Samsung to restrict Note 7's battery capacity at 60 percent

Samsung has declared it is developing a software update for its remembered Galaxy Note 7 smartphone which will restrict the device's battery capacity at 60 percent. The firm anticipates it will discontinue the recent deluge of battery explosions due to overheating.

In the 12 days since Samsung recalled 2.5 million of its Note 7 mobile phones over batteries overheating and bursting, US cellphone providers have suspended their sales of the cellphone and the Federal Aviation Administration began "strongly advising" folks not to take the Note 7 cellphone on planes. So far there have been more than 70 cases of the mobile overheating problems in the US.

The beginning of Samsung's chief Galaxy Note 7 hasn't gone especially readily. After being named cellular telephone of the year by many, the firm has had to recall 2.5 million handsets due to battery explosions. Owners can return their apparatus to get a free replacement but not everyone has participated in the program. To help protect these users, Samsung is developing a software update designed to prevent the affected device from overheating during charging.

Samsung advertised the coming upgrade in a newspaper advertisement in South Korea now. Based on the Associated Press, the ad described the programs fix as "a measure to put consumer safety first." After installed, the Note 7 will be prevented from charging to capacities above 60 percent. While it's going to significantly reduce the smartphone's endurance, it may also lower the risk of the apparatus overheating during charging.

Samsung is advertising a release date of September 20 for its South Korean users. It'sn't at present clear if the upgrade will be rolling out worldwide or whether it will be needed. Note 7 owners may simply drop the patch to continue to fully charge their cellular telephones. Samsung is reported to be in communication with mobile carriers to give the upgrade a more extensive rollout. It must ensure no Note 7 is ever fully billed.

The upgrade is being viewed as a last ditch effort by Samsung to convince Note 7 owners to comprehend the severity of the problem. The recall strategy is now well underway but many owners remain reluctant to return their cellular telephone. Over the weekend, Samsung released an updated statement in which it motivated all Note 7 users to "quickly" participate in the recall. Chances are that some apparatus will not ever be handed back in, yet.

Samsung is rumored to be developing another software fix to handle these mobile problem. It is considered to be creating a patch that can make affected Note 7 handsets disabled, leaving them unusable.

Samsung's increased pressure on owners comes amid official protection warnings from airlines and consumer health groups, directing users to turn their cell phones away as soon as possible. Yesterday, a six-year old boy was injured when a Note 7 explosion in his hands, the latest in a long line of promised overheating instances.

The scale of the recall is stressing Samsung's support network, leaving service centers and retailers fighting to care for the waves of the apparatus being handed in. To apologize to its staff, Samsung is said to have delivered free pizza to carrier shops and handset retailers in South Korea now. It'sn't yet compensated its customers or people injured by their cellular telephone, however.

It is unknown whether restricting the Note's battery capability to 60 percent is enough to ensure it stays exploding. With the issue more centered on heat than charge duration, it's possible a device could still catch fire if being fast charged, wirelessly charged or used significantly. The move is more another effort by Samsung to convince owners to register for a replacement cellular telephone, helping it to get the dangerous apparatus out of use.

Samsung is seemingly going to start sending new cellular telephones in South Korea on September 19th and began an exchange system in the US earlier this month. Replacement mobiles in the US will be indicated with a blue S on the carton.

Historical Olympic Highlights from the 2016 Rio Olympic Games

With more than 11,000 sportsmen from 205 countries around the world competing in 42 different sports, this year’s 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil are specific to be entertaining. As sportsmen fight for the gold, keep up with highlights from the games. Here are the top highlights from the 2016 Rio Olympics.

Olympic history was made ten times over at the 2016 Rio Olympics. And the said Olympic is still on-going so we can anticipate tons of historical highlights in few more days. The Rio Olympics has scheduled its historical final service on August 21, 2016, at 6:00 PM.

MICHAEL PHELPS FOUR CONSECUTIVE GOLD MEDALIST IN ONE OCCASION

Michael Phelps has proven himself to be the greatest swimmer of all time — and perhaps the greatest athletes ever. He’s broken so many records, including his own records, in Rio that gold medal performances are expected.

We no longer want to wait with baited breath to see if Phelps will break the world record or come in first in his races, we presume he'll.

Despite the acquaintance with Phelps’ record breaking performances, these Olympics have been anything but boring. Thursday night, in what may very well have been his last race against teammate and rival (or at least as close to a contest as the GOAT can have), Phelps defeat Ryan Lochte soundly in the 200m individual medley. Once again Phelps has written his name in the history books, earning his 22nd career gold medal and fourth gold medal in Rio Olympics.

With last night’s win he also became the first swimmer to earn four consecutive gold medals in one occasion. He also became one of only three American sportsmen to win an individual event four times, along with track and field Olympians Al Oerter and Carl Lewis.

