[Note 7 Questions & Answers] RockStarCables:
I was using mine up until yesterday when i finally found a T mobile store that had my color...i never had a problem with it getting hot....however mine was sluggish and lagged especially in Knox private folder...I also got my 256 Card few days after original release...Didn't help the sluggish...i think it's the highest quality best smartphone ever made. I have had all of them except i skipped the N5 ...that was a lame crappy featured model...one things for sure it's the absolutely the most beautiful and crafted phone ever made...i haven't set up my new one yet....So much security and permission, little time consuming things involved...i wanna be fresh and excited to set this replacement ?

Still using my replacement has well
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] clearbox:
Still going strong

Still going strong on the Duos Variant, running 2 networks here in Canada. Use it as my primary driver, and man is this thing beautiful for work. Reseller has a "safe" version coming, but now with the halt not sure I care about that.

Now I'm just trying to see if the community will step up and remove all arbitrary limits. We already know that only handful of units are truly affected according to Samsung's own internal investigation, they are just killing this for PR.

I'll just leave all automatic updated disabled until this issue passes.

Samsung is gonna have to arm some intelligent gorillas with katanas to get this phone back from me.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] juliend:
Yeah, I don't feel like I can take the chance. Kids in the house and all. I'm going to swap it for something, just not sure what. I absolutely love the note 7, but it's been more of a hassle to own than any phone I have ever had. Now we are talking about waiting for a 2nd replacement note 7, with the note 8 due in about 6 months time. Doesn't seem to make sense at this point.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] pjcanales:
I'm sorry everyone but from the way it looks there won't been anymore batches coming soon until investigation finished. If samsung wanted us to keep the note 7 they would have said return for something other or refund.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mgbotoe:
i know wat you mean...the media put fear in house. just bought a new houses, brand new furnitures...last thing i need is telling my home insurance theres a problem cause i refused to return a 800 dollar device even though was told to return it.

beyond material things you got my own well being to think about. i hate the media sometimes but i could be that 0.01%
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ebyelyakov:
After reading about explosions on the planes I decided it was clear Note 7 was dead for good. Once can be excused while the second suggests there is a pattern. As much as I loved the phone (actually the Note family -- have been with them for over 4 years) I don't really want to be banned from using one on the plane or to attract concerned stares from bystanders... Another one (and I've came from Note 4) is the slippery, fingerprint glass... That scratches I dunno how since the phone is housed in a quality leather sleeve... On Sun it dropped from my pocket, probably form 30 cms, onto grass.. It cracked, a web of tiny crack in its corner with the glass started peeling on in a zillion of small shards... I've never had such a fragile phone... Having an active toddler running around the house I don't think it is a great idea to have such tender hardware in my home -- the last thing I want is to get that crumbed glass inside...

So that final episode was it for me... I've done a LOT of research specifically focusing on 1440 x 2560, expandable storage, excluding Chinese brands (Axon 7 was very convincing however reading about all those imperfections I understood I won't be able to live with it -- I'm anything but price buyer). And the choice is small.... Even if including last year models... Alas, I had to sacrifice the AMOLED -- it was available only with Moto Z Force which is Verizon Exclusive and not available in Australia...

I've settled on HTC 10, the Mrs after some attempts to move to the darked side agreed that iOS was a bit too restrictive and plainly stupid to live with and went after the G5... Ordered these phones just today. Zero experience.. Glad that the feedback from the users on these two models is quite positive.... Next 3 years without Note...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Spike96:
Actually... It's 0.0016%

OR, 1 explosion for every 62,500 Note 7 phones.

40/2.5 million

https://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=40/2.5+million
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mgbotoe:
given there has been what? 7 reports of the replacements? Over 2.5mil of the original sold? its actually less than 0.001% but didn't want to sit here and do the math and give out some comprehensive statistic data on my odds of actually being THE 1. Was simply making a point.

But thanks for the correction anyway
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Spike96:
Just did the math and edited my post. XD
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mgbotoe:
Lol, that seems to be more reasonable lol
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Boy Bisaya:
Still running and performing with my Gear VR. Work. Personal Use. Play. I use alarm to alert me when it gets 100% charged or temperature reaches 37C. No fast charging. Note 7 is limited to day-shift tasks though. Switches it off before bed and my Note 3 clocks in for night-shift until morning the following day. Note 7 only does night shift when attended.

