[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mikee_L:
Hello,

My LG G3 has had a problem for a while now, and it is out of warranty so I cant get a replacement or refund and I would like to get it working. There is currently no MAC Address on the phone, so it cannot connect to the internet or use bluetooth. I was planning on rooting the phone to try and fix this, but I was stopped when the phone wasn't noticed by my PC. It does not give me the option to change between MTP, PTP or just charge but instead shows that the phone is charging as if it were plugged into a wall. I cannot access the files as there is no phone showing up on my PC, but instead found that the phone was down as LGE Mobile USB Serial Port (COM5) under Ports in Device Manager.

I have tried factory resetting the phone but this does not work.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Pulled the trigger. Ordered the note 8 from Telus. Just thought I'd create a thread for us Canucks to shoot the sh**t while we wait.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gagan_Mohal:
How much did you paid and what plan are you on?

Outright price is way too expensive
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
550$ up front. 105$ for unlimited Canada us and 10 GB of data. Yes you're right. It's obscene!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dontbeweakvato:
I aint getting it .. its a snapdragon = permanently locked bootloader
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Why permanently? The snapdragon s8/+ just got root a week or two ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
This is the picture of the note 8 on the Bell website.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dontbeweakvato:
Lol that's only root bro. Yeah a root method maybe be found. But bootloader is to be not unlockable per Qualcomm. But exynos is where the party will be. You can root, unlock the bootloader, custom ROMs, and custom recovery's. Achieving root and unlocking bootloader is two totally different things. Root is like drinking water in the desert, unlocking bootloader is like walking on water.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Are you saying that root was achieved with a locked bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TechBSwift:
Yes it was
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Crazy! ? Well I stand corrected sir. Thank you very much. ?

Best part : Knox is not triggered
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Nice. Hope it works on the note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
And the battery only charges to 80% with the S8 root!

Which im sure they will fix sooner or later.

But someone else already said it...go exynos and dont waste time or money on the snapdragon.

Im not even sure if Ill get a note 8 yet which for those of you who know me is definitely not normal since ive been a launch day buyer since the note 2.

...im just not overly impressed with it honestly.

sent from my Note FE, S8 plus, or S6
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Hey buddy. Fancy seeing you here? At 1300$ dollars for the SD I can only imagine what the exynos version would run you should you decide to buy it. Personally with my employee discount the note cost me around 130$ which is a no brainer.

I also went from s8+ to OP5 and I'm rocking the HTC U11 right now. I'm craving that Sammy goodness something fierce.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Who ya think you're kidding,ya wouldn't be here otherwise,LOL JK.............. :laugh:

I'm a sucker for new hardware. LOL,going against everything I said up to today,I pre-ordered a midnight black T-Mobile US version.

It's a lease,$0 down & month-to-month,I'll probably trade-in by November/December & give the V30 a go & so on.......................

See ya in the Note FE Forum,it's(FE) arriving tomorrow.................... :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Lol......ya i didnt fool you did I bro lol?

---------- Post added at 03:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 AM ----------

Lol...ya we seem to travel in packs lately a few of us!

The U11 is a really nice phone...the red one is amazing.

You could easily sell the snap and buy an exynos pretty much...my exynos s8 plus was a little less than the rogers version.

Dont wanna talk about what i paid for my FE though lol..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
I meant for you. I'm fine with the SD version tbh. But I still don't understand how $950 USD becomes $1300 CAN.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jtcb:
Which is a cheaper route to go to get the Note 8? Buy outright or via a contract?

Checked that minimum plan requirement is $95/mo for 24 months. Price of the phone with contract is $549. So (24 mo x $95) + $549 = $2,820

If I have a $40 BYOP plan, (24 mo x $40) + $1300 = $2,260
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Don't forget the taxes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] jtcb:
Yup.. +12% in BC.

You can get the Note 8 for $130 through employee discount? Wow.. You work for Samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shanti06:
Yes. It's locked to the 1st SIM carrier. But I want to be able to unlock in the future if I want to switch the SIM or sell it.

