Normally a bad cell is obvious within the first few charges showing at least one of these attributes:
Gets hot
Poor battery life
Goes boom
If none of those issues are exhibited early on, you should be good.
Samsung, the head of all of Samsung, said all phones would be replaced.People are saying different things. I don't know really what to think either. There was one article that said that phones made in China used a different battery supplier and were not being recalled. Mine was made in China so I hope that means it is safe. Other people's were made in Korea which is where the problems started. There needs to be some concrete information given.
Yes I think they will.Do you think everyone who cracked their screens will get new ones as well? Maybe an out for them

I agree.
Currently kicking back to see what my carrier (T-Mobile) says about resolving the issue. (if there is one with our phones).
So they won't give you loaner device. You can get a replacement which will be available in 2 weeks. I wonder if you can just wait the 2 weeks and get a replacement in store.They just updated their statement:

I just called T-Mobile. The lady told me that you will get exactly what you have because they don't want you to get something different. I asked her about being without a device while waiting for a new one and she said you won't. That they are working with Samsung to get the replacements and they most likely will be available by next week. That T-Mobile will contact you before anything is sent out to you and you can keep your current device until the new one arrives and then you return it.hoping there wont be any color issues with the exchanges....i want what I have now..no exceptions
unless samsung wants to bring the gold variant due to the inconvenience

It doesn't matter. Samsung announced it is all Note 7's.How do we tell where our phones were made?

Download the app called Phone Info. That will tell you.How do we tell where our phones were made?
Got my ATT version through Best Buy. They just told me that their directive has been to tell customer to contact Samsung directly. This will have to change as they get more details ..etc. But so stupid of BB to make a statement/directive like that. Would be so easy to say "we are determining next steps with Samsung and will have more details asap.". But instead they gave me the Heisman
