[Discussion] Canadian Galaxy Note 7 - Note 7 Guides, News, & Discussion

A place to discuss all things Canadian ..eh !
Very excited to preorder the Note 7
Am at Sherway Gardens ready to preorder and they have 3 colours on display and boy does it looks sleek...especially Coral Blue
Noone lining up as of yet
Go through phones like socks and only got rid of S7 Edge because I miss the S Pen

Folks, is there a Samsung shop in Montreal where I'll be able to get one? I'm off there in a few weeks and it'll be a lot cheaper than buying one in Chile

So successfully preordered ... Unlocked ...$50 deposit...has to be Coral Blue
Handled demo...feels incredible in hand now that they have balanced edge on back and front...fully symmetrical
Colour is gorgeous and still gives shimmer that silver platinum does
The metallic frame is a very delicate copper/gold ..subtle enough not to be "feminine"
A huge leap forward from Note 5 and a smaller leap from S7 Edge but worth it when comparing to Note 5
A few photos ..now the wait for Aug 18/19

Im curious too, I have a similar situation.
My old lady is going home to Toronto and I am going to meet her there. Between the 300 Canadian Best Buy will give me for my Note 5 and the strength of the USD I could pay the device off at 550 USD, give or take a few bucks.
I actually just looked at best buy and their retail prices in Canada without plans

#26 for a Rogers black one (planning to switch to them as I'm tired of Koodo only offering these phones via online ordering, plus I'm considering getting an LTE-capable tablet soon.
(yeah, I'll pay more with Rogers, but I'll also get WiFi calling, VoLTE, Roam Like Home, etc).
Would love to see one of these in person though as I'm worried the edges could be annoying like on the s7 Edge.

I promise you you wont be disappointed with the edge on the Note...both the frame edge which is so well done and seamless....and the screen edges which are very narrow and more of a design element than anything else...will not have keyboard accidental issues

Im #18 on rogers pre order list.
Already have a delkin 1900x 128gb sd card on the way
TPU case on the way to use until i can ghost armor the back
Cant find a glass screen protector in stock anywhere..too soon?
Guess i will be putting that gorilla glass 5 to the test

Note 7 is def a keeper i think though...doubt i will get a nexus this year either as they shrunk the screen and took away the stereo speakers from what ive been reading.
Sent from my Note 5 or S6

I've gone through a lot of phones over the past year and a half. I told myself my S7 would be the last new phone of the year, but obviously that hasn't worked out as I've now pre-ordered the Note 7.
I have learned overall that I keep coming back to Samsung phones though, so I may at least be able to lower the number of phones I get in a year. This year I started with a Nexus 6P, then Galaxy S7, and now Note 7.

This year I got the s7e, N6p, G5, IP6s, and now OP3. Passed on the HTC10. I think the note 7 will be my last for the year.

:silly: I might but the OP3 is a great replacement. It's not a nexus per say but from what I've seen the specs are going to be sub par. But yeah I guess you're right. I might be swayed.

What! Locked BL that's BS. The Axon 7 is the device I was feening for but since it's Chinese and relatively unknown I decided to go with the devil I know. Besides the only brought their price down to match the OP3. Had the Axon 7 been available at the same time I might have taken a chance on it. Those specs are on point. Glad I didn't though. Locked BL and all.

Yeah the specs are amazing on it and the stereo speakers are a huge selling point for me.
Axon has said its when not if they allow a BL unlock but we have all heard that before.
If they unlock Ill nab one as my secondary device likely . Hell we could buy an axon 7 and a OP3 for the cost of one note 7 lol

[Q] Too late now to buy GS2 I777 or no ?

Hello
I am thinking seriously to buy the GS2 of AT&t to use it with my ST SIM card...Now please I want to know your opinions , should I go for this Galaxy S2 , or not ? should I wait some time for something new ? I know this device is of August or Sep 2011 technology , but stil the hardware is excellent ...
Another point is that I can get it for around 450$ locally from AT&T store (plus tax extra) .. is that a good price from a trustful seller ?
Thanks
Edit : I will not buy it through ATT contarct ... I will pay full retail price and get a ST SIM...
Personally I would at least wait till May 3rd for the SGSIII announcement even though we wont get it will end of the year but its nice so you know before you jump the gun.