I am keeping my two Note7 inside locally made portable safe deposit box. Good night sleep no matter what.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mgbotoe:
Now that's what up lol
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] juliend:
In a very short period of time.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Spike96:
Almost two months. The life span of a phone is two years. Assuming that the chance of explosion is constant and does not decrease after two months, we can extrapolate and say the chance increases to 0.0192% over a two year period.

OR, 3 explosions for every 15625 Note7 phones.

However, I have read somewhere that in every explosion case, the Galaxy Note 7 was purchased/exchanged merely 10 days before. SO, the battery issue seems to be exposing itself very early on. It may be safe to say that if you have been using your Note 7 for over 10 days, the chances of it exploding are dwindling.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] scrillakev:
Just factory reset mine and will be taking it back tomorrow. Loved the phone for the short time I had it (three days)..Back to my S4 for now and maybe a Pixel XL when the reviews come out.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] bayniner:
Still my original note 7, their really isnt another device that comes close to the note 7. I will continue using it till atleast the LG V20 comes out but i really hate to have to return it
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Piravinth:
I love my note 7, I am going to keep using it until Samsung is ready to give me new note 7 and then I will give it back. I ain't giving it back now and waiting for weeks for the replacement and I hope the UK replacements are not affected
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] gellofish:
Good luck on getting a replacement ... I think the Note 7 has just been killed off judging by the latest announcement from Samsung :(
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] SteveyJack:
They'll need to pry mine from my cold dead hands.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
I'm very happy to continue to use mine as I am very sure there's nothing wrong with it. My only "fear" is that I will be prevented from continuing to use it, since Samsung will likely push some update that renders the phone unusable... like they did the last time.

I don't know what right they have to do that? It is *my* phone, not theirs!
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] krzyzag:
I'm keeping mine especially that same as pre replacement handset there is bugger all wrong with it (touch wood) so far. Just keeping it safe by using genuine accessories. Hope tho they will not force us into changing / stopping using them by limiting battery :/
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] cricketgirl90:
From all the posts. M assuming it's a great phone. I was soo looking forward to upgrading my note 5 to note 7 in December. Let's see how Samsung plays it out.. maybe pixel xl... but m not convinced with its camera .
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ebyelyakov:
For as long those are not withered burned ones :) As much as the Note 7 was a superb phone, there will be better. Alas not today.

Hopefully this embarrassment will tech the manufacturers there are limits to cost cutting. And I was grumpy with the food industry silently cutting the sizes by 10% or so (Springles - from 150 to 135, Grolsh Beer from 500 ml to 450) however, they at least maintained the same quality.

I'm afraid Sammy is going to be scrutinised on all fronts. They were apparently wrong about the root cause of exploding phones, rushed into conclusion and came up with a solution that solved nothing. This clearly indicates Sammy have no idea what they designed and/or how it was manufactured. Which is likely to extend to other products -- how can you know the motor, running your fridge does not go in flames while you away at work? How do you know the TV does not explode while the whole family is in front of it. Provided the pricing and quality of many products are pretty much on par and depending on the spin journo's will run, Sammy's loses can be quite a rolling snowball...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
Better not use any Apple products either then.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ebyelyakov:
I can live with another phone, thankfully there are other Snapdragon 820 phones with 1440x2560 resolution and all the other specs... I would struggle much more with an insurance claim I cannot settle due to gross negligence or any physical damage...

---------- Post added at 08:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:43 AM ----------

Apple is a no go anyway. No in their current iOS philosophy. Lovely hardware it was all, I mean 3GS and 4/4S :)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
The thing I *really* like about my Note 7 is the iris scanner and secure folder. As far as I know, no other phone has this and that for me is the deal-breaker. I could possibly put up with a Pixel XL but it doesn't have the iris scanner, has no microsd slot and no OIS. And it costs more :(

---------- Post added at 08:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:47 AM ----------

All other specs?

