It's in recovery mode. Go to wipe cache partition.

No it wont. Actually it's recommended to wipe the cache partition regularly to keep the phone operation in tip top condition. Certain issues will go away after the wipe. I do wipe cache in all my smart phones once a month. And so far no issue at all. It's like doing a massage once a while to get rid of those pressures and tensions (I know this metaphor is suck). LOL...

Switch off the phone. Press and hold the volume up button, power button and home button simultaneously, hold until the phone vibrate and switch on and Samsung logo shows up. And then wait for few seconds. The phone will go into recovery mode. In there, you can choose wipe cache partition. After wiping, then reboot the system.

Second recall for Samsung Galaxy Note7 could happen, experts say

Lab test shows how Samsung Galaxy Note 7 explodes

Singapore laboratory applies pressure to fully charged Samsung phone, causing it to smoke and then burn

http://gulfnews.com/business/sectors/techn...lodes-1.1908390


As we knew, samsung did claim that most of the explosion cases were caused by external heat and external pressure. Here comes the question. If pressure could make the phone explode, then how much of pressure should the owners avoid? Some explosion cases indicated that the phone was exploded inside the jean pocket. Was is because of the jean was too tight, hence the pressure and the explode? I know this sound silly. But we all know in many cases Samsung did say the phone exploded due to external force....So confused. Now I wonder what's the real root cause of the explosion cases....

Of course it's common sense. But you also cannot deny the fact that now many labs are started to be interested to do various tests on a specific phone, which I think it's kind of rare.

The cover of the flashlight and heartbeats sensor are made of plastic. It's the tradition since the older models in Note series.

Speaking of this, there's speculation saying that Samsung indeed know the reason why Note 7 blow up, such as design or faulty component. But they don't want to take the blame of it. So they claimed that SDI battery is the culprit. In short, SDI ended up becoming the scapegoat. This also explained why China version which is using different battery manufacturer, ATL, also having the same issue. It's because the explosion have nothing to do with battery.

Have you tried to key in your imei number in the Samsung imei site? See what's the result first.

http://www.samsung.com/us/note7recall/

If your number does not pass the check, that will mean that your phone is still a recalled unit.

That's too bad. Have you tried to reset the phone after the update? If not, try it first. May be the reset can fix the issue.

If reset also cannot solve, then I suggest you to complain to SME. Tell them the reason, the problems you may encounter, and ask them to fix it asap. If they claim that they cannot do anything about it, then you should ask for exchange. Afterall, it's not your fault. It's the software problem. Samsung already promised that new phones will have the green battery icon. Yours don't have the green icon. That means Samsung broke their promise (technically). You have the rights to ask for a replacement.

It depends. At this moment, most of the airlines still allow new Note 7 on flight. But due to the recent incident, today some airlines started to "re-ban" Note 7 (recalled or post recalled unit) on flight. For one, a Taiwanese shared this photo when he/she took flight today. Do notice the message mentioned that as long as you are holding a Note 7 (new or old, it doesn't matter now), you are advised to switch off the phone and charging is not allowed.

Corrected. AT & T is the 2nd largest. Verizon is the largest. While T-Mobile and Sprint are the last.

Taken from the news link provided by The Verge. The interview clip inside.

Apparently, the reason why the news said Samsung was awared of this but never said anything about it, is because....





If that particular message was coming from Samsung, man, this is very terrible. So this is how the victim being treat. And this is how they handling the case report.

I think it's because of the volumes? Those are the countries where the Note 7 sales volume are much more larger compared to other countries.

2 possibilities. Either that owner was lying about something, or that owner does not trust Samsung and he was afraid that samsung may cover it up.
