    Everyone knows about the exploding battery problem with the note 7 and most know by now about Samsung washing machines exploding too. I personally avoid buying Samsung products where I can as i find it to be made cheap. What annoys me is that tech journalist have no idea exactly why the batteries are exploding as most of them just copy the story like a meme.

    Does anyone have any insight on why the batteries are over charging?

    I have told this many times. If you buy anything different than American, German or Japanese tech, you are just making compromises and compromises cost money and lives (#ExplodingNote7NeverForget). That's it. Long live Sony Xperia. Wish I could afford an iPhone tho.

    Other sources are saying that the cause is cheap chargers/cables.

    https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/1781420/why-are-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-phones-exploding/
    So, if that's true, then why does it only affect Samsung phones? Where did Samsung go wrong?

    Sounds unlikely that cheap 3rd party chargers were used with so many Brand new Note 7's

    It doesn't matter where is made and who is making it. What matters is who designs/engineers the product and how they control the production process. If something is made in China doesn't automatically make it bad.

    If the rating of the old charger is the same as the new one, go ahead, my point is, it is unlikely that this many people did the same as you, all with the same device

    Far more likely that the batteries were faulty, in fact pretty much a certainty it was the batteries and not people using old chargers or this would have happened many times before

    So your annoyed because a company you dont like isnt getting a media bashing to the standard you think they should?

    Technology isnt perfect, these things happen, the iphone 7 is having its fair share of exploding batteries and failures aswell.


    Get over it.

    How about sorting out that weak as prime minister of yours.

    My iPhone 3GS felt like it was thermonuclear under load. My HTC one M8 was possessed I've had no issues with any of my Samsung home electronics. It's the luck of the draw really.

    Your response is dishonest as that is definitely not my intention, I'm annoyed that in all those headlines bashing the Samsung phones that it is hard to find any technical explanation for the reason for the problem. I dont hold any real animosity towards Samsung even though I don't trust their products.

    As for prime minister Trudeau, I am very proud of him and have yet to hear any legitimate criticism of the man or his party.

    I agree with you that Samsung is advanced, but their problems have nothing to do with not being advanced enough. Samsung simply cuts cost everywhere it can and sometimes it "blows" up in their face.

    Most, if not all companies cut costs, welcome to the world of business. :3eyes:
