This is hilarious...just a sticker on the box. Won't deter people just to take the sticker off and put it on an "explosive" box and then sell it. Worse yet...it seems real easy to counterfeit. Wish they would just mark the phone case with an "S" or "R" or something. Better keep your boxes if you plan on ever reselling it!

It's sticker and black mark bottom right of barcode sticker. You cant fake it with that black dot. Also you can check Samsung database once the tool comes out.

I don't think it's really that hard to slap a sticker and stamp a black square on an existing label though if you had the inclination. I seriously doubt the majority of buyers would even care look at the Samsung database when the tool does come out though.
The best thing to do for now is to ban the sale of Note 7s on any trading site like eBay, Swappa, Gazelle, etc. I would go even farther and collaborate with GSMA to deactivate all Note 7s that do not have IMEIs consistent with the fixed phones like they do with stolen phones. This will help insure that these phone can be taken off the market quickly and dealt with and further reduce risk of potential injuries and property damage.
Looks like Samsung listened to me

Interesting, but can Samsung really deactivate phones. Would that not be up to individual carries?

Just like stolen phones...just notify GSMA with a list of defective IMEIs and boom...no service. You can still use them as wifi devices though i think.
They can also brick the device remotely.

I'm assuming there isn't any real change as far as hardware is concerned (other than the battery, of course)?
Several airlines around the world and the FAA have said you shouldn't use the Note 7 on a plane or have it turned on or put it in your checked luggage. Generally I would say it is improbable that anyone would actually recognize that you have a Note 7 when you attempt to fly but I would like some way to prove to them that it is a new Note 7 - replaced - no longer any more likely to burn someone than my laptop. Do we have a clue how we will prove it is a 'safe' Note 7?

Don't know how this question is relevant to the thread. But I was approved a couple of days ago for a new Gear VR as part of the current Samsung promotions by purchasing a loaner S7 from the VZW store a week after returning the Note 7 for a refund.
At the time of the S7 purchase, they assured me I can return it for the new replacement Note 7 when they come in starting the 21st. In any case it doesn't really matter as I'd still be within my 14-day return window to do whatever I want anyway.

Because the link referenced the Samsung page where a gear VR was also included in the exchange process.
"The package will include a brand-new Note 7, the new version of the Samsung Gear VR, and a prepaid package to send the defective device back so you won’t have to pay for shipping costs. On top of that, if you participate in the Galaxy Note 7 Exchange Program, you will be receiving a $25 gift card, in-store credit, or bill credit from your carrier."

The paragraph beforehand pointed to a reddit link which talked about how the recall was being handled in France, not the USA. And the paragraph you quoted was a description of that recall process. It still isn't relevant to how you can tell the difference between an explosive vs. a safe device as the first part of the article does.

The phone itself is identical on the outside. There's no way to tell them apart physically. The box has a black square on the barcode panel, and the printing on the panel is sharper and thinner, while the original box printing is thick and bold.
The new phone immediately downloaded an update as soon as it was activated which changed the battery icon to green on the status bar, power menu and always-on screen.
That's it.

Haha yeah, read a lot about their shipping times. I ordered a really geeky t-shirt once from them (the LEDs-lighting-up-in-response-to-sound shirt) and they sent it well after I'd forgotten about it (must have been more than a month).
Yup.. so buying from them, price is good if you don't mind waiting a while.

They said yes, but I would like to see if other people could call in if they have time and see what they hear. I don't know if I was wording it correctly or not, but the lady kept saying "yes all our phones have 1 year warranty". Got about 12 more hours to decide haha

I ordered a Nexus S a month or two ago and its working fine with no problems. The Nexus S came brand new like described with everything still wrapped. The one problem I had was their shipping was extremely slow. I had to email them, but they replied next day with tracking. If I had the money, I would get it.

Don't take their word for it. Call Samsung and ask.
Does anyone know what their return policy is? The link on the site just redirects to the main page. I want to know if something else comes up during the month that I wait for shipping if I can cancel or send it back when it arrives.

I will say.. no returns at all unless the product was defective. I had to deal with return for a Jawbone Icon I bought a while ago, not sure was it this site, but it was one of those deal site that ships from NY... It was defective, took a few days to RMA, otherwise, there should be no return for any product purchased from those sites from my experience.

Autoprime's light hearted post was obviously not serious! but why are these questions asked here on XDA any way?
There's a lesson here from LG, like HTC before them, to wait at least a month after release day next time.

Sweet. Looks like I'm really going to get a G4 for my birthday.
That dark brown leather back is beautiful. I want it.
A little off-topic, I'm thinking on getting g 4 and the offer made me compare prices between the US and Poland, where I live. The promo offer is cheaper than getting the phone alone in Poland by 60$. I went a little further, in Germany they don't have the offer either, the price is still lower than in Poland. Comparing the three countries' avg salary, we earn the least and pay the most(on this particular device).

