I've never cared about warranty much either as far as root/software issues etc.

but in you have a hardware failure thats a diff story as even Samsung Canada won't touch it.

Will i have to pay customs fee if i order with bh
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
Yeah it's a risk but I've ever had issue with Samsung devices, 15 devices and counting, hoping it doesn't start now lol
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] MaestroSeven:
Just be careful with the FD variant. They are reporting some serious hardware issues. There is a discussion topic in the forums regarding it. I am waiting for the f variant to come back in Stock.

I'm really enjoying the w8 version right now, as is the the wife.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
I'm hoping once development gets going there will be some sound boosting mods so I can improve the speaker. Its total crap as is lol.

Will need an international version likely to flash those mods and I def can't live with the speaker like it is
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] turilo:
I'm currently using the dual speaker mod that was made for the s7 on my note 7. Sounds champ now :D
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Thank god.

Except I can't flash it until I get rid of this turd W8 model lol.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DLG187:
Lol yes, definitely a weak point.

Nothing has compared to my old M8..
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] radrcanada:
I want the FD but this warranty thing is bugging me because I haven't been so lucky. Just recently my main board went on my note 4 and Samsung replaced under warranty. Was all stock, no mods, case and tempered glass since brand new. Looked like new out of box but somehow board went.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
But the note is 2 years old. Newer motherboard technology I'm hoping for? Lol
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
I'm kind of wondering if we shouldn't move the discussion about using the International model in Canada into a new thread. Usually the "Canadian Discussion" threads are about the Canadian models (W8), and any discussion about our handset is being overshadowed by talk of the Exynos units.

Of course this is just my opinion, and obviously this thread would lose quite a bit of interest, but I've already seen where some posts get lost because of all the chatter about importing the International version
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] radrcanada:
Lol, but my Note 4 was only a year old.

Also my Note 2 had headphone port that died after a few months (rooted warranty void).

And my Samsung Glide wifi chip died after about 6 months (rooted warranty void).

Thankfully I left the Note 4 stock during the first year cause a bad main board isn't something you can live without, like wifi or headphones, lol.

Guess you can say my luck with Samsung has been terrible, but I like the stylus, size and UI. Wish my Samsung devices had the same reliability as my HTC's, and BlackBerry's and Nokia's

---------- Post added at 07:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

I've been trying to find an FD Note 7 with some sort of reliable warranty, even if I have to pay extra. Anyone know where I can find one? None of the eBay listings I've found have the Square trade option. One has some other warranty but never heard of them.

Do the credit card warranties cover these phones?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sevael:
I agree. Not all of us can afford to drop several hundred more dollars on an international version, so it would be nice to still have a place to talk about the W8 version without Canadians using the F/FD variant overshadowing the discussions.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Your not wrong but since our bootloader is locked and there will be likely zero development for the w8 there won't be much to talk about lol.

That and many of us will\have ditched the neutered W8 for the exynos version anyway and there will be lots to discuss there.

So its a Canadian thread with lots of Canadians running international devices lol.

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:16 PM ----------

Like I said.... No development not a heckuva alot to discuss lol.

Our W8 is somewhat mostly irrelevant at this point here on XDA sadly

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
Is this not a developers forum where we discuss rooting and development of apps, roms and rootings regardless of device?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sevael:
We still have root, and there may be other root methods developed in the future. There are also topics such as warranties, free gifts, deals for new buyers in the future, etc. Plenty of things to talk about.

No more or less than the US variants, and they each have an entire forum.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
We should all be allowed to talk about our note 7 because we hail from Canada regardless of topic or note 7 model ??

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Good point but if you guys get the F or FD variants well you won't have the w8 Canadian version so what's the point of cluttering the Canadian development thread. This thread should be for the w8 variant only. People with the exynos devices will have to go to the international community thread. It kind of makes perfect sense to me.

Edit: Imagine having to specify which variant you're talking about for every question on a thread that should be about 1 specific variant. Things will get messy, fast. Lol.

That doesn't make any sense. Just because I hail from Canada, am I allowed to talk about a different thing like Kubota tractors on this thread? :)

this is a strange turn of events for this thread...

