Match book covers have fixed more sloppy fit stuff wtf

Engineering tear down of Samsung Galaxy Note 7 discover’s the Samsung design FLAW that explains why so many of this design phone overheated and/or caught fire and exploded.

These Lithium Ion batteries require a certain amount of expansion relief around them but Samsung did not allow any at all! This forced the battery to compress itself internally, damaging the layers so they would short together. Very bad engineering.

Ping for your lists. . .

Ooops.

Look at all the iphones that turn into roman candles as well

but the media refuses to report the truth

“It breaks such a basic rule, it must have been intentional,” says the Instrumental team

...

Sounds to me like something a committee of managers would do, overruling (or more likely, coercing) the engineers.

So, can we get our loser fitting replaceable batteries back? The note 4 was pretty much the perfect phone in this regard.

[Pearls Before Swine]

I am looking forward to the slightly thicker Note 8!

[ChinaGotTheGoodsOnClinton]

I think they are selling it. I keep seeing ads for it everywhere.

In fairness, the report that was created by the investigators at Instrumental did footnote the following (emphasis bolding mine):

Footnote: When batteries are charged and discharged, chemical processes cause the lithium to migrate and the battery will mechanically swell. Any battery engineer will tell you that it’s necessary to leave some percentage of ceiling above the battery, 10% is a rough rule-of-thumb, and over time the battery will expand into that space. Our two-month old unit had no ceiling: the battery and adhesive was 5.2 mm thick, resting in a 5.2 mm deep pocket. There should have been a 0.5 mm ceiling. This is what mechanical engineers call line-to-line -- and since it breaks such a basic rule, it must have been intentional. It is even possible that our unit was under pressure when we opened it.

[ThunderSleeps]

Hmm, but would it necessarily expand in that direction? If the layers swell, wouldn’t that push out on the back? I’d bet good money the expansion direction is related to how the cells are arranged.

I see crappy engineering everyday.
Come up with ECNs all the time.

Most engineering mistakes are in trying to make something all things to all people.
There are always trade offs.

I’ve had a S7 Edge for 2 months and absolutely love it for its’ performance, screen resolution and aesthetics!!!

In addition, Samsung’s chairman doesn’t falsely & blasphemously proclaim homosexuals are “God’s special people”. “Thimmy” is pure satanic evil.
