Hi guys, i went to the Sherway Gardens to preorder Note 7. But was disappointed when they told me its Snapdragon for Canada this time.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] greatg:
Canadian specs show that it is Exynos
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] docravi:
Where did you read that? Any links please. I got to know about it from the salespersons.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Its not supposed to be but if it is and its BL locked mine will be going back immediately.

Now if its SD and unlocked that would be interesting.

Sent from my Note 5 or S6. Note 7 ordered :)
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] docravi:
I just called the Sherway Gardens store and they confirmed its Snapdragon. So sad
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
It may still be unlocked, who knows

Sent from my Note 5 or S6. Note 7 ordered :)
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
I also called the sammy store in sherway and got the snapdragon answer. So i asked about the bootloader locked and he had to transfer me to another guy and he said its not locked like the US device.

But at the same time im on live chat with samsung canada and they say exynos 8890.

A little confusing lol

Sent from my Note 5 or S6. Note 7 ordered :)
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] greatg:
I've decided to purchase the phone out right. My understanding is that an unlock code is provided so that the phone can be used with the carrier of choice. My question is what happens to updates if the carrier I choose does not have this phone available?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Good question, I would ask that in the samsung store.

Of course given my previous post they seem to be giving out some odd information on the processor so who knows if what they tell you is accurate lol

Sent from my Note 5 or S6. Note 7 ordered :)
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
It better indeed be Exynos - better audio there (and I may wait a few months to root in case we get Samsung Pay, so I won't be using Viper4Android right away)
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] greatg:
That's what I'm afraid of. I did receive an email from Samsung confirming my pre-order. At the bottom was a button for live chat. It take me to the live chat window and then an error code that the customer key is invalid?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] greatg:
Well, I was able to get through on the live chat. Samsung states that the Canadian Note 7 will have the Exynos CPU. Also, updates will be possible with OTA
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] KWoods41:
I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere, but this is also the first time that Samsung is offering *shipping* for pre-order phones! For those of us who live in cities without a Samsung store, this is a godsend. I always have to go through so much trouble to get the phone through a carrier on the day-of.

I still may drive the 3 hours up to the closest Samsung store and pick one up directly if I find out the shipping is delayed.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
I got the same answer about exynos on live chat but the store is absolutely sure its the 820....if the staff in the samsung store are as lost as the staff in the carriers stores then this makes perfect sense lol.

Sent from my Note 5 or S6. Note 7 ordered :)
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mostwantedd:
pre ordered on samsung canada site, its unlocked without any pre loaded apps. im getting silver.

anyone has eyes on tempered glass protector?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
You aren't going to get updates from Samsung - that one just proves that Samsung reps don't really know what's going on.

Updates will come from carriers - just like the S7 & S7 Edge.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ARNOB:
I got this word from them.

So...?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] prox4ion:
Anyone knows if the Canadian version will have dual sim?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
Pretty much a guaranteed "No" on that one. None of the Galaxy S or Note phones in North America have been dual SIM (I'm almost sure no Samsung phones in general sold here have been either, but for sure not their flagships).
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] diggmc:
Don't hold your breath for it to show up today. It's gotta be processed by Data Tech, shipped out to which ever delivery service, processed some more and then go out for delivery. Considering its not even gone through the first step... We'll be waiting until Monday at the earliest. Sadly!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] spex714:
Yea, I sent an email last night to samsung telling them to cancel my web order and I am going to pick up my device at Sherway :)

OR for those of you that get the device shipped out today (and live near by) you might get lucky if you go to the shipping location where your device is and pick it up from there (again if you're lucky)
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mohammedessam:
Any idea if the $200 trade in promotion is available with the Note 7 pre-orders
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cknewdeal:
Guys/Gals if anyone is going to Sherway Gardens, the manager said to bring an old cell phone to trade in. Can be any old phone. Old Nokia, blackberry, etc. I'll edit this post when I know exactly what the promotion is.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mohammedessam:
Its a minimum of $200 discount

http://pages.samsung.com/ca/promotions/English/

But it says that it doesn't apply to pre-orders
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] note3or2:
Anyone lucky to get shipping notification from samsung. If they don't ship them out today then my chances of getting from them even on monday is not so good.

No luck from costco either.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cknewdeal:
There is the TV screen near the entrance that says 200 minimum off on a trade in. The only fine print I can see is valid until September 30th. It doesn't say pre-order or not. I guess I'll have to wait and report back. Still in line.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mohammedessam:
On the promotion website it says in the fine print

*Offer will not be retroactively applied to any pre-orders.

How many person waiting in the line?

Ill head over there now, coming from Ajax

Please let us know if they accept trade ins with the pre-order
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cknewdeal:
Not too many people. I'd say about 50, but more people are trickling in. The line is moving slowly though. Yeah I'll post back when I know for sure about the trade in, but I'd suggest bringing an old phone just in case.

Anyone get an updates on shipping from Samsung ? I tried calling, but they must have a long queue time at the moment.

If anyone receives one from Telus, would you please be able to check if the FM radio is enabled? Fingers crossed it is, guess that's one benefit of having the Snapdragon in it.

Email says:

"Congratulations on purchasing your new Samsung phone. To get started, all you need to do is to insert a SIM card from a service provider of your choosing. Please bear in mind that once you insert the SIM card into the phone, the phone will lock to that service provider.

