What did you try/not try? Did you edit your build.prop in root explorer then save it, reboot, download the app after editing and rebooting?

There is no email announcement. You may have missed the notification in app. Have you checked your Box.net account online from a browser? If you have followed the instructions you should see the storage available as 50GB+
[Xoom General] newskate9:
Wow, you got me on that one! Well played, sir.

I think the question is valid because........ many times folks talk about free tethering. And many say, that's stealing. In this case, one is obtaining free storage, and its associated band width, for free; under false pretenses.

So while you might not understand the post, I'm sure others might. I thought it worth asking. Feel free to ignore.

Lastly - instead of attacking me, perhaps offering your thought-provoking perspective might have been a bit more helpful. Just saying.......
[Xoom General] GulMiguel:
I ran into the same problem. I download box after making the appropriate changes and rebooting. then I opened the app and saw only 5.0 GB. I had to submit a trouble ticket since even on the webpage, there was NO indication of being 50GB - only 5GB.
[Xoom General] wes_s:
I just tried it on my old Dinc with CM7 and another email address. It's still working. I don't know why it's not working for you. The build prop is probably case sensitive and I've found mine in /system.
[Xoom General] Simonetti2011:
Thanks!!! Great!

I'd like to add that this worked for an existing account, even if BOX has been previously installed in the device being used for the hack.

Just uninstall BOX, change the file, reboot, reinstall and login with your existing account (or register a new one). Like other users have been saying, a dialog will popup telling you your acct has been upgraded to 50Gb.

Is there any Android client that does automatic syncing and multiple uploads?

Thanks

Not working for me, can those who got it working give more build prop detail? I'm on 3.1, UK zoom 3g.

Edit: My bad, I edited brand (directly below model), instead of Manufacturer, further down. Worked straight away soon as I fixed it.

Works fine on my xoom but unfortunately can't upload big files like Roms

Thanks man

[Xoom General] thunderstruck!:
WTF, maybe I'm doing something wrong. Can someone who got it to work post their entire build.prop so I can copy and paste the whole thing in? Maybe I'm fat fingering it, but I tried a few times and can't get it to work-stuck at 5 Gb.

Do I need to root my xoom to edit build.prop ?
[Xoom General] wes_s:
yes. root is needed because the build.prop is in the /system directory.
[Xoom General] LaloHigh:
This worked for me without root some time ago but it might still work.

Once you set up your account install this apk

http://www.mediafire.com/?6uzjl6hjtxtindl

Put in your account info and then hit the free 50g tab below it.

Then I checked and my 50g were there on my account. After that I

Changed the password on my account just to be safe.

I did this via my xoom fe by the way.

Good luck and let use know if this still works.

I was using the red-phx apk to upgrade box so I wouldn;t have to switch build.prop files, but had a feeling it would stop working on the 1st of January. Tested today and it doesn't work, so thank you for the post!

According to the box site, this should continue to work until September.

* The offer is valid from through 9/30/14.

[HTC Titan] link68759:
Just got mine today, though I've been using WP7 on my HD2 lately.

I'm sure I'll get used to the buttons, I have had trouble finding the volume keys but I like where they are, at the thumb. The power button was awkward, but in less than a few hours I'm used to it. My hands are small, and I have accidentally activated the search button with my thumb joint while reaching across with my thumb. Already dropped it in the car :/, minor fall, no scrapes or scuffs anywhere.

My only issues so far have been software; I have the zune music pass, I used the dj function and handed it to my sister. It would play 40 seconds of each song before going to the next one. Works fine after a reboot. Then, when using Maps/GPS navigation, it wouldn't advance to the next step automatically; I had to manually push each step... though I might not be using it right. I did press 'start' but it refused to automatically advance as I reached each turn.

I know it's not Super Amoled, but side by side with my HD2 and wow, it's like I've never seen colors before! Blacks are pleasantly black, and I don't have a samsung phone on hand to compare it to, but to my memory this is nearly as good as my friend's samsung captivate.

