This could be how they stay in business even after they lose their edge. They become patent trolls, and their best product is litigation.:-)

Not surprised. I used to have a Samsung cell phone myself, and it worked for 6 months than it died. The battery would be very, very warm. I have not bought another one ever since. Now I have an LG.

It’s difficulty to believe that a large, successful corporation like Samsung would not have tested a major new product extensively to detect a problem such as an overheating battery before product release. That’s not a newly discovered problem for cell phones.

“BTW, the S7/S7Edge has USB C connector with zero problems.”
Incorrect. It has the non-reversible cable that has been around for years; I own one.

I’ve heard a lot of good things about the Galaxy S7 Edge. Would have bought one myself if it weren’t so !@#$%^ big for a “regular” cellphone.

House Speaker Paul Ryan called an impromptu press conference and ran to the microphone to announce he never purchased a Galaxy Note 7 Smartphone, and that he does not support Samsung products.
When asked about this development, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said he had no comment and would remain silent on the issue.

I think they have been trying a little too hard to catch up with Apple. Their sales volume has been stagnating, and losing market share to low-end cheap smartphones, according to new reports. Between iPhones and low-end phones, they start to fear that they could be squeezed out.

Samsung has now been banned from our household. We are in the market for a new washing machine, and after reading about exploding Samsung washing machines, I do not want to take the risk.

I sense that the likes of Ryan and Romney harbor deep contempt on Trump, deeper than Dems. It is utterly “disgusting” to accept Trump as equals.
Dems hate Trump, too. Still, some of their operatives try to look into Trump phenomenon. GOPe? They won't even want to find out what went wrong. The mere though of it is “grossing them out.” Have you seen any so-called GOPe pundits who try to look into this problem seriously, except issuing one condemnation to another?

Exactly so. The GOPe are behaving like High School girls in a clique looking down on the girl who’s not “one of us”.

I have witnessed firsthand the effects of corporate sabotage on Microsoft Windows Phones on the same day in two different locations a half hour drive from each other. One was in Best Buy and one in Frys Electronics.
The sabotage was to the entire line of Windows phones while Apple and Android lines were untouched. The store staff in both places said they were experiencing vandalism.
Samsung investigated every reported case of batteries on fire and found them to be suspicious or fake.
I would not be surprised if a competitor was trying to take Samsung out of the race.
Samsung has been putting batteries into their phones for a long time now. It’s not like they don’t know what they’re doing.

However, the smart phone is their flagship product. Most of company's fat profit is said to come from this product. Are you talking about the Note line or the whole Galaxy line?
I recently bought the Galaxy S7 Edge, and it appears to be fine. They also have the S7 and S7 Active within the Galaxy product line.

Sounds like you bit past the bait and are being reeled in.
Some people believe everything they read on the internet. Sad.

Yes, it can't be ruled out, but the damage has been already done. There could be a major shake-up in Samsung’s corporate security. They used to have top notch in-house security, basically Samsung spooks, who looked into this kind of things.

When the FAA issued a warning about the Samsung Galaxy, I paid attention.
When Consumer Reports issued a report about Samsung washers, I noticed, and provided the Consumer Report in my previous post.
As a test engineer, I am disgusted that these two issues (exploding phones, exploding washing machines) are even happening to consumers. One incident, is one too many. There is clearly something wrong with the current crop of Samsung testing methodology, parts & manufacturing.
You are free to ignore. My thinking is, if Samsung is so cavalier about safety with their phones and their washing machines, what other products of theirs are tainted?

I am convinced this is industrial sabotage. Nothing else makes sense.
