That's what Samsung said weeks ago about the Chinese Note 7, didn't stop the Chinese Note 7 from burning up one after another.

At this point, anyone who still trusts Samsung about "your version of the Note 7 is safe" is pretty much blind.

Again I was only posting what i was told by Samsung Aust and making aware to the forum, their response to US note 7 as told to me, whether I believe it or not wasn't the issue
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] htcplussony:
The Samsung HK originally said theirs was safe too
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] andyahs:
Which Chinese note7 have burnt up one after the other?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Spike96:
Everyone is overreacting here.

Whether this was a replacement device or not, IT IS ONE REPORT!

Phones blow up all of the time. But no one cares because they are ISOLATED INCIDENTS. As is this one, the southwest explosion is an ISOLATED INCIDENT.

The only reason it is blowing up in the media is because Galaxy Note 7's were recalled for blowing up (pun unintended). Samsung had reason to believe that 32 cases made them responsible, so they recalled 2.5 million phones. That is a 0.00128% incident rate.

This is ONE case, that still isn't even confirmed yet!!! Why are you guys stressing so much? Having your phone be the one phone that blows up out of millions is like winning the lottery. Unless there are AT LEAST nine more replacement explosions, everyone needs to chill out.

Wow, this is fun. Maybe I'll get a third free 256gb micro sd card! Keep the replacements coming, I can even stop using a case! Am I the only one here loving this?!

Actually dude...we are up to three. Two of which have now happened in the US. One in the southwest jet and one in Farmington which happened yesterday.

It's been posted already but read this..

That's the fork in the note 7 in the us. It's done.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] dopamine5ht:
I hate to have to return it because of an overreaction. I wish there was some better supply chain notes so things can be localized.

I am just concerned powers that be overreact, it will all over because they will push another crippleware firmware and we will have no choice to return it.

Eagerly waiting for what the investigation turns up so we have clear facts, instead of 1000 blogs crying doom.

Its not the end of the world, I could always go back to the S7 EDGE or consider other options. Its the aggravation of having to wait in line yet another time.

Downloaded a app called "phone info Samsung" it shows me that my Note 7 was manufactured in Vietnam, would be interesting finding out where ppls Note 7's were made.....if not a cpu issue, could it be a manufacturing issue based on where its made???

I'd replace my note 7 but there is literally not one other phone that compares to it in terms of build quality and a few features
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Spike96:
WOW! THREE unconfirmed reports!

Quick! Call the bomb squad!

Do I really have to say it again? 32 + MAYBE 3 = 35 / 2.5 million phones. Still 0.0014%

ACTUALLY laughed out loud at this one:

Please tell me that was sarcasm.

I agree no reason to freak out, but keep in mind this realized percentage over such a short term can be a poor indicator both ways (i.e. it's entirely plausible this percentage could accelerate...not necessarily linear).
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mav42:
Makes you wonder why there are no reports from the rest of the world... Surely Europe would have purchased a few, and Aust/NZ... why haven't these countries have issues? this is what leads me to think it could be the way US note 7's are set up ..as for my Note 7 which i got 12 days ago no issue at all
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] notefreak:
Another emotional post here. If Note line goes down, there is nothing out there for me to use. I have been faithful to Notes for years. I have checked what else is out there and it just won't do. Notes have progressed to the screen specs I need among other things. If I can't use a phablet for my needs, I barely need a phone. Hardly anyone calls or texts me. I do 99% of my non face to face communication through means other than calls and texts. So I won't need to take a phone everywhere. It might increase my use of computers but not likely, they take long to boot, aren't as easily portable. Could be good in the long run, better for my eyes, less internet shopping (gonna miss those usps priority boxes though), smaller (if at all existant) phone bills, more natural approach to life. Lol
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] radioraheem2:
So you think Samsung, the company whose reputation and brand is on the line, would be more honest about what really happened than multiple reports from people who have no connections to each other..

that's why i posted the thing, because i've long noticed the dismissive, victim-blaming attitude from Note 7 owners. going as far back to the very first report of fire (the one that was on youtube), the immediate response was "i bet that person was using a cheap Chinese charger. that's what he gets!"

i'm a note 7 owner and i like the phone too, but i just have to call out blind fanboy-ism when i see it. the continual "don't listen to media reports, all they do is make up stuff. and also don't listen to the random people who have reported fires. they are lying" is just absurd for a neutral party to read after the 12th time.

The Verge Again !!!

