the owner go with media with this news, isnt he or she? why cant the owner give the device back to samsung for investigstion and log a report with CPSC who now investigate the note 7 issue. nothing better to get the governor offical involve unless u up to something other than the note 7 safety.

Read the news again. I think this is the reason why he refused to give the device back to Samsung.

QUOTE
Klering says he felt Samsung was helping him, until he got a text message from a Samsung representative that was not intended to go to him.

That message read: Just now got this. I can try and slow him down if we think it will matter, or we just let him do what he keeps threatening to do and see if he does it

"It made me think you know they're not taking this serious enough and it's time to move on," Klering said.



As for the "get the governor offical involve" part, the news did mention this:

QUOTE
So now Klering says he is seeking legal help.


I believe soon or later the govt official will involve, no matter he wants it or not.

Anyway, as I said earlier, the owner refused to give the phone to Samsung simply because he does not trust Samsung due to that message he received.

CPSC is involve in the investigation. there is no way they will hide the truth. for the recent airline case, the devise is also investigate by samsung with CPSC help. there is no way to know the cause of this without checking it.
*
You need to understand that this case was happened before that airplane case, before the CPSC was involved. At that time, the owner did not know how to handle it. All he did was refuse Samsung's offers due to trust issue. Now since it's exposed to the medias, may be the owner will send the phone to CPSC or other govt agencies soon. Or may be they will reach to him soon. vice versa.

just skip his video. his video is full of hate as mentioned on the comments it self. How can be the title is full review where he endless pointing out the same frust. I don't see it help us on the pre order owners by any means.


I agree that reviewer is misleading on his title. You are right that it does not help you all on the pre order owners by any means. But please keep in mind that video is not made for the owners. It's for the people who are still considering whether to buy Note 7 or not. As you can see, that reviewer already put that description "is this phone still worth buying?" on the preview.

Either provide S7/S7 Edge as interim phone, or repair our old Notes for free if we upgrade from these (I doubt they will, where to find old Notes spare part nowadays?).
*
Or may be you can downgrade a bit and take the Note 5 as interim phone, if the S-Pen is a must for you. But of course, the compromises are lack of SD card slot and IP68 water resistance.

wanna ask all comrades, if let say, if eventually, samsung decides to terminate note series, and ask you to return note 7. what will you do? i seriously can't find any phone to replace beloved note :'(
*
Note series is one of the biggest trump cards from Samsung, they won't end it so easily. The worst, they will pull off the Note 7 completely. Put the Note 5 back to the shelf, wait until the arrival of the brand new Note product (Note 8 or a different note line prodict) in next year.

That's only for US. If counting Taiwan and Korea as well, so far:

US: 3 (under investigation)
Taiwan: 1 (already give back to Samsung and refunded)
Korea: 3 (1 confirmed is replacement unit, the other 2 still unverified)

it seems like the jump from 3000mah to 3500mah really break their technology  laugh.gif

but some other manufacturer can come out with larger battery and goes without a hitch
*
That's why there are some speculations saying that the problem is not coming from the battery itself, but the phone design or other component parts.

it is from the battery

the reason being said on this video is the battery itself have some impurities

well...im not a engineer either. but this youtuber have clearly explain it might be the battery as all those fail safe looks intact in this case by analyzing the picture by him
*
Ya. That was for the recalled units. But now the replacement units (which Samsung claimed that they have changed the battery manufacturer) also caught fire, that's why some people started to doubt about the real root cause. Well, let see what will CPSC and Samsung say after their investigation, which we don't how long it will gonna take....

Regarding the discussion about what phone should be looking for if Note 7 reaaly stop selling, how about the upcoming Huawei device Mate 9? Looking at the specs, I think this can be the closest thing next to Note 7 (minus the curved screen, S-Pen and IP68).

mate series... too big for me. 6"... right?

but the rest... might be ok.

i realised i'm more comfortable with 5.5"...

but as you said... dun even have ip68... **sigh**
*
Even it's 6", they always able to make it compact enough. You can look at Mate 8, try to hold it on hand, you will be surprised because it doesn't feel like 6" size at all.

Check this comparison,

https://versus.com/hk/huawei-mate-8-vs-samsung-galaxy-note-7

I was surprised too when I compared it to my Note 5. Basically it's the same in term of size. rclxub.gif

tried mate8... and many times, falsely/ wrongly detected touches... due to palm at the side...

Ya. I also encountered that issue when i compared it to Note 5. Mate 8 is weaker in term of touch sensitivity. Samsung device is much better when it comes to touchscreen. Anyway, I was suggesting the upcoming Mate 9, not Mate 8. I think they will improve in Mate 9. Of course, need to look for the demo unit first and see how well it performs.

We just have to see how things evolve as the instructions to totally refund or replace with S8/Note8 rests with Korea, Malaysia is just following orders. Getting S7 Edge as interim is easier since Note7 production halted, production line to focus on S7 Edge this year.
*
Let say if Samsung let the Note 7 owners to replace their phones with S7/S7 edge, I wonder whether there is enough amount of S7/S7 edge to be given out at such a short period. If not enough, rushing the product line again? rclxub.gif

I saw quite alot of people out there, in USA forum, they said if the Samsung call to recollect back the device and for refund, they will definitely won't give back the phone.. 10 out of million of phone is really that low possibility. Not only Samsung will facing a loss, third parties company casing, like spigen, otterbox, they also facing a huge loss too.
*
If they won't give back the phones, then another problems will arise. Because of the public awareness, people sure will look at them and some may be frustrated, at the end, conflicts may happen. Unless they decided to kepp it and use it at home....

But it's really not a very siok feeling to opt for another phone, so far none of the phone in market can compete with note 7.

The people not very siok feeling include me la.. Haha.

LGV20 and pixel, only this two is Okok only can compete with note 7. other than that not my type..
*
I agree, bro. If I am in your shoes, I would also not very siok. In fact, I am actually not very siok as well. As I am using Note 5 now, as other people said, once you go for Note, you won't be able to going back! It's true! Dreaming about changing to coral blue Note 7 since the 1st day it was announced. But now? haih~~~I guess i will have to extend the 2nd year warranty for my Note 5... doh.gif

So far the cases have only happened in US which are using the Snapdragon processor, could it be just affecting those units? I know this is wishful thinking
*
Not only in US, there are also cases in Korea and Taiwan (using Exynos processor). The processor is not the root cause. That's why samsung decided to stop the production until further notice.

Yes. People surround me also like that. But what can it be? That's the fact.

Hope for the best coming. If want wait for next note series, it's such a very long time to wait.. Third quarter of 2017. Now is just 2016.

May be we don't have to wait for that long. May be Samsung will be relasing next Note earlier. May be....... console.gif

Isn't it suspect on the battery?
*
First, they suspected it's on the battery. So they changed to another battery manufacturer. Now, after they already changed the battery, it's still explode/catch fire. So that's why most people suspect that the battery is not the culprit.

I will wait and see first. Anything can happen in the future. May be there won't be any New Note coming out in the near future. May be they change to another new product line similar to Note series. Too much of possibilities. Who knows right? wink.gif