I agree that even the lowest volume setting is too loud, though I haven't changed my SRS settings yet, as I have had no lag, ever, yet. Internet is fine, no issues here in both wifi and 4G. I hope that the rumors of the focus s having faster speeds are false...

Speaking of 4G, is it actually 4G or did they rebrand H as 4G? I think it is faster, but then again the titan could just have better throughput than the HD2 or my Pure.

I wanted to test out the focus s and titan in store before buying, but I got tired of reading online and being swayed for one or the other with everything I've read... and then the penny sale happened, so I went with my gut and just got the titan. HTC does a better job on build quality than samsung, and afaik the only benefit of a samsung (in practical terms) is the superior screens they craft with magic and rainbows. eh, I have my samsung tv, that's enough. I hope the titan's battery is as good as I've read...

Last; what's with chevron labs 'out of tickets'? Come on! My thought process as I saw this: 'I would have paid $9, but I'm not patient enough to wait microsoft! *tries to send dev unlock cab, fails* :( guess I have to wait'. there isn't a way to unlock it otherwise, is there?
[HTC Titan] Strike_Eagle:
I am assuming that H is HSPDA+ because Titan does display 3G icon sometime before i pop back to H.

People are complaining that AT&T limit their Titan Bandwidth/ Titan Hardware problem/
[HTC Titan] naplesbill:
I must be the user this phone was designed for. I have not had any issues with one-handed operation, including being able to use the power button. I also don't have any issue with the camera or volume rocker buttons. I can easily type one-handed.

I was very apprehensive about the size of the screen. Now that I have used it for a week, I absolutely love it. I can see what people are calling ghosting, but I really don't think that is an adequate description. Ghosting is more about casting shadows. In the case of this device, it often appears that text is blurring when scrolling. This is something that is easily ignored in my case.

I have not noticed any lag or sound issues or random freezes. As far as screen sensitivity, I find it just about right for me. I also like the smaller capacitive buttons as I do not seem to have issues with hitting them by accident. This has been an issue with every smartphone I have owned with capacitive buttons. I am very happy that this phone is not exhibiting this issue.

I guess, like everything else in life, it is all relative. My hands are apparently large enough to handle this phone without feeling strained. I also get plenty of tactile feedback for my needs. I also LOVE the led. I don't understand why so many devices leave this out of the design.
[HTC Titan] nycny:
Returning my ATT HTC Titan Today

Having read the above posts and others, also considering my previous experience with inconsistancies with HTC devices in the past, I am, regrettably, returning my beautiful HTC Titan to the store today.

Inconsistant out bound voice quality (ATT rep couldn't hear me cancelling my order). Fail

Throttling of 4G to below 14Mbs (was actually able to acheive almost 6Mbs in a rural part of Georgia, barely over 1.5 Mbs in metro Atlanta). Fail

Lack of storage. (thought I could live with this, can't!). Fail

Maybe I'll try the Focus S, any ideas?
[HTC Titan] link68759:
Focus S doesn't have expandable storage either, though. If you're not in a rush, maybe wait for the nokia line of phones comes out? They have some with LTE in the works.

Back to ghosting: I think naplesbill is right, the people who are claiming to have 'ghosting' are using that term incorrectly. If anything, what we have here is a slightly delayed pixel response in the screen, or perhaps the rendering isn't quite smooth on the software side.

Here is an extreme case of ghosting: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0esjdQ4RSuo
[HTC Titan] gcianc:
Titan battery life is much, much improved over my original Focus on Mango.

everything else about this phone is sooooo much improved over the Focus (a great phone too mind you) it cannot be explained. The OP's detailed info is useful but OCD-like and pretty worthless in regard to choosing a phone.

huge improvements include less accidental clicks with back/serach as well as general feel. The phone is large enough to use and hold properly and no "slipped out of my hand".

Get one.
[HTC Titan] Strike_Eagle:
If you use the headphone to make the call, i am afraid that it has the bug that the phone will have broken noise through out the headphone and it may not even let you call anyone . I experienced that bug myself, that when i plugged in the headphone, it turn out to unable to call anyone or, even receiving a call.
[HTC Titan] drokkon:
Ha! Even though I'm right-handed, I ALWAYS use phones with my left for whatever reason. It never occurred to me that the Samsung had it backwards and the Titan is better. Maybe it's time to change a long-standing habit!