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] radioraheem2:
ah, so three replacement units that Samsung went out of their way to fix has suffered from the same problem as the pre-recall batches (in the first three weeks of release), and yet you still think people are overreacting.

this is fanboy-ism at its best. what is it with you guys? it's kind of like very early on when i wrote a post saying i love the note 7, but it's slower than the Oneplus 3, some dude on here (AceRyan) immediately accused me of lying an saying i don't really own a note 7. the victim blaming on here is insane. so according to you, we can't believe ANY report until Samsung itself verifies it. ah ok cool.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] notefreak:
I wonder what the guy is threatening to do. This could be a fraud band wagon. Korea case proved fake, Chinese guy would NOT give up the phone for inspection. Wait. The Kentucky guy wouldn't either.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] robrob777:
Samsung owes an apology to SDI. There were reports weeks ago about the bad design of the cable connecting the battery. I don't even have the N7 but people keep critizing my Note 3, at work, at the airport everywhere, just because it is a Samsung+ it is a Galaxy + a Note.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mikesaa309:
I just find it strange how for one, the cases only seem to happen in select countries, correct me if I'm mistaken but I believe there are no cases of "safe" note 7's exploding here in the UK so far? So if these cases are true then is it only the Snapdragon variants? I also find it strange that this Kentucky guy is refusing to hand the note 7 to Samsung which is stupid because if he did that then Samsung could find the cause and help prevent further issues though if it's all true then they failed the first time round.

I've had my replacement note 7 for 3 days now, each night I put it on charge like I do with all my previous phones and it hardly gets warm if at all. I just don't see why or how a phone will explode for no reason even if it's like someone playing a game and the cpu and gpu gets hot then I can see why the battery will explode or if the phone is on charge or if the phone and battery is damaged in anyway. But just sitting there on a table or whatever then I don't see why it would suddenly explode. Until Samsung or someone provides more details (another thing that annoys me about exploding phone reports is lack of details) then I'm not gonna worry about my phone exploding and I'll probably continue using it even if these cases turn out to be true and that there is still a problem with the safe note 7s my phone seems fine so far though might still explode one day but until then I'll keep using it lol.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Aimara:
Ermmm simple Google explode model of phone of people who criticised your note 3, show them image, laugh back at them, see their stunned face, end of story
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] kat.hy:
So, it turns out, there have been 3 incidents of Note 7 fires this past week from the replacement Note 7s that are supposedly safe!!! I just read it on The Verge. And Samsung knew about the 3rd one last Tuesday and said nothing.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] notefreak:
Are they supposed to make news against themselves? Also, the guy seems to be threatening them with something. Why would he do that?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] torickray:
I got my replacement yesterday. Felt that the charging process is slower than previous one.

So far never heard of Note 7 explosions in malaysia, neither old one nor the new one. And malaysia is a hot country.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] beachletter:
There has been seven cases in Mainland China plus two in Hong Kong and counting. I posted this earlier: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=69000950&postcount=57

Reality has shown that ALL Note 7 are at risk regardless of what Samsung says. Doesn't matter if it has SDI or ATL battery, doesn't matter if it shows green battery icon, doesn't matter if it is a replacement unit or has black square on the box, doesn't matter from which country, they're all dangerous.

The only reasonable action for any Note7 user to take is to get a refund or exchange for another model ASAP. The Note 7 might be good when functioning, but it's not worth the risk keeping a health and fire hazard that could send you to the hospital without warning.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] notefreak:
You have absolutely no proof for such statements. Noone does.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Novarider:
Why wouldn't the guy from KY return the phone to Samsung so they can investigate what happened? He has pictures and spoke to the local news about it and has hospital records. It's not like he wouldn't have proof if he needed it in the future.

Here we go with the "just return the phone" people again. Not everyone has that choice.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] sathara:
It can be a paid incident . nobody can reach Samsung in all ways , camera , speed , storage speed and screen etc. . so all the OEM have issues with Samsung . and next s8 tipped to be full screen zero bezel . I got say note 7 is a super device. I think the whole battery thing is an inside job . all most everyday note 7 explosion news show up in media again and again.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] mav42:
IF????? there were 7 New v2 note7 fires in China it would be all over the net, hell the the 3 in the US pop up on google just by typing in Note 7 in the search , yet NOTHING for China , except for the 1 which looks like a fraud case, as for the 2 in HK i find nothing , seems to me you just wanted to hype the story with no facts
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ashk91:
They should recall all note 7 and introduce a note 7S, tweaked design and internals should fix the problem people have with perception
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] notefreak:
If they do that, they should sell it to N7 owners at 50% discount.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] B3501:
4 incidents that we know of.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] apprentice:
I don't care how many times Samsung do a recall, if I have to go through it another 10 times I will oblige, because I simply do not want any other phone. The alternatives just don't match my needs. A 5.7" AMOLED screen and S-Pen with removable storage and equal camera specs.

