Guys this is my two cents worth. Purchase your note 7 supplies like cases etc... at a discount price. Wait a few weeks and get the new fixed Note 7 most likely at a discounted price. If the note 7 never comes back then returned the goodies no problem.
I can't wait for my discounted Note 7 fully fixed
Good luck

Makes absolutely no sense.
Of course it does you think people are gojg to purchase note 7 full price after a massive recal for a major safety issue like going up in flames. No way some incentives are needed to get people back. You will see.
Makes no sense, this also goes to show whats wrong with this generation of entitlement. Samsung does not owe us any type of compensation for what has happened with the Note 7. Stuff happens. If they just so happen to feel generous then so be it but other than that be happy with your phone or go else ware.
hey, think, think, you really believe samsung is going to sell note 7 a the price of a second rate device? come on, be serious
We will see ......I like Samsung and I wiill get one no matter what, I have s Note 3 now but lets face Note 7 for the mass consumer its pretty much dead. It blows up dude that is not jst an antenna problem. It will take a pretty heavy dutty propaganda campaign to turn the tide on this one. Samsung will offer incentives how much its any ones guess but right now you can get cases etc for it at a pretty low price. Check Amazon.

The Note 7 recall could change how the public sees Samsung smartphones, and that is arguably the biggest challenge that the company is facing right now.
Read this ar another forum exactly my point.

I disagree.
They have put consumers in danger and for some caused injuries and damage. I would say that goes beyond "stuff happens".
For others whose devices have not exploded (like mine) it has certainly cause differing levels of stress and nervousness having the device not knowing if or when it will pop. Im a pretty chill guy but Id be lying if I said it didnt worry me at this point when i charge device. And this whole ordeal has changed how I use my device day to day which is not acceptable.
Then there is samsung asking for everyone to power down the devices and use what exactly in place of it? Not everyone is fortunate to have multiple devices lying around.
Then there is the train wreck of a recall...ive signed up for it and called numerous times and none of the CSRs knows anything and all give different answers which then causes more stress and uneasiness as you have no clue whats going on and clearly neither do they.
Oh and they expect us to drive and drop the defective devices off at drop points. Easy enough for some not for others...me personally im not lifting a finger to drop my old one off anywhere...i have better things to do. You want it...come and pick it up...you screwed it up in the first place.
Then theres the issue of going on an airplane with it...not even going to go there.
Oh yeah.. what about those of us who spent $50+ for ghost armour or similiar things front and back? Of course i have to pay for it AGAIN when i get my new device...whenever the hell that may be. Thats also not acceptable, samsung should be paying for it.
So yeah....your damn straight they owe us, the people who pre ordered and do so every single year and buy multiple samsung devices each year for many years all outright. And in the Note 7s case If I pay $1200 for a device i damn sure do not expect it to blow up in my face...literally
I am the least self entitled person and anyone here who knows me knows thats true but im this case yes I am expecting compensation from samsung for this major screw up.
Stuff happens this is true, but if it was that minor would the US and CAN governments be involved? Highly unlikely.

This will absolutely change the publics opinion and trust in samsung....to a massive degree.
Its not the recall thats going to cost them its the loss of trust from the public which equals lost current sales and future sales and in the long run market share. Their market share has already droppef and it will get worse before it gets better.
They will need to bend over backwards with incentives and freebees to get people back to where we were in buying samung products.
This goes well beyond mobile as well...dont think for a second this wont hurt their other areas of interest..TVs,appliances etc

For informational purpose only how come you paid 1200 dollars for your phone? In US is onky around 650 and hiw come you can't return it and get your money back? Here you can get your money back or get another phone.
I still think once they fix it it wil be cheaper to get one or there will be great incentives.
Time will tell i am waiting a month or two to upgrade to one once the problems are fix.

I believe the Note 7 its pretty much a done deal. Only people like us that really want the phone will purchase one. Main stream I believe the note 7 missed the station long time ago. On the other hand even died hards like us dont like to give our money away. I have been searching and I will consider something like the moto z force if the price of the Note 7 remains the same. Remember its on a no fly list and will take a while to be removed if ever. Note 7 its a tainted phone untill the day it dies. Its sad but in reality , the bad perception out there will not change.