Like that wasn’t enough, Phelps also beat an early Olympic record, surpassing Leonidas of Rhodes’ 12 man Olympic titles with a 13th individual gold medal. Leonidas won his title over four Olympics (Rio is Phelps’ fifth), earning his last three titles in the 152 BCE Olympics– a 200m race, a 400m race, and a shield-taking race.

At 31 years old, Phelps says Rio will be his last Olympic performance, fair enough considering he’s already the first American man to make five Olympic swim teams. Last night he told reporters he was proud to have finished out his Olympic career in this way, saying, The biggest thing for me through the meet so far is I’ve been able to conclude how I needed to.” But who knows, Phelps might be back; after all, Leonidas won his 12th man Olympic title at age 36.

PHELPS ENDURES SHOCK DEFEAT BY SCHOOL, SINGAPORE’S FIRST OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST

Perhaps it had to happen at some point, but it was still shocking when it did. Michael Phelps’s winning streak at Rio 2016 came to a surprise ending on Friday (12 August) night time when 21-year old Joseph Schooling won Singapore’s first Olympic gold medal with victory in the 100m butterfly. Phelps, who’d already won four golds in Rio, was one of three men to finish joint second: Chad Le Clos, Laszlo Cseh, and Phelps shared the silver medal. Social media caught fire after the result, with old images posted of Education jointly with Phelps took in 2008 when Education met Phelps in Singapore.

School was in a state of unbelief when he spoke to reporters soon after. “I 'm sorry if I don't seem like I'm full of emotions but I don't comprehend what to consider – that I actually did it or I'm still preparing for my race,” he said. “I 'm between the two of them.”

SIMONE MANUEL BROKE OLYMPIC RECORD

But Phelps’ performance wasn’t the only record breaking swim of the night. American swimmer Simone Manuel broke the Olympic record in the girls’ 100m freestyle race and became the first African American woman to win an individual event in Olympic swimming.

She told reporters the victory was bigger than herself: “It’s a whole group of folks that came before me and have been an inspiration to me,” she said. “It’s for all the people after me, who consider they can’t do it. And I simply are interested in being an inspiration to others you could do it.”

IT WAS ANOTHER EXHILARATING NIGHT TIME IN THE POOL.

Britain’s Jazz Carlin fixed her second silver of the Olympics in the girls’s 800m freestyle, as American Katie Ledecky soared to her fourth Rio gold. Katie Ledecky enhanced her rate year in, year out.

Singapore’s Joseph Schooling won his state’s first gold medal with victory in the 100m butterfly as Michael Phelps was denied a 23rd Olympic title. Phelps was one of three men to finish joined second and said after this would be his last Olympics.

Anthony Ervin, a gold medallist in 2000 who spent several years away from the sport, became the first ever Olympic swimming champion – winning the 50m freestyle at the age of 35.

Manuel tied with Penny Oleksiak of Canada who won her fourth medal of the Olympics, the most medals won by a Canadian at an person Summer Olympics. At just 16 years old, Oleksiak also became the youngest Canadian gold medalist in Olympic history (Winter or Summer Olympics).

But that wasn’t the only Olympic history made Thursday night. The Fiji men’ rugby sevens team won Fiji’s first Olympic gold medal with a vital 43-7 victory against Great Britain.

SIMONE BILES BECAME FOURTH STRAIGHT AMERICAN FEMALE TO WIN GOLD

Additionally, Simone Biles and the American women’ gymnastics team continued to preserve their dominance. Biles took gold in the individual all around competitions and teammate Aly Raisman took silver. Biles became the fourth straight American female to win gold in the individual all around, winning by 2.1 points, a larger border of achievement than in the preceding nine Olympics joined.

But Biles’ success was expected; Aly Raisman went into the individual all-around fighting for silver. Raisman says she realized Biles would win gold, “Merely because she wins every single competition.”

Last night Biles also became the first girl in twenty years– and the first American girl ever– to hold the World Championship and Olympic all-around titles concurrently.

But Biles still has more Olympic history to make. If Biles earns one more Olympic gold medal she’ll become the most decorated American Olympic gymnast ever. Two more gold medals in Rio? She’ll tie for most gold medals won by a female gymnast in only one Olympic game. Three more and she’ll break that record.

Biles has three staying Olympic events, vault, balance beam, and– her forte– flooring. And there’s no reason to believe she won’t win gold in all them. She’s, quite simply, among the finest female gymnasts ever, if not the greatest of all time. All that’s left is to demonstrate it.

Biles will compete in the finals for the vault at 1:46 pm ET on Sunday, August 14th, followed by the balance beam final at 2:46 pm ET on Monday. Eventually, she’s going to go for her 5th gold medal on Tuesday, August 16th at 1:47 pm ET.

