No problem here in France with my Note 7 and it's successor. All are SM-N930F with Exynos chip. Very happy with it for the moment. I was 152th to preorder it. It was sold out in 5 days. I think 2000 max were sold here. Perhaps would it become collector!!!
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Polar67:
As for the relevance of quick charging/Exynos i dare not speculate. You may very well be right. I did however have a very pleasant chat with a retired US powerplant engineer that visited our little town on a cruise ship making a stop in southwestern Greenland.

Anyway: It turns out they ground their Zero as well at point of delivery - Step-down transformer most likely.

Yes it's 60 Hz 220-240/110-120 Volt 2 phased where we run 50 Hz 380-400/220-230 Volt 3 phased but the grounded zero is common for both grids.

Perhaps I'm wandering a bit off topic :silly:

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] nomailx:
They say "In Europe at least"... Maybe meaning that it's a Snapdragon thing... Maybe the explosions in Korea and Taiwan happened cause the phones were Snapdragon models, (imported? Purchased abroad?). You see, there are no cases of explosion at all in my Country, neither any original nor replaced.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] B3501:
I think you're being a bit optimistic. Even if they decided to resume sales noone would buy it. The brand and trust is ruined and the best thing they can do now is pull the Note 7 and rebrand the Note 8. It's absolutely over for the Note 7.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Phlip00ws6:
I'm sure if it was a Snapdragon thing Samsung would have been quick to use Qualcomm as a scapegoat. My guess is there is still an issue with the charging IC, which could vary based on where it was manufactured/sold.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jbadboy2007:
Have you lost your mind? This is still the best device out. And will be when it returns it just a matter of when. Samsung can not have a newer flagship device on the shelves. It will return. More than 90% of note owners replaced the first ones. Let's just say 80% will again if they didn't get another device before. I'm trying to hold out until they resolve the issue
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] B3501:
I agree, it's an amazing device and easily the best phone I've ever used but Samsung are now are telling all users even with replacement devices to power down their phones. It can't survive a 2nd recall, youre dreaming If you think it can. There's obviously a problem with it that's not been solved. This phone will be taken off the market now.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dmrasm:
It would be one thing if they were to say power it down while we can investigate fully to see if there is truly a risk in using the device. Since they say to power it down and return it makes me think the investigation is done. Tough for Samsung to keep the note 7 going with an announcement like this. Very unfortunate, the best phone I have ever used.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Maerad:
Yeah, but there is no info if she used an original charger etc.

There were always cases were phone started to light up, but those were single cases and in most of them there was a cheap china charger being used or the phone was damaged in some way, because it was in the backpocket and already bend, causing the battery to light up or something like that.

The problem with the note 7 is, that we don't talk about one phone in a week or month. We talk about many devices in a short time period, many of them used like 3 days or even still in the package.

THAT is the real problem. And if samsung tells his sellers to stop selling and that you should disable the old AND new note 7, means they found something and that makes them nervous. Otherwise they would only tell them to stop selling.

I really have nothing against samsung (ok, their software sucks...), even using a note 4 myself, but this case is really dangerous. If the phone has a error, so there is a high chance that it could burn, you should stop using it and wait till they found the error and / or do something about it.

It's not just about a damaged phone - imagine you have that thing lying on a fast flammable surface and it goes up in fire. And then you live in a bigger complex with many living units. Not cool at all.

I hope they finally get their **** together, find the damn error and fix it asap. But I fear the note line is heavily damaged by name.... well, maybe after the s8 everything is forgotten. Maybe we get lucky and they bring a changeable battery back :)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] nomailx:
Did you copy paste that from all the posts denying the Note 7 explosions?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] andyahs:
So when it's a Samsung phone it's Samsung's fault but when it's an iPhone it's immediately the users fault? How many smoked Note 7 users used an original cable and charger?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Maerad:
I don't really get you? In the link he provided, the news was quite short without any real information how or why the phone burned and if there was a possibility of a user fault. There is a really small chance that a current phone (no matter the brand) can go up in flames, because the used batteries are quite sensitive to damage. Even a bend can be enough to break the barrier between the cathode and anode.

The problem was and/or is the numbers of burning note 7 in a short time.

And I can fully understand the critics, wanting to stop a spreading FUD with no real evidence. But IMHO it is proven enough, that the current note 7 line has a real design problem that will need a longer time to fix (and not only a week).