To unlock your phone, insert a different carrier SIM card and, when prompted, enter the Unlock Code provided above."

https://idlekernel.com/flash-tools/Odin_3.11.1.zip

This is just a test image using stock kernel/dtb so it will have broken adb and maybe stuck on loading screen, but hey, if Odin doesn't say flash fail then we're good to go! I'm just waiting on the kernel source for the full working version.

PS Don't forget to go to About device -> tap of build number 7 times -> Developer options -> Enable OEM Unlock before flashing!!

Also if you ever see a prompt about factory reset protection in a google app/screen, don't enable it or you will have to flash stock signed firmware to get back into your phone.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] cknewdeal:
Yeah the pre-order is going to be done by us online. They didn't give the watches or speakers out.

So in summary, 200 off on pre-order with any phone and pre-order gift as well (done online).

I don't think so, because I believe the online sales are being done by a 3rd party company.

Do you know if they have any stock in store for non preorder customers? I missed the preorder but with the $200 rebate I may grab one now if they are available. Thanks
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcadduono:
*sigh* they need more Samsung stores, I wonder if they even would have wanted my cracked Note 3 kept on life support from parts from 2 other broken Note 3's LOL.

Why did they take $50 off the $1050? :S Oh I guess you put $50 down and they refunded it, ok.

UPDATE: HOLY CREPES OF FINLAND BATMAN I'M AN RD NOW!

Does this make me intimidating or more approachable?

Honestly I'm not sure. I heard the employees asking that question and I think they said they would but no guarantee of colour choice. The customer who asked them ended up leaving so he didn't buy. He thought since he had reserved online he could pick it up in store.

For those of you who have your phone, and using CSC other than Bell, can you please confirm if the Mobile Hotspot quick toggle is present or not? It is not on the Bell CSC.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] quiksilverkid13:
Well, I made a reservation for pick up online with Rogers. Been stuck at position 67 for a while. Hasn't budged even on release day
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] WorldIRC:
I don't really understand the code you've posted.

Is what you are saying that the Mobile Hotspot toggle is simply not present on the W8 variant of the Note 7?

It may or may not be CSC related, that's what I'm trying to determine. Someone who uses Rogers or TELUS should be able to quickly verify.

I don't think the APN tethering profiles has anything to do with it. Every other Samsung device I've used has the quick toggle. I think they just forgot to put it in. I know the N930F variant has it.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcadduono:
Try changing to Unbranded XAC CSC, it has APN configurations for all providers, less carrier specific apps, as well as enabled VoLTE if yours supports it.

To change your CSC, open dialer and type: *#272*YOUR_IMEI#

You can get your IMEI from: *#06# (only use first number, ignore the / and all after it)

Changing your CSC will wipe your data / factory reset the device.

XAC Unbranded CSC also includes:

Bell Mobile TV app stub

Spotify app

Some widgets?

Some mobile phone store app thing?

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] AndrewSE:
Exactly ! It's looking like Tech Data dropped the ball here ! :mad:

On a side note, the 1-855-254-4747 has product messages for the S5... I think it's time to update their Rand messages. They could have also placed a message at the start of the workflow stating " All pre-orders have shipped" or something like that.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DLG187:
fwiw, the online site doesn't indicate that anything's happened, but I did get an email with shipping info for order 1629, so you may still get your email later

Does the trade-in work if I pre-ordered through Samsung.ca?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jcadduono:
It seems that in the T-Mobile Note 7 they have FM radio support, but it doesn't seem to be enabled for the Canadian variants. There's a CSC toggle found by someone in the T-Mobile Note 7 forum:

While it doesn't seem likely that just adding that CSC option to ours Canadian Note 7 will enable it, I suppose it's worth a try if anyone wants to do it.

I'll check out the kernel source, maybe we just need the CSC and FM kernel driver enabled, but more likely than not it's a bootloader modification that enables the ability for kernel to interact with FM gpio :(

Another thing I noticed is that Samsung Pay seems to be disabled in CSC, maybe we can enable that too.

But I just realized that wouldn't be useful at all, since enabling it would just trip Knox anyway so it would be unusable. ;D

What a joke, pre-ordered directly from Samsung and I won't even see it on launch day and with today being Friday now have to wait until next week? What BS! Never again will I pre-order from Samsung!

I knew I should have just gone to Sherway first thing in the morning to try and pick up the phone from the Samsung store but figured if they can have units out to stores ready for today they can have online (full priced) pre-orders delivered today too but clearly not.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Pointro:
I wouldn't exactly call it bloatware. It comes with nothing like you'd see in the states. It's more that Facebook and Google Play Music/Movies et al are system apps, so you can't straight out uninstall them.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] asd313asd:
I just grabbed mine from Sherway and will be returning my online pre order. Saving an extra $200 for a trade in just makes more sense to me. If someone wants a blue pre order i will sell it to them at cost once i get it.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] wingswrath:
Indeed. They've had quite a while to prepare the order (at least two weeks) and they still have logistical problems? Did they just think that the majority of people who preordered on their website were just trolling? Kind of disappointed...

At least for nexus pre-orders I get better updates on my purchase D:
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DLG187:
it is pretty annoying to be honest. like....what did I pre-order for? A Gear Fit 2?

I pre-ordered from two different places and neither will get the devices to us today.

Costco hasn't shipped yet, Samsung has but other than leaving Toronto's facility there hasnt been an update in tracking.
