since 2 years(or maybe more) Bell/ virgin has upped their game. since about 6 or 7 years ago or so i was with Telus and got tired of the poor reception. So a couple of years later i switched to Bell. Same thing poor 4g reception. it was just in a few places but still not a good expericance( at the time i was with their own respective devices, they were rootable back then). I went with rogers about 4 or 5 years ago. All was fine, great reception. later on, I then decided to buy a note 8 (n950n)when it came out. Got it rooted and everything. Changed CSC to RWC(rogers) and thought i could get wfc and volte working. everything was there but as i figured out and like many others, imei was blacklisted. But reception was fine especially in this area where the coverage was spontaneously bad. so all in all i was ok with it. then when the note 9 came out, bought again international exynos( got the korean again) rooted as always and was happy for a while. like all things in life i was not satisfied with inky good lte reception anymore. had to have wfc and volte. so i switched carriers from Rogers to virgin. Reception to my surprised did not take a hit. I knew Virgin was a bell 3rd party so i was kind of weary of the Lte coverage. stayed with them only for a short time. they didint black list so wfc and volte was working! but i also managed to get carrier aggregation too!

i then decided since nothing more was left to be accomplished to get a galaxy watch. Virgin couldn't support it. so i then switched back to Bell and got my watch with Spay working on it( i bought the W canadian LTE 46mm version) to compliment the phone that wouldint do spay.( cause its international and rooted)

All in All, when you dont get blacklisted and use the correct carrier that dosent practice this criminal behaviour( disabling advance csc features)the exynos devices do a pretty good job! but yeah rooting helps.

i suspect that now, only CA needs rooting. the rest should be working fine on DBT or BTU csc(F). ive had to flash stock recently ( in my case korean csc and i have the options there) . i dont own an F so I cant confirm.

Thanks for the replies. I think I'll just stick to the 855 Canadian version. I'm no longer into rooting , and flashing ROMs to get things to work properly. Those days are done. One other question though, when I go to buy a phone from Best Buy Canada's site, there is a carrier version and unlocked version to chose from. I thought, in Canada, if you buy a carrier phone outright, they have to unlock it. That being said, is there different firmware for an unlocked carrier version and a version that's labeled unlocked from the start? Is this a situation where even though both devices are unlocked, the unlocked carrier version is considered a different phone than the option that is labeled as an unlocked version upfront?

Preordered mine yesterday through Samsung because Rogers site was glitching out so bad. Thier loss I guess.

Trade in value for my note 8 was 240 bucks, so I'll try to sell it privately and hopefully get a bit more for it.

Anxiously waiting for my new note 10+ in aura Glow ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mojook:
The only reason I want an exynos version is so that I can use a csc from a country with built in call recording. I really need this feature for work as I'm on way too many calls to take effective notes.

I regret updating my note 8 to Pie.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
I was at best buy today...switched my pre order from rogers to BB since you get the air buds and free wireless charger.

I asked the same and the "carrier" versions are all unlocked but come with all the carrier bloat, apps and features out of the box.

If you buy an "unlocked" version at least on rogers wifi calling among other things wont work out of the box you will to call Rogers and have them enable it. At least thats been the previous way things work.

Im still thinking ill end up with an exynos anyway since i want the 512gb in aura glow but samsung are idiot's and only offer it in 256gb. I can trade in my snapdragon later on if i want to.

Anyone have any idea why the trade in value of the pixel 3xl is 600 USD in the US and its not even an option here. The only option is the Pixel 3 and when I put the info for my Pixel 3 XL it quoted some ridiculous amount I mentioned before $130 or something.

Anyone here with Telus pre-ordered the phone? My monthly payment would have gone up by almost $50 because now the charge for the phone separately but didn't lower the plan. I'm just wondering if anyone with Telus will be staying with Telus. I already switched.

Telus seems to be charging $300 more than all the other carriers. I don't get it?

Thank god the fingerprint sensor seems far better than my S10 plus!

Going to take some getting used to having the power button on the left side though, would have preferred they left it where it has always been.

let us know how well pwr btn remapping goes
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ryokoseigo:
So If I download the rogers Firmware available on sammobile, and flash it to my note10+ does anyone know if I'll be able to access wifi calling/voLTE on my zoomer sim? Don't really want to waste my time if its impossible to get either of em on zoomer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
I doubt that will work...never heard of zoomer before but if your not running a Rogers sim unlikely Rogers features will work.

If its not a rogers device they are notorious for not allowing these things to work as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
Double.press to open camera and hold to power off work fine. Thats about all ill do with it anyway lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
but apparently in the Bixby app or where ever there are remapping options?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ryokoseigo:
Zoomer wireless is owned by rogers, uses cityphone network.

Would any carrier have this enabled, or is it just kinda something you cant workaround?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
I don't even wanna open that stupid crap lol!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
If its owned by Rogers you might get lucky and it works but I wouldnt count on it.

