1. Does This Affect Any Samsung Tablets?

I'd like to see if I can get a new one soon. I don't want it to explode, though.

3. Probably not seeing as this is simply an update about the note 7 battery issues. nt

5. There are now 3 different Samsung phones with battery and combustion issues.

So I would keep an eye on any of their products.

Samsung rushes all of its products to market.

Think about this when you consider one of their Tablets, TVs, refrigerators, or washing machines.

Not just their phones.

2. Yea I was going to upgrade

my NOTE 3 but I think I'm going to the IPHONE

6. I am sure some people will but to be honest I would probably still buy the note 7

if I had the cash to buy either as battery problems are not an uncommon occurrence with tech and yes even Apple has had issues like that with varies versions of their iphones going boom due to battery issues.

8. Care to cite which iPhone had a tendency to blow up, and be banned from flights?

Because it never happened.

9. Care to cite where I said they had a tendency? You cant. Why? Because I never said that.

I simply pointed out that battery failures are not something thats isolated just to Samsung but if you want to bury your head in the sand then so be it.

10. "Apple has had issues like that"

The "that" is the tendency of the Note 7 to blow up; a tendency which has gotten it banned from flights.

But even if you are referring to the "new" problems with the Note 7 "accelerated battery drain and difficulty charging" - I'd like you to cite which Apple phones had widespread issue with that either.

11. Again I will not try to defend myself for something I never said just because you feel the

need to defend Apple for some reason so you will have to get jollies from someone else.

12. "versions of their iphones going boom due to battery issues"

Ok. Keep saying you didn't say that.

At least have the guts to go back and edit your post to not say exactly that. Meh. Don't waste your time I already got a screenshot.

Admit you were wrong and stop making shit up.

13. Maybe you should read your citations.

"“It’s a bit random,” he told dailytelegraph.com.au, “the thing to be very specific about, the phone did hit the ground, it didn’t just spontaneously combust. It was a one in one million chance I hit a part of the phone which pierced the lithium battery and it exploded."

The phone was pierced. It didn't blow up just because it was charging. It was damaged. Not Apple's fault.

The second citation involves Apple Laptops from 10 years ago. Your original post says Apple PHONES go boom. Not laptops.

Just admit you made shit up.

4. Battery drain and charging problems is an improvement

[BumRushDaShow]

7. I have a Galaxy S4

that is overdue for an upgrade and a Galaxytab 4 7" that is a bit more recent...and neither have had any issues... But after all this, I'll wait on the S4 upgrade.

[cstanleytech]

14. I dont blame you as it doesnt make sense to buy a paperweight for that much

which is what you would be buying atm.
You might want to consider the Samsung 6 though it looks pretty nice or if you want a phone with somewhat newer tech the Iphone 7 might work for you assuming of course there arent any apps that are not android only that you cant live without.

15. I have an iPhone 6+ & iPad Air2

but I like keeping up with both the Android and iOS ecosystems in general (am a techie and hobbyist - have been running some distro of Linux on my home desktop since 1998).

16. Ah, ya I am still using a prepaid Moto G I picked up back in late 2013 since I

dont have the funds for a new phone but on the brightside it does do what I really need it for which is to call for help if I break down somewhere.

[BumRushDaShow]

17. I had a Moto ic902 (Nextel hybrid) flip from 2007 that the S4 had replaced

I had wanted the S4 because it was WEA (Wireless Alert)-capable at the time it came out (the iPhones weren't until recently).
