's charging as well and it never gets much warmer than if it were on the wireless Samsung charger.

Maybe something is wrong with yours. My Note 7 has been sitting on the Samsung wireless charger on my desk at 100% for the last hour. Since all this has made me paranoid .. I pick it up every so often and touch it to my face. It's not even lukewarm. I don't think fast charging is the issue with this. The guy in China who reported this which later was picked up on Reddit .. his cable was just some black microusb cable with a while adapter on it and no further info. If the cable was a piece of crap and he was using a cheap wall charger .. Samsung adapter or not I think this was the cause of the boom. I could be wrong but I don't think so. Like said about .. the usb-c cable/charger subject was discussed to death about the OnePlus3 and Nexus 6P (Macbook as well) .. and it's always the same thing. Don't use cheap junk. :good:

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] -BoneZ-:
If your phone is at 100%, then it's not charging. Therefore, it won't be warm. When the battery gets low, 30-40% and it's on fast-charge, it gets very warm. I don't know about the wireless charger, but it's warm with the cable. Either way, I disabled fast-charge and no more warmth.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pete4k:
Are we far away from FW update limiting charge current? I turned off fast charging due to phone getting hot, which is not healthy for batteries, especially if those are hard to replace and I charge overnight anyway, but on some occasion I could be in rush to charge and fast charging is the solution and I want fast charge as option, but if things go like that, the easiest fix for Samsung would be to eliminate fast charge for now.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] omf05:
All phones should get warm while fast charging. S7 Edge did the same thing, so did the nexus 6p.

I charge mine with fast charging every single time.

Some Anker USB C cable sold at Amazon last month could blow you note 7 up.

Guys please check if you have these Anker cable and return it back to manufacture.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pete4k:
If that cable delivers 20 volts designed for PC, to the phone designed for 9v max, that would double the amperage and quadruple total power drawn, I can easily see how that could burn the whole phone to crisp.

Going back to fast charge on N7, I'm sure it's well designed and the heat well within specs (it's even mentioned in manual), but the fact remains that higher operating temp of battery, the lower (slightly) life span of the battery. With battery sealed inside and rather difficult to replace I want to prolong it's life to maximum and if I charge overnight, which I do often, don't care if it even takes 6hrs. BTW if the faulty cable is the real culprit, it's a very good news and shipping of N7 should resume soon. It would be shame if such a good phone got bad reputation undeserved.

http://www.androidauthority.com/reports-samsung-considering-note-7-recall-battery-pack-blame-714126/

The latest...
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] aergern:
Actually, it's not. It was reported on quite a few sites that Samsung sourced the battery packs locally for it's variations. So the South Korean company that made the battery packs for the South Korean release is the one that is possibly the cause of all this hoopla. The few handsets out of the millions produced that have had issues with these crap cables and chargers have been in South Korea. None of the EU/NorthAm phones have been reported to have had this happen at all. Maybe unnamed sources that aren't Samsung themselves should be taken with a grain of salt. Maybe we should wait for an official statement from Samsung before running in circles and screaming the sky is falling. It's a thought.

I'm not saying it couldn't be a massive, global recall but based on the 30+ articles I've read .. most of which messaged to me by my iPhone owning friends .. this seems like a bad batch in South Korea. I had a gasket issue on my motorcycle that was part of a recall .. will I stop buying that brand because of it. No. And before you start talking about fire and explosions .. oil spewing out of a gasket onto a tire while doing 70mph ... same thing.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] Thanat0s24:
oh yeah? turn off a key feature of the phone, and problem solved?

if the camera was faulty, would you simply not use it, and be okay with it?

the iris scanner, if it didn't work, would you just disable it?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] aergern:
Agreed. Turning off fast charging means that "BoneZ" doesn't get that it's a problem with the voltage and usb-c. If he plugs into a POS cable using a POS charger and it shoves more juice in that his phone can handle or ANY device (Nexus 5x/6p, Macbook or whatever) then it will have issues. Yes. He's told the phone to request less juice but if the other parts of the equation are faulty then ... boom. It's like those faulty cheap lightning cables that caught fire when Apple first switched to the lightning interface .. it was NOT the iPhone but the POS cable that was at fault.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ian1:
Well it's the its latest that been reported on our note 7 thread and in general is pretty recent. I don't mean to encourage blowing this issue up. I thought this article described exactly why it's not a big deal with the mention of how only .01 or .1 percent are affected. Hopefully it doesn't affect sales.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] ggrant3876:

This if proven to be wide spread, in no mere gate situation. Exploding phones? That could potentially hurt Samsung <Trump word> bigly.

Of course Samsung is saying it's only effecting . 01% of Note 7's. Let's see what happens.

Sent from my Note 7
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
If it was cheap cables then people close to Samsung wouldn't be hinting at a device recall.

Apparently its the battery packs created at the company ITM Semiconductor causing issue.

The battery packs out sourced to China seem to be free of this issue.

EDIT: Late
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
Any rhyme or reason to which phones got the batteries from the offending manufacturer.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Nah, none that I have seen. Hopefully it won't affect us but who knows until sammy makes an official statement.