I have to agree. If you can't wait, it's a nice phone if you don't need 4G.

Can you explain more please ? you mean LTE ? I don't think my city would get LTE at least for a year from now...
Examine your own needs thoroughly.
I don't have LTE, I don't have huge hands (No One X or anything above 4.5 for me!) and I wanted a phone that could last through a day and then some on moderate usage. The GSII in my opinion still trumps other newer phones. It's got great battery life, huge developer community, great screen, and the almighty Exynos to power your games

Yes, LTE is what I meant. If LTE is not a big deal for you, and you can't wait for the Galaxy III, then I say go for it.

I love my SGSII! But, if I were you I would also wait until the SGSIII announcement. I am a gadget freak so for me it's hard to stick to one phone for long, but I'd have to say that the SGSII is one of the best devices one could own.
I bought a refurbished/like-new gsII for $250 just 2 weeks ago to use with ST. Im am very satisfied with it thus far(was previously using a Samsung infuse 4g). SGH-i777 runs noticeably faster though i prefer the larger 4.5in screen on the infuse. And yes 4g is available and works very well through att + straight talk for me.
If your looking for a bargain, i would look for a used gs II (~$250 is a great deal for buying a smart phone like this off contract). But if you have 400-500 spend, you might as well wait for the newer phones which have larger screens with better resolutions and better specs overall.

That estimate seems really low. The S2 (both international and AT&T) is still selling for like $550 new. You think the S3 is going to sell for less than $500? It'll probably be more like $750...

That's a smart point indeed ...
AT&T stores and website are selling the GS2 I777 for $449.99 now
Maybe a little less in 1 or 2 months , ~$350-$400
And for sure GS3 price would be skyhigh in the near future , ~$750 or more when released , at least 3-4 months from now ... Clearly out of my budget..
The SGSII is a great phone and it still has a few more good years left in it and like mentioned in earlier postings still competes if not blows away newer devices. if LTE is not a big deal for you and getting the latest and greatest right away is not your thing, then by all means grab this phone. It has great community support and with it being somewhat of an older model it could be had at a bargain with some research. i got mine for $51 including taxes with a 2 year agreement which i didnt mind cause I just got added to a family plan at Fry's electronics. Anyway grab one or not you wont be disappointed.

well, full retail price will definitely be up there but you can usually find people reselling newer model phones between 400-600 in new/like-new condition off of craigslist/ebay/amazon. Also i pretty much consider everything above $500 to be in the same price range. If your really gonna drop $500 on a phone, might as well add the extra 100 or 200 to get best of the best.
If you look hard enough i know you can find great deals out there, or you could always pay full retail too i guess.

You should always be extremely wary of buying a phone from craigslist/ebay/ecrater...I've seen a few sellers purporting to sell the Galaxy Note for $250-$450 new, and they've all had no ratings and unsigned web pages. Suspicious to say the least.

bull. i sell phones all the time and obviously if its $250 for a note then thats a scam why bother. got a skyrocket for sale now for $350
you don't need LTE cause you're running ST.

What do these things go for?

