Disagree with that you described.

Samsung is simply being congenial and looking for things to use for damage control. They are confused now because they don’t know what to do.

Two weeks back Samsung issued a report that of the millions of Note 7s that were shipped, only 26 had been reported to overheat or explode and of those 26, the claims turned out to be fake or suspicious.

The airline incident was from a person known to be shady. And the phone in question was of a replacement phone with the ‘design flaw’ addressed.

Samsung would not put out a second series of phones without having thoroughly tested them. Their aim was to stop the damage to their brand.

Now they are confused and shaken but that’s only for now. When the story is fully investigated there will be hell to pay. Enough said.

Given what I know and WITNESSED regarding the effects of vandalism and corporate sabotage in two different locations and two different stores in relation to all Windows phone products on display and where Android and Apple phones in the same display area were untouched, I am not surprised to see a flagship product of Samsung, a product that had received stellar reviews, be attacked viciously, especially as its chief competitor is headed by a reprehensible progressive and as such, receives protection from all quarters.

Now there are media morons pushing a false ‘exploding’ washing machine mischaracterization. It is all too obvious what could be happening here.

That's a big fat lie, Hostage, as have most of your comments in this thread!

Samsung itself reported they had more than that to the CPSC! Why are you lying and making up facturds to protect your favored company when they've already admitted the problem to the government?

Just three weeks after the August 19th release date of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7, the number of overheating and exploded devices in the US alone was over 70, not counting the rest of the world. Including those in Canada, Korea, Australia, and the UK, it was approaching 200. Here's a report from EndGadget dated September 13th reporting the dire nature of the situation. YOU ARE MAKING UP YOUR CLAIMS!

Over 70 Galaxy Note 7 phones have overheated in the US alone
By Mariella Moon — EndGadget — 09.13.16
When Samsung first issued an official statement about the Galaxy Note 7's battery issue, the company said there were 35 cases of phones overheating from around the globe. Well, we're way past that number now. According to the Canadian government, the company has received over 70 reports in the US alone. See, Samsung teamed up with Health Canada to help it get the recall ball rolling in the country. In an effort to convince consumers to return their shiny new phones that might suddenly explode, the government agency added that tidbit in the report.
Those 70-plus cases include a few high-profile ones you may have seen in the news lately. A man in Florida said his Jeep Cherokee went up in flames after a Note 7 exploded inside, while a six-year-old boy from Brooklyn suffered burns when a Note 7 blew up in his hands. Although 70 cases may not seem like that many, the Consumer Product Safety Commission already issued an official warning asking people to stop using the device. Various airlines all over the globe also banned passengers from using the phone on their planes.

Two days later, it was up to 92 in the US with 26 actual injuries to individuals and 55 with property damage which had been reported to the US Government's Consumer Product Safety Commission, at which point the CPSC made the recall official and mandatory . These are FACTS, easily checked, but you apparently prefer to obfuscate and lie.

You post links to stories planted by Samsung from before the Sh!t hit the fan on the Note 7, such as your first link from September 9th, claiming the "Exploding Note 7 stories are fake!" but we all know now they are NOT.

I will grant you that there may be some frauds trying to claim fires where there were none, but that is not the majority of the cases as YOU are trying to imply. Your other links certainly do not make that case. Give it up.

The airline incident was from a person known to be shady. And the phone in question was of a replacement phone with the ‘design flaw’ addressed.

Excuse me? Where is your proof of that? The incident was well documented including an investigation by Southwest Airlines and the NTSB and the FAA. There are photographs of the phone on the floor of the aircraft:

and there was damage done to the carpet where the phone was thrown when it started burning before being kicked out on the aisle of the aircraft (above photo) on the aircraft.

According to Green, he “powered down the phone” when he entered the plane and placed it in his pocket, which is when it began to smoke. He dropped it onto the floor of the plane and saw a “thick grey-green angry smoke” emanating from the device. The phone later burned through the carpet and subfloor of the plane, which a friend of Green’s observed when he returned to retrieve some personal items, The Verge added.

The friend kicked it away from the damaged area and took a photo of the too-hot-to-touch phone in the aisle of the plane (above photo).

This was NOT just a claim by an individual. I've seen the video recordings of the news interviews of the individual, the airline cabin attendants, and passengers around him, who witnessed the incident and who were evacuated from the plane! This happened. There was NOTHING "shady" about this family man who was on board with a friend, as I recall.

The phone had just been powered down per instructions of the cabin attendants when it started smoking! There have been at least SEVEN MORE SUCH INCIDENTS with replaced Samsung Galaxy Note 7s since this one. That is why Samsung stopped replacing the recalled ones with the so-called safe models and is now dropping the entire model! SHEESH!

Now you can keep dancing but you don't do it very well, toeing the line of Samsung's propaganda.
