link to article??? this doesn't seem realistic but that is just an opinion on my part....

'Safe' Galaxy Note 7s may use a different battery icon http://www.androidcentral.com/safe-galaxy-note-7s-may-use-different-battery-icon

Today I was watching the today news show I don't really care for that program, but they showed this dude's car on fire and he said his Galaxy S7 caught on fire they also specified it was not a note 7 it was an s7.

They also said the fire department had not yet reached the conclusion of what started the fire, and there is also now a teacher who claims her s7 blew up while she was at a cafe, hopefully this doesn't cause more delays.

Imagine if they recalled all Samsung phones. Not only would it destroy them, BUT the country and other countries at a whole would have major functioning issues since samsung phones are so widely used by the population, government agencies, etc. That would basically leave us with Iphones and Apple would be a total monopoly.

I wish these people would stop trying to get their 15 minutes of fame. The media twist stuff all the time. A few weeks ago the local news was going door to door trying to get people to interview for a news story on the nearby police gun range. Being pro gun we declined to do one. They will edit and twist your words to fit their sensationalized news.

Some of the cases to me seem kinda suspect also, I'm not saying all of them but some of just seem like people trying to cash in.

Re: The replacements are among us!!!

Best Buy in my area already had the replacements since last week. They just aren't allowed to release it.

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

Actually its like comparing hoverboards and phones. A phone recall is a much more dangerous and widespread issue than a toy.

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.

Actually that is not totally accurate. CPSC does not do testing, BUT, they source it out to a "third party lab"

So they will have another lab BESIDES Samsung do some testing.

This info is on the CPSC website.

I think that until Samsung and CPSC openly report that an extremely high percentage of recalled Note 7s have been removed from the wild, the advisories and warnings not to charge or use Note 7s on public transportation will stand.

Making the replacements widely available is not the issue. Its restoring the confidence of the regulatory agencies and public that the danger of exploding batteries almost non-existent.

Of course they wont get 100% of the units back because someone will want to hold on to a "piece of history."

But since there were like 2,000,000+ devices released, let's say 100 of them might not make their way back which is like .00005.

So if Samsung re-releases 2,000,000+ safe Note 7s, the percentage of faulty devices in the wild will continue to shrink.

Samsung should say something like, "It is with great confidence, we can say that .00005 of devices may pose an issue."

I think everything is gonna be ok.

the replacement should be known as note8.

I highly doubt airlines will be checking everyone's phone one by one.

yep, try following this trick http://forums.androidcentral.com/general-news-discussion/723740-iphone-users-lol.html

I think a lot of the "bans" and the enforcement will fade with time, and with fresh product.

Just have to hope one doesn't 'blow up a plane' (translation from click bait: catch fire on a plane). If that happens the negative stigma would probably persist for a while.

90% of the world doesn't know what the Note 7 is. And fewer will know as the days go on past the resolution. I follow this stuff pretty closely, and I couldn't tell you what day the newest iPhone comes out (today?) or what the model designation was on the last one...6..6s...6s pro? I don't do it for a living, and I have other things in my life that take up space in my significantly limited brain... (fantasy football, etc). The vast majority of people are even more casual about it than I am... my sister in law has a s7 edge, and when I asked her about it, she didn't know if it was a 6 edge or 7.."an edge something". I would imagine that is closer to typical.

Shhh! Logic does not help the hysteria bandwagon. The media will give you "7" demerits

The idea here was never to create hysteria, but to just voice a wondering. One that I still wonder. The battery icon is an idea, but is it one that can't just be copied... eletronically disabling them, if possible, might actually be the only choice here if people won't listen and do what the company is asking.

Regardless, it's a rough spot for sure and I just want my dang phone back! I have the S7 Edge and it just ain't the same...

after a person xiaomi phone also 'blew up', i think this battery case could get more serious attention,
i mean you aren't allowed to bring matches to plane...

First statement, I know nothing more than anyone else. This is pure speculation.

Standard recall process, product gets recalled, product is fixed, product is rolled back out, right? That makes sense... But there's a logical flaw here. The Galaxy Note 7 is getting BANNED from places like certain airlines or air travel in countries. This is a fact. When you get your new Note 7, it will have a S sticker on the box telling you it is fixed... So... How does Jim from Delta Airlines who is checking you in know that YOUR Note 7 is indeed a fixed one and not just one you held over?

This just actually popped in my head. I WANT a Note 7 back and was a preorder-er of the phone and took it back the first Monday after recall and am unhappy as the rest of us... but... Is it possible with what's happening around the world?

What do you guys think?

Yes it is