I'll send you my phone with a brown T-Mobile leather back... you root it and send just the phone back. Keep the leather and the battery. Deal?
I don't like the new leather design for the orange leather. Now all 5 covers are same texture, when upon release the color defined the different texture.

So last night I ordered my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge directly from the Samsung UK website and nowhere did I see it mention the free VR that everyone else is getting.
I placed my order anyway and decided to give Samsung UK a call to find out why. It turns out that only carriers are offering the VR on contracts and not on SIM Free purchases direct from Samsung, despite what was said in the keynote. The support staff told me that they had lots of people calling to complain about this and have started an internal petition on behalf of their users, the more people that call the bigger the list.
If you want any chance of getting a VR like everyone else I would give them a call and complain. It's worth a shot.
The number for support is: 0330 726 7467
The Galaxy S7 Edge is actually even more expensive in the U.K. than the rest of the E.U. (thanks to some shady Euro > Pound conversion). 639.00 GBP = 818.902 EUR vs €799 in continental europe.
There is no white version in the UK for some reason either, as opposed to countries within the Eurozone.
I have just ordered two S7 Edges on Vodafone and ensured I got a headset with each phone. I'll sell one of them to make £50 back as the other phone is for the wife.
Pretty crappy of Samsung not to provide the headset when you buy direct. I wouldn't be at all happy about that.
Thanks very much for posting this. Just called them and added my name to their "internal poll".
As you said, the more that call, the more chance this will happen.
Other details I got from them were:
- The UK region is only scheduled to get Gold or Black for now
- The UK region is only scheduled to get a 32GB model
No polls for either of those, seems like quite a "set" thing.
EE still have nothing about the gear vr on their website? i
I ordered through chitter chatter and they are giving a 64 gb micro sd card instead.
Ill give that samsung number a ring and see . THanks
A Samsung employee posted on another thread that when pre ordering, sim free phones aren't eligible, only those on contracts.
See that really wouldn't bother me if they said that at the keynote. What they did say was "preorders in the US & special countries" then later stating Europe. As the UK is in Europe and I preordered at the right time I assumed I ticked all the boxes. Instead all we get is a lousy rugby pen.....I hate rugby haha so that's just salt in the wound.

Just a follow up, I called support asking whether the VR would show on the order and was told "we're not sure whether we're adding the VR as a separate order or onto existing ones" this explains why they're not showing on preorders.

Samsung UK is selling the S7 for 569 GBP, though which is exactly the same as 699 EUR.
On the other hand, we don't have a white option for the regular S7 here in Bulgaria and I think none of the markets have it in white, actually.
The S7 Edge, however, should come in white as well.
only voda and car phone warehhouse are giving the gear vr free so the whole free on all pre orders was just a lame marketing ploy to boost initial sales. As to the g5 I have a g4 at the minute and only the 815 international version has an unlockable bootloader unlock via lg only and bye bye warranty since the g4 has a hardware bug that is causing bootloop in the first batch devices I don't put much faith in lg for a substitute.G4 had bad overheating and touch screen issues for about 5 months till lg patched it out.

I got my S7 Edge (SIM free) and my Gear VR in two separate order numbers/delivery emails from CPW.
Any decent pre order deals in the UK?
So there have been announcement from Samsung related to stopping the production of the Note 7, but I have not seen anything official calling for a recall.
Has the CPSC launched an official recall?
Has Samsung said anything more than that we should stop using the device and return it if we can?
I am holding out for the official recall, as of right now Samsung is not even offering a bill credit for returning the device. The first go around they offered $25. I went to AT&T yesterday and they said they would take the device back, but there would not be another bill credit.
Just curious if there has been an official recall or process for receiving a refund for the device. I figured we could also use this thread as a place to track the options once the recall is made official.
Not official but att and as far as I know all other carriers take it back no questions asked.
They added original and replacement devices to the http://www.samsung.com/us/note7recall/ so I would assume both returns will prompt a 25 credit by the carrier or third party gift card.

from what ATT told me.... that to get the 25 credit, i had to chose another samsung phone to replace my note 7 I had returned, and also I had to eat the 20.00 upgrade fee too, ATT would`t refund that, only the first Next payment I had paid.
From ATT website:
Customers with a recalled Galaxy Note7 may select a Galaxy S7, Galaxy S7 edge, or Galaxy S7 active or any other smartphone, and may also return any Note7 accessories. If a customer chooses another Samsung device, he or she will receive a bill credit of $25 per device within 1-2 bill cycles.

Depends on who you get to talk to at AT&T. I got the $20 access charge waived from att for my replacement. This time I'm returning it and using my wife's iPhone 6+ until I get the iPhone 7+ 256gb I ordered. I think it's time for an OS change. I have never used an iPhone before so this will be fun.

I don't want an s7 edge had it the first recall and didn't like it only one that even close is the. LG V20 but doesn't come out till the 24th or so…… so I'm just at a loss on what to do.

