Hi all, I have a Verizon HTC One (M7) that I've brought with me to Canada. According to Verizon, because the phone is an international 4G LTE phone, it is already unlocked. I plan to cancel my Verizon number and get a new service from one of the wireless providers here (Telus (Koodo), Rogers...

Hi all, I'm wondering if I may trouble you with a quick question. I recently bought a Galaxy S5 (Galaxy S5 G900F) in the hopes to have it future proof as I move to Canada next year and would like to have a solid phone for about two - three years. I'm based in Ireland at the moment and wondering...

Hey there Captivate general q&a community, Canadians in particular I'm in the process of switching from my rogers-based provider (SpeakOut Wireless, trust me, don't get a sim card with them, unless you don't use a whole lot of shortcodes, like #TAXI or if in winnipeg 287898 for busTXT) to my...

Hi everyone. So I Just got a note 2 the other day after having been using a nexus 4 for the past six months. I never use stock Roms and haven't since I got my s3 a year or so ago (I seemingly change phones often...). That being said I was looking into how to root this device and which Roms were...

This is a quick writeup of the progress I've made using google wallet in Canada. As of now, everything works except I get an error when I try to pay saying that google wallet does not yet allow international payments, but I have been able to bypass the activation screen and get everything else...

Hi everyone; First off, if this is in the wrong area, I'm sorry. I've been looking to get my girlfriend a new phone for her birthday. She has an old Optimus 3D and the screen is cracked. I've been looking online to buy a Optimus G for her and came across a bunch online. Most of which are...

I'm running Goldeneye 8.0, 4.2.2. I'm looking to update to new MK6 baseband so I can flash goldeneye with kitkat but when I flash MK6 through mobile Odin, I get an error saying that memory is protected or something like that. Can anyone help with this?

I am tempted to import the Z1C from the US, but first I wanna check if other canucks have LTE working. On Rogers if possible. I wonder if this phone will suffer the same fate as the Z, which came months after the US and very close to the Z1's release. Hopefully, I am wrong and it does come here...

I the past the Z made it very late in its life and through a single carrier (Bell), the Z1 was a bit more widely available. I was curious if anyone had any inside info of whether the Z1C might be crossing the border.

i'm coming from a GNex, where flashing was a trivial process, so this whole bootloader/modem/ODIN situation is a little confusing for me. i have a local Canadian N900W8 and want to flash the CM11 tekmasek (sp?) build. I'm currently running XNOTE 5.1 on MJ4 baseband, with TWRP 2.6.3.7 recovery...

I noticed an OTA update on my Bell D803. I didn't install it since my phone is rooted. Bell Mobility website is showing that the latest firmware is 10d. I can't find one for Rogers and Telus. The website states that the update will improve connection to data services when roaming in select...

Hello everyone, I have a galaxy s 4 GT i9500, running android 4.3 (build i9500XXUEMK9). The phone is sim unlocked and I am using it on virgin mobile canada. When I go Mobile networks>Network mode, the only options available are WCDMA and GSM, there is no LTE/4G. After some search, I found out...

I'm running (badly, it's very crash-y) an HTC One X (evita) with CM10.2 and I would like to: a) SIM unlock the phone from AT&T, and then b) send it to my sister on the Telus network in Canada for her to use. I wanted to consult this forum before doing anything else. Elsewhere on this forum it...

Hi all, I was just wondering about following: I own a Canadian Version (Rogers) of Moto X. Rogers did not start rolling out KitKat upgrade to Moto X yet. However, there should be OTA upgrade roll-out some time soon. My Moto X is unlocked and I'm using it now on non Rogers network. Question is...

Hello Community, I recently purchased an unlocked t-mobile G2 for use on the Bell and Wind network. Im thinking of rooting my device to enable the ability to uninstall all the t-mobile bloatware as well as the carrier IQ software. I have two questions: 1. Being a tmobile phone on a Canadian...

Can someone please post a link to the stock D803 Canada (Rogers) camera apk that will run on the stock LG rom? I've experimented with several of the modded stock cameras but I can never seem to get decent audio from video recording. I know the G2 has overly aggressive noise cancelling, but my...

Disclaimer: This may not be the right section for this thread but I didn't know where else to put it. And since I verified this setup on a Nexus 5, I figured this is the best bet. I stayed in the US for a few years and have an active Google Voice number that my friends in the US call to contact...

Hello, I was thinking about buying a Moto X from the motomaker website on Monday when it is $150 off. Now i need to know if I will be able to use a Canadian credit card to order it. I will be shipping it to the border to pick it up so shipping isn't an issue. Also i would like to know if the...

