Which model for Canada?

It looks like AT&T is getting model SGH-i337.
Does anyone know if Canada will be the same, or if it will be the 9505?
Just thinking ahead to ROMs and exploits.

I believe we are getting sgh-i337M

Ugh. That surely complicates using custom ROM's? Or can we use 9505 ROM with the correct radio ? Sorry, been awhile since I had an SGS II and it was an Int'l one for this reason!

I know there are a few custom rom ports for the galaxy note 2 LTE from the International Galaxy Note 2. I am sure there will be some custom roms that will be ported to work on our galaxy s 4. Europeans are getting some of the galaxy s 4s with the same hardware as we are.

I have been reading today, the bootloader may be locked on the galaxy s 4.

Hello fellow excited GS4 waiting Canadians! Is there a pre-order and arrival thread for us?
thanks

If you preordered through bestbuy canada, it is a mess, no s4 at least until wednesday next week.i was told today, they are having a hardtime to get phones even for pre-orders. There is a shortage of phones for the galaxy s 4 launch date

Canadian shortage confirmed
http://mobilesyrup.com/2013/04/26/s...omises-to-fulfill-demand-in-the-coming-weeks/

I've been using a SGS3 (GT-I9100) for about a year now. My area didn't have LTE and I wanted better access to ROMS,so it fit the bill perfectly.
Now that LTE is available in my area, would the 337 or 9505 (lack or 1700MHz LTE the only key difference?) have better options for ROMs?
Any guesses at this early stage in the game?

Official Canadian Galaxy S4 Owners Thread [Availability, Discussions, Help, Tips etc]

You may’ve heard that carriers all around the globe where Samsung Galaxy S4 has been launched are struggling to keep up with the enormous demand. In Canada, we’ve seen TELUS offering $50 $100 credit to customers willing to wait for two weeks to get their unit.
Samsung Canada is well aware of the problem not just TELUS but all other operators in the country are facing – there are still not enough Galaxy S4 units out there.
Those who pre-ordered Sammy’s flagship should be getting their phones now. That “should” is there because not everyone will get it at the same time. Pretty much all Canadian carrier issued a statement saying that pre-registration numbers are higher than any other device before, including the S3.
Samsung on its behalf is asking users for understanding. Here’s what they said on Facebook:
Samsung is excited to see the level of pre-orders that Canadian consumers have for the GALAXY S4. Samsung Canada had intended to ship pre-orders by the 27th, but due to the overwhelming global demand of the Samsung GALAXY S4, we will not be able to meet the pre-order date of April 27th for all customers. These orders remain the highest priority with carrier and retail partners and will be fulfilled in the coming days.
No doubt, this is a sweet problem for the Korean company and its shareholders…
Anybody got his hands on it??

I got my Telus galaxy S4 on Saturday at BestBuy.

I have one pre-ordered for May 3rd. Was told it may come sooner, on May 1st.

Would like to see if I can get my hands on one for Bell asap.
OT: should we be discussing the Canadian S4 in the ATT S4 forum now? Seems that info for us is all over the place now:

Can you comment on whether the Telus bootloader is locked? Have you tried to root with the "AT&T" exploit?

I have not attempted to root yet. I do not think the bootloader is locked through. I will root when a custom recovery is avialable and stock rom is as well.

I don't blame you I believe you can tell if the BL is locked by booting into the (stock) recovery? I'll feel much better if Canadian BL's are unlocked as I know I'm going to hate Touchwiz and there's plenty of talk about lag.

There is no lag on my telus s4. There is only one carrier app. The at&t version I hear has lot of bloat. My s4 is lot faster
Than my note 2 and just as smooth.

I don't believe we'll be receiving the i9505 in canada. The i9505 only houses LTE Bands 1800 , 2100, 2600, 800 , 900. It's missing 1900, so chances are we are getting the SGH-i337 and i337m which support our LTE freqencies in Canada.

But they don't have the same phone model. As you know it's I337 vs. our I337M and bootloader locking comes down to the carrier.

Software is a little different but hardware is the same. Galaxy s 3, note and the note 2 were the same other than the software.

Yes, but my point is that their bootloader being locked is due to a request by AT&T. We do not know if the Rogers, Bell, and Telus requested locked bootloaders yet.

The Canadian carriers might not lock their devices, but if they do, the ATT unlocking method (if/when it comes) will apply to us. Thats why we should be watching that forum much closer than this one.
This thread really is in the wrong forum; what will be released in Canada will have very little to do with the device listed at the top of these forums (the Exynos S4). If you are Canadian I would stay very far away from any exploits posted over here.

Well, to get back on-topic, I just received an email from Fido saying my phone has been shipped to my local store by UPS. I am guessing it will arrive tomorrow.

My position on the reserve dropped from 268 to 263 on launch day at Rogers but I've been sitting at 263 ever since.

