They're much too expensive for me, I just said that I trusted them since most people I know buy from never-msrp. no, went to buy from a seller than was $775 and then they took down the auction before I could pay because they ran out of stock. Sometime later 232tech showed up as $775 as well so I went with them. I guess they're cheaper not including a US charger and no "gifts" as well as listing NO MANUFACTURER WARRANTY INCLUDED. (I assume they just meant in the US, as New In Box purchased devices should have the 1 year Samsung warranty assuming you contact the correct Samsung region for warranty claim? Oh well.)

Update: 232tech says you get 14 days to return it for full refund and 30 days for exchange if you find manufacturing defects. This makes me feel much better at least, but still they don't pay for the shipping in these scenarios.

Not that I'm aware of, I have a Note 3, Note 4, S5, and 2 S5 Actives nearby and they have no strange tints from any angles when viewed in the dark (no light reflections), besides a lot of visible burn in on low brightness.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] LinS123:
Depends on where you see it. If it's on the stock wallpaper, keep in mind that one is designed to change color based on the gyroscope.

Now if your whole screen gets a green tint whenever you view from any angle then I'm not sure. Very slight color shift is to beexpected on these AMOLED panels because they use a pentile sub pixel set up. If you could post pictures maybe it'll be easier to determine.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] darthfire:
Haha no it's not the stock wallpaper shift. It's most noticeable on whites, they are nice and warm when viewed straight on and get much cooler/greenish when viewed at any angle. Using the dead pixel test app, the red screen turns orange and yellows become lime green when viewing at an angle. I took a video that hopefully demonstrates what I'm talking about: https://youtu.be/oiOVzF_K0zM
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] LinS123:
That looks pretty drastic... Looks like a bad panel.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcadduono:
I'm seeing this on all AMOLED screens, does this not happen with IPS? I would assume this was more a side effect of the glass?

Just opened up an informational thread here: http://xdaforums.com/note-7/help/galaxy-note-7-one-information-answers-t3448689
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] darthfire:
That was my initial thought too but I had my trusty Nexus 5 to test this against and it did not display any color temperature shifts. I'm not bothered by it too much when I'm watching videos, but it is noticeable during web browsing. Especially because the whites become really "cool" at the slightest of angles. I'll see if the demo units in the store also have the same issues.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
That's normal man. Dial *#0*# and then select red in the diagnostic screen. I see the same angle on every edge phone.

Is it safe to assume rooting will not be possible with sd820 variant aside from sprint?

I believe not all sd820 S7 Edge can be rooted due to same issue with Note 7 with the bootloader and all
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pointro:
I've officially returned my W8 to Wind. And I've just pulled the trigger on a dual-sim from Ebay. Dem import fees gonna hurt, but it'll be worth it.

Basically. Other than a similar ROM used for the Sprint. If root is achieved it'll be past the phone's meaningful lifecycle.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] HeavenlyFall:
That's unfortunate, seems like I'll have to get the S7E instead, it's probably the last exynos phone we'll get in NA...

I wish I could import the Note 7 but $1100+ before tax is overkill for me
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
Plus exynos > snapdragon.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mostwantedd:
anyone got the refund?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaestroSeven:
How would the warrantee work if I was to buy the international version? Where would I send the phone back to?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
You don't. That's why warranty is voided when rooting. Rarely do phones fail. If they do you fix yourself.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaestroSeven:
No but if I didn't root but just bought the international version.

---------- Post added at 07:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:44 PM ----------

How would it work if I didn't root the phone
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcadduono:
I don't think it works even if you don't root the phone. Samsung Canada won't accept it, and Samsung other regions won't accept it because you bought it outside their regions . You're expected to either pay $60 to get your device fixed by a little Chinese shop when necessary or get some kind of Geek Squad or Square Trade accidental damage protection.

You should have something like 2 weeks to return for exchange for most eBay sellers if you run into a manufacturing defect.

Personally, I'll be fixing it myself when necessary, otherwise putting it in the hands of my local cell repair shop. If screen ever breaks, I'll be in for one hell of a repair fee though.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
Keep dreaming if you think Samsung will release source code for Exynos units. They don't do that! :(
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcadduono:
they release the kernel source code, which should be enough to start things off...as for the proprietary interfaces between android OS and the hardware... *shudder* reverse engineering is still an option.

but even then, most of my interests are only kernel related, so i'm happy for the most part. (i loved touchwiz 6.0 and i'm betting grace ui will be even more awesome)

[MENTION=5672995]jcadduono[/MENTION] where would you buy the exynos version?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcadduono:
i would get it from ebay, and only from sellers offering the gold version because there's a lower chance of receiving the wrong model. (the snapdragon ones don't have a gold variant)

it is quite a bit more expensive however, unless you somehow managed to avoid paying HST

ex. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Gal...UNLOCKED-Black-Silver-Gold-Blue-/222208477400 (i have no affiliation with this seller and cannot vouch for its authenticity)

costs $909 ~= $1190 CAD

(add more if you're charged for foreign exchange conversion, amazon.ca visa is lovely for avoiding this)

$16 usd shipping so about $20 CAD to ship

$1210 CAD (with HST $1344+$20 shipping = $1364) for exynos dual sim variant from ebay seller in the USA (may or may not get charged HST)

vs

$1050 CAD+HST ($1187) for snapdragon variant directly from Samsung Canada

so ~$177 CAD more if you want Exynos Dual SIM instead of Snapdragon Single SIM

only $23 more if you manage to get it past border without HST lol

I bought my Note 5 (N920CD) from never-msrp on Ebay, he was very helpful in finding out the right model that supports the LTE Bands used in Switzerland.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pointro:
Regarding the mobilesyrup article posted before. They're said that their source was Samsung's head head of communications. About as legitimate as you can get. The question for me is whether the bootloader will be unlockable. I would believe so, but....
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
I cancelled my preorder. Considering it would have meant switching carriers (as I'm tired of Koodo's "online only" approach to high-end handsets lately), I'd rather take a wait and see approach.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
From what I read, it's absolutely snapdragon. Bootloader locked? I've used every galaxy device since the S3. Not one has come to Canada locked, exynos or snapdragon. I highly doubt the note 7 will start with locked bootloaders for the W8 variants. I really doubt it has anything to do with t-mobile and their alternative plans.

