Windows 8 on US Galaxy S3?

Alright, with Windows 8 around the corner, was wondering if anyone is working on Win8 arm port for our Galaxy s3's (and im not talking about the international version cause that one got exynos which will never be compatible with windows environment due to lack of drivers and low ram) but our Galaxy S3 runs on same chipset (S4 Plus) that win8 tablets will be running so maybe somone's is planning on port?!

Nope.

Anything (almost) is possible. But I highly doubt it. Android on the MS Surface (ARM flavor) is more likely.

A future Samsung wp8 phone may be based on the GS3 hardware. That could get wp8 rolling at least.

Won't happen. Android is open source so rom makers can make their roms as they want however windows phone 8 is not. If somebody released a rom if even possible Microsoft would come down on them like a tornado and rightly so.

he's talking about Windows 8 not WinPhone 8
i had the exact same question.

It's possible to have Windows 8 on the s3 I guess, but it's not open source?
Not sure if Microsoft would approve

That's the best thing they could do. The SGS3 outsold the iPhone 4s in the US, they could ride that success train easily.

Dual boot could be nice, like I did with my old I phone 3G when I installed android and iOS in dual boot with bootlace

I don't recall the GS3 being ARM-based to actually support Windows 8 RT.....

Any Microsoft WinCrap software is NOT open source .. so for anyone trying to port that over to our phones would be illegal .. and if someone trys to port Windows 8 RT onto an SGS3 .. it definately WOULD NOT be on XDA.

What mobile processor is not Arm based? Razr I's.

I can't think of a single reason you'd want Windows 8 on your phone anyway.
Besides, getting it to run on any ARM based mobile is about a lot more than just having an ARM based processor.

wow... for someone raging as hard as you are on Microsoft, you should at least check your spelling.
why hate so much? i have 2 surface rt tablets and there is no other mobile OS that can do what i do on them. even though i'll be honest android is better for porn.
Now on op's question windows 8 rt is not going to be possible.

Install windows versions on epic?

Is it possible to flash any windows version on the epic 4g and still be able to switch back to whatever android version of ones desire?

Not sure if you mean Windows phone or the desktop windows, but either way, no. Windows phone does not support the Hummingbird processor, and desktop Windows does not support ARM (well at least the ones before Windows 8, which isn't out yet).

[Q] Is the Nexus 7 incompatible with my laptop?

This might sound weird to you guys, but I'll see if anyone is having similar issues.
Whenever I plug my nexus into my laptop, it overheats(the laptop)...to the point where it reached 105C(the max for my laptop) and shut itself off.
Things I tried:
-I made sure that I was plugging it into the USB 3 port without the close lid charging.
-Updated drivers for adb/mtp
-Used a different cable
I don't know what else to try. Those temps aren't safe for my laptop so I can't consistently keep doing this.
Suggestions anyone? Thanks.
By the way, my laptop is a Samsung series 9 NP300X3E.

That's weird. I plug mine into my series 9 ultrabook and no issues Herr. Though I do run Linux. Are you running in quiet mode, performance, etc?

My laptop just killed itself,
Sad day. I don't know if it was the laptop or the tablet. I'll see tomorrow when I get a replacement.

Yeah it was. I just got a replacement from best buy and it seems to be working fine. At least I had that silver rewards thing so I had 60 days. Weird issue, but now solved.

That does not appear to be a Note 7 as the software installed is android 5.1 and the note 7 comes with 6.0

Ain't even a note 7
That there is what one would call
Click bait

Looking to Root Samsung Note 7 on Macbook Pro, please help?

I'm trying to find links to root my new Note 7. I have a Macbook Pro that I'll be using and every download I find, seems to not work okay with either it's only a Windows download, or the hack won't work.
Please, if anyone would be so kind to help, that would be awesome.
I've got a note7 sm-n930v if that helps.

I recommend Parallels or Bootcamp.