Where did you get the LTE version? Does it support US bands?

I got mine in hong kong. It just came out.
From gsmarena you can find the compatible lte bands:

There are just too many lte bands from different carriers, and you will have to check.

I think the performance is really average.
I also get a lot of crashes on gallery app. I have lots of picasa web albums. And when scrolling in the gallery app, it just shuts down.
Nevertheless, I think the screen and size are awesome.
I am hoping all these can be fixed by an update or custom rom.

Thanks. Looks like it doesn't support the 1700 AT&T band. I'm sure it will be out in the US soon enough. I'm tired of buying tablets from AT&T as they never seem to get upgraded. I was hoping for a unit directly from Samsung. Hopefully, there will be a Nexus unit with LTE that is bigger than 7 inches.

For those who are experiencing sluggishness and forcw close on the gallery app, it is caused (i think) by the new cloud sync feature. It is under settings. I turned everything off (displaying Dropbox photos, videos, and documents sync... Etc)
Gallery app is fine now, and all my picasa albums are good now. I will probably do another hard reset and redo everything again.

Make sure you pick the right tab version (310, 311, 315) and then pick XAR (cellular south) for US. Although not sure there is much difference for wifi-only models.

About to get Google play edition HAVE 1 question

I know the playstore nexus 5 doenst support wifi calling with T-Mobile sim.
But my question in theory is ... if I root do and will T-Mobile Branded n5 roms work on the play edition N5 ... with WiFi calling ?
Seeing like how we can flash T-Mobile roms on att htc one or s4 and get wifi calling since its baked into the Roms?
Seeing as its unbranded phone one would assume this is already a possibility if not yet already
I havent seen any mentioning but wanted to ask before I buy it.

His response is on point. There are no tmobile versions of this phone, therefore there are no tmobile roms for this phone, therefore no tmobile wifi calling is possilble.

So we can flash T-Mobile roms on the google play nexus Not the carrier branded and it still wont produce wifi calling

Lulz there are no T-Mobile roms. There are custom roms such as Cataclysm, Mahdi - ROM, and others, in addition to other AOSP based roms, but no roms from T-Mobile. The n5 you buy from T-Mobile is the same phone you buy from Google play

Your phrasing is a little abrasive, just saying.
But why is the t-mobile rep telling you it supports wifi calling? You should ask the rep. Clearly the rep is misinformed.

It is a feature on a tmo branded device. This is not a tmo branded device... The moto x is another non branded tmo device. Sadly it only works on to branded phones... Ones that have to branded Roms. I don't even think the iPhone 5/c/5s has WiFi calling either.

Let's clarify something here: there is only one version of the nexus 5 (OK 4 if you count colors, and storage space )
Whether you buy the phone on contract, off contract, from retail store, or Google play store, your getting the exact same phone. An already carrier unlocked, bare bones android experience (which in turn allows you to customize your way and not be limited by bloatware). No specific carrier software gets pre-installed.
So no specific T-Mobile software gets preinstalled. Unfortunately I don't know if there's a way to add support for what you asked, as I don't have T-Mobile or know anything about it lol.

I already knew the answer, but thanks for answering this poor guys question the way it should have been answered in the first place! It's a shame that it's not as easy as baking the WiFi calling feature into a custom ROM. Or better yet it's a shame nobody has been able to do it... yet. It would give me a legit reason to root!

On the old G2x they were able to include wifi calling on Aosp roms. So it can be done, not sure if it's worth the time to find out

Being a T-Mobile phone had nothing to do with it unfortunately. If that was the case they would have wifi calling on CM on the GS4, but they don't.

Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

OP, I think you're confused by the fact that there are no variants of the N5 like there are with most phones. Let's take the Galaxy S4, for example. There a Verizon variant, a Sprint variant, a T-Mobile variant, an AT&T variant, an international variant, and a Google Play Edition variant (and probably others).
With the N5, there is ONE (1) variant (yes, I realize there's an international version, but for the purposes of this post it's not relevant). Whether you get the phone from Google Play, Sprint, Best Buy, Amazon, or somewhere else, you're getting the exact same phone. Since there are no variants of the phone, there are also no carrier-specific roms like you would see with other phones like the GS4. There's also not a Google Play Edition N5 - it's just the Nexus 5, period, end of story. I realize that it's a difficult concept to get your head around, because I can't think of any other phone that's been made and marketed this way, but there ya go.

Does the Gear S1 (AT&T) work on T-Mobile with Note 5

I've seen mixed results with the Samsung Gear S smartwatch 1st gen working on T-Moible with the Note 5. Does anyone have this combo? If so was it hard to get the Gear S unlocked and activate with T-Mobile? Does the AT&T smartwatch work just as good as the T-Mobile one? thanks
