  • Samsung tells Galaxy Note 7 users to turn off, stop using device

    As with people still driving right into flood swollen rivers there's going to be far too many people who will keep right on. Carriers shut off service to force conversion? Possibly.

  • UK government extends cellphone ban during Cabinet meetings to Apple Watch

    Any device with recording capability is best banned from any SCIF So information doesn't escape. And foreign government intrusion is never benign re "transparency". Putin, for instance, isn't a friend if British subjects.

    I just took back my replacement Note7 today and have the iPhone 7 Plus on order.  I left iPhones 3 years ago, I wanted more screen size, and I've had nearly every Android flagship since then.  I'm looking forward to Apple's vertical integration again and my phone having zero carrier bloat.  I still have my GS7 Edge so it will be fun to live with both.
    Shame on you. You don't need to change phones twice a year. Think about the environment!
    Unless the older ones are stuck in a drawer all he's doing is providing a good supply of phones to the resale market.

    This is friken RIDICULOUS.

    All Samsung phones need to be confiscated from all flights. PERIOD.

    They need to be collected and stored in an air tight/fire proof safe for the entire flight.


    These phones are as dangerous as dynamite. 
    Why the HELL is the govt not doing anything?
    Many people don't know Android phones are much superior to iPhones.  Google Android phones are capable of doing multi-tasking even in the background.  They think if Android phones are not in use then there is no danger of overheating.  Apparently Samsung proved the government and the media are idiots.  
    Android is NOT superior to iOS even with background multi tasking. And the phone in question was powered off. If android is actually running in the background when a phone is powered down, then I will admit that android is truly superior, in that it can run without a power source. And if the OS is still running utilizing the battery when a phone is powered down, it is a massive OS design flaw. It would mean the only way really to shut phone down would be to fully exhaust the battery. So much for saving the battery on an Android phone when it is powered down. The OS is still running anyway and performing multiple tasks draining the battery so that when it is powered up, half the battery life is gone. 

    Fast charging lithium batteries is fraught with risk anyhow. It was even a problem for Boeing's 787.  

    Android much superior to iOS. LOL. That's a good one. 
    I am just sarcastic .  Because I heard many Fandroids bragging this.  This guy could be just turning off his Note 7.  Power off is not the same as shut off.  
    Now there's something that should be repeated on the planes for emphasis! Power off is NOT the same as just turning off the screen.
