Hello users.

Before I bought the s3 I had the HTC one s. Now I had always used dropbox before this and only a few gigs. I never found any REAL use for it. When I purchased the one S I was given 20gb of space I thought I would have a no problem with space. I only found use for it for the auto cam-upload because I would just delete pics and vids on my phones storage. On the s3 I was given an extra 50gb of space so I have a whopping total of 75gb now with only like 6gb worth of pics in there.

My question is how do you guys use dropbox? I share files and stuff with a friend but I feel like dropbox is just good for this: Pics/vids/file-sharing.

I figured now I can save maybe my nandroid backups and not worry about even having them in my pc. Is this a good idea?

Note: I have about 6-7 gb of internal space and about 6-7gb left on my sd. I don't want to exceed that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jgalan14:
I have the same (btw one s gave you 23gb free and Samsung galaxy s 3 50gb and is only good for two years)

I use it for backups specially for titanium backups, but unless you have tons of videos or rims to upload you probably won't use it much, but still great cloud backup
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jdpdata:
I upload my nightly builds of CM10 fir my Nook Color to my dropbox. In addition to auto pic upload, it's filling up fast. Wish I can get free for life.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Lieu10ant:
none of you use the google+ auto-upload feature?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elracing21:
I also use this. But as I don't trust google+ and dont use it often. I also use the auto camera upload on dropbox.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 24dupo24:
I use it to store .apk files, wallpaper, pc files that my non-geek friends will need at some point... havent used much space but its easy to use for installing .apk files that i download here and there.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mrtoolate1031:
For me sometimes when I flash a Rom the drivers for my device may now work.. drop box is a great way to not only transfer music pics .apk files etc.. but when I was stuck... I was actually able to put a new Rom on my root via drop box... but I'm still waiting for my 50 gigs!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] babymatteo:
I use mine to share pics and vids of my babyboy to my parents.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Joe-retired:
I have 3 uses no one mentioned, they are all related to security:

1. I have an encrypted KeePass database of all the passwords and user names stored in dropbox.

2. I have a Truecrypt container inside dropbox for storage of confidential information.

3. I have my home security cameras record their pictures into dropbox so even if the security cameras and drive is destroyed I still have a backup. This also lets me check the cameras from my phone.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] SkeptiK21:
How can I get the 50 gigs out space on drop box through my S3? I haven't seen anything prompting me to accept the increased disk space on there.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] elracing21:
All I did was sign in with my email and I got an email telling my I have been given 50gb of space.

Dropbox space fix

For all of those having issues with getting your extra 48GB from Samsung for purchasing the S3 ... keep reading!!!

First of all. You must launch Dropbox from the stock pre-installed Samsung rom.

If you flashed a custom rom(like I did) and installed Dropbox from GooglePlay you will not get the bonus.

So what I did is flashed my Nandroid backup I had(which everybody should have) then launched the pre-installed Dropbox app and signed in with my pre-existing Dropbox account.. and right away got the email confirming my extra space.

You also have to complete 5 of the 7 tasks indicated on the main page in order to receive the Samsung bonus. The steps needed to complete that should be on the Dropbox site.

Hope this will help somebody out there :)

Cheer!

I was wondering if it's possible to put the default xperia desk clock app as a screensaver, some Nokia phones have this option, so I think there must be a way to set this as a screensaver, when the phone goes to sleep? Then when it wakes up show the clock before unlocking it? (if locking is enabled, of course) ??
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] mdfzhi:
What for? Isnt locksreen already had big clock just like that?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ayaznoor:
lockscreen needs to be activated, by pressing power or home button. screensaver is always on.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] rolo143:
Yes, but I think it looks nicer....
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Android phones have no screensaver, the display is turned off completely in order to save power because touch screens are quite juice-hungry.

