[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fxneo84:
Hello guys,

I have been searching for people using 'C' version in Canada but I can only find people using 'U' version and they have low LTE signal issue. I would like to know if 'C' version works well in Canada. The reason I am looking for 'C' version is additional band 17 (700mhz) deployed by Rogers would help boost the signal.

Could anyone give any input please. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aw1195:
I recently purchased my Nexus 6 CW 32gb on November 28 @ 1:08 AM EST, and when I view my order on Google it says November 27th. The order confirmation email sent to me by Google says November 28th @ 1:08 AM EST, however I chatted with a Google support and they are not sure if I am eligible for this offer, but when I sent them my order confirmation email, they are just as confused as I am. Any suggestions? Should I contact another Google support representative?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Konikub:
Sure. Contact another one.

Aside from us telling you to....

A) Contact another Google representative

B) Don't contact another Google representative.

Google is the only one who can really help you.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelmar13:
According to the terms of the offer, you'll be given a promo code when the device ships assuming the order was within the correct time frame (which it appears to be).

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aw1195:
Yes this is exactly what I am confused about. According to Google, I ordered my device on Nov 27th, but according the my order confirmation for the device I ordered it on Nov 28th. I talked to a rep and they had no clue whether I am eligible or not..
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelmar13:
Who/how are they calling it the 27th?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aw1195:
Google is saying I order my device on the 27th.. When I go to view my orders on the play store, the date says Nov 27th.. You can see that in the attachment above.. BUT in my order confirmation email sent to me by Google, it clearly says Nov 28th @ 1:08 AM EST.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ebrown205:
Could be a result of the time zone difference (assuming youre not pacific time)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kelmar13:
Got it. I couldn't see the other attachment from my phone. :(

Can you just cancel and reorder (not sure when the deadline to order is)?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aw1195:
I got it figured out. I contacted another Google support rep, and they reassured me that I did order in time for the special.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] polish_pat:
Hey guys,

I had a gear 2 when the S5 same out, i liked it but i was a bit disappointed for the lack of apps. I get it, Tizen is a niche, but the watch was actually pretty good...but i still sold it because i needed a little extra cash. Now I have a Note 4, and i have some extra cash, plus i can get my hand on one for 50$ brand new on cyber Monday...i will get it, but my question is, how has the watch changed since i sold mine in July? Do you guys think Samsung is taking care of their product or has it been abandoned? Have any devs actually made some great apps to see your social network feed on the watch? Last time i checked, it was almost impossible to see your facebook and twitter timeline. And when it was possible, it was with a lot of give ups.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] icon123:
Sorry I can't answer your question, but where is it available for $50?
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] polish_pat:
Canada. You have to be a Rogers customer
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] ksoze:
Up in Ontario Canada, Rogers has a similar promotion - but you need to also purchase and activate a Samsung phone - on a 2 year contract.

They do have the Gear 2 Neo for $99 - free shipping. You do not need to be a Rogers Customer and purchases can be made online.

Promotion runs until tomorrow.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] polish_pat:
Since i bought my note 4 quite recently, i got retention to give me the neo for 50$, also after mentioning the 'launch day activation problems" they had helped me get my activation fees waived.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] ksoze:
Nice. After being burned by the Note II Knox update, I have avoided Samsung products for a while, the Note 4 is seriously making me consider switching back.

I personally really despise Rogers as a company though - so I like to point out alternatives or workarounds to avoid Contracts - Force of habit.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] polish_pat:
I'm not sure how you got "burned" by knox because in Canada, there is nothing a carrier can do to you if you root or screw up your phone while being rooted. Rogers never gave me any crap about sending them a galaxy S2 with a fried CPU because i was not agile enough at the time to properly overclock, i also had 2 more returns for a defective sim card reader and an LTE modem problem, my phone always had knox triggered (at the time it was the trip counter) but it always passed on warranty.

