When you say the brand is shown, what do you mean? Like have you bought it already? Have you registered it?

It's pretty easy to fake packaging, and I'm not sure, but often registration doesn't mean anything - unless they use a real serial number there's no assurance with registration.

Not saying the seller is even trying to rip people off (though it's possible of course), he might have bought them bulk and didn't realize they are fakes.

I'm always leery of buying electronics like that, that are easy to fake, off a Chinese eBay seller.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] sauron0101:
Quick question, what is the model number for the Wind Mobile version of the Note 4? Is it very similar to the American T Mobile model number or is it different this time around?

Or is it best to get an unlocked version to use on Wind?

It doesn't look like a 64gb version will be available for use here in Canada unless they sell an unlocked 64gb version.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] nabobcoffee:
Based on my experience with eBay when the seller specify the brand is xyz then it is and should be xyz or else they are band from eBay. Notice other sellers don't mention the brand rather than they say it's either compatible with or don't even mention the brand. That said if it turns out to be fake the seller is obliged to give me back my money or paypal will claim it back for me.

I have purchased orignal stuff and fake stuff and always knew before hand what I am getting.

I don't have any knowledge if Kijiji is selling an original one or not but in Kijiji you can say what you like. This is not the same with eBay.

Also one more thing this is the older version of the micro sd 30/mbs the newer version is 48/mbs. So that might be the reason the price is low.

How does the warranty work if I buy it on PDAPlaza??

Can I just bring it into a Samsung store when problems occur?:confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 General] EP2008:
Their terms and conditions states:

" Manufacturer Warranty it is for 12 months. First (one) month from PDA Plaza, the next 11 months only from the manufacturer."
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ToyMusha:
yup, so we'll have to bring it to Samsung after the first month.

Just want to make sure the warranty can be done at Samsung Canada as Samsung does not do international warranty.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] EP2008:
I'm assuming that Sammy Canada will NOT accept the N910U under warranty. Haven't looked at Sammy's terms.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hpacura:
Samsung Canada does NOT honor warranty for international version phone
[Galaxy Note 4 General] cillerbee:
So if you were to have to go through the warranty process would you have to ship it across? Or does it mean no Warranty period?
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hpacura:
They told me to contact the Samsung Global Services center but i didn't bother to do so because my note 3 is still working fine (my issue with the note 3 is cosmetic only, the plastic trim right below the volume rocker broken so now there is a hold for ventilation ... lol). So yes looks like you have to ship it across for warranty
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ToyMusha:
The SM-N910U version is from Hong Kong.

It will probably be super complicated when shipping it across for repair... It'd be easier to just go to HK and have it repair this way...:eek:

I think I'll hold on for a bit and get the Canadian version later:(

How do you contact the Samsung Global Services center??
[Galaxy Note 4 General] an_xda:
Welp, looks like the other carriers will most likely follow Bell and release the phone next month. 2 months to market after announcement is not that bad, I guess.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Squirrel_Master:
You can't beat taxes (unless you live in Alberta like me, $840 total cost) but why would they charge you for a month of service? If you're a Bell customer on a post paid plan isn't that enough? Also if you live near a Samsung store you could have bought it outright for $920 assuming you live in the higher taxed provinces. This is more a question for those looking to import, do not have access to a Samsung store, and use Bell. If you're happy with your phone that's all that matters.

Bell is releasing it this month on the 24th according to their website, not next month. I still question the 17th as the actual release. I've read of two different people saying a Bell store told them the 17th when they were pre-ordering this weekend. I'll call a Bell store tomorrow to satisfy my curiosity.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] ToyMusha:
Bell will have it this week for sure, but isn't it tires with a contract??

I've heard people will not be able to buy it outright in like 2,3 months...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Squirrel_Master:
Aside from Samsung stores (which sell outright day one) it really depends on stores in your area. One Best Buy told me they wouldn't sell phones outright at all (even after 3 months) which is hilarious because they post the outright costs beside the phones. I think he was clueless. A few independent stores have told me yes or no regarding a waiting period and when I asked which other phones have the waiting period they always tell me Apple is the only company that enforces it (so you buy directly from them). Very YMMV, Samsung needs to get their act together and make it easier to buy unlocked phone.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] hpacura:
I went to the Samsung Service Center on Mavis & Britannia in Mississauga. The service rep will give you the number to call (I threw it away). The service center is willing to help but they can't open a service work order because they scanned the bar code (in the battery compartment) on the international version phone and it came up as error/empty, basically the international version is not registered in the local database.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] EP2008:
I don't live close enough to a Samsung Store to bother and I'm not a Bell customer (I'm with Virgin). In order for me to get the phone outright from Bell, I'd have to get on a plan, then cancel it, but I'd lose the first month.

