POWER TO THE PC!!
No I'm not a "mac" or a "pc" guy. But I just want to point out a fun Apple thing I've noticed about Mac users.
We use Mac Pros intensely in our Graphic Design department. People who say "Macs Never crash" have obviously never used their Mac for more then Mail.

why are video calls so bad?

Did anyone ever try to use video calls with skype/google talk?
I noticed that the video stream the comes from the 2x is always WORSE in resolution that other phones (i tried 1 galaxy S, 2 galaxy wifi players = low end devices) and the resolution is much better. It seems like it's basically half. It's not the connection I'm using since I tried several combos, even with only the lg 2x with active video camera in a call on a 3MBit upload connection it's still the same crap!
Is this because of the lack NEON?
I think its because the front camera is very bad

Check if your screenprotector covers the camera.
Its both the back and front cameras, resolution is way too low and they show EXTREME aliasing
Lg optimus 2 x Front camera 1.3 megapixel for that its Should be good video quality. I tried to skype and it's Showed me gorgeous result.

conserdering buying this device? should l?!

I need ur opinion guys....., is it GREAT CAMERA? I mean leaving every other thing aside is it a good camera cus I already have android devices and I need a good camera
Yes, it's great camera with poor support
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
I agree, it does take great pictures and has the best LCD screen you can imagine for a camera. But sadly Samsung have lost all interest in supporting it, software features on the Galaxy Zoom and Note 3 are better and run higher version of Android.
If you can get one for a good price then go for it. I still love the camera but wish it would receive updates to fix interface lag issues.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Yes awesome camera, I use it daily and the Android features are a benefit that come in handy more then you may think. I also am disappointed the there has been no support for the camera. I would still buy the camera again, however mabey wait until the new one is released so you at least get a newer version of Android and more features and better chance of support from Samsung. I love this camera so much that I am actually considering purchasing the Galaxy NX instead of a DSLR here soon.
My camera no has dust inside and the image is affected...

Would this camera be a good device for streaming over the ustream app or using to add to a hangout? I want to stream speakers at meetings. Also does it have a mic port for a shotgun mic?

It does not have a mic port.
It does have a mini-HDMI -port, headphones jack (of course) and the default mini-USB -port (2nd of course
Also experiencing that interface lagging and it's quite annoying when you should be able to take a pic fast, without no waiting. I've done 1 factory reset to my device, it helped a bit.
I believe you can use an external mic with an adapter via the headphone jack. You'll need an iphone/ipad mic adapter and then it will work with any standard mic. I know I'm responding to this thread late, but the Galaxy Camera 2 has been out for a while and is already being discounted. It's running Android 4.3 and I'm not really experiencing any interface lag at all. For better battery life and other features I wish it was Kitkat, but JB 4.3 is definitely good enough.

FINALLY! A reasonably-priced AA head unit with capacitive screen and no fugly UI

The JBL CP100, announced at CES and available "soon" for less than US$400.
Supports AA and CarPlay, 4x45W speaker outs plus 4x line outs, Bluetooth and an analog FM tuner. Standard 2-DIN size. Steering wheel controls (they don't specify, but likely the standard resistive ladder type that will require a canbus box for most newer cars). This is what I've been wanting since AA was announced. I will be buying the very first one I can get my hands on.
Wow thanks for the news, didn't saw that !!!
Hope it will be comptible with my car (France).
Arf, I checked the dimensions and think the depth is too high for me ; but maybe if I take out the carter or put a cable between the screen and the motherbard I can reduce it, will see. ^^
I will wait some feedback first !

What audio DAC chip does the Note 8 use?

What audio dac chip does the Note 8 use? Former note 5 and 7 owner here. I love the dac on my LG v20(note 7 replacement)! Will I be disappointed when my note 8 arrives?
Coming from the lg v20 u probably will be.. I've owned must top end galaxy phones and the DAC does let me down, its not awful but nowhere near as good as the lg ot htc...
Sent from my SM-G950F using XDA-Developers Legacy app
The S8+ DAC is great. I am no audiophile, and can't compare to the V20, but it sounds great to me. And I believe the same DAC from the S8 is in the N8. I think there was another thread here that had that info earlier today or yesterday.

I have the LG V20 and the Note FE, the V20 is in a different league when compared to last year's Note.

Like I said I can't compare to the V20. The S8+ seems to have better sound than the Note 7, and I expect the Note 8 to also have better sound since the Note 8 is the same as the DAC on the S8+ (I believe). Whether it is on par with the V20 I can't say and from others have said here doubtful the Note 8 will be as good as the V20 in this area. But for me it is more than good enough if it's on par with the S8+.
I've had the Note 7, V20, and S8+. I can say that the N7 audio sucked. The V20 was amazing. The S8+ sounds just as good from what I can tell. When I got the N7, it was terrible. I was afraid that the S8+ would be equally bad, but it's not. It's a world of difference. I'm using Westone W4R between all 3 devices.

