PT to add Sprint statement and info about AT&T.Hi, Samsung users! It's great to hear you are backing to syncing your Fitbit trackers. In other markets around the globe, like New Zealand, Samsung already has cut off access to wireless networks for customers still using their Note 7 devices. It also issued a reminder pop-up notification every time a consumer charged, rebooted or turned on the screen of their Note 7 device. In November, Samsung said it would start limiting the Note 7's charging abilities in the US, preventing the devices from charging beyond 60 percent. It's offering Note 7 owners $100 to exchange the device for another Samsung phone. That caused Samsung to issue a second recall in mid-October and permanently stop production of the device. But then some replacement units started having the same problem. Samsung issued a global recall of the popular device in September. Then came the battery problems, which caused some units to overheat and catch fire. The company had just begun to regain its swagger after stumbling the previous year with lackluster products. The Note 7, which hit the market in mid-August, was expected to solidify Samsung's lead in the mobile market after a strong showing with its Galaxy S7. Samsung said in a statement that "this software update is intended to remove the remaining Note 7 devices from the market to ensure the safety of our customers." In the US, 93 percent of recalled Note 7 devices have been returned to the carriers and Samsung.

"We will not push a software upgrade that will eliminate the ability for the Note 7 to work as a mobile device in the heart of the holiday travel season. "Verizon will not be taking part in this update because of the added risk this could pose to Galaxy Note 7 users that do not have another device to switch to," the company said in a statement. Verizon Wireless, the biggest carrier in the US, earlier Friday said it won't issue Samsung's software update because it could harm consumers. Your safety is our priority, please return your Note 7 to the place you purchased for an exchange. This Note 7 was recalled and is banned on all flights in both checked and carry-on luggage. The SMS said, "As of, Samsung's software update to prevent the Galaxy Note 7 battery from recharging will be pushed to your Note 7. Sprint is honoring the replacement of all Sprint Samsung Note 7 devices to any other device, regardless where or when it was purchased, condition and return policy."ĪT&T on Friday started sending text messages to customers to let them know about the update. Sprint customers with Samsung Galaxy Note 7 should immediately power off the device and discontinue using it.

"T-Mobile customers who still have a Note 7 should immediately power down and stop using the device, and bring it back to a T-Mobile store for a full refund and a replacement device."Īnd Sprint said, "Customer safety is our highest priority.
"We always want to do the right thing and make sure our customers are safe, so on December 27 we will roll out Samsung's latest software update, which is designed to stop all remaining Note 7 devices from charging," T-Mobile said in a statement provided to CNET. Sprint will push out the new software to its users on January 8.
T-Mobile's update will come December 27, while AT&T will release the update on January 5. The wireless carriers on Friday said they will issue software updates from Samsung that will prevent Note 7 devices from charging and will "eliminate their ability to work as mobile devices." Samsung earlier in the day announced plans for the update to make sure the remaining seven percent of Note 7 owners turn in their phones. But they're going to let you enjoy Christmas first. AT&T, T-Mobile and Sprint are working with Samsung to kill off your Galaxy Note 7.
