Samsung Considering A Note 7 Recall

[californiarailroader]

This is interesting, if the design of the Note 7 is the issue, will new batteries help? I bet the CPSC is wondering that too. Here's the article on Bloomberg that goes into detail- http://www.bloomberg.com/news/artic...n-in-rush-to-capitalize-on-uninspiring-iphone

The issue was with only that battery manufacturer. They most likely couldn't produce cells thin enough and so squished them a little to fit.

I hope so, I'm seriously thinking about exchanging the S7 edge on one of my lines (new line as of last Tuesday) for a good Note 7 on Wednesday.

Me too! I'm going to call our local Verizon corporate store today (Ukiah, rural Northwestern California) and see if they have any in, they open at 10. My suspicion is that stores will probably have stock before Wednesday, but won't actually open it for sale until that day. Oh, apparently people in the UK are getting emails from Samsung saying Wednesday will be the day replacement Note 7's will be available there, too.

Ouch. If that's true, then Wednesday is only for replacement Note 7's, new people will have to wait until October 21st.

Supposedly S. Korea is going to resume Sept. 28th. Didn't think it was gonna be that much longer after that but damn.

I called my local store and they said nothing yet and that Samsung just says soon and is estimated for 21st.

That's one of the best explanations of what happened that I've read so far. Thanks for sharing the link.

So, it appears you can get Note 7's again online from Verizon, I just went through the motions, and I could get a new one to me on Wednesday. I checked on picking it up at our local store (Ukiah, CA), but it said "nope", which I expected.

Well, I placed my order for a new Note 7 (Black Onyx) this morning, it ships out today, and it'll be here tomorrow! Here I go again on my own, going down the only road I've ever known, like a drifter I was born to walk alone [emoji124] I'll report back on it when it comes. The S7 edge is going back, it's nice, but it just can't compare to the beast that is the Note 7 [emoji16]

One other thing, the Note 7 is annual upgrade eligible, so you can upgrade every 12 months, not just when you've paid the entire phone off.

Wow, they're quick, I already have a tracking number at FedEx for it! Here we gooooo

Mine has them I'm in Maryland...some things I was watching on YouTube...

Samsung pay info is deleted.. So gift card and so on are gone.. They say you have to go through your emails and enter in your gift card info.
Smart switch takes a long time if you have a lot of text,apps and so on

I placed my order for my replacement Note 7 via phone w/a verizon rep on Tuesday Sept 20. I asked about getting a Samsung VR Head set because I see that Samsung is offering that to customers who bought directly from them. Although he said he couldnt get me the headset for free, he wa able to knock down the price to $25. I am hoping that I will still get the $25 credit that verizon is offering so that the headset WILL be free when all is said and done. I am still waiting on a tracking number though. (edit: I just contacted verizon and they supplied me with the tracking # , so tomorrow Thursday,it will be here.)