If you 100% want carrier features to work out of the box you buy that carriers phone.

In the past even the Canadian unlocked devices direct from samsung wifi calling didnt work on rogers out of the box!

Its stupid and I dont like it (since up until this note and my s10 plus i always bought exynos devices) but thats how it seems to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
lol understandable. not tempting the devil is a good thing.

anyways if u do eventually open it "by mistake" id be curious to see the possibilites.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] ryokoseigo:
So I went into Download Mode- used Odin- flashed the Rogers firmware files, using CSR, not CSR home, and when my phone rebooted up and I went to settings it seems like nothing happened... It's still identical to the previous firmware... is it not possible to flash firmware with current odin, or did I do something wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
well apparently ure flashing the same thing over the same thing. also state ure current phone model.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
Lol. But you are opening it regardless. They all say Bixby is gone and power button moved to the left... Nope, power was removed and they defaulted Bixby single press to screen toggle.

Small but important distinction.

I can confirm that on my 2 year old exynos s8, dbt flashed, VoLTE and VoWiFi options appeared this summer. Now wifi calling is working fine and phone connects to band 66 by default for freedom, which it didn't do without root tricks before. Can't get VoLTE to connect without root though. All prerequisites are there but have to go to ims settings to force it and without root... Maybe next international firmware update ?, but I like the way this is going. At least for those on carriers that don't whitelist their phones only. Cough, Rogers, cough

Will play more with it to see if I can get VoLTE working without root for s8.

Don't wanna mess with my note 9 for now as everything is perfect the way it is.

Anyone here having issues with the Theme Store? On my Note 10+ it shows no icon sets or always on displays available. Wallpapers and themes are fine but icons and aod's both show up as "not available".
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LitoNi:
just checked and yes having the same issue here. it shoes the notes like you mentioned under "featured" but under "top" it shows everything.

i am currently facing two other issues:

Samsung Members App

anyone here have issues opening the samsung members app? it is supposed to support canada, but for some odd reason it says it is not, and i cant even open the app. i didnt have this issue before on my s10.

Volume issue

whenever i disconnect from my car's bluetooth, it messes up my keyboard sounds. So whenever i type quickly, the sound volume jumps from soft to loud and so on, so its like "tap tap tap TAP tap tap tap tap TAP tap tap TAP tap" etc... this gets really annoying when youre typing. I tried clearing the data/cache with no solution. usually i reboot or wait a long while the keybaord volume stays at the normal soft volume. anyone else having this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] nighthawk29:
Good to know the theme store issue isn't just me. Didn't think to open the "top" but just as you said everything fine there at least.

As for Samsung Members app, I've had no issues with it and works fine for me.

As for the volume issue, I'll test it out later if I get a chance but I generally don't use keyboard sounds and only haptic so haven't noticed that particular problem yet. When I get a chance to try it out I'll post back. Busy day ahead of me today though. Are you using the default Samsung keyboard or a different keyboard? I generally use SwiftKey but will try with both.l and see.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] LitoNi:
yea spoke with two live agents and i couldnt get the samsung members app to work, even deleted my samsung account and created a new one.

the volume issue i thought it was just the samsung keyboard but unfortunately it is not, i tried with swift and google keyboard all suffer the same issue after connecting to bluetooth., this is so irritating. i might have to bring it into the samsung store and see if i can get a replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
Ordered a new Note 10+ from eBay but got the wrong Chinese snapdragon version N9750/DS. I tried selling it but found a guy in Kijiji who bought his from swifttronics and traded for the N975F/DS. Rooted it within the hour and now everything works excellent. Very glad it all worked out ???
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] mostwantedd:
Hi. Im planning to buy note 10+ next week. Should i buy it from samsung or FD model from swiftronics? What are benefits of FD expect for rooting? I only root for adaway otherwise i dont really care abour rooting as im using adguard whoch works well.

And does GD has any warranty in canada?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
I would definitely recommend buying you're note10 from this seller on eBay. It's $1,200 shipped next day FedEx. You only have to pay $75 in duties but it's a lot cheaper than swiftronics and they also offer a one year accident drops spill etc and warranty.

I've purchased for phones from them in the past five years and they are absolutely excellent. It's up to you let me know if you have any questions.

