Mind directing me to the right post or thread, or explaining exactly what do i block.

If you are referring to the 5 or so files we need to block(saw in the thread somewhere. Even saved names of the files) then unfortunately I those files did not show up when i have installed the latest version of pack pro.

We all say things a thousand times, I would appreciate if you say it one more time, as I'm trying to learn as much as i can. Be as active as i can here to be aware of what is going on.

Cheers
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
I posted it in this very thread a few hours ago today.

The updated pack pro removed the ability to block...guess the developer sold Out to samsung.

You need version 6.3 which you will find also in my earlier post.uninstall the updated one then install 6.3

Post 2656

To block the notifications disable samsung push
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] OkayGK:
Actually found one Samsung push. Disabled it but that did not help. Version 6.6. Will try 6.3 when I'm home.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
6.3 is def working i was getting those annoying messages then disabled push and they are gone, a friend of mine also did the same as his are gone also.

There is some good reading here also.

May be is the new software they pushed or 6.6 is just not cutting it. Hope for the best.

Please and Thank You
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
As mentioned numerous times...not possible, your stuck as is unfortunately.

You should have taken the proper steps to ensure the OTA is blocked in the first place.

You can get rid of the pop ups though..check a few posts up
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] millicent:
Isn't there an option let it charge up to 80% anymore like the previous battery crippling update? It should be under battery settings..hopefully

what if i flash a custom rom?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Msb2017:
You would need root and customer recovery which is not available for snapdragon version atm.

in New Zealand they just blacklisted all note 7 IMEIs, so wait for it, it will be likely coming to other markets since samsung gave the ok on their side.

Help me out here are there any solutions for Canadian die hards? Bypassing, hacking, or anything? Also is anyone working on it? My note is so beautiful... Much appreciated.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] OkayGK:
May be on the old software. On the new update i have not found any ability to go to 80%

Thanks for the help earlier. Just got home and could not wait till tomorrow am.

Removed 6.6 PD

Installed 6.3 PD as you said.

Disabled com.sec.spp.push - Samsung Push Service.

It did not help. Still have the pop up.

Also went ahead and even disabled thiese:

com.policydm

com.sec.android.soagent

com.samsung.android.omcagent (this file did not exist)

com.wssyncmldm

com.samsung.firmware.sensorhub

com.samsung.android.firmware.tsp

Rebooted the phone and still the pop up comes out.

Guessing with a new update this popup is somewhere else.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] alquistador:
these pop ups are ridiculous. samsung never ever again.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
It could be the new update itself isnt allowing the notification to be blocked also. But i hope its like you said and its just listed as something else

Looks like they are getting sneaky either way.

I searched related apps all night yesterday but no lock.

I am thinking blocking and unblocking 20 apps at a time to see if pop up goes away

But I forsee a mate 9 in my future also since the new nexus is a joke and not worth the $

Plain Mate 9 doesn't do it for me...but that Porsche Designed Mate 9 is gorgeous. Too bad it's so damned expensive and I wouldn't be able to get it in Canada.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] funkydude101:
Good thing I kept up with this thread. Didn't notice that package disabler pro did something sneaky with an update. Surprisingly after all this time with PD 6.6 I've not had any pop-ups. But I'm also running the original firmware, not the green battery version.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] OkayGK:
Lol I started disabling few things in PD 6.3 and almost f*cked up my note 7. =)

It stopped working for a sec, after I tuned off : Themes and System UI.

Touch screen did not respond so as the wireless charger but!!!! for a a breath moment I had no pop ups lol.

I thought id turn off 10 apps at a time to see if the damn POPUP goes away. I guess i'll stop, rather not risk it.

Unless there is a way, if something goes wrong to reboot it back to stock again, is there?

FYI

Samsung hit with class-action lawsuit in Canada over Galaxy Note 7 recall

http://globalnews.ca/news/3051192/s...-lawsuit-in-canada-over-galaxy-note-7-recall/

If you still have a receipt you can join the class-action
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SamsungG:
Honestly I think this is solid BS! Now that I'm limited to 60% charge this thing is headed for a melt down! I've never seen my battery temp hit 40c and now it is. Use to hit no more than 32c! I can honestly say the idiot software developers at Samsung are a bunch of tools trying to push too much power to the anode and cathode thus deteriorating the barrier between the two and not taking into account for ambient Temps and or putting proper safety bypasses to disable charging in high Temps. Join the class action lawsuit, CHECK! They totally could of handled this situation differently like slow down the damn charge considering ambient temperatures where most of these devices blew up.. USA, +10c over Canada! F'n BS!! .. O and I can't flash anything... If I'm gonna return this phone it's going to be in pieces!! F U Samsung for letting social media overcome you!!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
40c is normal. Relax.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Msb2017:
It is the first thing i tried and no it fails because they blocked roll bk which was expected anyway. The only option now is root nd custom rom which is not really an option atm.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SamsungG:
Normally at 50C is when the safeties kick in and shut down charging. Obviously these or some of these batteries cant even handle that. The cooler the better in my books to avoid damages while even unplugged.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sevael:
Just got a call from Rogers saying they noticed that my Note 7 "was active on the network recently". The guy reminded me of the recall and mentioned that all Note 7s will be banned from the network starting December 9th.

