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.
Loving this phone. I havent picked up my netbook for 4 weeks now because this has everything I need and with the milti-window i can multitask so i can say it has replace my netbook which is my main PC really. It would be great if it could replace my works desktop but no support for X-Kryptor VPN and can not by encrypted to the level my work requires.
What has your Note 2 replaced or have you tried not using you PC and seeing if the Note 2 can actually replace it.
My Note 2 replaced my previous Galaxy S II. I will never try to use it as a PC. I love my desktop and nothing can replace it other than a upgraded desktop only.
In current time we can't say it have replaced computer.
May be in coming time it will replace the PC.
Although today we can do most of tasks over this kind android device but still we have to wait...
The Note 2 replaced my iPhone 3Gs as well as my iPad 2, it does both phone and tablet things better.
Its replace my Samsung Galaxy Nexus, As someone else said it will never replace my desktop computer.
Ive stopped using my laptop as much as i used to. and ive sold my Nexus 7
My galaxy note 2 replaced my HTC One X. Did not regret that decision. This phone is better in all aspects except the screen, but that difference is minimal.

Replacement of a GS2.
I came from a Galaxy S2 LTE.
The Note 2 has replaced my laptop (at home) in fact my Note 2 is more powerful than my laptop. I turn on my laptop once a month to pay online bills and if my bank had an android app, I wouldn't even turn on my laptop.

Replaced my n4. I am still deciding if I should sell my gtab2. I like my gtab2 and it still gets a little nookie but the only thing it has going for it is and IR blaster, which isn't really worth keeping anymore. And my laptop is not going anywhere. I love my sager np5160. It can only be replaced by another sager notebook.

I personally replaced my beloved note 1...
I am absolutely pleased with this move as there is a big difference between the two devices as the speed is incomparable as is the user experience altogether...
I also have 5 computers at home and I must say that after this purchase I open my pc less often when I need to see my emails and browse the Web. ..

Galaxy s2. At home it doesn't replace my laptop.. However, when outside it feels like having my laptop with me
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.
I am considering getting the Note 2, but have never owned a Samsung phone before. I have a Macbook pro as my only computer and just wanted to know if their Samsung software works on a Mac and whether I can flash ROMs using my Mac instead of a Windows PC? I currently have an LG phone and this has been an issue

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!!

There's a site that has root working but for other devices though I sure wish someone could use that info there and share it here.
