Is this the battery or charging interface? Was it just a bad USB-C implementation?

> Koh Dong-jin, chief of Samsung Electronics’ handset division, said on Sept. 2 that the Galaxy 7 incidents were caused by a flaw in the battery cell and had nothing to do with the phone itself.

So, the article answers that.

Don't know about who you responded to, but wsj is paywalled for me. I can read just a little over 4 lines.

There's the web link below the link that is usually pretty reliable for getting through the pay wall. Though I've had it fail a couple times, mostly at work I think.

Yeah...the "web" link didn't work from work, and I tried Google manually when I got home. I tend to forget the little tricks, because a paywall article is usually an insta-close. I've got a few friends with Note 7's though, talking big about how it's not going to affect them.

You can search the title on Google and click to view the article from Google.

The little "cache" arrow doesn't show up, and clicking on the link itself has the same issue.

This is from a few months ago, but it seems to apply here (at least for me): http://digiday.com/publishers/wall-street-journal-paywall-go...
