Samsung is turning to software to try and quell the simmering scandal over the Galaxy Note7’s exploding batteries.
According to an AP report (http://bigstory.ap.org/article/2778369281b249c2bc4b9a6eb6044163/reports-samsung-quick-fix-note-7-no-full-recharge), Samsung will be issuing an update that will cap charging to 60 percent of the battery’s capacity. This is primarily a stopgap measure designed to keep more phones from catching fire until the company can churn out enough replacements. Samsung has pledged to swap out-all 2.5 million Note7 units sold (http://www.greenbot.com/article/3119205/android/official-recall-for-exploding-galaxy-note-7-phones-coming-samsung-and-us-confirm.html).
