Yeah...that "no testing needed" thing isn't going to fly here...just because it didn't supposedly didn't happen in China doesn't mean a whole lot...they will test batches of those Chinese phones to make sure they don't have the same issues....

You would have to turn off wifi I believe your phone will only automatically update if connected to wifi. At least that was the case with my s5.
YOu guys don't know how the CPSC does things. They don't test anything. They make the company do all the tests, and they review the results. This thing is already moving at a decent speed through the government. Much of this is that the CPSC is not funded to test products. They are a middle man who ensures that companies follow the rules. Samsung will provide appropriate information to satisfy the CPSC and the release will be done. Proving that the batteries are safe in China can definitely be a piece of the puzzle.
Of course why mess up the truth with facts, when we can go back to "They lost my electric bill once, so I doubt they will release the Note 7 until after Christmas. Or my favorite.. "Apple is an american company, so the government will lock up the Note 7 until after Apple tells them to release it"

Ok, I get all that. You have to admit that now that the government is involved, the process will take longer? It definitely will not go faster, which is my point. They will cause this issue to drag out until every "i" is dotted and every "t" is crossed, whether it needs to be or not.

O.K. Folks - Get this, I spent an hour and a half this morning on the CPSC Web Site relentlessly trying to find a single tidbit about the Samsung Galaxy Note 7. Zip, Zilch, Nada... I was totally amazed that there wasn't even a News Flash after seeing that they were involved on all of our Local and National News Stations last Friday. What the hell is up with that? I searched in every way I could think of and under every category I could find on their site... nothing! Somebody else want to give it a try? Maybe it's my 66 year old brain starting to retire!

I don't know about accessories. but if f I wasn't able to return my 6s Plus today and accessories cause of their system still out of whack, then I would have had an exception because they can't do anything regarding activation.
Turned in my Note 5 the same way and it took about 10 days for them to send me a text (AT&T free msg) that they have received it and good to go.

I stopped into my local at&t store on my way home and asked about the recall. The employee I spoke with, who seemed reasonably well informed, told me:
FWIW
- They had no information on when the replacement N7s will be available
- I can get any smart phone as a loaner, not just the J3
- at&t will send me an email to my GMail address when the replacement N7s are available
- They plan to stockpile enough replacements to cover every unit that they have sold before they start releasing them to customers
FWIW

It stated in AT&T "official" recall notice. Answer is YES. They say you can return any accessories when you return your device.
You really need to read AT&T official recall information. Everything is pretty clear there.
What should I do with the Samsung Galaxy Note7 I purchased?
Because safety is our top priority, customers who purchased one of these Note7s are strongly encouraged to turn off their device and exchange for a new device as soon as possible. Customers with a Note7 may select a Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, Galaxy S7 active, a new Galaxy Note7 (pending approval the Consumer Products Safety Commission) or any other smartphone, and may also return any Note7 accessories. If a customer chooses another Samsung device, he or she will receive a bill credit of $25 per device.

Okay, I just returned my Note 7 at the AT&T store. They have no idea when the new ones will be in but they seem to be ready for it to be a while. I picked up a S7 edge for the meantime. I just had the note 7 perfectly how I wanted it too! Oh well. The S7 edge is a good phone, but it is no note 7! I will try to get the gear vr promotion while I'm waiting but I'll be happy when the new non-grenade note 7's come in!
According to another phone website, the replacements have begun to ship and we should be able to get them on Monday Sep 19!!!
New, safe Samsung Galaxy Note 7 units will feature green battery indicators

Just saw this also. Hopefully it's true. I wonder if the 7s that are already at the stores have this green battery indicator update already.
I hope the September 19th date holds true for usa also. Not trying to be a Debbie downer but samsung customer support, att, etc. All indicated a longer time frame or simply didn't know when they would be available. I really hope 19th holds true for usa customers...not sure if cspc will screw up on that for us though ..fingers crossed for 19th.
I agree I would just like to get the replacement phone and just be able to move on
I just called 3 "AT&T company" stores in Miami Fl. and each gave me a different answer. One said they are getting replacement phones next week. I was clear that I had a current Note 7 and needed to do an exchange, not a new purchase. He said next week, no specific day. One store said they had no idea and the other said to check the AT&T website that it is constantly updated with Note 7 info.
This is what is so frustrating. Everyone has a answer, but they are all different. For me, this is where Samsung has dropped the ball. Ill still stay with them because I don't like the iphone, but the lack of direct info from Samsung is not good.
