It's the a??hole confusing way Android file management works: in astro first click internal storage, which shows you couple useless folders, then click icon on top that looks like sd card next to it, that will get you to root folder and show sys folder. I have no idea why clicking on internal storage doesnt take you to root folder and why clicking on sd card takes you to root folder of internal phone memory, geniuses who came with this must have their reason. I think there is a way to do it in ES as well, but couldn;t not figure it out on my build in file explorer

Ok The Issue Is Because Of The Fast Charging, But You have the option in settings to turn off fast charging and it will do normal charge. I've done this and there is no heating issue

Turning Off the fast charging I believe will hold me until the new replacement hit the market. Just my opinion.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] wafflenator:
Has Samsung stated that's the cause? I've tried looking a bit and haven't seen anything official. I use fast wired and wireless and my phone has never even gotten warm while charging.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] B3501:
No, it's not because of fast charging, it's caused by a manufacturing fault which can cause the anode and cathode to touch in the battery. Turning off fast charging will do nothing, if the anode and cathode touch it's game over...

Using ES I see that my Sprint Note 7 that was made in China has a SDI battery in it.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Damitu:
I love this phone!

After two years of living in the land of Apple, Ive returned to Android. I switched from Sprint to T-Mobile and when I wanted to get this phone it was sold out everywhere. I had to wait for an order. That was almost two weeks ago now and I have nothing but praise for the Note 7! There has been a little lag now and then but, since have used the device maintenance in settings to keep it running well.

Do I want to keep my phone?! Oh, yeah! Do I keep it plugged into a fast charger overnight? Heck NO!!

Which I'm pretty sure was the culprit of some of the battery explosions.

But, I am still worried about it. Every time it starts to get warm, I'm running for a cup of water.

I would like to know where my phone was made.

Now, I just heard that they started sales again in China. Apparently, no catastrophes there.

I feel for the people here in the U.S. and other countries that still want to get this phone and are willing to take the risk of getting a unit that has the potential of having a problem. Maybe they could have the new owners sign a waiver.....

If I wanted to get a S7 Edge then I would have got one! Now you want me to trade my note 7 for the same phone I passed over the first time to get this one. I don't think so....

Coming from a LG G3-not my cup of tea.....and the Note 3 before that then, the Note 7 is a vast improvement.

I guess what it comes down to is: Do I want to continue to take the risk? or trade in my phone and get something cheap in the interim and wait for a new batch of phones to arrive. I just don't know. Suggestions?

Well, I think just for S&G now that I have T-Mobile I'm going to put my SIM card in my G1, that's still rocking Donut!! and see what it does.

I also have the Note 7 from Sprint said made in China but it seems reading the file via ES is not accurate. I really wish it's the case if any phones made in China is safe from the recall but Samsung couldn't guarantee that so it's best to recall them all. Sucks. Mine been flawless but since there isn't 100% sure way to know best to exchange it anyway.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] qasim:
I bought a phone a little while ago from Hong Kong. It had an issue with the Sim card tray so I had to send it back.

I think the courier at the time was DHL who I'd paid customs to the first time around, but when I got a replacement phone I didn't have to pay it as it was defective and needed to be repaired. So I don't think you should have to pay it either, unless something has changed in the last couple of years.

They did send me a letter charging me the second time around, but I was able to email them over a receipt of the first payment after a quick call.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Guitarfreak26:

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
Samsung SDI made 100% of the battery cells. Two different third parties packaged the cells in to battery packs. Korean ITM Semiconductor and Amperex Technology of China. There may be more but Samsung didn't disclose them. I'm not a battery expert but I'd imagine the cell and not the wrapper is what counts as the "battery" in testing apps. If so, 100% of Note7 batteries will read out as SDI. I'd assume SDI makes or has made all the batteries for Samsung phones and before now there was never an issue. They also make the cells for BMW's electric i3. So it's not like SDI is incompetent.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] fenderguy05:
I have a T-Mobile, Made in China variant that reads SDI SDI. I've already signed up with T-Mobile to be alerted when the replacement units are ready to be rolled out and will swap my Note 7 out at that point in time. The charger at my bedside is a wireless, non quick-charging, pad so I'm not sure concerned about it having issues given what I've read so far. I do quick charge via wire throughout the day, but at least I'm awake for that! haha

T-Mobile offered to allow me to exchange the phone for an S7 Edge in the meantime, but I'll already have to set up the new Note 7 again, and don't like the idea of doing it an extra time to hold me over for two weeks to a month.

I think that most people in here are just trying to get their heads around what's going on and asking if they should be worried in the meantime. I didn't get the feeling from anyone in here that they'll be keeping the device even with all signs pointing to possible issues down the road. Calling people in an internet forum (looking for guidance and answers to their questions) children could be, and should be, considered an insult and rather rude.

I read here: http://www.phonearena.com/news/Exploding-kittens-how-to-tell-if-you-have-a-Samsung-SDI-or-a-safe-ATL-battery-in-your-Note-7_id85003 that Samsung actually wasn't able to roll their new battery out to the S6 & s7, and this was the first time it appeared in their smartphones. Hopefully they fix this for future smartphone releases.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
You guys realize that if it was that easy to identify affected batteries with an off-the-shelf app Samsung would have released an app themselves so people could identify whether or not their device needed a battery replacement. There's obviously more at play at here, especially since it's the packaging and not the cell itself that seems to be the problem.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] fastredponycar:
Checked mine. SDI battery.

Brother showed me a pic of one of his truck drivers' note 7's melted into the seat of his truck. Wouldn't have believed him if I didn't see it for myself.

Took phone to T-mobile today and exchanged for a S7 Edge. Once they get the new shipment of notes in, I'll take this back and get another note. It was really nice. I am not a fan of the more curved edges on this and the small tweaks they made to touchwiz and the menus, I think were smarter on the note.

Transferring all my apps and data took forever but everything works as it should.

I will say this though, I went naked all weekend long and spent Saturday tailgating, snapping lots of shots, intentionally put the phone in the same back pocket as my keys. I took the phone out on the boat at the lake and took lots of pics while getting sprayed with water and loved it.

Zero scratched. Not one.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] fenderguy05:
I already have run through the set-up on the Note 7 twice and as soon as I felt all set up this recall was announced! I can't wait to just get this over with and be done with any of the set up, it takes FOREVER. Glad to hear you had no scratching issues, I've had mine free of any sort of screen protection and have nothing to report either. That being said, I never put it in the same pocket as my keys and may have to do my own test for the next couple weeks while I wait for T-Mo.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Fishdj:
Judging from the lack in info from Samsung regarding international (930FD) version in the US, I might not be able to get an exchange. Mine was purchased from Ebay and the seller's trying to punk me by telling me that mine's not in the defective batch.

“An overheating of the battery cell occurred when the anode-to-cathode came into contact which is a very rare manufacturing process error.”