There is something wrong with me.
I returned my galaxy note due to the fact that it wasn't as snappy as an S2 and i missed the huge selection of roms... and while I'm happy with the S2 overall (again).. i have found that nearly a month of using the note has shifted my priorities.
I now find myself missing the big screen size more than I thought I would.
Here's my dilemma.
I kind of want the note back. But I've done 2 reverse upgrades already (i'm indecisive as ****)
I got this S2 from walmart because the ATT store here didn't have the original S2 (lte market)
Will walmart let me do a reverse upgrade do you think?
and then would ATT still let me upgrade again?
Would you go back to the note if you were me?
I'm stupid. Feel free to make fun of me.

We all had the lag when it came out, but I'm oh SAUROM, overclocked etc and the Note is SUPER smooth! Not kidding, we're talking butter here...

you can.
i'd say get it from best buy if you have one near you. i'm biased (i work there selling phones) but i think it has great value.
typically you get someone who is more knowledgable (it varies, not everyone is a phone nerd)
you have the option to get a really good protection plan (no deductible, unlimited claims, water damage coverage, loaner phone, etc.)
and the option to get the buy back which will give you guaranteed $$ back when you trade in your phone w/in 2 years based on retail (its $60 normally, but if you have the protection plan for at least 1mo you get it half off, for $30. minimum you would get back is around your upgrade @ 20% of the RETAIL value which is $799.99)

Yeah, my girl owns the note. Since hers is the name on the account, she got the upgrade/re-up price. I was 3,000 miles away when she got em, so she's had hers a week more than I've had mine.
I admit I turned her onto the Note... I just couldn't stop blabbering about it compared to our Streaks. But she found the Streak not too long after it showed up at Best Buy, and after I went and abused one in the store, I gave the OK to go with the 5-inch candybar. We've had matching phones now for just over 2 years and she'll never be able to go to a smaller phone again.
It's a hoot at dinner parties when one of us takes out the phone (as it has been for a while) and someone, inevitably, comments; "My god, what is that? Is that a phone or a tablet?" Whichever of us had taken it out replies; "Yes, its both (Streak and Note... same difference for most people)" Then the person comes back with, "Wow, I've never seen anything like that before. That's almost too big, how can you use that? I doubt anyone could carry something that big. How do you carry it, does it even fit in your pocket?...." Then the other one of us will take out the other one. All conversation at the table stops. The inevitable iPhone comparison ensues.... 4 iPhones = (not really, but in screen real estate, close enough) 2 Notes. Pictures taken (if there are any phones left after the comparison laying of small useless phones on the big ones), jokes made... on both sides.... lol. "Wow that's so big" Me: "that's what she said" Her: "Why do you think I keep him around?" Them: "Are you compensating for something?" Me "What, both of us?" Them: "I'm not sure I could use something that size" Her: "Oh, I thought so too at first, but after a week or so I was used to it, and I could never have something smaller." Yeah, they are great icebreakers too... at anything from dinner parties to business meetings.

It is a conversation starter though - I've pulled it out standing in the back of an elevator with three people, and the guy standing in front actually came and stood next to me. Three guys shoulder to shoulder on the back wall of the elevator was pretty awkward.
The only other time I've ever had anyone stop me to ask about my phone was when I had the first generation iPhone [when it was still around $400 and not ubiquitous].
In the past three weeks of having the Note, I've been asked about it more times than ever with the iPhone.
This is why some people shouldn't have choices. Apple makes it easy for you... one new phone a year. No choices, no second guessing. And I can see why some people are happier with Apple for this very reason. But if you are going to be an Android user, you need to grow up a bit, make an informed decision, and be happy with it.
Then come to XDA and push that device as far as it can possibly go

