Galaxy Note 7 : the causes of the disaster soon clarified – Numerama

Samsung needs to communicate by the end of the year on its investigation and disclose the reasons at the origin of the fiasco of the Galaxy Note 7. The batteries would be permanently out of the question.

It is in the course of the next few weeks we should finally know the causes of the conflagration unexplained the Galaxy Note 7. In fact, the south Korean media indicated that the publication of the final conclusions of Samsung, which is conducting the investigation for months, needs to happen soon, very likely by the end of the year, according to The Investor.

While the internal batteries had been pointed out from the outset, it now appears that they are not the primary cause of the unrest in the Galaxy Note 7. Certainly, they contribute to the combustion of mobile and are likely to explode due to the action of the flames, but they would not be the trigger. They are for the moment put out of the question.

Of the subsequent verifications carried out by Samsung did not show that the cause of the problem of the batteries. A “good” news for Samsung, who has been a part re-orient its investigations and on the other hand to offer reassurance about the reliability of this component. In fact, the lithium-ion batteries in question are manufactured by Samsung SDI, a subsidiary of the giant south Korean.

one of The issues that will arise when Samsung will disclose on its inquiry will be whether the origin of the problem can be corrected relatively easily to be able to consider the discount on the market the Galaxy Note 7. This scenario seems quite implausible : the Galaxy Note 7 has missed three months of sale, is for the moment more product, and its brand image is clearly degraded.

On the other hand, the publication of the conclusions of Samsung may have an indirect beneficial effect : by showing that he has found the origin of the problem that has affected the Galaxy Note 7, the asian giant could say, in a hollow, that this concern is now known and controlled : in other words, it does not occur in any way on its next smartphone, namely the Galaxy S8, which should unfold over the next year.

It is crucial for Samsung because if the Galaxy Note 7 is one of the terminals of the most popular on its catalog, the Galaxy Sx is the flagship of the entire fleet.

It focuses on the skills in mathematics and science. “More than 600 000 students of 10 years in 48 countries participated in the test,” explains Sybille Broomberg. In France, 5 000 pupils of CM1 responded to questions. “On the 28 countries of the european Union, the young French show the worst results in math as they are. They are next-to-last in science, just ahead of Cyprus“, describes the journalist on the plateau of France 3.

not surprisingly, in math as in science, the five asian countries are leading the world ranking with Singapore in mind. Sybille Broomberg returns to the French case. “the Other alarming findings : 13% of students in math and 12% in science would not even have the basic knowledge. In our country, the majority of our teachers would be from the sectors non-scientific and would experience more difficulties in transmitting these contents,” she continued. These tests took place before the new programs put in place in September 2016.

Samsung is offering a second life in the Galaxy Note 5… thanks to the … – 01net.com

Samsung has decided to make the new with the old. The brand of south korea has started to update the OS that turns the smartphone Galaxy Note 5 held by the subscribers to the operator Korea Telecom.

This update, about 600mb, does not allow these smartphones, released in the summer of 2015, to turn in Nougat, but brings them all to the same one of the latest software created by Samsung : the overlay Grace OWS, based on Android 6.0.1.

This interface was originally installed on the Galaxy Note 7, offers new features such as selfies ” broad “, a filter anti blue light – not yet available on the S7 Edge, the last high-end smartphone of the brand – or even the Ultra Power Saving Mode, which allows you to save the maximum battery of the smartphone by reducing his activity to the main uses. Compared to the traditional TouchWiz interface, Thanks OW also brings a new version of the settings menu, icons are sharper, and other aesthetic improvements.

Grace UX with Android Nougat

The owners of Galaxy Note 5 around the world – and the few French who have found to buy it – should also take advantage soon of this update. Less surprising, the overlayer Grace UX is also expected to arrive on the Galaxy S7 and S7 the Edge, on the occasion of their passage to the last version of Android.

If Samsung had to proceed to a reminder of the Galaxy Note 7 in October as a result of explosions or burning unexplained of several devices, it would have been a shame to lose all the technological advances offered by this smartphone.

