A proud new owner of Note 8, quite satisfied to its performance, really convenient for a college student like me, but the camera really fall down, quite disappointing

hey got few questions

1) Got any official thread got Galaxy Note 8.0? hahaA
2) Lowest price u can get now?
3) portability wise, how u guys bring this tablet? in pocket or bag? haha
4) Colors available?
5) Read a few other places complaining bout Spen and Multiwindows having some problems after update. can it be solved by factory reset?

planning to get 1... or i just get a lenovo k900
>.<
*
1)Yes, in xda forum, though it's not really active http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=2243
2) RM1300~RM1400 is the normal market price now
3) I usually put it in my bag cuz I'm a college student, but normal coat pocket could fit well for the tablet
4) I only see White color in Malaysia
5) For multiwindows problem normal factory reset will do, though I didn't face this problem after I update
For the spen calibration problem, if you face this problem you will have to revert back to 4.1.2

Thx. Mind giving a short review?.
n  Why u chose this tablet n nt others? Other than spen function haha
*
haha, I choose note 8 mainly is because of its spen function tongue.gif , really convenient to take notes in uni.
other than the pen, I also like its screen size, not too big like 10' but not too small like 7' , exactly ok for one hand holding too

the downside of this tablet is that the design is so so so ugly mad.gif

not suggested to take picture in note 8, the pictures quality are just...meh. For me I just take with my phone.
For college use I suggest note 8, big screen some more, like me I just put all my lecture notes in my tablet so it's quite convenient when I need to revise something.

Note II not bad also but I personally feel it's quite small for a note taking devices.

Hi guys.

My Note 8.0 have a strange issue after the updates.
Some apps like to crash or cannot run.
Google+ randomly displaying 'Google+ has stopped.'
Wechat gives error also but solved by uninstalling and install back the app.
now candy Crush saga cannot run.

it seems like uninstalling and install back the app will solve this issue.
but...
for google+, we cannot uninstall it, is it? (i don't want to root)
for candy crush saga, will the game level progress restored if i uninstall and install it back?
*
for google+ you have to uninstall it on play store, and then update it again.

as long as it sync with facebook, suppose it will remain the same with your progress.

after must survey of getting a good tablet, note 8 caught my attention the most.. After the price readjustment into around RM1250 for 16GB+3G, I am wondering should I get it or not.
Perhaps note 10.1 2014 version is too expensive right now.. Nexus 10.1 doesn't have 3G support, nexus 7 2nd gen is kinda small...

My main task of getting it are
1)check email, calender
2)Cloud storage
3)reading pdf, ebooks...
4)making notes during lecture.
5)light gaming
6)a fast note if some idea pop out from my mind.

Is it convincing that this is the best tablet out there right now?
I really hope note 8 2nd gen wont come out so fast... arrgh... Any negative experiance on this tablet?
*
It's definitely one of the best tablet I ever use, although now I occasionally face some freeze but its bearable cuz its 7 month old already biggrin.gif , always use it to take notes and read some pdf, but the screen can't compare with apple's retina too, if stare too long my eye will feel sore and tired but it won't happen on retina screen. my 2 cent tongue.gif . Have fun in this tablet biggrin.gif

If you get a tablet just for entertainment purpose, just get an iPad.
