Just rooted!

I found my tablet in a drawer and decided to root it.

Did it yesterday and installed lineageOS too, it's still great!! :cool:

Still using, but needs motherboard swap.

Oh, I still have mine and since my S3 blew up (literally: flew out of my motorcycle tank bag on the freeway *don't ask*) I am looking to buy another motherboard for my GT-N5110. Its such a good device that i'm going to fix the issue with not being able to recharge the battery. Anyway, does anyone know if the GT-N5100 (3g model) motherboard can be incorporated into the wifi version (GT-N5110 my version).

Happy note taking,

Q

---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:59 AM ----------

I had the same problem with the charging and battery drain. I replaced the battery and charging port but still wouldn't boot or charge. I did some research and found out the motherboard is most likely the culprit. The boards sell for cheap. I'm waiting for mine to arrive and will let you know if this fixes it.

Q

**Update**

I forgot to post my repair summary! OMG I'm a loser. So, I bought a new motherboard and a battery. Both were amazingly easy to install. Just a bit of fiddling with the outer back case and removing a 3/4 ton of screws. Pretty self-explanatory if you have any knowledge of building a computer case (except there will be no scraped knuckles in this process).

I have been using my newly refurbished Note 8.0 since I wrote the original message above. Today is October 22nd, 2020.

i bought 1 for my father in 2013, but he just kept it inside his cabinet for 6 years, and gave it to me few months ago.

brought it to Samsung official service center for new battery replacement, and its does work till today with 1 or 2 hiccups.

those problems are :

1. stuttering when watching YouTube Video in 720p

2. video turned into green screen when i tried to watch video in chrome.

anyone suffer such issues? and any solution for these?

Anyway, still great tablet for e-book reading.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] justinas2003:
For me youtube works just fine. 720p no lag. But videos in chrome sometimes glitch, but after factory reset works fine again. One time for some reason device did factory reset (kind off). It reinstalled few google apps, deleted all files and google kept crashing, it was near impossible to factory reset device through settings (It spammed google services has stopped message). Anyways device works fine and as you said it works well for e-book reading.

The Tab is really strong. I've using my since 2014. I've also bought few other smaller tabs which I have replaced. But Galaxy note 8.0 is still alive. I had a little problem with it last year but when I changed the power flex it started working again. How I wish it can go up above Android 4.4. This limited some new Apps from running on it. I use it for lectures as I connect it to a projector while I use my S-pen on the tab to write on the screen. It's not too big and not too small as a tab. It's just good.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] smnc:
Just picked up a mint N5120.

I had a i467 years ago, but gave it up due to a bunch of reasons.

Just tossed RR on the new tab and it's going really well so far.

This is probably just a stopgap until I find a good price on a Tab Active 2 or a Tab A 8.0 S-Pen, but it's great to see these OG s-pen 8" still going strong!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Enchiridions:
two Note 8s still going strong

I use my Note 8s every day. Joined this forum because my public library's ebook supplier said my tablets' Android version (KitKat) was too old to use their app. (They obviously don't understand libraries are meant to be inclusive!). Thanks to you guys (women included), have upgraded them. Currently re-reading - I'm a slow learner, k - Bill Bryson's 'A Short History Of Nearly Everything.' Diolch yn fawr iawn as we say in Welsh (Cymraeg).
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Queue515:
I had shelved mine for some time, as I couldn't easily shake the Factory Mode overlay, and didn't have the free time to dedicate to fixing it. Plus the battery was tanking fast, and my USB/MHL connection was getting weak and not performing correctly.

My main use (beyond casual net surfing) is to use the tablet for lyrics and chords while jamming/singing with our dad band. ;)

Unable to find a way to get out of Factory Mode without rooting, I decided it was time to go that route.Thanks to this great resource (XDA), I was able to root my tablet yesterday, and now Factory Mode is GONE!!! Now I've ordered a replacement battery and USB port to fix the other issues. Surgery is scheduled for Tuesday, when Amazon delivers my replacement parts. I'm looking forward to continued use, and now that I'm rooted, I may investigate some of the ROMs to see if I can get past KitKat, but I only really rooted to get rid of that damn Factory Mode overlay.

