[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mav42:
As mentioned before my V2 Note 7 has had no issues since the swap over, also I spoke to Samsung Aust earlier today, and while confirming the Southwest airline incident, they can not confirm it was due to battery etc until they review the phone properly ( could have been a V1 phone placed in a V2 box etc etc) So lets wait and see what the outcome of all this, before we all jump on the media band wagon ( we all know they like to beat up a story) ....as for resale value and customer confidence check EBAY as this will give you a rough idea how the consumer market feels about the note 7...prices seem to be solid at the moment, with ppl asking over $1000 buy it now, while others have bids over the $1000 Aust mark (I did a world wide search)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] notefreak:
Well, doomsday sayers can return their phones if they want, I don't care. If Sprint if offering refunds, that is THEIR choice and means nothing else at this point. Oh and if US government gets invlolved again, keep it to US.

If they want to give me another yet safer Note 7, fine. But I am not giving it back and be without this phone.

I doubt that Samsung is going to kill off the Note 7 because of that one incident and I hope they don't as I still want one when price starts dropping a bit

N7 is only burning in USA or Chine... Europe is safe at least it looks so... ofc still waiting for the Samsung answer. Rly sad that such good phone are being destroyed by media.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Señor Sjon:
Yeah, because it only gets delivered to most pre-order customers next week. That is why Europe isn't burning. :P

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] kat.hy:
I think it's true, not "supposedly", but really the replacement did overheat

I just got my replacement yesterday (finally!, I registered the beginning of Sept), and right away, when I started using it, it got warm, then very very warm especially the top right side by the power button. The gold band part was the warmest.

I ended all applications on both the replacement and the recalled Note 7 and the Note 7 stayed lukewarm, while the replaced Note 7 got very very warm. :eek: :confused:

I'm going to exchange it, and I'm hoping the exchanged one won't be that way.

But since I have experienced the replacement phone get abnormally warm, I am leaning towards totally believing that this person's replaced Note 7 caught on fire on the SouthWest plane.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] azzicles:
Damn it, why do people keep assuming just because it runs hot means it's defective.

Phones aren't overheating. They overheat and catch fire in an instant AFTER the batteries short. Media sites have no idea what they're going on about. It's not like the battery can have a tiny short that just makes it heat up a little but still power the phone perfectly fine.

kat.hy it's fine. If you just got it and started using it there's probably a lot going on behind the scenes resulting in a hot phone. It's literally just the SOC. No need to take it back. There's not going to be any symptoms before it explodes if it were to. Once the battery shorts internally it'll blow. Nothing in-between. (Apart from odd stuff like failing to charge or draining while charging)

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
How do you never having seen the phone in question know it was a replacement? Because the person who owned it said so? Because of a picture of a replacement box that isn't tied directly to the photo of the overheated phone? Because you read it on the Internet? You and I have access to

exactly

the same second and third hand information and I can't say for sure the Note7 on the floor of the Southwest plane was a replacement. Powers far greater than anyone here who have access to far more information will make the call. Until then I stand by "supposedly."
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ekerbuddyeker:
I really wish I had just kept my Note5 . After going through the concern the first time around and here we go again... And there will Always be a stigma attached to this device which could impacted selling it second hand.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mhill1986:
Right now, this report is totally unfounded...Sprint hasn't said a peep publicly, and all these reports are just parroting what one "representative" said. I just talked to Sprint customer service, and they (of course) know nothing about it.

Edit: I'm not saying they won't make an official statement within the next couple days, though.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
People who -honestly- attach a stigma over a battery defect, or -honestly- think the phone is bad because it runs "hot" are idiots. The Note7 is one of the best phones ever made, and there is nothing inherently wrong with the device. If we get concrete proof that Samsung crammed too much battery capacity into too small of a space (which is totally possible given how competitive they want to be), that statement will change... but otherwise, most people freaking out about this are ignorant sheep.

Good article. This almost needs to be a sticky.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Dmac1984:
Here we go again with mass-hysteria lol. They will have to pry this Note 7 from my cold dead hands, phone runs perfect on my end, and its beautiful, people need to chill out. I really hope they don't just recall and kill the phone all together over this. Unless they pull the only charge to 60% crap again, they wont be getting my Note 7 back.

If anyone is seriously that scared, then take the phone back, and move on with your life.

And I just read in a few places, that Samsung has yet to see a profit loss with the recall this quarter, so for all the paranoid people and media idiots calling/predicting the end for Samsung, wrong-o ... Recall or not, I trust Samsung, and they took good care of me during this ordeal and I'll continue to purchase Samsung products, and I'm willing to bet there's more people like me that will too.

I'll just leave these here:

* I did not personally vet the articles that I listed above, just grabbed a few examples.

And there's a million more stories of lithium batteries "exploding" from all manufactures on all sorts of product, it can and DOES happen all the time, Samsung is not the only company to have this problem and thus, this issue can happen to anything you own with a lithium battery in it at anytime.

People need to relax for real.