I don't want to downgrade!

I will accept the (still small risk) of a battery fire on my new version here, because I still maintain this is the best phone launched in 2016.

.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] kat.hy:
I agree with you that I would not want a downgrade and anything other than the incredible Note 7 is a downgrade. But I returned mine and will wait for the Note 7 successor next year.

I hope they learn from this and improve their quality control AND customer service.

---------- Post added at 07:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:22 AM ----------

I could see why Note 7 victims don't want to hand over their device to Samsung.... it makes it too easy from Samsung to make up that it was abuse of the phone that made it explode. Like in one instance they claim it was false because the phone shows evidence of a hard strike? Who's to say that Samsung "investigators" didn't do the hard strike?!! Or who's to say that Samsung would tell the truth?!
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
I hear you my friend. What are we to do? Like you I will only return my Note 7 if Samsung request I do so AGAIN.

I fear, however, that regardless of how we feel about the Note 7 and regardless of the situation we are going to have to accept that this phone is stuffed in terms of travel and resale.

I change mobiles regularly, I am a techno junkie. I may have kept the Note 7 for months or maybe a year or even more BUT I will have to think long and hard when I try and sell it or pass it to family as a hand me down.

Liking the Note 7 as we all do does not resolve some situations. Hindsight is a fine thing, however I said from the first week of recalls that Samsung should re-brand the Note 7 as the 7S, sort out the glass and address the battery-wiring problem. MAYBE they have done so and our mobiles ARE safe.....my point is we are now well past that point. Samsung can no longer control the damage done to both the reputation of the Note 7 and to Samsung mobile division itself regardless of justification. :( I repeat..regardless of justification. :confused:

I now own a mobile that I am highly satisfied with and cannot find a replacement for. I am now also genuinely concerned about travel with this mobile, concerned that the initial problem may not have been resolved and I am carrying around a potential fire hazard also resale values regardless of situation, are going to be deadly.

Its a genuine PIG of a situation to be in. I live in Europe and have yet to read of one single incident with a European Note 7.

I have to add I am not any sort of brand fan boy. I buy what I need to do a job and chop and change to ensure I get what I want and need.

This bloomin Note 7 is just incredible. There is nothing, and I mean nothing, I dislike about this mobile. I want to keep it. I fear that decision will not be mine for long though. That's a total shame but something we will all have to live with and make decisions based on our social obligations to others. If Samsung recall this mobile I will, most reluctantly, return it. What comes after I have no idea? Wait 12 months until the replacement comes out? :eek:

Feeling very despondent with the whole scenario. I have seen the best and worst in members since this situation started, I just wished it would end. I do wish the in fighting would stop, we all own one of these mobiles and all enjoy and acknowledge the device as simply incredible. At a time when we should be supporting each each other we are turning against ourselves? Typical human behaviour and sad to see. This fiasco is NOT our doing.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] borijess:
Do you think they will just offer the exynos version to the US? That will make this recall well worth it.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] B3501:
The (original) problem happens with the Exynos and Snapdragon, it makes no difference. In fact the Taiwan fire was an Exynos model.

---------- Post added at 12:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

I've resigned myself to keeping my old 6P this year. There's just nothing on the market today that compares to the Note 7. If there is a recall we just have to accept that Samsung has majorly screwed up.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] notefreak:
If there is a recall and no exchange... just realise you will probably never hold a Note in your hands again. It will kill the company. They have monetary damage from this already and they won't be able to aford a price drop for possible future Note model. This is that serious. That is why I am not inclined to returning it unless there is PROOF the phone is dangerous.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] apprentice:
Yep, pretty much echo my thoughts. I also have the Exynos version and so far it seems to be more reliable. I know there was the one in Taiwan but I am still clinging on to a

faint

hope that the Exynos might be the safer version. But I can dream!

At the end of the day, this will go two ways. The

genuine

incidents reported diminish, people move on and the Note 7 goes back on sale albeit with a tarnished reputation. Or it gets a second recall for a full refund because I do not think (though I hope I am wrong) they will be issuing replacements again - it would be ideal for me if they did, but I just can't see it happening. I just hope that either way they don't kill of the Note series. It has always been the model I go for each year (except when the UK didn't get the Note 5) So I will be very upset about that.