Quad HD

OLED

MicroSD slot

Water resistant

iris Scanner

Pen

OIS camera

Which other phones would those be?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ebyelyakov:
I was writing a few pages earlier. There is no other choice, however, considering a clear risk (once I had my 20 months old holding the phone watching youtube) certain trade offs need to be made. Perception of risk is a very subjective thing, so I agree there would be people whose perception is very low -- to the degree they will accept Note 7 as having no risk. However, this low risk aversion does seem to conflict with the heightened security features such as iris scanner or secure folder :)

The closest contender is Moto Z Force. Very few compromises but a better made body and a shutterproof. Note 7 is fragile as ****. Two days ago it landed on a corner from about 30 cm -- cracked a lot with tiny shards to glass falling out of it -- I wouldn't want my kid anywhere near it. Alas, Moto Z Force appears to be a US exclusive, so even if I got gray import, there's no guarantee I would work well in Australia since LTE bands we have here are quite different... Sticking with 3G speeds thanks, but no thanks.

I settled on HTC 10. Alas LCD. And no pen... Don't care about water resistance -- last time I took a phone to the shower was never.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
I could like without the pen and water resistance, but LCD? No way, not for me.

Let's see how this pans out anyway - there's still no official announcement from Samsung here in the UK and Carphone Warehouse - who sold most of them - know nothing. Maybe, just maybe, Samsung will be able to identify which phones are safe and will not have to do a complete recall.

There you go.. we're screwed...

Now what?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ebyelyakov:
Yeah.. LCD kind of lame... Dunno what HTC did with it to give the name Super LCD5... Must be a marketing gimmick... That's why I was so interested in Moto....

http://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2016&nDisplayResMin=3686400&sOSes=2&sDisplayTechs=2

Only 16 results. Removing Indigenous Chinese brands and Samsung (I was really disappointed with the glass body) leaves only Alcatel (uses Snapdragon 651 and only 3GB Ram) and two versions of Moto.. The international one does not offer shatterproof and has smaller battery... :(
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] DesertHawk:
You like touching yourself? This is my first post in 3 years. Hope you think it was worth it.

Im still using my first batch Note7. If it goes it goes Ill have to buy a new phone but so far its going strong. I think its all media hype.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] pilzj:
Very interesting saying, hahaha. You just need to be very quick to stop using it the moment it explodes.

Using mine still as well, no issues. Hope it stays that way. Just annoyed by the battery warning and the daily tick to switch from 60% to 80% charging.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
I'd be interested to know how many Note 7's have "exploded", as the media like to keep saying.

I believe the actual total number of exploding Note 7's is ZERO.

explosion

ɪkˈspləʊʒ(ə)n,ɛk-/Submit

noun

1.

a violent shattering or blowing apart of something, as is caused by a bomb.

"three explosions damaged buildings at the barracks"

synonyms:	detonation, discharge, eruption, blowing up, ignition;

Why the rest have to suffer

I am keeping my NOTE 7
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
Whilst I can understand no manufacturer or seller wanting to get sued, I think the way the decision is being taken out of consumers' hands is DISGUSTING.

People would understandably be completely outraged if they were prevented from taking part in hangliding, or rock climbing or anything else that carries risk. The decision as to whether WE the consumer should be able to carry on using the product that WE own should be ours and our alone.

And now I find that Oculus have disabled Gear VR for use with my phone!

Class action lawsuit, anyone?

Guess im going the keep my note 7. Any idea if samsung disabled the phones can i run it with ROM s or stuff?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] smentoma:
Me!i m using it until i can. If samsung force me to return the device i will find a way to still use it until i get a knew one. The limited update is only one tme send. If i flash a odin firmware i shoud be able to use the phone no limit. Rooting is also a way.

I am til i get my oneplus 3, not dealing with a second recall then a third then a fourth and so on.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dottat:
No they won't. They can disable it remotely.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] AcostaJA:
The Note 7 is practically an s7 edge but Samsung added the iris scanner the s-pen and USB-C with quick charge 3, discard the s-pen, the part causing some phones fires on certain circumstances should be either the new charging circuit (most likely) or the iris scanner.

Also quality control at factory maybe a root cause also the cpu cooling could ignite the battery, but I bet is something related to the new charging system and USB-C power delivery.

Whatever a big lesson for Samsung, the made the best and the worst phone of 2016
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] juliend:
2 months is not really accurate. The first recall took place after the phone was only out a few weeks. Most people returned them. The second recall came out just a couple weeks after the re-release. So actual use time for most people on the device was much less than 2 months. About 2 weeks total in my case. A week with my first one, and a week with my second one.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] JHimmelbauer:
no, I don't send it back - have it since end of August, no problems, goes no hot like me N4, the best phone I've ever had. The only bad thing is, we don't get new updates - one reason more to root now the device. Maybe I get with rooting back the 100% battery charging capacity too ;)

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Spike96:
I'm looking at macrostatistics with my calculations, not micro.

