Flying with last year's processor...

Any quick charge 2.0 or better charger should provide good results.

Re: Official: Galaxy S8 Pre-Order Thread You can pre-order the cases on Amazon. I pre-ordered the protective case.

You should just stick with the iPhone then. The Note 8 will probably disappoint you.

I only use smartlock at home. I don't want anyone to be able to unlock my phone at work if I leave it sitting around.

If the issue were truly with the software allowing too much voltage and software alone, they would lock all their programmers in a room until they could develop a fix and push it out worldwide ASAP. It seems like there's a design flaw of some kind that's letting these batteries overheat.

If the fix were that simple it would have been done by now. This is a hardware issue.

Unless this is now 100% a software issue (unlikely IMO) Samsung will have to issue a formal recall. I don't think the carriers have any interest in yet another exchange program so there's no point in making replacements.

Once an official recall is announced there has to be a mechanism to allow everyone to return their phone for a very long time. The September 30th date was arbitrarily pulled out of a hat under the assumption Samsung would have replacements by then with no recall in place.

It's not official yet but it may as well be given the directive to power down and return the phones. My guess is on Monday the "official" recall will be announced.

Once the official recall is announced its likely that all the carriers will have to accept returns for a very long time.

Same. My wife has jump on demand and t force said it won't count against her. She just jumped to the s7 edge.

It could mean next year. Odds are the carriers will extend the return date a little but Samsung has made it clear they want people returning these phones now instead of waiting for a replacement.

I agree. If it's not in the stores by November it's toast.

The S7 edge is close to the perfect loaner IMO, if your carrier will play ball.
