N8000 Dual Core - 1GB Ram

Just wondering since my Note 10.1 N8000 Ram is 1GB and Dual core.
I didn't find anything about it; and I needs to know is it compatible with custom roms or not?
Anyone knows about it, please help
EDIT
As I mentioned in post #7, it is a quad core processor (I think it is somehow a cpu utilization, because some time it display dual core or 3 cores, but when I open an application or game, or even samsung app and games hub it goes quad core)

Are you sure your device is Note 10.1 N8000 & not a Tab 2 10.1 ?

You need to go to the about settings and see if its an N80xx or a P7500 model...
If its a P7500 model then you have a galaxy tab 10.1 NOT a note 10.1.... Don't flash the roms for a different device or you will end up with a brick...

It is a N8000 16G 3G version (With S-Pen)
Look at attached screenshots (one from the device it self and the other one from the result of IMEI online checker)

If you have a n8000 you have a quad core 1.4ghz with 2gb ram just to let you know . To my knowledge all Note 10.1 variants have this config. And no they wont be compatible with roms

Now, it display a Quad core processor but still 1GB ram
About the MODEL, it is N8000, 3G 16G black edition
check attached pics from the back cover, sorry for unclear images

I don't know the internal wiring of the note but it may be possible they put 2 1gb ram dimms inside. If this is indeed the case then its possible that one of these dimms are faulty causing you to register only 1 gb of ram.
I'd take back to the shop, check out the demo mode and if they argue point this out to them. If its less than a week old they should replace it with a new Note straight away. Just remember to take everything in with you.
Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 has 2gb of ram and a quad core processor. Only the early pre-production model had 1gb of ram was a dual core but I've never heard of anyone getting one of those.

Thank you

Yes, I know the old specs. is 1GB ram, Dual core and 3MP camera; and that was changes before hitting the market (for show only im MWC 2012)
And if this is one of these demo tablets, it should be 3MP cam and Dual core; and this is not my case.
Thank you for your time

Weird, the IMEI pic says it has a Bluetooth 3.0, when the n8010 has Bluetooth 4.0
Pretty unique little Note 10.1 you have there.

and no Infra-red
Also, the device has no infra red port
Still discovering its specs and will let you know about
I FEEL I'M THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS SPECS
YES! UNIQUE
Edit:
Was rooted successfully, CMW recovery injected and a backup was taken.
Tried to install Android_Revolution_HD-Note_10.1_4.0 but failed (stuck while installing dropbox for more than 20 minutes with 0%)
So, returned to the backup. Downloading a stock 4.1.2 UAE stock rom.

The material of the back doesn't seem to be of a note, very strange device, may be it was a test device or something

I would definitely take it back to the place were you bought it.
No way I would pay the normal price for a Note 10.1 and having it with half the RAM and half the CPU cores.
I think this is a faulty packaging process, maybe someone is packaging test units (old) thinking these are normal/fresh units.
No idea.

Starting point would be to assume this is a fake until evidence says its not .
One read the Build number .
Two rear stickers are wrong .

Yea, FAKE device was my first decision.
But the OP said he was able to locate the IMEI on an IMEI Specs database.
And the screenshot shows it's registered to Samsung, SO How Can It Be Fake???

Quad core
As I mentioned in post #7, it is a quad core processor (I think it is somehow a cpu utilization, because some time it display dual core or 3 cores, but when I open an application or game, or even samsung app and games hub it goes quad core)
Now, I thing I'm not able to install even the stock rom "N8000XXCLL6_N8000OJVCLL3_XSG.zip"
Stuck on the samsung logo, and the recovery CWM has gone.
I hope it back to restore the backup
to exit the samsung logo screen, I press too long ( > 20 minutes ) on power buttun, but some times it leads me to "POWER RESET OR UNKNOWN UPLOAD MODE". That takes the same time to exit then takes me back to the logo screen.
Anyone knows how to force restart or power off and exit odin or samsung logo correctly?
thanks,

Fake Galaxy Note 3?

I bought a white version of Note 3 from a guy on Craigslist and even though it looks like real thing, it felt like something was missing. It came with original box but the back cover was from Tmobile Note 3 and the S-Pen was generic. Seller told me that he lost those things that's why he to bought after market ones.
I just ran CPU-Z on the phone and it shows the following info
CPU: AMR Cortex A-7
Cores: 4
Clockspeed: 479 - 1.21 GHz
GPU Vendor: Imagination Technologies
GPU Renderer: PowerVR SGX 544MP
Model: GT-N900 (wingtech89_we_jb2)
Manufacturer: Samsung
Screen Resolution: 720 x 1280
Density: 320 dpi
Total RAM: 971 MB
As far as software is concerned the UI and everything else looks like Note 3. It even has all the Samsung customizations which makes me think that it is indeed the real thing but hardware says specs say otherwise. Also, I was not able to get the IR blaster working after installing Peel app. Is there any other way to check whether it has IR or not?
Question is, did I get totally F***ED or is CPU-Z showing in correct information ? If it is in deed a fake, has anyone sees anything it before?

