Qatar Airways: switch off your Note 7 completely during flight. Don't charge.

The flight attendant is making that announcement but I will pretend like I didn't hear it. I have the new 'safe' Note 7.

Where are you posting from?

Where are you posting from?

From the plane. Why ?

 

[smooth4lyfe]

I really hope Airlines get informed about the replacements

 

[nocaldawg]

Heard the same thing this am on Southwest

I was just wondering if you were posting from the U.S. and these were U.S. instructions.

Several airlines are doing this as a precaution. I took several flights between North America and the UK and within North America recently and every single flight they made the announcement.

I see nothing wrong with this. Actually I power down my phone on flights anyway. And I'm certainly not charging anything.

Same on United

Yes, it was New York to Doha.

Well, I would have preferred not to be a rule breaker. And I would have prefered the rule to have been updated to apply only to the recalled batch of Note 7. Just wishing to use my $900 phone on the plane like the other folks.

They are probably not informed. Sadly the media blowing it up out of proportion doesn't help Sammy either. I'm wondering when they will get a break.

They're taking every precaution as they should. How do they know these new batch of Notes are safe? Because Samsung says so? That's not a good enough reason yet. It's going to take time. Until then, power down your phone
