As part of the perks for buying the Note, Samsung also give me "12 months of Boingo wireless hotspot".
I did not register but went to Boingo website. I noticed that most of the "trusted" and "certified" hotspot are typical Starbucks, McDonald's, etc. hotspot. Other than airports' hotspot (which I don't use much), what are the benefit for using Boingo?
I have no idea. I actually uninstalled it becauseof the pop up notifications every time I logged into my home Internet.

You can disable the pop-up in the app. I haven't had a chance to try it at an airport yet to see if it gives me free access.

I bought my Note 8 too early since this was not included at the time. Does anybody know how early buyers can get this perk too?

does anyone know if we can use this on other devices, or just our galaxy note 8?

Try to register at Samsung Perks website. Can't remember the site name, but just Google it.

I think it's tied to your account instead of device specific, similar to Dropbox 50gb promo.

Hey guys,
I just placed an order for the following item which is Miricast pre-certified: http://www.netgear.com/home/products/hometheater/media-players/PTV3000.aspx#
As per several articles online such as this one http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/19/3356512/miracast-certification-wifi-direct-video-streaming , the Galaxy 3 is already Miricast enabled (I assume the technology is similar to its allshare cast).
My question therefore is how will I be able to enable/use that feature once I get my new Wireless Display Adapter? I assume it's an app to use, but as far as I'm aware there is not one yet on the market. Is this something we have to wait for Samsung to release as an update?
Thank you in advance for any help.
I belive you would use wifi direct to connect to the unit

Makes sense, I'll try it out as soon as I can and report back. Thanks!

Tried it out but it did connection failed, although it did identify the adapter and try to connect. I thought it was a WiFi direct problem with my Rom on my phone but I just tested it with my co worker and we can send stuff to each other no problem.
Any ideas?

Okay just got off the phone with Samsung and they're saying only the International Galaxy 3 is miracast certified? Can anyone else confirm? I really only got the PTV3000 for this feature =/

I came from the S3, and as we all know Tmobile gave us The Avengers for free in HD and SD. I logged into my media hub on my Note 2,but for some reason can only download the movie in SD. When I try to download it in HD I get download fail... Anyone else having this problem?
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
A related question. How much longer will the movie be available for download? This might help me decide if I should just buy the Note II now or if I should wait longer for Walmart.
It will always be free for Galaxy S3 owners. I dont know if its free for Note owners.

It was specifically for S III owners as a promo, so would not have expected it to simply work on the N 2. I offloaded the folder with the avenger HD and just for laughs may put it on the Note in the same position to see it it works. Will post if it does.

But a quick phone call to Samsung would tell you, even though it was a S3 promo it should work on any Samsung product now. I called 3 times and was told that all 3 times.

I owned S3 prior and downloaded the movie then. maybe that's why i'm able to download it or "redownload" it.
I need to upgrade both my old Android tablet and phone and am seriously considering getting the note 2 rather than 2 separate devices. I'm wondering if anyone who has the Note 2 finds they're using it exclusively rather than in conjunction with a tablet. I was an early Android tablet adopter, getting my tablet before buying an Android smartphone. At first, I'd take my tablet with me and use it at WIFI hotspots. I now find that I just use my tablet at home. The idea of a phablet is intriguing, but I wonder if any of you with a Note 2 find that you still need your tablets. TIA.
I probably would, but I do still use my Nexus 7, and use my phone as a hot spot.

Im using my note 2 for nearly everything now. I have the p1000 and an acer a501 and don't use either much. Except for maybe the odd movie on my acer a501 and ebay.
I love this phablet and very happy with it.
Hope that answers your questions.

