[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex172:
Hello all xda developers,

months ago my son (17 years old) modified my cell phone to install a couple of mods (gaming). Now, on August 15 my phone started to give some problems in catching the line, I mean, I can use internet or whatsapp but I can't use voice in incoming and outgoing, first I went to the Samsung Italia assistance and they said that the cell was blocked by an operator (we're in Italy), the cell has a WIND brand so I call the Wind and in fact it was blocked by mistake by them, so they removed the block, but it continues on his problem, no line, I mean, almost no line, sometimes it works sometimes not. So, I went again to the Samsung assistance, and a couple of days later they replied saying that the kernel count is now at 1 and this is a proof that it has been "rooted", in final they asked me almost $300 to change the mother board and resume the warrant.

I really don't care about warrant, I just want to re-set (if possible) my cell and hoping it will start working again, or do a "real" root but I don't know how/where/what to start.... Any help would be much appreciated.

Alessandro from Rome, Italy.

You can zoom in see a fair amount of detail considering it's a cellphone.

[G4 General] Cozmos23:
Made one too [emoji14]

I'm satisfied with the camera. The pictures are clear and the autofocus is quick and great.

For taking quick and clean shots its the best cam I ever used.

On every phone I had someone was always complaining about the quality.

But you cannot expect an dslr quality cam which costs 2000$ or more in an 500$ phone lol
[G4 General] Donald K.:
Agreed,

Best Smartphone camera I've ever had or seen before! :)
[G4 General] RedOCtobyr:
keenerb, they came out nicely! I'm assuming you used manual mode to get it to expose the moon properly? It's nice that you can see the details on it. And having manual mode helps with these sort of pictures. Do you have a link to the $8 telephoto? That's interesting.

Cozmos23, Donald K, those are really cool! The clouds look awesome.

They're not taken on a G4, but I tried taking some pictures of the moon last week with my "real" camera. This is on a Nikon P7700, zoomed fully to 200mm, then cropped, because the moon was still small in the picture. I thought it was cool, especially the craters at the edge of the shadow. I only wish the camera had a longer zoom.

I only recently started playing with night shots, which I think are pretty interesting. The second is another one from the same night, still on my P7700. A 30 second exposure, ISO 800, f2.0. I think some of the subtle light variations you see going diagonally up to the right, around the bright star, may be part of the Milky Way? I'm definitely not an astronomer. But seeing light and dark areas that aren't just the normal individual stars is cool.

Please forgive me for posting non-G4 pictures. I was just "excited" because this is something I've recently started exploring. I should get a little tripod of some sort for my G4, since it can do 30-second exposures.

[G4 General] dontbeweakvato:
Thats funny, I thought about taking a pic of the moon last night also......... But i didnt want a black picture with a teeny white dot in the middle.
[G4 General] RedOCtobyr:
Oh, to link this back to the G4 & photography: using the free "DSLR Remote" app, you can use the G4's IR blaster to trigger the remote shutter release on at least some cameras. It works with my Nikon.

For instance, you can use it to make the camera take a picture remotely, without jiggling the camera when you physically press the shutter button. Useful when on a tripod for long exposures, where stability is important. I admittedly usually just set a 1-second timer to accomplish the same thing.

One potential item of interest is the possibility of using this to take time-interval shots on cameras that may not natively have that feature. My Nikon has the ability to do interval pictures, but the shortest time interval is 30 seconds. I could use this app to get a 10 second interval, or something else the camera won't allow (a set # of pictures, etc).

[G4 General] DeadSOL:
This is weird but I also took pictures of the moon with my G4.

It was a 1 second exposure shot with me holding the phone so it's blurry but what a coincidence that a lot of people decided to do the same last night.
[G4 General] Striball:
Here's a picture set at a 30 second shutter speed and I think an ISO of 350.

In real life you can't see the clouds really at all and the sky is pitch black to the naked eye. Just an Experiment shot.

The stars look a little blurred but if you zoom in that's how much they move in the sky in 30 seconds time.

​

I just saw this, it looks like the galaxy note 8.0 won't be getting the lollipop update due to perforamnce concerns... dissapointing.

Source: http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entry/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-8-0-official-Android-5-0-Lollipop-update-Canceled-due-to-hardware-limitations
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jazzespresso:
It was expected really....but I am not agreeing with Samsung that they cancelled based on hardware limitation, I do believe this device pretty capable of running Lollipop, but again their heavy TouchWiz may not.

Now, only hope left is if Note II gets lollipop, as its hardware specs similar to Note 8, it can back ported to Note 8, of course, if Note II gets Lollipop. Strange part is Poland Samsung still says lollipop coming to Note II, while Korea Samsung offically said No.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sputnik767:
Considering that the device is now rather old, I am not at all surprised that 5.0 isn't coming. I never expected it to. My only complaint is the BS excuse that Samsung gave about hardware concerns. If they were actually concerned with performance, they would not have created TouchWiz in the first place. Lollipop was designed to run on very weak hardware and despite the Note's age, it is very capable of Lollipop and TW. With a dual-core CPU and 2GB RAM, it's no slouch. I would much rather have Samsung come out and say that the reason they are not releasing 5.0 on it is because they are no longer supporting this device.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] dingbatt:
If only Samsung would actually produce a replacement for the Note 8 I'm writing this on. I don't want a friggin' 10 inch tablet to get something with an S-Pen (don't want a Note 5 either). I was disappointed there wasn't a version of the Tab S2 with S-Pen support, maybe they could call it the Note 8S, or at a pinch a Tab 8A based on the Tab A. Maybe they are scared of cannibalising Note 5 sales.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] afblangley:
The Note 8 didn't sell well. It seems most folks aren't willing to pay $500 for a tablet that isn't made by Apple. Even the much cheaper Tab A with stylus isn't taking the world by storm. I'm doing my part, voting with my dollars, but apparently not enough people feel the way we do.

