AT&T Note 8 Question

I currently have the wi-fi Note 8.0 and love it. I would like to get the AT&T model but is it rooted yet and does the multi-window option work? Finally is the AT&T note stuff here or is there another area to look for? Hopefully these questions don't sound to dumb.

Rooted Yet - No
MultiWindow - Yes
This is it for AT&T Note 8 LTE SGH-I467
I'm sure that it will be rooted soon. (I Hope). I got one a week ago and love it. I only want root so I can install Titanium Backup. Custom Roms are nice, but I just want to be able to debloat and have a good backup

since this is a question, you should have posted it in Q&A....

I agree, I should have caught that.

The AT&T model is not rooted yet. The multiwindow feature works great. There is no specific forum for the AT&T model so we discuss it here. I highly recommend picking it up if you can. I'm absolutely in love with mine. It'll be even more awesome once they get it upgraded to Android 4.2.

I too purchased the AT&T Note 8. On the morning it became available actually. I too love the Note 8 and highly recommend it. Especially so with the bundle deal that brings the price down to $199.
That said I have found a few issues that are in need of fixing. Firstly, of course, is the ability to root so one can use Titanium Backup to debloat. But also many have found that the screen freezes momentarily randomly. If you want to use it to play games you will be disappointed. Also, every time you power up (boot up) the current version of the software resets all factory defaults so that 3rd. party keyboards for example are deselected and you have to manually select them as default. I personally have also found that the Samsung calendar as well as google calendar doesn't automatically sync with your Samsung and/or your Google accounts, you have to do this manually as well.

these are all reasons that I bought the wifi version; we already have root, there are custom roms/kernels, custom recovery, and since there is wifi almost everywhere, and where there isn't, I can tether to my Note2, I didnt see any reason to give ATT another dime of my $$$$
hope you guys get root/custom recovery soon, because a tweaked, debloated,OC'd Note 8.0 is nothing but fun!

I hear you. However, some of us who were buying new phones anyway the AT&T bundle deal pricing of $199 for the Note 8 as opposed to the $499 retail made sense. Yes, I would liked to have root already but I will live with the wait in light of the initial cost savings. Now when can I get a Note 3???? :laugh:

not sure where you heard the wifi was 499; I got mine for 350 at Best buy, and I think there are places selling at 325...
but yeah, 199 is a nice price....
Note 3 is a ways away, i think!
I'm sure you'll have root soon; maybe send a pm to Chainfire, and see if he is working on it yet...

I also find that Chrome has problems. I don't know if it's a Chrome issue or a ROM issue but Chrome seems to not get click placement right when tapping on the screen, especially when using the pen. You have to tap below a link to get it to actually fire. Very annoying. Even with the brand new Chrome 28 release a day ago, it still does this. I'm using the stock browser until this gets resolved.

Is almost certainly a Chrome issue. Chrome 26 works fine. The problem was introduced in Chrome 27. I'm sure it'll get fixed eventually. In the meantime I'm just using the stock browser. I didn't see it as a big enough issue to do something drastic like taking it back.

Last night's update of Chrome Beta (their second patch for this issue) fixed the problem for me. It will likely be a number of weeks before the patch makes it to the stable Chrome release.

Yeah I just saw that. Thank God they fixed it! I want to use Chrome rather than the stock browser. I hate that sites I open on the Note 8.0 don't get synced to my other devices. haha

Okay, I thought I was either drunk or crazy. I swore Chrome was registering wrong clicks and it would eventually just stop with the input all together. What a terrible bug - I too was forced to use the stock browser. Glad it's fixed in the latest release. Let's hope that makes it into the Play store sooner rather than later.

[AT&T] 4.4.2 Update CHANGES

I'm starting this thread because the official update thread has become more of a "I can't update" and "this is how you get around that problem" than about the result of the update... which is not only fine but important. But I think it's just as important we discuss whatever changes are taking place in the new update once it successfully installs.
This thread is strictly for AT&T, and I encourage others to start one for other carriers as the bloatware and other crap will differ.
What I know:
- OTA Kit Kat update began rolling out on March 26th with the majority of updates available in the evening and then mass-available the following day (I updated on the 27th).
- If you have not rooted your phone, most people should have no problems with the OTA. If you are experiencing issues, go to this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51457419
- Once the update is complete, a number of people (or everyone?) have reported (including myself) that touch does not work on boot. You can take out the S-pen, navigate as needed, and tell the phone to reboot. Once rebooted again, touch should be restored (verified on multiple reports).
- New, faster boot time.
- More responsive menus and motion.
- Revised status icons from the "colorful" Jelly Bean look to the monochromatic grey.
- Reports of hotspot being disabled (which means AT&T lied IMO when they sold me on the "hot spot is free now" line).
- Google Wallet does not allow click to pay (someone else will need to elaborate since I have never used Wallet)
- There is presently no root for the OTA version of KK (that I know of)
Please add to this, evaluate what bloatware remains, or was added, what works still, what doesn't that used to work on JB, and so on.
Also, someone with an S-view case please let us know if the S-view window functionality still works.