Doesn't matter, since they don't sell the Exynos version anyways.... should have my device in a few hours!
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Squirrel_Master:
I still don't see anything from Samsung's website however here is a press release stating Oct. 24 as the official Canadian release day.

You're kidding about eBay right? The seller has 22 feedbacks if he gets suspended big deal open another account tomorrow different name

I bought a Zipp Bicycle handlebar from eBay....the seller has a business selling counterfeit stuff. Bar looked great however no serial number

(All Zipp products have serial numbers) When I asked about it he gave me a story about being OEM and overstock.... RIGHT......

eBay just lets counterfeiters sell internationally........bottom line....if it's too cheap to believe.....don't believe it

Yeah I would not take the risk. So many knock-offs. I just went with the Samsung 32GB Evo for $20. I doubt I will ever take the card out of the phone so no need for the higher speed.

so just playing around with my device (its locked to rogers) and i type in *#0011# and i noticed the LTE band i am on is 4... which is 1700..

the bands supported on this device include band 17... does it switch according to which tower ur closest too? i am in a Band 17 area (downtown Toronto) and i've never seen 700mhz...

unless what i read today is right that the Nexus 6 will be the only device that use LTE-A

Aw lame my Asus N66U high priced very common 2.4 Ghz / 5 Ghz B, G, N, A router... Bought a brand new Archer C2 from TP-Link just to be sure and still poor speeds. Must be its fault considering the Note3, Note, 2, SII, Some crappy galaxy Ace 2x all get better speeds.

Right? Must be the router...

Not sure how to enable / force CA, but you can try to force your phone onto 700 Mhz to see if there is even reception by dialing *#2263#.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] johentie:
seems like it worked...

now i do 0011 it shows me CONN Band: 17 BW: 5MHz
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Idan73:
I forced CA a while ago, since rogers announcement, basically, now instead of disabled, now it says not configured in 0011 menu. Which leads to conclusion that were due for firmware update with config in modem. Will keep an eye on this when we get next update.

So yeah, right now only nexus6 is ca capable out of the box.

Note 4 available for $ 640

Just bought an unlocked Note 4 for $640 plus tax at Consumers Distributing !
[Galaxy Note 4 General] 2xbass:
It is very confusing. From my research the SM-N910W8 and SM-N910T support the same bands. I believe it's quad-band for 3G - 850/1700/1900/2100 and I believe that for LTE, the W8 actually supports one more band. The T supports 700/850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100 while the W8 also supports 2600.

What I can say for sure is this: Apparently all Canadian carriers carry the W8 model. I bought one on Bell a few days ago. I tried another SIM in it and confirmed it was locked to Bell. After activating by making a call with my Bell SIM for at least five minutes (apparently this is the procedure) I bought an unlock code and then tried both a T-Mobile SIM as well as an Australian Vodafone SIM proving that the phone was now not only unlocked but not region/continent locked as some people have erroneously reported the phones might be.

All good.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Idan73:
Canadian model is not region locked and never was, for any Sammy phone. At least so far. That is not to say that Sammy might not change policy and suddenly started region locking, mid product cycle, via firmware, like they did in europe and s4.

Call forwarding with Rogers

I added call forwarding (extra $3) to my plan. Went to the phone app - setting - call - more settings - call forwarding - selected forward when unanswered and entered the number to forward to - get an error message saying "Error Unexpected response from network" Any ideas?

[Galaxy Note 4 General] greatg:
Tried that get the following message " Call forwarding connection problem or invalid MMI code., when no reply for all basic services"
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Idan73:
Rogers does not support conditional call forwarding (they haven't for at least past 10 years) , so the feature is useless to you, unless you can be satisfied with unconditional. I can't. Fido supports conditional, but only if you don't have voicemail from Fido. They made it like that a year after Rogers bought them (so at least 5 years).

