So far no details on what is really wrong with the phone. I read a news item on Samsung's engineers being unable to simulate the issues. Is it really a design flaw, or is Samsung just taking drastic action to prevent lawsuits?

And no more news of exploding phones now.

You can. You cannot turn on or charge only. I am in Hong Kong airport now on the way to Beijing. I am using Samsung Galaxy charging using the seat USB. No one cares.

Sooner or later this will happen... (Photoshopped image)

Took a flight from Sabah to KL few days ago, all my friends become Giraffe and look at me with those creepy smile when they announced to turn off Note 7 since we are all randomly seated... The jokes and meme will never end.

Gs??? I prefer new ipon 7 plus atm... nothing beats note7 and don feel wanna downgrade to s7e... ip7p barely same level with notty7

HK announced the same

+1.
LG v20 or I7plus to taste IOS

Ya. DirectD got. But too expensive. I waiting other to bring HK SET. But G4 V10 got famous bootloop issue. I'm still depend the ap set price for UK set on 20th Oct.

Else sign celcom with I7plus.

Thx bro for the recommendation... i planning to try out sweet ipon 7p... jet black... no fark its easy calar outlook... haha sexy is a mist

a few additional things to add... you will loose another 32GB of storage... and 3rd party Always On Display (AOD)...       

Just got called from samsung.. they said if choose option C: dun want refund phone or exchange... and keeep ur note 7, samsung going to release a force update to deactivate charging for all note 7. GG guys...

you really going to jump to ios ar?p9+ not nice a?really planning to get either p9+ or s7e injustice(due to the bazel also black)

why not note 8

You really make me angry and want to F%$# you

Today also can wor.

Thought the ip7 bezel is even more obvious? 

Updated latest aod in my s7 edge but still not support third party apps notification like note 7, besides, abit used to the green battery icon....hahaa......that oso missing on s7 edge aod.

32gb does make alot difference.... that was my main reason to upgraded to n7 from s7 edge because i can use dual sim instead of sacrifice sim 2 as micro sd slot. With s7 edge i always running out of space thus no choice to put 64gb micro sd instead or 2nd sim (data sim).
But with the latest digi offer rm80 20gb i think i might not needed the 2nd data sim now .

I will lurk around Apple Store to experience it once I got the chance... btw... are u waiting for second batch from the fact since first batch got all types of issues...

remember post brief review here ya

maybe considering jumping fruit phone 4 the first time ever after my contract ends

downgrading from tech geek 2 dum sheep

For Note or Android users thinking of switching over to iPhone 7/7+, I'd like to offer my experience using iPhones. I had used all the iPhone series since first model with exception of iP5S
Be prepared for a " shock" at how closed IOS is vs Androids
Here are some :

It is basically the management of files on IOS vs Android
To me is quite an important issue but could be totally unimportant to others

IOS restricts any file type to only one app and one must reassigned the same file to other apps if needed eg a PDF file if assigned to Adobe Reader cannot be read by any other apps unless I reassigned it again and that needs iTunes
Using iTunes to manage my files collection is troublesome
Unlike Android you can do practically anything on phone itself eg delete, edit file names, move, copy etc
Most files ( except video) I am unable to delete directly on phone unless to use iTunes
All files downloaded through Mail app if I assigned a certain app to open it , I must use the same app to access it again

Whatsapp : every image and video files is lumped together in one single Camera folder together with all my other photos. Deleting any images/videos on whatsapp will not delete the file and I need to manually go into camera folder to delete it and than select empty from Deleted folder

Downloading attachments on Mail app is terribly slower vs even my lowest end Android. One still need a separate app to send attachments thro Mail.

I had purchased Sandisk iXpand 64GB drive to act as external USB OTG drive but is overall a disappointing experience - file transfer speeds is so terribly slow vs Android. And the Sandisk drive isn't cheap either - last year I paid nearly RM300 for the 64GB unit. All copied files goes to a single My Downloads folder on phone and you cannot placed your files on any folder of your choice

The iPhone is overall a very good efficient phone other than these file management issues. Such files management is easily done on any Android and on the phone itself. I could easily create any folders on phone internal memory or ext SDCard and move files easily within phone itself. No need to connect the iPhone with PC to do such simple tasks
