What if you dont open the wifi and not accept update from your device? Samsung cant force the device to self update without user permission, right?

        In the US they will set it up to a maximum charge of 0% starting on the 27th of December. So, all of you with Note 7s, please consider switching

It was the only waterproof, gorilla glass 5, USB 3.1 phone on the market. I used it as a portable backup solution for my camera; other phones are not suitable. I've decided to wait for the Galaxy Note 8 as nothing really interests me at the moment.

                  None of a single phablet in the market is close to the Samsung Galaxy Note 7.
                  Because of some non-sense rumors, Samsung decided to exchange these phablets without considering users monetary losses.

                  In a simple way Samsung Galaxy Note 7 when purchased it was CAD1050 + Tax
                  for 64GB inbuilt memory and 256GB expandable slot.

                  Now what they are offering as exchange is Galaxy S7 Edge, which has current market price is CAD900+Tax for 32GB inbuilt memory and 200gb expandable slot.

                  Now in the exchange offer what Samsung is offering is Galaxy S7 Edge + CAD100
                  in other word less memory internal/external and CAD900+CAD100=CAD 1000

                  If they care about customer security then why should customer has to suffer price loss and quality difference by losing extra CAD150 from their own pocket. (CAD100 for loss of 32GB internal memory and CAD50 is the net loss if they exchange Note 7 to Galaxy S7 Edge)

                  Now my honest request to Samsung as loyal customer is,
                  we all are happy with Note 7 with our own risk but we all also want to support the law, by returning this Mandatory recall of Note 7 in the exchange of nether money nor by downgrading our phones, but in the exchange of the credit Voucher which should be exchanged with your next phablet release i.e. Note 8.

                  I hope all I am asking is ethical solution where nobody lose anything.

                  As a customer our right for the best phablet we love to have,
                  and as Global company loyal customer base for the company.

                  Hope to hear very positive announcement from the Samsung in this matter.

                  One more thing in South Korea Samsung already announced to exchange Note 7 with Note 8.
                  So if it happens there then why note here...☺

                  Best Regards,
                  Vijay Bang

What if us... moreyes. but why sticking to having a note 7 in the first place. this deal was meant to exchange between note 7 and the S7 edge. (srsly. just 0.2inch difference. you're getting also a larger battery. and the only thing you lose is the pen and the USB-C.)

                              Most of them who keep the Note 7 in risk probably have the second phones, they seem waiting for a better bargain/compensation from Samsung.

                                  Now battery, than data connection, last part is bricking the phone for good. So stupid people can finally get rid of this (legendary as now) and going forward

                                    Battery life on my HTC M8 was awful, no matter what I turned off. iPhone 5s was really bad as well. But I am impressed (so far) with my 7+ considering Apple are known for making shoddy batteries. Heard the S7 is good as well so fingers crossed this is something that Samsung take to the S8.