Guess I'm going to have to change my IMEI soon. :D

EDIT: For the record, this Note 7 is from Samsung, not Rogers. So they're not just contacting people who bought the phone through them, but all Note 7 users on the network.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] OkayGK:
PM me the details of successful IMEI change. I'll be right after you once you complete it.

Noone called me yet and I did't even know they knew what phone I'm using. I've bought mine from rogers but am on Fido. Never told fido I have note7. So if they do see it and will do the same, I go imei route.

What's the word on refunds if you bought directly from Samsung? They've had my v2 for almost three weeks (Friday) and I've heard nothing
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Msb2017:
Check ur account u should have received the refund already. They don't send any emails until aweek after u get refund.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] diggmc:
Oh the irony! Just received an email from Samsung saying they still think I have their god damn phone.

Someone is going to get a new a-hole ripped tomorrow.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ARNOB:
I've got the same email. Where I shipped the phone with the box they provided. I've already got an international S7e from amazon, 1000 times better than samsung.ca
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cycloneon:
If you initially purchased for Note 7 via Paypal then you should check your Paypal. If it's not in your bank account then there is a likely chance Samsung already sent the refund back but it's currently going through processing with paypal. and Paypal can take up to 10 business days to release your money

I said earlier that Samsung sent my money back to Paypal after about 1.5-2 weeks I sent back my Note 7s. Hopefully by Tuesday Paypal can release my money.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] diggmc:
Well after being on hold for 15mins and hung up on twice, they confirmed that they have both my phone's and promised to escalate my refund to a stupidvisor. I'm going to give them until next Friday, then I'm going to contact CIBC visa .

So this is funny but i kinda fixed my phone now it charges up to 100. I tried koodo firmware and i was able to restore it. Originally i tried the general Samsung firmware for note 7 nd it kept on failing in odin then i realized wen i put my simcard in back wen first got the phone it locked to koodo. Now i used pkg disabler to disable updates too.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] llsektorll:
Who was your phone locked to originally? I'm curious because I'm on the Rogers N7 and I want to try this.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] emazens:
can you show us the steps u did ? and files u used ( where u got the firmware ) download links and all please ?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
It's irrelevant whether or not your phone is locked the N7 firmware for Canadian devices is essentially the same...im on rogers but could flash koodo,bell, telus etc.

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------

Firmware can be found at sammobile.com just like always and flashing it via odin is no different than on any other device.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Msb2017:
I bought my n7 from Samsung.ca so it it was open firmware but as soon as i put my koodo sim in it, it restarted installed somethings in the background and was locked to koodo.

---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:15 PM ----------

Got the firmware from sammobile and flashed it in odin. No factory erase or reset, i still have all my data and apps. Make sure you get the firmware for your n7 exactly.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Msb2017:
My confession :)

so so i have been a bad boy and i did something. idk if anyone else also been bad enough to do this :) when i got my replacment N7 i didnt send them my orignal one and hence i had 2 N7s with me. when they stopped N7 all together, i sent my replacement n7, which i had broken the screen of, and got my refund plus 25$ promo check. kept the orignal N7 and still using it. it is working flawlessly. So then i contacted them that i have got a n7 and dont have purchase receipt and guess what? they asked for the phone info and said i can exchange it for s7 edge and sent me a shipping box. so there it is i said it.

P.S im not sure if i should send this n7 and get s7 edge or keep it
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Why would you want an 8 month old device with a smaller screen and no Spen lol?

Its also taking a loss as the note was more expensive to begin with...they should be offering the edge and a few hundred dollars lol.

I say keep it..especially if you have kept it on the orig firmware and have root.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Msb2017:
good idea but i dont have root. this is snapdragon version there is no root for it yet. yes i flashed the original firmware cause i cant deal with 60% battery cap lol
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Well there was root for it on the 2nd firmware release which basically those of us who got the devices launch day dropped as soon as you powered up the device. it worked with the sprint engineering rooted firmware.

The third firmware was the green battery release which also killed root.

Then came release 4 which killed the battery.

Jeez whats next lol.

Wasnt sure if you were one of the few who as lucky enough to still have it.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Msb2017:
yeah true but mine is the Canadian variant so no luck :(
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Mine also....had a exynos before but I returned it.....kicking myself still but haply I was able to get another one even if I dont have root lol
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] therockk:
60% PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! + NO MORE POPUPS!!!!!!!!!!

