Too much of people accesing at the same time I guess.

I never apply any screen protector since the day 1 I was using smartphone. So yes. I can guarantee that naked screen is the best!

Since we are on the topic of the importance of 3.5mm headphone jack, there's a rumor saying that Samsung may follow Apple's footstep in next year.

Honestly, I won't be surprised if they do follow since the mobile trends is "You copy me, I copy you" kind of thing....

Thank you for the free publicity. For people who been wondering, I am that Note 5 user. The one and only in this thread

Already few days liao, you still cannot get over with it ah? Hahaha....Nevermind. I already moved on and don't care about what others think anymore. You enjoy ya.

Is it? I thought that the bootloop would be fixed after they changed the battery...looks like the bootloop issue has nothing to do with the faulty battery.

I bet it's free accessories.

Btw, any whispers regarding when SME will bring in blue coral version?

Guys, still remember that Samsung claimed that Note 7 China version is totally safe since they are using different battery factory? Well, it seems that China users could not escape from the fiasco as well.

Today latest news from China, still is mandarin article at this moment (I will try to post the english news once it's out). According to the owner, it was happening during he was browsing the phone.

Pics and proof of receipt attached. From the pic itself, we can see that the battery was swelling up.

Multiple of assumptions out there. Mostly assume either Samsung China battery also has its flaws as well, or the root cause is not the battery itself. Anyway, this made the 1st Note 7 battery explosion case in China.

Really no idea. Even if really got any owner die, we probably won't be able to see any reports from it since the owner is already dead and he/she was unable to make the report....

If no response at all no matter what you did, then probbaly the battery or the motherboard is kong.

Don't wait until 29 Sept. You can try to send it back to SC asap. According to some users, you can get a loan phone if you send the Note 7 to them early.

This is the most accurate answer.

Technically speaking, there's nothing wrong if the news/article title mentioned about the word "ban". You can only blame it for not elaborating more on the title. Instead, they explained more details inside the article. But, isn't this is a common practise in news report, where most of them love to use few words only in the title, which mostly could not justify the real meaning of the whole article? That's why we need to read the content instead of focusing on the title itself. But unfortunately, people always tend to jump into conclusion based on a small title. Again. that's a common thing in this real world.

Regarding the precaution method, which is locking the maximum charging battery capacity at 60%. Not sure when Samsung will implement this globally. But for Samsung Hong Kong, they already started it today.

Ya. When I was thinking about this, I suddenly realized. In these days, we saw so many explosion news here and there all around the world. People said those are so bad and negative, and those news are ruining the brand and image, etc. But do you all realize, why those explosion cases keep coming in, and it's still hapenning until this day? The answer is very simple! It's because at this very moment, there's still got many users who ignored Samsung's warning and they are still using Note 7. As simple as that.

Samsung did recall the faulty units, Samsung did post the warning, apologizing, refunds, exchange, compensations, etc. We should applause for the gesture. But they forgot one thing that they have no power to stop and avoid. The most important thing! The human nature. Some people said they won't be afraid of it. Some said it won't happen so easily. Everyone has their very own reason. But at the end, if it really happen, who would be blamed? of course the victim would not blame themselves. Instead, they would blame Samsung. That's the human nature.

If ALL users stop using Note 7 and return the faulty units, one, it will keep you safe, two, the explosion news would stop immediately and Samsung's image is safe. Isn't this a win-win situation?

Follow up. 2nd case from China. Pics and reports inside the link (mandarin)

http://www.mobile01.com/topicdetail.php?f=568&t=4925988&p=11


Samsung China announced that they have received those reports and they promised they will investigate.

http://www.weibo.com/ttarticle/p/show?id=2...021107911985935

The question is why Samsung China edition would explode as well? Their battery are manufactured by ALT, not SDI. But still, the same thing happened. First we thought it's battery issue, so SDI took the responsibility and Samsung fired them. Now even ALT (China) also have the same problem. Looks like we are back to square one now.

Read these 2 paragraphs.

"三星中国方面当时向界面新闻强调，由于该部分产品为2016年9月1日正式销售前通过三星官网盖乐世社区等渠道，通过以旧换新等方式提供的测试体验用手机，属于测试机，不在公开发售的范围内，国行版本因为采用不同电池供应商因此依然不受影响。

　　然而如果此次“首爆”事件属实的话，则意味着与该手机同一批次的Note 7国行也有可能存在安全隐患。而除了将面临召回国行产品的压力外，三星的品牌信誉也将遭受严峻质疑。"

The 18xx recalled units are 测试体验用手机 (testing/demo units). 国行版本 (retail version units) are using different battery supplier, so they are not affected. However, the unit in this explosion case is 国行版本. Get the idea?


Ya. I like to share. So you feel funny ah? Well, no one is forcing you to read. I already said this before. Don't like it, just skip it. You hate to see me to share, I got no problem with that. But there's a bunch of people in here who do follow the news, whether they are true, or to be verified. You said I am 唯恐天下不乱！, hahaha. I wished. Unfortunately I don't have that kind of power, I am just a small potato who like to forward the news.

Latest update.

http://tech.qq.com/a/20160918/028682.htm

Last night an user who is using Note 7 China units received a messsage from Samsung via the phone. The message (pic attached below) was asking the users to stop using Note 7. They also asked the users to go to nearest SC/retail shops for further assistance. They also stated that from now on, the phone will be limited to maximum 60% when charging.

ya, it does not confirm. Afterall, it is still in "to be verified" statu). But you can read this site again and follow the progress (I assume you can read chinese).

http://item.btime.com/36blblj753890j8rfb248a1j3ke

The original source pf the news was deleted. The victim has been reached by Samsung China representative, but no afterwards report from that. And Samsung China removed all the related info in their online store 京东商城. Not sure what's going on. No conclusion, no update, that's all. it's kind of obvious that Samsung China is taking action to cover up the explosion news inside China. Please read the link I provided above. It's not a fake news. It's really going on in China. So now we have no ways to verify this anymore since Samsung China already stepped in the game.

Like I said previously, I am just forwarding the news, whether they are true or to be verified. I just want to to let you guys know that there are something going on out there. To believe or not to believe is up to personal judgement. I just forwarded the news. You guys can choose to read it or not to read it. If you choose to read it, you can feel free to discuss. But if you think the news is bullshit, then please blame the news or the source. Thank you.

I know bro. I know you are discussing it. No worry. My previous message was for those other forumers who hate to see me posting Note 7 news.