---------- Post added at 01:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 AM ----------

You got me wrong - I just said that the link you provided had a not enough information what the cause for the burn was. If a phone goes up in flames, it's basically the batteries fault, because the Lithium ones are quite sensitive to damage, bends etc. It's nothing new that a smartphone can go up in flames - there were rare, single incidents and most of them caused by a faulty charger or damaged battery. The note 7 has just way to many reports of burning batteries to be a single faulty phone.

For the note 7, there are enough reports, that it caught fire even when not loading or without being used, which indicates an error in some way. If this wasn't the case, the ppl and the media would be lying etc. samsung wouldn't do a recall. They are not stupid to **** on their shareholders because of some FUD.

Let's face it - it seems like quite a large quantity of note 7 has a manufacturing error or there is an error in all note 7 which could lead to them going up in flames. And it's not the battery alone.

I really hope that samsung can fix this (remember? I also want one...), but they will need time to analyse the error.

But it doesn't look good ... selling stop, told the users to turn off and have a recall at least in the us for money or an S7 / S7 Edge...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Isus <3:
Note 8 will come out lol
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] GaresTaylan:
I think another issue here is even if the phone was cleared again, I doubt many carriers will add it back to their lineup again. In the US, where carriers seem to control android updates for most devices, that leaves AT&T users like myself in the dark for future updates.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] B3501:
[QUOTE=Isus probably the Note 8 will be rebranded.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] clearbox:
I'm hoping the community will step up and help us support the devices that are already in the wild. The reality of this situation is this - the recall, the battery limiting software, all of it was a PR move, and frankly is totally irrelevant. You either believe all Note 7 are unsafe, or you believe that 99.9% of Note 7 are safe. I really hope we get options, my reseller is getting me a "safe" version of the duos I have, but frankly all of them are now technically "unsafe" as Samsung has halted production.

At this point all the arguments about personally liability are mute, we already know that only a small handful of devices have the defect, we just need people to accept the liability for themselves.

Similarly, the arguments about endangering others is spurious, these phones aren't bombs, the ones that have "lit up" have melted and smoldered.... I won't be bringing mine on a plane when travelling either, I'll carry my galaxy alpha instead.

I'm interested to see if any custom roms just totally ignore the battery limiting code in future, and if not, I'll just keep disabling the updates on the current device I have, and when I get the "safe version", I'll do the same until the community releases a version of a ROM that lets me remove all arbitrary limits placed on the device.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Boy Bisaya:
I doubt if there is a future Note 8. That name has already been used back in 2013 for their 8" tablet with S-pen. My wife is still using it until now.

As for the Note7, I am less worried about the unit. What I am concerned about though is the transportation sector that will eventually ban or restrict the use of Note7 on board. Airline first. Possibly later trains and buses. When that happens, I may be forced to give up Note 7.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dopamine5ht:
Thats all folks, can't believe I am saying this.

I was done keeping my phone in cooking tin when I sleep. Got an S7 edge, done.

That statistics are low. However, I doubt after all this the note 7 is going to get the software updates its deserved.

I am tired of exchanging.

S7/S7 edge have sold more than 25m/15m without many issues. It safe bet to stay in the samsung family.

They must of totally messed up the design on this note 7.

I still got my note 4 on my second line. I still got my note pro 12.2. I still can have some note goodness without the note 7.

I don't know what the future holds. I may have to investigate smart pens, if the note line is dead.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jeremy.chan:
Probably rebranded to the Note S(afe) hah. I hope i don't have to return mine. But i'm not taking any extra risks either. The phone only charges when i'm awake or nearby. Battery seems to last forever anyway
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
I'd really love to keep my Note 7 - I absolutely love it.

But the more I think about it, I think the product is doomed. Let's say Samsung come out in a few hours / days with a statement saying they have identified the cause of these latest problems and that they can now reassure everyone in (say) Europe that their phone is perfectly safe. Best case scenario.

Even if that happens, the "Galaxy Note 7" brand is toast (no pun intended!). Samsung will surely be accelerating as fast as they can development of the next version, and will likely rebrand it too. So I don't expect a "Note 7S" or Note 8", it will probably be a new name completely.

What this means is that software development for the Note 7 will be absolutely on the back burner (sorry all these puns!). Will we ever see Nougat official on a Note 7? I doubt it.

For these reasons, I am starting to think a refund is going to be my only option.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] pietroSV:
Today, Samsung again announced next recall.

