Galaxy S4 Available in Canada(Bell) on May 3rd

Spoke to a manager today at the Bell store.
They told me they are very sure the phone will be coming to Bell stores on May 3rd. Pricing was not 100% positive but is expected to be around $650 no contact, which is almost identical to the $640 projected for the USA.
(old news) You can pre-order the phone for 50 dollars from most of the various carriers. This is a DOWN PAYMENT.
Just figured I would share since it seems Canada isn't getting too much love Looking forward to the launch
PS. I looked at the Xperia ZL while I was there and it was a very nice phone, I don't get what all the screen fuss is about.

AFAIK Virgin Mobile Canada is getting it on April 26th. I would expect Bell to get it on the same day.

If it's like last year, the phone will be $50.00 cheaper @ Virgin. So get your phone from them if you are with Bell.

Ah, I must have missed that post, thanks. None of the other threads here on XDA have mentioned it.
PS. I did tilt the screen, it wasn't that bad IMO.

Do you have any information about the 32Gb version? Phone reservation is only available for the 16Gb model...

no scheduler about 32gb version

Hmm, Pre-Orders are open now, phoned several bell stores that confirmed they will have them in stock on April 27th.
It will be 699.95 Off contract or 199.95 on a 3 year contract or upgrade.
I cant post links but the infos on bells website

They will only be in stock for those with all the pre - order paperwork AND picture lD. And you must pick up the preorder before May 3. And you must prepay the entire amount. Can't wait!

Perhaps it depends on whether it's a Bell Store or another retailer. My receipt is very specific and the service person said for the last pre-order they got only exact numbers.

I go to london the 11 of august...
I have an oneplus one 16 gb,
I want to change for galaxy S5, nexus 5 or iPhone 5S.
If you like send me an private messge.
Thanks

To my knowledge all 16GB phones are China-edition and thus
a) missing international LTE bands
b) come with a chinese OS (ColorOS) instead of CM
Afaik all early contest winners who won the 16GB edition were upgraded to white 64GB editions.

Your knowledge is wrong.
1. The LTE works fine in Europe for the chinese version.
2. You can flash CM11S stock image.
3. There are 16GB international phones for sure.

I bought mine from lenteen.fr , paid via paypal, received 1 week later
But now they ship from EU (mine was shipped from china) and it should take around 48h

If your buying on Gumtree then make sure you pick it up as there are a lot of paypal scammers on there.
I'm selling one of mine on there at the moment and I have had a few people asking if I would post and take paypal even though I offered to deliver(I travel a lot with work) so you just know they would make a paypal claim as soon as they get the phone.
Likewise if your buying on there you get a lot of scammers looking to pull a fast one.
If you are buying a sealed in box phone then you can't check for the yellow screen until you pay for it.

That's a dangerous statement as neither chinese nor international OnePlus work as expected across all of Europe due to the missing LTE band 20.
Furthermore the chinese 1+ is missing LTE bands 4/17/38/40 which equals to 43% of all LTE bands missing. True it will work in most parts of Europe where the international one is working due to Europe's huge reliance on LTE bands 3/7/20.
Additionally the chinese version is missing 3G/HSPA band 4
Conclusion: my point still stands that the chinese version is NOT the same as the intl. connectivity-wise.

I specifically said "comes with", not that CM11S cannot be flashed anyway. Even if it is not very likely, they could break CM11S official updates based on IMEI, serial or other factors if you are not entitled to it. You would still have the "normal" CM11 though.

They changed production schedule way before mass-producing the device - only a few international devices were shipped with 16GB to journalists and maybe very early contest winners. Fact is that you could NEVER buy the 16GB intl edition.

Just bought mine off Gumtree from a local guy who had pre-ordered but bought an HTC M8 in the meantime.
£320 for a SandStone Black 64GB, brand new and unopened - absolute bargain

Hi there. Im from Barcelona, Spain, and I bought my Oneplus One from myefox.es. I bought the white 64GB one, with DHL shipping service (was here in 6 days) and it costed me 313€ total price (around 270 pounds, guessing) Yes, it is the chinese version, but it comes with CM11S installed, unlocked bootloader, stock recovery.
Works perfect, no problem with reception, calls, signal... not eiter in spain nor uk, as I travel to Glasgow quite often so, so far, so great!
I think it is a great deal, so you might want to go and check the website, I think they have one in english too, but this is the one that I bought it from.
Regards to all XDA community,

Sorry, you're right. No invites for 16gb phones now..
As for CM, since they posted a ROM on their website, it's very unlikely they would ever start doing something you mentioned to the CN versions... Even if the 1% chance came to be, you can always get the latest OTA zip on xda

Gumtree probably best place like I said just meet them at there house or yours exchange details if you feel need. There some good deals ATM

Canadian Galaxy s7 edge discussion

Hey guys,
I think we need our own thread to discuss about our preorders and future development related to our model.
so, I already preorder mine from Koodo and they are saying it should ship after March 17th. But, I'm hopping i receive it by march 11th. So, Those that made a preorder, what carrier and when will you be getting it?

