    Power Down and Don't Charge Note 7 per The Consumer Product Safety Commission

    Re: Folks still using the N7, probably best to turn off rapid charging. You should look on YouTube for videos of Lipo battery fires. It's not hard to believe that the phone catching fire in the center console would burn a vehicle down.

    Potential Ban of Note 7 on Planes by FAA? Yep.

    Time to take off the tinfoil hat. Yes, this is getting press because it's exciting for the news outlets. No, Apple isn't maniacally forcing it into the news. Samsung is the one who noticed the problem and recalled the device, which got the attention of the government. This is caused by Samsung.

    Potential Ban of Note 7 on Planes by FAA? Yep.

    It won't be. The FAA is all about risk management and it reduces risk to just say that the Note 7 isn't allowed.

    Potential Ban of Note 7 on Planes by FAA? Yep.

    Now it's banned on Delta and Virgin America. Starting tomorrow all Delta flights will have an announcement that you are not allowed to have a Note powered on or charging.

    Potential Ban of Note 7 on Planes by FAA? Yep.

    Virgin America just sent out an email to employees that they are banning them as well. You can bring it, bit it has to be off and no charging. Don't think it's been officially announced yet.

    HDR mode?

    I haven't watched a ton of video, but it makes sense. The brightness really cranks up when it is on.

    Google voice typing issue

    Settings, general management, language and input, default keyboard, setup input methods. In there you can disable the Samsung voice input method and it'll default to Google. Also jump back to the language and input menu and scroll down to Text-to-Speech and select Google in there.

    Is Sam's Club deal best?

    Re: Sam's Club Pre-Order I ordered mine early on the 3rd and my email says that it is reserved and available on the 19th and will be put back in stock the morning of the 20th if I don't get it. Sounds like your order is waiting for ones like mine to not be picked up.