I'm done with it. I don't want phone labeled as 'problematic one' and change (and setup) phone everytime they find some exploding piece.

Next question is if it ever will get updates.

I will switch to S7 Edge. I wanted it before, but I wanted to wait on Note and try new category, i.e. phone with pen.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] aengus4h:
Same with EE, only the extra data allowance when the recall mess started.

I've now switched back to my note-3 till we get more news, at least I got a new battery for it only a couple months back so it'll be good for a long while. To me continuing with the 7 is just not worth the risk even tho it seems to be running fine. Nobody can tell if theirs may suddenly fail so IMHO, knowing there is a potentially dangerous fault, using it in the car as sat-nav, travelling on crowded public transport etc would be plain irresponsible.

I've had the note since the very first one came out so its a shame things got this bad for the model range. Whether there will be another now is anyone's guess but for sure brand damage could have just put the nail into the coffin lid for it :(

Such a shame, no other (or current) phone comes close to satisfying my personal requirements. Absolutely loved it.

No doubt a big battle to come getting refunded by Samsung for all the accessories I bought for it (I bought the phone directly from them in the UK). I'll go to the small claims court if I need to.

I can't get excited by anything else on the market, or even in the pipeline. I had to give my work phone back a few weeks ago (I left the company) so I only have an old Galaxy S2 to fall back on, but I think I will just use that until the S8 comes out, or the Note 7 replacement if there ever is one.

€ 1.009 for the 128GB XL here. And I think it looks like an old iPhone, so why not get the real thing for € 1.019? It would resell a whole lot better.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
The price is indeed truly ridiculous and is a serious off-putter. But I think the camera is probably stunning. Here's what the hugely respected DXO said:

"With an overall DxOMark Mobile score of 89, pixel, the latest Google smartphone, is the highest-rated smartphone camera we have ever tested. Its image quality scores are impressive across the board, but it is particularly strong in providing a very high level of detail from its 12.3MP camera, with relatively low levels of noise for every tested lighting condition. It also provides accurate exposures with very good contrast and white balance, as well as fast autofocus."

I don't care how little these phones explode they are not supposed to in the first place. Defects are normal part of mass production yes but exploding phones is far from normal.

I think it's got something to do with the enclosure rather than the battery. Either its overheating causing a short or the enclosure is somehow putting undue pressure on the battery.

I just hope they don't kill the note product line it is one of a kind and I was going to get a note 7 good thing I didn't.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Sachinfan:
I think Samsung made the wise choice, but i am at loss to understand and will be forever as to why samsung couldn't fix this. Samsung isn't a teeny-meeny start-up or a chinese company which only sells via online stores.......Samsung is a global conglomerate and should have been, not only, able to prevent such a wide-spread problem but fix it second time around.

What it means for samsung mobile will be evident with S8 next year, but a lot of consumers would be weary to buy samsung phones again.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] bluheart:
Anyways, all we can say is RIP until S8 is out
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
My view is that they could easily fix it, but that the just want to draw a line under the whole thing and not risk further adverse publicity. Even when "fixed" phones sometimes burst into flames so they couldn't risk that happening even after they had really fixed it.

They probably will ditch the Note brand as well, imho. Although not the s-pen and other features which I think will live on in son_of_Note 7.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] invisiblesense:
S-Pen alone was enough of a reason for me to stick with Samsung and the Note line. Add to this the Note 7 included water resistance. I had been waiting to exchange mine so I took off the screen protector & case - now I'll have to put these back on because I don't to damage this phone knowing there will be no replacements.

Can't imagine another phone with stylus coming any time soon.

They are offering full refund and arranging collection of the phone. They are NOT offering anything for third party accessories which are now useless because they are phone specific so I'm £50 out of pocket (plus all the hours configuring TWO useless phones).

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] TomTanderson:
I was actually understating things. As well as the £50 (Otterbox and screen protector), I also bought two high quality USB-C cables, USB-C adaptor (didn't realise one came with it) and a wireless charger. That's an additional £110. I MAY have some use for them in the future or maybe I won't, depends where I go from here,
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Chippy_boy:
I have to say that's complete unacceptable mate. If you can be bothered, I'd seriously consider sending them an invoice for the £50 and saying you will take them to the small claims court if they don't pay it.

If Samsung were saying "you can carry on using your phone if you want to" then that would be another story. But since they are saying you have to surrender it, I cannot see how they are not liable for full damages, i.e. your additional costs.