Me too. If confirmed, I'll definitely add it to my gripe list. However, WPCentral is reporting that it is false.
[HTC Titan] nycny:
No headset, just holding the phone normally. I never have a problem hearing. Several people said they couldn't hear me clearly or at all. And then I have had long conversations clearly. Seems if I move the phone ever so slightly toward or away from my chin the outgoing voice quality varies dramatically.
[HTC Titan] prjkthack:
Those of you having issues with battery life, you probably should give your phone some time to get adjusted to its battery or if its been a while already, get a new one.

This phone is lasting so much longer than any other smartphone I've owned. I used to have to watch the battery meter throughout the day, but with the Titan, I no longer have to worry. I can easily get through a full day with moderate to heavy use and still have about 50% - 40% batter remaining depending on use at the end of the day. Its absolutely amazing.

This is with Facebook and Twitter syncing, with Hotmail and Gmail set to 'as items arrive', and with about 3 or 4 tiles/background tasks running throughout the day, on top of my regular use of the phone (checking Twitter, reading news feeds, reading e-mails, browsing the web, using Bing search, playing games, texting, etc.).

Of course I'm sure there are other minor variables involved that make differences for all of us, but this phone has had the best battery life of any smartphone I've owned, period.

Also, not having any of the other issues most other people are reporting. The buttons feel great to me, especially the camera button. I found the volume buttons on my HD7/S were too easy to press, so I was always changing volume, the Titan has a much better built volume rocker. The power button could protrude a bit more, but its still MUCH better than the HD7's power button.
[HTC Titan] willp2:
I’m a few days in on mine, upgrading from the Focus and am a bit mixed. I love the size. Was worried about it being too big, but not at all its great.

But beyond that it’s a mixed bag. First and most disappointing is the screen, its big, but I like the way it looks much less than the Focus screen. It seems washed out or muddy looking and the blacks aren’t as dark. I think that really this is just saying that the focus screen is really very good.

Next is the responsiveness. When sliding my finger up and down on the home screen or anywhere else, there is a sponginess when starting to move or changing directions that’s odd to me. This may be there in the focus but is exaggerated in the Titan because of the larger size screen at the same res.

Like others I think the buttons are too hard to press. After a few days I still have to work at it more than I’d like.

And finally I wonder about durability and how this thing will hold up over time. I can’t tell you how much abuse my Focus went through and came through hardly phased. Once I dropped it off the top of a 6’ ladder on to concrete and another time it fell out of my truck and got kicked across concrete several feet among other abuse and the thing still looks virtually new. First day with the Titan and it got knocked off a table onto a concrete floor and the back and camera lens is completely scratched up. So day one this thing looks worse than my year old Focus.

Don’t get me wrong I do like it, I just don’t love it..yet. I think if I was coming from any other device I’d probably be raving about it.
[HTC Titan] drokkon:
(deleted - all gripes and grins now updated in first post)
[HTC Titan] drokkon:
Funny you should say this, as three or four times now I've panicked because I've felt my wedding ring scrape against the back panel. I turn it over, and it's just fine. However, this didn't happen to me at all with my Focus. It's like this device is stronger and tougher than my Focus, but strangely more delicate to minor damage, so I'm babying it.

My Focus also always looked new—it was amazing! It even looked new after I put it through the laundry and killed it…

You took the words right out of my mouth!
[HTC Titan] link68759:
Try getting the invisible shield full body; I haven't installed mine yet, but I put it on everything I own. I expect it to make the phone easier to grip, too.

As for the screen vs the focus.... samsung screens are always better. No one should be surprised here...
[HTC Titan] MaziarAmiri:
I first thought the same but after watching this,i changed my mind

http://www.wpcentral.com/screen-comparison-samsung-focus-s-and-htc-titan

Titan seems to produce more natural colors;whereas, focus s has blacker blacks. also focus s has a blue tint on it(at least according to this vid)
[HTC Titan] drokkon:
This video definitely played into my decision too. When I visited AT&T on the days leading up to my purchase, I checked out the Focus S and confirmed the blue tint. Unfortunately, they didn't have a Titan on-hand for me to take a look at. Since, that was really the last in a long list of little things pointing away from the Focus S and toward the Titan, I took the plunge and ordered the Titan sight-unseen on "Black Saturday."

