So, from my own experience so far it appears that Odin 3.x does not work in Windows 8. The app will lock up the entire operating system while flashing.
Is anyone else having this experience?
I haven't tried odin, but MTP locks up the OS when I try to rename a file/folder or drag something into a different folder.

I have no problems with it. Also to the one bashing win8, do you have a basis for that? What is actually bad about it?

Its a mobile os forced onto a pc. Ive used every os ms has made and this one just makes me go wtf? If you need more there are tons of reviews you can read to fill in the gaps
I personally love windows 8 and I think Microsoft did a great job with it.
Doesn't beat my Mac though.

To be honest, I posted this to be a heads up, not a Windows 8 bashing. I have tried it on two different Windows 8 computers so far and same results (frozen OS).

Try right clicking on Odin, then properties, then run as Windows 7 and might work

No problems over here running Odin on Windows 8.

Good lord. Everyone knows that there are plenty of people (especially on internet forums) that are afraid of change, and the departure from former Windows releases scares them. If you don't like it, cool. Don't upgrade. Stop trying to convince the world not to use it. Not liking Windows 8 is a matter of opinion, not fact. I'm really disappointed that so many people cant just let it go. Stop hijacking other peoples honest attempts to solicit help to bash the product, please.

Use original Samsung USB cable to run Odin on Windows 8 and it will work!

I have a Surface2 RT and whenever I try to download apps on the market then just hang under pending. Any idea why this is happening?
Same here. Internet works flawlessly...

Now it just randomly works for me. Sometimes the downloads will fly other time it will take ages. I think I should have just saved for the pro :/ ah well

Ouch Microsoft needs to make a ton of changes if they want to become a serious contender in mobileOS. The only thing that pushed me to buy the surface over a Galaxy Note 10.1 (2013) is Microsoft Office since I'm a student.

Well in my case its network related. My download speed rarely (if ever) peaks above 200kb/s and the ping times to the microsoft store are terrible, it seems to be incredibly sensitive to connection timeouts.

Ouch. That's not my case though and still sometimes the store will move at a snails pace meanwhile everything else I do is blazing fast.
You guys tried googling it? I found an answer somewhere involving troubleshooting the Windows Update service and clearing store cache.

I cant make sense to this.. me and my girlfriend both have the same device M8 - rooted & S-OFF same firmware and radios and ROM but for some reason.. her facebook app version is 8.0.0.26.24 and its from the market and mine is version 7.0.0.26.24 directly from the market...can someone explain why this is?
Some folks are getting an option to update the app directly through Facebook and not the app store. I would uninstall the 8.0 version as it is not official or known to be legit.

My Facebook keeps randomly updating even tho I have auto update turned off for all apps. But Thai one still updates. And I think that when it does update its an 8.0 version. Whatever version it is the whole ui changes and I hate it. How can I make the version I like stick? Think every time I reboot it updates, and don't think it's they the play store either that it's getting the update? I don't get any notification of it when it does, it's just there when I open Facebook again.
You sure one of you didn't join the beta program?
Also, this should go in Q and A

I've been on beta for about a year now, still notified of updates when they are ready. This gives me no notification of update, just updates on it's own even tho it's not enabled. Frustrating.

What's more strange is that my version stays the same after updating, Even tho it looks totally different 8.0.0.3.24
I never use my FB, only rarely to check a photo or 2 that gets put up of me. Popped on sometime last week to notice an entirely new app layout. No update from Play, no update notification from FB app. Girlfriend, same phone, users FB all day still has old one. Kinda pissed, because the few times i did look at my feed, i wanted it sorted by time, not this 'most popular' BS, and can't find an option in the new app for it.

Scroll to the right of the screen and click the three line (more) button. ON the more screen scroll down to feeds and select: most recent.

Beta or not, shouldn't update if auto update isn't selected. This is the only time it's done it. It's extremely annoying cause I HATE the new ui but can't make an older version stick no matter what I do. And just discovered it updates regardless of reboot or not.

Well look at it this way, you will eventually be forced to use it, so just get used to it and they will change it again in 3 months anyways :/
One of you either signed up for the Alpha or Beta version at some point. It will carry from device to device.

I'm on beta, my daughter isn't but hers also keeps updating on her kindle.
8.0.0.3.24 this is the latest version.
I'm not on the beta. Mine auto updated when I got home not realizing my WiFi was on. Deleted and restored the old version with titanium backup. The new app is horrible. I don't care what people posted 2 weeks ago....

8.0.15.24 is the last version before the new ui. Here is the link.

There's no reason why you shouldn't update. Eventually it will update on it's own, and this is probably nothing major.
Rumors it helps battery, but ya know, placebo.

Updated last night. Today, using iheartradio, rebooted 3 times today. App worked great on 6.01 on Nexus 6. Cleared cache, reinstalled app. No good. Trying other radio apps. If it is just iheart, I don't care.
Overall, smooth. But one MM feature missing are the feature updates that 6.01 brought to my Nexus. On the Nexus Do Not Disturb became event controlled, but it is missing from my Note.
Installed the update last night with no problems. One thing missing is the ability to pin a contact to the homescreen which I use a lot. Found an app called SpeedDial that does the same thing.

What settings are you using to get LTE? I'm using Cricket and I've been trying to figure out how to get LTE working since I unlocked the phone a few days ago.