Ask for rooting, I've rooted and I have AdAway viper4android and a bunch of other little tinkerings from Dr ketan Rom

Thanks for the teply. Im not comfortable spending this much money online specially on eebay. So what is the bene3of FD over canadian model of note 10+?. Otherthan rooting.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
2 sims (FD is dual sim) for some. but root is by far the bigger advantage( custom roms and recovery and such but also some downsides as well from rooting as everyone knows.)

yes. note 8 and note9 work with:

https://1drv.ms/u/s!AhXVLDDj8g3AgeA6IyH1iTzQAGB4MA?e=gcppxZ

with some help i could probably add note 10 to the csc pack or something. id need to know where csc is. is it a partition like s9 or note9 or is it in system/??? like before

I'd also maybe need to know what the device/midle name is in build.prop (eg: note 9 is crownlte). id like to know for the note 10 and note 10+ aswell.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Brava27:
Actually, it's strange. I have a Mexican Sim card that I put in and wifi calling appears. I believe my mistake is using this old bell nano sim that doesn't have WiFi calling. Been using it since 2016 at least. I am going to change it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
some of the features do get provisioned upon sim insertion and depending will or will not show some features.

Does the dual Sim model work with bell network? And is it auto switch, like it doesn't matter which phone number is called it rings?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
Editing csc for extra features still has their uses, but yeah, seems like slowly Samsung is slowly clawing back providers stranglehold on some advanced features. I did these tests on Latin American duos. And to note, when I also tried Hong Kong snapdragon version CA did not work. Maybe they are playing with region specific setups (just a conjecture as my Singapore note 9 has no CA, no matter what we tried in relevant thread, as well as your Korean brother lol, but my s8 from Panama got it this summer. Could be all dictated by that last, non-editable part showing in system. Bmc/bmc/xac/xsp for example)

That being said, there is still that discrepancy between exynos and local snapdragon (excluding Chinese) regarding network signal and speeds. Not sure if it's optimization or modem quality or intentionally gimped, but as [MENTION=4463570]force70[/MENTION] and others have noted, for few years now local phones show more bars (think this is fake, as when Canadian phone has 2 more bars compared to international, both show same dbn and asu in settings) and have faster average download speeds when connected to same band, on same provider, both using, or not using carrier aggregation

That being said, I picked Canadian 10+, to see if I can live without root.

Don't like it, don't like it, don't like it, but I'll try.

If I was still with Roger's (or others with tons of bandwidth and frequencies), wouldn't even think about it. But with freedom, I need to squeeze every advantage phone can provide.

Then again, Roger's never, and still don't, let me register VoLTE and VoWiFi, unless bought from them, so fukem.

This is example of my average speeds in gta on Freedom with Canadian version on carrier aggregation compared to average 5 - 60 (certain locations) without, on international phone.

At same time, robellus in few tests I did yesterday with triple and quadruple carrier aggregation, are in 200 - 300 range. No regrets.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] force70:
as you noted in the previous post speeds with an actual rogers device are much higher and I have better signal and call quality as compared to my exynos devices. its also nice having wifi calling on when Im at work as rogers signal there is terrible.

not having root and being able to flash sucks, very hard to get used to for me. i may get a note 10 plus exynos as well just for that lol. plus i want a white one in 512gb and thats not avail for us in Canada.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Idan73:
Lol. Yesterday when I was doing speed tests with my friends phones, s9 with Rogers and s10+ with telus, in milton, they were freaking out about their data. Seeing how at close to 300 Mbps they consumed almost 1gb data for couple speed tests. Signal as far as number of bars I found to be fake as dbm and asu don't lie. As for call quality and stability, I really had no issues on Freedom (compared to when I was with Roger's with same exynos phone without advanced features) as they don't discriminate and whitelist for VoLTE and VoWiFi like Rogers. Main reason why I left them in the first opportunity. I believe bober did the same for similar reason. He ended up with Bell after walkabout. ?

At $32 bucks per month for their 60 everywhere plan that includes free ?? data and call roaming I was OK with anything over 5 mbps. The rest is just a bonus.

Miss it too.

Hi everyone,

I got an issue with my xiaomi redmi 4 prime/pro, I tried this morning to install the havoc rom and I got an issue with it. Then I reinstall an official rom from the xiaomi eu website and from there, it is a big mess.

Now, my phone won't launch at all. The best I can do is restart in fastboot mode and that's it. I can't even start the recovery mode.

When I try to play with adb on fastboot I can't do anything, I always have this message :

error: device unauthorized.

This adb server's $ADB_VENDOR_KEYS is not set

Try 'adb kill-server' if that seems wrong.

Otherwise check for a confirmation dialog on your device.​

So I don't know what to do from this point. I spend hour on google to find a solution but I'm stuck with this error.
[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] brugava:
I recently got this phone from my ant. It is a used phone and I replaced the charge connector because it wasn't working.

Firstly I thought it was the Glass Screen Protector which I recently installed in the phone. However, when I reboot the phone it becomes normal again. It already happened two times. I was playing Clash Royale and I saw sometimes my cards were not selected after to touch them. I literally had to touch it hardly to work. The same happens in the home screen. It is not smooth to scroll or swip the screens.

Any ideas what could be the causes of this? An app? The Glass Screen Protector?

Thanks in advance.