Thinking of ditching the Rezound and going with a Nexus. Phone has been out for 7 months, ICS has been out for longer than that and we still don't have it officially, and by the time we do, Jelly Bean will be out which will NOT be coming to the Rezound, etc...
I am just really tired of having phones that are always a year behind the curve in regards to the OS.
Even when the OTA comes out, if they don't release the source code, we won't get RIL working and so the Rezound just seems like it is already at a dead end, development wise.
You can already see most of the devs moving on to newer phones. The latest leak is likely the OTA, so apart from a bug fix release or two over the next 6 months, this phone has hit the end of the road IMHO.
I am thinking of selling it and getting a Nexus. So my question is, what would a Rezound in excellent shape, with a couple cases, S-Off, etc... go for on the used market?
I am not trying to list it here or sell it, but I rather just seeking advice on whether it is even worth my while to sell it.
Hit the market up and compare.
ReZound
Will do. I guess the part that sucks is that you cannot buy the unlocked one for $399 because it is GSM. I have to spend $800 on the one for Verizon. Not sure I can justify that... hmmm....
On the other hand, whatever you buy today will be long in the tooth 6 months from now. It's tough, not to mention expensive, to stay on the bleeding edge.
It's your money of course but I've always felt that if the phone did what I needed, it didn't make sense to replace it unless something dramatically better, faster, whatever, came along.
I would honestly wait, because after having a rezound you will be unhappy with the nexus
It has a inferior screen, bad signal issues, charging issues, and it overheats like no phone I've ever had

first off swappa is a joke if you ask me. here look

$250, $260, and $330
i sold an s-off rezound with box, beats, charger all cables etc, extended battery and a case for $375 yes $375 on ebay. Last week too. phone even had nicks on top right corner from being dropped and was stated in ebay auction and was bought for my buy it now within 24 hours. so if are going to sell for $300 you are nuts. if you know know what you are doing you can make money on these phones. i have made good money on all my phones in my signature ($100+). i also bought a brand new insurance replacement off a lady for $260 and was sold for $425 a few months ago. So by all means you can get money out of it. dont stand for the idiots saying well on swappa and xda want to sell they only go for $250. screw them they are trying to steal it from you!!! you can sell for $325+ easy.
go ahead i know somebody wants to flame me......

Signal used to be bad, but it's actually pretty good now after the update. Rezound overheats worse IMO, my CPU only hits about 65-70C. That's when im playing LE while tethering and switching to surf the web. The screen could be better, but it's passable and looks nice when you play HD videos. HD IPS displays make me jizz, all that extra detail.. Shame Sammy used pentile, losing so much detail cause of it.

Stay on topic

It is official, VZW sucks

http://www.phonearena.com/news/HTC-...vember-13-stay-tuned-for-our-coverage_id36513
HTC DROID DNA for Verizon lands on November 13, stay tuned for our coverage
November 20 is quoted as a potential launch date
Agreed, each year I become more and more frustrated with them. Planned on leaving and getting the Note 2 on another carrier but it's cheaper for me to stay with VZW
My contract ends March 2013 so I'm thinking of moving onto my friends T-Mobile line instead of adding a ghost line on my family's just to get the Note 2.
Effing ridiculous.
Dear Verizon,
Due to the poor PR on this phone, my poor fingers will have arthritis for scouring the internet for a simple little date. As an apology for your negligence, I will accept an apology in the form of a Fedex package on my office desk.
Hmm. Maybe I'll buy this, just to pass the time waiting for the Note2. Then, return it once it comes out.
We have 14 days to return a phone, right?

lol I thought about doing the same thing. Yes they do have a 14 day return window, but you have to pay a restocking fee.
Sucks big time. Its even cheaper than the note 2. Am just waiting for other carriers to ramp up their Late coverage
Vzw does suck.

$35 restocking fee.. to have a sweet phone to play with for ~14 days then get my even more sweet phone... I'm seriously tempted.
It makes sense though if this phone is indeed released on the 20th that they would not want the Note II in-stores on the 23rd as well. It would obviously take away from their DNA sales... but seems so BS to me that this could possibly be a major factor in why we are getting the phone so late, maybe the only factor.

Then save up for your new phone, IDK. Getting a phone just to play with it for a few days seems pointless, what happens if you drop it and break it? Scuff it beyond repair, etc... Just isn't worth it IMO.
Well guys, looks like the phone is up on VZW site for preorder 11/19 ship date.

