Just stay away from this bloody time bomb for Christ's sake! WAKE UP PEOPLE!

    AnonD-356282, 09 Sep 2016He was likely not aware of it... not everyone in this world... moreAll carriers have notified Galaxy Note 7 buyers to return their units. So no excuse.

      Thousands of dollars spent on modification (which actually voids the warranty of the car) and he blames Note 7? Couldn't it be his car's faulty wiring which burned his car and a note 7 inside it, instead?

        MKL, 09 Sep 2016This whole site is full of intelligent and Samsung fan peop... moreYou have to note that every Galaxy Note 7 user was notified by their respective carriers to return the phones from the point of purchase. Notifications were inform of text messages and emails and there is no way you expect your carrier to call you when a text message has been sent to your phone. It is over seven days since the recall and that was enough time to take the device back to the point of purchase.

        Another thing. Who leaves an electronic device charging inside a car during a hot summer season? Those temperatures are unbearable even with the windows open and that is clearly marked out in the phone's user manual. Do not expose your phone to beyond or below certain temperatures.

        This guy needs an upgrade for his Jeep and it is funny how this will turn out eventually.

              I'm now fearing my Samsung Galaxy S7 and my wifes Edge which I just bought few days ago.... I'd probably exchange these 2 phones for another brand, thinking of getting Sony/Motorola.

                      Should've bought a Sony instead if transitioning from Apple or vice versa.

                              Cyberdux, 09 Sep 2016So this guy said he was there and saw it.. Well if you ... moreYeah this guy is true
                              So from his perspective or what he's actually trying to say was one who is having a note 7 should not leave their phone to charge either in a car or in any kind of power socket or power source because it will explode & also main thing that he's going to tell is if one having a note 7 is exploded, he should only replace his battery not the complete device even it is exploded because Samsung has called back only for faulty batteries not the devices
                              Hahahahaha lol
                              Your battery has to be replaced with Samsung that only when they've given you even if it was urgent to you & I've a question here is it guaranteed that the batteries which are being replaced by Samsung, are they good or are they going to do the same job like the old one does

                                This whole site is full of intelligent and Samsung fan people. Samsung still telling only around 35 phone exploded. And it's not even mandatory to give your phone back, it's just if you feel your phone is not safe. Besides, every phone should follow standard of a maximum and minimum temperature handling. And when something this big is happening, Samsung should have contacted note7 owner's personally over phone, text message or email and informed them not to use the phone rather leaving it on people's personal judgement.

                                What kind of business ethics is that? You buy phone, they will send it to your home but you got faulty unit, you have to send it back by yourself. Like you have nothing to do in your life, just play with phone. If it is 1 life that is in danger, you have to take responsibility. Not just like "we only got 35 exploded unit. So if you want you can exchange or get money back." Should be you have to.

                                        despite all the media coverage, recalls and public warnings, some idiots still charge the phone and haven't returned it...even though everyone is warning about this issue. What a donkey! why didn't you return the phone like your asked to?