Oh really, sweet! I've preordered a blue coral from Wind and was thinking about cancelling it. I personally won't really notice the performance differences and from what I've read on reddit, the battery differences were from a lack of optimization, which was fixed with updates.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
Exynos or snapdragon, honestly I am excited to go back to snapdragon again. I've been with exynos since the s6 days. There is barely any difference between the variants.

Development will be fun! I still have to check out the coral blue color, I pre-ordered titanium.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gaganmohal:
"Development will be fun"

If we get a snapdragon varient, AFAIK i dont think we will be able to run international roms as they have exynos chip. Since US snapdragon varients will be locked down, there wont be much development for snapdragon, which will leave us alone.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
If our bootloader is unlocked, I'm sure quite a few people will be importing one for use in the States. Development could indeed happen then
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] gaganmohal:
Sure there will be some develpment but not that much.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
It looks like only SD 820 will support 4x4 Mimo this might be a good argument in favor of Snapdragon.

http://goo.gl/tVxdoM

The Galaxy Note 7 looks to be the first smartphone to support 4x4 MIMO, which can double peak download speeds and offer better stability and efficiency.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] _Jax_:
That definitely a good argument in favour of snapdragon.

Trust me, I'm just as ticked off as anyone else...BUT...when looking at the exynos vs snapdragon test on the s7 on gsmarena, yes its night and day but how many of us will be sitting there opening every app over and over again? Now my concern has switched to development. I was actually saying to myself that TW is looking pretty good. I don't think I'd want to flash an AOSP rom. Maybe a modified TW but it would still be nice to have options.

Of course the battery as well but my note 4 already lasts a day so I'm not concerned.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pointro:
It seems that SD will get USB 3.1, while the Exynos will get USB 2.0.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
There are so many xposed modules that having a custom rom isn't priority anymore. I just hope root can be attained quickly and xposed installed. All good.

If you've already received it you have to let them know that and then ship it back to them yourself.

If you haven't received it yet, then you have to refuse it otherwise you have to pay to ship it back yourself.

They're saying that because they've already shipped it.

If the package is refused, they will refund you with the assumption that you didn't want it.

Out of curiosity, anyone with a Note 7 noticing that along the edge of the screen where the glass meets the frame, that there's like..a small slit/seam that's showing part of the screen??

Picked my Note 7 up from Richmond center on Friday.

I preordered it but like others, I was able to trade in an old device and get $200 off. I brought in an old evdo flip phone!

So far, very impressed. Coming from HTC exclusively since 2005. I bought my Wife a Note 4, my Mother in law had an S3 and upgraded last year to the Note 5 so here I am. Not to mention, with the $200 off the price came to $850, making it much cheaper that the M10 which is $999 direct from HTC here in Canada.

For anyone that purchased the phone from Samsung Canada, what shipping courier did they use?

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pointro:
This reminds me of how absurdly priced the HTC 10 is. People are complaining about the Note7's price and questioning whether it's worth it over the OP3 or Axon 7... but the HTC10 is only $50 less than the Note7! AND it's a Bell exclusive if you can't buy it outright. The S7 and S7E are actually cheaper than the 10 now, Axon might actually have better sound quality than it and OP3 is about half its price, with just a smaller resolution screen and no SD card. Just awful decision making by HTC.

note 7 root w8

i got the note 7 w8 from wind and just could not wait for any one else to try and no nox trip so i have flashed the sprint tar and am currently waiting for it to boot.

btw does any one have stock so i can revert if it boot loops?

have booted and am still connected to the wind network after entering apn also now have Samsung pay will now try to test root and try to get super su working.

Samsung has an notification on task bar saying that the device is rooted so i assume all is well once done will get camara and take an video to prove root.

Success have super su installed now to get exposed and get rid of these stock sprint apps. i can live with out roms but not root in even it's base forum now sell this device and import for Europe or to keep knowing that i will probability be stuck on 6.0.1 for its whole life... decisions... decisions.

xposed installed root fully works just follow the same steps as for the sprint device.

found stock firmwhere here http://samfirm.net/threads/official...ell-mobile-n930w8vlu1aph1-bmc-18-08-2016.101/

flashed sprint rom then before it got the chance to boot flashed bl and cp for the rom above to change the modem back to our local Canadian one (apparently more frequencies) will now be modifying settings.apk to enable data while roaming also don't forget to add your apn in settings thanks to every one who has pushed these rom's made backups and developed the apps we take for granted

just one question what is the csc part of the rom because there are two in that dump and i flashed csc_OYA and it made the device unbootable?

will keep updated on progress as i get things done.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] PearsonDKA:
I was waiting for someone to take the plunge haha. Thanks for being the guinea pig. It reminds me of my Note 4 and 5 days where you had to flash either AT&T or T Mobile based Roms to enjoy anything. Well in my experience at least.

Ya its n930w8 but it shows it as p now (since its sprint firmware ofc).

And ya I just did now.
