Its banned on cruises too Source

dont think so. RM2699 SRP for the XZ 64GB is arguably competitive among the other flagships in MY, and that is if you dont count Q1-2 flagships.

anyway, i sold off my Note 7 to a friend. it's been a joy of 2 weeks prior replacement.

Does any of the explosion occured in malaysia?

Another replacement Samsung Galaxy Note 7 has caught fire, bringing the total to three this week alone. This one was owned by Michael Klering of Nicholasville, Kentucky. He told WKYT that he woke up at 4AM to find his bedroom filled with smoke and his phone on fire. Later in the day, he went to the hospital with acute bronchitis caused by smoke inhalation.

"The phone is supposed to be the replacement, so you would have thought it would be safe," Klering told WKYT, saying that he had owned the replacement phone for a little more than a week. "It wasn’t plugged in. It wasn’t anything, it was just sitting there."

The most disturbing part of this is that Klering’s phone caught fire on Tuesday and Samsung knew about it and didn’t say anything. And actually, it gets worse than that.

Samsung asked Klering if they could take possession of the phone and he said no, though the company did pay to have it x-rayed — but the damning evidence comes in the form of a text message that Klering inadvertently received from a Samsung representative:

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
Samsung was aware that its replacement phones were catching fire five days ago. Another caught fire on Thursday (on an airplane), and then another on Friday in the hands of a thirteen-year old girl. That’s three in less than a week, with Samsung giving its customers little more than meaningless platitudes about "[taking] every report seriously" and that "customer safety remains our highest priority as we are investigating the matter."

Except that’s a lie. If customer safety was really the highest priority, we would have seen statements from Samsung telling customers to stop using even their replacement phones after the fire on the Southwest flight on Thursday.

At this point, it’s irresponsible for us to say anything else: If you own a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 you should immediately stop using it and return it for a refund — all the major US carriers will exchange the phone, regardless of purchase date. We don’t know why Samsung hasn’t been more forthcoming about what’s going on with these replacement devices, but it doesn’t really matter. Until we get more information, the simplest explanation is the best one: The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is a fundamentally defective product and it should be pulled from the market without delay.

To say that fan boy is not as aggresive as other brands i bet to different. Probably user base is low to make their sound heard. But it cant be compared to samsung. I still remember that are there people who choose to pick devices so long its not samsung just to prove a statement but cant deny the fact samsung have their own prime features.

LG V20
HTC 10
Google Pixel
OP3

Apple users don't have a fanboy? Hahaha. Good joke.
Let me give an example, the announcement of the first Apple Watch. Look for a video and you will see how much fanboy Apple users are.

Samsung will ask all global partners to stop sales and exchanges of Galaxy Note7 while further investigation takes place

We are working with relevant regulatory bodies to investigate the recently reported cases involving the Galaxy Note7. Because consumers’ safety remains our top priority, Samsung will ask all carrier and retail partners globally to stop sales and exchanges of the Galaxy Note7 while the investigation is taking place.

We remain committed to working diligently with appropriate regulatory authorities to take all necessary steps to resolve the situation. Consumers with either an original Galaxy Note7 or replacement Galaxy Note7 device should power down and stop using the device and take advantage of the remedies available.

There isn't any notice on refunding the phone for now. What about users that have purchased their official accessories such as cases and other things? It would cause the owners to be passed if this ever happens.

I still love this phone after upgrading from note Edge to the Note 7. Phone rarely heats up at all. Sad to hear such sad news early in the morning.

So sad. Damn.  Best phone ever I must say.
Guess have to get lg lv20. Anyone bought lg lv20? Not ap of course.

purchasing of accessories is owners decisions. these are not required for use of the phone.

so technically, Samsung can say that's your problem.

but if they really want to score some quick wins.. they should compensate owners in some ways... in USA, partners are offering credits to compensate.

I saw that issue before. Will go check n see.
Cause my sis LG g4 is working fine.
Guess lg lv20 or telco with i7p.

So I must be one of unsound mine to consider buying V20 as an alternative to Note7
It is one choice what one wishes to buy
Anyway my ip7+ 128gb is coming in mid Oct and I am very sure it wont be my daily driver
I had never understand the craze over the iphone and I had bought and tested since first model till ip6s+ except ip5s. I continue to buy the ip series merely to keep up with IOS tech.

But are u ready to change to a new environment from android world to IOS?

How about Axon 7?

I believe there is only 2 reasons, either touchscreen problem or motorboard problems..

For iPhone, CONFIRM don't use "clone" adapter one..
Coz last time my friend use "clone" adapter, cause electric shock circuit.. The whole houses no electric and main switch jump up (autoshut down)...

And the adapter charger (white plastic) slightly melt with plastic smell....
