Why are people still using it when it's a known problem with the device and its been recalled.

 

[BigDug13]

I was expecting explosion. Not smoking phone on the ground doing nothing but smoke.

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

Obviously user error.

You say that like it's normal.

Were talking about millions of people. Not everyone knows.

The audience that reads tech blogs is very small. And people ignore emails and texts.

To be fair, Samsung did a terrible job with this mess.

 

[Nugg]

It's not normal. But it's not an explosion.

 

[Dolla Dolla]

A guy I work with refuses to take his back. He has the second one that was supposedly fixed, but I told him they stopped making the phone and it was recalled. I warned him to at least not keep it anywhere he didn't want burned :-(

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Lol at people thinking they should explode. The smoke you see is burning mold compound and LiON battery.

It's not normal but I also wouldn't but the word "explosion" in the thread title either.

I'm not saying they should explode. I'm just saying don't call what it is doing an "explosion".

 

[ponpo]

Should probably get away from that smoke. Unless....

 

[Trojan X]

Man. A replacement battery too.

 

[pretty done]

Lol at people thinking thread titles accurately portray their contents?

"Samsung Note 7 explosion" is literally in the title.

 

[JrBaconCheeseburger]

Explosion w/video

 

[Breads]

It's not normal. But it's not an explosion.

Did you think the issue was phones turning into grenades.

Because it isn't that either.

 

[Stinkles]

That looks like it smells crazy delicious.

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

Hey check out this gif of a man exploding.

 

[Maz]

The "I'm special and it's not going to happen to me" mentality. I see it a lot, speeding and not wearing a seat belt is very common belief here.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

Methinks this is post explosion, so the video is of the phone that exploded but does not depict the explosion itself.

 

[ntropy]

why are they in the room breathing that shit in?

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

When does it explode?

 

[Ric Flair]

why are they in the room breathing that shit in?

Most people I imagine wouldn't know the difference between burning metals and burning wood fire

The story has gone way beyond niche tech blogs. It's all over the news/tv/radio. Even my 76 yo grandpa is aware of it.

It's not like this is only reported in tech blogs. Every major newspaper and tv station reported this multiple times already.

Why are people still using it when it's a known problem with the device and its been recalled.

Well, I went to T-Mobile to exchange and they weren't sure what to do yet. They even had me on the phone with someone in that department and they just apologized for not having anything in place yet.

To be fair, Samsung did a terrible job with this mess.

Quite the opposite. Considering having to get into contact with these, doing research, not finding a problem, and just seizeing manufacturing to keep people safe, I'd say they are doing everything possible.

Do you have a Note 7? My phone is constantly bombarded with warnings, etc.

I even read a recent article from workers in Vietnam saying Samsung treats them well with amazing benefits and will be keeping the workforce despite this, and that their other manufacturing does well so this won't do much long-term.

People are quick to talk down to Samsung, but this is an example of a corporation trying to do right, and that needs to highlighted.

That dude looks like he's chain exploding.

Can't you just get a cash refund?

There's no way I'm walking around with that thing in my pocket, or charging it while I sleep.

 

[Nugg]

No, I'm just saying the title of the thread is an inaccurate clickbait

 

[pyros]

Is it common knowledge that note 7 hp are banned on all flights in the US , didn't see a thread

 

[theaface]

Maybe the phone had just received a coded message from the IMF?

 

[Moodz]

Damn I thought it only happened while charging. Scary!

 

[cyberheater]

A guy I work with refuses to take his back. He has the second one that was supposedly fixed, but I told him they stopped making the phone and it was recalled. I warned him to at least not keep it anywhere he didn't want burned :-(

I would report him as a health and safety issue. No joke.

 

[DudeWithNoName]

Exactly. 100% of Note 7 users are aware of this. Like a person who drops $700 on a Note aomehow hermits out and hasnt heard about this.

 

[Transistor]

Finally had a chance to trade mine in today. Traded it for a shitty Coolpad Catalyst that will hold me over until my OnePlus 3 gets here

Anyone who keeps this phone instead of getting rid of it is being stupid, plain and simple.

You are still using your phone????

[Colonel Nasty]

My fiancé said there was a Facebook live video last night of somebody with their note 7 plugged in with the jeopardy decision theme playing on loop. 30k people were watching

 

[Bsigg12]

Why are people still using it when it's a known problem with the device and its been recalled.

I don't have another phone and I'm waiting for Verizon to deliver my new phone as well as the fireproof box.

Also, anyone that has the phone has received notifications from Samsung saying the phone has been recalled and Verizon is sending text messages to you if it's set as your active phone.

 

[JonnyDBrit]

I need to contact NASA because my sides are in orbit.

This isn't on just tech blogs. Every major news outlet is covering this story and carriers are sending text messages about the recall. There's really no excuse except ignorance and as we all know ignorance is a horrible excuse.

 

[diaspora]

Are there jabronis still saying that not everyone knows about the recall? Samsung and the carriers have been hammering the recall message to all of the Note 7s.

 

[prelude514]

Hey check out this gif of a man exploding.

You Sir, got a chuckle out of me.

 

[vio]

I expected something like this, you disappoint me OP.

 

[Knuckle Sandwich]

Oh fuck my phone's about to explode. Better film it really close up.

 

[whytemyke]

Would my phone be more likely to do that if I was posting sweet jifs on my Neogaf account?

Asking for a friend.

 

[Nugg]

"I sure hope those fumes aren't toxic or something!"

Samsung was slow to issue a recall and their communication during the fiasco wasn't great either. This is a perfect example of how not to handle a safety issue.

The other problem is that people are straight up fucking stupid. I've been on the Note 7 subreddit ever since the first recall to keep up with breaking news and people, to this day, are STILL trying to A: Keep their phone and B: Try and figure out how to keep from getting OTA updates so that Samsung can't remotely brick their phone. They all have a HUGE "It won't happen to me" mentality.
