old phone? sold off? traded in?

i'm beginning to think this % is based on reported incidents vs units sold. if so, more cases being reported means % will go higher...

iinm, read somewhere that phone must be in "working" condition when returned.

if screen crack, you need to pay for repairs first. then only can swap. read that like a few pages back.

personally, mocked or not... i dun care. those are just words. i've played with the note7 and i'm generally super happy with the phone -- ok, ok, got some minor "issues" with the new UI but that's another thing.

in the end, your own money... your own enjoyment. if you dun like the phone, you're getting a good chance to sell it when Samsung replaces it with a brand new unopened set.

for me... i love the phone and i can't wait for the exchange to happen. i think it's an awesome phone. and it will still be after i get the new set (with safer batteries).

and if you can get so easily upset by words... you need to really do sth abt it.

FAA warns not to check your Galaxy Note 7 or fly with it on
https://techcrunch.com/2016/09/08/faa-warns...fly-with-it-on/

in regards to this... there's also official "explanation" by Samsung...

see:
http://phandroid.com/2016/09/08/why-samsun...ote-7-explodes/
and
http://www.samsung.com/uk/news/local/uk-st...ng-galaxy-note7

i thought only 3 countries were not affected - -China, Hong Kong and Macau?

the rest, USA included, is all recalled?

i think all units, except China, Macau and Hong Kong, is affected.

just a matter of "luck".

as i shared just earlier, there's already identified cause -- battery.

and iinm, DO NOT require battery to be charging for the fire to start...

already samsung said due to battery cell... so, i believe charge or dun charge, the fire thingy can happen... anytime.

i won't say "randomly" though in a matter of speaking, it can be considered random.

i had shared this earlier (1 page before)...

how i see if... if unlucky and just somehow end up the two areas touch, then... it will heat up and potentially cause the battery to catch fire/ explode.

Samsung UK statement/ FAQ:

just wanna say.. told you guys it's not only about charging.. phone can just catch fire regardless of whether it's charging or not.

also, Samsung may disable the phone after a certain time it's not returned/ exchanged..

tried the gear vr.. while it's not something that must have, it's still fun. but content.. I think still very lacking.

still.. wouldn't it be nice if Samsung gave this to us?

Samsung "made in" labeling can be confusing. I dun think it's an assembly plant there in UK but more a lab/ QC.

from what I've read, only 3 countries not affected - China, Hong Kong and Macao.

the nature of the battery and they issue plaguing Note7, it's possible to catch fire regardless of whether it's on or off...

not surprised since there's now iPhone 7 and v20 soon. at this current price, the other phones look better. so Samsung definitely need to revise price or give lots more freebies.

ya, actually, they should have some sort of rename and physical indicator.

else airlines might still not allow new sets to be used...

usually for a solid product like Note7, no need to reduce price so soon. but due to the battery issue affecting their reputation and also new phone launches, Note7 don't really stand a chance at it's current pricing.

and personally for me, I'm still confident of Samsung product.. and the replacement unit I'll be getting soon.

there's already reports that Samsung will consider disabling these phones if they are not returned/ exchanged after certain date.

70% is small percentage...

that's how many Note7 phones are shipped with battery from the supplier/ manufacturer..

iinm, they will.

did Digi also ask to return wireless charger?

coz that's what they asked me to do and I'm puzzled by that... they said it'll be a one to one swap as well..

need to understand how percentage was derived. was it % calculated on risk of the anode touching cathode and thus causing explosion OR
is the% based on reported cases vs shipped unit.

in the latter, the % will go up as more cases are reported and the number itself can be misleading as it gives ppl false sense of security.
