Oh dear.....
not a great day..... rip the galaxy note 7 after the phones had a new habit of batteries catching on fire..... after they recalled them all for... batteries catching on fire....
this comes on the heels of samsung washing machines having to be recalled for "exploding" due to them rattlling so hard on the spin dry's.......
so my mate asked... what would happen if you put a galaxy note 7 inside a samsung washing machine??
i think you would have the end of the space time continium....
anyway anyone got one? anyway have to give it back.... and if you have one... can i stand 50 yards away please!!!!

Was it their washing machines as well? Bloody hell... not good. They will recover look at VW (emissions)..
I guess they wanted to beat apple out of the blocks on the latest model refresh.. QA went to shite there..
It will be interesting to watch the spin (no pun intended) how large corporations get out of such catastrophic event is an excellent insight into how much BS people will swallow |

"PR disaster, of course, and I'm sure many heads will roll...
But has anyone suffered as a result of one of these?
Burns, lost ears, child with half its head missing...?
"
Exactly no, and most cases they haven't proven because the phone just so happened to be completely destroyed. Think lots of it is chancers going for compo.
Also no one seems to care that 5 iPhone 7s have now exploded too. |

I was just wondering what the hell they possibly did so wrong with this latest phone to make it explode when their previous editions have, well, not exploded.  |

"I have one and it won't be going anywhere! It's the best phone I've used. If they want it they can prise it out of my hands, once it's blown up obviously! "
well our local hospital has now told staff and patients if they have one it has to be removed from the premises.....
its going to make for an interesting upcomming episode of "24hrs in A&E" |

Bigger battery in a small package. The phone is smaller than an iPhone 7 plus yet has a bigger screen. It leaves no room for th battery to expand during charging as they all do and all that energy been squashed needs someway to escape so boom! |

I get the mechanics of it, I just mean how could they fuck up so bad? It's not like they don't know how to make a working phone. |

They must have added an 'explode' app.
Seems dangerous to me. |

Rush job. Trying to beat the iPhone to release and didn't do enough testing. Greed is a terrible thing. |

Cool! Look forward to it, oh that's right! Not a single new case has been proven to be a new handset yet (I have a new one) so you know what, I'll avoid the scaremongering for the time been. |

actually....sorry to say that's not quite true....
they originally thought it was a problem with a particular firms batteries.... so when they recalled them all, they actually changed battery suppliers!!!! and the same this has now happened in a dozen new changed phones
on a serious note, if anything happens to you and the phone is found to be at fault, any insurance is going to be negated... i.e house, home or health insurance...

And ignore Samsung's own warning not to use the replacement phone? OkeyDoke. Good luck! |

Because they made their own bed with the earlier recall. Should have done an apple and brush it under the carpet and ignore it, there has already been a few cases of exploding iPhone 7s but by not creating a story out of it no one seems to care. |

They never got them all back though and the phones still haven't been off for investigation to see if they are actually new ones. At the moment it's just a claim. |

They won't need to pry it as there will just be a stump where your hand used to be! |

That's because Samsung actually care about their customers (that and massive law suits) unlike the fruit branded phone, remember your holding it wrong?! |

There have been many cases of iPhones also catching fire. A young man in Japan was severely injured as it was in his pocket at the time. It seems like the Galaxy is when it charges while iPhones randomly happen. Apple just has better PR. |

that may be true... but if samsung are saying "do not use and hand it back"... unless you are keeping it for "antiques roadshow" purposes... you should really go with what the company are advising... |

Err, they care about their bottom line. They have told you not to use it. If you wish to continue using it, fine. You have been made aware of the risks and are adult enough to make an informed decision. |

Then, as an electrical engineer, feel free to ignore the manuacturer's public statement.
"We recently readjusted the production volume for thorough investigation and quality control, but putting consumer safety as top priority, we have reached a final decision to halt production of Galaxy Note 7s," the company said.
"For the benefit of consumers' safety, we stopped sales and exchanges of the Galaxy Note 7 and have consequently decided to stop production." |

Not saying otherwise. It's good they are open about it. Just pointing out it's not exclusive to Samsung but, as we said, at least they own up. |

Let me sum it up in simple terms.
Manufactuter: Recall. It is dangerous.
Electrical engineer: Naw, I like it.
I am not sure how I could put it in simpler terms. |