The legend of Simone Biles will only grow as the Rio Olympics goes on and gymnastics competition wraps up.

HIGH PLAY IN THE HEPTATHLON

EnnisHill has only a 72-point edge on Belgium’s Nafissatou Thiam in second, with Johnson Thompson only 100 points adrift.

Johnson Thompson cleared 1.98m – a new British high jump record – to top the leaderboard after two events in the heptathlon but dropped to sixth after a disappointing shot put.

EnnisHill threw a under-best 13.86m, while Johnson Thompson could only manage 11.68m before winning the 200m ahead of her compatriot.

Jo Pavey, 42, finished 15th in the girls’s 10,000m as Ethiopia’s Almaz Ayana smashed the world record by 14 seconds.

In shooting, Amber Hill, 18, went out of the girls’s skeet in the semifinals.

ROWERS POLISH ON LAGOA RODRIGO

World champions Glover and Stanning, who won Britain’s first gold of the London Olympics, led from the start and finished 1.2 seconds clear of New Zealand in a time of seven minutes 18.29 seconds.

The pair is unbeaten in 39 races, a run that stretches back five years.

Glover said: “The pressure was enormous. London was a house Olympics and there was nothing more specific but this is defending a title – it means so much.”

In the guys’s four, Sbihi, Nash, Louloudis and London 2012 winner Gregory defeat Australia in a time of five minutes 58.61 seconds.

It was Britain’s fifth consecutive Olympic title in the occasion after victories in Sydney, Athens, Beijing and London.

Brothers Gary and Paul O’Donovan won rowing silver in the lightweight guys’s double sculls to give Ireland their first medal of the Olympics.

EMPTY SEATS AS SPORTS STARTING

In contrast to the jam packed stands and noisy feeling, that greeted day one of track and field at London 2012, bunches at the Estadio Olimpico were thin.

Coordinators say 58% of available tickets were sold for day one of the sport.

“we're not disappointed. Without heroes and local sportsmen, the folks takes more to fall in love with track and field,” said Rio spokesman Mario Andrada.

WORLD RECORD SMASHED

Ethiopian star Ayana obliterated the 10,000m world record in the opening track event of the Olympics.

She took nearly 14 seconds off the previous mark with her time of 29 minutes 17.45 seconds – getting the better of the 29:31.78 create by China’s Wang Junxia in 1993.

Pavey, the first British track athlete to compete in a fifth Olympic Games, said: “I found it rough out there. I’m so honoured to have competed at my fifth Olympics, but in fact, I'm becoming old.”

Britain’s Michael Rimmer qualified for the 800m semifinals, behind defending champ David Rudisha, who won their heat in 1:45.09.

AWAY FROM THE ACTION

China’s Chen Xinyi became the first swimmer to fail a doping test at the Rio Olympics.

Poland’s Olympic weightlifting champion Adrian Zielinski joined brother Tomasz in being sent home after testing positive for nandrolone.

Work has began on returning the water in the dive pool to its original blue colour after it went green.

Britain’s Tom Daley challenged why the Maria Lenk Aquatics Centre was close on Friday for training. Coordinators said the water must be still for the pool to return to its blue colour.

The Best Method To Enhance Your Chances Of Winning The Lottery

Winning the lottery may be great, life-changing happening. Imagine you had just won millions of dollars – What would you do with the cash?

All lottery winners are blessed, but some are more lucky than others. While most of us will not win the main prize, there is still a chance you could bag a significant windfall if a few of your numbers come up. And while we can not ensure a lottery win, there are some things you can do to increase your opportunities. We may additionally reveal you the finest way to increase your odds of winning big if your numbers do come through.

Comprehend your lucky numbers, and stick to them. If you’ve got lucky numbers that mean something to you (maybe the unique birthdays of your nearest and dearest or memorable dates) that you need to use on a weekly basis, by all means, do.

Certainly playing frequently will promote your opportunities to win. The other strategy would be to play less frequently, but when you do play, purchase more tickets – which will increase your chances for that special draw. Quite a few folks use this system and only play when the jackpot is particularly considerable.

Play numbers over 31 or using Quick Picks. This is a trick used by most expert lottery players. It'll not improve your chances of winning the lottery but, if you DO win, it’s likely to increase how much you win. Why? Studies reveal that most people play numbers based on specific days of the month including birthdays and anniversaries. So, by deciding numbers over 31 or using arbitrary Quick Picks, you'll reduce your chances of carving a big prize.

Although it does not have any mathematical value, specific sums DO come up more frequently than others in lottery draws. The top seven numbers to pop up since the National Lottery began in 1994 have been 23, 40, 44, 38, 30 and 33.Interestingly, the infamously unlucky number 13 has been drawn substantially less than other numbers in several important international lotteries.

