And i thought my unit was 'lucky'.. luck ran out on me.

Anyone experiencing extreme battery drop to 0%?

Already happened to me 3 times.. and its freaking annoying when u try to wake up your phone and its DEAD!

First case: somewhere around 60% direct to 0%


Just happened: around 70% to 0%


Ive been using the wireless charge dock since the 18th.. and all was well.. until.. the software update.. my battery life was not as par compared to when i first used out of box.. and now this?

Starting today im gonna try using normal charger + wired charging.. no more fast charging or wireless.. just to monitor how it goes..

Anyone experiencing this? Is this a bad battery issue or software? How to explain thos to SC where its happening sometime during the day.. how to prove to them its faulty? Any chance to get 1on 1 exchg?

Just left it on the table. No major activity on my phone. It just died and loses charge..

haih.. phone getting worse and worse.. battery drain 4% every 30mins without ever toucing the phone and turning on data/wifi ..this is crazy.

Not to mention the full to zero battery drops thse past days..

officially giving up and need to go to SC this week.. such disappointment..

Exactly. No point making it a 'main' phone now.. for me, day 12 was the 'lucky' day.

Feel sorry for u bro.. had another drop myself today.. 25 -> 0% so uts the 4th time for me..

Sent your's to SC yet?

Waah.. 6 people here already batt problem.. but only 2 of us voiced out..

Really hope we can organize something with this list.. Samsung Malaysia is really keeping mum abt this issue.. still busy promoting Note 7 on FB.. while early adopter customers suffer. Any chance bring to tribunal and blanket instruction to Samsung Mobile to replace all PO units with new batch? Its just getting plain stupid and anoying.

For the guys/gals who are still 'lucky' be careful and make your backups promptly.. u never know when the sh1t gonna hit the fan.. better be safe than sorry

Yes bro. Even when no activity on phone, i.e. left idle on the table.. it will drop to a total 0. Need to standby charger / powerbank everywhere as it will happen randomly..

Already posted them a few posts back. Here i share to u again.

To me its a major design flaw.. all sorts of problems coming up.. new issues each time..

#glassgate
#gorillagate
#bootgate
#explosiongate
#batterygate

They can delay the new batches all they want.. but they must have a better solution for the ones affected now.. its just been 2 weeks since PO batch.. they cant just leave it to warranty.. Tha hardware is failing piece by piece.. madness.

Anyone can make this viral? post on Samsung Malaysia FB Page to get their attention? bring forth to tech blogs such as Lowyat.net, Soyacincau, theSkop, Amanz?

like u said.. this is just a small sample of LYN users.. just imagine the disaster outside..

Does downgrading to previous firmware void the warranty?

Am planning to do some experiment just to check whether my batt drop issue is fw related or plain hardware b4 sending to SC.. cant seem to let go of this lovely phone. Its a mess.. but a beautiful mess..

Btw, which was the original shipped fw ya? Anyone can confirm? Found 4 types of global fw as shown below;



Thanks!

Hehe.. now having doubts of future samsung flagships..

Dont underplay the note 7.. the current note 7 is also 'flexible'.. it can become an IED and/or a rm3k paper weight with wonderful super amoled display during boot loops. How much flexibility we want more from a phone now?

What bragging rights? Brag to people we own a faulty phone and a sleek fire hazard?

Haha.. sorry to be a buzzkill.. just that my disappointment with my n7 is too damn high

Total BS statement. Shows they know nothing of the severity of the case.. "assured our batch is not affected by the battery issue and will not be included in the recall". Really? Joke of the year i must say.. Samsung Mobile Malaysia is really taking this easy..

No point text them on FB.. Most big company FB pages are managed by marketing/PR companies only.. no company rep pon. They follow what they are 'contracted' to say and share. Hence the 'automated' replies to each question.

We should go picket in front of SME distribution/management office at Menara ICON Jalan Tun Razak there.. They are the ones who are calling the shots for mobile biz in Malaysia (not to mention that they have a lot of sexy OL working there ).

There was one or two guys here that wanted to organized last time.. Raticate and Jerico sumthing..

pikachu a bit rare.. im vouching for zubat or a pidgey.. more in line with raticate and clefairy..

according to android authority.. :

"The Note 7 will be recalled worldwide. Sales have been suspended, and Samsung is working on preparing replacement units for the affected devices. The process of preparing replacements will take about two weeks, according to the company."

===

So is it battery swaps or 1 to 1 replacements?

Exactly.

They can cover up the #bootloopgate with 'battery recall' hiding further problems to the Note 7 itself.. sneaky

Anyone called the hotline? Or already all CS off work alredy?

They need the phones for the Refurbishment Plans announced a few days ago.. as the concerns are on the battery pack only.. they just need to replace and sell as refurb sets. Can cover a bit their loss IMO.