SNCF : an internal note to employees with insults and … – L’indépendant.fr

PHOTO/AFP GUILLAUME SOUVANT

A handwritten document, recently discovered, are approximately 25 officers from the gare Saint-Lazare, in Paris, in their accolant comments “insulting” and “racist”, said on Tuesday to AFP the union SUD-Rail, confirming information Parisien.

For Fabio Ambrosio, a union official from Sud-Rail, the document, discovered at the beginning of the month by an agent, a mixture of the remarks of a professional order such as “good”, “not good”, for information on trade union membership and comments “offensive”, “racist” or related to the privacy. The listing is for “agents”, responsible for giving the green light to the departure of the trains. “On one or two, it is written ‘just divorced’ or ‘married to a foreigner with the nationality of the lady. I do not see too what it comes to here”, ” says Ambrosio.

“Very boring side security“, “guy low ceiling”, “slightly stupid“, “cafte other” are some of the examples cited by le Parisien, written comments by a manager. The directorate has sent his apologies to the agents on November 15, after having been captured by the unions. “This list [...] contains about inappropriate, unjustified” has written to the leader of operational unit of the Saint-Lazare train station in his email, reproduced in part by the Parisian. “The list has been no dissemination to date. [...] I had no knowledge and this did nothing to influence the choice of management,” says the author.

A fact which doubt the responsible trade union SUD-Rail, which cites examples of more ancient such as in Cergy in 2013 or in Bordeaux there are a dozen of years. the “Without going so far as to say that this type of file is systematic, it is surely not an isolated case. It is a method of management that aims to put pressure on certain employees.”

This is not the first time a case of data collection of employees is revealed. Last April, the CGT denounced a similar practice with respect to the conductors of the RATP.

According to a confidential note, London would want “the butter and l … – RT in French

The british government tries to negotiate its withdrawal from the european Union, while now in the common market : a position all the more difficult to keep that it seems to arouse the opposition of the traders French.

This is a document that should remain confidential : a note from the chief of staff of Mark Field, the leader of the conservative party, was photographed without his knowledge while he was leaving a meeting of the commission in charge of preparing the Brexit on Monday 28 November.

It reads, among other things, that the United Kingdom would have few chances to stay in the common market after its exit from the european Union : London would “own horrors” to accept the “controls” transition allowing him to continue to enjoy the benefits of the european market. In effect, the output of the EU does not imply an automatic withdrawal from the common market… but a continuance of the latter would be “very difficult”.

The document called the british position in attempt to “have the butter and the money of butter” (“to have cake and eat it”). He mentions, moreover, the obstacle that would constitute “the positions of the negotiators, French”, which would have sought to “see what it looks like the agreement” prepared by the British… but they do not give their consent for the same.

While the United Kingdom is facing internal difficulties as to the attitude to adopt in the face of the negotiations, these promise to be extremely tight. In addition to the difficulty to reach an agreement, the Prime minister Theresa May will have to ratify it by the parliament, as called for by the british courts.

Meizu m5 note : certified in China and formalized in the next week – LesMobiles.com

As each generation of Blue Sharm, the first declension of the basic model is the model ” Note “. The m5 notes will be no exception : it has just obtained its certification in China and Meizu has scheduled its presentation on December 6.

next week should be the opportunity to discover new terminals in chinese… like every month. And Meizu is actively involved in the flow of news never stops. The brand has planned a presentation on the 30th of November, and the model in question is expected to be the Meizu X (or a name like that). Then, a week later, a new mobile will be unveiled : the m5 notes, the first declension of the m5, which is official for a month now.

Invitation sent

The information is all that there is more official, since the company sent this week-end invitations for an event. Invitation relayed on chinese social networks, and where the date is mentioned, but not only : it is also said that the m3 note, his predecessor, will be already placed in retirement when the output of the m5′s note. A retreat, however well-deserved 20 million of this model have been sold. That should give Meizu the opportunity to move up in the rankings of the chinese manufacturers…

The m5 notes will, therefore, be official in a few days, but it has already been fully revealed by Tenaa, the certification body of China. His time at Tenaa has generated a full spec sheet which we learn that the m5 notes will be very close to its predecessor, the m3 rating. It will resume the platform (Helio P10 MediaTek), the screen (5.5-inch Full HD) and photographic equipment (sensor 13 megapixel rear and 5-megapixel on the front). The connectivities are identical, and the fingerprint reader will return (to judge from the photos). As a reminder, in addition to the screen size and the lack of a fingerprint reader, these details correspond also to the m5. A little recycling at Meizu ?

