I really love the tablet. The experience on it is beyond what I had expected. It's just, the exterior of it is really ugly if naked lol biggrin.gif but now its ugliness is hidden well beneath a flip case... and if only it came with a FHD screen and LTE.. those are the only drawbacks of it.

Wait for next year Note 8.0 (2nd edition) then..lolz
Btw..have you root your Note..?

ya man. and 8" is really good for a tab. 7" is too small, while 10 is too big for me. Note 8 2nd Gen must have at least the appearance of current S4. Bezels too large la with this. Looks ugly seriously lol I don't know how many times I've mentioned that it's ugly but the experience is seriously good!
haha ya rooted right after updating via Odin yesterday. Rooting is a must for me. biggrin.gif

guys, how do I detect since when the warranty has been going on? I bought this from a user here and would like to know if this tab has been registered for the warranty purpose. Anyone knows how to check?

Better stay with 4.1.2. Some known problems with 4.2.2:
- S-pen misalignment. The drawing has some offset from the tip of the pen where it touches the screen.
- The special screen when you pull out the S-pen (S-pen screen) and put in the headphone jack (multimedia screen) is no longer available in 4.2.2.
- Possibly of higher battery consumption.
*
S-Pen misalignment? by how much? mine seems ok with the alignment. but not sure if the accuracy is better on 4.1.2 ROM since I updated it right after I got it. Maybe a little bit of misalignment of 0.1mm, but doesn't affect my writing style that much.
I can live without the special screen, just sometimes wish could call out the Quick Command page without having to scroll down my notification panel.
Battery is ok for me. Screen-on time is averaging around 5hours+ and running up to one day max. Is it better on 4.1.2 ROM? If standby alone, can go to 2 days+ I think.

All these are based on rooted stock ROM with Greenify enabled. biggrin.gif

got the OTA prompting me to update as well but failed maybe because I've flsshed the Wanam Xposed framework. what's the update is all about other than the stated 'stability improvement'? anyone knows?

is the 4.2 stable yet?

bro, it was released by Samsung as official release, of course it is stable. You're not talking about custom ROM so basically stock is good enough for average users. It's just, some users here have reported of S pen misalignment on 4.2.2 ROM, but I don't face any issue with it. Tips: After updating to a newer official ROM, if you have any issue, reformat.
