All sorts of people go to the stations and offer expensive tablets for the cheap.
The owner of this tablet was exactly the same way he was "charged". There is internet, it says samsung samsung galaxy note N8000, but actually far from samsung samsung.
Looking ahead, I’ll say that it’s better to take yourself normal And well working a tablet on the Internet than to suffer with the restoration of the performance of this fake. For example, this one. Stopudovo will work without any glitches.
So, to the question of fake - this is how it looks from the outside, in a case, and there is even a keyboard :)
When turned on, they assure that it is Samsung. But we don't believe.
Even Samsung is written on the back cover, but we are still tormented by doubts :)
Just because the Galaxy note N8000 model looks different in the original, Samsung has a front camera in the center at least, and you can find five more significant differences. Here's another option with the Samsung Galaxy Note N7000.
And when you open it, we see the now quite popular Allwinner A13 chip
Actually the problem was that it could not boot. The Samsung logo appears, then Android, with a spinning arrow, and at one fine moment the arrow freezes and the download stops, the tablet freezes.
Thanks to the w3bsit3-dns.com forum, the firmware for this device was found from Jelly_Bean in this forum thread, it was flashed without problems, it works in full functionality. If you have the same model as I have in the photos, you need the firmware MaPan_MX913_DC_Jelly_Bean_4.2_Os_Root_Firmware_J20131101.img
Everything works, both cameras, wi-fi, volume buttons, everything is as it should be.
Saved on batteries. Battery capacity is too small for long-term operation of the device, only 2300 mAh (8.55 W)
The keyboard, by the way, also works, is fully functional, only for Russian letters it will be necessary to install a third-party application.
Due to the large number of questions about what kind of third party application there is a speech - I answer. Russian keyboard.
So, in the market, download the program " English keyboard". Go to "settings", then "language and input". Click "Default" and select "Russian keyboard" in the window that opens. Below the "Default" window, also check the box next to "Russian keyboard", and on the right we see a small icon (as a mixer, regulator) Click on it. Go to the "hardware keyboard". Click on "layout selection", select "External Keyboard RU". Go to "layout switching" and there select the appropriate language switching mode on the keyboard (space - this is a space). Everything is ready! Exit the settings menu and go to any search engine. Click on the small keyboard icon on the panel and select "Russian keyboard". Try to print - everything should work. In the case, the keyboard will still print in Latin letters, restart your tablet.
The keyboard shortcut works the same way as in Windows - Alt+tab :)
After the firmware, we should see such a picture in the settings.
Unexpectedly for myself, quite recently I happened to encounter a powerful Samsung tablet from the Galaxy Note N8000 series on 64Gb, and to be more precise, I had a chance to encounter a fake of this model.
Ran about a week ago phone call. A friend called me and told me that he was offered to buy a new tablet for only $ 250. At that time he was interested real cost of Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 64Gb 3G tablet, to which I answered him with data received from Yandex Market - the price of a new tablet varies from 7.9 to 9.5 million Belarusian rubles ($800 - $970).
For the sake of interest, I looked at the characteristics of this model.
Characteristics of the tablet Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 64Gb.
4th nuclear processor over 1400 MHz
2 gigabytes of RAM
64 gigabytes of built-in memory
10.1 inch screen
High screen resolution - 1280 by 800 pixels
2 cameras
Case with separate keyboard
Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and other gadgets
The model is more than solid, the tablet was bought at the beginning of the month in the city of Moscow, but now the owner has a need for money and therefore he sells it. A friend told me that this tablet even has warranty card and receipt from the store with the Euroset stamp, which basically eliminates the possibility of forgery.
Omitting details, he bought this tablet for $150, and he received such a discount after he said that he should connect it to a computer and check everything. Neither one nor the other had time, so they agreed on this.
A little later, my friend brought this tablet to me for testing, but at that time I had things to do, and I still had to go to training. In the end, I was able to start checking the tablet only late in the evening, and this is where the fun began.
How to check the tablet?