A third storage option

Then what will change ? First, the m5 note offer not two, but three storage options. The first two are those of the m5 and the m3 note : 2 Gb of RAM and 16 GB of storage on one side, 3 Gb of RAM and 32 Gb of storage on the other. The latter enhances these two parameters : 4 Gb of RAM and 64 Gb of storage. The battery, meanwhile, will be revised slightly downwards (4000 mAh, compared with 4100 mAh battery earlier). The dimensions, finally, are almost identical, but the m5 notes will be overweight : 8 grams more. The frame should be metal. It therefore remains to verify all of its information, as well as the price. We’ll see you next week.

Miss France 2017 : what Miss has had the best score on the test of … – Tv Loisirs.fr

To be elected Miss France, it is not only a perfect plastic but also a good head. And to ensure that the Miss elected will be able to respond to the first interviews without the risk of skip to the gag reel, Sylvie Tellier prepares each year a multiple-choice test of 40 questions to test the general culture of the claimant to the coveted title of Miss France. 40 questions on topics as varied as music, mathematics, politics, current events, history, géographie, literature, etc.

>>> Miss France 2017 : here are the official photos of the candidates ! (30 PHOTOS)

“It is more of a test of curiosity than of general culture. The goal is not to saquer. It is in a beauty contest, they do not pass the ENA. Out of the forty questions, twenty seem to me to be obvious and twenty are a little more full-bodied. Like that, if they have the average, is that they have a curiosity rather good. From 12 to 20, we can consider that the candidate is alert to what is happening. Personally, a candidate who has 6 sur20, I can’t put it in the the twelve finalists,” has entrusted Sylvie Tellier at TV Mag.

But a very good note can also afford to go very far… In any case, this is rather good news for the rest of the competition. In fact, last year, the Miss that won the best note of this well-known test is that’theIris Mittenaere, Miss France 2016, with 17.5 out of 20.

And this candidate who is able to unseat Miss France 2016 is none other than Miss Ile-de-France, Meggy Pyaneeandee. “I am very happy but mostly relieved. Even if I know that I am grown, there is always a little stress to be able to prove that this is real. I had mostly pressure, because I do Sciences-Po in Paris, and I knew that it was waiting for me so very well. This is what we are taught : curiosity, reading the logs… I wanted to get 18 out of 20 at minimum, and carry high the colours of Science-Po in the adventure of Miss France,” was entrusted to the young Miss of 22 years.

Jade Scotte (Miss Côte d’azur) and Charlotte Patat (Miss Champagne-Ardennes) completed the podium by winning both the score of 16 out of 20.

The notes of Blue in the face to All Blacks : Gourdon sparkly, Lopez … – Le Figaro Sport

The flanker, which is omnipresent in attack as in defence, is the revelation of the fall tour. Vahaamahina has also shown by its involvement in the fight. The opener of Clermont has messed up a clean copy for his pass intercepted. The turning point of the match.

With Arnaud Coudry, at the Stade de France

Chiocci 5. Loses a ball precious in the 22 kiwi (22^e). Effective in melee. Little seen ball in hands. Replaced by Cyril Yawn (60^e). Dominator melee closed.

Guirado 4,5. Stopped at 50 cm from the in-goal at the 60^e minute. At the forefront of the battle, but loses a ball on the ground. Has his speed especially, four shots gone astray, key and some booed by the alignment of new zealand. Scratch two balls on the ground. The captain leaves the field of battle at the 69^e minute and was replaced by Camille Cat. Who does not give her hand to the dog.

Atonio 6. Sanctioned melee closed 10 metres in front of the posts to NZ. A few effective supports. A load of monstrous who put two All Blacks on the bottom (49^e). We have seen a lot of defying the new zealand defence. Gives way to Slimani (60^e) which folds its screw-to-screw over the melee at the origin of the single-trial French.

