[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] chipworkz:
The part that bugs me is the lack of details for sure! Samsung is causing a lot of the confusion and hype themselves by not coming out with exactly what the problem is and exactly which units are affected. If it was simply a "Bad Battery" supplied to one manufacturing plant for example, then it would be easy to isolate the effected units. A simple webpage could be set up to check your Serial number and see if it is an effected unit or not. This would save a TON of unnecessary returns and would have reduced the impact of the recall greatly.

The fact that they didn't do this and just did a global recall could lead one to believe the problem is actually bigger than they are letting on. If say only 100K units were effected by a bad supply of batteries, why would a company do a global recall and possibly take back 2.4 million units if not needed? If this wasn't a design flaw and they are just going to send out new units manufactured in China for example, then I already have one of those with no issues so why should I get another one that could have some issue I don't have now? I used China as an example since some reports say that the China units were not effected.

Now if there is going to be a design change to incorporate a protection system so 3rd party charges could not damage the device or something like that, then I would mostly likely want to get a new unit. Come on Samsung, release the actual issue and what exactly you are doing to correct it!

Here is another one that shows a burnt phone plugged into the Factory charger. The report also says that software was released to check the batteries integrity? I haven't heard any mention of that one yet.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] pete4k:
Personally I don't believe new units could be redesigned, produced and shipped for replacement in 2 weeks and of course there is upcoming China launch, uninterrupted. Which makes me to believe only one factory made some faulty units and it seems to be Korean one. I also lean to believe World recall was more of PR gesture " we messed up, but we fixed it, so return it for full refund, or get replacement, whatever makes you happy", than necessity. I'm actually surprised Samsung went extra mile, at huge cost, to fix this, they didn't strike me before as so consumer oriented company. I like my N7 as much as I did before, it works great and until I get all data to make informed decision, I'll just be careful when charging, so in case something goes wrong (probably very unlikely), I won't burn house down, but I'm using phone all the time so would notice something wrong. 3c tools has recording option, ill run battery temp during fast charge, just to see how hot it gets, it gets warm to touch, but thats normal.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] RaymondPJR:
In this day and age it is more prudent to do a total recall. It would cost them far more in lawsuits if harm came to even just a few persons worldwide. What if one of these phones caught fire on an international flight and it could be proven that this phone was the cause? Right there everyone on that plane would have cause to sue, plus the affected airline. Also the brand could be ruined forever as people wouldn't trust the product anymore. It's too risky for them. I'm getting a $25.00 gift card or credit in addition to the free stuff I've already received. Plus, I don't have to give up use of my phone, I just turn it in when the new one arrives! Hell, I might even get Samsung/T-Mobile to pay for the new fire extinguisher I bought and keep next to my pillow to ease me into slumber at night, IDK, LOL!:p

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] Techlyfe:
I'm with you on this, I've been digging through the nets to find out the possible cause of the few burnt phones and I've wondered if it was the USB-C issue, coupled with crappy aftermarket chargers and crappy aftermarket cables that are really causing the issue. My phone has barely been warm in the last 2 weeks or so even while playing some games.

It is very likely that Samsung felt pressure from US providers and had to issue replacement program. Some European countries are not so lucky, for now at least. They halted sales but no clear what next: replacement, repair, software update?

Thanks for linking, very good primer on Li batts, but still no definite answer. I heard 2 rumors: thermal runaway due to faulty thermal protection or battery fitted too tight, damaging some internal components.

If it's the same video I saw he did not say it was OEM but notated it in his YouTube page below video. You can say anything there don't mean it's true. Who would not say that if you just blew up your 900 phone doing something stupid

---------- Post added at 08:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:19 PM ----------

I agree with this as well it's easier to just replace then possibly face law suits. Plus let's not act like people in the US don't complain for everything and just by the amount of posts in here we seem to panic before we know the truth. IMO
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] pete4k:
Still trying to understand root cause. Samsung UK said that in faulty batteries anode and cathode came into contact, which could support the rumor that some batteries are packed too tight/ be crashed inside, but then why most reports I've seen claim fire started during charging, unless heat from charging makes them expand and that causes short?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] chipworkz:
This still doesn't say exactly what is wrong with the batteries but does give more details about it.

[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] LeadDawg:
Just noticed who makes the batteries I've been using in my vaporizer... LOL

Actually I've had these for over a year with no problems.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] JaguarXT:
It seems to be the control sensor chip board on the battery. This failure is allowing more charge than the battery can handle.

The manufacture charger adapter has a chip to allow correct charge for the battery it was designed for. Third party chargers don't know what your battery needs. So the third party charger is relying other fail safe methods.

The next fail safe is a chip at the power input. But that is only to make sure power is not too high.

Then the battery has it's fail safe chip that slows down the power charge when it is close to full charge and stops from being over charged. This fail safe chip board is what these few Note 7 batteries are having a failure.

