Power Down and Don't Charge Note 7 per The Consumer Product Safety Commission

Re: Samsung Updated the Exchange Page!!

I doubt Samsung has already manufactured, tested and shipped millions of devices within a week of finding the issue. The original phones have only been out for about 3 weeks..

Once Samsung realized which of the 2 companies had the bad batteries. They had the one which had the good batteries continue making Note 7's. So they never stopped. That is why China go the Note 7's without issues.

Re: email from Samsung to power down and return

They want these phones off the streets. Once the FAA took notice this was elivated to a new level.

Re: CPSC interfering with Note7 users desiring replacement Note7s from getting devices

No one is looking out for anyone. Everyone is just covering their own behinds, and tbis recall is the biggest goatscrew I've ever seen. Everyone involved ought to be ashamed at the way this has been handled.

It's called get a full refund and go buy a different phone or suck it up or play Russian roulette with what you have.

Russian Roulette it is....

Sorry I guess I was taking that as there was something else. Lol

For me it is New Note 7 or back to the Note 4 and get my upgrade back. No other choice for me.

You really think this years Note 7 is trashed? I mean reputation and sales wise.

Lol, I don't know where you're getting your information, but I'd stop getting it there.

Most of the phones in the US were made in China. If those were without issues/risk, they wouldn't be recalling every single Note 7 that is being used right now (including the ones from China). There is no way these government agencies would let them just continue using the same batteries that they're telling everyone to stop using.. That makes no sense whatsoever.

Inconvenienced by people looking out for you. Now that's a good one. It's just a phone. Next year there will be a better one. Be safe...

This thing makes phone calls? That's like the 15th thing on the list that I use this phone for. It's more than just a phone to many people.

I believe it'll go on sale again but the damage is already done.

Re: CPSC interfering with Note7 users desiring replacement Note7s from getting devices

Well by covering their own buts they are making sure they get these bad phones out of consumers hands. I'm sure everyone wants a safe produc and that will take time. IMOP the N7 is DOA at least until November. No way they will allow them to be sold again without 100% assurance this won't happen again.

So we might be better to just suck it up, and wait for next fall and hopefully they go all out on it?

If you like the phone, replace it when they become available. Their reputation shouldn't determine whether or not you will continue using the phone.

Re: U.S. and Samsung tell Galaxy Note 7 owners: Power down now

They did mention Samsung is trying to rush out replacement for our phones though!

It no longer matters how fast replacement phones are shipped out as no one will give them to us unless the CPSC clears it. Since Samsung never made an official recall its annoying that the CPSC feels they can step in and force their opinions (that there should be a delay/freeze of replacements) on Samsung, carriers, and consumers.

My biggest issue was the lag. I'm on a loaner S7E and the thing is 10x faster than my Note 7 was. I like the Note 7 better in general, but I really hope they can fix it with software updates. The screen on this S7E is also totally uniform in color. My Note 7 had a pink tint on the right side. I'm really hoping this next batch actually lives up to its price tag.

This is why i'm not sure if i should get the crap loaner phone or just get the S7 edge. I don't want the note 5 because of no micro sd and i really want the note 7 but i'm starting to wonder how long it will take.


The rep said this week, but i doubt he know approval time.