i have the official samsung branded flip cover and it works even better with the OTA update. It gives you more features when accepting calls. And overall more fluid.

That's ok, I stated that a number of people did, not everyone. Not sure why. It could be due to whatever software was previously installed. But for those that have the issue, there's the fix.
I wil be honest, I have an unofficial S-view cover. But I just yesterday got my otterbox and struggled to get it on, dust-free. *sigh*.... .I will do my duty now and remove it from the otterbox and reinstall the generic S-view cover. FWIW it LOOKS official... has "Galaxy Note 3" in the official logo style on the bottom and "Samsung" on the back, embossed into the vinyl. Cost me 9 bux shipped. Worked fine before, absolutely nothing wrong with it whatsoever.

Here is the Official Announcement from AT&T in regards to the KitKat upgrade for our Note 3's.
Android™ 4.4 KitKat® Now Available for Samsung Galaxy Note® 3 Customers

I don't trust the "official" announcement. They're gonna play up what they want, and fail to mention what they take from us. Reports from actual owners/users is what we're after here.

What features? I haven't noticed a difference from 4.3 and I also have the official S-View cover.

Got the Note 3 a month ago andI was very dissapointed that the Note 3 GPS voice was much worse that the Note 1. With the KK OTA upgrade, the GPS voice was changed and sounds better (although I think they put too much base/low tones in it).

Thats because it's the Samsung voice you're hearing, not the standard Android "voice". You can change this in Settings to the stock Android voice.

I haven't updated (I won't give up Safestrap), but from what I've seen, almost all the "improvements" have been done to 4.3 by the devs here. I have a PIN coded lock screen - with a camera. My GPS works except when I turn out of the development. (In the entire city, and on 75 mile trips, that's the only place it glitches, and it recovers in about 3 seconds) ... The only real "improvements I see are a little bit more RAM, a little faster (faster than X-Note on 4.3?) and default text app (but since I run the Kit Kat app, and there's nothing else installed, that's a big yawn to me).
AFAIC, this isn't 4.4.2, it's 4.3.1, with a few things broken from what you guys are saying. It's a minor point upgrade, nothing like what I think most of us were anticipating all fall.

Can't side load any apps. The install button doesn't work.

[G920I] [ZEROFLTEDV] Galaxy S6 Discussion, Custom ROMS and more

I am starting this thread for the G920I model of the S6. Codenamed "Zerofltedv".
Where is G920I Available?
- Singapore
- India
- Australia
- USA
- Latin American countries
- North America
The S6 comes with regional locks for particular countries, And need to be activated with a sim specific for that region.
What is this thread about?
- For discussion.
- Online and local availability.
- Isssue discussion.
- Custom ROM development specific for this variant.
- Pricing
- Accessories

Curious to see which country with the G920I model gets updates first so I can flash that region's firmware in Odin. Australia will obviously be last as usual so I'm keen to get off this firmware ASAP and get onto one that doesn't block auto-rotate in the Gallery app

And regarding the auto rotate, it's been an issue on Samsung phones in Australia for years due to some lawsuit with Apple.

Yes, I am on the Indian firmware, which came right out of the box, got a small update yesterday thou. If our models are G920I then we should be able to flash any firmware for the same. My question is what is up with the regional locks? will that be a problem?

IS anyone here having the flash always on problem? mine is very dimly lit if you see it in the dark. very very dim, I have to try hard to observe it. Is it a major issue? are your devices doing the same?

am on a singapore version and i dont have the flash always on problem. battery life sucks though, coming from a OPO.

Lollipop should be coming soon

Lollipop is in the final stage of testing for all the tab pro series 12.2, 10.1, and 8.4
http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entr...-2-Lollipop-Update-is-coming-by-Early-Q3-2015

I really hope this is true. I am interested to see if they "toned down" TW like they did on the S6 .

great news, thanks for this..