:(
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] cybershawngates:
Part of Samsungs problem is creating too many products causing confusion. Theres prob 50+ note, tab, S version, 2014 edition etc.. every permutation possible. While apple has prob 6 ipads and 2 minis total. Too many products creates confusion and difficulty with brand recognition.

In phones there's the S6, S6 edge, and the S6 edge+ and the note 5 and that's just this year.

Doesn't matter Sam not giving a lollipop TouchWiz for Note 8, as I've never been a fan of TouchWiz.

Has met my needs..

Just my two cents worth...

I have had the Model 5110 Note 8.0 since April of 2013. I agree that the battery life does not come close to the iPad Air that I had at work, however it has been a great tablet without any problems. I have never had to reset and hardly ever perform a restart. I have lollipop on my Note 4 and frankly it doesn't really add much functionality for me individually. I would like to continue receiving security updates to Android on my device, but, an updated OS is not a disappointment to me. It would be nice for Samsung to give us the option of more ram at purchase time, but alas, that is for another discussion. So far, I still have close to the original battery life when I purchased the Note 8.0 and I am a heavy daily user. Just sharing my experience. Have a good day...

Android 5 works fine, it's ****ty TW that is the issue
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] cybershawngates:

Note 8 3G (GT-N5100) 4.4.4 Poland

This might interest those who are longing for an Lollipop update. Compared to KK, I found LP to be bad on battery after testing for a couple of months. The culprit happens to be "surfaceflinger". In (CyanogenMod) LP it consumes 40+% of my battery where in KK (CyanogenMod) it is 20+%. Googling reveals "surfaceflinger" is a worrying factor for many even though we can't do anything about it (without making the screen displays nothing :p.

So, I decided to test TouchWiz 4.4.4 Poland. To my surprise this ROM is smooth & solid than any of the previous releases for our device. Also, it has 0 memory leaks (CyanogenMod has several leaks). After de-bloating and tweaking, I can get more than 17 hours of moderate usage (heavy book reading). Also, just 1% of battery drop per 12 hour standby. Btw, not yet tweaked with Amplify.

Other than the looks, which is not my main concern, I think KK is more solid than the LP, and also battery friendly! :)

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] profedrini:
I can't feel sad. I tried lollipop on my note2 cellphone, went back to KK.

I don't see many big improvements and 2 annoyances: 1) petty one: it's all fin white. Material design may be elegant, but white is overwhelming everywhere 2) more serious one: xposed is limited , several useful modules I enjoy no longer work.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] gooberdude:
Ha! I like white and it saves on power and is easy to read at night.

Yes every iteration of android becomes less and less robust as its predecessor. I hate LP material design on tablets. It is a waste of space and is no easier to work with than using a menu button.

I love JB on my 1st Note 8.0, simply it works better than KK when properly setup. As for my second Note 8.0 on KK, I have somewhat made peace with it, but it is still not as stable as JB with tweaks.

That is why I am moving away from Android on devices. Instead of living with broken apps during updates and having Google lock their design and block SD card use, I will be interested in Linux, Windows, or IOS devices as they are less prone to be so annoying and market tracking ridden.

Plus the upside of having real applications run with full blown OS installs.

I would love if someone would make just a straight Lollipop rom for the Note 8. Even if it was from another samsung device but tweaked to be compatable with the Note 8's processor, gpu, spen etc..

I've tried cm13 and most of the other roms I've looked at for the Note are still stuck on 4.4.2 or use some cyanogenmod UI elements somewhere in them... Even if it was a fairly straightforward port from the note 5 but modified for the Note 8 would be fine with me.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jazzespresso:
not possible my friend...you will need compitable lollipop bootloader and kernel for Note 8, without these two, there's no way you can able to get other samsung lollipop ROMs ported to Note 8.

I see no value in LP. After 2 years of messing with the 4.4.2 junked Note 8.0 from ebay, I can finally say I am 90% happy with KK. Though, 100% happy with JB on my original one I purchased 3 years ago for $150.00 new.

Though I had to obtain a 12/2015 ROM that was not pushed to the states, and manually loaded various Framework, Permissions, LIBs and ported apps from yNote 8.0, Tab S Sensation for 801x, with its Dolby update pack and Note 2 Phantom ROM. Not to mention Jazzspresso's Tab4 Touchwiz and Tab4 4.4.4 MyFiles. Now I have a Tab 4 minus ColorBlind and Easy/Emergency Mode. Now only if a Dev would make a ColorBlind enabler utility for us who are colorblind. ColorBlind.apk from the above ROMs work just need an option to get the menu.