F/FD/w8, you're all welcome here imho.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] turilo:
I'm a Canuck rocking the N930FD with DR.Keaton rom and root. V4A and the dual speaker mod are awesome together also. great sound now. When my N930W8 arrived to me from samsung I dont think i had it for an hour, still sealed and sold it for 1175. Being locked down for me is just a no go. I love root and having custom modifications on my devices. I know one day it will eventually come to an end. As for nexus devices, sure they're nice but far from the features samsung brings to their phones
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
Amazing news. Have you tried xposed at all?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] turilo:
No I've been staying away from it for now until a proper version gets released. Read up its been causing a lot of lag and battery drain
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
Good idea. As long as I can get some v4a and fonts changing, adaway, I'll be happy.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sevael:
Don't be over dramatic. No one is being told to leave. We're just asking that this thread stay related to the W8 variant.

If you want to discuss the international variant, there are countless threads for that already. Just about the entire forum here is dedicated to those models. Why overrun this single thread with F/FD talk when this is already the

only

place to talk about the W8? It just doesn't make any sense.

As per the subject line, this thread is about the "Canadian Galaxy Note 7". That means the W8 variant.

Really, guys, this isn't rocket science. It's not like this thread is a home or a haven or anything like that. It's a forum thread with a specific topic. Let's stay on topic.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
Nope 7, in Canada. That's the topic. Wanna make a coral blue, onyx black separate forum too? [emoji23] [emoji23]
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sevael:
You're not making any sense. In no way did I suggest that we should have a separate thread for every breakdown of the W8. You're making stuff up now.

And you're ignoring the other points too, conveniently. Fact is, this is the only place to talk about the W8, so let's not clutter it up with other variants too. You already have plenty of threads going on about those. Why cram all that in here as well? Using the F/FD in Canada is no different than using the F/FD in France or UK or Spain or wherever. So why do you feel the need to overrun this thread with it?

As mrnovanova said, it would be pointless to have to always specify which model a person is talking about. The whole point of having a dedicated W8 thread is to avoid misunderstandings arising from things like that.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] SwagGoat:
Got my Galaxy Gear Fit 2 this morning. Shipped on Friday from Ontario. Still debating whether I should keep the box sealed and sell it or give it a try.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
I have plenty of threads eh? Right. Considering there isn't much to talk about with the W8 model, what are you guys gonna talk about anyways? In a development website with a locked down device.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sevael:
As I said, there is root for this device using the Sprint method, other root options may come along in the future, new buyers of the W8 will show up and ask questions, people will want to discuss warranty and sales/deals, etc. There will be plenty to talk about.

Why do you even care? Your argument suggests that you're trying to keep this thread alive or something. Why? Let it be about the W8. What's the harm in that? If it dies, it dies. Just about every other thread in this forum is about the F and FD variants. The vast majority of F/FD users will

not

be viewing this thread at all, so discussing it here is kind of pointless and just clutters up any W8 discussion that may or may not exist. Just let us have our one little W8 thread.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] funkydude101:
Is there an engineering boot image available to download somewhere for the W8?
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
OK. No problems.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Whatever is working over in the sprint forums seems to work on ours also.

Whoops..we better not discuss sprint stuff here its not W8 talk lol.

Sorry..had to :D
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
Will doing the Sprint stuff on our Note trip Knox? I'm assuming yes, but not sure
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
Yes absolutely. Knox is triggered by flashing anything not firmware related.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] funkydude101:
Unless it's different on the W8, it does not trip Knox as you are flashing an Official Userdebug image made for the Sprint Note 7. And with that just pushing and installing supersu with root permissions. So Knox is fine.

That's why I asked if there is a W8 rom because there are some CSC annoyances and issues with running the Sprint userdebug rom on the W8 and there are quite a few reports of Bluetooth devices not connecting properly.

Even better if your in the toronto area.

I just traded in my neutered snapdragon 820 for the FD exynos version.

Had to add $120 and thats it...and there is a one year warranty.

http://www.swiftronics.ca

I figure if i sold mine for 1000 and its a 1200 or so to buy one online plus customs and maybe shopping this is a way better option and they are local so if I have issues easier to deal with.