I hope there's an option to not update for a while to see there are any "issues" after updating....I have a Nexus 5 and I'm still on kitkat due to all the battery life issues people had when updating it to lollipop....and it's a flagship google device!!!

Hope it doesn't come with CleanMaster as a pre-installed app
As the title says, hope that lollipop doesn't arrive with the installation of CleanMaster Malware. The malware CleanMaster got installed on my ASUS memopad 176c & cannot be truly "uninstalled"; it keeps resurrecting & keep getting notification that an update is available even if I "uninstalled" it; when the notification arrives, CleanMaster shows as "installed" again.
CleanMaster is in "/system/app/CleanMaster" & cannot be deleted by an unrooted device. So, how does one change setting?
Read statements that say Samsung is/will be installing CleanMaster even if it is a malware & trojan.

Every device has had some issues with every update. Period, this is nothing new, this is never going to change. Most of the issues are fairly rare, but of course those are the loud ones. ALL, every single one of the Lollipop upgrades for my variety of devices have been either ok, no big deal, or wonderful enhancements to an already good device.

I'm as anxious as anyone about getting lollipop but I would just like the option of waiting a bit after the update until others have tested it out. The tab pro8.4 is my first Samsung device and wasn't sure if samsung automatically update you or if you have the option to wait and update at your leisure so to speak. Have you done a Samsung update and know if you have the option of updating when you're ready or no? TIA!

It will alert you that there is an update, it will not automatically update

I'm never gonna update to lollipop. It runs smooth, i get 10 days battery with 7+ hours screen time and lollipop itself is bugged as **** anyway. Why fix something that isn't broken?
Btw, my knox and everything is frozen anyway, so I doubt I will be able to update in the first place.

Read his post. He said he checked in with sammobile.

Interesting to see TabPro leap past Tab S to 5.1.1
It's already the faster of the two, now it's ending up with the newer OS despite being older.

Let's see if it ACTUALLY GETS 5.1.1 before cm13 comes up.

Any Differences Between The Note 4's

Has anyone got the Snapdragon & the Exynos Note 4?
I wondered if there where any main differences?
Does the Exynos have 4g?
Which is better for music playback through earphones
Any other things?
I have the Snap dragon atm & was looking at an Exynos to go with it.

Exynos is 8 core version, and it does have 4g!

I got the N910C (Exynos) specifically because it has Wolfson DAC and the Snapdragon doesn't. Sounds great on my Sennheisers - so much so, I sold my treasured Sony Walkman

So what have you guys got on yours KK Or Lollipop?

Lollipop. Upgraded the day I bought it and never looked back. Did a factory reset before setting it all up, just to be on the safe side. Getting 6+ hours screen on time. Runs very smoothly - just minor lag when pressing the recent apps button, but that's rumored to be fixed in 5.1.1.

Does the Exynos get the updates same time as snapdragon or is it pot luck?

Sorry, not 100% sure of the answer to that, but I would expect there will be some difference as they are different internals/architectures. No idea which would get priority.

Ok Cheers,
I see you are running >>>Currently using: Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (N910C), 5.0.1 BOC3<<<
How is it on Lollipop? Before I rooted my snapdragon N4 it was awful on LP.

As I said above, it's fine. I have had absolutely no problems, and can't think of anything to complain about. Haven't rooted, and haven't found anything I wanted to do that I couldn't. YMMV of course, and a lot can depend on what apps you have installed. I disabled a lot of the bloatware, like Facebook, Flipboard etc. I haven't found the need to use Power Saving mode yet, and run with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth on all day.

Cheers Matey.
I've ordered one & hoping it's here tomorrow. Looking forward to it
I guess it's a bit greedy having 2 Note 4's but oh well. be nice to see if the differences in day to day usage.

Which countries stock rom do you use eg: DBT BTU?
Had a look on sammobile & cannot find UK BTU for the exynos.
Cheers

Mine is Hungarian, got it SIM free and unlocked from Handtec - don't think there is UK specific ROM for the N910C. However, mine works fine on EE 4G.

Cool. That's good to know. I have downloaded a Poland Rom, That should be ok, yes?
Ta

Yes, as far as I know - I have read of others using the Poland ROM. But you don't have to download a ROM, you should get the Lollipop update OTA or by plugging into Kies (or Smart Switch or whatever it's called now).

I'm running Lollipop since day one, everything running great, about a week ago I rooted, awesome. And just yesterday I flash the INFINITY ROM, and is faster than ever and battery is running 5 to 6 hours using the cellphone all day long
