Can you provide details how a powerbank can heat up a phone?

Is samsung giving away anything aside from the refund amount?

Unit is still working fine without battery limitation after update. This is true if your device has no charge limitation prior.

This is what I am afraid of. Those who went for a refund eventually ends up waiting for weeks/months until the actually amount is received by the customer. I had a discussion with Samsung PH today about how to process the refund outside Philippines. It seems like there is still no clear...

None was mentioned. That's the only info taken from the pop-out notification.

Let's change the thread title to Who is still using their Note 7 (on the ground)? ---------- Post added at 12:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:44 AM ---------- Check for local Samsung Service Center. They can process it for you in case you decide to return it.

Agree. But I've also had first hand experience with mobile processors that catch fire and sustain combustion. Component packaging is not fire retardant. Its as simple as supplying +12V to the +3.3V rail of the IC. The voltage was supplied directly to the IC as part of safety test where we...

I prefer to stay off grid and away from spotlights. I am not after for the number of likes either. I may share my findings to Samsung if they're interested and of course here at XDA assuming that by that time the petition to close all Note7 threads is not yet granted by the admin. With regards...

I completely agree with going off grid. We fear what we dont understand. No. Some people fear what they dont understand. I respect those who are after for their safety and prefer to return their Note7. Again, we get it. We read news just like you do. In return, I would ask you to please respect...

And I cant relate how posting that news contributes to the topic about why the device catches fire. Probably its just an FYI but then, I get it. I really appreciate the concern. And that's no rocket science either. Back to the topic. I've run some series of stress test on the device...

For those who went for refund, did you get cash or cheque?

I believe the topic is about who is still using their Note7. Maybe its time to create a separate topic about "Please return/replace/refund your Note7". I respect people whoe are so concerned about my safety. How they insist that I have to return mine ASAP. Probably I have to say this again...

Because paranoia and sabotage are something Samsung cant fix. Those are just two of the reasons why Note7 catches fire.

A safe deposit box , a fireproof pouch, a fire blanket. The simplest is having a fire extinguisher within reach where you commonly place the Note7. Mine sleeps inside my bbq grill when unattended for a long time. Obviously, we dont want the device in public after the recall so it will be...
