Re: A New day with my replacement Note 7
Then Samsung should issue a cert saying that it's a replacement phone.

///i wouldn't worry too much about the sticker or dot as both of those seem to be the US barcode inventory. Before people were pulling up the manufacturing dates for the battery in things like ES File Explorer. I can't recall which file they were looking at, but you should be able to find it on the board without too much trouble. From what I recall reading any of the ones listed with a manufacturer date of September 1st or later are safe.Well I have received my new replacement Note 7.
Firstly, no blue S sticker or little black dot to indicate it is safe.
Anyone else got any satisfaction with regards to knowing if their replacement device is TRULY safe?
As mentioned by myridean it apparently only shows at 100% charge, so most people probably will not ever see it unless they pull up the battery window when pulled into the charger and at 100%.Do you have the green battery indicator in the status bar?
Revised Galaxy Note7s will feature green battery indicators in the status bar
Doesn't sound very useful if it only displays when the phone is charged at 100%. That's a very brief time to check it.Unfortunately the above link only applies to Note 7s bought in the US before September 15th.
However, according to Mobile Syrup, a Canadian focused Android source, the Canadian replacements have a green battery light not white when it is fully charged as they are using the Chinese ATL batteries to show the replacement phones are not the same ones that were sold before the recall.

OP is residing in Canada, so that may not be an option there.FWIW, you can mail the Note 7 phone by UPS ground - they are accepting Note 7's via ground in the US - see https://www.ups.com/content/us/en/about/news/service_updates/20160915_samsung.html.
To quote:The absence of the sticker is a major issue - airlines won't let you use that phone no matter what if they can't clearly identify as a replacement
, so unless you plan to take your box with you on your flights it doesn't matter what your box says.Those indicators are only on the boxes, so unless people start carrying their note7 around in the original packaging, they're not going to matter to anyone else.
This in Canada or the US?
I'm curious now if my local store has some.
what part of ohioMy one local store in OH claims approved by 21st and filtering into stores 1 to 2 weeks after. Other store said on the 21st
A mistake???I would be ticked off for sure.I just got back from Best Buy in Chesapeake Va and was informed the email they sent me was a mistake! I am not a happy camper!!!! I will give it another week and than going back to our old phone. Sorry for not giving everyone better news! I got there at 9:15AM so waiting for nothing.
Samsung email said no later then 21st. 1 to 2 weeks. I bet they just didn't get the emails from the upper management.My one local store in OH claims approved by 21st and filtering into stores 1 to 2 weeks after. Other store said on the 21st
The phone so far has worked beautifully has expected but I am still very cautious in my use because of obvious possibility of this being a defect as my previous one.
I'm hoping they arrive soon too. I've been scoping the AT&T forum to see when people start getting theirs, then I may call to see if they have any. Lot's of "authorized retailers" around, but I only go to AT&T corporate stores. The nearest to me are in Union Square, the Empire State Building and on Madison in the 40s. I'll give them a call starting next week.