---------- Post added at 11:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 PM ----------

Yes, you're right. But I need a code in case that I change my carrier/ swap SIMs later. It's easier to sell it unlocked, I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fatbuccha:
I see what you mean. I thought it was not usable until you got the code. Well update me on how you got the code, I may have to do the same thing on my end as well. My phone won't arrive til next tuesday

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Don't even worry about that bro. As of December 1st telco will no longer be able to charge us for unlocking phones. Even now if you call and raise a bit of a stink they will unlock it free of charge. That should definitely be on the bottom of your list of worries.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shanti06:
Oh, great. I trust it covers all phones (bought unlocked then locked to the 1sr carrier). Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Nope. Not bought unlocked. Only the companies who sell you the phones can get you the unlock code.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
In your case if you bought it unlocked from Samsung they should provide you the unlock code.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shanti06:
Darn. I bought mine from BB. And they failed to provide me a code. They emailed me "0".

Plus, they have no idea how to get a code. They said they would call but who knows. So far, they have proven they're not reliable with other issues, too.

I need to think of returning and order one from Samsung before the promo ends on 17th.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
If they got it directly unlocked from Samsung you should be able to call them and explain the situation. I don't think they'll give you any trouble.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shanti06:
Yeah. I bought Note7 from Samsung with agony. Thought BB is better. Guess I was wrong. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DLG187:
Loving the phone so far.

Slight hiccup with Smart Switch coming from the Pixel XL (no apps transferred) but that was it.

Took a while to get all my work stuff properly setup again but man, this screen is something else!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TranceChaos:
I have a choice to outright buy either the Canadian version or the International SM-N950F version.

Which one should I go for if I want to flash custom roms later on? I'll be using Fido sim as well, don't really need any wifi calling features.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BluePhnx:
Custom ROMs go with International note 8 SM-N950F.

The Snapdragon version will be locked down bootloader so NO TWRP recovery which means NO custom ROMs. Root yes but down the road, And no it doesn't mean you can flash custom ROMs you'll need TWRP for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
The initial setup for Samsung is the slowest of all phones in my experience. The fastest was the Oneplus 5 which downloaded and installed 165 apps in under 45 minutes. My Note 8 did it in a bit under 3 hours. That's without the Samsung backup from my s8+. But boy did I miss Sammy...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Now that we've started to receive our phones I was thinking of starting another Canadian thread so we could leave this one unincumbered by non wait related stuff. We could keep this one alive until we all get our phones and our swag. Is there a Canadian thread out there or can someone do the honours and create one?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] TranceChaos:
Ahhh.. never knew that. So guess I can't have any custom rom on my note 5 (SM-N920W8) either? The SM-N920W8 is snapdragon right? I was thinking of flashing rom on it once I get note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DLG187:
Good idea

Btw - anyone's pre-order gift status say anything other than "Pending"?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shanti06:
Did you get an email with an unlock.code from BB?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] BluePhnx:
Don't know about the note 5 (I have note 4). I know Samsung started to lock the bootloaders on S7 snapdragons and up. Could be wrong. But if you look at the S7 forums you'll won't find any ROMs for the USA S7 snapdragons (TMobile, Verizon, ECT) only the exynos versions you'll find ROMs.

What I have been following looks like only the note 8 exynos versions and the Chinese snapdragons versions (SM-N9500 duel Sims version) will be bootloader unlocked. Everyone is saying to get that one if you want custom ROMs. ATM you'll have to wait until TWRP\root gets released for the exynos then custom ROMs will follow suite. Maybe a month wait?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] nighthawk29:
Nope, nothing yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] shanti06:
If having a code is important to you, I suggest you contact them. I wasted 40 min. in BB and still no code. They don't know what to do..

---------- Post added at 06:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:36 AM ----------

Just swapped SIMs, out of curiosity. It worked with both SIMs (of course, different carriers) Is it because one SIM is data only?

Wondering if there is a way to enable the VOLTE on our phones. Spent an hour with Rogers and they say that my device isn't compatible with VOLTE because I did not purchase a Rogers phone! What BS! All they have to do is register new IMEI. IS there a command or trick to enable on our Samsung phones so that we can use on Rogers?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
Yeah he's right. If your IMEI is not part of their inventory they can't just add it. That's something you should have figured out before buying the phone. If features like VoLTE and wifi calling matter to you then you have to get the phone from Rogers or whoever the provider is.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
VOLTE is useless
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DLG187:
Same boat here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
I sent a request and the reply said that all I have to do is register my device and the gifts will be sent in 6 to 8 weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] DLG187:
Fingers crossed.

