Verizon Note 7 Recall Thread

[garak0410]

I imagine it will be next week before we get official shipment notice on the Note 7's, perhaps even 2 weeks. They want to ensure this problem has been resolved and these have to come from overseas. I would think we would have had an official notice by now.

In the meantime, those who choose to continue to use their Note 7's, please be cautious. Otherwise, tough it out on your former or loaner phone. Believe me, as much as I loved the Note 5, it was hard to go back to it while I wait this out. I know everyone is anxious to get this recall behind us...

Well. Austria Samsung said. They will have restocked the new note7 by the 21st.

Our number one priority is the safety of our customers, which is why we’ve worked hard to provide new replacement Note7 devices as quickly as possible. We appreciate our customers’ continued support as we start to deliver this new stock to operators and retailers around the country from September 21,”

Richard Fink, Vice President IT & Mobile, Samsung Electronics Australia.

Also the packaging will have a slight upgrade to tell recall from new ones. Some square icon by the bar code etc.

Speaking of the iPhone 6s plus. My cousins 6 month old phone died on her this morning. Will not come on. Took it to the apple store. They say they will not replace it because the frame is bent. Those phones should have been recalled lol. But nah not apples phones


I've been checking this thread. But still not having any problem with mine. I wireless charge. I wake up in the morning and the phone isn't even remotely warm.

If I tell you the countless ones I've heard to die from the screen of death(won't turn on anymore) or become the touch unresponsive. With Apple actually putting useful features an adequate hardware their using that most reliable battle every day. Go figure .

Anyone have a new Note 7 yet?

Nope, and with the iPhone 7 launch, Good Luck.
All Verizon is interested in is selling iPhones.

I just spoke with Verizon and from what they said, I'm about to just get cozy with my Note 5 again for a good while. Absolutely no ETA despite rumors and the like. If we can go by that official Samsung Australia comment, I would assume the US would get it at or before September 21st. But I am preparing for it to be longer.

Verizon reps never know anything. Until it is listed on the computer for recall or for sale they know nothing.

I hope they will be there before Sept 24th I forgot I will be in a cruise and out of the country till Oct 8th

That being said my local company store just told me 'No way can I exchange my phone today for a LOANER phone, If I exchanged today I am married to that phone , I could exchange it with in 14 days and pay the fee etc." So for me no exchange of my N7 to an S7 back to the New N7 when they arrive.

In other news, a Carnival Cruise liner burned at sea. Investigators think a Note 7 is to blame...

I am a Royal Caribbean agent but speaking of Carnival they did have a woman go over board yesterday ( true story ) maybe she couldn't handle all the different stories

I am going to keep my Note until the new units are out.

I have R/C cars and I know what happens when your batteries get too hot or over charge they catch fire everywhere I used to race we had to have a battery sack while charging incase the battery catches fire and since I have see it before I just turned off my fast charger and charge my phone over night without any issues.

Is Verizon refunding for accessories? I have a worthless screensaver now, crack when removed.

Verizon told me last night accessories fall under the normal 14 day return policy.. So for me if I don't keep the note 7 I will lose $140 in accessories cost.

 

[MizWylie]

And what phone are you going to stick with in the long run?

Going to an LG G4 my buddy is loaning me until the Note 7 is back. I'm starting to get more nervous the more claims in the US and possible air travel issues over a stupid phone

Riley : Pleased to meet you..

You : thanks

Riley : Upon checking here, you would need to send back your Note 7 to the nearest Verizon store. They would be able to check your device if your Note 7 is part of the batch that has issue on teh battery. Once they have figured out that your phone is part of the note 7 that has an issue, you can definitely replace your phone to any device that you want to get

You : I want to exchange Note 7 for new Note 7, not a different phone. My question is has Verizon received shipments of the NEW Note 7s

Riley : Yes. You can also replace your device to a New Note 7 right away.

You : so you can ship me 2 Note 7 phones now

Riley : Have you already sent back your 2 Note 7?

You : Can't send it back until I transfer data to new phone. also need phone to use

Riley : My apologies for the long wait.

Riley : YOu would need to go back to the store so that they can help you backing up your device and replace your device to a new Note 7.

Riley : your files*

You : You have not answered my question. Does Verizon and/or it's stores actually have new Note 7 phones now.

Riley : As of now, Samsung hasn't released any details for the new batch of Note 7 being released in the market.

You : OK, that's not what I was hoping to hear, but my question was finally answered. Took a very long time to get the answer. Perhaps that is why I had to wait a while for this chat.

You : I will check back perhaps tomorrow

You : no that is it

Riley : That is correct! I understand how important it is to have a working phone at all times.

Riley : I also rely in my phone and I was also excited in getting the new Note 7 until I've heard yesterday that Apple release their newest iPhone 7.

We all have seen how Verizon can't answer simple questions or give the same answer twice.

Now they seem to be having Data issues with over charging customers

Most double data uses come in the middle of the night while customers are asleep. Any of you notice problems ?

So I just got off the phone with VZW customer support asking about when to expect a replacement for my Note 7. The first CSR said in order for me to be considered for a replacement I'd have to do a "temporary" swap until the "New" Note 7's are available. I questioned this and she connected me with her supervisor who told me that no "loaner" phones were going to be issued and my options were as follows:

(a) Up until the 30th return the device and exchange it for another device and when the "New" Note 7's are available return the device I swapped my current Note 7 out with for the new one.

(b) Opt in to the voluntary recall by returning my Note 7 and return to my old device (which I no longer have)

(c) Do nothing and whatever happens is on me.

This was similar to the response I got when we went to our local verizon store. Although the sales rep said they believe they should be In stock within the next two weeks , or before Sept 30th, I asked him what if they hadn't arrived before then. He told us that if we wait until after September 30th (because no new Note7s in stock yet), we will only be eligible for a warranty replacement phone. There is no refund option. Basically, exchange it for another device in stock before September 30th is your only option or don't. That's what I got from the conversation at our local VZW store.

However, we decided to call Verizon customer service because this had conflicted what I had read. The customer service rep told us that what we were told was wrong. She said that we could return it and get a S7, then when the new Note 7s arrive, we would then return the S7 (in good condition), and get our new Note7. The customer service rep even checked with her supervisor who confirmed this. Apparently, this option was recently added. The rep said she'd call our local store to ensure everyone is on the same page. So, we will find out later today if this all happens. The customer service rep said she'd call us after she calls the store to let us know.

Just visited a Verizon Corporate Store in Dublin, Ohio, and they have not received any new Note 7s and they do not have any information regarding when they will get them in. Yesterday I stopped in a Best Buy and asked the Samsung representative there and she said the end of this week, and then a Best Buy representative said they are not scheduled for any shipments to be delivered. He said next week. I admit, I am having a difficult time being patient.

WOW what is this going to end up costing Samsung
Has anyone tried this yet ? Did you have to return everything or just the Note 7

 

[felloffthetruck]

They are all saying next Friday iPhone 7 and Note 7 replacements on the same day.

I think I will go for the S7 then take advantage of the free return of that for the Note 7 after the Apple madness is over
