I thought I read an article saying that the green battery icon was only for S. Korea. I believe the article said the phones for the US would not have green battery icons.
I am disappointed with TMobile, they are keeping up this "Wednesday the 21st" thing up. When Samsung has clearly said "no later than the 21st"....But they are not saying whether they have them in stock or not. I will be calling them this AM again.
My Verizon store wasn't even crowded yesterday.... More workers than customers... Guess they had everyone on staff, working in anticipation of the iPhone rush that obviously didn't happen. At least, not at that location.
Last Friday I drove past a local Best Buy in Avon, In, 10 minutes before opening. Seven blue shirts standing outside waiting for the onslaught...however, no fanboys in sight.

I would rather look stupid and have the latest phone then smart with half baked improvements.
Does anyone else with a replacement have these new battery symbols?
There has to be a way for people to distinguish a good Note 7 from a bad one. Unless there's another way to easily distinguish it, green battery icon probably is the easiest and quickest method to differentiate the two.Well anyone with any sense would. I just can't imagine Samsung HAD to do that in order to fix the phone. I never heard reports that the normal looking icon was what was causing the explosions.

Ugh. That green battery icon looks freaking stupid. Especially on the AOD.
Is this something Samsung can remedy with a software update to the replacement Notes with the white battery icons?
What would keep the bad battery Notes from getting this update also?
This is what reporting the news should be. No hysteria and speculation. This is the the problem, how Samsung is rectifying, where you can find a a replacement, what new phone will look like... All great information that probably would have made the recall in the US go more smoothly. Good reporting doesn't bring good ratings though.Here's a video on YT showing the Korean replacements today.