Assuming that the accounts of the v2 fires are correct,
1) if you have a note 7, might as well keep it until you need the cash. I'm pretty certain that Samsung will discontinue the note 7 and try to buy back all the existing ones at full price. There wouldn't be a time limit to return it since it's owners right to keep it and if they decide to stop buying it back, it'll just look even worse when another one goes up in smokes. This means you have essentially a loaner/ beater phone at least until a phone you like better comes out. S8 might be only half a year from now. Regardless you should be careful especially if you don't have a v1. If you leave your phone in water when you're not using it, it should mitigate fires.
2) if you have a v1, you're better off since these only burn if you're charging. I think if you use the fast wireless charger, it'll be even more safe.
overall, I highly regret exchanging my v1 for a 2

I owned "v1" for 45 day (from Aug 17th to Oct 1st ), daily charge, no issue at all.
I own "v2" for 9 days now (from Oct 1st), still no issue with daily charge. not even slight warming.
I am not sure if my rational is valid, but once the device go through a dozen or so complete power cycle, there is properly nothing wrong with the battery , since it's a manufacturing defect, it should be caught early if it exist.
And I do believe it's a manufacturing defect as opposed to a defect by design, because if it was by design most likely there will be a lot more cases than a dozen out of millions.
If you are concerned about your device, I guess for now just disable the fast charging and only charge it to 80% or so.

Samsung Kills Off Galaxy Note 7 Smartphone...Sorry to say...So Long...Goodbye!
http://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/12/business/international/samsung-galaxy-note7-terminated.html?_r=0
Some real brilliant mouths out there are saying Sammy should kill the Note line all together..I think that's a bad mistake because that's Samsungs Flagship that battles the Iphone juggernaut and I will forever be pissed off if I cant have my Sammy Note device!
I do feel that this totally sucks ..I love the phone and have the V2
I have ordered the Pixel XL but it simply doesn't have the capabilities of the Note 7 so I am in a pickle I guess I can keep it till the G8 comes out but I sure hate to think Ill have to eat $928 in the long run and "YES" I was thinking while in bed late night....what if all of a sudden I smell smoke ??
For those of us that switched carriers and don't have a backup phone, this kind of leaves us in an inconvenient position. Samsung should at least give us a loaner phone until we decide the phone we want if they want us to return the note 7. For now, using the note 7 as a loaner device is more rational than returning it and buying a phone that we are not content with.
Also, make sure to not bring the Note 7 on the plane! That is one place that can have tragic consequences not worth the risk.
There will be some collectors and last few pieces will go for double the price

All these problems are only in USA
here in dubai my replacement works fine :fingers-crossed:
Heres my take on the situation. Samsung has NOT completed their investigation yet, and until they do, for all anyone knows, the devices were mistreated horribly by their users. Out of FOUR MILLION phones, only 35 explode, and of the replacement units only 7? Lets say the first generation was bad, and only count the replacements. 7 out of 4 million. That is a 0.000175% chance of your phone exploding. So, they discontinued the line for less than an even 1% chance, without waiting for the investigation to be completed? COME ON. A 0.000175 chance of a phone exploding is not enough to say that the 7 users who had problems... Didn't tamper with the phone in some horrible way: IE severe drop testing, severe underwater testing, etc. They arent even considering user error as a factor here.
I for one will not even be looking into returning mine until they announce the investigation is complete AND announce the results of said investigation.

2.5 million units sold.
35 reported cases when Samsung announced the first exchange. There could be more in between.
And the final nail was 6 cases in as many days, all replacement units in the US alone.
I am also very reluctant to return my Note 7. But Samsung themselevs can't figure out what's actually causing it to blow up. The incidents appear to be very spontaneous and random. Even when the unit is turned off or not charging.
I am also not sure if I should take the risk and keep it. I know, officially and legally, we've already been advised to shut it off and not use it. So any damages or injuries from here is purely at our own risk.
Samsung could continue with their investigations. Question is, if they finally figure out what went wrong, will they refurbish it and continue supporting the device for diehards like us? Or will they just take this lesson and apply it to the next model?
There is also a possibility that Samsung could release a firmware to cripple the phone entirely. They managed to limit the charging to 60/80%, they can do far worse.
Too many questions, so little answers.
The phone has been permanently discontinued now, and Samsung has to find a way to replace ALL Note 7s. So I guess this will be a run on the stores. Hopefully people can get other replacement devices, but I have no doubt there will be those that just wont give up the phone. Good luck on rolling the dice with your safety.