12 hours has to be a joke. Lol that battery is super small.
Talked to a rep and obviously BS'd a bit.
Shawn M.: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
You: Yeah, I wanted to order the note II
You: I just had a question about why is this phone being released so much later than the other carriers?
Shawn M.: Fantastic I am happy to help you.
You: Is it because of the DNA? I can't decide between the two
Shawn M.: No it is because they are selling out very quickly and they are on backorder.
Shawn M.: What do you like about them?
You: I like the stylus one one, but then again since I can get the DNA so much faster I might prefer that
You: But here is my question, so if the stock is filled before the 27th, can we expect the Note II before that date?
Shawn M.: It could happen yes but It will most likely not come before then.
You: A lot of people have said online that the 15th is a possibility, so i'm guessing those are just rumors? I myself was told by a VZW employee at a store near me that this was also true
Shawn M.: It can happen but i don't want to get your hopes up and then it not come early.

The battery is pretty bad, but what about 16GB storage with no SD card? That right there makes this phone a no for me. All of my apps/games alone cant fit on my Nexus 7 16GB version, and thats with no photos or movies. The screen is apparently one of the primary selling points for this phone. What good is it without the ability to have several HD movies and photos available on the device, in addition to all of your apps/games? I'd rather wait impatiently for Verizon to release the Note II.
Release isn't until the 21st, pre-order starts today.
Going to chat and see if I can get the DNA when it's released and play with it and return for Note 2. Restock isn't a problem. I just got a new job.
Quoting someone from AC because their assessment is correct.
"I dont see how people on a 2gb shared data plan can use this phone without upping their data plan. Which is exactly why Verizon ordered the phone without an microSD slot."
Lol, she didn't seem to enthusiastic.
Khyiera: Hello. Thank you for visiting our chat service. May I help you with your order today?
Austin: I was looking at adding a new line and getting the Note 2. I see the DNA is out before then. My question is, can I add a line, get the DNA, play with it and see if i like it and if i don't, return it for the Note 2 when it releases?
Austin: I know it will be within the 14 day return policy.
Khyiera: Yes you can.
Austin: My main problem was the battery. I see the DNA has a 2000mah battery and Note 2 has a 3100 mah battery and that's a big thing for me.
Austin: But, okay. Just wanted to make sure I could do that. I understand there is a restock fee, how much is it?
Khyiera: $35
Austin: Okay, I appreciate your help today.
Khyiera: No problem!
---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:04 PM ----------
Instead of the DNA, I may switch to a different phone that's cheaper. $200, then $35 and another $100 is expensive.
My GNEX has terrible signal now a days and batter. Gonna have to look and see what's good to use for 2 weeks.

I'm sure the black would have more visable scratches than the silver one, so no biggie. I wanted silver anyways since I always get dark phones. Switch it up this time.

Thanks for the info. But ugh. What the hell? Why is T-Mobile always at the bottom of the barrel? What is so complicated about offering both colors, since HTC is making it anyway? (And don't even get me started about the 64 GB thing. Hey let's artificially limit the availability of the more expensive model so that we can make less money by not selling them to people who want them! Yeah, great idea.)

Maybe it's my skeptical nature, but it seems like a lot of tmobile customers receiving the One are seeing quality issues more frequently than in other markets, so I have to wonder if HTC, scrambling to meet demand amid quality control nightmares on the first builds, has a few grades of quality, where ATT gets the better stock and tmobile gets the scraps! I dunno, but I wouldn't put it past T-Mobile to say, 'sure! we'll take the scraps!!"
who knows!
I've been pestering @Tmobile on twitter and their chat reps for about a week now and they always respond "we have no info on that at this time". The silver One seems to be selling well so hopefully they will pick up the black One soon. I'm holding out til maybe june to see if things change before I move on to a different device but I am very prepared to be disappointed.

This has been the same song and dance with HTC since Windows Mobile 6 was "all the rage"... HTC has NEVER released a device that didn't take one or two revisions to get right... And I've owned a ton of them. Never again will I buy an HTC device on launch... Everyone else can beta test for me!

