How to brick your $960.00 Galaxy Note 8...
Let the battery run down until it is fully discharged. When you go to recharge, it won't charge and it is bricked. Apparently the solution is return it to Samsung and get a refurb unit back.
At least Apple saves the phone versus bricking it. Another hard computer science problem...
From AI: Samsung advises customers affected by the problem or with questions about their Note 8 to contact the company directly. Samsung community forum posts indicate some users are receiving replacement devices under warranty, with company representatives also collecting information about the problematic handsets.
