Been searching and reading dozens of articles about N7 recall, all repeat same story, none explains what the actual problem is. Only one mentioned something about thermal mismanagement causing thermal runaway during charge. Why would that info be important? Because if lets say some batteries don't detect battery temp properly during charge, allowing it to overheat and causing reactions to create more heat until fire (runaway effect), then temporary fix would be trivial, until replacements arrive don't use fast charge, keep the phone in cool place during charge (for example laptop cooling pad), maybe dont let it get too hot while playing games. If there is physical fault, like weak separator causing internal short etc, then avoiding fast charge may not be enough to protect the phone from fire. Also, did we have at least one problem reported in US, or is it certain markets only, like Korea? Also it seems Korean batteries are mostly the culprit, not the Chinese, which would be contrary to popular belief that Chines or Vietnam made phones are inferior. Don't seem like replacement phones will come for at least another 2 weeks and some detailed info would be helpful to asses actual risks and separate it from hysteria.
