[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rnscheat:
I rooted my phone and my wife's. She's been hiding things and deleting messages and sending off pics of herflself and deleting them. I tried using a recovery app. But is there something that I can install on her phone that's will stay hidden so I can monitor what it is she is up to? Something that will save the text logs and pictures. Or activate her front facing camera. GPS... I want to make sure I have all the evidence I would need to confront her. This happened in the past as well and I didn't have enough proof. She played it off like I was the crazy one.

I've searched but figured some experts would point me in the right direction. Hoping to save my marrage before its too late.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] moparfreak426:
Well for finding old picrures, theres diskdigger app. Uhm... Besides that, idk
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rnscheat:
I used dr phone and it took so long and it kept showing all the current pics and not just the deleted ones . wasn't until I used discdigger that I found what I was looking for. but being the free version it didn't search for much. and hard to view everything ion the little screen, and it requires me to have her phone for long periods of time.

I know there has to be something out there I can install once and get the info sent to my phone or pc.

since I only have small windows of time to have her phone(when shes sleeping) I practice on my phone. install what apps I wanty to use and try them so I know what it is im doing when I get the chance.

a keylogger would be a start but I want to know what texts are coming in as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shewantsmyduck:
I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for, but recently when my phone broke and I still had to text people; I went to the Verizon wireless website, under 'My Verizon' is a tab called 'Send a message', enter your wife's phone number followed by her account password, and then it should be empty if this is the first time opening this. From here you can send and receive messages. After your initial login, all messages will be stored. It shows deleted as well. Finally, if you do happen to send a text from this online, sent messages will not show on her phone. Beware as she will still receive the incoming texts.

-Hope this helped! Good luck with your searching

I like my Note 8.0, its hardware specs still very good...once we get 4.4.2, I am sure it will be even better!

one of my devices is on 4.4.2, did NOT have any issue with SD limitation or anything....
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] hertsjoatmon:
Thats good news then, I only noticed these reports today and started to worry. I was thinking that I would not be able to use a file manager for example, to copy photos from my internal storage to external as back up etc... Having seen similar articles crop up on multiple sources at the same time lead me to beleive that this was real concern.

Out of interest, what device have you got running 4.4.2? If its the Nexus 7, that doesnt have an SD card slot. Do you use USB storage with it then in order to assertain that this isn't an issue?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] intelliriffer:
as far as i am aware this is a real problem, especially for power users.

There are perhaps some ways to circumvent this if you are rooted, but for stock users it'a PITA.

as third party apps do not have the normal write permissions on external sd card, thus they cannot write to any arbitrary folder except their native (Android\data\com.app.name.package...) so a lot of apps (mostly utility) that make use of external sd card (such as backup to custom location etc) will stop functioning.

Again it's just a Matter of time when kit-kat hits Note 8 and then we will know for sure how bad it is in real.

Have heard note 3 users complain about this.

Does your 4.4.2 device have an external micro sd card and is it stock?

I have similar worry as you, however, I have heard that ES file explorer works or has workaround.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] hertsjoatmon:
I'm a root user so I'm not too bothered. I'll only upgrade if it's shown that there are significant performance and stability improvements in a later version. I just wanted to make sure non root users were aware of this, especially given that the note 8 doesn't have a lot of internal storage space ( for ages only the 16gb version was available). I imagine many people rely on their micro sd cards

no once you are on new bootloader (4.4.2)...but if you able to stay on old bootlader, then you may.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sirgawain123:
But if you keep the old bootloader while updating to 4.4.2, chances are high wifi will not work.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] carvation:
If 4.4.2 doesnt bring better battery life I will not stick with this tablet. I bought this tablet brand new in January and I dont really use it that much at all and the battery life is very awful ever since I got it
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sputnik767:
I can promise you that your battery life will not change significantly one way or the other.

Having said that, while this tablet is not the best in terms of battery life, it is certainly not "very awful." I can get around 7 hours of wifi browsing time with probably 24 hours of standby time. Yes, the iPad mini can get about 2-3 hours more, but it does not have a digitizer and I knew the battery life differences going in. I have a feeling the digitizer has at least something to do with it. Either you got a lemon, you have a parasitic app or your system is modified and poorly tuned, or you have unrealistic expectations.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] carvation:
dont get me wrong, i do love the tablet, its just the battery life i cant take, i tried everything, i had it rooted, back to stock, different calibrations etc.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jewnersey:
Have you played with autostarts, greenify, and tasker combos? I also get comparable stats to Sputnik, which I can even push if I cut Wi-Fi when I'm not needing it

