Seem like china n us note 7 also dangerous, samsung claim this 2 country device should have no problem. But now an explode case in the us.

good info for all...



basically, charge or dun charge phone, the risk of catching fire is there...

further in the article, it does explain why fast charging can also add more risk to it.

if this is explosion/fire retardant bad, ok la... but looks like regular plastic.

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...

Like mentioned. All still using their note 7 should be carrying a fire extinguiser just in case. Safety first.

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

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

see:

OMG so serious! I thought it would be like small case only.

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

the rest, USA included, is all recalled?

i realized that the most reliable news in regards to explosion is recently the aussie explosion on the hotel, but it was neglected as he overcharge it overnight. my 2 cents observation, so far malaysia no cases as of yet, as most of us are aware on how to minimize the risk such as charging it with attention, disable fast charging and all.

how concrete is the jeep explosion and the garage news explosion? i mean like come on, how come he left the phone charge at the garage unattended without people at home. sounds fishy.

Malaysia mostly are Vietnam set so may be don't have this problem

Overcharging is a negligible issue as there are failsafes in the phone to prevent it.

Charging a phone does not mean someone has to watch it while it does it thing. Nothing fishy about it.

Do they even have official car chargers for note 7 yet? come on.. common sense.
These US cases, sounds a lot like.. insurance claim. These guys really like to milk the $$ via thier "Awesome" lawyers.. and you get to sue everyone and everything over there after all.

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...

If one is too worried about the Note 7 exploding, just switched it off and don't use it. Wait for replacement to come in
My friend who bought over my unit isn't worried about it all. It is his daily work phone and he used it heavily daily. He had been a diehard Note user since the first Note. He is in the media-advert business. He simply cannot live without the SPen ! He had a spare ip6 as a spare phone if needed. He had nothing but only praises for the Note 7 which he said is a vast improvement over his ex Note 5. He has yet to experienced any sudden reboot, freeze/hung issues as reported by some users here

fake one is it? or purposely put in to expose to extreme sunlight?

Me too.

But try to talk to those Samsung & Maxis CS, surprising Samsung CS said can return and get refund, haha.
