Definately 'Hissgate'
Definately 'Hissgate'
Perhaps apple are preparing people for the removal of the ability to make / receive calls in the iPhone 8? They are a courageous company after all!
So it seems Samsungs attempt to 'beat' Apple led to them trying to shove a too big battery in a too small hole - only Samsung could try and put a square peg in a round hole. Blatant disregard for their customers safety aside - why does everything Samsung always come back to something Apple? Will they never learn.

Bungling the recall of something so serious is inexcusable.

Cheers, got it sorted today. No questions asked - they cancelled the replacement and advised me to pop everything in the Royal Mail bag.
I wouldn't take any more chances with Samsung's issues, from battery to bricking. They apparently rushed it too much.
I'm not in a hurry any more and will wait for the Pixel phones and make up my mind then, hoping they are not as ugly as the leaked photos
We know about the black square on the box which identifies good notes, now there will be a green battery icon to also identify good ones. That will come by a software update:

Apparently there have been 2 cases in China now which have come from the so called safe stock. Surely the ones with the new batteries can't be affected?
Good service from EE I see, unlike CPW who told me to take into store, so wasted time going in and no one there had a clue lol!
Mate of mine due to get his new phone tomorrow from CPW ...I'll update you if he does get one
No not taken it back yet, would rather swap like for like rather than an interim loan. Flying from Belfast into Birmingham tomorrow first thing too, it better behave itself!

Seriously starting to get bored of waiting, communication from Vodafone been very poor!!
I have zero idea of when I will receive the phone I had preordered ages ago and never got mine on release day.
They have even had the cheek to bill me for it this month when I haven't received or used the new contract?

That's ridiculous, surely the contract doesn't start until the item has been despatched?
It's starts on the day you sign/pay on the dotted line.
