Just a heads up to those of you in the U.S. that are waiting for the Int'l 3G/Phone version...It looks as if my preordered Note 8.0 3G+WiFi Int'l N5100 should be shipped very soon from Negri Electronics (Las Vegas) here in the U.S. :) FYI, Negri Electronics is showing these as "IN STOCK" at the moment. Your browser user agent must be in "Desktop View/Mode" to see the full details of stock availability.

(EDIT: So I just checked the Negri Electronics site again at 6:40pm PDT today (May 10th) and it shows "BACKORDER". :( Hopefully a bunch of you got your orders in before they ran out of stock!)

http://negrielectronics.com/samsung-n5100-galaxy-note-8-0-16gb-3g-unlocked-white.html

My credit card company sends me email alerts every time there is a transaction over $300, and they just sent me a Transaction Alert for a charge from N.E. :) I have a preorder in for the Int'l Note 8.0 and IME, Negri Electronics will only charge your credit card when they have stock in hand ready to ship, so my fingers are crossed. :) I'll keep you updated.

UPDATE on my purchase from Negri Electronics:

I received an email from Negri Electronics today with a FedEx Tracking Number for the Galaxy Note 8.0 3G+WiFi (GT-N5100). :D

However, it is being shipped directly from Hong Kong and not from the N.E. location in Las Vegas, so it will take a few more days to get here than I originally expected (Los Angeles area). :(

Other devices that I have purchased from them have shipped from the L.V. location so I didn't expect this when I placed my preorder. If I had known ahead of time, I might have ordered one from eBay seller 'never-msrp' in Houston, TX.

Either way I'm looking forward to getting it. ;) I just wanted to let anyone else who has preordered from Negri, or is thinking about it, know what's up.

Hi there!

Everybody in my office says it is the funniest way to make calls with such a big phone if i put that big tortilla near to my ears...obviously i use bluetooth (Motorola HD S-9) and works great.

by the way im from Mexico and received from Hong Kong by ebay seller.

I love this device.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] aeon101:
I definitely will. After I sold my Note 2, bought 8.0 3G + Samsung bluetooth pen (when I'm at work). Holding in at my aer in privacy is ok as using in my car via bt speaker... and everything is just fine...:)

Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 has leaked which resembles very much to Galaxy Note 8.0.

Just wanted to make people know that it's cool. :good:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kable:
Only 1GB RAM and no Quad Core CPU. That hurts.

Might as well get an Asus Fonepad or the upcoming Nexus 7 updated version.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] TheNeighbor101:
And since te Note 8 isn't that popular and more expensive, they refer to the Tab 3 8" as a big S3 or S4. I guess that this is the real low end competition of the iPad mini, not the more powerful Note 8.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] cheryanne:
I picked up my 5120 last night to be my primary (only) device. I've gone from a Note 1 to the Note 8. I've very happy so far. I rooted it immediately then updated it. It's working brilliantly.

I'm on Telstra using LTE (Australia).
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] niceiceman:
i do

i am !!!! with bluetooth of coz..

on holiday, i still use my I phone instead of note 8, easier to carry around
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] aalupatti:
Can some give a short review about carrying the device around, eg: while going for shopping etc

I am really tempted to get one and use as my primary phone
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] TheNeighbor101:
Tablets are great to use because of the large screen. I started leaving the Note 8 at home since I have my Note II. I find the Note II easier to handle while outside, of course, and the changeable battery is a big plus for heavy use. The Note 8 is just too large while out commuting. You'd need a bag. I suggest you get a bluetooth ear set and a smartwatch to avoid taking it out during calls or text.

It's really great to use the Note 8 at home, and for drawing. Split screen multi - tasking is easier with the big screen.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Slipurson:
I consider using the Note 8.0 as my primary phone at work, i have a S3 Mini as a workphone and a S3 as my private phone, also i use the Note 8 alot at work and it feels pretty unnecessary to carry around 3 devices.

With a bluetooth headset and a flipcover the Note works great as a primary phone, but as i dont carry a bag or have big pockets it is abit harder to use it as my primary at weekends and such. :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] afblangley:
I use a N5100 as my sole phone. I carry it around everywhere. It fits in any of the pockets of the cargo shorts I wear daily (I live on a tropical island). It fits in my zippered Franklin planner case that I sometimes carry around to serve as my wallet. It will also fit in the pockets of some jackets, though I don't have much experience with that. I don't use a case because it would make it too hard to gain quick access, and add unnecessary bulk.

I have several wired and Bluetooth headsets, but most of time I find it more convenient to hold the headset up to my ear. Though I admit I don't talk on the phone much. And I don't care much about people's opinions about how it looks.

The Note 8 is significantly larger than some 7 inch tablets. A difference that might dramatically affect portability for some. But the flip side is, there's a big difference in the amount of information that can be presented on screen.

