Well.. let's just say that I no longer have the Galaxy Note 8.0 anymore.. I am in receipt of a new Galaxy Tab 4 8.0 w/ KK 4.4.2 already installed.. the Note 8.0 is on its way back to AT&T executive offices out of N.C.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] oldblue910:
You downgraded. Same display, no stereo speakers, no ambient light sensor for auto brightness, no S Pen, weaker processor, and no haptic feedback. If you're happy with it, great, but you definitely downgraded.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] pbrady5:
Can't believe

I can't believe they won't just roll the update out already. I get it, this may not have been the most popular device that they've offered, but it appears that a decent amount of people still have it and want the update. I look forward to some potentially better news in the future
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] oldblue910:
They'll release it eventually. It's just not a priority device for them anymore.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] LordGeek:
Yeah.. I'm definitely seeing that now.. finally got ahold of Kevin today (after leaving numerous voicemails).. told about the findings and comparison between the Note 8.0 and the Tab 4 8.0 .. totally understood. Choices in regards to tablets are slim with AT&T.. no much to choose from. So, I finally bit the dust and gave in.. he's sending me a iPad Mini with Retina Display WiFi/LTE. As to memory size, don't know yet.. won't until it gets here.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] dmunjal:
Wait a bit longer. The Tab S 8.4 is supposed to be coming out soon.

After the debacle with the Note 8.0, I'll never buy another AT&T hardware product again. I'm forced to use their service but it's unlocked devices for me now. Just picked up a brand new Sony Ultra Z GPE for $335. My next tablet will be the Nexus 9.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] LordGeek:
This is the main reason why I went with an Apple product this time for my tablet.. AT&T has NO control on firmware updates from Apple.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] oldblue910:
Actually, yes they do. Carriers still have to approve iOS updates. The thing is, Apple holds the releases until they have approval from all carriers, so the rollout appears seamless to end users.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] dmunjal:
But then I'd have to use iOS. I'm actually impressed by the GPE devices. Very fast and no bloat.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] oldblue910:
The Galaxy S4 GPE is the only device I've ever truly regretted selling. That thing was amazing. I've never seen stock Android run so fast in my life.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] dmunjal:
Great phone. That was my daily driver for the past 6 months. But the deal on the Ultra Z GPE was too good to pass up. Imagine the S4 GPE but bigger and faster. The best part is I'll be running L on both before AT&T even knows how to spell it.

Just before I install it, can you share your experience with the device after installation?

i want to know too..the advantage of updating before commiting to it..
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] bonaventura:
Hi, sorry for the late reply.

Yes i am using the 5100.

Frankly speaking, i do not feel significant difference in performance except for battery life. Which is I think is kind of expected anyway, judging from the comments of those who has upgraded to KK before I did.

Im not a power user and I updated just to stay updated :)

Surely support for 4.4 will go further than 4.2 (unless im wrong :p).

Pls note that this is purely my observation, I did not take/have any battery life performance measurement taken before the update.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Mathman01123:
I don' know if I'm behind the trend but..,

It finally came out!! The 4.4.2 update for the sgh-i467 at&t finally came out, now if there is just a way to root it XD, I find rooting handy cause I can custom clock the cpu so I only need to charge it once a day :P
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] oldblue910:
I'm glad y'all are finally getting the KitKat update. I ditched the Galaxy Note 8.0 a while back and went for a Galaxy Tab S 8.4, but it still makes me happy to see this great device getting some love and attention. The Note 8.0 is still a kick-ass tablet almost 2 years after launch.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Shofar1:
Why upgrade

I don't see any advantage to 4.2.2 only disadvantage.

I can no longer link my DocToGo to my SD drive. That is not an upgrade but a downgrade.

Battery may be better but access to the SD card is more important to me.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] gabripranzo:

Samsung Bloatware

Hi there.

Is somebody there to know why i'm unable to Turn Off Samsung SyncAdapters and similar (Calendar, Cloud Quota...) in recently updated 4.4.2 Kit Kat, unrooted phone?

The button is grayed - unlike in 4.2.2 Jelly Bean - where i can Disable them....

The phone is a Samsung Express 2 LTE version.

So - if somebody know, please give me some clues.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

samsung update for India

Is the update for India rolled out yet?