Some consider time at which you purchase your lottery ticket is significant to whether or not you win your desired jackpot. Mathematically it shouldn't make a difference – but numbers do reveal that jackpot winners are inclined to purchase their tickets on Friday evenings.So it might be an idea to pick up your ticket the next time you're heading out to the pub after work!

Consider setting up a lottery syndicate with a group of friends or coworkers. By each of you putting up a little sum each week, you can multiply your likelihood of catching a jackpot and perhaps grow closer to your teammates in the process. It should come as no real surprise that most of the largest lottery jackpots of all time have been won by syndicates purchasing group tickets in volume, actually, it’s estimated that at least 1 out of every 7 $1 million lotto prizes are won by a syndicate.

Individuals are all too often inclined to forget that participating in lotteries is a kind of gaming. It can be addictive, and if played too frequently it could cost you a substantial sum of money. Contemplate your disposable income and other sorts and establish you a weekly or monthly budget for how much you should spend on scratch cards, lottery tickets, and lotto games. Not only will this help you sensibly balance your funds, it could also mean that any small wins you make on scratch cards are spent on something other than just more scratch cards!

Samsung Recalls Galaxy Note 7 Over Explosive Batteries

  
Samsung Electronics is recalling its primary Galaxy Note 7 smartphone and said that battery problems were behind the phone issue catching fire.

The decision follows reports in the US and South Korea of the cellular telephone “bursting” during or after phone battery charging. The South Korean company said customers who’d already bought the mobile would be able to swap it for a brand new one.

Samsung said it had been hard to work out which smartphones were switched among the 2.5 million Note 7s sold that causing the primary issue.

“There was a tiny issue in the production process, so it was really hard to figure out,” the president of Samsung’s cellular telephone business Koh Dong-jin told reporters.

“it'll cost us so much it makes my heart ache. However, the reason we made this choice is because what is most important is customer security,” he said.

The company said it’d take about two weeks to prepare replacement apparatus.

Based on Samsung, the cellular telephone has been found in 10 states so far but with different businesses supplying the batteries.

The recall comes just one week ahead of an anticipated demonstration of a brand new iPhone variant from its chief rival Apple. This is a fantastic choice for a technology giant to make based on so few reported episodes – Samsung says it’s aware of just 35 cases world-wide.

It is dreadful time so soon after a large product launch and especially given that Samsung’s competitor Apple is understood to be preparing to unveil a brand-new iPhone.

On the other hand, the firm says it’s discovered a problem with the battery cell and is preventing sales while it scrutinizes its suppliers.

People that have already bought the device – that's only accessible to preorder in the UK – will be issued with a replacement unit.

Narratives about bursting smartphone batteries do make the news from time to time – lithium ion batteries are flammable but quite extensively used especially on smartphones.


REPORTED ‘EXPLOSIONS’

Over recent days, several users have reported their cellular telephones catching fire or exploding while charging, and Samsung said it had verified 35 such instances.

A YouTube user uploaded a video under the name Ariel Gonzalez on 29th August about a Galaxy Note 7 with burnt rubber casing and damaged the display.

He said the handset “caught fire” right after he unplugged the official Samsung charger, less than a fortnight after buying it.

Additional images of a burned Galaxy Note 7 were uploaded to Kakao Story, a popular social media site in Korea, on 30th August.

A user wrote: “There was another explosion of the Galaxy Note 7. It was my buddy’s cellphone. A Samsung employee checked the site and he's currently in talks over the compensation with Samsung. You should use its original charger just in case and leave the phone far away from where you are while charging.”

FLAGSHIP MOBILE

The mobile was only created on 19th August and has since then been generally well-received by critics and consumers.

The Galaxy Note 7 variation is the latest of Samsung’s chain of so called phablets – smartphones with tremendous screens, sophisticated specs, and attributes.

Samsung also added an iris scanner to the Note 7, which lets users unlock the phone by discovering routines in the eyes. Additionally, its waterproof feature gets the focus of many smartphones users.

In July, Samsung surpasses expectations with record gains in the latest quarter with strong smartphone sales helping the company post its best quarterly endings in more than two years.

Samsung had called the continuing increase in demand for its smartphones and tablet computers in the second half of the year.

WHY DO LITHIUM BATTERIES EXPLODE?

There have just been 35 instances of the Galaxy Note 7 catching fire reported worldwide following 2.5 million sales, Samsung says.

The lithium ion batteries used by Samsung are common across the technology sector. If so, what makes them dangerous?

It truly is important that you just understand a bit about how they work. Only they comprise a cathode, an anode, and lithium. The cathode and anode are separated by an organic liquid called an electrolyte and a porous material called the separator. The lithium goes through the separator, within the liquid, between them both. If the battery charges exceedingly quick, creating heat, lithium plates from around the anode which can create a short circuit.