When I came home, I tried to turn on the tablet, but it didn’t work out for me the first time. It turned out that the battery of the Galaxy Note N8000 tablet was completely discharged.
I connected it via USB to my computer, the charging indicator on the screen lit up and then for the first time I was able to start the device.
Cool - everything works, I opened applications, clicked settings, connected the tablet to WiFi, used the Internet and even played some games installed by the previous owner. During such work, the tablet turned off by itself several times, and the battery level constantly jumped in an incomprehensible way - this alerted me a little. Later, I attributed all the problems to a dead battery, turned off the tablet and left it to charge.
When my friend returned for a tablet, he asked me to throw him a couple of films and imagine my surprise when instead of 64 gigabytes my computer recognized only 2.
The tablet settings displayed and inner memory and another 64 gigs, but for some reason not all of them worked.
I decided that N8000 tablet lacks drivers. There was indeed an unrecognized device labeled "Android" in device manager.
I climbed to the official website of Samsung, chose desired device downloaded and installed on your computer Samsung program Kies 3 with drivers and immediately ran into a new mystery. The thing is that the device was not recognized by the program at all, at the moment when my Samsung smartphone Galaxy S 2 was perfectly defined.
I'm sitting at a dead end - I don't understand what this tablet needs, what it lacks. In general, I spent about 2-3 more hours with him before I began to think that he might even turn out to be a banal fake.
I visited the legendary portal about mobile devices ah w3bsit3-dns.com, looking for useful information, I tried to update the operating system of the tablet, tried to reflash it and eventually even did hard reset (full reset), but never received any results.
The next day I called another friend who also computer technology and tried to find out if he faced a similar problem. It turned out that stacked and sent me in the right direction. He said it was fake.
How to distinguish a real tablet from a fake?
For a while, I searched the Internet for any related information on how to distinguish a real tablet from a fake, in particular, how to identify a fake in the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000.
1. With the original tablet, the camera is in the center- at a fake it is shifted into a corner.
2. With a real tablet Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 screen resolution 1280x800- the resolution of the fake is much lower. In my case, it was 960 by 600 - in other words, the shortcuts and app icons were just huge.
3.
Counterfeit tablet models do not have GPS. Try to turn it on, and everything will immediately fall into place.
4. Original Samsung smartphones and tablets in bare mode equipped special applications
like Samsung Apps, ChatON, Group Cast, etc. at a time when the functionality of fake versions is significantly curtailed.
5.
IMEI code certainly not an indicator, however, in new and real devices it is always present, and fakes usually have “unknown” instead of it - unknown.
6. Fake Samsung Tablets not recognized in the original program Samsung Kies.
A little from myself and pictures.
I’m sure if you dig deeper on the Internet, you can find many more ways by which you can identify a fake, however, in this case, for me, the very fact of the distribution of such tablets has become a kind of discovery.
Okay, here my friend bought a tablet directly from his hands on the street, but, it turns out, there were cases when such models were quietly sold to customers in fairly reputable stores like Svyaznoy. Where is the world heading?
And yes, by the way, after realizing and accepting the fact that the purchased Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 64Gb tablet turned out to be a fake, I again asked my friend to show the warranty card and receipt from the store.
At first glance, everything is as it should be, the amount matches on all documents, the check attached with a stapler to the warranty card, the seal, as is usually done in stores, is superimposed on the corner - everything is according to the rules. But if you take a closer look, it turns out that for some reason the booklet for the tablet comes from Samsung Galaxy TAB and not from Samsung Galaxy Note and the same IMEI code for some reason is not registered at all.
In fact, this is what the tablet itself looked like.
This is what the main application menu looks like. Pay attention to the huge labels, which are unlikely to match the high resolution I mentioned earlier.
And these are the settings of a fake tablet. The N8000 model, android version and other indicators are the same, but where are the guarantees that these data are generally adequate?
This is how the back cover of the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 64Gb tablet looks like.
