    Note5 user, 27 Sep 2016Until now Samsung hasn't replaced my overheating note 5. Ho... moreThere is no rules saying overheating phone required to be replaced neither its endagered your life in any way possible. Dude, can't handle the heat get out of Samsung! Every brands out there have at least on smartphone model that overheat. Buy at your own risk. Even smartphones using SD810 didn't get a global recall. Go cry to your mama.

      Until now Samsung hasn't replaced my overheating note 5. How can you trust a company that can't serve their customer well? This company is full of bullsh*t!

        AnonD-139514, 27 Sep 2016I find something fishy here...only note 7 had faulty batter... moreIts like this, you catch a guy doing a crime and you think its his 1st time.
        Then you run his prints only to find that they were present in lot of previous cases too and that 1 incident throws light on all the past incidents and a lot of unsolved cases.

        If you google, you will find evidences since s3, its just coz you or the other guy never read about it doesnt mean they never happened....

        Note 7 fiasco just was the incident bringing light to the public.

        P.s. i myself have been a saamy user from galaxy 3 ( not galaxy s3, just 3 )
        To s4 and now s6.

        And this is my last sammy...
        Not because of the battery issues. But because how they treat their user base after sales.
        No frequent updates, bad customer service, they even left my s4 in a full buggy state coz they had to focus on s6 and s6 and other devices that came after s4...

        Also their modding policies are getting mors stingent by the day..
        Hell s7 even comes with a locked bootleader now.... and for me android is all about doing stuff with a open os.
        So its oneplus or nexus devices for me now.

          I am still waiting for my (2) two S7 edge to be sent to me. I have contacted Samsung and they have yet to even contact me back nor send me my 2 new S7 edge phones. So the transition has not been as easy as they claim. Looks like I may be changing to an I phones. If they don't soon get me either my phones or my refunds.

            they explode because of the idiotic fast charge option and i will explain you why as the battery is fast charging is becomes warm/hot (depends also if you use the device while is charging) and also it tends to inflate a little bit when it inflates so much that it can be punctured it catches fire in a very violently way and also you can see that 2-3 years ago when fast chargers were not launched into the market the explosions/fire cases were not so many as they are now

              This fire on samsung galaxy s7 edge and the note 7 might be caused due to the new dust proof and water resistant coating which doesn't allow the heat to get out..

                        see Samsung feel responsible enough, not just saying "You charged it wrong"

                                even full refund cant buy iphone 7 plus. also s7 edge is atleast 15% smaller in size despite having same screen size.

                                  That's the cause of forcing mobile phone to process as multi thread, multitasking devices, mimicking a PC devices!
