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

I watched the video and didn't see a 5 gallom gas can anywhere in the front seat.

Those plastic gas cans are the first thing to melt in a fire. :p I didn't see the Note 7 in there either.
 
ANY phone with a lithium-ion battery can explode/catch fire. We do not kow what kind of shape this phone was in before it ignited. We do not know how well this person cared for their phone. I mean, just reading comments about returning the Note 7, I can't tell you how many people have stated that they have already broken their screens, or caused other damage. The S7/S7E have been on the market for long enough. If there really was an issue, we would have known long ago. Someone is looking to cash in here. They're also trying to get other people involved so they can start a class action lawsuit...enough said.
 
I did notice the last few days before I finally shut the thing off was how crappy the battery life had gotten. I was way impressed with it when I first got it but after a 1.5 weeks it seemed to be draining a lot faster. Moved backed to my Note 5 and am enjoying pretty good battery life again. (The Note 5 didn't have as big of a battery as it should have.)

Re: Note 7 burns 6 year old boy in New York

Firefighter here. I hope this is a joke. Show me an ignition source and I will show you smoke and heat banking down the ceiling of a room and contents in under 3 minutes. No accellerant needed. Then initiate 911 and add 90 seconds to the incident before our station is alerted. Add 3 minutes response time (if youre lucky) and you have extension into the walls and or attic. Yes. Your house can burn down without gasoline.

Then have that happen in an airplane at 20,000 feet, or in your car while you're driving at speed in heavy traffic.

Last I heard, the Airlines are considering banning all Samsung phones on their flights, as they are unable to easily differentiate the N7.
 
The microsd card is worth more than the vr. Out of the 3 vr< watch < micro sd card. At least in terms of price.
 
i have yet to see or hear of anyone i know personally or their children express ANY interest at all in VR. id either give it away, sell it, or throw it away.

Is it possible to use a reference picture?

From afar, the N7 looks similar to a lot of other Samsungs, but go closer and there are some differences.

I understand your gas can comment now after your reply here. The fire department should be able to tell what was the source of the fire. They can tell when a single match was used or whether an accelerant was used such as gas. Hopefully what cause this will actually be released to the public.
