[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] dtziheucdavis:
I'll be returning mine for the following reasons:

Battery life is not that great.

Battery dies faster than expected on standby, especially compared to Note 10.1 and ipad.

The bezel is very large and I find that annoying. It makes the design seem very outdated.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] intelliriffer:
Quite Happy with mine

1: Battery Life : It's fine now since last few updates: 1/2% per hour on standby with wi-fi and cell on (now BBM too)

1.2:. About 0.8% per hour when streaming audio from radio or home network. (screen off). I consider it very decent.

2. Bezel I actually like it, it's not at all very large compared to many other similar sized tabs, makes for easier holding/reading for me with single hand operation, thumb over bezel. For me it makes the design well thought of, multiple use scenarios. Especially when you also bring the s-pen into the equation, bezel partly provides for very necessary palm/hand rest support.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] fretbro6:
Just bought one for my son. I think I'm gonna go get one for myself too. I like it. Battery life isn't bad at all.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] dewadewi:
How about gaming, intense heavy 3D gaming, how the battery life after update?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] TC93:
The bezel is not large. Its narrow and the right size to place your thumb without hitting the screen. I like my tablet FAR more than the ipad we own also.

I am very happy with this tablet, I don't game a lot, although the "Catapult King" game has been a little addicting to me.

I love the pen also.

EDIT: I just tried that 3d game for 15 minutes and it used 5%. The Nexus 7 uses the same amount. I don't have that game on the ipad to try because it costs money on ios.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] intelliriffer:
I am not an intense heavy gamer (on tablet) as i use pc for most of that.

however, I do run drastic emulator (emulators usually run 100% cpu most of their time) for Nds games and few other games.

depending on game I would say about 10%-20% / hour but this can vary a lot on other factors.Also the discharge is not linear.

IMO this tablet is not so optimized as a gaming device as better alternatives exist at lesser costs, however, productivity wise (niche target market for note series) it is a very good device.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] dewadewi:
True but for the price range it should be able to handle every general task like gaming normaly if it's not better.. I'm previously using GT 7+ and it's at least have a 3.5-4 hour screen time of nonstop 3D gaming, and I'm expecting the note behave not far from that.

FYI I've been try to downclock the CPU (1,2 and even I try at 800mhz max speed) and GPU (266 mhz) and manually set the screen brightness to little above minimum, use the screen powersaving but the battery consumption is still unpleasant in terms of gaming

rooted stock out of the box 4.1.2

and I also do notice the media scanning process especially when the first time the device turned on is triggered a CPU intensive task which turned on all core at full speed and keep running on and on... and drains battery heavily
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] intelliriffer:
Intense 3D Gaming is not a general task by any means, though to hardcore gamers it might seem to be so as its a necessity for them.

Secondly high price point can be due to lot many other things than just gaming performance.

For example a pressure sensitive active wacom digitizer and whole lot of software developed around it including touchwiz.

If these things do not matter to you then then this is not the device to have because you are unnecessarily paying for things you dont need.

For media scanning make sure your tags in media files are not corrupt. I fixed my entire library using some tool on pc and that resolved the issue.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] dewadewi:
I do make use of the pen for noting and sketching (I'm a graphics designer) and it's being great

but the problem is, wether it's intense 3D or lite game like angry bird's, the battery drain is still huge... and lite gaming are by any means a general task for tablet these days..

as for the media scanning bug my work around is disable the media scanner on the application list, but might try your solution someday (as I have a 64gigs microsd I presume it would take a while) :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] asustf700t:
i sold my note to get the 8, noting on the market for me is the same, note 10 is just to big and heavy, yes battery life isn't great but its not to bad, i just got a blackberry z10! now that has bad battery LOL
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] cmit37:
I love it. Battery life is fine. Bezel is just the right amount to hold. The design would look better with less bezel but I find that in use for reading it could actually do with a tiny bit more bezel to stop me from touching the screen. It is great for productivity and the few games I play on it run great - Dead Trigger 2 and Call of Duty Strike Team.

