Smartphone giant Samsung has reportedly stopped production of its Note 7 phone amid claims that replacement devices still have critical battery issues. Reuters and South Korea's Yonhap news agency cited unnamed officials claiming the company had temporarily halted its Galaxy Note 7 production lines. Samsung told the BBC it was "adjusting the production schedule to ensure quality and safety matters".

It comes after the AT&T and T-Mobile networks in the US said they would no longer replace the devices, while the latter said it would halt all sales of the phone. "While Samsung investigates multiple reports of issues, T-Mobile is temporarily suspending all sales of the new Note 7 and exchanges for replacement Note 7 devices," T-Mobile said on its website.

Meanwhile, AT&T said: "We're no longer exchanging new Note 7s at this time, pending further investigation of these reported incidents." It advised customers to exchange them for other devices.

They made sure to say during the safety briefing to keep those Note 7s off during the flight.

I hope the carriers are letting customers get other phones.
