Anonymous, 07 Jul 2013Note 8.0 1. No Notification LED 2. Smart cover (magnetic)... moreSorry, I have both. The Note II lasts longer between 10 to 12 hours from its 3100mAh for me on heavy usage with constant bluetooth, 3G data on, wifi hotspot, torrent downloading, syncs, Internet music, web browsing and can give me at least more than 5 hours of accumulated screen on time on top of all that heavy lifting. I change the battery in the late afternoon, and yes it's better as the more compact device while commuting.

Note 8 can only give me at least an accumulated 5 hours (up to 7) of screen on over wifi. The 8's TFT screen draws 80% consistently of its battery's 4600mAh capacity since it has a bigger area to power. I put in my old SIM card on the 8 but I can't rely the 8 as my main daily device for its non-removable battery. With only 2 hours of screen on time, the 8's battery is half finished at noon time.

I wish it has an AMOLED screen for better efficiency like the Tab 7.7. The 7.7 can go up to 12 hours of video on one charge. You can save much power with an AMOLED screen with a black background since it only turns on the needed pixels that emits its own light, unlike TFT/LCD which needs and emits a constant ambient lighting from the screen sides.

The conclusion is, the Note II lasts longer on one charge than the Note 8.

If you have root, you can install RemoDroid to connect with another Android or PC to mirror your Note 8's display with a bit of lag via the local or hotspot wifi. I do my lectures with this method and tap the classroom's PC connected to the projector. Good for drawing demonstrations.

mantis, 05 Jul 2013Does it have NFC? No. What do you need NFC for? There is still WifiDirect and I learned to transfer large files the fastest to my Note II. The Super Beam app is interesting and easy, if file transferring is what you need.

You need to root your device.
Install PPP Widget.
Download the driver for the modem.
Configure SuperUser so that it will read the driver.

Frankly, it's a lot of bother. The instruction isn't simple. If I were you, get an Android smartphone to wifi tether than that dongle or a wireless modem. A smartphone is more practical and gives you the option to sms at least.

Buy mifi and throw that dongle away is only sensible choice.

TheNeighbor, 04 Jul 2013Just slide in the SIM card in to the slot for 3G connection... moreThanks for this - actually, my office provides internet dongle with 3g connection - my own sim (the one that I plan to use in my device) has a 2g scheme but I would at times need to use the 3g dongle - is it possible to connect through a dongle while using some other sim?