My friend has a G2 and wants a hand putting a ROM on it, but I'm not sure which ones work for it. The only sections I see for Android Development are AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint. Is there a specific one of them that will work, or another separate forum for the Canada version? Also I...

Hi, I have been away from Android for some time now. So, bear me, please. I am having an issue with a Canadian (SGH-I337M) S4 because it is not operating on my Middle-East LTE (1800 MHz) network. In theory, the hardware of my phone and the i9505 is the same. And I checked the specs of my phone...

Hi all, I have a US GSM Galaxy Nexus (currently in use on T-Mobile with 4G working well). Does anyone know if this will work in Canada? I've googled and gotten very mixed results from my searches. It sounds like it may be fully compatible with Wind Mobile, but I'm not sure. Thanks in advance!

The Hong Kong variant has LTE 1800/2600, I was wondering if anyone has gotten it working with Canadian Carriers after unlock.

Hello! I'm just wondering If anyone has tried the octacore version of the S4 on Mobilicity or Wind mobile (aws 1700/2100 bands)? I'm currently in Asia, Anne think it'd be super cool to pick up one of the international octacore versions here, but since my preferred carrier back home (in Canada)...

Hello everyone My question is simple. How can I get google wallet on my T889V Note 2? I live in Canada and my carrier is Mobilicity. Will I be able to get google wallet working? And does my cell carrier matter? thanks!

As per the subject, I have a Canadian (Bell) Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337M) and, upon checking my battery, it shows a model of B600BU, a capacity of 2600 mAh, and NFC capability. A search of the Internet with the keyword "B600BU" has only returned a few unofficial replacement batteries with...

This is for people whose Kies won't work. Mine didn't work, but that's probably because I had Windows 8. I copied this file from my temp directory while flashing my phone via Kies (on a friend's PC) 0. Download and extract: here 1. Put phone into download mode (hold volume down while booting)...

Guys, I am in Canada, I have rooted unlocked Samsung Galaxy i717D that I just got replaced with one friend, I previously had LG 2x. I am big fan of Miui room, I found " TMT_MIUI_2.0_2.8.2_Aroma" for i717 and flashed using Odin. All completed, when phone rebooted, showed a kernel error for a...

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...

For Canada, JB is pushed via OTA today on Rogers. Update # 9.8.2.124.18 I am looking for sbf or fastboot files for xt910 Rogers Razr if someone has found it please post it. Thanks

I've had my Note 2 for a little over a month now.. this phone is amazing. Period. I came from Galaxy Fascinate, its like I switched my Cavalier for Jaguar CX-6!! I'm with Telus in Newfoundland.. St. John's to be exact. Off course, like most of you here, I didn't have the phone an hour and I was...

Hi! I'm looking for anyone who could be kind enough to make a back up of the new NHL app that just got released. I really need to have it on my Xperia to make the subscribtion worth it. Thing is the NHL is for some reason blocking the app in the Swedish play store. So once again anyone who can...

I had flashed takju for long time, but finally decided to root and activate Google wallet. I live in Canada. I got the wallet to work with the patch, however when i made a wallet account i put a Canadian address. Which stopped the wallet from working. When i put US, NY and place a random postal...

It was just last September that I e-mailed Google asking if and when they will support the use of TD Interac VISA Debits in the Play Store to which they replied: I'm not sure when they started supporting it, but I had no more credit on a VISA gift card so I tried my VISA Debit from TD and it...

I know, it's not officially supported in Canada. But, I know quite a few of us have been using it anyways, and it's been great. However, as of today, it's stopped working. I can still get in over a browser, but all music on my phone is now unavailable, online or offline. It still says it's...

Can't seem to find any benchmarks. does anybody know which device is faster? I'm assuming the the Razr HD maxx. But by how much? I'm considering buying one of em if I can't get the Nexus 4.

Hi, all. I'll be visiting Montreal in a few weekends and I wanted to know what the options to get data for my S3. I'd prefer some kind of prepaid 2GB plan or 200 MB plan if this is available. Anyone know if i can get that and on which provider?

My TouchPad was acting wonky so my friend tried to follow the YouTube instructions to open and fix it. Not surprisingly, he did not have the skills to either fix it or put it back together. Does anyone know of a business or individual who repairs the HP TouchPad in Toronto? I would like to get...

I've made a request to file a complaint with the Canadian Competition Bureau regarding contravention of the Competition Act by LG and WIND Mobile. I need the original advertising from LG Canada and WIND Mobile which states that the Optimus 2X is upgradeable. Would someone please post them...

Hey guys I've tried asking in the threads for these fixes but to no avail so hopefully someone will be able to help me if I make a thread for it. So my issue is that I've been using Google Wallet just fine with no issues using the "build prop edit, reboot recovery and move wallet apk into...