Vahaamahina has been fierce

Maestri not rated. An early game full of aggression. Unfortunately, affected the right ankle, it must yield its place (15^e) Julian The Devedec (4), who has suffered physically and has not succeeded in restoring good order in the key.

Vahaamahina 7. He had announced. The second-line of clermont-ferrand has been fierce. Déblayages, expenses, balloons worn, it hurts in the front in new zealand. Two breakthroughs in power at the 42^e. Finally aggressive. And constant during the 80 minutes.

Ollivon 6. Ubiquitous in the fight. By its pressure defensive, scrapes a ball of precious which provides the penalty of 6-10 just before the break to Machenaud. However, loses both balloons, the one-on-one in-front a few meters from the promised land on a breakthrough of Machenaud (13^e).

Gourdon 7,5. A match huge. Advances in full field, an iron defense (9 tackler, the best total side habs). The flanker of La Rochelle is, without doubt, the great revelation of this fall tour. Incessant activity and supports the cutting edges. The perfect link between forwards and three-quarters.

Picamoles 5. Shaken from the kick-off by Retallick, he’s been in. The number 8 has too little advanced at the impact. A ball was lost in contact (19^e). Another lost on a pass that doesn’t Vakatawa on an opportunity to test at the time of the game. Served a beautiful pass in the back of Serin, he has written the only essay habs. Replaced by Chouly (66^e).

Machenaud has made some miracles under pressure

Machenaud 6. A lot more present than in the first two tests. However, lack of alternation by playing three times at the foot. Has made some miracles under pressure behind the rucks. 2 on 2 in his role of scorer. Give up his place to Baptiste Serin as soon as the 48^e. That immediately made admire the vista. Fast and inspired, his chistera to send Picamoles in the promised land is the most beautiful example. Deserves to start a match.

Lopez 4,5. A return to blue are mixed. Regulator rows back, however, he has forgotten the foot in its range of opener with a single balloon typed in the current game ! Taken over by Savea to three metres in-goal after a beautiful collective movement driven by Gourdon, relayed by Machenaud and Vakatawa (9^e). He did not parade in defence (8 tackle). Has his passive, his pass intercepted in the 22 new zealanders in the 42^e for a counter assassin of Beauden Barrett who is going to flatten 80 meters away (42^e). The risk when it is also flat…

Vakatawa 5,5. Every time he is asked, he électrise the stage (84 meters traveled ball in hands). But the waste like on this little kick completely unscrewed (3^e), or this goes poorly controlled for Fofana who commits a before (28^e). Little at his ease on the balloons of air that Barrett abused.

Fofana 5,5. Leaves the field of the 12 to the 15^e for a protocol for concussions. Two turnovers, including this in-prior to the conclusion of a breakthrough where he had found the support of Vakatawa (28^e). But now in defence and very active in front of the first curtain. Has not quite dared to challenge him more openly.

Nakaitaci has struggled to be at the reception balloons air

Lamerat 6. Not the most brilliant but what a presence ! In defense, in the rucks, for a balloon scraped by throwing himself as a death of hunger. Powerful, it is still managing to move forward one or two yards with defenders on the saddle. Replaced by Gael Fickou (60^e).

Nakaitaci 5. Surprised by the ball up to Barrett as soon as the 3^e minute for the first try of the All Blacks. The opener of new zealand has focused a lot on the foot in the corner, the winger having struggled to be located at the reception of balloons in the air. Tried a few shots, with a capacity noticed standing on the first contacts. Less in view than against Australia.

Dulin 5,5. The soloist has made passes ! Four to be exact. It has sometimes managed to sneak into the traffic, as during his long raid on a stimulus initiated at the 49^e minute. Four defenders beaten in the end. But also three turnovers. Unlikely, therefore, that it has outstripped Spedding, package for this match, in the hierarchy of the rear.

Johannesburg – South Africa retains its financial note, but … – The Express

In a notice published in the night from Friday to Saturday, Moody’s has left unchanged its rating of Baa2 with a negative outlook assigned to the South Africa, but was in a hurry to quickly implement reforms to support growth.

The rating of Baa2 is two notches above the level of speculation.

The negative outlook “reflects the risks related to the implementation of structural reforms designed to restore confidence,” says Moody, who also laments the “political infighting that promote uncertainty and hinder reforms“.