Hi guys, like alot of you guys here. I also had my Note 7 forcefully updated and my battery restricted to 60% ... I was coming on this thread everyday looking for a solution. I checked somewhere else and FOUND a solution .... I tried it last night and I'm happy to say i now have my Note 7 running and charging to 100% battery with NO constant popup! I was just at the end of my rope here guys and was seriously about to give the phone back as those constant damn popups just drove me INSANE!.

And the best part is that if you follow the instructions to the letter than you wont even loose ANY data! Here is the link:

http://www.n7r.co/topic/103-restore-to-100-back-from-60-battery-using-old-firmware-step-by-step-guide-n7r-approved/?_fromLogin=1

The guy in this tutorial also has a Canadian W8 like us. Long story short is the trick to downgrade the firmware is choosing the right firmware file. I mean i just used the same one as this guy (API3) and on my first try it downgraded in Odin no problems. You have to make an account with that site in order to get to view that page. And make sure if you don't want to lose your date for CSC file you choose the "HOME_CSC_OYA" file!!!!!

Like i said guys, 100% battery charging + no more notifications!! Try it fast before Samsung fixes whatever is allowing it to downgrade! And make sure to disable the forced updates BEFORE you do this.

Oh and please note: After i flashed the API3 file .. It rebooted the phone and it said installing update ... Thats where i crapped my pants thinking damn that 60% update is being installed ... Do not fear! After seeing that and waIting the SUPER long time for my apps to optimize .... Turns out all was good! If you have any questions feel free to ask!!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SamsungG:

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mythraven:
You the man! Followed your link to the note 7 rebels site, followed instructions. Now my phone does not have that annoying message. Its currently charging though, should get past 60 but we shall see. I still have the sim card out and wifi off though. I want to make sure i got the right packages disabled.

I installed the package disabler premium before i flashed with odin, and since i used CSC_Home, my files and all remained. I disabled only three packages:

com.sec.android.soagent

com.wssyncmldm

com.samsung.android.firmware.tsp​

I had to go to manual disable and type it in as the latest version of package disabler did not show it on the list.

I hope thats enough. If anyone has done this and had to disable additional packages. Let me know please.

I will update later if i dont get the forced update again. The note 7 rebel site is currently down. I would search there again for the packages to disable but cant.

If you want to flash your note7, you can follow same instructions from here: http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-note-7/how-to/updated-limited-to-60-heres-fix-t3495293 and just ensure you have the right firmware for your carrier.

I got my firmware, canadian note 7 bought from samsung, locked to rogers, from here: http://samfirm.net/threads/update-safely-firmware-galaxy-note7-all-model-22-09-2016.119/

Let me know if anyone has any questions.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] therockk:
Apart from the Files that you disabled there are a few other main ones you must disable to avoid the force update. Take a look at my screenshot.

And you don't need to disable your Wi-Fi, or take out your Sim card. , At least I didn't have to.

Before I downgraded the operating system, I had already disabled all the packages that caused the forced update so after I flashed the previous OS I didn't do anything at all
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] therockk:
Awesome! I'm glad I could be of help. Real dealbreaker for me was those pesky nonstop notifications, with this downgraded version I still get that notification whenever I plug the phone to charge.

I took it a few steps further to make sure I wasnt gonna get push updated! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6v77b8BCoW0QTNEdmdKNUFSbDg/view?usp=sharing

Next step - Swap imei from my dead note 4 to the note 7, something im really doing some digging into before attempting. From what Ive heard Samsung/Rogers will be stopping the refunds for these phones come November 30th and by December 9th they will be blacklisting all note 7 imei's sold from Rogers. So I figure I better get going and figure it out, have you ever?

---------- Post added at 07:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:17 PM ----------

Russian Ads? .... Thats new..... Russian Note 7? Flashed a Russian ROM? LOL .. Thats a new one!!
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] therockk:
Oh wow. No I didn't hear that. But replacing the IMEI number is not something you can just do. But I Have heard about some shops that do that kind of thing. Honestly, I haven't heard that blacklisting of the IMEI is going to happen so rather than worry about it now I'll cross that bridge when I come to it. LOL.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SamsungG:
Well you know those annoying people that still go into the Rogers store to pay their bills.. My dad being one of them.. They said, "o you have a note 7 attached to your business account" and told him that. Mind you 99.9% of the time those people don't know what they are talking about, still if it is true I wanna figure it out before hand. From what I've been searching.. there is a procedure for the dragons ???? that can be done.. I know rooted with xposed there's a way to mask but I doubt masking from your carrier.

I waited to disable the packages.. and was pulling my hair out with all the pop ups and charging my phone twice a day till I seen your post.. I ain't crossing the bridge while it's burning again!! LoL
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
It was APH1 and it is well known we cant go back to that..
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] therockk:
That's true. There are a few people I can call if the IMEI gets blocked. But like you said those Rogers store employees most of the time don't know there a$$ from their elbow!

Best to check out the note 7 thread for the country where Samsung has blacklisted the IMEI to see how those guys overcame this obstacle.