Don't take this as an attack personally on you because I know a lot of people with that way of thinking, but why anybody avoid contracts? Are you going to have a phone for the next 2 years? The answer is most probably yes. Are you paying less on contract? Not really if you plan on buying a 900$ phone outright. Do the math, I paid my Note 4 250$, you'll pay it closer to 900$ off contract, the difference is 650$. Divide by 24 (months on contract) = 27$. Unless you have a 25$ crappy plan with no data, it's better to get your phone from a carrier on contract and get a 60$ plan that includes some form of data and allows you to get a phone for much less.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] ksoze:
It's a fact that the Last official update for the Note - forgive me if I don't provide the build numbers - was a horribly laggy mess. Then in the name of security, they included Knox which includes the Knox Bootloader - which basically made it impossible to downgrade to a legitimate older version of the ROM via Odin. Flashing an older version of the ROM will fail, cause a boot loop and to add insult to injury - trip the Knox flag. The Knox flag is something different from the old "Triangle" flag that that you are thinking of - and yes - I do know that Samsung was extremely lenient previously, regarding rooting - although I'm not even sure if the phone techs back then even knew to check for Root status.

I know of 2 people who were happy with Android - give up in disgust and go back to the iPhone thanks to the mess Samsung made - yes it was that bad.

My phone was working perfectly fine before the last update. So ironically - to "fix" the phone, I needed to root it, flash a custom ROM - just to make the device usable again.

My issue with Knox was that it was never installed on the phone originally - Samsung decided to add it in - and due to the way Knox works, made it impossible to go back. It was not a feature advertised with the phone, nor was it a feature I needed or desired, and there was no way to remove it. Get around Knox? Yes - it became possilble after a while. thanks to the hard work of ppl on XDA, but it still angers me thinking about it.

If I wanted a device where the manufacturer locks everything down with an update and tells me what to do with MY PHONE - I would have went with an iPhone and have loads of fun with Jailbreaking again and again after every update [/sarcasm].

Here's my plan - currently on Koodo - $60/month + taxes - 250 Outgoing Canada-Wide minutes, Unlimited Incoming, Unlimited Texting/MMS, Unlimited Evenings and Weekends starting at 5pm. 6 GB data.

Currently on Telus - the closest I can get to my current plan = 300 minutes + 6gb data. Costs $115 with a "Premium SmartPhone", $95 if you bring your own phone. That's a $55 difference + taxes/month compared to what I currently have.

Quebec has a decent 4th carrier, Videotron. In the rest of Canada, we don't have that luxury. Wind and Mobilicity lack LTE speeds and decent coverage outside of the metropolitan areas.

I have never paid $950 for an unlocked cell phone. Ever heard of the Nexus 4 or Nexus 5? How about the OnePlus One? Heck - even the Xperia Z3 costs $700 from Sony Store - fully unlocked. I bought my Note 2 on Kijiji for $500 - Jan 1, 2013 - I believe the phone was only for a couple months at that point . If you know where to look there are cheaper options than the Robellus's ridiculously overpriced "deals".
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] polish_pat:
I do know the difference between knox and a flash counter as I have a lot of experience with Samsung phone since they are the only company i buy from since leaving Apple in 2010. I had ALL previous Samsung flagship phones except 2, the first Note and the first Galaxy S. I have had all the rest and have never experienced the issues you mention. And in case you didnt know, on Canadian versions, you always could revert to an older firmware with odin, all you had to do is decompose the firmware and flash the components seperately while keeping the new bootloader.

Also, Telus is not the only one, Rogers offers a much better a 6GB plan with everything else UNLIMITED + all the other options such as VM and Caller ID for 85$ a month and even less expensive on the bring you own phone which bring the value down to 75$. Here is proof

And of course, second had phone always are less expensive but you never know what youre gonna get, and Nexus phone are almost always given out for free on contract because they are, or were, so inexpensive compared to other flagship devices, but the difference between on contract and off contract, on new phones is alsmost always between 400 and 500$ which bring my point back.

Anyways, I get your point. I just don't know if it really worth it to keep your little plan, unless 150 minutes a month is good enough for you of course. It's not for me thats for sure, plus i'm not so cheap on my phone bill, I have a premium plan with 15GB of Data and north american calling plus worldwide SMS included and preferred calling rates across the globe. Most people don't care but when you have family in the states it's nice to know you can them as much as you want for nothing more. Also i stream most of my music off Google Music and Spotify so 6gbs just doesnt cut it. But sure, if you need basic services, you might save an brown bill or two at the end of the year by using off contract second hand phones.
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] ksoze:
Dude, Like I said - you're in Quebec - you have different plans from the majority of Canada.

