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

Re: U.S. and Samsung tell Galaxy Note 7 owners: Power down now

AT&T told me the same thing said the Samsung Rep had been in to let them know that they would be in next week and previous owners would get them first and then anyone else who wanted to purchase would be after that

And that's why this situation has been made worse by Samsung's bumbling response. It's a wonder a company so large can be so dysfunctional.

I'm afraid Samsung's site is probably more accurate than a local store.

Do you people still think the Note 7 a week from now will be in stores to swap, or is that off the table with the gubermint involved now?

I wonder if they can force the carriers to disable all Note 7s? Wow.

 

[shadoweave]

Any chance the CPSC will force carriers to discontinue service to note 7s' until the issue is resolved?

No. They cannot. Airlines can though. However the N7 is not really safe. There are more burning up than makes the news. My friends caught fire when he dropped it on the coffee table (2 inches).

Never have I seen such a big ball of crap over a phone.
Don't worry Samsung is going to give everyone a $25. bill credit for all their trouble. :-\

If you are on Verizon, you will get $25 off accessories

eBay should ban all listings and remove it from their catalog. Same for sites like swappa. Act like the device hasn't been released yet.

Sorry but i gotta come to my "fav site" SWAPPA's defense again. SWAPPA pulled all listings of Note 7 as of midnight Sept 1, 2016... they don't want you buying any phones that go boom anymore than you do : )

Samsung giving the $25 credit is, to me, a joke. With all the misinformation and carrier's having little to no clue on this process, it makes the purchase of this phone a burden. Shouldn't it be fun and exciting to get new tech? I've been a long time Samsung owner and will continue to be but this scenario has been nothing short of a Three stooges episode. Or maybe I should say Abbot & Costello's "Who's on first?" skit. I know, I dated myself.

Damn. Mine works fine. No issue's. Go figure. I must have one of the 0.1%.

Thats awesome. But I hope sites like them do the same too. Any site that allows users to buy/sell electronics where it's possible to get these devices.

I have no issue with samsung, its the carriers that have turned this into a mess .
I also will continue to support samsung.
I like being able to smart connect/mirrow my phone to my samsung tv a fun way to preview your media

Samsung needs to seriously consider offering a FREE Samsung Protection Plan for Note 7. Maybe federal government and CP will suggest this. If the iPhone 7 wasn't being launched it would be easier to recover.

Just charged my Note 7 using the scary wall charger and cable. No problems at all.

I seriously have no problem with my Note 7.

 

[Blues Fan]

At this point should we expect new devices any time soon?

Well done, my friend. I'm with you. Charging and using with no problems.

How to tell a new SAFE Note 7 from the "explosive" version...

Okay folks, this article hit earlier today and hopefully the labeling will be global:

​

So there will be a sticker with a black square on it, and perhaps a second sticker with an "S" on it.

I seriously have no problem with my Note 7.

I dont think the guys jeep burnt to the ground, or the guys garage burnt up, or the guys motel room got damaged on the first, second or 20th charge. I bet they used the big scary charger a few times before the damage occurred.

I am still using mine and am not scarred. I am charging in a safe environment. Just wish I had a comparible choice to replace this note 7 with considering the Note 7 was the only reason I upgraded early to begin with. I would keep it but it's looking like the replacement may take some time now. I just want to set up a phone to my likings and be done with it now!

Yah know what? I'm gonna go shop for cases....this is turning into a big mess. I already returned my Note 5 , I don't have a back up phone, I don't want a s7 edge or whateva it's called or a different phone and I need my phone for work...so I am waiting for a Note 7 replacement, whenever that happens. Gonna go get some nice cases, at this rate....this is going to be a long haul. When they ban the phone all together it will be time for a Note 8.......