And that's the only one I never had LOL. Everyone said the HD2 was the best phone HTC had ever made. I had the MyTouch 4G and the Sensation 4G and they both were horrendously built...
my sensation i got on release date and it's been fine... ,inus that fall down the stairs
The HTC One is sort of a reincarnated modern version of the Hd2. I love it! I got my tmobile one yesterday and there are no build quality issues. In fact it's better than most people who have been receiving these first batches of ones. All my edges are prestine with no "gaps."
I feel like the tmobike version is a custom unlocked HTC one. My brother has stock fireware on his and it said att for a second while he was using it. I put trickdroid on mine within the first couples hours after receiving the phone.

Um you mean the same song and dance with EVERY manufacturer? It's not a htc thing. The 1st batch of iPhones had QA issues,the 1st batch of GS3's had QA issues. Yes being a early adapter sucks but don't just pick on htc and make them out to be the only ones!
Ugh... I really want the black one! I've had nothing but light colors phones in the past and i am bored of it! I think black looks better on cases.. just my opinion.. we have 20 days to return the device if ordered on tmobile.... maybe somethign will show up..

[O'Canada] Axon 7 for us up North

Hallo
So we up north are many times over seen and handled by many OEMs as a subsidiary of the US. There are pro's and con's to this scenario. With ZTE Canada regarding the Axon 7, I have gathered the following:
1. As of mid-August 2016, only Newegg Canada is the sole legal distributor of the Axon 7.
Comment: Not too bad but it would have been nice to get Amazon.ca and BestBuy.ca included. Amazon.ca has really good return policy.
2. We're stuck with the Passport 1.0 warranty package as opposed to the Passport 2.0 package that is setup for the US. Currently this is what is listed for this Passport 1.0 warranty:
30-day risk-free trial
Full two-year product warranty
Free Premium Protection to cover repairs out of warranty
Free advanced exchanges of devices
Free two-way shipping
Support for new Android updates when made available
Comment: Not sure how good or bad this is in real life. I hope others who have bought the Axon Pro in Canada can share their experiences.
3. General after sale support? I don't even know if ZTE Canada have local support or if we get passed to US support. If for example, I want to invoke the Passport warranty, do I deal with a local person or US?
4. Delivery of device? I ordered my Gray on July 27th, just got a shipping email from Newegg.ca literally 3 mins ago declaring that the device is shipping out of NJ, but do delivery time not showing up as yet.
Hopefully we can share our experiences especially with regards to after sale support.
Have any of the Canadians seen if you're getting the US model or the G (international) model?

Hi
From what others have said:
1. Canada is getting the US model.
2. All deliveries are sourced from the US, even with US packaging, hence there was some initial confusion as to what warranty we'll be getting (Passport v2 - that was in the received box vs Passport v1 that we Canadian are really 'entitled' to).
Hi
So I noticed that many of us are posting and updating a our experiences on other boards, I prefer XDA as its where we'll be getting the best community support going forward for us geeky types.
As a heads up:
1. There is an active thread at ZTE USA forums.
2. Redflags forum have some us posting there.
3. I heard of a sub-Reddit thread but was until to locate it.
So far my Purolator delivery is stuck on shipping label created status since last afternoon with no recent updates. Others have said that they have seen their Purolator status updated showing customs clearance.
I read that someone had received a package from Newegg.ca (out of NJ) that took 6 days to be delivered in Toronto! Unbelievable that we have a courier service that can't provide decently prompt services.

Don't track your package through the Purolator site. Try tracking it with the link in the tracking email Newegg sent you. When I track my package through the Purolator site I get absolutely nothing. With the link in the email, I get details as to where my package is. It's supposed to be delivered tomorrow in Toronto. Not sure if this will be the same for you
Received mine around 3pm today. Can confirm it is the US model. Happy to answer any other questions you might have
Mine showed "shipping label created" for a day as well - rest assured, it's likely in transit and you'll see a more accurate update once it crosses the border.
Mine now shows it's arrived at the Toronto sort facility and should be delivered later today (Aug. 18).

