The Galaxy Note7 has been recalled for battery issues

Re: What happens if the Note 7 is recalled?

Well, if my phone get's recalled, since I pre-ordered it at the Verizon website, I hope I can just turn my Note 7 in at my local Verizon Store instead of having to ship it myself. And at the same time they can give me a new micro sim card for my previous phone and I can activate it right then and there with same number and services. I never reset my previous phone (I always wait a few months before I do that). So I wont miss a beat. Baddah-bing - Baddah-boom !!!

Lucky for me I still love my previous phone, but it was 2.5 years old and I just decided I wanted the hottest (no pun intended), sexiest thang comin' up.

Peace. Alan

Re: What happens if the Note 7 is recalled?

I've been charging up my Note 7 overnight since I got it two weeks ago and no explosions. I'm guessing there's only a few faulty phones and the tech websites are blowing this way out of proportion.

Re: If sealed batteries are a liability for cellphones should Samsung move toward swappable batterie

According to BGR, Samsung is blaming Korean ITM Semiconductor (one of the battery manufacturing plants) for making faulty battery packs. If this is true, I would agree that having removable batteries would be a lot cheaper to fix this issue but also so to pinpoint which phones are affected if the batteries were marked by the manufacturer. Now Samsung has to either replace the battery (which most consumers won't want), replace the phone with a new one or offer a refund. It's a $1100 where I live, so I would take the refund if it affected me.
Personally I never thought having swappable batteries was ever dated. I like that LG continued to make phones with swappable batteries. If this happened to the LG G5, it would have been an easy fix.for LG.

Re: What happens if the Note 7 is recalled?

I have 2 days left to return it. Problem is, I traded in my old device at Target, I have a spare Moto X Pure I can move to until this is all sorted out if need be. Between future resale and whatever options may come from a recall I am little nervous about it. My phone is working great and overall very happy, but this poses a real concern for me. Mine was produced in Korea on 8/9. Trying to figure out the best thing to do.

Maybe the mods should merge all these threads and make it a sticky

The best thing to do is wait for the Samsung statement.

Stuff getting blown out of proportion, unfortunately, is expected when you're in Samsung's position. Just like people rip and pile on Apple for something. Comes with the territory. If this was HTC, would be talked about as much because that many devices wouldnt have been purchased.

Re: Will you stick with the Note 7 if there is a recall or get different phone?

If they take my phone back and fix a potential problem with it, then it's now better than it was before. So there's no reason I'd want something else.

When my car got recalled, my bank didn't let me pick out an all new car lol.

Damn it!

Where is the Manufacture Date? Can't find it on the phone or the label on the box - found the Korea O.K.?

Ill take a new one, not a refurb, not mine repaired but a brand new in the box guaranteed one.

I'll stick with it. I bought the GN7 for a reason (S-Pen, multitasking, software features, display, etc).

What if you have to send in your phone and then send you back a refurbished unit. Then it would be the best phone that-maybe-fell-in-someones-toilet.

From what I've read. All samsung would do is replace the battery in your existing phone and send it back to you. Could be wrong though

If all the note 7s are recalled and give the option of getting a new unit or a refund, will you choose to get a new unit or use the refund and get a Iphone 7Plus later this month?

For me I would probably take a replacement unit. I'm so used to Android and love the Spen and Iphone doesn't offer a Note like phone.

I'm not sure about LGV20 because of their quality issues as well with their phones. Even Apple has issues too they try to always hide under the rug.

If they offer replacement Notes I would take it.

Best Note I've ever rocked - the screen, the camera, the multi-tasking, and on and on

Would most definitely stay with the Note 7

Note 7 Shipments Halted For Further Testing

sorta makes a few scratches on the screen not seem so bad by comparison to an "explosion right there on my kitchen counter".... But personally, the two scenerios are equivalent, really, cuz either way, 1st scratch on any phone's screen of mine, the phone has to "pack its bags" and find another home..might as well blow up...but that's just me...lol

Only had it two days so still in honeymoon period. Ask me this minute and I would take the replacement. Ask me in a week and I might not.