I'm still using mine as an audiobook player and GPS in my car. the GPS signal is miles better than either my rom'd Note 3, or my back up factory S5.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] qsworld:
I'm so rock'n mine as a kindle e-reader. With the new battery upgrade this thing lasts all day and night for reading. I usually read for an hour each night and sometimes during the day when work is slow.

My 1st Lov

I got one of these for my 30th birthday. After owning it for a couple months I was inspired by it to return to college at a community college. I bombed out of college when I was 18 and just didn't think I could handle that kind of structure and accountability. But I got this bad boy and was a older and wiser and was like this could be really good for students. 8 years later I'm studying for the BAR exam. I owe this device a lot. UT was my daily driver from day 1 at community college through my first year of law school and it's design and versatility were a serious big part of my is pirating to even try college again.

I ended up replacing it with a galaxy X2 9.7 tab with spending because the battery doesn't hold a charge anymore. But I used this thing a lot. I'm using it now. I use it as a universal remote because it has the infared remote sensor that no devices have now. It charges but once it's unplugged and the screen is on it'll go from 100 to 50 in like 5 minutes and from 40 to just turning off withing another 5. But plugged in its still super crisp. I bought a surface proof 4 for law school after I broke the screen on this but hated the sp4 pen pen so much that I bought a new screen for this and brought it to one of those places thqt fix screens and such. An hour later she looked brand new and the spen was flawless. I was suprised. So for the dreaded 1st year of law school this was my life raft. In law school i was still using this as a notebook and calendar and my sp4 for studying, 2 have my case briefs up on it in class and to type paprs and then use my note 8.0 5110 like a paper notebook with one note and as a pen and paper organizer calender with this amazing app called Penocle. It's old and doesn't update but it's awesome for note devices if you want a calender that's built around the s note engine and a pen and paper style organizer with the advantage of digital functions (like repeating events) it's amazing and has a small cult following. It doesn't auto sync across devices either but you can manually do it from inside the app. Development says he's done with it.

But I still use my note 8.0 today 8 years later. My Tab S3 has taken over it in many ways. But this sits on my coffee table plugged in mostly (battery lasts days unplugged if it's just sitting with the screen off but turn it on for anything but looking at the home screen and you can watch the battery go. I've thought about replacing the battery I love this thing so much. This was my first note device first of many. Just bought the galaxy book flex 15 to replace my SP4 when the battery on it went bad. Unlike my note 8.0 the sp4 battery won't hold a charge at all. But I went with the galaxy book flex largely because it uses the wacom emr spen and this note 8.0 was the beginning of that love affair and it was an amazing tool i used on my journey to become an attorney. Long live the gt5110

Ps who thinks I should replace the battery?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ektus:
I've replaced the battery on both of mine, it's not overly difficult. There are instruction videos on youtube. Problem is locating a good quality replacement battery.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] afro972:
i'm looking for one and very difficult to find
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] :
Have you found a good one? I tried one from Amazon with decent # of reviews, but it's just as bad as the OEM one it replaced.

So I'm actually here hoping that I can root and ROM this so that I can use OneNote on it. I've had this device for years, and right now I mostly want to use this device as a handwriting tablet, syncing up to OneNote. I couldn't even install OneNote from the play store so I had to sideload it as is and it won't connect to my Microsoft account. Can anyone confirm if a root and ROM will help in this situation? Thanks in advance!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] ektus:
Nope, not yet. I've replaced it twice already, and initially the capacity was good, but degrades quickly. Problem is the frame of the tablet is already cracked several places, and that doesn't get better with opening the case :-(

[Android Auto General] K1kote:
Hello people, I would like to automate the connection of my cell phone to the HU, the only thing I need to enable on my phone is the Hotspot, is there any way to enable only the Hotsport when I enter my car? Another thing I would like you to do is that every time I turn on the car and the HU goes out of the sleep mode, kill the processes and close all the previously opened app, im on Hal9k rom.
[Android Auto General] K1kote:
I saw that you can configure the Tasker application to activate the Hotspot when the BT of my car is connected, but I do not want the BT to be activated, I want only the Hotspot to be activated, it occurs to me that every time the HU leaves the mode Asleep, send the task to my cell phone in some way (use the same account as the HU) and activate my Hotspot, is it possible?
[Android Auto General] oVeRdOsE.:
In my case, here the sequence :

