If this ends up being a replacement Note 7, i'm done. Just going to take mine back. I don't want to deal with all this crap again.
This does seem like pretty legit, the entire plane was evacuated and canceled flight. Now what caused this is what needs to be looked at. He shower his pic of a AT&T box with black square on it too so it is a replacement. Weird part is i used my replacement note 7 all 6 hours i was on plane yesterday.
Ecig, etc. Exploding are all irrelevant the real question is are our new note 7 phones still a bomb threat ?
I'm on the fence.. I'm on my second replacement now and it's simply awesome... Battery lasts *beyond* my expectations.
Hopefully this is an isolated incident. If not.. not sure what I will do...
Watching ABC news tonight with David Muir and when they started taking about this story they showed the "burning jeep" as if it was the same deal.

I would assume that AT&T can verify if that phone's IMEI was in fact at that airport, at that time. I'd want proof that this phone is actually the replacement. Not pics of a box that could belong to another family member (ditto the screenshot of the IMEI search).
Agreed. I also travel for work and they may just ban the phone completely from being on the plane. I will have to demand to return mine as well because of it.
Doesn't have V2 on the box....I always said if it's not V2 .....there is a chance that it's still explosive....those none V2 labeled devices were probably the ones Samsung thought were safe and they did not retest...the majority of the actual V2 labeled devices especially the T-Mobile version were made in China and had no issues so far....
Also, that device looks exactly like every other defected Samsung note 7device that exploded and the explosion is in the same typical area.......either it was a inventory quality control mistake stating it was safe or just a coincidental mishap.....

This is my first Android phone in many years, I've been an iPhone user for a long time. I love the Note 7 but this is not making me want to stay with an Android device as none of the other Android devices look even close to appealing to me. I will wait this out for a little while but not for long if there are any more issues.

Battery life for me has been crazy good. 6 hours of screen time with everything on including facebook. Whats even more crazy is my SOT with it on 1080p.. Over 8 hours, I can post the proof if needed. Again, thats with facebook, instagram, 2 gmails, GPS on, bluetooth on.
But this is just getting to be to much. Whats worst is that I returned my iPhone 7 Plus yesterday.
This is a concern. I am on my second exchange after the recall. Never been happy with the battery life. If the recalled Note 7 will be having battery issues, i just do not think I will be keeping the Note 7 anytime longer.

I should have been more clear. I mean to say with this incident, would it be a good idea to just stick with the Edge until the S8 Edge/Plus whatever it's named comes out? is it too risky buying a Note 7 now?
Idk... seems we all bough SAMSUNG note 7's cuz we had higher standards... I would expect these devices to perform better, and just be better in general, than all others...
I feel the same way. Its just odd he was able to get an iPhone just moments later when his phone is still in custody. Just seems a bit off.
But I'm waiting for the investigation. It's just a bit disheartening since I love my Note 7. I don't see any device better than it. It just feels great in my hands and works great. Hopefully its an isolated incident or Samsung may have to do yet another recall on their recall and then probably just give everyone S8's for the hassle.
On the same boat as you. I switched over to the Note 7 because I liked the specs and tech it had to offer, more superior than the iphone. However, I have not been satisfied with the battery life (only getting about 10 hours of battery life) and this is my second unit after I exchanged my first one with same problem. Now hearing that even the recalled versions are burning upp.. makes me seriously think about perhaps trying the S7 edge, or just sticking with my iphone 6s plus.
I really wanted to like and give Samsung a try, but this is not helping them.
Here's the NBC News short interview with the N7 owner:
NBC News report
From my perspective, doesn't seem like the guy is trying to make a quick buck or two, and he didn't seem overly dramatic. The device was obviously a N7 from photos.