Thats about as long as it took for the Note7 gifts i think.

Lol no the exact opposite.

The w8 note 5 is exynos...and is not locked down and there are tons of roms for it (well there was but its old now so probably not as much).

The note 4 was the last snapdragon note in Canada.

You need to read more bro...all this wonderful information is easily available here on xda!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
Note 2,3,4, 5 (exynos) all rootable unlocked bootloaders TWRP, Note 7 and 8 switched back to snapdragon and locked bootloaders for Canadian cell providers. Had to buy Note 7 and 8 from elsewhere for exynos and unlocked bootloaders.

Same with S3, S4, S5, S6, S7. They were all unlocked bootloaders with snapdragons and exynos for S6 and S7 but S8 followed the Note 7's footsteps with locked snapdragon.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Exactly.....i honestly dont know how anyone here on xda wouldn't know this unless you had never owned a dammy device before.

SO I picked up a 256GB emperor edition from Korea. It is Confirmed to have every single LTE band that AT&T uses. I put my sim in and only get 3G not 4G. Called at&t and they said they need to re-apprpriate the IMEI for the USA as it comes up as a 2g/3g phone because the SKoren SK telecom IMEI assigned to the phone is different in the USA. IS that True? Anyone know how and if I can get the Phone to work on 4G LTE on at&t or do I have to hope they get it right? I paid $1400 for this phone I don't want to use a 64GB version I have been waiting to have 500+ GB on a phone for so long.. Any TIps? Hints? Recommendations?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Firstly...thats a bad ass phone!

But im confused you said at&t but this is a Canadian thread?

None of us are running at&t up here so we cant help you, wrong thread bro.

I have read a few US guys on at&t having the same issue and it was the same imei issue and sometimes they even needed a new sim card.

Gentlemen,

I too picked up my Rogers Note 8 Friday. Has anyone noticed that the screen sensitivity isn't what previous Note's were? I've read that this is a known issue on the S8 and the Note 8..... No fix yet....... I unboxed it and immediately

put a glass screen protector on it, which I know made it less sensitive......... I'd rather not use it without one, but the Gorilla glass 5 is supposed to be scratch resistent..... don't really want to find out that it's not with a $1300 phone.

Suggestions? There's no setting to adjust......

On another note, there's wont be a way to load custom roms on to it due to the locked down bootloader?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dr. Claw:
No, NCIX only has the Snapdragon unlocked model you should be able to get retail. Exynos I've seen on eBay, Amazon (US), PDAPlaza (CAN), and B&H Photo (US) ... specifically speaking of the 950F model, which is what you'd want to buy in Canada. If you are interested in dual sim the 950F/DS model I've seen as well at the places named above. I think the PDAPlaza prices for the 950Fs are slightly less than what you'd get for Canadian unlocked from Samsung, Best Buy, etc.

I wouldn't buy the South Korean 950N models, unless you REEEEALLY wanted 256GB internal storage. At least with the F model you can basically use it on many of the Canadian carriers straight up

Has anyone got it from MYCELLACCESSORIES.CA

The price is 899 ( incl tax ) after the 10% off coupon on their site.

Has anyone got this ?

It is SD version. I am okay with it as long as I can put the rogers csc and make it work for wifi calling.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
You can use the N model on our carriers also...my note FE works perfect and its Korean.

In fact going N right now is better because alot of the F or FD devices do not have the OEM unlock option. The N models have it.

Without that you may as well buy a snapdragon

It appears MyCellAccessories is somewhat of a scam, according to some posts on redflagdeals. One other thing, assuming you can get it, you forfeit any warranty from Samsung as well since they're not authorized reseller.

I had the dreaded pink line issue on my S7 Edge screen the morning I was meant to sell the phone. Fortunately it was repaired within 2 hours, under warranty. At least living in the GTA, I have access to the Samsung repair depot should I need anything. But you're right, if the phone is built how they should be, the best case scenario with warranty is never having to use it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
True, but even if I had rooted my phone, had pink line of death, I would haven't demanded the fix it. That is definitely Samsung's fault. A friend of mine had that line but he's too lazy to go fix it for free lol