Not really true as long as the signature is the same. So if the bootloader is locked, the only way it can flash is if the signature is an official sammy one, negating and bad juju for knox.

You're such a bugger Brava. Love yanking those chains don't ya! There is plenty to talk about when it comes to the w8. This thread is just cluttered with off topic stuff.

I have no idea why everyone seems to have ordered that silly gear fit watch. The speaker is sooo beast. You really need it in your life. Plus it would be worth way more on Kijiji as it's not available in stores and worth 250$ US.

Trying to keep the W8 thread alive. Is that Canada Exynos thread up and running yet?

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
You're right. My bad.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Devhux:
I think the reason nobody wanted the speaker was because there's pretty much no information on it at all. No reviews, no YouTube videos (not that YouTube would accurately portray it, but still...), nothing.

I also have my home stereo that has Bluetooth, so don't really need the speaker. I also don't see it selling for anywhere near what Samsung is charging, because once again nobody really can find how good it is
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
I see. I already have a gear s and a Huawei watch so the watch was a no go for me. So I got the speaker. I actually have 2 wireless speakers at home and this one is amazing. The sound quality is awesome. Flossy reviewed it and like he said. It's a go. I'm planning to buy another one as soon as I see it on Kijiji.

[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Good to hear. Sound quality is subjective. Mine sounds nice and loud so it was very hard to discern whether yours was actually Crap or you were just not happy with the quality. Good to know it's the former! ?

Am I the only one who hasn't received their pre-ordered gift yet :confused:

Ordered the speaker on the 22nd, but maybe I'm just being impatient.

Walked into the Sherway store today and asked a rep about the greenish tint I was seeing on my device when viewing at an angle. After checking his own device and the demo units he decided that it was indeed defective and offered a replacement.

Just my luck though that the replacement unit had the exact same issue :p The other rep who was handling the exchange wasn't too keen on the idea of opening more boxes and I didn't feel like pushing it either. He said that it wasn't really an issue and all devices have it...

Maybe my expectations were set way too high after reading those displaymate reviews of Samsung AMOLEDs or maybe I was just super unluckily with getting two units with sub-par panels. The battery life is amazing though.

Alright guys.. Just took the plunge and flashed Sprints tar image on my N930W8. Currently waiting for initial boot, and then if it sets up, I will see if I can get carrier service to work (i'm on wind, planning on adding apn settings) and then off to root!

I'll update this post throughout my time flashing Sprints firmware and rooting it.

DONE. Flashed the userdebug Sprint firmware from the ROOT thread, followed instructions and BAM. Worked like a charm. Now I'm setting up Xposed. YAYY

Knox isnt tripped ^.^

UPDATE: Oops.. I got a little carried away with TitaniumBackup and decided to uninstall the bloatware rather than freezing it. Phone glitched out, rebooted and then froze on a black screen (with 1 random pixel turned on? -- I thought maybe it was a dead pixel I happened to miss, but it wasnt). Reflashing the userdebug and re-rooting lol. (factory wipe didnt do anything).

I just saw TWRP won't work (should have realized that). That means no Viper4Android I'm guessing.

Also not sure if Rogers LTE would still work or not with the right APN settings. I know I wouldn't have Wi-Fi calling or VoLTE, but if I at least had data I'd probably give it a shot.
[Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] weespid:
im on wind in order to enable data roaming menu (took me an painstaking few days to find out how) you will need an custom launcher or quickshortcutmaker and create an activity for data roaming com.android.phone/com.android.phone.roaming

I can confirm rogers 3g works (wind roaming on rogers) i live out of range of bell and tellus so can't say for them. Also people have gotten Viper4Android to work by using flash fire :) good luck if you take the plunge I would recommend flashing the sprint ap with our w8 cp added on that's what i did and its working great for me

Hey, got the Rogers W8 version, noticed some lag on it, with faster or slower or no animations. Was looking for an Exynos vs Snapdragon side by side on YT...but nothing. So pulled the trigger on a FD model, actually two of them. Got one today, and can honestly say it's as zippy as my OP3.
