I was wondering if someone did it maliciously or if there was some error that would cause the device to think a wipe request was made.
He probably has a RAT on his Samsung phone...
Samsung has got to cringe every time anything good or bad happens and everyone whips out their iPhones and are waving them above the crowd to get pictures.
Another Chicken Little article. What do we get from DED tomorrow - a long winded article spinning an incredibly improbable chain of possible events that lead to his spurious conclusion that the New York apartment building blew up because someone in it had a Samsung phone?
Or... It's been proven that Samsung phones are out of phase with the Earth's ley lines and that if too many Samsung phone users were to visit Yellowstone NP at the same time, the combined ley desynchronicity would create a magmatic imbalance, triggering a super volcanic even that would wipe out 94% of all life on the North American continent, and 18% globally. Of course you wouldn't get such a problem with iPhones because Apple carefully ley-tunes each and every one of them, by hand.
Or... Never board a plane if you notice more than 4 people ahead of you using a Samsung phone because they are all guaranteed to be RAT infested and the hive-mind AI created when too many infected phones are in close proximity will hack into the Plane's systems and cause it to divert to North Korea - if you are lucky.
Backing up files on an android phone is ridiculously simple, you just copy paste stuff onto your computer's hard drive as you would a flash drive (without having to 'jailbreak'), or use a cloud storage service if you must. If backing up local app settings is incredibly important, you can use Titanium Backup or something like it.

Yep, you just lost 95% of Android's user base with that method and it is why I still consider it a great geek OS.

Titanium backup requires that you first hack your phone using some security exploit to get root access. Hardly simple compared to iCloud backup.

The only added benefit Titanium Backup offers is the backing up of apps and their data. If you have a app that is no longer available or updates removed a feature/function that you really liked you can restore it via TB, you can also backup game data so you don't have to start all over again.
Hey there Mr. Celebrity Sammy-endorser, you must have lots of enemies. Let me show you how your Note phablet has this handy "Kill Switch" thingie, and your problems will be gone!

I've used the same mirco sd card in two different phones since 2011 without any data loss. Whatever happened to Lebron James sounds like massive user error. As far as I know, iPhones don't have sd cards (or even removable batteries), limiting them to their phone's storage and backups via iTunes/iCloud. This doesn't make any sense to me considering the large file size of pictures and the slow speed of backing up files compared to that of swapping out sd cards.
As far as you know? It sounds like you don't know too much. It's no big dark secret that iOS devices have NEVER had SD card support. Hell, even many new Android devices are skipping it, since Google keeps blocking the ability to store apps on them. Keep drinking the tainted Google/Scamdung Kool-Aid, oh newbie troll.
Because on an iPhone, iCloud prompts you immediately upon setup.
Believe it or not.. I know people with iPhones that refuse to use iCloud for backup. They don't want their data stored on a server some where. Go figure.
I would not want my data on Google's servers, but I trust that Apple will respect my prtivacy.

Seems highly unlikely that he accidentally wiped it. Maybe I'm giving Samsung too much of the benefit of the doubt, but if their wipe procedure is anything like the iPhone, you're not just going to tap a button and that's it, wiped. You'll get a few warnings and several button taps before starting such a nuclear procedure. So he would have had to be pretty dumb to do that.
So I think it's more likely that the Samsung went awol.

Or... an iPhone user should never teach a student with a Samsung phone because they'll sneak up behind them, cut their throat, sexually abuse them, put their body in a bin and dump it in the woods in a degrading position. Oh wait:
"Detectives are also trying to retrieve data from Philip Chism's Samsung smartphone, which they found badly mangled in the woods outside Danvers High School.
Police found Chism's cell phone and Ritzer's iPhone both crushed in the woods."
Now people will be quick to suggest that this didn't happen because of the ownership of the Samsung phone. Of course not, the important point is that the psychopath was drawn to purchase the Samsung phone, where the mild-mannered, innocent victim opted for the iPhone.
There have been studies that suggest people who are abusive online are far more likely to be like this in real life. Given the prevalence of abuse from Android users online, the suggestion that these people should be avoided sounds like a good idea.
Here's a video of Lebron James (Samsung owner) throwing his clothes on the floor for the guy to pick up:

"Hmm, I wonder what happens if I push the Red Button???"
Apparently so, to his detriment.
Who needs Apple to engage in Anti-samsung campaigns when Samsung seems to be doing a great job of self-destructing?
Though it would be funny if Samsung has actually paid him to make that tweet from his iphone, and he again used the wrong phone...:p

Here's a plain-English description of what is automatically backed-up on Google Android smartphones/tablets

Yep, you just lost 95% of Android's user base with that method and it is why I still consider it a great geek OS.
They could opt for another means of backup. The silly thing is going without backup.
There are a lot of dumb people out there, especially the ones that wear tinfoil hats.
True. Everyone knows you should be wearing tin foil underwear also...
If the mentioned celebrities had signed contracts to use Samsung products and then didn't, they should be sued for breach of contract.
No matter what type of media...movies, music, books, photos and web pages
look better and sound better on the Kindle Fire HD than any iPad
You certainly seem to be free of any bias¡

Samsung is trying to counter the damage by sponsoring a CNet Galaxy Note 3 article and having them repost it.
How pathetic is that?