If not which one would be the best to update :confused:
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jazzespresso:
phone was rooted, but once leaked version installed, root was gone of course...it was offical leaked version for s4, so did not see anything weird as far as SD card limitation goes...

at least, this is 4.4.2 for Samsung S4, but I don't see it will be diffrent for other devices (note 3, note 8, samsung S3..etc)...ohh well, we will see when we get 4.4.2 for our note 8.0!

I am actually more worry about 4.4.2 Note 8.0 rooting, removing knox than SD stuff since there are not many developers here in Note 8.0 threads..you know what I mean.

where do you live my friend? not to be rude...all Samsung 4.3 comes with KNOX, so does all 4.4.2 too...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] intelliriffer:
What makes me curious is what all there is in Kit Kat (especially for touchwiz and samsung) that every body is so desperate about.

If it comes with knox, most likely downgrading back to 4.2.2 would be near impossible. apart from some other issues being reported.

I just disabled OTA updates as don't want to install something before it's tried and tested by masses. If Samsung breaks something intrinsic again like s-pen in earlier 4.2 updates , they gonna take another eternity to release a fix.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sputnik767:
Just across the river from you actually. But my point was that I am not familiar with any source that claimed that all Samsung 4.3 comes with KNOX. Yes, it came on my S4, but was well known in advance. I have heard nothing regarding the Note 8. If you can show me where the info is coming from, I'll take it.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] gabripranzo:
We could install the new firmware with mobile Odin: it should avoid the Knox stuff and maybe would keep root. Of course we don't know if 4.2.2 bootloader will be compatible with new firmwares.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] aksity:
Hello,

Doesn't work :(
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sputnik767:
Well, that would be because you modified your phone. Apparently just rooting trips it at least it did for me. Easy fix, ODIN a stock ROM and update OTA. Don't even have to wipe anything. But why worry about it now, we don't know when an update will land.

Stock ROMs can be found here:

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

or here (if you have the Wifi only N5110 model)

http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N5110

Otherwise, find your model from that link
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jgaiche:
I'm in the same position and will probably need to download a stock rom too. I'm in the US, but I don't see any region codes for the US. I searched a bit and find listings for the Samsung region codes, but I don't see one for the United States. I know I'm missing something. Can someone tell me what I'm missing ? Thanks :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] tabby83:
nice

4.4.2 will be nice cant wait. Wonder wht 4.3 will have.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sputnik767:
I believe XAR is the region code, which is listed as Cellular South, whatever that means. I know I flashed an XAR ROM for 4.1.2 that I found somewhere on this forum, and then it automatically updated me to 4.2.2. Samsung-updates.com XAR ROM seems to be the correct one for 4.2.2, and the file name matches what I see as the version on my tab. I would advise you to maybe ask this question separately on the forum before you go ahead and flash.

---------- Post added at 01:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:52 AM ----------

Probably not getting 4.3. As far as what 4.3 may have had and what 4.4 will have, the short answer is nothing. The long answer is the version number bump, a KitKat color scheme for the top bar, some tweaks to the way multiwindow looks and works, and probably some behind-the-scenes changes to the system and kernel. But nothing you will readily notice and certainly nothing to be excited about. Don't expect any Note 3 features to make their way here, and don't expect battery life to change one way or the other. Oh yea, your apps will lose the ability to write to the external SD card. This can be fixed with root. KitKat is really just a minor update to Jelly Bean.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] misternagoya:
Still stuck on 4.1.2....4.4.2 seems so far away...
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sputnik767:
Chances are that the issue is with your router and the way it handles security. Try to disable security and leave the network open, and see if you can connect. If that fixes it, see if there is updated firmware for your router. I am assuming you have no issues connecting to other wifi networks outside your home, so your tablet is likely not the issue.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] enigmaco:
It is the router it's a arris gateway and unfortunately Samsungs resolution is to rollback the firmware which can't be done. There is something about the arris gateway the samsung tablets don't like.

Update: Well seems there is chipset compatibility issue between the samsung tablets and the arris gateways that is causing the issue, so I have a work around in place that will fix it woohoo!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sputnik767:
Glad you figured it out. Yea, these things are usually caused by router chipset issues.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sputnik767:
Nope, not joking. I have no idea about what is going on under the hood, but looks, performance, and battery-wise, there is virtually no difference between JB and KK on Samsung ROMs. Considering that probably 99% of end users are not developers, we don't really care about the changes we can't see or feel.

