There's a forumer opted for refund not long ago. IINM, it took about approximately one month for refund.

Well, it could be a problem if the owner want to use that money to get another phone asap.

here, the official news from Samsung partner itself.

Consider this as the latest non-official announcement from Samsung, since sammobile is their partner.

If that's the case, they can always go to sammobile site. It's Samsung partner. Anything new from Samsung, they would be released in that site.

+1.

Where did you quote that from, bro?

Last few days, there's a forumer who have the exact same problem like yours. According to him, he already sent the phone to SC and they said they couldn't help. I suggested him to ask Samsung for an exchange. He said he will try. No news from him since then though.

Yes it is. According to that forumer I mentioned, he also got the same result. But he was unsatisfied with it and he said it will be troublesome for him because he can't prove his phone is safe especially if he wants to take flight. That's how he said. Of course, you can still use it eventhough there's no green battery icon. I guess at the end, it's all up to your own decision. Are you OK with the white battery icon? If ok, then just ignore it and keep using it. If you are not ok, then keep complaining to Samsung and say you have the rights to get the correct vesion since Samsung did promise all new units should be having the green battery icon. It depedns on whether you are willing to accept that flaw or not from Samsung.

No confirmation of halt in Note 7 production: Samsung China

http://www.ecns.cn/cns-wire/2016/10-10/229543.shtml

Korea batch so far got 3 cases. As for China batch, they got about 5-6 cases. But China batch is not replacement units. So it's different story to tell. And as for our Malaysia batch, so far no reports.

Ya. So far the "official explanation" is, no one can confirm, and no one can deny either.

Sadly to say, none, bro. Since you said available on sale in Malaysia, there's really not much choices out there. Some said it's iPhone 7, but that's in different system, so it's really up to you. Other than that, Oneplus 3 is the closest in term of performance.

Wait for a bit bro. Later sure got some forumers will say it's none of our business, said we are spreading fake/negative news, said we are talking rubbish until so many pages, etc..

Now, Samsung official statement is there, instructions been given. Those are facts. If they still cannot accept, if they still say we are nonsence, then it's their problem.

At this critical moment still counting on SME?

If Samsung still want to redo Note 7, first thing they have to do is to let the people know exactly what's the root cause of all these mess up. Open and transparent. No more excuses. Without doing this, people won't buy it anymore no matter how hard they push the sales. People will not be able to bear with 3rd recall or 4th recall anymore. Samsung should not test the limit and patience of their loyal customers.

Based on the feedbacks in Axon 7 thread, the software is half baked, some issues here and there, overall still a good phone for daily driver. but of course, still not up to the standard of Note 7. Most likely, it will be a little dissapointment if you switch from Note 7 to Axon 7.

Let see...most people go for Note 7 because of the S-Pen, camera, screen resolution, IP68, edge screen, larger battery, fast charging. Choose which one is the most important to you. And then decide to change to which phone..

1. S-Pen : Note 5
2. Camera: S7/S7 Edge, Oneplus 3, Nexus 6P, LG V20
3. Screen resolution (if prefer Amoled): S7/S7 edge, Nexus 6P
4. IP68: S7/S7 edge
5. Edge screen: S7 edge
5. Larger battery: S7 edge
6. Larger screen: Note 5, Mate 8, LG V20, Nexus 6P
7. Fast charging: S7/S7 edge, Oneplus 3

For upcoming flagship phone before the end of this year: Huawei Mate 9 (this one I think will be the closest thing to Note 7 minus the S-Pen)

Or else, you can try Iphone 7.

Just my 2 cents.

Obviously the problem is not on the battery. It's something else that cause the battery explode.

Yes it is. But since Samsung already claimed that the battery on the replacement units are safe, and now the issue is still happening, then it could only mean that either Samsung was lying, or they don't know at all what's the root cause of this.