Best bet to stay with Samsung fast charger for the Note 7 with Samsung's type C cable that came with the Note 7 phone. Then exchange the Note 7 with a new version of Note 7 when available. First couple of charges watch for heat problems with the phone. If heat problems then turn off take charger off and wait for to exchange the old Note 7 for a new Note 7. Otherwise just use the charger and cable the came with the phone until you can exchange for a new Note 7.

Yes, there will be other hardware fixes with the Note 7. So why not do the exchange to the new Note 7? Just backup first (Google backup, Samsung backup, and individual app backups). Then you can easily restore you stuff into the new Note 7.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] pete4k:
I think quite few people claimed to use original cable/charger and still had failures and I'm sure Samsung would blame somebody else if they could. Strange thing is the first few days my phone got pretty hot during charge, to the point I disabled fast charge (way before any reports of fire). Then I used 3C toolbox to monitor and record temp, charge/discharge, voltage of the battery non stop and switched fast charge back on. Now my phone doesn't even get warm to the touch and battery temp never got above 32C, despite charge going above 2 amps as it should. So I'm not sure what was going on: Is it normal for brand new battery to get hot, before it "breaks in", was it outside temp. affecting it (it was about 3-5 C warmer then than it is now, heat wave coming back so I'll check it again), maybe they pushed update to software to lower charge rate, but if phone is cold at 2 amps, how much were they pumping when it got hot? My charger still gets warm but I don't care.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] JaguarXT:
I remember talks about metal/material impurities causing the batteries to "explode" start fire and with pressure of battery packaging and sealing of device causing pressure that causes the device to explode. This may happen while charging after some pressure on the device where the battery is or drop/s (only god knows the drops, pressures, etc in the shipping of these products).

This won't be a problem if the battery manufacture made sure they keep manufacturing rooms clean and keep all materials covered and separate from each other. If this is the cause of few batteries "exploding" then this is the battery manufacture fault.

This would be the most likely cause if using the Samsung's charger and cable that came with Note 7.

The battery issue with Note 7 may be due to both bad fail safe chip in the battery and metal/material impurities. Each showing its own characters in the incidents:

Like if charging fine with Samsung charger and cable that came with Note 7, but incident happened with third party, then this most likely the fail safe chip in the battery.

If this happen within the first few charges and only used the Samsung charger and cable that came with Note 7 then this is most likely metal/material impurities.

There are other areas of failures. This is just looking at the battery in Note 7.

BTW - I have no heat or hot to touch while fast charging. So if you are feeling hot to touch while fast charging (outside of turning off Fast charging) I would recommend take advantage of the recall and get yourself a new Note 7 when come available.

For me, I am going to exchange for newer Note 7, just in case (despite that I have no battery problem right now) and take advantage of other fixes Samsung does to the newer version of Note 7.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] ZiprLips:
There is no redesigning or remanufacturing to be done. The battery fault is contained to one supplier. All that is needed is to stop using cells from that manufacturer untill they produce cells within spec. Until this happens, overall assembly my decline in the short term until the manufacturer improves their proccesses.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] goodfell4:
I think something is not right about my phone. I got this this phone 3 days ago and was running lollipop 5.0.1.

I tried to root it with this guide here choosing method one, because in the about section of the settings, it said Galaxy s4 GT-i9500. After flashing the downloaded CF-Auto-Root-ja3g-ja3gxx-gti9500.tar.md5 with Odin and it failed, it could only boot into download mode with the error "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select ..........blah blah blah".

After failing to unbrick the phone, I took it to a repair shop where they flashed a new stock rom. The model now says Galaxy S4 SPH-L720T in lollipop 5.0.1. It used to be GT-I9500 and to make it more confusing, the sticker at the back read Model: SM-i9500, SSN: -i9500GSMH. And if I boot into downooad mode, the below info is what comes up. How can I successfully root this device and de-bloat it without bricking my phone again? I didn't have to spend the extra money for flashing a new rom.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Master619:
Coming from a 1-year old Note 5, considering swapping to this phone, I have some questions:

1) Can I expect better battery life (I only get like 4 hours SOT max on the Note 5) and better low light photos (with HDR+)?

2) On the topic of low light, is there any article comparing the 6p and the S7/Edge in low light that the 6p has HDR+ turned on? Every article I found had the option turn off for the 6p which might be not fair.

3) Continue the topic, is HDR+ that godly?

4) 6p users that have been using the phone for more than 3 months, is there any major drawback that you're disappointed with / regret buying the phone for? Thanks in advance!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edios123:
Only thing you'd be disappointed about is, SD 810. It gets so hot very easily as compared to one of the best thermal performance on the Note 5. Camera would be a tie, because the Nexus 6P at daylight tends to shoot at a lower exposure. Low light is top notch.

With Android N, the phone just flies!

Only disappointing feature of 6P is 810. If it had something better, it'd still be one of the bests out there.