Ok guys I just picked up the n5110 it has 4.1.2 on it currently. Getting ready to start my research on everything. Quick question while im searching is the 4.4.2 update worth doing? If I do update will I have problems unlocking, rooting, flashing, etc...? In the mean time I am going to start my search!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jewnersey:
As a preliminary answer for you, as I too am fairly new to the n8, it is probably best to wait a few days before flashing to these new 4.4.2 touchwiz builds until the bootloader, etc can get some extra attention.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] msd24200:
Thats kind of what im thinking, I'm still researching tho and I have to say not a bad tablet at all!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jazzespresso:
First,

out of package, this comes with 4.1.2, so while you are still not rooted or modified yet, better update offical to 4.2.2 - check software about in Settings --> About, and get 4.2.2 first.

Second,

as jewnersey said, it is probably good idea to wait couple more days to jump on 4.4.2 update. I would also suggest to keep close eye on both Civato and ykkive threads, as both actively working on custom 4.4.2 ROM. Both developers are good, and most likely they come up with a nice custom kernel and all the goodies bundled together.

It took forever Samsung to push 4.4.2 (4.3) our table, when I saw Samsung finally release it, I hardly hold myself not flash it and wait, you know I waited long time, waiting for couple more days won't kill me :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] msd24200:
Thanks jazzespresso yeah I already upgraded to 4.2.2 now I'm going to wait a while see what happens, this was a store demo unit they sold me for $185 I couldn't pass it up
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] carvation:
yes did it all, when i had it rooted it was a lil better but not by much, i went back to stock in anticipation of 4.4.2
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jazzespresso:
$185 for this tablet (even if it is almost a year old) is a steal. It is really good size tablet, and hardware specs not bad at all.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] msd24200:
I totally agree that it was a steal at that price! Im really liking the tablet size so far. I had a 10" asus transformer tf300t and I liked it and I loved to big screen. After using this note 8.0 I'm liking the easier portability that comes with it and the screen is plenty big. Even stock so far this tablet is plenty snappy for what I do and other than minor lag ive not had any bad lag on the stock firmware. After a few more days I'll be flashing anyway, the itch will be unbearable by then lol!

AT&T i-467 KK upgrade

So, other versions have been upgraded and we still wait. And wait. And wait.

I'm losing all hope that our variant will see KK. Anyone else have any news or are you all as frustrated as me?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] FiLiNuX:
with you

I am ANXIOUSLY waiting as well for the update to come. We have already been left out on the 4.2.2 update so I would hope history doesnt repeat with 4.4.2.

The one thing that has me hopeful that we (AT&T Note 8.0 owners) WILL see 4.4.2 is that the Samsung official announcements used our model number (sgh i467) specifically as getting it.

AT&T was pretty descent at getting 4.4.2 out to my S4 in reasonable time but the aforementioned note 8.0 4.2.2 flop appears to be 100% AT&T's fault. They surely wouldnt leave such a higher end device without ANY updates for the entire update period.....would they???
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Mattix724:
We're talking about AT&T here... of course the will neglect to update your device. They want you to go out and buy the latest and greatest device they have to offer. I worked for AT&T U-Verse as a tier 2 technical support rep, how often did our set top boxes see an update? I saw one major update in the two years I worked for them. The rest of the updates were fixes, adding minor applets or widgets that literally no one used.

Insatlled Kitkat 4.4.2 OTA in Canada for Note 8

Just checked settings, software update, download and installed. Everything seen okay so far. I will continue to test it. Kitkat 4.4 for note 8 may have released this week in Canada. I have upgraded from 4.1 to 4.4, there was no 4.2 or 4.3 in Canada.

Update May 28, 2014

Had to do a factory reset on the tablet, in order to get the multi window tray.

Man, this sucks. The firmware for Canada isn't on SamMobile or anything and I can't find a way to unroot and go back to stock, since my flash counter is tapped I probably wouldn't be able to do an OTA anyway. I guess I'm going to have to wait until someone decides to upload it.

Just installed the update last night. It took 3 tries and the download was incredibly slow, but it finally took. Nothing to earth shaking. My SD card seems to work just fine with music, pictures, ebooks, etc. Solid Explorer and FO both will read/write from the card, which was my biggest worry. The battery icon is white now instead of green, and there's a few new settings, like "Default Applications" which I don't remember being a separate setting. The most noticeable change for me is the handwriting keyboard, which seems to have some added features and functions. Seems more polished and usable now. All in all, for me, it was just an update. No real problems, no huge new advantages.