Seeing as there isn't anything out that I feel compares to the Note7 I bought a used nexus6. Had one before and liked being able to root and rom it to make it the way I want. It will work till something else comes out.

yeah I`m think about getting OP3 again, I had one right before I bought the Note7 and really liked it so that`s probably were I`ll go back too. when ever OP get them back in stock.
I think im just going to keep using my N5. If rumors are true the S8 should be good (if it doesn't explode lol) and they are going to bump up the release date to Feb next year. Ill tell you this much though, its going to have to be amazing and Samsung better offer a deal to those of us that had to deal with this n7 fiasco.
If not this is the last Samsung ill use/buy

Gave mine up to Att today. Back on my OP3. I actually liked the note 7 too. Usually a nexus guy.
I actually haven't received a text from ATT about returning my note 7 like I did the first time.

Haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure it'll follow sometime today
Ok so many different forums started... I'm leaving my rant here.. Haven't read all these and I'm not...I'm on phone right now with Verizon as I'm writing this... I ordered the s7 edge to replace my note 7. She said
(1)Samsung is going to send out an update to disable our notes.
(2) when you trade in your device your locked into a 2 year contract. The 1 year upgrade Samsung doesn't apply to us.. She said that it only applied to new devices... She said that the note 7 is being played add if it never existed. So I asked well my phone is cracked on the back I can go through insurance and get a s7 and keep my upgrade. She said no assurion is acting like the phone doesn't exist also.. What about the money I paid into the insurance.. She said today should be refunded also back to you.
So in saying this. Buy the phone you want for the next 2 years, make sure the refund you also your insurance money. I don't know what I'm going to do or get now... As I told her if the phone never existed I would still have my note 4.. Not locked into a 2 year contract for a inferior phone

That's why Verizon and Samsung can kiss my ass. I'm not downgrading to make them happy. I'll take. My chances. Something happens, I'll buy a Note 4. Screw them. The Verizon people are clueless idiots anyway. You ask 10 of them, you get 10 different answers.
Call back, you will get a different answer. If you don't like that one, go to Chat and get a different one again.
Like this one. "There will be no further updates to the Note 7" then.... "Samsung will send an Update to disable all Note 7's".
heh heh heh....

If you block updates then this isn't an issue but the carriers may disable the IME#. Normally if an IME is disabled the phone doesn't immediately stop working, it can just no longer be activated.
Ha, well I've been ignoring the green battery update for a while now, and I'll continue to ignore it. I cancelled my order for the S7 Edge even though the clueless Verizon tech told me that upgrade wouldn't be held against me and I'd still be able to upgrade anytime if something I like comes out. I'm not green enough to fall for that one Big Red! Taking my chances also, until the next Note drops or something similar.

Yep. If an IMEI is blocked your phone gets "suspended". It's like you didn't pay your bill. This is a bad situation for every Note 7 user out there... Very disappointed but hopefull for a killer lineup next year

Killer line up that I'm not eligible for until the year after lol

Is there a deadline to return the note 7 and get your money back? I'd like to keep it until the s8 or new note comes out but worried they will charge me in full for it.
I just got done discussing the whole deal with a manager. Told me that all Notes must be returned or we'll see a charge for the full amount in our next bill. Take it for what it's worth. I wouldn't put anything past these a$$ clowns.

Wow, my bill is due tomorrow. Better start saving.

Like we've been saying talk to 10 different reps, get 10 different answers. I'm not sure they can do that, if you haven't broken anything. Recall or not.

Hey, it's something. But I don't recall anyone's data catching fire. Besides, the real injuries were suffered having to deal with the phone swap....twice. But looking on the bright side I suppose $2.67 is nuthin' to sneeze at. That is, for the lawyers because they can multiply it by 2 million.
I actually called them, to get in on it lol...But waiting to hear back from them to see if they can put in an addendum to add the carriers. About locking is into another 2 year contract.. Now if that could be achieved it would be worth it

Hope it works out for you. I know there will be other lawsuits in the future. One's that may yield a bigger settlement to us users.
It's pretty typical for members of a class action suit to have to agree not to hold Samsung accountable in the future when the suit is settled. This mean any subsequent suits are not able to be brought by the members that signed on to the last one.
Oh I'm not signing up to be in lawsuit.. Just wanting to give more ammo..I mean you're right..About more lawsuits, but the next one and the one after that will use the info from the previous litigation I assume
Sent from my SM-G935V using Tapatalk
If Verizon tries to charge me for a device they willingly erased all charges for they be facing a class action lawsuit. This recall is also voluntary. Samsung had to put the recall out, but we don't have to participate. Verizon just wants us to, to clean things up on their end. I don't foresee them being allowed to charge us for something they dismissed. People don't participate in recalls all the time. They don't repossess or pull car notes if the owner doesn't participate.
Where does it say in the text message from Verizon that this is voluntary.. Everything I see from Verizon said this is mandatory..ok I'm wrong. Samsung is saying it's a voluntary recall, but if you call Verizon they say it's mandatory... And they will be turning off phones.

I used up a lot of my minutes and went over my minutes trying to get this whole thing handled, so I asked verizon for an refund and the refund was provided. Very easy.
