QUOTE(un_id @ Aug 27 2016, 08:18 PM) This product is far from fail! Despite of some issues here and there it is still the most awaited phone of the year.. yes there might be lack at the QC department, but the product itself undoubtedly still the top in its line.. forget lenghty details, the s-pen is one and only found at any phone in the market, not to mention the aesthetic design which is distinctive from others Check his posting, he quickly tries to buy any Note 7 phone at lowest price. A troll and a cheapskate.

I'm beginning to think Samsung released Note 7 way too early in order to beat Apple iPhone 7 launch day.
All this news about software bugs, faulty units can really influence one's choice of phone to purchase.

QUOTE(yuhhaur @ Aug 30 2016, 04:33 PM) Damn we really need a balak jati now, the more I read this forum the more depress i become. Same here, I'm like 50/50 between Samsung and Asus. All this recent news about boot loops, faulty mobo. Software bugs I can forgive, but hardware is another thing. RM3.2k you really want your product to be super flawless out of the box.

Well shit..... QUOTE The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 was recently launched and got all but a standing ovation from the world. A beautiful design, curved display, powerful hardware, 64 GB of expandable internal storage, and a top-notch camera make Sammy's newest phablet a highly desirable handset. What could go wrong?
Apparently, buying one of the dream phones could be a risky investment. Just days after its launch, some users have taken to forums, complaining about crashes, bootloops, and outright bricks of the device. Even we can relate, as our office unit has started acting up since last Friday.
The issue pops up after a few days of regular usage and there seems to be no rhyme or reason behind the patterns of crashes. It will usually start with a bootloop. Then, as the user attempts to force the phone into safe mode or recovery, it only gets worse. Random crashes at any point of operation freeze the device up and make it night impossible to do anything with it. We even had the phone crash while in Recovery, and it is currently stuck on a bootloop right on our desk as we are writing this story. Factory resets, wiping the cache, or anything else that is user-accessible doesn't seem to help, too, so it might be a hardware issue. Users have reported that even certified Samsung shops have been unable to deal with the issue and have replaced the phone with a new one instead.
From what we can make of the reports, it seems only owners of the internationally-sold Exynos variant of the phone are affected. Either it's an Exynos-only issue, or US users with a crashing Note 7 have yet to become vocal online. Samsung has yet to confirm that it's aware of and working on the problem. Until an official statement has been made and the problem has been fixed, we'd suggest you hold firm to that $850 you've been saving. http://www.phonearena.com/news/Some-Samsun...ickgate_id84611

Snapdragon variant no complaint (so far), but the Exynos ones (for Asia). Makes you wonder if its all comes down to quality assurance for Asian units or the CPU chip itself.

Do Samsung ever fix their phones in their next batch when they find flaws in their first batch?

Samsung had to delay shipping for quality test, so it is telling that the unit have issues.
This reflects badly on them, especially when iPhone 7 is going to be announce in 7 days.

QUOTE(ebackbone @ Sep 1 2016, 01:04 PM) yes this is real. this is the reason why people are dissatisfied that battery is non removable. with the old designs of removeable battery, you have the chance whereby disconnecting battery to let the power run dry, reconnecting it again at least allows you to boot back into download mode or recovery mode easily manually. The non removable battery is not the issue here. Nobody complained about this with Note 5.

QUOTE(Max2006 @ Sep 2 2016, 12:40 AM) Looking at Note 5 Thread, it's been one year now, and it's still in V6 only. The feeling of loneliness is there. But considered OK since there's not much of complaints over there. Looking at Note 7 Thread, it's not yet launched in Malaysia, but it's already in V5 in only 1 freaking month! People thought it would be a good thing because it's a sign to show that Note 7 is popular. But who on earth would have know that more than 50% of those posts are actually about those various problematic gates? I am speechless.......  Before battery-gate, people love the Note 7 because return of SD card, beautiful design, fantastic camera. Then hit with strings of bad news, like high price, glass easily scratch, boot loops, and now exploding batteries. Thing is looking bad for Samsung at the moment, and some may avoid Note 7 altogether. On top of that, iPhone 7 news coming in days.

At this rate better wait for Note 8.
Likely to have dual camera, and number 8 is hopefully lucky one for Samsung not to produce a defective device.