And by the way, a friend whom I called in order to find out if he came across such a fake, said that most often the inscription on the back cover was not made with paint, but simply glued on, so this moment can also be used as a test.
Considering that today it was difficult for me to find at least some information about fakes of this nature on the Internet, I hope that few people fell for the bait of scammers and they will not get away with it.
In general, here are the things. Good luck everyone and be careful.
| If you were offered to buy a fake or, God forbid, you fell victim to these scammers and scammers, tell your friends about it. Warn and protect your loved ones! Law enforcement agencies are not interested in solving such problems, and judging by how actively the discussion is going on, it has already gained tremendous momentum. I believe that on this stage dissemination of information in in social networks this is perhaps the most effective way. Click on the "LIKE" button below this article and add a link to your wall. Your friends and all those who view your profile will see this warning and may have time to respond correctly. Let everyone know about this lawlessness - this is quite logical and correct. |
If you are the owner of a Chinese tablet Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 n8000 and you need to do a hard reset (return to factory settings), then read this article.
There are times when you need to do a factory reset due to an application error, a virus has entered the operating system, or you just want to delete all information from the tablet.
The reasons for the system crash may be due to memory overload (a lot of applications, games and other programs were once installed). Also, the tablet may, in addition to errors with the OS, simply not turn on or turn off. The gadget may freeze, load slowly, etc., then resetting the settings will also help.
There are several ways to perform a hard reset: soft reset and hard reset.
The difference in reset methods
They differ in that during a soft reset, you can select the deletion items. The information will be deleted from the memory card and from the operating system memory. With a hard reset, you cannot select the uninstall options. Thus, it is always better to save information from your tablets on media, if possible, because. all installed applications, account data, personal data and settings are deleted. And even if you want to return your firmware later, it will not be possible to do this, only if you “reflash” the tablet again.
Do not forget that you do all these actions at your own peril and risk, we recommend that you take your tablet to service center where experts can help you.
Soft reset
A software reset is much easier than a hardware reset. To do this, you need to go to the menu, then to the settings. Find the item " Accounts” or “personal data”, click on “backup and reset”, or on “restore and reset”. Then go to the "reset settings / data" item. This way you can reset Samsung n8000 to factory settings and delete all data.
Hard reset
For hard reset you must press the "Volume +" and "Power" buttons from the off or on state, holding them for about 5-7 seconds. After the "Android system recovery" window appears, stop holding the buttons. Next, select the item "wipe data \ factory reset" with the volume key and confirm with the "Power" button. In the same way, confirm the item "Yes - delete all user data". All. Factory reset is running. You only need to click "reboot system now".
Perhaps the most unpleasant trap that a future tablet user can fall into when buying it is a fake. One of the most popular models for copying by scammers has recently become Tablet PC Samsung n8000.
Chinese tablet samsung galaxy tab 3 n8000
From a logical point of view, this is quite understandable - the Samsung n8000 has all the characteristics of a modern tablet in the above-average category: a good resolution of a 10.1-inch screen. powerful processor, large memory, etc. Not to mention that the very name of the company Samsung already has long been synonymous with quality and cutting-edge technology in the mobile device market.
The price of a real Samsung n8000 does not fall below $500. At the same time, more and more often on the Internet there are reports of identified fakes that were bought “from hand” or even in communication stores for mere pennies. As a rule, as a result, the user receives a device whose capabilities are very limited in comparison with the original.
For example, the screen resolution of a Chinese counterfeit samsung n8000 tablet may be significantly lower, the battery may well turn out to be old and used, which means it will no longer be able to hold a charge well or will constantly malfunction. Also, don't expect from official Samsung apps (such as Samsung Apps) normal operation on such a device, they may not even be there.
How to recognize a Chinese counterfeit samsung n8000 tablet
- Due to the low resolution of the screen, the icons and other elements in the fake model look unnaturally large. As a rule, by the way, on the box or instructions for the device there is an image of a real tablet with small icons. Just compare them.
- A low-quality battery very often gives out a fake. Pay attention to how the charge indicator behaves, and also, of course, to the time battery life. In the original tablet, it should be at least 40 hours of standby time.