My usb port stopped working, and I'm currently on stock ICS. Is it possible to root without a USB connection? There's a method for international GSIIs: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1501719, but there's no indication that this works with the I777 stock ICS firmware, and since I can't use Odin in Download mode, I'm somewhat wary about trying anything experimental.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] willbs94:
Um...probably not a good idea. Have you tried a different cable?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] clay101eve:
Your USB port on your comp/laptop? Or the MicroUSB port on your phone?

Have you tried another port? A different cable?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] fakhri:
You can. Copy through bluetooth file CWM.zip to external sdcard and CWM_Root_SuperSU_0.93_Busybox_1.20.1_1_.zip to internal sdcard. Go in to stock recovery and choose update from external sdcard and tap to cwm.zip. You will have onetime CWM. Go to install zip and install CWM_Root_SuperSU_0.93_Busybox_1.20.1_1_.zip.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
....what?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] snipe2nite:
Are you saying your USB port on your phone or your computer? If it's your phone USB how are you able to charge it? How did you get stock ICS on your phone? You might want to look at a driver issue on your comp if that's the situation? Does not sound like your phone USB port to me....

Harrassing phone support won't help. I used to do that sort of thing and you're just going to piss people off. CSRs only have limited information that they're given or can look up. Most of the time, they really don't know.

You're probably just pissing people off. We just have to wait, and hope that LGCanada isn't the standard now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mobprince:
I am going to Israel and need a app that can provide me with a International number (obviously using the web -- sorta like google voice but i need to accept phone calls also and the whole thing needs to be thru the web as any calls i make would be considered roaming ) obviously I'd like something that is cheap and would also allow for txt messages.

I dont know why it would matter but I have a verizon plan. I'll be using WIFI mostly but will be purchasing the 100 mb international plan

Thank You
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] worldpants:
Shalom man u should go into any cellstore there buy a unlimited orange gsm card for internet then get skype international and ur in business mamish like 25 the whole thing unlimit u can't go wrong..good luck dude lshana habo biyrshlyim.

galaxy nexus - in israel

so what would you recommend to get the galaxy nexus to work in israel?

or should i just rent another cell phone?

and if so, go with one of the many places that rent phones (amigo?) or rent one at a store once there?

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mendezj666:
I would just buy a cheap unlocked gsm phone here in the states and buy a sim card once I get to my destination. I would imagine international roaming is quite pricey, both for data and voice, and its cheaper and less complex to just switch to a gsm phone for the duration of the stay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kingsfan33:
any recommendation for a place to pickup a sim in israel?

thx
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -Psycho-:
Honestly, the Minister of Communications really shook up the market here, and now there are like 5 new cell companies, and all are offering unlimited Calls, SMS and data (3GB) for 99 NIS a month (~$25) and the Sim cards usually cost a one-time fee of 40 NIS, no contracts, you can disconnect any time you want without fees by law here.

I just moved over to Golan Telecom, which are great, but you can only receive a sim card by ordering one off the Internet, and it takes about 4 days to arrive.

If you don't want to, or can't, go with Rami Levy (yup, the supermarket chain). I was very happy with them before I moved to golan telecom, and they now also offer an unlimited plan, with 1GB data plan, for 88 NIS a month, and the sim card costs the same, but you can pick it up in-store.

And as far as bringing the Gnex here, I'm pretty sure you can't use a CDMA phone here yet... I'll post the frequencies doc here when I find it and you can figure out if your phone will work here and on what provider.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kingsfan33:
Thx a lot, lots of useful info...

If i google israel sim card there is so much out there

Can you recommend a site to get the sim youre referring to?

Thx again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -Psycho-:
Sure, here it is - Golan Telecom

Oh, btw, forgot to mention, Golan Telecom also offers free international calls to 30 something countries (landlines), and to the USA and Canada for free also to cell phones (and the International numbers that aren't for free are for a ridiculously low price, you can look around at the site.

In any case other companies offer very similar deals as well, with free international calls, I can just tell you from my experience that it's pretty hassle free and the costumer service is good (in comparison to other companies where I've waited for over an hour on the phone, they usually answer right away, 3 mins tops).

