Idk, in the Netherlands we did not have access yet, I am hoping to get mine tomorrow, will let you know. In Germany, UK, France and Spain they are already around I think, strange that they are not exploding?

If this Note fails I am not going for another high-end phone with so many excellent midsegment phones on the market. the S-pen is the only feature worth all that extra money for me. But I am hoping it won't fail... and I still love my Note 4.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] B3501:
Anyone that's saying this phone is still safe is in denial. The carriers will be talking to Samsung behind the scenes and this "pull off the shelfs" will become a recall sooner or later. Question is, what will Samsung do now?! Easier to scrap the phone and rebrand next year than a redesign.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
I'm half full about things and life. I'm half empty about people because while most are above board there are a shocking number who are opportunists or limelight seekers. 1/3 of the 90 people reporting initial incidents flat out lied about what they experienced. Like you said, Southwest guy's story will be investigated and communicated shortly. A government agency is involved so the stakes for Southwest guy are definitely higher if what he's claiming is inaccurate. Just like the stakes are higher for Samsung if what Southwest guy is saying turns out to be true.

Here's what was said when replacements started shipping...

Regulators ordered Samsung that Galaxy Note 7 replacement batteries go through x-ray testing before shipping, and that Samsung conducts additional quality testing going forward. According to Reuters, South Korea ordered Samsung to take additional measures to ensure that the batteries used in the Galaxy Note 7 are safe. The Korean Agency for Technology and Standards approved the recall plan and said the replacement batteries are safe. The agency instructed Samsung to have its supplier conduct x-ray testing on the batteries before they’re even shipped. Samsung also has to carry out its own inspections. ​

Like Southwest guy I have a replacement AT&T Note7. It literally came in the day I picked up it up at the AT&T Corporate Store. The AT&T guy and I both noticed it had been opened and resealed twice. I'm pulling this completely out of my butt, but perhaps Samsung X-rayed original Note7s and deemed those that passed the test safe for sale. Meaning my 9/7 build replacement may have been an original that was released for sale - hence the box being opened and resealed. So if Southwest guy's replacement Note7 was an X-rayed original maybe there's a flaw in what the X-ray's proving or disproving. But with .01% affected drawing the short straw is still Powerball odds.

As said many times already, we'll know more soon.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] nomailx:
So what you're saying is... If your device didn't explode just hold on to it. Better than exchange it for a Device that may have have passed the test but may be still faulty...

This means that Samsung needs to be Clear about what they did with the returned devices.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
The U.S. and Korean Governments both approved and/or ordered what Samsung needed to do to prove their phones safe and begin reselling them. Are you suggesting XDA members are in a position to second guess their judgement?

I quote:

"The Galaxy Note 7 reportedly burned through the carpet and damaged the plane’s subfloor, according to a colleague of Green’s who got back on the plane to grab a personal item".

In the actual photo shown there is no sign of burned carpet and the mobile is sitting on said carpet not touching the subfloor?

Since when did airline authorities allow passengers BACK on said plane to "Grab a personal item"? Absurd comment.

Smells very VERY odd to me so I am not eating it.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] B3501:
The odds of it going "pop" when powered down, taxiing out on a plane etc etc must insanely small, then he says "I'm getting an IPhone! . This all reeks to be honest.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
Funny, those things are the first things I thought about too. The one thing that's extremely hard to stage though is an overheating Note7. If the Note7 in question hadn't previously overheated how could Southwest guy have gotten it to overheat on command? If the whole thing was staged and it had previously overheated how could he have faked heat and smoke severe enough to cause Southwest to cancel a flight?

So I think it's safe to say Southwest guy's Note7 overheated on a plane this morning. Questions remaining are why and more importantly, if it is in fact a "safe" replacement, what failed in the recertification process? I'm sure Korean and U.S. Government bodies are asking the same questions and they outrank us. ;)
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BozQ:
Here in Singapore, there are a couple of people who had to replace their replaced units, due to battery issues.

While charging, the battery got unusually warm that the screen got damaged. And charging took 5 hours in "fast charge" mode.

Apparently, the replacement units are still using Samsung SDI batteries.

I hope this gets resolved soon. It sucks to see the Note 7 in this state.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] B3501:
What an absolute mess for Samsung.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Most unfortunately due to human behaviour, regardless of the official outcome, Samsung is going to face a real lose over this reporting-event. I sincerely hope Samsung and the authorities involved investigate this alleged incident as soon as possible. As you write its a mess. I am tempted to write more but I have to not give in to my feelings and just wait and see. I do hope all goes well for Samsung though.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] teegunn:
So I know that lithium battery based phones and electronic devices have had these issues for years with lithium based batteries going bad like this. Iphones have had batteries overheat/blow up (whatever you want to call it) for years, even the newest one. Are there any statistics on the percentages of other brands and devices (not just apple, all smartphones) have with overheating problems with their lithium based batteries? How much of a problem is this just with Samsung phones as opposed to other phones for instance? Just wondering what we are really looking at for the actual scope of the problem compared to all similar devices. If such data exists, it would be interesting to see it.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
I suspect if such information existed it would be held in the Vatican archives? THE only brand I know to have taken responsibility over such an incident is Samsung with the Note 7. I have read of cases of identical incidents across the brand board but never have they been officially acknowledged.

With this new incident already Samsung shares have dipped.

Ryland
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] GeorgeP:
I would say hard, but not EXTREMELY hard. Piercing the battery can lead to runaway reaction (explosion).

Before the flight:

- Hair dryer to open up the case, make a small hole in back and replace.

