Galaxy S8/S8+ Canada - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

Hi !
There is some new sub forums for Verizon, AT&T and some other american carriers, but how about Canadians carriers to refer to ?

Do we really need rogers/bell/telus/freedom/virgin/public/koodo/711/sears and so forth forums? I think a general canadian forum would be nice, and an international too, but why segregate everyone?

I don't want to separate everyone but a Canadian forum for our W8 would be nice !

[AVAILABILITY THREAD] This Is The Official Thread For Availability For All Nations.

Availability Thread​
This thread has been created to give everybody the opportunity to share availability information. I am aware we have ones for different countries, but its looking like we will have one for every nation soon. These will be closed and further opening of such thread will also be closed. I really dont like the segregation of different countries as they often turn out to be "exclusive" discussion threads. XDA is all about a international community so i really dont want this forum to go against that ethos.
So lets all share that international spirit
Please only discuss availability in this thread, we now have sticky threads for off topic, reviews etc. This has been done to pool information for all users, hopefully making it a better place for all. I hope this has cleared up any questions.
EDIT: Do not post about moderation issues, these should be handled by PM​

sounds about right but for contract little less, myself having 3 lines due for upgrade this month and next month, the upgrade price offering from ATT will be nice and afforable IMHO

I'm for sure going the contract route... And lol Damn, you're lucky.. I'm not due for an upgrade until another year.. No experience with selling on ebay, guess I shall sell this galaxy s2 back to sprint and apply that towards the contract price
Better then nothing

It seems to me that the mods are on a power trip in this forum! Relax with the thread closing. It's a forum for god sake.

Sir, Please read the OP and try to understand...
BTW it is a Development Forum, feel lucky OT and this thread are avail for you, believe me relaxation is at it's most. Thank You
Ideally I would like to argue. But, I think people from India should just take these discussions to an India forum rather than xda.

Yes. You would have to. Also its always best to ask the seller directly. I suggest. You wait a few days, unless you really want that asha
Hello,
we the members of Xda have been facing a problem with opening a official Indian owners thread on the new opened galaxy note 2 forum..
The thread has been created 3 times in past 2 days and have been closed by the newly assigned mods in the forum..
I request you on behalf of all the people from India that this thread be created or reopened (i didn't know who else to turn to as I have requested the mods there several times)
Why u keep closing thread when this types of thread have kept on existing and are running without any problem on many other threads..
What the mods exactly want the title/content is not being cleared..
Here are some thread that are running since the launch of that phone till today without being closed/problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1588700
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1623525
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1570507
This are just some phones I owned and their threads I used on daily basis..
Why problem only in note 2 thread..
Either specify what exactly the title/content should be or reasons why threads are being closed only here..
We find problems and difficulties finding latest stores, prices, availability, contacts of owners, and it would be really appreciated if thread be kept exited/reopened..
Thanking you..
Sent to broncogr, _Alex_ and senior moderators and moderator panel and this thread specific moderator..
Please understand and reopen or let a new thread be created..
Thanking you..

@sumeshd I don't even understand why you guys are pursuing this so much. Create a thread on a friendlier forum, post the link and be done with it.

If you got the Exynos version... unfortunately no.
It has no LTE hardware and so any further developements in this technology wont be available on it.
If you don´t believe, ask wikipedia

can a moderater make an lte sub forum ??

hey folks just wondering if one of these coool azz moderaters can make an lte section or something of the sort for the vzw gpad lte ?? thankyou folks,,steve
Or maybe a subforum is what you have in mind?

sorry, my mistake ,it would give us a place to chat ,thankyou,,steve
Why don't you make a thread called LTE chat? There's no dev for that device at the moment so you will probably have to wait for root.

Lollipop confirmed for early April release by Bell

Good news folks. Lollipop will finally arrive for TMO and Canadian Note 4 users:

There are far too many threads on this; and this is the T-Mobile section, not Bell, rendering this thread irrelevant.

Apologies, I only posted in here because the Canadian Note 4 variant is compatible with T-Mobile and there aren't any Bell/Rogers/Telus Note 4 threads. The TMO Arcadia firmware is actually the modified Canadian Note 4 firmware.

There is no Canadian Variant specific thread. mechanically the Tmobile variant is the closest to the Canadian W8. So I see no problem here.
Plus all development Roms for the W8 and within the T-Mobile android development section.

No but seriously too many threads nothing that has to do with us we are tmobile not att not sprint not bell. So why people see the need to post stuff like this is ridiculous. I remember a time when moderator would boot this to stickies.
God why do I get on here lol mods don't even complain as much as users. The guy made a valid point on why he posted it here. I second it ??

Canadian roms run on tmobile FLAWLESSLY the very fact that they are getting an update and we HAVE someone who make Canadian roms in this section, is reason enough to announce. Stop sounding like the self righteous people over at the International forum.... if you are not interested in the information simply continue by and let the tmobile users who are excited for Arcadia dance on this.
Better yet go go ask the mods to make them a forum. I'm sure if you petition enough they will have it going ya?
Smh xda is a community site, time like this I wonder if that is the case at all. Why alienate certain group of people? Than again I don't blame you...if the mods specify this place is also for Canadian users we won't have this problem

I agree I feel bad for the device lol but hey with a kernel they flash with eassseee
I agree that there should be a section dedicated to the folks in the great north that have similar phones to ours in the US!
But I sincerely doubt that T-Mobile themselves won't release Lollipop in early April when they and Samsung haven't made any progress, according to their website. And no T-Mobile support specialist is willing to divulge on any time frame.
LG G2 and G3 both moved to stage two at the same time 2 weeks ago while first being added when the update page was first announced and released and they are still in stage two as of this posting.
I suspect mid to late April for T-Mobile Note 4...
May
BAD ASS NOTE 4
and, most importantly, why do we bother posting "news" that consists of a Twitter post...
next thing is we will post news based on what tea leaves tell someone..
Lmao the g3 got lollipop
BAD ASS NOTE 4
Rogers confirmed (for what thats worth) as well.

Early April probably.
Let me clarify I wasn't insulting anyone I was simply stating why so many thread about tmobile and lolipop. I for one welcome anything that gives us a stable rom. My issue is Im a veteran member and thru the years with every major up date there are multiple threads. Either way there is no need for profanity in these forums . I actually love Canada I've been it was a pleasant trip.

Looking For The Most Reliable

I am currently running M.O.A.R. rom on my Verizon S5. It has been okay, but it has it's downfalls. I am asking the community, what is the most up to date and reliable rom out there for the S5? Should I just go back to a stock rom? Looking for any and all advice.
This is the wrong forum, you should be posting in general discussion

If its in general discussion, how are only people who are running Verizon S5's going to respond? That's why I started it in here.
