Could the problem be fixed by swapping out the bad battery or it there something else which contributes to the problem.
If the battery could be changed and the firmware fixed, it could be a rare model in use but users would have to be surreptitious when it comes to air travel.
So, I am eating lunch in the lunchroom at work today when a co-worker runs in and says that there is smoke and a dangerous smell coming from my room which is near my server room and where my turned off Note 7 is laying on my desk. I run to my office and its NOT the Note 7 but our UNIX based server that runs our IP phone system. One of the power cables shorted and too out the BR drive. This note 7 has me on edge.
So i went to ATT today and well, they refused my BOGO deal on the note 7.
Basically they wanted me to pay full next retail price on 2 s7 edge, vs my buy one get one free note 7's.
I basically threaten to sue them for bait and switch because the phones are supposed to be a replacement.
Then i told them i want EVERYTHING reversed my entire account to the way it was before i got the notes and i would return them for a full refund.
The store said they can not do that and would need permission from home office so the manager basically requested assistance and i am waiting for ATT to call me back.
But yeah i am not happy with ATT at the moment.
Either they will do the same deal on the S7 edge's to replace both my notes, or i will most likely probably have my cousin who is an attorney, send them a nice mail about this and see how they handle it.

This thread needs more Achtung!
Settling for an iPhone when you had an awesome phone like the Note 7 is just... sad to me.
But I get it. There's just no other flagship right now that's much other than a boring compromise somehow.
Big upgrade from a Note 7 though so sure they'll be delighted.Settling for an iPhone when you had an awesome phone like the Note 7 is just... sad to me.

Yeah the LGV20 is pretty interesting. At least LG tries different things with the format. (Modular design, task screen etc. )LGV20. IMO. I also see no sense in going to an iphone after a note 7. Its not even remotely in the same league other than the iphone can make a call. I went with an LGV20 as I already have an S7 edge. I also have a job issued iphone 7 that just sits on my desk as it is useless to me.
The problem is the ones that caught fire are hard to "autopsy" because they're essentially destroyed, and the fires are rare enough that they'll have to test thousands of them long term to get meaningful results.
Maybe we'll move away a bit from ultra thin phones and sealed batteries. Maybe.
It feels like most Note owners will be willing to give Samsung another chance, but I only would if Samsung actually finds the specific design/manufacturing issues that caused the fires and shares that with the public. WIthout that, there's little confidence it won't be repeated.
I do have hopes for a mega S8 as the S7 Edge/Note 7 are arguably the best devices you can still buy. My wife's iPhone 7 camera has generally caught up to my S7 Edge so there is a real opportunity for the S8 to get similar separation as the S7 did over the iPhone 6S.
