They did once.... When I asked about Samsung Pay.

What really irks me about this situation is that Samsung didn't correct review sites who were saying the Canadian version has Exynos. I'm sure if there was a glaring error about the phone otherwise, Samsung PR would be all over it (especially from larger tech sites).

Man that's so accurate and I hate it :(.

Canada gets the SnapDragon 820

Not good news as far as I'm concerned

Confirmed by SamMobile and MobileSyrup
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] skyeking69:
Well this is all huge BS...I too just spoke on live chat....

"Rashae: Yes, it is not Snapdragon. It have the Exynos processor.

Skyeking69: are you 100% sure of this ?

Rashae: Yes, the Canadian Note7 have the Exynos processor."
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] _Jax_:
Its so incredibly absurd how they are treating this. The things is who do we b**ch to? It's not Rashae's fault, it's not rogers customer support's fault, its not best buys fault.... I might go in and talk with best buy after work. They have the best promo (imo) so I'm going to level with them and say if I pre-order and your specs page list exynos I will be expecting that. If it is snapdragon, then I fully expect a full refund no questions asked (I've never actually returned a phone before. I imagine there would be no hassle anyways).
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcadduono:
this is the hardest decision of my life

do i grab the canadian snapdragon or the international exynos duos

<_<

>_>

https://github.com/jcadduono/android_device_samsung_gracelte

https://github.com/jcadduono/android_device_samsung_graceqlte

in either case, i'm going to have a lot of fun when samsung opensource releases sources!

let's just pray that the rep that said it was bootloader unlocked knew the difference between a sim unlock and a bootloader unlock. :P

i'm pretty certain that i want the international exynos duos, especially considering samsung's history of locking t-mobile qualcomm for being, well, qualcomm... (t-mobile's exynos devices are still unlocked!)

the idea of porting all of samsung's driver code to CAF base and starting up a cyanogenmod repo sounds fun too, i don't think i'd put in that kind of effort on the exynos device...

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] HeavenlyFall:
Thinking of refunding the note 7 for the S7E, anyone feel the same?

I totally love the look and feel of the note but I just can't help but feel some regret because it's running SD820, can't be rooted and performance is a bit sluggish at times plus exynos's superior battery life

Aside from that I don't see myself using iris scanner or pen all that much

Does anyone know if this is true?

I have Fido as my carrier which doesn't carry Note 7, does that mean I won't be able to upgrade to Nougat because Fido doesn't support my phone and it's not possible to like install a different carrier because bootloader is locked?

You will be able to upgrade to nougat when its released

you can always change the CSC to whichever carrier you like

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] solar742:
Apparently Fido does have updates for the Note 7 as well as the other carriers not just from the big 3. Sammobile's firmware database shows multiple carriers that push note 7 updates.

Right now is it just single words upon hovering and you can only translate to your default stlystem language by default?

If so that's way worse then google translate can do.

Just select and copy any word or block of text and it translates into your chosen languages.

Quickly hop into the full app if you want to edit parts, have a large block of text to read, etc.

Wow that seems quick, I wasn't expecting them to start shipping until mid September. How early did you reserve your gift if you don't mind my asking?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] blwc:
If battery life is what you are after, the S7 Edge is probably the right device for you. Snapdragon 820 aside, there is no way the Note 7 would ever provide better battery life due to the specs alone (compared to S7 Edge): slightly larger screen, slightly smaller battery. Even the Exynos Note 7 would be worse than the Exynos S7 Edge in terms of battery life.

My friend is going to dubai and i can ask him to get 930FD, my question is does this FD modrl uses same fw as 930F Or both are different?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
Definitely agree. After using both devices, the edge is very good with battery. I will eventually go to the note 7 again when root is attained.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nighthawk29:
I for one stay with Wind because in my neighborhood the signal and speeds are no better with Rogers when I was with them and paying a **** ton more for crappy service when at home. I fall between the towers so in the little pocket of Mississauga I am in (Meadowvale area) this specific neighborhood falls in between all the towers surrounding so the signal is significantly weaker or at least that's what was explained to me by Rogers after multiple repeated calls (with them at first trying to get me to spend and buy a signal boosted and all sorts of crap to which I refused as I don't accept having to spend my own money to boost their crappy signal and have to install crap on my roof and into the house) while trying to figure out why service in my area always sucked yet my wife who uses Virgin Mobile had much better reception in our area. That was what they eventually came to as a conclusion when they finally escalated my complaints and a proper tech, not just a CSR reading off a tech support manual, called me back and said he looked at the area map and said I fell just outside the optimal reception strength and that's why it wasn't as reliable in this little pocket.

I decided to switch to Wind to save some money and hopefully get the network improvements soon and eventually LTE (I know, keyword and emphasis on "eventually" lol) and be on a much cheaper and better plan than greedy Robellus will ever offer. F*** the big 3! It's frustrating the very rare and odd time I may be downtown where it seems to be the worst so it doesn't affect me all that much. I'm either on wifi, driving (so can't use my phone anyway) or in the US and well with the included roaming in my plan it's actually better there than here so when I'm on the road I am getting a lot more for a lot less than the others can offer.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Max8321:
I have the note 7 Canadian model, but I'm looking into selling it and getting the international model. Would anyone know if the lte bands would be supported on koodo? I had a international Galaxy Note 3 model and I wasn't able to get lte here at all, so I just don't want to make the same mistake twice

Yep all bands work, my question is judging by the twrp thread they're having issues with the N930fd getting root. I'm sure it will be resolved. Hopefully anyway as I've already ordered it lol
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
Chainfire should be around the corner. I am actually waiting the moment root and twrp is completed then I will pull trigger on eBay lol. Glad my S7 edge will sell rooted, Knox tripped without issues on Kijiji.

930F is a safer bet.

FD models have usually been less supported than the F.

FD and some other variants like Taiwan, etc. are sometimes slightly cheaper and easier to get though.

true but the thing is the F and FD share the same firmware, so flashing anything from the F variant onto the FD should be fine. All the FD has is an extra sim option

Considering its the last Canadian samsung with unlocked bootloader, I wouldn't be surprised that the price actually goes up a bit.

Certainly seems a better deal than the note7, lol. Overpriced snapdragon pos (and trust me the price is the least of my concerns in the big picture), with locked bootloader, and data and mobile hotspot removed.

Next step from our providers is to start charging for tethering, akin to usa, but with a whopping 100 mb for $10 limit.

I certainly understand that not everyone wants the root. But before there was the choice. Now it has been taken away.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] LinS123:
I seriously doubt the price will increase much if at all mainly due to the type of people buying phones second hand. I've sold my last 3 phones (GS6e, N6P, GS7e) to people who don't even know what a custom rom is. I doubt that really will change drastically.

Also mobile hotspot has not been removed. It's just not a toggle anymore, which is very annoying. You can still access it via wifi settings in the settings menu.

As for the locked BL, yeah total bummer but most consumers won't really care since they don't root their phones anyways to keep warranty.

As for us XDA members, we'll just end up getting the N930F/D (money permitting of course... my poor poor wallet).