And there's no back-up device I've been eye-balling, there's no comparison or competition for the Note 7, this phone is "Best in Class" by far and every other phone being put out right now just doesn't cut it, performance wise or aesthetically, I refuse to downgrade after owning this beautiful phone.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] 350Rocket:
So is the lag people have reported on the note 7 made up too? Sometimes it seems like the Samsung fans are even more hardcore than the apple fanboys. I don't have any Samsung's or iPhones but I read every page of this thread and all the articles attached...I still don't know what I think is the truth but the people defending Samsung like crazy seem to me a bit narrow minded to me.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
Well, yes. He not only said it was a replacement, he explained that he exchanged his old Note 7 for a post-recall one, and confirmed via the box markings and the green battery icon that the phone was legit.

He couldn't plausibly be mistaken about all that. So either his story was true, or he was intentionally lying. But a lie would have been pointless, since the phone's identity can obviously be confirmed by physical inspection of its remains.

There's no harm in withholding judgement pending even stronger confirmation. But in this instance, the preliminary information is already quite compelling: this was indeed a post-recall Note 7.

It remains quite possible, though, that this was a one-in-a-million defect and not a systematic fault in the post-recall Note 7s. We have no good information about that either way yet.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] B3501:
AT&T now allowing customers to exchange their replacement Note 7s for another make of phone. Even if this was nothing, the Note 7s reputation is ruined. I actually think now this replacement Note 7s fire was a defective battery hence the carriers now acting on it. This is bad, bad ****. There's also been no word from Samsung, if they thought this was nothing they'd be all over it trying to squash the story, there's obviously something to this fire. I'd now expect sales stopped and the exchange program halted.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] racinwarrior:
its not overheating that will cause it to catch fire. Its a short in the battery. A physical problem within the battery that you would have no indication of it happening.

:rolleyes:

has my phone hiccuped? sure ... have I ever experienced the lag the people on the internet talk about when they bash Samsung? Nope, and I power use my phone. Gear VR, gaming, movies, drawing on it. etc.

People love to bash Samsung, its just one of those things, just as people love to bash Apple, most of either bashing is unwarranted, but people who haven't had a Samsung phone since 2011 will go on about how laggy Samsung's are and how touch-wiz is crap, they bought a ****ty low end go-phone Samsung SHG-POOP 6 years ago for $49.99 and made their decision off it for life. So 99% of the Samsung nay-Sayers haven't held a Samsung in years, but will still run their name through the mud, so the idiots who just eat up whatever they read on the internet, are just that ... idiots. Meanwhile for all the problems people who don't actually have a Note 7 are reporting or reading and basing their opinion of the phone on, there a million people like me here and on XDA that stuck through the recall and dealt with all this crap to get our beloved "laggy, explosive, crappy, iPhone knock-off, non-removable batteried, no IR blastered" Note 7 back.

For Christs sake lol.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
I admire the optimism people here show about the intentions of others. 1/3 of the 90 reported original Note7 incidents turned out be fraudulent or intentionally misstated. 100% of the reported post-replacement incidents in China had nothing to do with the Note7 specifically.

Until an official position is taken by Samsung and the CPSC I haven't personally categorized Southwest guy yet. He could be part of the 1/3 that lied or part of the 2/3 who had a real incident exactly as stated. Time will tell and both Samsung and the CPSC have a vested interest in getting to the bottom of the incident sooner rather than later. Until then we can all just continue having fun drawing our own conclusions based on nothing but scant information and our personal leanings.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
Please cite evidence for that accusation. I know Samsung said 1/3 of the reports were incorrect, but I'm unaware of any statement that any reports were "fraudulent" or "intentionally misstated".

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
No. But have said people read the threads and posts about the funkiness caused by moving apps, settings, and configuration over with Smart Switch? Or that Samsung Cloud's default back-up and sync settings are set "on" as a default consuming background processes invisibly? What about the two year old apps some people use that were never optimized for the newest Android versions?

The one thing I can't stand on XDA is when a small percentage of people experiencing something always assume that they represent the entire universe of user's experiences. When I experience a problem, being a long timer here, I assume it's me, something I did, or something I can influence. So I'll perform basic diagnostics/triage to see if I can help myself. I'll turn to the forums and search to see if there are reports of others having similar issues. Sometimes, like with the issues I outlined above, the fix is relatively easy. Sometimes it'll take an update from the OEM to fix. In rare cases it's h/w or something incurable. Each of us look at problems and their solutions differently along with where they rank on the OMG! scale.

A Samsung phone is always going to be for want of a better word "heavier" than lean phones like Nexi/Pixel, Moto, and OnePlus phones. That's because Samsung phones do more. I use SideSync, Scrapbook, S Note, and now the Edge panel religiously. Those things consume resources but since I use them I'm fine with the millisecond delays they may cause in scrolling and transitions. If a BMW 3er, 5er, and 7er all use the same engine and transmission they're going to perform differently based on size and weight. Samsung's phones are 5/7ers. If you don't need the size and weight of those ranges get a 3er. In other words if all you do is the basics (social, messaging, Internet, music, video) maybe Samsung's flagships are too much phone for your needs.