That is how I use it. Having North American calling, with Google voice has its perks, plus call forwarding as it was intended. If you don't have Nam calling but have unlimited Canadian, you can use twango (formerly freephoneline) as a voicemail in gmail, and have proper forwarding (Fido only, without Fido voicemail, of course).

Forward all should work for you ☺

Versions that work in Canada

Hi everyone... been searching for some time. Finding conflicting reports online...

What versions work in Canada (with LTE). I'm with FIDO. Does the 910C work in Canada? Some reports indicate that LTE might not work...

Anyone knows for sure? Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] Brava27:
Just get the Canadian version. Offers better reseale value, guaranteed lte on all providers etc...
[Galaxy Note 4 General] virtuatony:
I have the 910C on SaskTel I can confirm it supports AWS LTE, not sure about other bands.

Product pages say it supports LTE 700/800/850/900/1700/1800/1900/2100/2600

(Bands 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 17, 20)

Which is a lot more than the North American Note 4. Good if you travel.

You should know that if you bought one you'd have no warranty in Canada and apparently Samsung repair shops here will not repair it if you have trouble.

Canadian S5 also supports 9 bands, so is equally world friendly. Cept that it does not have band 12, so technically one lte band less, for 700 low spectrum in Canada, which you can barely find anyways, although that might change with Rogers, as they bought the biggest bulk of that.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] Idan73:
4g is lte. You have 910c and it is the proper nomenclature for lte before North American providers screwed with it.

You can flash Canadian fido csc. Do the footwork yourself. Or live with the knowledge that 4g is lte on your phone, h+ is 4g, 3g is 3g, edge is edge, and g is g.

Do not wish to come out as rude, but really, with 910c, you are asking in wrong thread. It has everything to do with what phone you have and should seek answers in your phone sections, threads. Other than waving to Canadians, you will not find much help here, cept with like one other user that has same phone in Canada and is on this forum and watching this section. In that case direct pm might be better option.

Just if anyone else is following this: followed the guide in the Starkissed thread. After installing the rom reboot into recovery, flash the kernel, clear cache and dalvik, fix permissons (not sure if necessary) and reboot. Should be good to go.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] shaggyskunk:
Your very welcome - I couldn't remember if Dynamic Kat automatically detected your device and applied the correct script.

That being said - If you're getting a loop - It would make more sense to flash the Rom & Kernel in the same recovery session - Rather than trying to boot back into recovery when you're getting a loop ;)

Dynamic Kat is an awesome Rom - You're going to love it ☺

Hey fellow Canadians. I just made a discovery yesterday I thought I would share. I had to remove my battery while troubleshooting. To my surprise I noticed a it had both SM-910W8 and SM910T coded under the battery. I think this proves our device's compatibility with T-Mobile Roms. Just thought I would share.

I also highly recommend both firekat and dynamic Kat, the former being closer to stock and the latter being more customizable.

Have the latest updates to stock for Canadians made it pretty fast? I found when I got mine in Oct it was really slow so I've been using Dynamic Kat.

It seems different regions/carriers are all getting updates at different times to which is strange.

From what I can tell, we haven't gotten the update yet aaaaaand I wouldn't hold my breath that its coming any time soon.

Had anyone had tinting issues with their screen? I have a VERY slight red tint when viewing straight on. Stupid me read Telus's site that said 30 days when that only applies to online orders and I was at 21 days. I've sent the phone in once and they did literally nothing except wipe the device. I'm going to send it again but I wonder if Samsung will do anything. I love the phone otherwise but the display is pissing me off.

I didn't change anything - And flashing a Rom shouldn't touch your Baseband or IMEI Ever!

I have seen instances where a bad kernel flash has messed up the Baseband - Just make a Nandroid BEFORE you do anything - As soon as I've flashed TWRP - I make a Nandroid of the stock Rom.
[Galaxy Note 4 General] 2trainz:
So all you really did to flash A T Mobile ROM, was Back up, Factory Reset, Delete Cache, Flash Room, Flash Kernel, Reboot?

What Kernel did you use? and so Should I completely ignore the CSC/IMEI step on the Canadian Root/Custom Recovery thread?

Thanks a lot!!