Pre-order at Authorized Bell dealer. Put $50 deposit and will be in store pickup. Haven't heard any news/update with regards to when I will get my phone. Hoping for March 11 or earlier! How come Koodo shipping March 17th? Really disappointed that only black available for pre-order!

Pre-ordered with Fido. My position in line is 139. Down from 142 a few days ago.
If any Fido insider can shed some info on when it'll arrive for us, that would be greatly appreciated.

Pre-ordered at Samsung store. Unlocked and gold color. They told me black color will be available on Mar 11, ETA for gold and silver is Mar 28.

Pre-ordered my S7 Edge from Telus on their website, had to pay the full 500$ immediately to complete the order .. They sent me a link to a webpage with a link to follow to see where is our order status and it keeps telling that it is in processing and will be ship by march 11 .. And only black color is available for pre-order too from Telus :crying:

Pre-ordered from Rogers on Feb 24th. I'm 676th in line.
Could be a loooong wait. I remember getting a call from Rogers about picking up my pre-ordered Note5 about 9 days after I had walked into a store and bought one already. My guess is that Rogers (and the other carriers) won't start shipping until the 11th, then won't be in any hurry to get them to us pre-orderers.
That being said, a free Gear VR is worth an extra week or so of waiting.

Safe to say the ones sold in Canada will have the Snapdragon 820?

I pre-ordered from Bell...got a call this morning to verify my details. The tracking system suggests it'll be in the store within 1-3 business days.
Whether or not they'll actually let me have it that soon remains to be seen, but I sure hope so!

Pre-ordered from Rogers on February 23rd, 47th in line. Status still says open. Hopefully I'll have it by the 11th. You just never know with Rogers.

I preordered the S7 Flat from the Samsung Experience Store (Sherway Gardens).
After much thought, I ended up calling them and switching my order to the edge.
I'm kind of nervous about the screen getting scratched though since its so exposed... There isn't that many screen protectors out either on Amazon (CA)

There is probably like only 3-4 locations in all of Canada.
It's pretty cool though, you get a free Gear VR and 128 GB MicroSD card when you pre-order, plus its unlocked if you buy it out.

Hi guys, look at this:
http://es.t-mobile.com/internet-devices/samsung-gear-s3-frontier.html
Thats the real 4G frontier, I think samsung its scamming his costumers not telling that the version they are buying isnt 4G. The 4G LTE version it will be distributed by mobile companies not by classic retailers because needs E-sim. I really think samsung is scamming his costumers, people is buying frontier thinking its 4G and isnt!!!

I suspect so, if it is the case then i may return the watch. But to be honest being the the UK they never offered the S2 LTE version or others.
I doubt i will use the feature, moreso as it kills battery and i always carry my mobile.

Amazon pre-orders to ship Sun Dec. 6

Pre-ordered mine on Amazon this morning, but it already disappeared from existence on Amazon.com. Even when I click on my email order confirmation, I get taken to a "Sorry, we couldn't find that page" page. (And the "Buy it again" button takes gives me an "unavailable" pop-up)
Also interesting, supposedly mine will be delivered Wednesday the 9th, but then it says, "Release date: Tuesday, January 31st, 2017"?! Fingers crossed...

Ya, that whole disappearing thing and the 31st release date kind of makes me nervous. I emailed Amazon, but haven't heard back yet.

They've changed their minds. Reports now say everyone's getting it on Nov. 18 - but my Amazon order now says Feb 2, 2017!! Also, odd that it's going to be $350 everywhere else, but $382 on Amazon?! Guess I'll be canceling that order...
(They did send me an "order update" email saying I could refuse it or return it if it comes too late. Yeah, I HOPE to have one before February!)

Honestly had the Dubai dual sim Note 7 and S7 edge too much hassle when it comes to warranty issues. Samsung does not cover overseas versions apart from their own country.
The cost alone for the s7 edge is very expensive and no point doing it yourself as you ruin the water seal.
I have gone the local Samsung. I know you want the dual sim as do I but for the repair and other costs no point.

Found another site that ships the SM-G955F and cheaper than the first link.
I can also order an Led case too. I'll probably preorder from them.
I'm surprised that I can order from a third party reseller for even cheaper than Samsung in my region.
I'll probably be dinged with duty when i receive it like when I ordered my international note 7.