---------- Post added at 07:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 PM ----------

As of now, there is no update. Nobody knows when it's coming or where it'll be going or not going. Having said that, I don't see why Greece would not get it. I'm assuming you got all the other ones.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sputnik767:
To be perfectly honest, if it does not affect the way I use a device, I don't really care about the changes. I'm an end-user, not a developer. Like I said I am sure there are plenty of changes under the hood. For the same reason, I would say that iOS did not change much from when they added copy and paste, up to just before iOS 7 was released.

But if you say that doesn't affected on the device... I don't say the truth...

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sputnik767:
You must have missed my post where I said that I am running official KK on my Galaxy S4. It may have been in another thread. Like I said before, there is absolutely no difference. It's not faster, battery life is not better, and virtually nothing is changed, cosmetically or otherwise. Both the S4 and the Note 8 are Samsung devices, both run TouchWiz. Feel free to believe what you want, but I am telling you my experience with the official KK ROM on a Galaxy device, running TouchWz. It does not matter for us how KK is on the Nexus or the Moto G, both of which run stock KK. Even ART support is missing from Samsung ROMs.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] coloxim:
I will try on my note8 and report back...

Inviato dal mio Nexus 4 utilizzando Tapatalk
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sputnik767:
Just keep in mind that I am speaking about the stock TouchWiz ROM that will eventually come to our devices, based on my experience with my Galaxy S4 that is running the official stock KitKat ROM. I am not referring to any AOSP ROM, as they do not represent what TouchWiz will be like. Other than a slightly different look to the status bar, the fact that non-Samsung apps can no longer access the external SD card, and the ability to set a default SMS app (which doesn't matter here anyway), there is no difference to any measurable metric. Well, the animations are slightly different as well.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] gabripranzo:
I remember my Galaxy Tab plus with honeycomb: almost every app couldn't access the external sd, and I needed to root it and install a fix. I can't believe Samsung did it again! They have to be crazy.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sputnik767:
Not Samsung, this is actually a "feature" built into KK. Blame Google. I suppose Samsung could have gone against it, as the fix is very simple, it just requires root and editing of 1 file. Perhaps they didn't know about it at the time the S4 ROM went out, and may address it later.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jordant2:
I have had a galaxy s2, s3, note 1, note 2, and note 3. I agree with you 100% as none of the android updates have made any of my touchwiz devices much different. I'm happy running 4.2.2 and I can't think of any new feature that I'm missing on my current ROM that 4.4 will bring. Especially if there's no ART to try.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jazzespresso:
i have to kind of agree and disagree with you. Remember, a lot of apps updating their apps to 4.3/4.4.2, means their lib, framework, etc. going to be using latest Android libs, thus cause your tablet/phone to be buggy if you are still on 4.2. I am not saying 4.2.2 is bad, but eventually it become absolute (it already are). Note 8's specs are not bad at all, in fact it is well capable of running either 4.3 or 4.4.2, then ask your self why you like to run older version of Android? After all, you can give a try and if you don't like it you can always revert it back to 4.2.2 using Odin..
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sputnik767:
That really depends on Samsung. If it comes with the KNOX bootloader, you will not be able to ODIN back to 4.2. The S4 running 4.4.2 can not be downgraded to any previous version. As far as bugginess due to updated apps and KK/JB issues, I've had no problems that I have seen. And I have a device that goes back to GB.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jordant2:
Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against running the latest version of android, I'm just not as excited or in a rush as much as others. I don't really think there will be compatibility issues for quite some time though as 4.2 is not exactly ancient. But when 4.4 drops, I'll most likely wait for a custom ROM, hopefully Xnote will get updated.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Muffycheeks:
I have to be honest, I'm impressed with Touch-Wiz on my Note 8. However, I would indeed welcome 4.3 Android for the sole purpose of having the location tracking feature. I've heard 4.4.2 Kit Kat is not compatible with call recording, a feature I would definitely miss also.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] yeeahnick:
If we consider the number of units sold we will probably get 4.4.2 after all other devices, i think S4 started last week, im guessing S3 will be next and they will for sure update the note 10.1 2014 before the note 8 so we have a little while longer to wait. I wouldnt be suprised if we only get it around May.