- The camera application can be significantly limited in its functionality, and pictures and videos come out of lower quality. The original tablet has a 5 MP rear camera with 4x zoom and LED flash.
- Real volume free memory fakes often do not match what is stated in the documentation. This can be seen, for example, when connecting the tablet to a PC.
- By the way, problems in recognizing the device through the Samsung Kies program can also indicate a fake.
Back in 2012, the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 tablet was introduced. Although this model has been present on the market for more than 2 years, it continues to be sold successfully. It is its parameters and characteristics that will be considered in this review.
CPU
The heart of this tablet PC is the Exynos Model 4412 CPU. It is Samsung's own design. It consists of four revision A9 cores operating at a frequency of 1.3 GHz. It is the combination of these characteristics that allows the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 to cope with any task without any problems. Again, all the features implemented in the APM architecture successfully function in this silicon crystal. This includes disabling unused cores, and downgrading clock frequency unused module. All this can significantly save battery life. In general, an excellent combination of performance and energy efficiency, which is a hallmark of all devices built on this architecture.
Graphics subsystem
For execution graphic functions The Mali-400 MP4 adapter is integrated into this device. Of course, at the time the tablet was released, it allowed solving all tasks without exception without any problems. But now its computing power is no longer enough for demanding applications. The screen resolution is 1280 pixels by 800 pixels. At the same time, its diagonal is 10.1 inches. This is enough for normal and comfortable work, but a certain graininess of the picture will be present. Another downside is the glossy screen. All finger touches will be imprinted on it.
A definite plus is the presence of a capacitive sensor, which is characterized by increased sensitivity. Another advantage is support for up to five touches at the same time. But now cheaper devices can boast of a similar feature. Despite the presence of certain comments, the graphics system of the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 is well balanced, and its capabilities will be enough for the needs of most users.
Memory
The memory subsystem is simply excellent in the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000. Feedback from satisfied owners of this gadget is another confirmation of this. Random access memory It has 2 GB installed. Now, 2 years later, not every tablet or smartphone is equipped with this amount of RAM. Built-in memory 16 GB - this amount is enough to store several movies or a library of books. In addition, there is a slot for a microSD card up to 32 GB. You can also use an OTJ cable to connect an external regular USB flash drive up to 16 GB. In general, the memory system subsystem in this case tightens by five points out of five possible. It can also be quickly increased without problems by connecting additional card memory or flash drive.
Frame
TO strengths cannot be attributed to the body of the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000. Reviews only confirm this. There are two options for its design - white (for a female audience) and black (more formal). Case material - plastic. Scratches easily appear on it, and it is unstable to shocks. Therefore, it is better to immediately buy a case in the kit that will protect this tablet from damage. A similar situation with the screen. It is made of ordinary plastic and is also resistant to cracking. So immediately you need to paste protective film so as not to scratch or damage it. These measures will significantly extend the operating time of this device.
Battery
A mediocre battery is installed in the Samsung Galaxy Note N8000. The Chinese version in this case is even worse. The proprietary device uses lithium ion battery at 7000 milliamps / hours. This capacity is enough for one day of comfortable work. Although with a not very intense load, its charge can last for two days. But still not enough today. Now there are already batteries for 10,000 milliamp / hours, and this is enough for 3 days of active use. But the Chinese copy has even less - 3000 milliamp / hours, which is enough for half a day of work. So before buying it is necessary to specify the modification of the device. In addition, the rest of the technical specifications in the Chinese version are significantly worse than the original.
Soft
Samsung Galaxy Note N8000 operates under the Android operating system with an outdated version 4.0.4. This is enough to launch most offers. But still, some programs (for example, the An-Tu-Tu tester) require version 4.1. Most likely, the system software of this tablet PC will no longer be updated. Therefore, owners will have to work with what is available. This nuance must be considered before buying.