It wasn't until I had the Titan side-by-side with my wife's Focus that I could really tell how less saturated the Titan's screen was, and I wrote in my first post:

I guess that's what others are calling more "natural" color. It's true, I do like it just as much as my old oversaturated Focus, and possibly a bit more!
[HTC Titan] mvadu:
one happy user

first time WP user.. and so far enjoying it..

only gripe I have is with speakerphone.. its way too weak compared to its regular speaker (one used for Music and ringer). Regular speaker goes up to 30, while speakerphone goes up tp 10, and even at 10 its very quiet. I also feel needing more volume for regular hands on calls as well.
[HTC Titan] Illicit Hero:
Titan battery life is great, I am a heavy user through out the day.(Office job, a ton of down time.) My SGS2 ate threw battery like nothing(atleast 1-2 charges a work day) this thing I can get a full day with out a charge.
[HTC Titan] drleospaceman:
The ghosting is due to the VA panel used in an SLCD. Basically you are trading pixel response time for lower black levels and better viewing angles, compared to a standard TN panel. The slowest pixel transitions are black to white, so you'll see the most ghosting with black backgrounds. Grey to grey on the other hand is the fastest, with everything else in the middle.

"Some are saying the text "blurs," but I'm definitely thinking this is genuinely ghosting, as I'm seeing a white "trail" behind my text as I scroll."

The OS is most definitely not causing the blurring.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mitch8892:
I am planning on getting the Galaxy Nexus when it is released for Verizon and have a question about how updating the device works if you are rooted. If you are rooted and Google releases an update, do you receive a notification as if you are unrooted? Also, can you apply the update? If so, do you have to root again after the update is complete? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Love_Velvet:
you still get the notification, but you would have to root again after the update.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mohitrocks:
You can always root and flash back to a stock kernel after (not sure how this works, seen the kernel in the galaxy nexus android development section)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mitch8892:
What do you mean about a kernel? If the kernel is updated OTA i'd imagine it would be better than the stock one.

If I go the route of flashing CWM recovery, how can I apply OTAs?
[General Questions and Answers] damonib:
OK, so I just got my new Skyrocket and I am trying to get all the apps on there that I had on my old Captivate. I have 2 apps that I refuse to update because the developer has compleatly screwed up the flow of the app. The problem is, I don't know how to put the old version on my new phone, all I know how to do is either download the latest version or root my phone and TiBu the one off my old phone onto the new one. Problem is, I would really like to NOT root my new phone this time.

Any suggestions?

****edit****

figured it out, just used root explorer on my old phone, pulled the APK onto SD card and installed it onto the new phone off the SD card. Easy as pie.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] wynand32:
So, anybody else have a chance to hold two E4GT's side by side? My wife and I are both trialing units, and mine has a much more pronounced bluish tint. I remember reading something about variability with Super AMOLED Plus screens, but the significance of the difference surprised me.

It's not that either one is so much better or worse, but they sure are different...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Moose8106:
Settings>Display>Screen Mode. One of you could have messed with that setting. There are three basic settings that change the picture settings on the phone. Dynamic, Standard, and Movie.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] djjosh:
I remember reading from someone who calibrates screen colors who tested this phone.

When new, screen has green tint as it ages it gets blue tint , movie setting has the most neutral colors.

My screen has green tint you only notice it when comparing another phone LCD or with HDMI on your tv

Edit I forgot I noticed my pictures have a green tint but that problem bad white balance ,compare a picture or the same screen with another good phone et4g has green tint in pictures too

Actually yes. My buddy has one too. Our screen settings are the same. Set with the same settings, and same wallpaper, his blacks are deeper and more defined and colors much robust. Both screens set to standard under display type