My wife has a Galaxy S8 and with high res music above CD quality the V20 is much better.
Hi, the V20 had quad ES92B ESS Sabre DAC's. In terms of technical sound reproduction the V20, on paper, is superior to the Cirrus logic (Formally known as Wolfson) DAC on the Exynos Note 8 however............. IN terms of sound reproduction there are numerous factors that affect the end result IE, what we hear.
The amplification process and, of course, the ear buds or head phones in terms of a mobile device. Not to mention the source material and the ambient we are trying to listen in.
In general the V20 should outshine the Note 8 IF all parameters are equal. In real life seldom are said parameters equal. To that end to truly hear the difference we would need to be in a studio with identical volume presets, head phones, high end source material and music genre.
For a mobile device that is not really meant to compete with dedicated Hi-res portable players costing hundreds of euros, I think most of us including the so called audiophiles like me will be happy taking into consideration we won't have to carry around a second device. I guess its the same with the cameraphiles who will be happy with taking less accurate pictures BUT not having the need to carry a dedicated canon DSLR?

apologize for the following question-
how does note 8 stack up against htc10,...i know i know it's a silly question, yet curious, i haven't tried the v20 quad dac ... people highly praise it though
i'm just a simpleton ...i was earlier a edge plus user, had to switch because of samsung not giving memory slot.
music+camera are my main priorities , but miss the deep blacks of sAMOLED.
What about bluetooth audio?
I use a Samsung bluetooth dongle with high quality earphones & the FE sounds fine. How about the V20 or Note 8?
Good question. Does the Note 8 have Apt X?
V20 has aptx HD which is amazing as long as you a headset that supports aptx HD. I don't believe the Note8 will have aptx HD as Samsung use their own UHQ codec.
The s8+ had Atpx, so the note 8 should have.

It will be a looooong time if ever before phones catch up to DSLR's. It will be a long time before phones catch up to dedicated audio players, because as you said they can't provide the necessary amplification (especially without significant distortion).
Back on topic, if the international Note 8's carry the Cirrus logic DAC's, what will the US (Qualcomm 835) Note 8's carry? What does the US S8/S8+ carry? I assume it will be the same. The V30 and it's quad DAC comes out soon, too. I don't think the Note 8 will match that one, either. However, I want my S-pen. So, I just want to be good. I don't expect V30 greatness.
Back off topic, a few people mentioned AptX in this thread. AptX makes Bluetooth audio less awful, but it's no replacement for a quality DAC and wired headphones. It shouldn't even be part of this discussion.

Aptx and AptxHD are two different things. As far as I'm aware, AptxHD is only available for Snapdragon SoCs, so the international Note 8s will almost certainly not have AptxHD.

Very true but that wasn't his point. The cameras and audio output for phones have advanced to the point where they're 85% as good as dedicated devices (DSLRs and audio players) and most people can't justify carrying another bulky, inconvenient device just to get that extra 15% performance gain. Maybe the Note 8 camera(s) can't match the latest DSLR cameras but it might be a match for a DSLR from 5 years ago, which is still pretty damn good and exceeds most people's needs.
I was tossing up between getting the Note 8 and the V30 because whilst I wouldn't say I'm an audiophile, I do like my music to sound awesome. The Quad DAC was pretty tempting but none of the major carriers in Australia stock LG phones (except Telstra and **** that) so I would've had to buy it outright. There's also the matter of perspective. I'm coming from a Note 3, so while the DAC in the Note 8 will undoubtedly be inferior to the DAC in the V30, it will still be a huge step up from what I'm used to. If I want some extra oomph in my music, I'll use my Fiio Q1 (and Viper4Android).

I know that aptx and aptx HD are different! Aptx HD headphones are very rare. The aptx codec is not limited to certain SoC as the headphones i have are not SD!

Sorry, you are correct. Aptx HD is a Qualcomm product and I naturally assumed that phones that don't use a Qualcomm SoC wouldn't have this ability. My bad.

Yes the HTC10 could drive headphones harder than ANY portable device on its own that I used and sounded pretty good at it too.
And the faded looking LCD is the reason why I punted it. Compared to my Note5 it made me sick.

Hi, Thanks for the reply. I don't know for sure what the snap dragon use I understand they have their own system and the DAC is possibly part of the SD processor? This would need research and as I will be purchasing the International Xynos mobile I don't follow the SD programme. Sorry I cant be helpful on the SD mobiles.
