I'm just hoping that this would lead to big improvements in the future. Not just for Samsung, but everyone else.
The whole Note 7 thing is turning out to be an outright mess.

Who's fault would it really be? Samsung's or shoddy factories with poor quality control and inspections?
Samsung can't manage the factories they outsource to directly.

And some people are overreacting here. Approximately one phone, (the other report from China being debunked) out of a million new Note 7s has issues....IF the report is true.

Both, because ultimately, it has Samsung's name on it, and they are also responsible for final QC testing on the finished product.
Just about every phone company these days is at the mercy of poorly run factories. This may be a taboo subject for some, but it's true.
Apparently was part of their vertical operations and not a typical contract out. Part of the investigation pointed out QC issues and working teams too hard to meet deadlines for production to beat the iPhone release. Then after that, they (if this issue and others in China pan out) failed to make sure batteries in post recall batches were secure. Recall 101 failure.
Don't hurt me...but more free gifts if we get our second loaners by October 9th
...but surely not giving up my flawless phone this time...they would have to deactivate the imei for me to release it and remove all service

Insufficient QC during a recall on a replacement batch is just plain wrong.
Thats not how you do it.
They are probably gonna have to make the phones our of something strong enough that when people put their phones in their back pocket and crack the mother board that it don't short out.
Ive had repair people to talk enough this a lot. It also causes battery life to decrease.

My wife was due for an upgrade and I almost bought this phone for $500cdn on a 2 year contract in Sept. Was thinking it would be a few months before prices really dropped, and was going to move in then....Yesterday the price list for her plan shows the Note 7 marked down to $0 already on the same plan. Prices are already dropping. Was going to jump on one, but looks like I still have to hold off due to this news. I travel a lot and I have to have a phone that I can use on a plane for music and movies to keep me occupied.

This.
I didn't re-buy the Note 7 after the recall because I was waiting to see what the Pixels offered. Well I found out that the Pixels aren't for me, but now I'm worried about the future of the Note 7 especially on planes. I do fly quite a bit, and I do want to use my phone while on planes. If the Note 7 garners a reputation for catching fire, I may have to look elsewhere if the FAA takes action (again).
That's nice to hear ...if a recall was placed again I would prefer one by carrier especially if they realize it was the AT&T devices with the defect......

Theres literally no Android phones other than the Note 7 for me. My choice now is the iPhone 7 Plus.
Guess I won be trying to buy one after work tomorrow after all. This phone won't be allowed on flights for q very long time now. What a cluster, and I seriously loved that phone.
So if you are past the 14 days on your 2nd phone...what are you options? I am sure they won't take it back...so only recourse is to sell on Ebay, which I am sure is not a great option since we will take a loss for sure.

how do I protect myself or others, in the event that my replacement Note 7 catches fire or explodes? I know the chances are extremely law, but it's always good to know how to handle these things, right? My questions are serious, so please don't respond with meaningless jokes. Thanks. 
(1)
if no fire extinguisher is nearby, is it a good idea to pour plain water over it to put out the fire? if not, what should I use? or just let it burn itself out?
(2)
should I make an official police or fire report to document the incident?
(3)
do I report it to Samsung?
(4)
am I potentially liable for any damages to the aircraft, hotel room or whatever?