So yeah, pretty depressing stuff.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] nomailx:
Guys, You have a point here. The Snapdragon being more powerful in a focused performance may be more susceptible to heat and burn.

That may be why we don't see as much incidents in countries with Exynos versions.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] B3501:
If there's a recall and no exchange I'd imagine they'll follow the 60% charge FW again. In fact they may even disable the phones completely. I think the Note brand would be finished under the Note name it would have to be rebranded. Anyway, it's all speculation. The lack of communication from Samsung is really worrying though and the mistake text that guy had from Samsung..... Yikes. . Seems to point a problem.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] nomailx:
Guys, the reason why Samsung is Silent is because this is a mess they can't clean. What they will do now is simple. They will offer a Refund or an Exchange/Refund with a downgrade.

There won't be a 3rd Note 7 model that's for sure. Since 2 months now, the Note 7 is tagged as "Explodes". It's over. What they will do is push the S8 news with leaks as fast as possible.

You will soon see news as "S8 rumored to come with a 36k Screen, Intel Pentium i8 Pro 8800 Mhz, 24 cores processor, Nvidia 99999 GTX Turbo Plus GPU, a Matrix connection for full VR, and a private Satellite for best connection".

I'd accept the 80% charge limit. Is is how youbare supposed to charge the phones to keep the battery in best condition anyway.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Novarider:
I wouldn't accept 80% charge and you shouldn't either.

I would consider a different manufacturer but I really like Samsung pay.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] notefreak:
Why not. I try to charge it that way anyway.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Novarider:
Why are you only charging it to 80%? You paid $850 for this phone and your willing to cripple it?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] hkr:
We will soon after Introduction read about exploding S8 ...

It will happen as with any other phone, but the media will push it up ...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] notefreak:
Because it keeps the battery in best condition. Google it.

Samsung have messed up so badly. It's just not going to end up well for them with this.

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:54 PM ----------

How can you say this when Samsung admitted there was a fault? It's not a normal phone fire.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] apprentice:
I have a Samsung TabPro S (2-in-1 Windows tablet) and Samsung have actually put an option in the settings to limit the charge to 80% if you wish to (quote) "Preserve the life of the battery" It's pretty widely mentioned that this is better practice than going to 100%. That's not to say you shouldn't - and if you are planning on being away from a charger for any length of time 100% is better - but at home I keep mine between 20-80% So, if restricting it allowed me to keep the Note 7 it might be inconvenient but wouldn't be a major issue to me overall.

However I think if they recall the Note 7 again it's a strong possibility that something else is causing the battery to overheat not the battery itself. In which case crippling the charge might not be necessary.

.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ekerbuddyeker:
Samsung will survive this Completely. It's a monster company and they have literally hundreds of new models every year. Even if the chance is low of getting injured, they should pull the 7 to avoid the possibility of someone getting really hurt or a fire aboard an aircraft in flight. That would be harder to come back from. Disappointed? Definitely. Lost as to what device to move to? Completely. But the thought that it isn't safe, or that others think it isn't safe, outweighs everything.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] trocchietto:
I intuitively think that Samsung pays the price for the bloatware, I am optimistically inclined to think that if I will uninstall the 80 bloatware applications( with the famous 3th part program) on the Exynos tomorrow will arrive here in the Netherlands, will not have any problem at all.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Spike96:
Hey, I'm simply saying we can't be believing the victim and the media. SOMEONE with credibility has to confirm it. Whether it be Samsung, the US CPSC, a carrier.

Anyone can go out and intentionally blow up a dummy phone and say the ashes were previously a Galaxy Note 7. What would be the motivation? I don't know, litigation maybe? Now, I'm not saying that happened, I'm saying it's a possibility.

It's also more than possible (when you are dealing with over 2.5 million phones) that some of the old batch of phones got mixed in with the new batch of phones. I haven't read anything suggesting this, although it is probably the best explanation...

Where is your god damn skepticism?

It is best to wait for Samsung's comment on this one guys.

Even if all three cases were truly new replacement devices with good batteries that blew up. It's THREE phones. As I keep on saying, phones do blow up. iPhones have blown up, Nexus have blown up, HTCs have blown up. It's just that Galaxy Note 7's are getting covered by the media way more because of the previous recall.

the only product I'm a fanboy of is the Sony Playstation