Cool! Look forward to it, oh that's right! Not a single new case has been proven to be a new handset yet (I have a new one) so you know what, I'll avoid the scaremongering for the time been.
actually....sorry to say that's not quite true....
they originally thought it was a problem with a particular firms batteries.... so when they recalled them all, they actually changed battery suppliers!!!! and the same this has now happened in a dozen new changed phones
on a serious note, if anything happens to you and the phone is found to be at fault, any insurance is going to be negated... i.e house, home or health insurance...
They never got them all back though and the phones still haven't been off for investigation to see if they are actually new ones. At the moment it's just a claim.
It is a claim confirmed by Samsung's public warning not to use them.
That's because Samsung actually care about their customers (that and massive law suits) unlike the fruit branded phone, remember your holding it wrong?!
Err, they care about their bottom line. They have told you not to use it. If you wish to continue using it, fine. You have been made aware of the risks and are adult enough to make an informed decision.
Exactly and as an electrical engineer I know what I'm looking for and what to do to reduce the stress on the battery. I've never had a phone this cool when charging which in itself is a very good sign.
Then, as an electrical engineer, feel free to ignore the manuacturer's public statement.
"We recently readjusted the production volume for thorough investigation and quality control, but putting consumer safety as top priority, we have reached a final decision to halt production of Galaxy Note 7s," the company said.
"For the benefit of consumers' safety, we stopped sales and exchanges of the Galaxy Note 7 and have consequently decided to stop production."
I will. If we listened to everything that was bad we wouldn't be on this site! Lol
Good on you. Though I do hope that in your professional role as an electrical engineer, you do take rather more heed of a manufacturer's recall notice.
Ask the installer, that's his risk.
Erm, no. It is the user who is most at risk.
Don't disagree but as an electrical consultant I don't install and recalls are handles by the fm guys and main contractors.
Let me sum it up in simple terms.
Manufactuter: Recall. It is dangerous.
Electrical engineer: Naw, I like it.
I am not sure how I could put it in simpler terms."
Maybe like this:
Manufacturer: shit scared of law suits whether correct or not to do it, that and they have to cover the people not in the know.
Electrical engineer: actually understands the problem and how to deal with it. |

I could understand this being a problem if they'd been using Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries - those can be very explodey (to the point of removing bodyparts and incinerating your house)... but Lithium Ion has been used safely, for years.

Firstly deactivate the fast charge function. Do not leave the phone on charge past 100% and always in the day, and if you drop the phone then do not charge it past 50% for a little while. All these will help.
Also worthwhile installing one of the many temp monitors in the app store, if your phone goes too hot then take it back.
Just remember this happens to phones every day from every manufacturer. It is nothing new at all it's just a shame the bad press is got because and this is no messing about, it's the best mobile phone ever made. |

Or just take the dangerous fucker back before it explodes, as per Samsung's recommendation? |

Well it has and hasn't. Remember the dreamliner issue, remember the dozens of exploding iPhone 6's. There's hundreds of cases of laptops going boom on airplanes for years. A battery is very susceptible to the slightest knock, if the cells take any damage it can become a very volatile thing. |

There's obviously a vacancy for you at Samsung then |

not far from iceland,,,,,, tescos is nearer though :-) (near leeds) |
The firm has taken responsibility for its (or a contractors) fuck up... I've more confidence in manufacturers who do this than others who don't ...
Toyota recalled cars, Samsung has recalled phones...both suffered sales and a shi
t storm of bad publicity..I'm sure they'll be more rigourous testing before launch again.
Given the American whirlpool infernos (aka tumble dryers) no recall  you can purchase a replacement though..
VAGs still haven't sorted their emissions issues .. seems to me doing the right thing is bad these days..doing nothing goes virtually unreported.
I'd give Samsung a big  's up for doing what's right not what's best for them.
other companies should take.. note..(cos Samsung has loads to throw away)-D  |

"Just thank God Samsung don't make dildos'!!"
Your safe with dildos no moving parts or power requirenents . Its vibrators you have to worry about. Samsung vibrators would have a lithium battery adapted from their phones and speed controller from their washing machines. Might even be a hands free option and a camera at the top end. |

"PR disaster, of course, and I'm sure many heads will roll...
But has anyone suffered as a result of one of these?
Burns, lost ears, child with half its head missing...?
if someone has "lost an ear" what were they holding the phone with! a pair of oven gloves?"
.
That's crazy talk.... Surely Nobody talks on phones anymore |

"I was just wondering what the hell they possibly did so wrong with this latest phone to make it explode when their previous editions have, well, not exploded.
Bigger battery in a small package. The phone is smaller than an iPhone 7 plus yet has a bigger screen. It leaves no room for th battery to expand during charging as they all do and all that energy been squashed needs someway to escape so boom!
I get the mechanics of it, I just mean how could they fuck up so bad? It's not like they don't know how to make a working phone."
Something so perfect and not so perfect a major embarrisement I would think all these phones have big screens anyway I,m surprised its taken this long for one to explode... |