My two favourite features are the stylus which I use extensively in meetings to help me get rid of the paper mess on my desk and the IR remote I use around the house.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kisrita:
I agree with all of the above, but I'm keeping mine because it's the only usable option for me, despite these disadvantages;

I had higher expectations based on the cost of this tablet. However, my primary use is taking digital notes. And as much as I dislike the design, battery life and low screen resolution, I still prefer it to any other option available at the moment (for work only- for play, no way!). But I will be upgrading the moment something better comes along! The iPad has better battery life, and now that it's lighter the size might also be OK. But writing with capacitive touch pen are like writing with a crayon, I cannot stand it! The Note 10 is just too big, too heavy. There may be some expensive windows options out there, but I suspect they are too big, too expensive, and have even worse battery. So that leaves the Note 8 with no real competition for people who need the s pen. But for those that do not need the pen, they are paying a premium for no benefit, so I can completely understand why they do not want to keep it.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] red321red321:
You made a lot of good points. I also have a note 8 and use my tablets for writing, annotating. That said, Op makes good points about how much the Note devices lag behind their ipad competitions in design and usability. The note 10.1 2014 for example, has noticeable lag and the ipad air will probably blow it out of the water. If Apple made a good fine point stylus with palm rejection that allows good pdf annotating, I will abandon the Note devices for sure. Ipad pdf handling visit already far superior to the Note devices, it just lacks a good stylus. The new Jot devices seem good, but not quite close to Spen yet.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] intelliriffer:
Very well said,

however people who don't need the S-Pen should not even by looking at the note series, as that is what primarily the note line is about, it does most of the other tasks but excels at nothing.

I too would get an overall better device when available, but I think we are still about an year or so from that (a device with high res, better battery, and pressure sensitive pen and optimized stock software to support the features.) and considering how samsung has been going about certain things lately, would like to see some competitor come up with similar products at competitive prices to topple up the monopoly a bit.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] efanatic:
Now the ipad mini isnt a better product than the note 8. The ipad mini has serious issues with programs locking it up and crashing it. So then you have to turn it back on and redue what you were doing. The note 8 has never not once locked up and cut off. The ipad mini unfortunately does it often.

The ipad mini is being used in a restaurant for the servers to take an order. Its tough for them when it locks up. Now the ipad that is for the cash register and kitchen screen doesn't have issues. Only the minis do.

I like the note 8 and use it heavily every day.

With that said l cant wait for a 2014 edition of the 8
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ExploreMN:
I like it. About the only downside is the screen resolution, but that only affects me in one app...Teamviewer...and that's only because pretty much every computer I connect to has a higher resolution so I'm either scaling or scrolling, both of which suck. Otherwise it works great for everything I need.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] fengming:
I also think that the battery is not durable.

I also think that the battery is not durable
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] cheryanne:
Sure I would have preferred a removable battery and a better camera and better resolution blah blah blah but it's the best and biggest tablet phone available with the spen and so I bought it... And I love it all the same!

This has been a useful thread. I've been looking for a new device to replace my ageing original tab and whilst the Note 8 is far from perfect, the consensus seems to be it's still a very good device. A 3g model is now ordered. Thanks for everyone's comments.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsd3k:
Hi, I'm trying various kernels on my rom.

Therefore I'd like to backup my existing kernel.

I know TWRP can easily do this.

However for information I'd like to know manual adb method, or terminal commands.

Or is there a Zip file which I can run to automate the process
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
why not just keep the kernel zip file in your storage?

as a hobby, i test kernels, trinity kernel to be exact. i probably have 20-30 kernels in my storage at all times. when im want to run my favorite again, i just reflash it. i cant imagine why id want to back up a kernel.

I am rooting a G-Tab 2 7" P3113 that was given to me and having an issue. It is on JB 4.2.2 OTA and I succesfully did Chainfires Root method, but when I go to flash TWRP 2.6.3.0 in ODIN (was using 3.07, but also tried on 1.85 that came with Chainfires root download) whenever I try to load the TWRP.md5 it causes ODIN to go "Not Responding" status on me. And I've used ODIN hundreds of times, albeit never on this device, and never had this problem. Which my other issue which I've never ran into is, now I am stuck in Download mode on the G-Tab, and since I cant just pull the battery out and restart the phone, I don't know how to rest the phone so I can get back to Android.

So if anyone can help me figure out what's going on with ODIN that would be great. I have v3.09 as well but haven't tried running it on there, and I also tried a older version of TWRP and that didn't work either, just keeps going Non-Responsive on me.

[HTC One V] F430gx:
I think my One V isn't working as fast as it should. Before buying it I saw a lot o videos and reviews and my phone is not close in performance to what i saw. The most useful proof is that when I play jetpack it lags a lot, and I play it with all apps closed in recent apps and the app installed in the phone memory. I have Android 4.0.3 rooted with Sense 4.0 and Software number 2.24.720.1. I updated the phone only once(before rooting) and was factory unlocked when I got it.