It sounds a lot like a fake, the resolution gives it away, the Galaxy Note 3 has an 1080P display, I would suggest trying to contact them/contact the police if necessary

S-pen is the same color but it does not have a button on it.
I've been trying to contact him but he is not picking up the phone or replying to texts.

I've seen the fakes.
The "samsung ****" as you call it is also a fake try to clone it, with nearly everything under the standards of the real software.
Another thing that totally gives it away is that samsung named it the SM-900 and not the GT-900 as the fakes name it (following older galaxy phones)
The CPU also shows a cortex A7 which is crap (same as the extra "small" cores on the Octa)
The RAM is also abysmal at 1GB compared to 3GB.
This is not even comparable to a Samsung Galaxy S3.

At this point, you are dealing with someone who sold you a fraudulent item. Call the police.

In the UK the police won't help if you have used gumtree or Craigslist.
Reply to his ad for the galaxy s4, either inform the police of the information on him, though I doubt it would help.
Or meet up with him again take a few guys with you and threaten the scammer

Use an alternative number to contact him about buying the S4
then arrange to buy the phone when he shows up BOOM gotcha
How much did you pay for it could also be a good indication that its fake
I cant imagine anyone selling for a penny less than £400

Contacted local police earlier and they told me that they can't do much about it but when I told about the phone being fake, they told me that he can be arrested for selling counterfeit products and also for ”theft by deception ”.
I paid $475 for it.

Call from another number.
Ask to buy a Galaxy S4 from him, call the police and you'll both arrive and bang.
475$ is waaaay too much for what he sold you.

If it's missing the void stickers it could be a reconditioned phone.

One other thing. If you paid through your bank you can contact them & tell them you are the victim of fraud & they should get your money back.
If you paid in cash then you will have trouble getting your money even if you meet him.
Also you could text him & tell him you are going to run an advert warning others about his phones if he doesn't reply & sort it out.

This is the exact same phone as the one I bought.

Just looking at the web address I can tell its a fake, when did you ever see a Samsung phone titled with HDC? This is a fake chinese knockoff brand. They sell a heap of phones that are HDC (HTC) like the i9000/9005, n7100 and a heap of others... I'm sorry but you REALLY didn't do your research very well...

[Q] Slightly concerned with the CPU statistics on my N3.

Hello,
I just recently picked up a GN3 from Pakistan and due to how shady the cellphone market is here, I have been trying everything I can to figure out whether my phone is a fake or not. The device was shipped in from the UAE and what concerns me a little is the information I'm getting using a few apps that scan the CPU.
My knowledge in this regard is a little weak and for some reason I feel like I don't have the chipset that Samsung might have wanted me to have. Please take a look. I have the SnapDragon 800 version (SM-9005).
Should the processor say something along the lines of SD800E instead of ArmV7?
Thanks in advance.

Use this app if it's available to you and it will tell you if its real or a fake. It compares it to other devices.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hotdog.truth

Thats a Legit N3, All SOC are ARM Based.
Manufacturer, Device, Product, Brand, Android Version, API level,build ID, Fingerprint, Resolution, Processor, Memory, etc is all correct. From that app atleast you should have this if you scroll down:
OpenGL 1.X (Adreno(TM) 330 same for GL 2.0
Graphics mode should be RGBA 32BIT
If so, your all set. You can also benchmark it for peace of mind... your score should be 17~20k on quadrant and geekbench 3 should be 800+ for single-core and 2400+ for multi-core. (Mines 869/2510 GB3, 20K on Quadrant but stock should be abit lower)
There is no way any of the fake note 3 soc will come close to these scores.

Just a heads up though, if you use xposed framework and have xprivacy installed it can come up as a fake due to the app not having permission to read all the info.

[Q] Where should i buy my Galaxy s4, is galaxy s4 the best option ?

OK, i've been looking phones for days and 3 days ago i ordered a Galaxy s4 on Bestbuy for 500 $ ( tax included ).
I was going to buy a factory international unlocked verison on amazon for 350 $ ish , but i saw some bad reviews ( some say it's fake, some say it's refurbished ) and i decided rather just buy from bestbuy but it's been THREE days !!! they havent ship my phone yet.
Do you guys think i should just cancel the order and buy one from amazon or ebay for 350$, but i think those factory unlocked version doesn't have warranty at all !!
I need help !!

s4 its good phone u will enjoy:thumbup: and I always buy international version cos u get updates direct from samsung not from crappie networks
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app

If possible I would say buy a Nexus 5. The S4 is on a slower cpu, and I doubt we will get anything past Android L. The Nexus 5 is a strong device for the price, plus you do get months faster updates. You will probably get a few more updates over the S4. Both have comparable on-screen times despite a slight advantage for the S4. But you can swap out the battery for say a Zerolemon which would give a clear advantage over the Nexus 5. The Nexus 5 should have android L before December. All in all, I'd say go for the newer Nexus 5 for the Snapdragon 800's advantage in raw horsepower for games and general use.
When it comes down to it though go with your gut feeling and what is more important to you.

