I never use wireless charging, it is not one of my requirement.
What I need is fast charging. But after the replacement, I can 101% confirm that note 7 does not support fast charging anymore. It is damn slow in charging, compare to before replacement

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.

Exactly. Battery in Note 7 is not the cause of fire/explode. In fact, something in Note 7 device itself having problem, that trigger the battery to caught fire. As we all know lithium ion batteries are more vulnerable to catch fire and explode. It has nothing to do with the battery design, nor the manufacturer of the battery. It MUST be the design of the board in Note 7.

do you mean your replacement unit doesnt support fast charging?. Did you disable it because there is an option to enable or disable it...

Some people already sold off their freebies because actually, once they mentioned freebies, it's up to the owner to decide whether they want to keep or not.

Furthermore, if this is refund, not the owner's fault. I think the freebies will be kept by the owner.

Battery could be one of the reasons but they might act too fast to conclude it's the sole issue.

gosh, wasted so much money buying the otterbox alpha glass, otterbox case, samsung ori leather case, samsung ori screen protector...

Now come to think of it, SDI will be super frustrated because they became scapegoat for this.

Not true. My fast charger is very fast on my replacement Note 7. Maybe you have a defective charger or you didnt enable the fast charging on the setting.

if fast charging is absolute must... you should look at oneplus 3...

Is time to say good bye

They disabled it in one of the software updates. Replacement or not it's disabled.

Same plan here

although same manufacturers but also need to consider things such as dimensions, capacity and etc
S7 battery is 3000 mah, Note 7 is 3500 mah, means chemical density is more packed in note 7 given the same dimension

I will go with the refund then. Maybe back to Nexus 6P or use chaplang phone for now and play the waiting game.

Refund me the RM2880 I paid for it and buy Google Pixel XL

P/s: I wonder if clear coat is transferable to another phone or not lol because of this fiasco..

please make sure the option to use fast wireless charging has been turned on and use only the official charger that supports fast charge

that is really a question...lol

S7 EDGE BATTERY IS 3600MAH ....BIGGER THAN NOTE 7 IN MORE COMPACT BODY

I don't think Google Pixel or Pixel XL will be officially in Malaysia, since this time they make their own phone and they will sell it themselves unlike last year Nexus 6p, made by Huawei, you can buy it from Huawei or Google itself. FYI, in Malaysia we cannot purchase directly from Google, it does not ship to Malaysia.
Unless there are AP seller like DirectD, and i reckon the price will be sky high.

Now Samsung having BIG problem to stop production of this device already..

Latest news look from here

Although some people has been replaced new devices, it's seems like the grenade timing bomb still running and cannot prevent to explode. Besides, I think they have a second time recall to 1-by-1 exchange the new devices.