Bottom line: its a big (size and heft) device that I'm always aware that I'm carrying. Most of the time it bulges. But for me, it's worth it. Everytime I pull it out in the grocery store to check my shopping list. Everytime I put it in the holder to use the marine gps. Everytime I find myself standing in line waiting and decide to multitask. Everytime I look at the screen I'm reminded of how much easier and more pleasant every task is on a tablet. Prior to this, I owned a Samsung Tab 7.7. I could not go back to using a traditionally sized phone.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] MR.MEMORYLANE:
So i want to get the 5120 model because I want the brown color one but I noticed that the one selling in Negri Electronics 5120 doesn't have the HSPA 1900 that i need for 3g for Tmobile in Las Vegas Nevada and some on Ebay have it and some don't. I've been doing some research online but some say it has it and some say it don't. Are there 2 different 5120's ? I just don't want them to say it does and then it doesn't and I have to go through the hassle of returning it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. .
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] afblangley:
I wanted a brown/black Note also. I held out as long as possible before reluctantly succumbing to a white one.

I think there is only one model of N5120, which besides missing a 3G frequency doesn't have LTE compatibility. From the official Samsung site:

So apparently the photo gallery will only show pictures you take with you camera. So where are the other photos like screen shots and saved imaged from texts and the internet. I cannot locate them. Is there a 3rd party photo gallery app we can download to view these photos?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Wallaby8:
Press the "My Photos" slide in the main gallery. It will take you to album view where you can see screenshots and downloads.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Litebulbcw:
Sorry to hijack is there any way to get rid of the Facebook photos inside the gallery I hate that thanks for the answer if there is one?!
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] mark7201:
I've read this is a bug that HTC is aware of but have also read that HTC support told a user this is normal operation. If you are rooted you can freeze "Facebook for HTC Sense" which stops the photos from populating your gallery but still leaves a blank "Friends" panel...which I think is better than nothing.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Litebulbcw:
Good to know. I'm having connectivity issues as wellso I may swap to an s4 if it doesnt get better soon.

I want to start a study on Google play market. First, I need to collect all the apps' information from Google play. Unfortunately, I can only see the top 504 free apps (21 pages) and 504 paid apps in each category. I even tried to manually create the URLs with given offsets, but it doesn't work. Does anyone know if there are any ways or tools that can see all the apps in Google Play?

Initial release
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] roustabout:
I am a giant knucklehead - I read "note 8" and didn't pay attention to the model #.

The test was done on a 5110 - I somehow missed the actual model # it was written for.

It does sound like the data reminded emwno about a detail, though.

That said, the restore technique does work (and I didn't softbrick my device.)

Thanks for taking a run at this!

The new boot.img took a really long time to get from initial Galaxy model # screen to the blue and white Samsung logo on first boot.

Wifi not working with the new kernel on first or second boot.

Did in fact boot, though. Antutu thinks cpu metrics are a hair slower than stock, and the UI feels a little slower also.,

A recovery zipfile would be super cool.

I mounted the external sd, then used

dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 of=/external_sd/bootrecover.img bs=1M

to backup and

dd if=/external_sd/bootrecover.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p5 bs=1M

to restore and now have wifi again.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] emwno:
Man..... i forgot modules....

Anyways it will be slow until all the backports are complete. thanks for the report!

Great Job! Now we need one for the N5110.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] roustabout:
An observation on the Samsung kernel and OS: for a good bit of time after a reboot, the cores are all running flat out at 1.6 ghz.

The immediate cause is apparently that the device is scanning the internal memory and sdcard and this is a somewhat processor-intensive task.

What surprised me, though, was that after installing cpu usage monitor, only one of the cores was doing most of the work - but all 4 were running at 1.6 ghz for a lot of the time.

Hopefully I'll be restarting less this evening and can look to see if this is true in more casual usage. If others are noticing this, it seems like better multicore management by the kernel would go a LONG way to ameliorating the relatively poor battery life.

The device uses the pegasusq governor, which does support core hotplugging, but is either just not that good at doing so or isn't configured to release unused cores very quickly.

I haven't had a chance to compare the settings I have with the explanations in this excellent post on the governor and what it's doing:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=24233103&postcount=3
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] emwno:
I have yet to modify governers for specificds such as battery life and speed. Its scanning because of the intelligent write back, which does the major work faster with all cores at while booting.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] roustabout:
I spent some time looking at governor settings last night.

When I finished, I'd used the device for about 5 hours, did 6 reboots and a number of benchmark cycles and had gone from 90% charge to 45% charge.

So if that holds up, I'm getting about 3 hours more per cycle. One thing I noticed: if you run an Antutu benchmark, you may want to reboot your device - Antutu seems to lock all four cores at 1.6 ghz for a long time after it runs.

