    So, you thought that you own "your" phone? think again! Next is your car. the corporations will decide where you are allowed to go and where not.

          LostInTheSorrow, 29 Dec 2016I wonder whether shutting down works without even connectin... morethey can send the "powerdown message" via backgroud-sms or via backroud-broadcast messages. Those kind of messages are invisible to the users.

              they can steal any data from our phone . just they dont do that . when this power down function are allow in our phone. its a privacy attack.

                I wonder whether shutting down works without even connecting to the Internet. If no then whether custom ROMS and IMEI changing overpasses that. I tend to believe that advanced users may find a way to fight with Samsung's decision.

                  Why dont in the whole world? If they studyed it is dangerous from one country so them in all in other country. Samsung knows that even they shut it down there are a lot of techie in every country who could avoid there shut down. This a waste of news. People who have a note 7 already modefied there unit.

                        Why does that not look like the Note 7 notif pulldown but an S7 instead?