Mine's already on swappa. Will have to lower the price and accept trades at this point. I just want it gone this has been the worst experience of my life. Is it a great phone? Absolutely. But the lack of proper QA testing is a direct result of these issues.
I was hoping to do a trade for the pixel and that's not happening which is a shame

I was also tired of all the drama with the Note 7. I swapped my Note 7 for the s7 edge yesterday since the major carriers are letting you because of the phone exploding on the plane incident. So far so good, I think it's a lot smoother than the Note 7 just sucks not having the S-Pen but oh well.

I had the S7 Edge already, and I don't want to cough up more money for a phone that I already had and sold at a major loss.
Since I can't get behind the Pixel hype, it's time I go back to Apple. Samsung needs to reprioritize. I'm done getting screwed by them.
Check out the v20
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N930A using XDA-Developers mobile app
ultimately, I think the V20 is a nice phone. But certainly just cant touch the Note 7 in terms of overall features and quality. Its a tough decision. I would tell people to just get a dumb phone for cash and have them refund the difference. I mean, nothing attractive will be out between now and the next upgrade cycle I think.
Bad News Today it went Global Samsung is shutting down Note 7 for good, so everyone has to return there Note 7, so no OTA updates either.

I don't have a link, but I called at&t, and they have stopped all sales and exchanges, and many sources are reporting that Samsung has shut down manufacturing of the Note 7.

We all know that while they conduct their investigation. Doesn't mean global recall and note 7 will never see the light of day again.

A recall seems far more likely at this point than the thing going on sale to new customers. Ever since the recall was issued, new customers have not been able to buy one. And only for a little under 3 weeks have people been able to exchange their faulty ones for "safe" ones.
I'm unfortunately done with the Note 7. I tried every front to try to give Samsung my money. They just won't take it.

"Ever since the recall was issued, new customers have not been able to buy one." That's not true, I bought an AT&T N7 from Best Buy's online
store and received it last Tuesday.
I thought they resumed sales like over a week ago.
Here is the story from gsmarena.
http://m.gsmarena.com/count_of_fire...s_suspend_salessamsung_tempora-news-20972.php
Here is the latest from theverge
http://www.theverge.com/2016/10/9/13219878/samsung-galaxy-note-7-replacement-fire-fifth-statement
Samsung stated that they will move forward with whatever the cpsc recommends. Which most likely is going to be a full discontinue of the product and issuing similar product replacements or refunds for returned devices. I doubt they will be forced to do much more than that. And tbh they are a massive Corp, they won't give people more than probably a 20$ gift card for their troubles. They have no incentive I think to lose even more money.
What I'm curious about though is if they will begin remote wiping phones in order to get them all returned. It's pretty easy to do on their end. I doubt the CPSC will allow the devices to be out in the wild if it's determined a design flaw.
And btw all outlets have halted or have been instructed by the cpsc to halt sales of the Note 7. Some of them permanently like ATT.

