R.I.P Note 7, it was arguably the best Android phone until it caught fire. Note 7s incoming.

AT&T has stopped sales. T-Mobile has stopped sales. Verizon has no Note 7s in stock. You seriously believe that the carriers -- already bitten by the first fiasco of a recall -- will restart sales later on? At this point it appears that the Note 7 is dead and won't be supported by the carriers even if by some miracle the CPSC doesn't mandate a 2nd recall.
If there is a 2nd recall, the carriers won't allow the devices on their networks and will surely have Samsung kill them remotely. If there is no recall, the carriers will in all likelihood no longer sell the Note 7. Will not support the Note 7 and there will be no updates forthcoming. You're welcome to keep an essentially zombie phone.
Edited to add: Now in Australia, Samsung has halted shipments of "safe" Note 7s to Telstra
Samsung is ‘pausing’ shipments of the Galaxy Note 7 to Telstra, says internal memo - The Verge
So now another major carrier is halting sales and they have none in stock. I seriously doubt they'll sell anymore unless, again, there's a miracle solution to this new rash of fires.
Thanks for the info, I'm watching it. If it does get hotter than 103° I try to unplug and turn off. It just sucks because this is the phone I'm not supposed to be worrying about. Also it has done this while it wasn't charging, once while updating a crap load of apps and another time when using my hotspot.I have Z Force. The hottest I've seen is 109°. That was using the Motorola charger which is 30 Watts. Unplugged and it dropped rapidly.
If you're on Verizon, especially when another promotion happens, probably Black Friday.Three words...Moto Z Force!
Drama effect? Are you kidding? Samsung has almost reached the threshold where the replacement units are in the same position as the original units. It is actual drama, not perceived. If there are any more replacement units defective, there are only 2 choices-second recall or discontinue the N7. If the latter is done, you can guarantee there will be a worldwide disabling.
How many people are realistically going to stick it out with a second recall?
I wished it were unlocked.Three words...Moto Z Force!
That Deluxe they have a 6gb ram snapdragon 821 too if I've read about it correctly? Looks like a beast.
Is the Pixel XL going to be sold unlocked directly from Google or Best Buy since I use tmobile? If I'm correct only Verizon will sell it. besides, I don't want a carrier phone again after my tmobile ordeal right now.
"T-Mobile has stopped sales" I wish it was true, but as I type this they still have them for sale. I just took one all the way though to the purchase phase, just to make sure.
I agree. I'm going back to my 6sPlus until my Pixel arrives. Now I need to figure out how to recover/cancel the Next upgrade I used took get the Note.
