I guess it's karma for indirectly poking on the iPhone 7's missing headphone jack during the launch announcement

for those that say you will never buy a Samsung again, i believe this is just emotions talking.

Would you say you will never buy a car that has had global recalls again? Toyota, Honda, Takata Airbags etc..

Food for thought

i demand for special privilige to buy Note 8 next year

setup new phone really pain in ass.. i went thru twice dy...

maybe can start to try that Samsung Cloud thingy.. that's seems to be able to backup and setup the phone..

Someone called to SME:

"just now i call samsung. they said need to bring to service centre to check 1st whether affected or not. so is it all device affected or only certain batch?"

Typical Malaysian businessmen. Always look for any sort of possible ways to steal from people.

ya fk them. SG and other country said 1 to 1 exchange.
now they say check 1st only see how.
then we have to get our spare phone?
what if after days or weeks then they say " no problem, no exchange."
   

Later the check. No botloop . No overheat while charging. They return to owner. How can check batch . All use same battery. Maybe diffrent factory

Kind of expected. they should have explained everything in the announcement in the first place. But they didn't. Instead of telling you everything, they asked you to call them.

Well, this is the typical way of how Malaysia company is doing their business I guess...... Another case in our beloved bolehland...

i hope if we wait few weeks then exchange still OK cos i dont want to go without a phone even though i have extra phone at home but dont have any that support nanosim

Don't need to think so complicated I guess. Just give a call to samsung careline, get everything clear out, return and get a new replacement unit!

Should not check, should be 1to1 exchange. Just imagine how long is it going take for SC to check through so many, and chances some might be missed or end up with some other issue when the phone was not put back properly. What happen to water resistant after open up all units to check.  Too many probability if open and check. Just one to one exchange, they can slowly take their time to check returned units.

Yes. They just modified their post to 1 to 1 exchange. [attachmentid=7447143]

hahaha "if you cant sleep"   

i got mixed feelings now - can do second unboxing second time but my current n7 (touchwood!) is working fine. 

If i dont want to make replacement , can i request for half price refund? LOL!!! haha

I sent mine in on Aug 31 due to bootloop issues, followed up by a phone call the following day wherein I got a call the same day telling me that I could collect my replacement on 2 Sep (I sounded angry).  Meanwhile, with the news on the battery problems, I repeatedly called them to clarify if I should even come in for a replacement but the service center said there was no official announcement yet.  Come Saturday (3 Sep), I collected my replacement and asked the service center rep but she was no help and was unable to confirm whether my replacement was safe or not.  When I got home, I called the 1800 number and they took down my details, sans IMEI and the rep said the marketing team are in a meeting but would call me shortly.  They must be in one of the longest meetings because I still haven't received a call... meanwhile, like all of you here, I'm in a dilemma - should I spend time migrating / setting up / wasting another SP my new Note 7 or wait? A phone in hand is as good as none...
