Not sure if that would've avoided the battery issue with the Note.
It would have made the first recall a whole lot cheaper.

That forsure.  Questions that I still have

1. What exactly was changed with the recall?

2. Is it only the phones that have exploded that have defects? Or is every remaining note 7 a ticking time bomb?

Samsung thought it was a battery issue, but it seems that it's a phone design issue. They're all ticking time bombs.

Ah, ok.


For those of us that still have the note 7, when you wireless charge it it does not get hot.

Not sure about that, they would've sent out new batteries but then when they realize its not the issue with the battery itself they would've had to do a recall either way.

What's cheaper, sending out new batteries or newly produced phones with new batteries?

Just don't fly with me :P

Driving is a necessarily evil. Having a Note 7 over an S7 Edge or V20, not so much.
lol, very true.

I was not planning on returning my "safe" note 7.
Then the news came out that they won't let you fly with it, and I'm flying chol hamoed lax yyz. So now I have no choice.
I ordered a Pixel, will get here about 10/24, but will likely swap with wife for s7 for my trip...
What is everyone else changing to?
