Really so hard to get a good SP, apply SP also die, don't apply also scared die haha

Singapore news, 2 of my friends in Singapore faced this issue too, looks like Samsung really digging its grave if it doesn't solve this issue.

Mine was initially ok then started to came off later on

My sim 2 so far so good, signal is good. No problem making/receiving calls, sms, using data etc

This is really worrying, considering it can just appear out of nowhere despite using it for some time. No one is safe now, honestly I rather it affects my phone too, so that I can get it changed or repaired rather than after I have more stuffs in the phone then only problem occurs. I don't feel safe leaving my phone with important data with them

Honestly, after reading every single post, I can't agree with some that defects are accepted and expected for first batch aka guinea pig units. It's really hard earned 3k to pay for the top of the range smart phone, in one of the biggest tech company like Samsung, to have so many major issues.

Secondly, I really feel that no one should accept change of motherboard. We shall demand nothing less than a 1-to-1 exchange. The problems are not caused by wear and tear or happens through time. The unit itself is defective when we first bought. This is substantiated by many reports here and international news. It's a known problem. So if at the first place Samsung sold us a defective unit, they're obliged to replace a new one. Many might not agree, but if I'm the unlucky one (which still can happen anytime to me), I'll make sure they change a new one to me, else I'll definitely bring them to consumer tribunal court. I might not win the case but I'll try. They're making billions but can't even do some justice to the loyal early adopter customers.

Hence, I think someone sent a google form, I think apart of finding out how many users affected, it serves as a good evidence to proof that many are experiencing the problems and it's a genuine defect, which Samsung has to acknowledge.

Maybe there are common rules to it, but just my opinion, I'll still go after them for 1-to-1 exchange because I don't accept a repair for a defective unit.
I've won before in consumer tribunal court for a Delonghi Dehumidifier against Best Denki, which is a defective unit and they refused to change 1-to-1. I noticed the defect after using 1 month

Is it worth the risk? I really need 3 sim cards but no courage to do it lol

I agree we shouldn't keep quiet, minimum ask for a refund or 1-to-1 replacement. Imagine if there are 100 units out there, and 100 people lodge a case with consumer tribunal, Samsung will be busy sending people to attend the tribunal (if they refuse to entertain our request) and it will definitely create headline, "Over 100 Note 7 users bring Samsung to consumer tribunal court for faulty phone". I guess a multi-billion company doesn't need that kind of publicity

Wah if got new design S-Pen, might as well try to damage the current one so that we can get a replacement hehe

Ok it's on Engadget now

With so many problems now, I rather they recall. Just get the Apple then haha

Don’t really get it when some hope that recall will not happen and prefer that our sets is safe. To me, I’ve sort of lost confidence and rather they change my unit (of course they might not do so and just change the battery). Even if battery is fine, the bootloop itself warrants a concern already.

My unit has been always good but as I’ve posted before, I’m sceptical and worried. Today my phone freeze 3 times, manage to restart and haven’t gone to bootloop yet. But sure I feel the cancer signs is showing.

Then my gf unit is turning extremely hot, battery sudden drop very quickly. After restart, charge again, still the same. No new app installed for the past few days, today just suddenly happened. Checked app status nothing unusual draining battery. I advise her to send to SC, I feel very dangerous when the battery gets so hot.

Damn you Samsung, what a shame. I’ll consider to pursue them for a full refund (yes, I know likelihood I’ll not get it, but I’ll monitor the situation and decide later)

Bad, because the phone is faulty itself, and repair is not good enough. As many has also questioned will it affect (even slightly) the waterproofing. Moreover, we're not sure how long it takes to repair with surely everyone rushing to send in their phone, and we will be without phone for some time, plus we will need to backup and format our phone to be safe, with all the time spent on this, a repair doesn't do consumers justice. They're a rich company, bite the bullet and replace all, though based on business decision, will be very unlikely

So who's bringing your Note 7 now for a snorkeling trip or trying the hardness of GG5 before returning to them for a new unit? I guess many here will do many crazy stuffs to the phone haha, but be careful not to trigger it to explode

Haha I think as long as you don't break your screen and do other more risky stuffs should be fine la.

I think it doesn't make sense to hand in 2 weeks before. It only makes sense when they need to check your phone and see if you're entitle for exchange. But since now it's confirmed that all phone shall be replaced, they should actually just prepare the units, just like during preorder, each stores order the same number of units as during preorder campaign and customers can just walk in to replace. That's the least hassle for everyone, walk in, hand over your old unit, grab the new one. That's it.

Of course no fuss until you face the problem. I've 4 units and 2 already started to have problems.
It's a ticking time bomb.

Don't think the pic is real

Not all I use, I bought total 4 units for family members

Whether I choose to use it or not, I'll just keep it first until a clearer instruction is released by Samsung. If their instruction is one to one exchange by handing over your old phone and getting the new one on the spot, then I might as well return it on that day itself