On plane:

- Pierce the battery

Why, in the picture, don't we see any sort or type of fire extinguisher repellent on the device such as white powder etc? Are the cabin crew so untrained they didn't grab the first fire extinguisher and treat the alleged device?

On thing for sure is the reports do NOT match the pictures. I see no burned carpet and certainly no sign of a burned subfloor as mentioned in the reports? Again what airline would allow a passenger back on board, after a full emergency evacuation, to collect a personal item?

Ryland
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ekerbuddyeker:
I bet there are an awful lot of very nervous people at Samsung today.... I for one am uncomfortable [again] with the concern that it's an unsafe device. Perhaps there is an inherent design flaw in the 7 that causes the battery to overheat, and not the battery at fault at all. We need answers, although I doubt of we will ever really get the truth.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
What battery does your crystal ball work on. Come on stop this. Lets wait and see. knee jerk reactions are of zero value in this situation. Until I hear differently from an official source, I will use my Note 7 as I have all my previous devices.

Lithium ion bats

Most lithium ions will catch fire when damaged. This aint limited to samsung phones. He dropped it. Wish we could see the whole phone to see if its sabotaged. Watch some videos on you tube of people hitting phones with hammers and its not uncommon for battery to catch fire.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Be nice, your post adds nothing to what is already a stressful situation for many of us. What ego has to do with supporting Samsung I have no idea?

Samsung has a track record of being innovative and they produce some decent equipment. If a member here defends Samsung it is their right to do so and a proper, open, honest thing to do if their experience has been good.

You have obviously not had good Samsung experiences but being impolite and taking shots at fellow members does nothing to improve your own status here.

I will defend Samsung if I find it the correct thing to do for me. That is not ego but the honest thing to do. :good:

If my experience changes I will be the first to speak up and say so BUT not make personal comments about other members. Samsung made the product there is no one else's name on the Note 7 so the ball should and must stop with them. I think the vast majority of posters here have been highly patient and require the facts before jumping to conclusions as you are doing. It is a mature thing to do to wait and see the final outcome and not sentence Samsung to death before we have even had the trial or heard the official evidence.

Do you hear yourself?

Why would YOU listen to half a dozen of random strangers that have literally zero credibility instead of the manufacturer THAT MADE YOUR PHONE!!!

Dude, Samsung isn't out to get us. Yes, it's a business, and yes it's out to make money just like all the other businesses out there. HOWEVER, Samsung did the right thing a month ago by issuing a recall. I trust the company to do the right thing again. If it says a 2nd recall isn't necessary, I will believe them.

Not issuing a recall when it's truly necessary will hurt them much more in the long term. That's why they issued the 1st recall. They'll do right by us, but for now, just sit down and take a chill pill. Wait and see how things play out.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] apprentice:
No, it isn't delusional or absurd. You dismiss it with a far more ilogical example.

My point is simple. The chances of a Note 7 being affected by this issue, if affected the chances of it actually catching fire, if it catches fire the chances of it actually doing enough damage that harms you, your wife and your kids... is minuscule compared to you driving them down a freeway. I am talking about putting things into perspective. I am talking about how everyone is going crazy and getting all ridiculously paranoid about this. This frenzy is doing far too much damage and has a knock on hysteria effect. That's what I am talking about!!

Especially when unconfirmed, untested and not yet fully investigated reports are still being banded about by the paranoid and ill informed.

And before you go all crazy on me, calling me irresponsible, then I am happy to have got my phone exchanged and I am happy with my replacement. Until I am told to hand it back for yet another one or a refund then I am happy to carry on using it, for all the above reasons I have mentioned.

They did stop sales. I was in there at 2:50 today to exchange my V1 and loaner S7E to get the V2 (don't like the S7E and don't want stuck with it) and the V1 was just about returned when the manager came out and stopped the process because they JUST got an e-mail to stop exchanges/sales. That was at 3:20. So they sent me on my way with both boxes and a "good luck". Hopefully this all gets sorted out soon.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Sirdragonx:
What about all the iphones that have blown up? Do a search on Google. LION batteries blow up. Yes, I admit that there is a possible problem, but a why all the attention when the same thing has happened with other manufacturers. I believe this has been a smear campaign on Samsungs reputation by the media. 5 out of several million is no different statistically as the number of iphones blowing up.

And no, I'm not a Samsung fan boy and actually been an apple person for a long time. I'm just pointing out the inconsistencies that exist with a biased media. I've learned not to believe everything you read and to get the solid facts before I jump to any conclusion.

Right now with all the hype, do you know how much fame or better yet how much money a person can get if their note blows up? Or even how much fame a reporter can get by being the first to report another case?

Sorry but I smell a rat. Let the government finish its investigation and we'll get a better answer. All the carriers are pulling them for liability reasons, not because there is a problem. The problem hasn't been identified so lets see before jumping to conclusions. If the investigation comes out that there is a design flaw then I will be the first to advocate a total recall but I'm not going to jump to conclusions without true facts and not reports.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Nitemare3219:
I agree this is getting blown out of proportion. I'm not saying it's not an issue... certainly is, but no serious fires or injuries have occurred. As mentioned, you have better odds of being maimed or killed every time you get in your car. Nobody is crying wolf over the tragic number of people killed each day in car crashes and looking for ways to prevent it. Instead, people choose something stupid like a device recall to get their pants in a bunch over. I hate society. :rolleyes:

Maybe he was assigned to this particular task? It makes a lot more sense to have 1 person cover it all, who is familiar with each story, details, etc. instead of fragmenting coverage across multiple journalists.
