Unusual...

Hey, EverythingAndroidPro here:
So, I got my Galaxy Note 7, the recalled version. Samsung claimed it was safer, so I tried it out. No issues. It worked great for the first two months. Until it reached 0%. After that it wouldn't charge. Every time i tried it would heat up. Like, fire hot, causing me to pull out the entire plug and get the outlet checked out. So I am not sure what to do. It works if i hard reset it, but when it dies again, its the same old thing. Should I toss it in the trash or play the Note 7's little game?
 
Safe than what? A grenade?

I was under the impression that All note 7's were recalled and/or deactivated via an update. I'd return it before it started a fire.


ahh.. sorry.. i thought he meant the re-launched Korean version.

Ahh no... you're on your own there mate... Samsung didn't claim it was safer.. they wanted them back.

Put it down before you get hurt.
 
.... Until it reached 0%......
That's a little vague. If that's a reference to the battery failing and no longer being able to hold a charge, buying it only a few months ago it should still be covered under a warranty. But if it's a matter where you were continuously using your phone until it ran down to single digits, you might still have claim for a replacement but when frequently running any smartphone battery down until it's almost drained, that will drastically shorten the battery's longevity.