1. Car BT detected

2. Data ON > Hotspot ON

3. Car BT not connected

4. Hotspot OFF > Data OFF > wifi ON

In details. quoted on XDA

In tasker :

1. New Profile -> State -> Net -> BT Connected

2. New Task -> Plugin -> Toggle Tethering -> Click Config Pencil -> Enable Tether -> Open setting buttons below -> Toggle Allow modify system settings

3. Go back, don't worry about clicking Install app to system and go back again, and back one more time -> Click the play button at the bottom left to test to see if it works. Prosper! (Don't turn tethering off just yet)

4. Go back to profiles, and long press on the Toggle Tethering Enable tether task and click Add Exit Task

5. New Task -> Plugin -> Toggle Tethering -> Click Config Pencil -> Click Disable Tether radio button -> go back 2 times -> click the play button at the bottom left to test to see if tethering has been turned off.

I dont want to use BT, I made it... is not full tested but think its works. With that I turn off BT after hotspot is on and again turn on BT and he dont reconnects more. View attachment 4731615

Very good thread. By reading it I discovered that I can make my life easier.

I have a new peugeot 3008 with android auto and the next setup :

- my main phone (not rooted) is in my pocket, with bluetooth on, paired with the car. I don't use it for android auto, just for calls and media streaming. When I'm in the car I just keep it in my pocket. When I start the engine it automatically connects to the car's bluetooth.

- my "entertainment" phone - always connected via usb to my car's media unit. It's a rooted phone without any sim inside. I have wireless on all the time, and I make a hotspot from my main phone to have internet on this rooted phone. Being rooted - I've disablet the bluetooth completely, because android auto would have forced the bluetooth connection to my car from this usb connected phone. And I don't want that, I want to connect to the car's bluetooth just with my main phone, from my pocket (because I want to benefit from hands free voice calls from my main phone - where I have my contacts and a sim card, plus other reasons ... the car sends trip statistics after every engine shut down). Off course, on this rooted phone I have installed carstream and aa mirror.

Until now, everytime I entered the car, when I needed internet on my "entertainment" phone I had to reach from my pocket phone and manually activate hotspot, and than, in about 15 seconds my "entertainment" phone automatically connected and all was ok.

After reading this thread I've discovered a little app called "Automate" and I've used it to automate the process of activating hot spot.

So now I don't even need to reach out to my pocket phone ... I just enter the car, start the engine and that's it.

The logic of the flowchart is :

- check if the bluetooth is connected to my car ; if yes - than enable hotspot ; if not - disable hotspot.

The automation is running on my main phone, and I use the fact that when I go into my car - the main phone connects automatically to the car's bluetooth (I off course have to keep bluetooth on all the time on my main phone, but I had it on anyway).

The result is that I start the car (actually the multimedia unit of the car is the trigger) - my main phone auto-connects to car's bluetooth, the automation flow immediately senses that and enables the main phone's hot spot - and than the "entertainment" phone from the car connects to this hot-spot in about 15 seconds or less.

I turn off the car, I'm disconnected from car's bluetooth - and the automation flow senses and auto-disable the hot spot.

Great !
[Android Auto General] HgtDave:
I use Carspot http://http://www.carspotwifi.com it automates WiFi hotspot on your mobile when BT connects. Be aware you will need to power your mobile whilst in the car as hotspot consumes considerable power.
[Android Auto General] K1kote:
I do not keep BT conected because I never im on BT mode on the HU and is uncomfortable go to BT mode each time I have to listen something come from the phone, like an WhatsApp audio. Yes I will like to keep just the phone calls with BT... But even I do not talk much by phone.

already work on my modified S4. but unfortunately S4 GPS accuracy not good. so now i am looking for other 2nd hand phone. targeting xiaomi note 3, because of easiness to root.
[Android Auto General] Quiksmage:
I do this with a secondary phone using freedompop. I setup tasker to turn on hotspot when charging and airplane mode when not. Works like a charm.
[Android Auto General] AlphaBravo:
Very good thread. Automate makes life easier.

Friendly reminder that android supports background scanning since ages, and you can use it if you can't be bothered to keep the whole thing enabled (and yes, automate supports it for example)

Hi,

For years (four) I'm using multiple Apps for this task. And I prefer to use this one: Hot Spot Starter

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.thjunge11.autohotspot

It works without root and just for that.