I see a lot of other phones with no more than 1Ghz processor and 512MB Ram that perform better with some open apps and I don´t get why my phone gets slow. I have considered updating to jelly bean but I don't know if it can help.
[HTC One V] sellersj27:
I had the same problem.... Get rid of sense and things will get better.
[HTC One V] intrepid9:
Do the videos you watched have Facebook or any other memory hogging app? My phone used to lag as well but I uninstalled everything I didn't need that used up memory and the performance improved.
[HTC One V] F430gx:
Most of the video have facbook and other apps like that and running on Android 4.0.3 with a lot more apps than me. I just feel it too slow because I used to play on my ipod touch 2G. When I rooted the phone, the only app that installed was jetpack to see if it could run as it should, but it was like now. I have to manually liberate memory and close all apps to run simple games without lag.

If I get rid of Sense what features will I be missing?

Would you recommend me to get jelly bean without Sense or maybe with Sense?

I just use facebook, whatsapp and opera a few times.
[HTC One V] somekid15:
Go on jelly bean and greenify your apps
[HTC One V] noisy_boy:
Try using custom rom like Ignorance V4 and using titanium kiss or charm kiss kernel...the combination give me no lags and great performance for my one v:good:
[HTC One V] F430gx:
I would like to get Jelly Bean, any custom ROM that is like the stock JB with Sense 4.0?

Or a final version of a cRom that have almost everything working.

Hello everyone, I bought my O2 XDA ll mini just a few days ago ....so I am still a newbie.

I am trying to attach photos to my contacts and I get the message below:

"Unable to execute Caller ID. Please make sure Caller ID has been installed on your pocket PC. 36003:115:0"

I get the ID of my contacts when they call me.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you.

I would try a hard reset as occasionly you get issues with software not correctly installing. Or you can make a copy of your extended rom then executev the cab file again.

Is the caller ID application in these?

You don't use Odin to flash a factory image, you do it manually.

You can use Odin to flash a stock image, but you said that Shabby's didn't work for you so that leaves a factory image.

hmm i can only get into odin mode from my gnexus its currently bricked thats why i was looking for a mirror from shabbies i dont think i was clear enough its an actual problem from shabbies file not on my part hence me needing a mirror sorry for the confusion

Any reason why you want FH05 over GA02? I'd just try downloading the GA02 since it's newer and see if it works for you then.

Anybody know of a good free wireless transfer app? I need to transfer from a computer to the phone. I'm currently using a chromebook because my pc motherboard is dead. Chromebook fails to detect the phone as a media device. Need to transfer a large file. 1.7gb
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nicholi2789:
I would recommend airdroid. You can find it on the play store. I used to have this problem with my Nexus 7 where the PC wouldn't recognize it AT ALL. I used airdroid to transfer roms and other stuff to it all the time. I would recommend using it on wifi though because it does use alot of data transferring big files. It really works great though. Just download it and follow the instructions. It will give you a web address to go to on your computer, when you do you will get a prompt on your device asking to allow access, hit grant and then your done. Super easy and super useful. You can also use wireless adb, but it takes a LONG time to transfer files bigger than two or three hundred megabytes. Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
I use to use wifi file explorer its prettt nice but now that samsung has their own version I use kies. You probably need the samsung usb drivers for it to recognize your phone. Usb transfer is much fastee btw.

[Sony Xperia ZR] Kratellismorru:
Hi everyone, I have this weird problem with my ZR which I just noticed now.

My walkman app icon was not in the app drawer position which I have placed it into, and upon checking the widget, it has no album art displayed (all my music has album art), and so Upon checking in my app drawer, Its Icon is gone.

I checked it in the applications (inside settings), and it was there, So I Disabled it and reenabled it but to my surprise, Whenever I Open It, it just Force closes. Any help?

Btw, I'm on Pure stock ZR (as in all stock), If you will suggest to flash/factory reset it, is there a way to backup my application data? Thanks!

EDIT : I readded the walkman widget and it appears that it can play my music by just pressing the buttons in it, but it cannot still open the walkman app
[Sony Xperia ZR] sijav:
You can get a backup using backup and restore (it will take applications data) but before please do this, go into applications in settings, go to the all tab goto the walkman and clear data on it, also you can try removing walkman.apk from system folder and then re insert it! Let us know if you get any success.

Also titanium backup is the best backup app in my android adventure history :D
[Sony Xperia ZR] chewdaniel:
use flashtool and reflash and make sure u UNCHECK wipe data
[Sony Xperia ZR] Kratellismorru:
Hmm, I will try it next time, I just reflashed my phone without any application backup. Its just really weird that by just disabling and reenabling the walkman application will make it not work anymore.

Thanks for the tip, I got my problem solved by flashing it again.

Anyone got an idea why did my Walkman app become broken? I mean it disappeared from my menu, I'm worried because it might happen again, the only thing I remember before it happened is I was playing music, then I stopped it, put it in my pocket, then after some time, I checked it and its icon was gone
