So How Many Of You Are Currently Using Your Note 7

[daviddcmd]

I am debating whether to just put it back in the box and go back to my Nokia 1020 in the interim. I have turned off fast charging and only use wireless charging but wonder if I should sleep with one eye open, thoughts?

If you have a spare phone I'd be safe and use it until you have a replacement Note 7.

Contact Samsung and tell them that it's your only phone and that you notice it's getting hot. That might help them expedite your exchange.

I turned mine in yesterday. Since I had a viable backup and don't feel I'm losing too much going back to my Note 4 (actually regained use of some of my Micro-USB devices), I'm fine with waiting until Samsung figures things out. Although, I can't help wonder if they're going to re-use some of the 2 million+ Note 7 returns and try to issue them out as "new", so I may steer clear of the entire Note 7 line for now. And who knows, I may wait for the Note 8 (something tells me it'll have a removable battery).

I'm still using mine. Knock on wood still running great

I only charge mine wirelessly, and it has never gotten warm. So far, so good: but I'm still anxious to get this swapped out so there is no imminent threat to life, property and (most importantly) data

 

[stang9779]

I wireless fast charge with samsung charging stand.

 

[MannyrtFresh]

Yeah I'm still using mine and plan to keep using it.

Mine would still get a little warm with the Samsung fast charging wireless charger.

Mine doesn't even get warm even in fast charge. So I'm still using mine as normal.. But I do have an exchange booked just to be safe.

 

[WeeWilly]

It's my only phone so I'm still using it. I'm using the wireless charger and the phone doesn't get warm in normal usage. Still, I hope T-Mobile gets the new phones soon so that I can exchange mine.

 

[jadmorffier]

I wasnt going to exchange mine but I cracked the front screen so I'm gonna replace it now lol

I'm gonna hand it in today.

 

[Ag76]

That's what I'm thinking.

Wireless fast charging mine now. Waiting to exchange it next week.

 

[durandetto]

Still using mine as I can't see going back to the g3 or s5. I downloeaded gsam battery monitor and set an alarm for my battery when it goes over 100 degrees or over voltage. I turned off wireless fast charging, because that's how I charge overnight. I'm just hoping sprint gets the new ones soon.

However I'm really enjoying using this phone without a screen cover. It's gonna be hard going back to the crappy wet application screen covers.

 

[durandetto]

Also still no visible scrathes on my screen and I work in a pretty harsh environment. So, all this easily scratched screen hysteria is a little overhyped.

 

[PrinceOfDorne]

Still using mine. No unusual heating experienced. Doing great so far.

 

[jadmorffier]

Just handed mine in. They gave me an S7 Edge to use in the interim.

 

[Preach2k]

I am still using mine. No issues.

 

[Jtraynor1987]

Still using mine. Love it just as much as I did when I first got it

You should load an Avatar with a selfie pic showing your fashionably charred ears.

Well now... this will complicate things BIG TIME!

So anyone still using their Note 7 after September 30th is subject to remote deactivation! Nice, Samsung. What if this recall goes into overtime? What if it takes MONTHS to fix all this? If Sammy starts shutting down our phones remotely, they're gonna take a public relations PUMMELING.

I'm still using mine, it grills great burgers! [emoji106][emoji4]

This is not true. It was proven not true it was taken from Reddit and not from a trusted source.

 

[The_Chief]

Well, THAT's a relief!

LMAO!

Samsung is going to cash in when they get all of the defective phones back. They'll be repackaging and selling them as the High Tech -Ultra Compact George Foreman grille.
