Samsung, working with consumer safety agencies in South Korea, the US, and China, has temporarily halted production of the Galaxy Note 7 smartphone after reports that replacement devices have caught fire, Yonhap News reported.

US phone carriers AT&T and T-Mobile have stopped selling the phone and are not issuing replacement Note 7s for previously sold phones, the Wall Street Journal reported. Both carriers are instead offering refunds or different devices in exchange for returned Note 7s.

Last month, Samsung issued a global recall of 2.5 million Note 7s, including 1 million in the US, after a number of reports that the phones&; batteries were overheating and causing them to explode. The electronics manufacturer offered replacement phones to buyers with defective ones, but some users reported that even these burst into flames as well.

The Note 7 hit the market on Aug. 19, but faced a recall in the US less than a month later on Sept. 15 after nearly 100 reports of the devices catching fire or exploding, some with dramatic results. Replacement phones arrived in the US on Sept. 21 but were met with resistance after a Southwest Airlines flight was grounded because of a smoking Note 7.

Samsung has lost $25 billion in market value due to the multiple failures of the Note 7. Recall costs, estimated at $1 billion, are also adding to the company&039;s financial woes.

Samsung did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Docker Weekly Roundup | October 2, 2016

 

This week, our readers enjoyed some big news, including the release of InfraKit, a toolkit for declarative infrastructure, a Windows 10 container guide, and a new open source project Image2Docker. As we begin a new week, let’s recap our top 5 most-read stories for the week of October 2, 2016:

InfraKit is a new declarative management toolkit for orchestrating infrastructure. InfraKit’s simple, pluggable components for a declarative infrastructure state, actively monitor and automatically reconcile that state.

Windows Server Container guide is designed to get setup to run Docker Windows Containers on Windows 10 or using a Windows Server 2016 VM.

Docs Repo On GitHub is a consolidation of all Docker documentation into a single Pages-based repository on GitHub. All documentation for Docker projects will now be open sourced for an easier than ever way to contribute to and stage the public docs.

Image2Docker is a new tool for prototyping Windows VM conversions to show how to replicate a VM Image to a container. The Powershell module can point at a virtual hard disk image, scan for common Windows components and suggest a Dockerfile.

Docker Compose Story is a tool for defining and running your multi-container Docker applications. Applications can be defined in a YAML file where all options used in `docker run` are now defined, and allows users to manage applications as a single entity versus individual containers by Ajeet Raina.