The note of South Africa “would very likely be lowered in the absence of structural reforms“, insists the agency.

a Few hours before Moody’s, Fitch has also maintained its rating of BBB – to the South Africa, just one notch above speculative, but lowered its outlook to “stable” to “negative“.

Here, too, it is the unstable political climate across the country which has been pointed out.

“The political risks related to governance have increased and remain high (…) with negative consequences on macroeconomic outcomes,” said Fitch.

- Seizure –

For months, the shadow of a degradation-planar with emphasis on the most developed country of the continent.

Fitch expects a rise of 1.3% in 2017, and 2.1% in 2018.

For years, the economic engine of south africa at idle, a victim in particular of the fall in commodity prices. After +1.3% in 2015, the growth of its gross domestic product (GDP) should not exceed 0.5% this year.

Twenty-two years after the official end of apartheid, the country is still crippled by inequality, with an unemployment rate at its highest level in thirteen years that hits 27.1% of its active population.

foreign investors are increasingly doubtful about the ability of president Zuma to restart its economy.

Weakened by a series of corruption scandals, the head of State, whose second and final term must be completed in 2019, is increasingly criticized, even within his party, the african national Congress (ANC).

In his own government, Mr. Zuma and his entourage are opposed to the minister of Finance Pravin Gordhan, who has the confidence of the markets and good management of public enterprises one of its priorities.

“The internal struggle within the ANC and the government will probably continue next year,” noted Fitch. “It will distract policy makers and produce signals that will continue to undermine the investment climate“, adds the agency.

- Resilience –

“The south african economy has demonstrated its resilience despite the challenges“, he stressed in a press release, “the decisions of the rating agencies recognize the commitment (of the country) to maintain economic policies and sound institutions“.

To avoid a penalty of agencies, the government has multiplied in recent weeks the signs of good will to the place of investors.

To appease the social climate, it has unveiled a draft of the minimum monthly wage. He also announced a spreading of its future civilian nuclear program, including the estimated cost of 1,000 billion rand (65 bn euros) concerned the analysts.

he welcomed the absence of degradation, the main opposition party, the democratic Alliance (DA), has emphasized that warnings sent to the power.

The note of Fitch is “a cause characterized” of Mr Zuma, has estimated Friday, one of its leaders, David Maynier, “a glaring proof that the policy is killing the economy in South Africa“.

Even if Fitch and Moody’s have for the time spared South Africa, a number of analysts remain convinced that it will not be able to avoid a penalty.

The agency Standard and Poor’s must make to turn its verdict next Friday.

South africa: Moody’s leaves his or her financial score unchanged – Zonebourse.com

Johannesburg – The financial ratings agency Moody’s has left Saturday unchanged its rating of Baa2 with a negative outlook assigned to the South Africa, but has warned of a likely deterioration if it fails to undertake reforms and support growth.

Contrary to expectations, Moody’s has not formally revised its note, but was satisfied to publish an “updated opinion”, which also highlights the risks caused by the political unrest that has swept the country around the governance of president Jacob Zuma.

The rating of Baa2 is two notches above the level of speculation.

The negative outlook reflects the risks related to the implementation of structural reforms designed to restore confidence and encourage investment,” says Moody’s in a press release published in the night from Friday to Saturday.

The concerns expressed by the agency are also attributed to “political infighting that promote uncertainty and hamper structural reforms”.

For years, the economic engine of south africa at idle, a victim in particular of the fall in commodity prices, and the unemployment rate hitting over a quarter of its active population.

president Jacob Zuma is weakened for months by a series of corruption scandals that earned him sharp criticism, including within his party, the african national Congress (ANC).

In 2017, the ANC must elect a new leader, who will automatically be the presidential candidate of the ANC in the general elections of 2019.

In its rating, Moody’s warns South Africa that his note “would very likely be lowered in the absence of structural reforms to foster high and sustainable growth in the medium term”.

Before Moody’s, Fitch had also on Friday maintained its rating of BBB – to the South Africa, but had lowered its outlook from “stable” to “negative”.

Standard & Poor’s shall complete this assessment by publishing its updated note on Friday.