My calculation is simple because I just assume for two months, customers in general have had one, maybe two Galaxy Note 7's in their possession. And there have only been about 40 explosions in net global total.

I would like to believe my calculations are not optimistic nor pessimistic, they're probably very realistic.

You bring up a good point, though.

In a more optimistic calculation, you could use logic to say the chances were even less.

There were 2.5 million Galaxy Note 7 purchases, but the fact that they all had to be replaced means that there are probably somewhere around 4 million Galaxy Note 7's in existence. Still, only about 40 explosions globally. I didn't take that into account, and you just made me think of that.

At the very least, we could take your amount of usage time concern and minimize that factor with the sheer amount of Galaxy Note 7's that were in possession of a customer at one time.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] racinwarrior:
no they cant
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] homogamez:
Just noight my note 7 3 days ago from best buy still using it and i love it. Keeping it till it EXPLODES or Samsung announces that the phone will be discontinued and NO FIRMWARE UPDATES will be sent out only then i will return it. My phone gets hot some times like any other phone.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dottat:
If you think they cannot you are kidding yourself. You can argue they won't but the fact they can is a fact.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] racinwarrior:
Show me evidence where any manufacturer has remotely disabled a device.

Think about people like me who do not have a landline. What if I need to call 911 and Samsung has remotely disabled my device.

I say again. They will not disable it.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dottat:
They already announced its discontinued. No more. Recall without replacement is their new statement. They will spend zero time updating software for phones they won't support. Think of this in terms of warranty support...you will not be able to get them to fix your phone under warranty.

Keeping it is prolonging your pain.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] homogamez:
No where it says they will stop support and also they said they HALT production until futher investigation. Also they NEVER SAYS they will stop support. Again they stopped sales and HALT production and will keep investigating the problem says it on report. no where does it say they will not update it or stop support or that it's never gonna be made again....
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dottat:
Not sure if you saw the actual US based CPSC numbers (keep in mind these are just the reported ones in the US)....

These numbers were from sept 15 2016

Incidents/Injuries:

Samsung has received 92 reports of the batteries overheating in the U.S., including 26 reports of burns and 55 reports of property damage, including fires in cars and a garage.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] juliend:
All valid points. Also though, consider that 13 million S7 handsets were sold in 2016. And while there have been a couple "unverified" reports of S7 also flaming, nothing to the extent of the verified failures for the Note. Imagine if they had sold 13+ million? How many of those would fail?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dottat:
Halt production came first. Ceased production came second. I could understand your argument during the initial "halt" phase... however... last evening they went beyond that. There will be NO resuming of the Note 7. That part became clear last night.

http://www.bbc.com/news/business-37618618

http://www.wsj.com/articles/samsung-to-permanently-discontinue-galaxy-note-7-smartphone-1476177331

There will be no re-entry of the note 7. It is done. Lets wait and see what happens with next version.

They will NOT warranty a phone they already want you to turn off and turn in for a refund.

If those links dont suffice.. here's samsungs statement on it...

http://www.samsung.com/uk/note7exchange/

Update, 11th October

Customer safety is our top priority – following recently reported cases involving the Galaxy Note7, we have taken the decision to stop all sales and exchanges of both original and replacement Galaxy Note7 devices. Consequently,

we have permanently discontinued production of the device.

We advise all existing Note7 customers to stop using your device, back up your data, and switch it off. We are currently working with our channel partners across the region to put in place a replacement programme which will allow you to exchange your Note7 for a Galaxy S7 or S7 edge. When you exchange your device you will be refunded the difference in price. Alternatively you can obtain a full refund.

Details of how the exchange programme will work will be communicated through this website and directly to each customer on a regular basis.

To all of our Galaxy Note7 customers, we are truly sorry that we have not met the high standard that you expect from Samsung. We thank you for your patience during this time, and apologise for the inconvenience we have caused.

We would like to reassure you and all our Samsung customers that the Galaxy Note7 is the only device affected.

If you bought your Galaxy Note7 from Samsung.com or have any questions, you should contact us on 0330 7261000 (Monday to Saturday: 9am to 6pm, Sunday: 10am to 6pm) and we will help you.
