As I have noted before, ways to protect yourselves are:

1. Charge your phone to ONLY 90%
2. Trickle charge your phone (avoid fast charging, use 5V 0.5A-1A)

what i have done so far is, leave fast charging on, always unplugged when it 100% rightaway or not too long, the temp is way much lower, from my observation, when you charge the phone approx around 60% it will heat up to 40celcius, although is considered safe as other forumer, just my 2cents of safety precaution.

im heavy user. gaming (DOTi dual games with parallel space), 2 wasap, bla bla bla.
charging my phone in ofis with rock qc2.0 charger (only disconnect when im going out).
charging my phone every single night (overnight with aukey qc2.0) since day 1 until now.
wireless fast charging while watching iflix, etc etc.

but yet, my n7 is serving me perfectly. conclusion, i u got defective unit, nth much u can do. it will blows anyway. if u got perfect unit, just enjoy every bit of it.

i turned off the fast charge and then turn off the charger once the phone got a green LED indicator light

You can walk in to their SC and ask for loaner phone and surrender your current N7 there. I did that and get a S6E+ as loaner. Wouldn't want to carry a time bomb around. Better be safe than sorry.

Personally I don't think fast charging is the culprit as it's already available long ago in Samsung devices.

But the battery isn't the same right?

Battery technology is the same. It's just manufacturing defects if we trust what they announced.

Agreed with you. My N7 so far no problem and I'm charging in the car when ever I'm in the car.
I never even had sudden reboot, freeze/hung issues as reported by some users here. Hopefully this will continue until 29th

yea, i am basing my assumption on what the official statement said.

It isn't the main culprit but based on the articles, the separators for the anode and cathode might be slightly thinner due to manufacturing defects.

Just received call from Samsung Malaysia regarding the exchange. Those who have purchased smart care warranty will be refunded through 3 available methods, either cash, bank transfer or cheque. He / she will record down the method that chosen by you and you may get back your refund at Samsung Service Centre where you purchased your smart care warranty from. Hope this helps.

Nice info. Which mean malaysia compensation is confirm extended warranty + screen crack warranty?
Thus we those bought rm248 shall go get refund?

Nope. What am I trying to say is that you shall get back your RM248 that paid earlier. Just bring the certs to the service centre where you purchased your smart care warranty previously to get back your refund.

Lol my spen stuck inside the phone...

Received msg from the Samsung store where I collected phone to arrange time. They said they did not receive news regarding what freebies will include when replacement and will update me.

I am a happy customer then . Long live note 7

Why should we refund? Cause the new replacement we need to buy another one?

I mean I bought cause I need it. Then they say we do replacement note 7 they will provide free extended warranty and screen crack warranty as compensation for trouble cause. This problem come for ppl like us whom already bought the rm248 warranty.
Careline say management will find something else to compensate us since we bought the warranty. Thus I didn't refund as I memang want the warranty there.

yes , it can be refund. I already check with cs last few day ago.
but some of member said cannot request refund. for this case, I really dont know liao lo

got mine change within hours, common issue i have search online note7 spen clicky part get stucked

since many are going to get replacement unit, perhaps TS can make a note for what to check when collecting the replacement unit

so far i found spen must be test thoroughly click and click again and again lol
