Thats like saying some guys note 7 is fine because he didnt have his personal one explode

He has/had a ton of software installed and it went off without a hitch, on a Q6600 build. How the Hell did it go wrong for anyone?

There was also the fact that a lot of business PCs upgraded themselves through the Win10 force-feeding, and broke/messed up a lot of stuff for quite a number of businesses.

Welp, sometimes things just cant work out properly. No idea how much will Samsung's reputation plummet but even in the worst case scenario they'll still be fine. Samsung is large, they even make ships!

 

I never liked Samsung phones, now I have more excuses not to get one!

Yeeez, this it not going well for Samsung. At least no one was injured in this incident.

Man, this launch is more of a flop than Windows 10. And that's no easy feat.

Why would you classify windows 10's launch as a flop when it has the fastest adoption rate yet?

[Thony]

Poor Samsung. They might as well discontinue Note 7 line ....

Windows 10 wasn't that bad.... 

 

Xbox One, Note 7, Apple Pippin, and Blackberry Priv were far worse.

Virtual Boy was a pretty historic failure as well.

Your comments make me doubt what your signature says is your occupation.A beginner coder in high school can answer your question for you.

Maybe they can, but this has nothing to do with coding. Absolutely everything could have gone wrong for him, far more than most.

 

Of course crap happens sometimes, but if it was going to fail catastrophically, it should have for him.

 

If by question you're taking a potshot at my .net performance question over on the programming thread, I'm very experienced in Java, C++, and x86 Assembly. I do not claim to be any sort of veteran in C# .NET; and event-based programming, especially for web development, in a closed-garden virtual language environment is a completely different beast than I am used to. Further, the smart person researches and asks the experts. So, before you even think about judging my knowledge of programming or software as a whole based either on my question here or on the programming thread, take a step back and realize you lack my perspective, I lack yours, and being a condescending, self-important asshole such as you have been gets neither of us anywhere and also wastes the bytes of LMG while distracting the thread just to feed your sad, petty narcissism.

 

Now, care to try that again?

Because it's currently losing marketshare BACK to Windows 8.1

Nobody will buy this soon. This could bring the whole company down with lawsuits together with unsold phones.

You realize how big samsung is?

Clearly doesn't, or we can just imagine that he's talking only about their mobile division, which will probably take a few heavy hits if a few more of these "fixed" notes fire up.

Yea cause samsung literally sells everything lmao

 

So many phones be exploding, I'm suspecting Isis 

[DanTbh]

Hope this turns out to be a Hoax, ie phone still exploded but it wasn't actually a new version.

I just took a looked at your signature and it says software engineer, dont know what post you might be referring to.

A software engineer should know at a basic level that not all applications will play nice with new operating systems. Also that auto roll outs will not always function as intended due to some unaccounted for changes to the previous program or OS. With the hundreds of millions of computers out there, each with different configurations there will be problems with an OS thats auto-rolled out. In the case of windows 10 there was an overwhelming amount of issues. 

 

Im simply judging based your comment of a singular users experience could be compared to the global majority. its not something a software engineer would say as they would understand why many people would have an issue where some may not as its their, and thus your, job to know that as a basic fact.

The problem with your theory is that Microsoft knows all of those configurations and can account for them since they are already within the bounds of the Windows ecosystem.

 

I also asked how, not why. Of course crap happens, but knowing how it happens is valuable.

 

And your definition of software engineer is both woefully incomplete and horribly incorrect. You're thinking of a systems architect.

6% of the whole pie was the last reported figure.

Then I really wouldn't call this a flop unless that number goes up dramatically.

Going from 35% to 29% is a pretty big drop to happen just in the span of 1 month.

Oh, 6% of the total OS market - I thought you meant of all 10 devices. Still, if it stops here it's not a huge deal. Either way I don't see the point in reverting. 8.1 was worse in every way.

I've said before that the Note line is never going to recover from this. It's ruined the Note's reputation permanently, but at least we had the counter-argument that the phone was fine after the recall. We now no longer have that argument.

[Okjoek]

I've had a good time with my Galaxy S7 since I got it in August. I had the option of the Edge version, but I figured it was too gimmicky so I just went twith what was farmiliar in a smartphone to me. The note isn't something that looks very interesting to me either for the same reasons, but it looks like they really Effed that up bigtime.

[Kimmers]

Glad I didn't recommend the Note 7 to friends. What a mess.

[ajax2061]

seams they can make it happen in a lab now so maybe a real fix is coming ?
