This is all bad karma for Samsung. They rushed without quality assurance. They tried to play Apple's game of planned obsolescence with sealed batteries. Four incidents including the Southwest evacuation has now happened in the U.S. with the "safe" Note7. It is over for the Note7. Samsung is no longer telling us anything.
I love people still supporting this phone. Such irresponsible arrogance on their part. If we knew how to prevent it from happening, I would understand. But we can't. It can burn up randomly. Just because it didn't happen to you doesn't mean it can't happen to someone else who is sitting near you. Return the Note7 and get another phone. Be doing everyone a favor.
I said to myself, screw it. I don't want any 2016 flagship. All a waste of money for these 2 year throwaways. For a good price, get an iPhone SE for $450 which still is faster than every 2016 Android flagship out there at double the cost. For me, I will pick up a $50 ZTE Zmax 2. It might be crap but it won't burn on me and has that rare feature of removable battery.
Note7 = waste of money. Burn your pocket, your hands, and anything around it. Most flagships over $500 are that way. Avoid buying expensive phones and giving into these brands' brainwashing on you to buy something you don't need and becomes disposal after a couple of years. ZTE Zmax 2 ftw! $49.99.. Nothing to lose. I own five other phones anyway.

The last few news hours paint a pretty strong picture for the future of this phone.
I do understand how one unchecked news source can be quoted by everyone, so one incidence wasn't 'enough' to go by and pack this phone up...
The quoted sms accidently sent metioning tactics like 'slow him down'... is pretty screwy. Samsung might be 'somewhat' forced to follow financial direction suggestions and split lines and areas of operations.. damn.
Note 7 is a nice phone.
My first one, I trusted, even with recall notices, I would have been happy to have kept it.
Knowing they can issue a software flash that makes the phone a brick, my time with Samsung (and their low SAR) seems likely over.
Will have to find a fair replacement; makes me feel like my symbian/psion days of having a seperate computer/organiser to my telephone...
Perhaps my tablet becomes my organiser etc and my phone- heaven forbid- is an actual phone. My favorite phones were always tradesmen models (tough) you could throw at your feet when hitting cafes'.
The Note 7 was the closest to a small (vs my note edge) phone that had it all, including as 'extras', the best screen, camera and audio. Whilst my tablet has a pen, the draw straight to screen feature with the s-pen (even with the screen off) is something that a dollar notebook and pencil might have to takeover.
If a one box 'best' no longer is an option, then seperates I will do.
Seperate audio player and amp, seperate organiser and a small phone.
Just when I had got use to 'one box to rule them all'- using kevo locks and NFC chip bank card payments I could literally leave home with just my phone. (My drivers licence sits with my phone in its case.. most other 'rewards cards' can be made digital and stored on the phone. Leaving home with one 'toy' (no keys and wallet) makes me feel free as a child! (In my country children have freedom, just to clarify)

Today another exploded replaced device and AT&T stopped selling the note 7 and offered to replace the phone with another samsung device or another brands
I think as a result samsung will stop selling this phone to save its goodwill and an early S8 release is expected!
Really sooo sad i love this device

AmarR, 09 Oct 2016And.. here we go..
http://www.sammobile.com/2016/10/09/a... moreYes. I have powered down and retired my Note7. I have placed back my 128 GB microSD card to my Note 3. Restored connection to my smart and reset up my Spotify music. Just waiting for the go to return it. Somehow, my telco agent needs to ask "special permission" to cancel my account.
Being back with my Note 3 means I'm back with 10,000mAh extended battery, which means no need charging at the middle of my day despite heavy use.
I'll miss the better responsive S Pen, camera... for a month or two.

If samsung offers me a note 7 for only 150$ i wont buy it .... nowadays every note7 user feels like he/she is the unlucky user .. its just a curse .. samsung should take all note 7 from markwts and replaced the users with new note5 .. and we dont forget the remain price . If samsung will just go to the abyss

Samsung, do a recall and replace all Note7 with Note5 at least. Lets just stop this Note7 things. Its not working amymore. Financial wise, it ia better to divert all that spending to halting Note7 instead of replacing it again and again . I cant bear anymore news about Note7. I officially assumed it as a discontinued device. Lets just pretend Note7 never exist.

They should allow every customer who purchased a Note 7 the ability to exchange their device for the Note 8 when it comes out

Try to get one Note 7 that Samsung is selling in China and Hong Kong, those they dont have the Samsung brand logo on front. They don't have battery problem because they have different supplier batteries and as I know for friends that bought the divice they dont habe any problem all oposite they have great experiencie. I have my all mighty note 4 and I will buy note 7 here in Hong Kong. I dont understand why only usa citizens and in USA only these phones have this big problem. Over the world no problem. Just USA...

Replacement Note 7's are also catching on fire. This means that Samsung, 1. has ZERO quality control, 2. Has no records of batch specific quality control. Samsung has no idea how many of their Note 7 phones are corrupted and could potentially catch on fire. Unlike the first time around, Samsung isn't even acknowledging the continued problem with the replacement phones.