I never see a problem with it in five different smartphones that I used with it.

I hope it helps.

---------- Post added at 11:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------

I hope someday AA can work with TWO phones at the same time: one connected via USB and the second via wiresless. More or less this solution will enable WiFi AA with HU supporting only USB (as car manufacturers doesn't like to update the software for free).

[Android Auto General] joeontherung:
Just want to say thanks to all the information on here.

I required to have notifications popup on my car stereo older android unit due to my phone's speaker being broken I required to see all my work emails appear as popups on my screen to do this I couldn't find any simple way.

I found 1 tool that does this well my app store is outdated and only offers 3rd party crap I found "Android TV notifier" I gave it a shot and was amazed runs brilliant pushes any specific applications notifications to the server. Which looks great on the screen as you drive.

Problem was every time I got in car I was required to switch on hot spot also if I forgot I got no push notification :( so these instructions helped make this happen.

Manb there is a simpler way to get mail notifications working on my head unit but my work uses activesync and they tighted the security which stops older devices syncing but the push notifications works great on the head unit. I set it to push outlook messages and WhatsApp and Facebook and text messages

Apps required to make this happen

Android TV notification app ( on phone and also on head unit) (register for small fee)

Tasker (setup as instructed on site)

also some head units have locked startup so I had to locate a decent startup manager for the headunit due to it blocking Android TV notifier from starting.

Hey all,

I have developed a new app for Android 11 that will do the bluetooth-enable hotspot feature. You can also set it to enable hotspot if the charger is connected whilst in certain orientations.

let me know what you think.

SpotUp
[Android Auto General] sosimple:
A simpler way is, create a script in tasker to enable Hotspot. Create an app from this script. (by using tasker factory). Use a button in phone to enable / disable this app by double pressing the button.

So every time you need a Hotspot you just double click the button of the phone.

You don't always need Hotspot to be enabled when you are in car because you will drain battery without reason. This way you easily enable disable Hotspot every time you really need it by just double pressing a button..
[Android Auto General] HouseFuzzy:
Its a few years later, but THANKS! I couldnt figure out how to set it up on Tasker, because I didnt know you can long press for the exit task...

Also it has kinda changed. Its no longer a plugin to turn on/off tethering, but its integrated into the network settings.
[Android Auto General] MikeyMelb:
Hi there I feel a little silly asking this question but here I go.

I have been using llama for years to turn the hotspot on the phone on when I am in the car. However, I just got a new phone and llama is not available but I have downloaded and paid for tasker and found a project on taskernet "automatic car hotspot" BUT it asks to confirm the device rather than connect automatically. I would appreciate it if you could look at the project and point me in the right direction to get this to work on my new samsung S21.

The phone connects to the car (forester)

If connected > Turns on mobile hotspot

If NOT > Turns off mobile hotspot
[Android Auto General] MikeyMelb:
Hey guys just in case anyone is wasting thier time I have solved this issue. I used smart switch to copy all apps from the old phone to the new and low and behold llama came across and while it reports it may not work on this version of android it does.

Apologies if anyone has wasted any time on this.

I think you are talking about a small menu that appears when we tap and hold on an app icon. there is a general bug in oreo roms. that whole menu doesn't appear after the tap and hold. there is a workaround that you can try. just go to the apps section in settings and try to force stop your launcher app. if it doesn't work then clear data of launcher app.

Well that's embarrassing. I guess just like my friend who's a lawyer that works for Google once told me: GNHGJG. He used to say this to me all the time whenever we would talk about how bad they are at development yet continue to hire the same inadequately-skilled technicians and engineers for the sake of minimizing expenditures, which literally means "Google Needs Help, Good Job Google!" and since they have already spread thoroughly the notion of their superiority over iPhones, their place in the tech industry is virtually unchallenged.

Hello guys, I just want to share some of the concerns I have regarding Xposed.

Over the years, I have used couple of phones including Samsung Galaxy S4, Samsung Galaxy S6, Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus and now I use Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus.

As soon as I flash Xposed, I experience my phone slowing down considerably. It heats a lot as well telling me there must be something going on under the hood.

Did someone have similar problem?

Thanks!

P. S. I surely do not have over five modules activated at any given time.