Communications
Galaxy Note N8000 is equipped with a rich set of communications. First of all, it is bluetooth (perfect for connecting other mobile devices), Wi-Fi (provides top speed data exchange when connected to the Internet) and a 4G modem. The last option allows this device function in any mobile networks that exist today. At the same time, the owner of the tablet is not tied to anything, but can exchange data with the global web in any corner of the globe where there is mobile connection. Also, do not forget that there is the possibility of making calls. True, it is better to talk with headphones. The tablet has a large diagonal, so it is not very convenient to use it for these purposes. Among the wired communications, there is the ability to connect via the universal serial USB interface. For navigation, transmitters for working with GPS and GLONASS systems are integrated into the gadget. This will allow you to easily determine your location. All this is enough for a comfortable filling of this device with all the necessary information and navigation around the area.
Results
In terms of technical specifications and software looks flawless Samsung Galaxy Note N8000. The price is much too high. Similar tablet personal computers other manufacturers are much cheaper. For example, Lenovo Yoga can be bought much cheaper. The Samsung device costs $450, while the Chinese manufacturer similar device is estimated at 375. From this side, the purchase of a device from a Korean manufacturer is not entirely justified.

Counterfeits for popular tablet models appear on sale not much later than the official start of sales. Big brands suffer the most from the actions of such “craftsmen”. Buyers who have at their disposal a fake under the guise of the original Samsung Galaxy Note H8000 tablet may be forever disappointed in the brand. What to do to avoid falling for the tricks of scammers?
The level and quality of performance of fakes is constantly being improved. The first versions of fakes are so rough that even an inexperienced buyer can determine this. All of the tips below are general and will certainly help to identify a fake. But do not forget that you may have a fake tablet in your hands. highest quality, and more attention to detail and characteristics will be required to determine its authenticity.
The photo below is an example of an original tablet and a fake. In our case, it is very easy to identify a fake, even by appearance. The size of the tablet does not correspond to reality, the Samsung logo is smaller. The display diagonal of the counterfeit tablet is about 9 inches. At the same time, the diagonal of the original Samsung tablet is 10.1 inches.
The fake that ended up in our hands is radically different from the original in the location of ports and connectors. This is clearly visible in the photo below. Any comments here are redundant.
The charger of a real Samsung tablet has a Micro-USB connector. Our fake is equipped with a connector of unknown origin, and this is clearly seen in the photo of the plug from charger. When you try to buy such a charger in a store, you will fail, which once again confirms the fakeness of the tablet as a whole.
The back panel of SamsungGalaxyNoteN8000 branded tablet with a diagonal of 10.1 inches is smooth. In our fake, it is stylized as cheap leather. Here we see the shift of the camera lens to the corner, while on the original tablet it is located in the center.
After turning on the fake planet, it will allow you to calculate the low quality of the matrix and color reproduction, including pixels on cheap copies. The display resolution of the original Samsung Galaxy Note tablet is 1280x800 pixels, while the fake one has only 800x480.
The fake tablet runs on the cheapest Chinese Allwinner processor. For example, the most expensive processor of this company costs no more than $4. It is not difficult to guess what quality our processor has. The original tablet uses Exynos 4412 processors.
The camera is another weak point of any fake. In our case, the tablet manufacturer installed a 0.3 megapixel camera in their “work of art”.
Also, a fake can be identified by a small amount of internal memory, the appearance of icons, desktop, installed applications and little things like that.
Hard reset did not help (factory reset), I first encountered such a problem, so the first solution was to seek help from experts. I took him to a miracle workshop, where he lay for almost half a year .. They could not find the firmware in any way .. My patience came to an end, I took it. On the way home I brought another olnim pro. during the day they promised to do it. In the evening to come to pick up - it turns out they did not ask. The answer is the same - they can not pick up the firmware. They returned it in the same condition as I gave it to them.
Well, well, it wasn’t, I thought and decided to make my contribution to the repair of this unit, it won’t be worse. After rummaging through the forums at home, reading how and with what such devices are sewn, I realized that the most important thing is to guess the firmware version. There were a lot of firmware options for similar Samsung Galaxy Nout fakes on the network. Well, I started downloading and trying them.
