Galaxy Note 7 : they will be disabled on January 31, 2017 – Clubic

The Galaxy Note 7 Samsung will be back in the history of smartphones, but not for the right reasons. The Galaxy Note 7 is in the center of the biggest recall of devices ever made, because of the explosions of the batteries. Since Samsung has not been able to recover the entirety of the Note 7 sold, he decided to act.

If the majority of the customers of Samsung have decided to make the camera, that always presents a risk of explosion since it is subject to a manufacturing error, some stubbornly refuse to return it to the constructor.

The Galaxy Note 7 rendered totally unusable in Europe (and in France)


To force the hand of the owners of Galaxy Note 7 recalcitrant, since it is a major security problem (the risk of explosion has even led airlines to ban the smartphone on their flights), Samsung is going to use the hard way. After calling to the good conscience of his clients, he will use coercion : it will render the devices unusable.

To do this, nothing more simple : Samsung is going to deploy an update to the internal software of the smartphone. Once it has been downloaded and installed by the device, it will be unusable. A technique that is already used, with success, in other countries of the world and who is going to be launched in Europe and, in fact, in France. The deployment of this update will begin on January 31, 2017.

The Galaxy Note 7 will not connect to the network


If smartphones today have many features, the first is a telephone and, perhaps, a device to go on the Internet. Samsung will therefore strike at the very heart of the use of the Galaxy Note 7 : the software update will prevent the smartphone to connect to the network. Impossible to have a connection to the data, to call or even send an SMS.

If there is still reticence and that some people say they will still be able to connect to wifi, they may become disillusioned : the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 will no longer be able to recharge on the sector. In so doing, making the Score 7 completely unusable, Samsung hopes to recover the 6 % of devices still in circulation in Europe.
