Is a replacement Note 7 even possible at this point???

[turb0wned]

People didn't believe me on here when I said they have them at my Best Buy here in Hawaii. They have had the since last weekend.

Maybe the FAA will come out with some sort of sticker or card you can get once you verify your phone is safe before you board.

If they haven't already lost it, Samsung is losing the initiative. Not even using my Note7. It's lying in its cardboard tomb awaiting my disposition; which is to say the release date of LG's V20.

Re: The replacements are among us!!!

you can go with the iphone 7 if you want, looks like an amazing phone, but the Iphone plus 7s are sold out in every color. I am guessing I'll have my not before I would get the Iphone 7 plus.

Yep, if the CPSC does not agree with Samsung's data and corrective action / product isolation of units with bad cells, the S means nothing but more for the recall process.

An official recall would actually be bad, since means there is little to no confidence with Samsung's process.

It seems odd that Samsung would start shipping out replacement units to retailers without some confirmation or approval directly from the CPSC. What if CPSC says, "Nope, we're not convinced you did enough, or we need further QC testing." What then? Get all of those "fixed" units shipped back?

Double recall? Total recall?

I think Samsung was shipping the replacements before the CPSC said hold up...

Correct.

Samsung shipped them out BEFORE the CPSC got involved.

Huge risk for Samsung. If CPSC says no good all those sitting in the Best Buy back have to be sent back to Samsung.

Wrong. The CPSC process is a known process, it follows specific rules, and I am sure that Samsung is aware. These guys are not new at these things. The CPSC will clear the new ones, and that will be it. Give it a week or so.

Highly unlikely. Despite some issues, they really do know what they are doing. The CPSC doesn't do any testing themselves, they make the company do it, and Samsung was working on that for a while.

My bb here and Verizon stores have them in stock. Just waiting for the go ahead but 20th is what they are hearing from the upper management. It is what it is. If they officially announce the recall Friday and have exchanges ready by Monday would be good. Or both announcement and exchange in the same day. Will find out soon enough.

I seriously hope he hear something over the next couple of days

It took the CPSC took six months to complete its recall with hoverboards ... Let's hope this is not the trend for the Note 7.

Comparing this recall to the Hoverboard incidents are like comparing apples and tires...

Only in the US. If every where else in the world has theirs, won't we look grand.

Does anyone know when the Note will start shipping for the exchange program and when they will be available for purchase?

I'm in Canada, and I received an email from Fedex yesterday.

Follow this thread, I'll keep your updated

I read an article earlier that Samsung may make the battery icon green indicating you have a safe device.

If you took the time to read almost any other thread on the board having to do with the recalls/exchanges you would have seen that the exchange phones were received by carriers and stores over a week ago, you would have seen that they are for exchange not purchase, and you would have seen that release is pending CSPC approval which no one knows how long they will take doing (could be up to six months if you go off their past history). I highly recommend you go read the other threads.

I read an article earlier that Samsung may make the battery icon green indicating you have a safe device.

The battery icon can be different colors depending on what theme you have installed, what the power state is - full, discharging, low, etc, so a colored icon would be foolish.

Maybe the FAA will come out with some sort of sticker or card you can get once you verify your phone is safe before you board.

Those stickers would peel off awful leaving behind a residue and paper fragments ruining the phone. I'm sure someone could come up with something better.

I have been calling at&t and they have absolutely no idea when they will have replacements yet. They say they're waiting for Samsung.

Actually I think this might be worse than the hover boards.

I dont remember if any of the hover boards actually burnt down houses and cars?

If its true the Note 7 did with these repots will be much worse than hover boards.
