Supposedly it's a Note 5 in the picture not a Note 7

It's a Note 7

The less-aggressive curvature on the back and the IMEI confirmed it.

To be honest there is nothing saying that the usb port on the laptop didn't go over voltage. The fact is any device with a lithium battery can do this. There is the off chance it had a bad connection or bad cable or bad anything. There is also the chance it's a recall N7. I'm not giving up my new N7!! I have had now issues with it. I have 3 usb-c cables from Verizon and the phone fast charges without getting hot or even warm. But I said it b4 I used an old micro sub from my N4 and my first N7 got so hot it burned my fingers. So it's possible the pinouts on some cables are wrong causing this. It could also be as simple as a fraction of a hair alignment on the parts inside the phone causing something to touch that shouldn't.

I am trying to stay as positive as i can be but I hope there is not a recall part 2!!!! That would suck big time and will be a huge blow to Samsung for sure and also government that approved this replacement. Not for nothing I am sick and tired of having to keep setting up the phone over and over again.

Hope they have updates on this story or time will tell if any more stories on the replacements... it's only been a week the replacements out and it took 3-4 weeks after the initial launch before hearing issues and recall.

I'm all for hearing these stories come out and bringing them to light... I'm wanting to buy one... wanted to at press release and almost bought that day right before hearing of the recall announcement... but I want this phone sorted out ASAP before pulling the trigger cause I just don't want to have to deal with issues like this and deal with dealers/exchange hassle.

You don't hear any issues with the S7 and Edge and been out most of the year so wth is with the note 7 :/

Any longer and the S8 will be out and even though the main feature I want is the pen but the rumor on the S8... 5.2" screen and 4000mah battery... man another few months and I may want that... the think I don't like on both the iphone 7 and S7 is the small screen but 5.2" is the sweet spot for me. I can't wait until next September for S8 Note.

It's sad..... Too much drama with this phone. I wouldn't be able to sleep well at night with a Note 7 plugged in on my nightstand. Maybe if I used one of those charging bags that I have for the batteries that I use for my remote control helicopter. Helps snuff out the flames.

Link to proof that new phones are unsafe?

 

[ThrottleJohnny]

Exactly. It pains me when people blame the user for the manufacturers mistakes. Must be the cables; must be the charger. BS. Unless that charger was putting out a lot more than 5 volts, the phone shouldn't get damaged. Even if the voltage is too high, some fuse should blow up; the battery shouldn't explode.

Yeah. Might want to wait until an investigation is done to start throwing out wild theories either way.

Oh and of course i would bet Apple would pay someone a few grand to say that.

It's not out of the realm of possibilities that a lone Note 7, even post-recall, had a manufacturing defect. As others have pointed out it happens to every device manufacturer out there. The recall occurred because with v1.0, there were sudden and numerous reports of batteries overheating and rupturing. Until Samsung is seeing a bunch of reports of new Note 7's burning I don't think it's an issue.

I will throw out there that if there is a recall part II, I'm done with the Note 7.

A couple of days ago Jim Cramer on CNBC (I don't know really why I still follow him but... ) tweeted and I don't know where he based it on,

"it was NOT the batteries, that's the whole point. It was the wiring.."

Samsung contradicts his statement from earlier articles by telling the press it was them ... So not sure where he is pulling that from.

Unless fjngers no longer function it won't result in enough of a payday to intentionally destroy a computer & burn yourself.

With jacked fingers he can no longer use Samsung's fingerprint scanner, so there's that... lol

Wait- iris scanner still works well though- Foiled again, Batman.

Imagine he was using his brand new Gear VR when it happened.

"Wow! Look at the smoke and fire!! It's so real it's like I can almost FEEL the heat from the flames!"

Oops.

I love my replacement N7 btw. My battery life has been insane. This is truly sad- this is an amazing phone... when you get one that works properly.

 

[recDNA]

The scary thing is it works well... Until it doesn't. And how canna washing machine explode?

 

[donm527]

Wow what's with Samsung now a days??

Oh boy, if there's a Note7 battery recall v2.0, it's going to be another mess, probably a bigger one, considering that Tim Baxter himself publicly stated that the new ones are safe, putting his rep and that of Samsung, on the line.

I really hope that doesn't happen, though, but I've planned ahead anyway.