Then you were one of the lucky ones. I haven't been able to from any site or store.
This sounds like a gossip site now smh.. Note 7 is in reduced production while investigating.. Not stopped.. & note 7 firmware is still getting developed. US sales are suspended till more clarity is made of the current events... Plz stop making a mountain out of mohill..... Now back to your regular scheduled programming
Directly from Samsung's Press/media website:
"We are working with relevant regulatory bodies to investigate the recently reported cases involving the Galaxy Note7. Because consumers’ safety remains our top priority, Samsung will ask all carrier and retail partners globally to stop sales and exchanges of the Galaxy Note7 while the investigation is taking place.
We remain committed to working diligently with appropriate regulatory authorities to take all necessary steps to resolve the situation. Consumers with either an original Galaxy Note7 or replacement Galaxy Note7 device should power down and stop using the device and take advantage of the remedies available."​
https://news.samsung.com/global/sam...note7-while-further-investigation-takes-place
So there you go. Even if production is supposedly not fully halted (at least the battery construction portion is for sure), you cant get the device anywhere. So it really doesnt matter. I do however think its entirely irresponsible to put yourself and your family members at risk with the device simply because you dont believe Samsung's "gossip". If you or your loved ones are injured by the device then its basically your own fault at this point. Whats further disturbing to me is that people are actually trying to circumvent the safety precaution update on ORIGINAL Note 7 devices?!? Like wtf?! Do you really want to have the thing blow up? Idk, I dont mean to be argumentative or dismissive in any way but I think its a bit ignorant to push aside the fact that there may be a design fault in the phone itself. Plus, Im sure most of us can swing $20-30 for a temp phone while this blows over. Of which an ATT rep - in store - told me they would refund the full value, along with all the accessories I bought for my Note.
http://news.samsung.com/us/2016/10/...lobal-stop-sale-and-exchange-of-galaxy-note7/
With the halt of production and carriers stopping to carry does this mean the resale value is up since you just wont be able to buy it anywhere? Will carriers still honor any recalls at any given time does this mean you can keep it for half a year and return it no questions asked since it is heading into a world wide recall ? A buyer basically has nothing to lose.. it is technically the best smartphone out and no screen display and camera is like it meaning people will always want it..
Problem is, why would anyone want to buy a ticking time bomb.
Our current device may work fine now but there's no telling when it will spontaneously combust.
It seems like Samsung is struggling to figure out what exactly is causing the Note 7 to blow up. And now they're lost for words.

There is also a distinct possibility that if they scratch the device completely they could disable all the ones still in use remotely.
They already crippled some of the V1 ones with a 60% battery charge cap and a big annoying warning that pops up every 3 hours who knows what might happen next?
Resale will be complete crap on these devcies...they note 7 has already been marked by one recall...another one? Forget it.
There would be a niche market for die hard sammy fans who likely would pay a premium for a device that your not supposed to have but that would be a very tiny amount of people

What are your plans ? Im pretty set with a jailbroken iPhone 7 plus .. its as close as you can get to a note 7
an email i received straight from samsung stated that it's actually illegal to re-distribute this phone.. So... No, a huge strikeout.
They referenced to the Canada firearms act or something like that.
I will never go Apple either. Their iOS is far too restrictive. An Android is like carrying a laptop around with you. In fact, I haven't used a Windows laptop or PC for a long time now.
The annoying thing now is, even if I kept the Note 7, I don't expect Samsung to release anymore updates. Hell, if anything, they will cripple it again, with the whole 60% charge nonsense. And at this stage, Nougat is almost definitely out of the question.
Unless Samsung finds a way to integrate the Note 7 features with the S7 Edge, I'd reconsider.
Sent from my SM-N930F using Tapatalk
No one will be buying the phone even if you give them for free. Who will want a phone that might explode. I am waiting to see what Telus does right now. Hopefully they will allow us to change to any model. But my bet is they will only let you change to a S7 Edge or S7. If they allow then i might go for iPhone for now. Can't really decide what to get.

Lol personally wasn't feeling the phone when I played with it. Maybe the one iplayed with was bad but it had this annoying rocking motion that was driving me crazy. Press down the home button... The phone will rock. Store user said I just have to touch it... That didn't work. If all iPhone 7 are like that will never buy that phone... That rocking motion was driving me crazy

At this point they need to do something big. Heavy discount on the future N8 or something like it but i dont think they will do anything special. They already lost a lot, they may just risk losing future business with hope people will return

Yeah I think they may do nothing as well, but if they have followed any other famous recalls, going above and beyond to keep customers effected by defective products happy, good a long way. Look at Toyota and Tylenol for passed cases.
If they do the right thing it will make the brand stronger. If they leave 2 million customers out to dry, they will feel the damage to their reputation for years, across multiple product lines not just phones.
If take a discount on an S7e or a future discount on a S8e or a Note8 just something to show they actually care to keep my business.
Yeah, they better do something cause this is embarrassing. To go through another recall... Shesh. The jokes are endless and it's becoming annoying to know that some devices are melting. Makes it uncomfortable to have this device, and I don't want to switch! This phone is too good.
Because I love the device SO much, I was not listening too much around the replacements having issues too, but THIS kind of did me in.