Despite the recall procedure and the recommendations of Samsung in the field of security, and some French refuse to return their smartphones, the south Korean manufacturer.

The explosions in series of Galaxy Note 7 and the callback procedure global has followed the leave-insensitive. Despite the risk of combustion, the prohibition of transport Note 7-in-plane or rumors of deactivation of these devices at a distance, since denied, of the French are reluctant to part with their top end phone and refuse to follow the recommendations of Samsung. On Twitter and Facebook, in particular, within the group, Samsung Galaxy Note 7 France, they discussed tips to keep the Note 7 and ensure the best operation possible.

A note of hope in the group Samsung Galaxy Note 7 France.

Difficult to estimate the exact number of French affected by this configuration. Samsung is not communicating on the volume of Note 7 distributed in France, but the Figaro of a number of “very low” to affected devices. The group Samsung Galaxy Note 7 France has more than 1350 members. But all do not share the same desire to keep their device. There are also sharing advice on the subject of the recall procedure, as well as stories of setbacks or successes about their work.

Between handsets, and a simple refusal to cooperate

Those who refuse to return their device are formal, and put forward two main arguments to keep it at all costs: its performance “unequalled” on the market, but also, and often, their weariness by report to the customer service, if they are got in touch with them. The callback procedure implementation is more or less arduous according to the dealers and operators involved. To lose no more time, they preferred to give up.

A cry from the heart.

“I have kept my Note 7 because, despite several calls to Samsung and Orange, I never received the labels Chronopost to return the phone,” writes Natacha, particularly discouraged, contacted via the group Samsung Galaxy Note 7 France. “I have tried to contact the customer service but now I quit… Tired of wasting time… They have taken many times my contact details and IMEI number of the phone, without call me back. So as not to make it, especially as it doesn’t heat up at all.”

The mail received by several holders of the Note 7.

Jonathan and Youness are both agreed about the performance of the phone. Its stylus, its design, battery life of a performance and the beauty of its screen,” have seduced. They regret, however, the difference in compensation between France and Italy, for example, to the disadvantage of the French. “You don’t touch any compensation in France. In Italy, customers of Samsung get lots of the brand in the amount equivalent to the price of the Note 7,” explains Jonathan, who evokes the pen of his device as a first argument to justify his desire to keep it. Samsung has left him a message asking him to turn off his phone and no longer use it, but he never called back since.

In a letter sent to its customers, the group notes, however, that the holders of the Note 7 has received “a variety of trade compensation for the share of Samsung Electronics uk limited and its distributors, partners or operators. A micro SD card of 128 Gb is provided as a supplement.

“Assume until the end”

beyond the mere refusal to return the phone, some put in place strategies to improve its performance and guard against any attempt of recovery on the part of Samsung. In order to limit the risk of explosion of its devices, the south Korean manufacturer has made it mandatory for an update limiting the battery charge to 60%. Tutorials are posted on Facebook to circumvent this obligation and maintain a capacity of maximum load.

A member of a security company said to have opted for the replacement of the original battery by a battery the chinese, for about 50 euros. He anticipates the disabling remote devices, rumor spread about of Note 7 and denied by Samsung. “I changed the OS of the device with Android pure.” Before declaiming an ode to his phone. “I love everything about the Note 7, its large screen and its power.”

It is in spite of everything, happy end. Fabien received a prompt refund of the part of Orange in nearly 10 days, without being obliged to return his phone. “Given that my copy works perfectly, no overheating, and this same support, I can wait and in the meantime the S8 or the Edge of the next Note. If it were to burn, the damage would be, of course, for my apple. It is necessary to bear until the end”, he explains. Beyond a certain period of time, for the time being difficult to estimate precisely, and in the event of spontaneous combustion, it will be more possible to make a claim against the manufacturer.

Samsung has filed an initial recall procedure from 19 September. Other explosions have occurred, on replacement models that were deemed “safe”. The group has from the October 11, chose to stop the production and repatriate all copies of this model, is 4.3 million phones. The investigation is ongoing to determine the causes of such a technical problem. This fiasco trade was expected to impact on the brand image of Samsung, which place the security of its devices at the heart of its concerns.
