Sep 27, 2016 at 0:11 comment added The Wandering Coder It is banned for use in flight in Japan too. The reason ANA (among others) gave was that it has had a tendency to explode/have flames start shooting out of it.
Sep 26, 2016 at 14:53 comment added motoDrizzt Uhmmm...where the "User didn't even take the effort to spend 10 seconds on google" downvote reason has gone? :-O
Sep 26, 2016 at 14:46 comment added Fattie FYI .. aviation.stackexchange.com/questions/31821/…

Sep 25, 2016 at 8:57 comment added AStopher @JoeBlow It's been an international news item for several weeks now, but if what you say is true it does suggest that the whole 'people with note 7s are idiots if they continue to use them' lobby is incorrect.
Sep 24, 2016 at 14:00 comment added Lightness Races in Orbit @JoeBlow: "US TV news is not top of mind for everyone" It's not "US TV news"; this has been a headline story across the entire world for several weeks.
Sep 24, 2016 at 0:19 comment added hippietrail I first read this as "Why is the Samsung Galaxy Note7 burned in flight?"

Sep 23, 2016 at 15:41 comment added Fiksdal JoeBlow: HNQ stands for Hot Network questions, they get advertised to tens of thousands of active users all across the SE network, most of whom can vote up but not down. It's not a big deal, I just pointed it out and responded due to the accusations towards me and @davidricherby. Again no big deal. Yes, a lot of questions (including some of my own) show little or no research, but this one stuck out to me as a rather striking and extreme example. Again no big deal, I was just noting it. Preliminary esearch is a cornerstone of good SE questions.
Sep 23, 2016 at 15:14 comment added User1 Could this be one of the reasons?
Sep 23, 2016 at 15:00 comment added Fiksdal Also, it's not possible to close this question. Lack of research is a close reason on some sites, (like ELU), but not here. It is, however, an official downvote reason on all sites.
Sep 23, 2016 at 14:55 comment added Fiksdal Joe, I think it's unreasonable of you to suggest that @DavidRicherby and I have "intense, strong anger". We merely pointed out calmly and politely that this question shows zero research, which is true. Regarding "the votes go against us", most of the thousands of HNQ visitors here have 101 rep, so they cannot downvote even if they want to. This is a well known problem with the HNQ. As it says in the linked discussion: Out of thousands of viewers a couple of dozens will vote, (but not down) so the score represents neither TSE nor SE as a whole.
Sep 23, 2016 at 12:06 comment added Willeke I had that same warning on a UK/NL flight, so I assume it is spreading in Europe as well.
Sep 23, 2016 at 12:02 comment added David Richerby @JoeBlow I've not watched TV news in years and I still knew. But that's irrelevant: when you got off the plane, you could have used whatever device you posted your question here with to Google for the answer first.

Sep 23, 2016 at 11:43 comment added Fattie hi @CMaster - good question, the answer is simple: I was traveling. US TV news is not top of mind for everyone.

Sep 23, 2016 at 9:24 comment added Fiksdal @CMaster Yeah. And "This question does not show any research effort" (as hovering over the downvote button says.) Googling "samsung banned flights" answers this very quickly. Aspects of this question are interesting, but at present it shows zero research.
Sep 23, 2016 at 7:48 comment added CMaster How had you not heard about this?

Sep 23, 2016 at 5:25 comment added Michael Hudson @MichaelHampton I completely agree! In the same way they don't allow people to take bombs on planes - I'd feel a lot safer knowing the plane I'm flying on wasn't carrying any exploding phones either...

Sep 23, 2016 at 1:48 comment added Michael Hampton I'm surprised they didn't ban them from being transported on the plane at all.
Sep 23, 2016 at 1:29 comment added Giorgio And as a comment, since the list keeps growing by the day of aviation authorities in countries banning the use: the United States, Australia, Singapore, the UAE, Pakistan, the Philippines, India
Sep 23, 2016 at 0:05 comment added djechlin They don't allow hoverboards either.