How does 300mhz fast help.
"If someone helps, never forget to hit thanks ? "

Actually it's an extra 1600mhz total plus an upgraded gpu for better graphical performance, for a lower price. Plus in white it's sexy. I wish I would have gotten a Nexus 5 over the S4, but I was in need of a new phone.

Show me..all i can see is 2.3 vs 1.9 quad core.
Are you saying 400 for each core? :/ and thus 1600 difference?
21% times faster it is. Just that. I cant see how 1.9*121% make a difference.
And then what about the i9500? It has Octacore processor? Will you say it has 1.6*8? Lol.
And please dont forget the camera.

There's 4 cores that means 400mhz per core. Therefore it's an increase of 1600mhz.
Also since the chips are both 28nm and on the same architecture, you can compare the mhz. You can't compare the Exynos soc to a Snapdragon based chip because it's on a different architecture. It's like Amd vs Intel if you know those two.
Both cameras take good pictures. Not a huge difference between the two.

But still the aggregate increase remains 21%.
Maths aint that tough brother. we are talking the same thing.
21% faster with no ext mem support, no IR blaster and tons of other features go missing. And still the wide acceptance and reputation of the S4 stands strong.
Plus here in India the S5 is almost the same price of a nexus 32gb. Why would one go for a "nexus" in that case too.
Plus Why not buy the google play edition Galaxy S4?
Where is the difference now mate? Just a processor. Camera, build quality, vendor reputation.??
Plus a S4 is A S4. Comparing processing speeds of different processors is no harm. Why do people then compare apple with samsung? Apple is still a dual core with a 1gb ram. So why are they bashed for hardware. I havent seen an iphone lag. (exclude i4 i4s)

Stop guys, everyone comes here thinks "Damn, I came in a battlefield?" [emoji14]
Tastes are tastes, everyone of us has different tastes among all other... First, Nexus 5 is faster for CPU frequency and GPU is more powerful than S4 (talking about I9505 that beats i9500), S5 is faster than Nexus 5.
How many guys among you may use Nexus 5 at its higher CPU frequency? How many hours battery lasts?
In my opinion, I used a Nexus 5 (with CM11 as my S4) and found that I can't notice any speed difference in normal and heavy use between its 2.3GHz CPU and my S4 with this frequencies: 1 core 1.67GHz, 2/3/4 core 1.45GHz. Even in games, S4 can run any game for Android without problems.
What about Cameras? What about S4's AMOLED vs N5's LCD? What about display density? And IR blaster?
Nexus 5 is more brute force and developer-like, not the best for multimediality.
S4's cameras shoot definitely better, display is superior, has IR led built-in if you want to command your IR devices like televisions, air conditioners, set top boxes, xbox etc. And it's not all [emoji6]
I was almost selling my device to buy Oneplus One, but I can't because I love my S4 guys, it's too perfect in my opinion.
Don't do always and only the "run for GHz", think about everything else too
There are also tons of other things to say, but it's late here and I'm sleepy [emoji42]

[Q] Lost GBs

I recently bought an unlocked Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (second hand) for my daughter. She is using a T-Mobile SIM. When she first turned the phone on, it seemed to work perfectly. It wasn't until she had downloaded a few apps that she realized the Storage only showed 1.32 GB Total space with 1.17 GB available. The box indicates a total 32 GB. Where are they? We did a reset, but that didn't help. Then I tried to do a recovery (Up Volume, Power, Home), but the screen does not look like the video; it only shows three options: Recovery Mode, Fastboot Mode, and Normal Mode. When I selected Recovery Mode, I got the "dead droid" No Command error.
I then found a video that suggested "flashing Odin" using Down Volume, Power, Home. But instead of getting the Warning! screen, the phone flashed "FACTORY MODE" and then I saw a bunch of yellow Korean characters against a blue background. I'm at a loss as to how to work through this problem. Please HELP!

That does not look like a genuine Note 3. I think it's a fake model.
Also, the text is Chinese, not Korean.

I agree, fake Note... You need to check what the processor is, if you can get it to boot, download Phone Info from playstore. It will tell you what type of processor. If the processor isa MTK**** then it's a Chinese knockoff..,

And a bad fake too. Don't you love your daughter ?

, using the*Samsung* app it tells me on my genuine Note 3 that the Hardware/Board is a qcomm/MSM8974 and the Platform/Chip is a MSM8974. This is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 801 processor.
Mine is a Quad core processor, your appears to be a Dual core according to this - http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...stand-the-information-of-my-android-processor
and this thread from the Motorolla Razr thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1403424
You have a fake Note 3...