One device, can't go wrong.
When Samsung says it's the best of both worlds they weren't lying. I can't wait to get mine for Christmas. I had to be pulled out of the AT&T store because I wanted to play with the phone all day. Definitely can be used as a tablet replacement, but only if you already have a computer.
Sold my SG3 to move on to the Note 2, I love my Note, but still find my self using my Galaxy Tab 10.1 , just not as much. I use the Note when
Im out and about and use the tablet at home. But if I did not already have the tablet I would have no issues just using my Note
I've pretty much stopped using my iPad 3 completely since getting the Note 2. Really is the best of both worlds.
Obviously the Note 2 wouldn't be able to completely push away my Transformer Prime with it's keyboard, ports and additional screen size, but any thoughts of wanting a Nexus 7 disappeared once I had the Note 2 in my hands.
Original iPad only gets used by my wife and kids now, I almost never use it, honestly could live without it now.

The Note II is an AWESOME device and in many ways is faster and smoother than my Asus TF300 (w/ dock). Even so I still prefer to do certain things on my Tablet with it larger screen.
Now if I didn't have a tablet I could get by with my Note II (though I'm looking forward to seeing what the Next Note 10.1 has to offer).
Actually, after falling in love with the screen real estate of the Note 2, I purchased a Nexus 10 and now tether from my Note 2 to my nexus 10
Yes don't use tablets anymore.

I purchased the Note 2 for this exact reason. I wanted a tablet and a new phone and I decided just go with the Note 2. I just ordered it today and it on back order. I will let you know how it works out once it comes in.
Have a ipad1 and ipad3 and a iphone 4s. Dont really touch them at all anymore. I got the note2 because my ipad one is pretty much obsolete and I travel 2 weeks a month for work so its a perfect fit for me.
I bought some ebooks with the Samsung credit we got with this device. But I really don't want to read on such a large tablet. Can I access these books on another device? I would rather read on my Nexus 7, but I can't figure out a way to get my books there. I couldn't even find a way to access the on Samsung Note 8 tablet. It doesn't seem reasonable to sell books that can only be read on a single device, so I'm hoping someone here can help me figure out how to access content I purchased on another tablet.
Thanks

Facebook? That's the only reference I can find to "fBook".
Btw, I tried installing Samsung Hub on my less than one year old (rooted) Samsung Note 8 and it installs but crashes on opening. Same result as on my Nexus 7 with build.prop edited to look like it's a Galaxy S4.
It is just insane that Samsung sells ebooks that aren't compatible with their own tablets.
How can I ever trust Samsung enough to purchase anything from them if what they sell isn't even compatible between the same family of devices of the current generation?!?

Right on the rooting, nothing special. FBook is the reader I used, it is no longer available. There are others that provide that option though.

Are you saying the reason the Samsung hub app crashes on my Note 8 and Nexus 7 is because they are rooted?
I still have made no progress accessing my ebooks I purchased on my Note 10.1 (2014) on any other device,
Any help is appreciated.

It's probably framework dependant just like a lot of the TouchWiz apps. The note 8.0 should have Samsung hub by default though, assuming you haven't debloated it.

I agree the Note 8 *should* have Samsung Hub, since it is a current generation Samsung device in the same family of tablets, but it doesn't. And it is not even listed as compatible on Samsung page:
http://www.samsung.com/us/samsunghub/
Which is why I'm at a loss why anyone would trust Samsung to buy anything from them if their own tablets aren't even compatible?

Are the books as single files? As in can ou browse for them on your device?
Or is it purchased through an application?
I use a combination of google drive + Moon Reader to achieve some thing similar.
All my books are on the google drive and moon reader + syncs my reading position so I can read on

Got mine delivered today (8/19). After having all 4 Notes this is my first non Note phone in 4 years. Always bought the Note series for screen size and powerful hardware, and not the S-pen which I never used except to try it out and screw around, so yea, it's not important to me.
If you want to use Samsung pay, don't root. I read an article from chainfire if you root you can't use Samsung pay. Even if you unroot you still can't use it because knox is triggered to 1
Well for me this phone looks like a note . If we are talking about the size. Btw ....amazing and powerful device. I got mine yesterday. Cant wait for root. I dont use or plan to use samsung pay. I would like to debloat this baby!!