"Exploding" note 7s... haha... Has a single one actually "Exploded"

So far, post recall, 1 single phone has burned... Doesn't this happen to every cell phone every 500,000 units? Or some other ridiculously minute percentage...

Or am I wrong and these never happens to other cell phones?? I'm honestly asking. 1 incident post recall isn't really "data" is it?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
Actually, none of the pics I've seen have shown a phone that "exploded" or even "burned." They all look pretty similar where the right side where the battery lives got incredibly hot and melted the plastic digitizer. The plastic parts like the home button didn't even get hot enough to melt. The battery is pretty small physically so I'd imagine the event comes on fast and ends almost just as quickly.

Here's the aftermath of a "burning" and "exploding" Note7. While I'm sure its a pucker moment it doesn't look much different than putting a high iron on synthetic material.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] millicent:
If there was a phone today that would even remotely compare to the note, s-pen aside,

I would return mine and buy it today. Unfortunately there is none, not today, and probably not until the next note.

I've don't have any evidence other than life experience.... Surely some of those reports were from some insurance scammers... Hell my wife even joked around and said i better make that phone burn my leg so we could have a nice vacation !

Just knowing humans tells me a minimum of 10 percent is from INTENTIONAL ... Too easy to burn your phone and your leg - get a lawyer and settle for $10 - $20k

All US carriers now accepting replacement Note 7 returns.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Darriousx:
So I saw that all carriers are confirming an exchange from a couple articles and have seen official statements from Verizon, Sprint, and At&t but not T-Mobile?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
You said 1/3 of the ~90 pre-recall reports were "fraudulent or intentionally misleading". When asked for evidence, you cited two articles which document zero claims (by Samsung or by any investigator) of fraudulent or misleading reports among those 90, and a grand total of one fraudulent claim worldwide (that was not pre-recall).

Yes, I know that the clickbait article you quoted used the word "fake" with regard to 26 reports. But that's their own misleading paraphrase, not Samsung's actual wording, and it's unsupported by any evidence in the article. If they'd bothered to quote Samsung directly, they'd have used the word "false" rather than "fake", which is how responsible news outlets reported Samsung's statement.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ekerbuddyeker:
Madness.

What bugs me is that I may switch back (again) to the S7 edge, and I originally sold my perfectly good Note5 at $350 less than I paid for it, which is better for me than the edge and just as good.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dottat:
Well with all four major US carriers now accepting returns on the note7 "safe" replacements I would say the writing is on the wall. Like it or not, they likely have some better info on this than we can all speculate.

The facts at this point (without even getting into the investigations)

1) Resale value of the premium note 7 will not recognize the original retail price in any way shape or form. The market for them will be limited.

2) Public entities are likely to ban the use/possession of these devices (Air/rail/etc).

3) Samsung will likely dedicate fewer resources into seeing the OS on these phones updated as the majority of their internal resources are going to be wrapped around this debacle for years. Heads will roll. This will cause ALL teams involved with the phone to regroup.

4) All four major US carriers have announced today they will accept returns/swaps on the "safe" replacements. What do they know that has them doing this so soon? Writing on the wall?

It's pretty ugly overall. I can honestly see why/how Samsung could pull the plug.

The phone is a great phone.. Are we all willing to accept the above in exchange for what we paid?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] B3501:
I agree, I think we'll see a complete recall next week and probably end of the Note 7, I think there's an inherent design flaw that "crushes" the battery. Samsung will rush out the S8 and rebrand the Note 8 next year, the Note brand is now synonymous with exploding batteries. These carriers aren't accepting returns now for nothing.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
That's a bunch of assumptions. What happens next depends on the post mortem of the Note7 on the Southwest flight. If the story ends up being in any way fabricated the Note7 replacement program and sales of new Note7's will continue as they were. The same applies if whatever happened to that particular Note7 was unrelated to the specific battery issue that started this whole mess. If in fact Samsung rushed the replacement program and has to do a recall on the recall then I totally agree with you the Note7 is toast and suggestions in the media that Samsung pull the plug on it aren't far fetched.

We here on XDA represent a small hobbiest community that cares more about mobile devices than the vast majority of consumers. While we're all fretting and speculating over this the masses are unaware or peripherally aware. I'd say less than half the people who see and comment on my "wow, that blue is a really cool color" Note7 even register when I say its a Note7. The other half range from "is that the phone I read something about" to "did you have to exchange it?" None duck and cover because they fear its going to hurt or maim them.

If things continue the way Samsung (with Government approval) intended than in a month this will be old news. Especially here in the U.S. where we're coming in to the final stretch of the most bizarre presidential election of all time. And with the GBP at a 30 year old the UK has more to worry about than a smartphone. You can also bank on the media going wild if any phone from any OEM has a battery problem. So if LG draws the short straw and one of their phones overheats it's going to be "LG latest smartphone vendor to suffer from battery problems." People have short memories and the media has created a form of ADD when something gets overplayed.

Time will tell how this story ends.
