Samsung’s latest Note 7 battery fix violates Android compatibility docs

Samsung has issued another update on the explosive Galaxy Note 7 situation, this time informing consumers how they can differentiate fixed devices from unfixed devices. Through a software update, Samsung says it is going to give non-explosive Note 7s a green battery icon, giving people a quick way to tell a Note 7 is no longer dangerous. There’s just one problem with the green battery icon: it’s against the rules.