The same plan you have in your screenshot - shows up as $125 in Ontario if you buy a Note 4 for $300. $85/month if you

bring your own device

.

Change your region to Ontario and you'll see what the rest of us see.

And I get 250 outgoing minutes (not 150) and since I have unlimited incoming - I have enough minutes during the day. At night obviously there will be more outgoing calls, but I get unlimited there as well.

I find it ironic that you feel 6GB is a "basic service" - Rogers definitely doesn't agree with you - as soon as I click on 6GB - "Heavy User" shows up. I agree with you - 6GB isn't really enough for some people - and I would love to get more data, but I fail to see why you are still defending Rogers - since it is their pricing structure that makes it so that people like me - that still have "affordable" 6GB data plans - hang onto them so desperately.

Their accounting department must really love you there. And please, don't bother replying - I have placed you on my ignore list. It is people like you that enable Rogers, Bell and Telus to screw over Canada.

[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] wase4711:
If you dont want the costs involved with the new Gear S, then the Gear 2 neo is the next best thing for sure!
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] polish_pat:
The Gear S is not for people like me, i have enough trouble taking calls with my Gear 2 because the speaker is too faint that i don't see myself using my watch to make calls full time. I received my Gear 2 a few days ago and so far so good. I'm still a little disappointed to see there are no watchface makers, i would love to have a watchface that includes my step counter, battery life a few most used shortcuts and time and date. I have to say the watch has def taken a few steps forward but nothing that makes me say i wont sell it any time soon when something a little better comes out. I like it, i just don't love it like i love my note 4
[Samsung Gear 2 Neo] kaos420:
If you root it it's fine. I have the gear 2 neo. Use it for calls all the time. Just increase the volume with root. Works great.

I'm seeing multiple references to rooted sticks, but no guides.

I'm guessing those that have done it are coming from the FireTV original.

Who has successfully rooted the FireTV Stick?

What Firmware was device successfully rooted with?

Can Android OS be changed to a different ROM?

I have 2 that I got on the $19 promotion and don't want to plug them in if there is a chance I can root first.
[Fire TV General] collindv:
Nobody. The firetv stick cannot be rooted currently on any firmware. Standard fire tv's could be rooted as of 1 or two firmware revisions ago.

Edit - looks like there might be a potential hardware root referenced here:

You don't need root to install Kodi. How do you know you are rooted?
[Fire TV General] KLit75:

[Fire TV General] Calibaan:
Although ADB is often used for rooting other devices it does not mean there is root on the stick. The KODI installation guides refer to "ADB sideloading" and this has nothing to do with root. I assume this is a missunderstanding by Desertio.
[Fire TV General] ldeveraux:
Pretty sure he doesn't understand the difference

Thx for your thread. Sadly pirates take your thread for its own topics :)

I wanna go back to your first post.

For about 3 weeks I hardware-root the EMMC of a FireTV-Stick.

Difficult but possible :DI root succesfull the stock firmware: 54.1.1.0_user_110031420

My sources for the solder points where gtv-hacker or now known as exploiteers:

&

From here.

Two importand facts, I dont know before:

You dont have to connect the stick with usb-power to get access to the nand!

The ground (gnd) solder point should go from the marked-gnd-point to the hdmi/usb shield to the gnd-point on your board. 1 hole wire is good.

Here is Video, when fully-connected:

[YOUTUBE]SphoK77_-R8[/YOUTUBE]

And the console when conected: (command: mount | under lubuntu 14 | all the sda's are from the stick)

All as gallery. (THX imgur!)

What I would like to find out with your help, before I root the next device or somebody, would be to find out what is the newest hardware-rootable stock firmware from amazon, where I should update, before making a hardware-root.

Because at the moment there is no pre-Rooted rom's like, like builded from rbox or realbbb for the Fire-TV-Box-1. Also there is no unlocked-bootloader or custom recovery.

I like the hardware from the stick for that prices! And the software is getting better and better.

Sadly I had some problems with rbox x-posed modules, see here. (Got muted kodi, when enabled)

So theese are my informations about rooing an fire tv stick.