I'll say if it was a cable issue that would suck for people that bought other cables and samsungs track record for shipping crap cables with their devices to begin with.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] guaneet:
Lol i hope not effected. Just noticed a weird buzzing sound coming from my charging port while the phone wss charging. Unplugged it and it went away, but about 5 minutes later there was a weird popping sound that came from it as well. Similar to bubble wrap popping but not as intense.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] rosedog:
Do that same thing during the charge, not when its trickle. I have everything retail samsung legit and mine gets warm and thats without any case. My wifes N7 gets even warmer and it scared her from using the wireless charging.

BREAKING:

According to bloomberg, it looks like it will be a global recall

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...global-recall-of-note-7-phones-yonhap-reports
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
Oh, well! I'm happy to see full disclosure.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] suzook:
Global, yes. That does NOT mean all notes will be. Not saying it won't, but who really knows?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
This isnt really breaking. They have been planning to make a statement as early as this weekend since this morning.

---------- Post added at 06:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:08 PM ----------

I wouldn't call their typical cookie cutter damage control PR statement disclosure.

Can't be ignored at this point. It's just a matter of determining which ones are affected and how to handle the fall out of a recall. You think all the contracts that have to be amended, trade ins that happened.

Lets say they recall on a major carrier, you think they have enough temp phones to account for every Note 7 purchase? Lets say you get a full return but now you are in a position where maybe you wanted no other phone, you cannot get your trade in back and now you are stuck buying something you didn't want because the Samsung fix won't happen over night. Lot's of people trade up and dont opt to keep their older phones.

This could be a pretty big cluster.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] twe90kid:
At first, it was rumored that they would only recall a small batch, not a global recall.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] RaymondPJR:
I would call it full disclosure! There are no denials of a problem, plus they are looking at 'all' models, not just this few in Korea that have had problems. So far I am very happy with their response! What they will do if there is a massive recall is quite another matter! Besides in all the confusion and rush to please angry customers maybe they will release a few of those versions used for development by mistake, like what they're trying to get their hands on in the rooting thread.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Ignoring exploding phones, especially when stock charging devices are used would be like suicide for them in wake of an Apple release.

Not to mention they haven't offered a solution so don't be so pleased yet.

Its like when those fords were setting houses on fire. The bare minimum a company can do is "look into it" while scrambling to keep shares high.

So what do we do exchange our phones for a new one?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] aergern:
Last night I let the battery drain to 43% and put on the wireless charger and it was damn near cold when I picked up after the "Hey, I'm done!" sound went off. And today while it was charging via usb-c cable using my Nexus 6P charging brick .. charged up from 53% to full and during this period I randomly picked it up and it was barely warm. I dunno maybe mine is special ed and doesn't know to get more than lukewarm. ;)

---------- Post added at 09:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

You got a TMO version. Has TMO or Samsung said your/our variant is effected. Do they have the south Korean sourced battery pack? Otherwise .. use it and carry on until a reputable source tells you that the variant you have is under recall.

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 PM ----------

You know all those folks who buy the unlocked FD version of the S7 ... and buy it all over the world and have it shipped to them? It would require a global recall to get them back. So if a variant of the Note 7 is having issues and folks can order over the Intardwebs .. guess what kind of recall is needed. A global recall. My motorcycle had a global recall and it was vin #'s from blah through blah not every single produced model of that motorcycle for that year. But carry on with the sky is falling. Maybe Samsung will actually make an announcement tomorrow as to what they are recalling which has not happened yet.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Im just following because im bored. My phone seems fine. I just think its silly to give kudos to a company doing exactly what they should do when news like this breaks.

Frankly i feel they stopped deserving praised when this even became large enough to be considered an issue that may require a recall.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] aergern:
Yeah, I'm not giving them kudos for anything really. I'm just saying that global in the Intardweb age is a bad choice of word. And folks latch onto that and think it means every variant of the Note 7. The fact is this is my 2nd Samsung phone since I a stopped buying Blackberrys in 2007 .. been a Nexus guy for a long time. I had an S4 for about 2 months and sold it due to extreme hatred of it. I gave this the 14 day challenge ie. I was going to return it if I hated it .. I don't. I hope the TMO Snapdragon version isn't affected because mine isn't having issues and I'm lazy. I don't want to copy all my crap off again. ;)

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] aergern:

[T-Mobile Note 7  Guides, News, & Discussion] truckerdewd:
All the reports come from the same news outlet/person. Every single one says Yanhop reports, or Yanhop reported such and such and the source is always some anonymous executive. I have no problems what so ever with my coral blue T-Mobile Note 7. I plug mine into the charger and cable that was enclosed in the box with no issues and it doesn't even get lukewarm at night and during the day I use the Samsung fast charge wireless charger I bought when I had my S7 Edge with no issues and yes I have fast charge enabled. I think everyone that isfreaking out like Chicken Little needs to chill out. Unless we get official word from Samsung and/or T-Mobile that they are recalling our particular phones, then all current stories that have been posted are just stories, rumors, ansclick bait designed to get hits and piss everyone off and cause major discontent. In other words, don't believe everything you read unless it comes from a official and reputable source. Also every article I read mentioned that the phones in question were being charged with a micro USB to USB C connector/adaptor.

"Well taken care of". I would at least like a new screen protector replacement since I spent an extra 30$ on that and now it will be trash. What about those that have bought skins and such too. Man, that kinda sucks. We should all at least get some discounts or something on accessories.