Would you recommend it now or I should wait ?
Hi guys, thinking of upgrading from my lg g3 for the axon 7 here in Canada due to the sensors drift in vr apps and the good old overheat problem when doing cpu intensive tasks. Should I wait before buying it to see or you would recommend it even in the current software state ?
I'm in Calgary and have had my Axon 7 for a week or so now.
So far I'm happy, there are a couple of things that are weird (that damn notification bell is a pain) . Lack of themes ( I like to change the look of my device a lot).
The camera is better than what I expected, the audio (both front facing speakers and using headphones) is killer good (I got the Monster N-pulse free with my pre-order and they are by far the best headphones I've used ).
The build is top notch, feels great in the hand and solid.
Battery is great (on Wind Mobile) I get around 5ish hours.
The screen is great, works and looks great with a vr headset (I had a cheap one form eBay but Walmart started selling ones with a Bluetooth remote for $30 and its quite good)
Overall I'd give it a sold 8/10
Price is great for a factory unlocked phone without contract.
And just for reference, this is my 12th phone this year lol. Some include Nexus 6p, iPhone 6s, Samsung S7, OnePlus2, LG G4 and others .
Give it a couple months for customs Roms and this could be a real true "Flagship Killer"

How do you compare it with the Nexus 6p? In other words, do you think it's worth getting rid of my 6p for the axon 7? I'm really liking the sound of the audio quality of the axon but LOVE the pure stock and camera of my 6p.

A question like this is always subjective to the person and their preferences.
Now to me, I loved stock Android (still do)
But the 6p was too tall, too slippery and the build was pure garbage. After having the 6p for a week, I noticed a small bend, nothing too wild , but still a bend. Now I didn't have a case on it, but I never abused it, just kept it in my jeans pocket (no skinny jeans here lol).
I like the way the Axon feels in the hand better. As for sound, the Axon wins because of the Dolby Atmos, it just sounds better.
Now this can be fixed on the Nexus with Viper4Android, so it's moot lol.
If you can, hold onto the 6p, order an Axon and try it out for yourself. If you feel that the Axon is the way to go, sell the 6p. If you're not happy with the Axon, send it back for a refund (I think newegg.ca doesn't have a re-stocking fee)

Yeah you're right, my question is pretty subjective. Your answer helped a lot though, thanks. I already ordered and received the Axon. My issue is that I'm not positive if Newegg will honor giving me the refund if returned within the 30 days. Their standard policy which is what the phone is under conflicts with the 30 day return period. I'll have to give them a call. Thanks again

I received my grey version 2 days ago... already rooted and loving the device. Coming from the S7 Edge, the transition was a little strange because I had got accustomed to holding the Edge differently because of the edge screen (given that I use a case).
So far no major issues other than the smaller software quirks that so many have listed. I use the provided TPU case until I can find a replacement case on Amazon.ca or ebay.ca. Nothing I saw fits what I like... like the typical Spigen Neo Hybrid series. Just wished it had wireless charging, so I am ordering a Uniqi receiver (which comes with USB type C dongle).
Made a number of calls in the Mississauga area, no issues with voice calls. No issues with LTE connectivity or Wi-Fi.

I can't speak for Rogers, I am using Koodo (they use Telus and Bell cellular network in Ontario) and so far all is well with me in West Mississauga. Open a thread in the Help forum here on XDA or the ZTE official USA forums to get device specific support from their USA moderation team.
Try invoking a network settings reset on the device and see if that helps at all.

Anyone also seeing the back up account setting greyed out in the backup & restore settings?
Also, off-topic, but to those who received the headphones from NewEgg, can you confirm the audio cable is removable? The coiled cable on mine seems like it's firmly fixed...

If you're talking about the Monster headphones, the audio cord is removable as it comes un-attached in the box .

Do you have to run the bootloader in order for it to work on the Canadian network?

Unlocking the bootloader has nothing to do with network compatibility. The A7 has all the bands used by Canadian carriers enabled by default.
Interesting...my headphones came with a (somewhat long) coiled cable already attached that don't seem to be removable - there's a separate cable in the box with the microphone and controls...I've included a picture taken with my Axon 7..