The most popular firmware for this device on the network turned out to be this one: MaPan_MX913_DC_Jelly_Bean_4.1os_Root_Firmware_D20130601_UP And MaPan_MX913_DC_Jelly_Bean_4.2_Os_Root_Firmware_J20131101, but they completely lacked touchscreen support. That is, everything is beautiful, albeit Chinese, but you don’t move your finger across the screen, you can only control the tablet from the keyboard, which turned out to be very inconvenient. I started looking for other options. On the site w3bsit3-dns.com and other similar sites, I found a lot of useful. And having tried 100500 Firmware, and did not find one that would work with the tablet normally. Some worked with a touchscreen, but it had a dead zone with a centimeter from below, others had a calibration of pressing the screen, that is, they had to poke a centimeter lower, others did not have a motion sensor or an accelerator, some were in Mexican or completely on Arabic languages and so on. In general, I was tired of looking for a pig in a poke and I remembered that when I was disassembling this tablet, I took several pictures of its insides, and decided to look at the markings on them. The fact that there was a miracle processor
All Winner A13 I remembered, and it didn’t give me anything, but what else were there for the inscriptions ... After reviewing the pictures, I found this cherished inscription on one of the boards of the unnamed tablet: "For-Fun Q3 Main v1.4".
Well, now there was at least some clue. Going to the software repository on mail ru through the same wonderful site w3bsit3-dns.com, I found several firmware for "For-Fun Q3 Main v1.4". Well, the matter remained small. Having downloaded the one that weighed more, 624 meters, I poured it into my tablet, impatiently waited for it to reboot, and was upset, the tablet hung on the same inscription "android", on the second attempt I was lucky, downloading this "ZET6223WTAROM" weighing into it in 446 megabytes, firmware, I got 100% result! The tablet worked. Everything, absolutely everything worked as it should. Download speed, screen, touchscreen and wifi - everything worked perfectly. I didn’t even imagine how it’s possible to fill in this China with a lot of cool applications! The firmware turned out to be assembled on androil 4.0.4, which also pleased me, that is, more or less fresh.
Well, now in order, how and with what I did it all.
What we need: a computer with operating system Widows XP or Windows 7 32 bit, Phoenix suit program, cable for connecting the tablet, firmware and the tablet itself.
First you need to do preliminary training- configuring the tablet driver, both included and in firmware mode.
To do this, we do the following:
1) put on the computer Phoenix program suit (download)
2) We connect the included tablet, we hear the sound of the connected device, we see the ANDROID device in the equipment
click on it right click We shki, choose - Update driver
In the next window, select what is shown in the figure below
click on what is shown below: 
click next: 
then "Install from disk":
then click on "Browse" button and specify the path to the folder with the installed program Phoenix Suit\Drivers\AW_Driver
And click "OPEN", select usbdrv from the AW_Driver folder, click on "Open" again
and then to "OK"
The following window will appear with the driver to be installed, without paying attention to the warning that it does not have digital signature click "NEXT"
equipment will be installed and a message that everything is ready.
All the same actions must be performed with the tablet in UPDATE mode (this is when it is turned off, hold down the "Volume +" button, hold it and connect it through the cord to the PC, the red indicator lights up on the tablet, but the screen does not light up. The device will be defined as unknown , follow the same steps as above). Otherwise, the Phoenix Suit program will not see the tablet and will not be able to flash it.
We launch it, and do not forget to make sure that no errors occurred during the installation process, the goodle driver was installed
2) download this firmware (download) or another.
Now the actual firmware:
We launch the Phoenix suit program, click on the "anchor" icon, select the firmware, connect the cord to the computer via USB, then on the OFF tablet, hold down the "Volume +" button, hold it, connect the cord to the tablet and quickly press (without releasing the "Volume +" button "Back" button, the firmware will start automatically after the device is detected.
