Canadian S7/S7 Edge thread!

That statement makes no sense since roms do not include modems in them...whatever baseband you had on stock you still have after flashing.

Okay, I'm not saying I know why there is a difference in signal. But I know there is, and it's very significant.. I just did some searching and bell uses band 7 where as most us carriers don't use band 7 at all, could this be why I'm experiencing poor signal on a note 7 rom?

Dude....your not understanding.

Roms do not alter your baseband, that is what directly affects your signal.

Im not saying your not having issues im just trying to get you to understand its not rom related as the rom will not alter your baseband....as mentioned.

Flash back to stock....take a screenshot of your baseband...flash the rom take another screenshot.. they will be the same.

One problem you will have is that Wind disables the LTE features of that phone due to Wind not supporting LTE. This means that you will not be able to use LTE unless you change your CSC code to a compatible carrier that does support it. To see what I mean, go into Settings/Mobile networks and you will see that LTE is not an option under Network mode.

How to do this without rooting ?
I mean Without voiding warranty.

I've used this: *#272*Phone’s IMEI Here# trick on my G920W8 before, although, I'm not too sure if it'll work on the S7. I'll try later today and see what happens.

First and foremost you want to back everything up with Samsung's Smart Switch tool on a PC as you will wipe your device changing CSC. http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/smartswitch/
Back up everything and you can easily restore it with the same tool. While it will restore your apps, it wont restore logins or any data like that, so be sure you have anything important taken care of.
The process of changing your CSC is very easy as long as Wind hasn't blocked that option as well, though I don't think they have since I used it last. Changing CSC will NOT void warranty.

To change your CSC (After backing up your phone), open the phone dialer and type *#272*IMEI# . Where you see IMEI, you will have to replace that with your phone's IMEI. EG: *#272*356160072225898# (*#06# will give you your IMEI)
After hitting the final #, the dialer will auto open a menu that allows you to change your CSC code to Koodo (KDO) which will make your phone exactly as if it were purchased from Koodo and give you the proper LTE access.
Again, this does not void your warranty or require root. It just changes the carrier specific contents that are already pre-programmed into your phone.

Finally, I must again point out that this will completely factory reset and wipe your phone. Smart Switch is a very easy backup and restore option that will save all your pics, contacts, apps, etc and return them after the change is done. If you have things in 'Private mode' you need to take them out of private before backing them up or they will get overlooked as part of the privacy settings.

I have done this with the Wind S7. I can confirm it works.

Hey, can you guys let me know what your average SoT for your phone is and if it's the flat or edge?

I've been using KingROM for the last few versions and have really been liking it.

Here's mine (GS7 flat, not rooted, no mods, slightly debloated)

Hey could you let me know what you disabled on your phone? I used to get around the same SoT but since the start of September I usually get around 5.5 hr.

I haven't heard anything about that before now but reading about makes it seem quite common. Now that you have successfully managed to change your CSC, maybe try flashing the full firmware from a different carrier via ODIN. Your CSC will stay as Koodo. That or maybe a factory reset will fix it. Without having experienced the issue myself, i have no experience to offer a proper opinion.