I landed on two modifications via set CPU:

first mod: set ignore_nice_load =1

"ignore_nice_load - Setting to 1 causes governor to ignore load resulted by nice processes while making scaling decisions. Nice processes are the one i/o scheduler refers to as low priority process.

UNIT: Boolean 1 or 0"

Basically, a process which is nice is one that will get out of the way if I'm doing something else, and I'm not interested in, even for 15-20 minutes, running all four cores at full speed to get it done. It looks to me as if media scanning is a process with the nice flag set.

Second mod: changed freq_step from 37 to 12.

"freq_step - Defines how much as a percentage of maximum frequency, governor should increase CPU frequency each time CPU load reaches up_threshold.

UNIT: Percentage"

As shipped the processors step in giant increments.

Setting that value to a 12% step rate gives me 200 mhz increments, and I see that my processor is spending much more time in the 400-600 mhz range than before,.

I'm probably going to do additional tests with a 6% step rate (100 mhz increments) at some point.

The nice setting emerged from looking to see what was running at boot time and coming across threads on the behavior such as this one:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1994650

I'm happy with the performance I'm seeing in this setup, and happier still with the battery life I'm seeing. Your mileage may vary, of course, but waiting a few milliseconds more for the processor to cycle all the way to 1600 mhz hasn't made the device feel stuttery to me.

Still on my to-do list is getting the cores to up and downshift more independently. The governor tends to let only one core lag the others, so I almost always see three cores at once at the same frequency, even if only one appears to be doing anything.

EMk02 Live.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] roustabout:
Just took a run at emk02-5110 - still no wifi.

Bluetooth was fine, boot was speedy.

My tools for looking at CPU reported that the clock speeds available were 50 mhz-1600 mhz.

It seems possible that the high end was truncated at 1600 mhz by chip reporting something inaccurately, and that as a result the low end was also pushed very low?

The kernel seemed just fine aside from no wifi, though!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] emwno:
Only till 1600? I remember adding upto 1800... About the no wifi, flash the attachment and let me know of the result.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] roustabout:
Still no wifi.

Clock still tops at 1600 reported.

The attached wifi fix file has scsi_wait_scan.ko in it -- I'd thought that was a filesystem module?

Did it replace anything? I hope not, as it doesn't seem to make a backup of the original?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] emwno:
That is the only module that was generated. thats the stock one. taking a look at source again..

EDIT: try flashing this. built kernel again. (all generated modules added)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Android Development] roustabout:
Hmmmm

OK, I poked around a bit first on my device and then I extracted /system from the firmware blob, used simg2img and mounted the output in a linux system to get a look at what Samsung delivers.

I did not see a scsi_wait_scan in their flashable system. I found a folder called dhd which apparently relates to networking.

The installed system doesn't use these files, though - is that because Samsung integrates them all into the kernel?

At any rate, I know I won't overwrite anything when I get time to flash now, at least :)

OK, tried flashing in the boot.img and the files in 2.zip. Still no wifi.

Also, the files in 2.zip are *.ko, the other files are *.so, and in the extract of system, there no .ko files -- is that part of what's what?

To make testing simpler down the road, I also made a flashable boot.img restore file, which folks can get a copy of here

[One (M7) General] puremind:
Originally I wanted to have several devices to run some display testing, and I was supposed to give them back, but with now 3 HTC One phones (2 silver and 1 black) in my possession, I am having trouble parting from them.

I am now seriously considering keeping the other two phones, one as a remote control, one as a hotspot router with permanent that remains online in all social networks.

I love the fact that I always have 1 charged up phone ready to be grabbed, checked upon, plus I really couldn't decide which screen I like best. The 6640K one has got really accurate colors and is brighter and the 6970K one has got the best contrast.

This way I can move back and forth between the two displays depending on my mood.

Feeling the aluminum of the device in my hands was already making me beam, but now sometimes I have all 3 devices in my hands, gliding on each other and I find the slow aluminum rubbing noise wildly erotic.

The HTC One is the best piece of hardware I have seen in a long time. Three HTC Ones make me smile any day. Ever since I got the HTC One, I stopped dating, I do more sports and am constantly overjoyed with anything ordinary.

Everytime I am around a smartphone shop, I feel like chatting clients up and make them marvel about the phone. I have started an unofficial job as an HTC One advisor, now Vodafone and O2 shop representatives let me talk to their clients whenever they see me and don't bother advising clients anymore. They have gotten used to me measuring up screens.

I realize my behavior is not normal, though. I was wondering if any of you had the same experience and if you had any tricks how you can quit feeling addicted to the HTC One. I have tried reducing the brightness, shutting down the sun and hiding the phone under pillows, but none of this helped.
