So far i've encountered it twice but solved it by lock and unlock the phone again. Weird issue there.

I have this prob, sometimes work sometimes don't work. I tried to lasso on more complicated shape then shit happens after that. I cannot even use square or round anymore after that. Don't know how to recover it then suddenly can work again.

After the complicated lasso problem, i open smart select again and it couldn't do any shape. Just nothing appear and smart select area gone.

I've created google form so we can find out how's the current defect rate of our Note7. Everyone can view the result after the survey.

I have 16 responses so far

Some mistaken for mm/dd/yy
I believe is 4 aug/6aug/7aug

Well i have about 42 results so far with interesting results. This is just a small sample compared to the 4000 units from SME and unknown number from telcos/senheng/courts.



7 users with bootloop issues. About 16%


and 23 users seems ok


Full results

Sadly the sample cannot justify as like another forumer said it's only less than 1% of the sample and we also cannot be sure that 100% of the poll is real or not (unless i enable gmail login to keep track of users). Samsung SC tracking is more accurate, and only if we have inside people to know what's the defective rate like

What i can see that ppl who had problem with their phones only come to forum to ask for help and those working perfectly usually just come to visit read up about other problems. It is possible to have false sense of high defect rate as well.

After all, we tend to make more noise when having problems, and keep quiet when no issue right?

Apple also have its own problems. My iphone5 was the one with problems, bloated battery, pink screen, power button failure. These 3 issues are known worldwide and had to be recalled. Iphone4 with antennagate, home button failure, lcd horizontal/vertical lines.

No worry la, use ori cable + ori charger. Anything happens can still sue samsung for compensation.Maybe some used the non standard usb-c adapter which is explained here

A shop owner offered me usb-c cable for rm20 which i declined because i'm not sure if the cable is compliant to the usb spec or not. This guy Mr Benson Leung took the trouble to review a lot of usb-c cables and adapters which you can find it here.

I personally recommend the xiaomi usb-c adapter because it's dirt cheap and certified by Mr. Benson

Not so useful in real life. This test is just playing continuous video in airplane mode
Point of this test just to test the hardware capability. Still a lot of factor like wifi efficiency, LTE efficiency, which comes into play.

Tech21 evo frame also no lift, but i dislike the huge bumper like feeling although it provide protection.

To be honest even got highest rating of IP i also wont dunk in water. There's too many inconveniences such as muddled speaker, headphone jack filled with water, s-pen hole filled with water, charging jack unable to charge.

Throughout my whole life all my phone never touched water. Just treat this phone as additional protection in case your phone really drop in water. Usually almost immediately we retrieved it already If the phone drop in water. Exception is some rare cases where the phone in jeans got washed together in the washing machine for some period of time.

Sony previously advertised their phones are rated at IP68, but too many ppl taking it for granted and bring it to swim and end up many people dissapointed that the phone isn't truly waterproof at all (water damaged). Sony later changed the terms not advisable to be used underwater.

I guess you're lucky

The rubber seal can deteriorate over time if in touch with none other than fresh water. Samsung is using adhesives for the front and rear panel, which i think is considered a "quick fix" compared to rubber seal all around to provide better sealing. If the adhesive not put properly during production, the seal may introduce small opening for the water to enter.

The speaker area is also weak point for water to enter because it uses some kind of a mesh to prevent water from entering. Once the mesh cannot counter the water pressure, the water will enter through the speaker. That's why samsung put 2 water markers near the sim card slot and speaker because that's where the weakest points are.

Raticate evolved to clefairy?

Chill, news article already said that samsung is finding out which supplier is providing sub-par battery packs. In this case it is pointing to Korean ITM Semiconductor. Not all note7 are affected because samsung uses multiple supplier for its batteries. Battery exploding is a serious case, involving life/death. It is unlike bootloop issue. Just wait for the recall if Malaysian batch is affected.

You always crack me up with your posts. You should evolve to Mr.Mime