No matter what company you choose, if you encounter trouble with the internet connection, some companies (like mine) require you set up the APNs manually. Highly recommend APN Israel app, just one click and your set.

Finally, as promised, here's the frequency list: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AtSH6N4JBcwrdGdEaXRwaU0zczRnS1dOTW1EQTNsZGc

Good luck!

PS. I am not an employee of Golan Telecom or anything of the sort, just a really happy customer. I can just as well recommend Rami Levy, and Orange, all of which I was happy with, but for my own needs Golan Telecom was best for me :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mendezj666:
Psycho has a lot of useful information in his post and you have a few options. Anytime I travel internationally, I buy a sim card on ebay and get it sent to me from the US. Then, depending if they allow it, activate it here in the US or wait until I arrive in the country Im going to. I always buy prepaid and most sim cards already have credit on them. This way will be more expensive than if you were to just buy the sim card when you are in the country you are visiting but I have found it worth the extra cost. Once activated in the US, I will already have my international number for my family/friends to call me and just give them that number before I leave. Its all a matter of preference and convenience so just have to find out what works for you. GL and wish I could provide more info specific to Israel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kingsfan33:
I was told that unless you have an Israeli ID/passport that you cannot just go into any super market and buy a sim card.

Of course the person telling me this was a company similar to talknsave that wants $7 a day per phone + $1 for US #. (for 2 phones it really adds up).

I am leaving this Sunday 9/23, so any help asap would be appreciated.

Thanks!

p.s. I did get the Galaxy Nexus International gsm version that is unlocked for this trip.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] -Psycho-:
Just talked to my companies customer service, and you're right. I wasn't aware of that. You do need an Israeli ID number and address.

After discussing it with the rep, if you have someone in Israel who you can purchase the card just under his name and address, then you're good to go.

You won't be able to (at least with Golan Telecom, I'm assuming it's the same with all the companies) freeze the account completely for future use, but rather lower the bill to the basic 10 NIS (~$2.5) a month plan. But unless you're really traveling every couple of months you're better off just canceling the account and buying a new sim card next time you come for 40 NIS...

Which one do you like better?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danipoak:
Honestly I think they both suck but if I had to choose between those two it would be Apollo. Google music caches random things I never asked it to and doesn't cache what I want it to. I use doubletwist.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkierawr:
BOTH

At the same time!!!!!!!!
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astonat:
I think PlayerPro is the best music app, I even payed for it. Pure White theme is amazing :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeffreyjicha:
I prefer Apollo, but I have both just in case I want to play music from the cloud.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
That's not what was asked... apollo or google play or gtfo... I don't like either, but apollo sucks way less than google play music.....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Breezy357:
Google play music, just because of the cloud (only on wifi, not 3g) and the default settings are perfect for car audio. I've played with the Apollo just couldn't find anything that makes it stand out from the abundance of music players on the market.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astonat:
Apollo is garbage, I was just giving another suggestion because they are obviously not the only music apps. Gtfo? Ok
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xbzz:
I use Apollo with the Black theme. I can't say I love it, but it plays music and has the "Hold volume UP to skip" feature... which is really all I need (I use Shuffle All while jogging and it's nice being able to skip a song I dont want to hear without needing to even look at my phone). Last time I checked the Volume UP skip didn't work with Play Music.

I do wish Apollo would get an update with more features, neater UI, and do better with album art.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flastnoles11:
And that would make sense if he asked for music players other than google now and apollo.... but he didn't so ur point is invalid....
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astonat:
Ok fine :(
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KyosukeX79:
I use Apollo, not because I like it but because I don't feel like downloading any other player.

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fdarkness:
I prefer neither. I use rocket player. Organizes music and podcasts better than anything I've used so far.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Breezy357:
As long a Google music keeps the cloud service, it can't suck. Besides being able to customize the equalizer, organize music, and how it looks what more could you want out of the millions of music apps?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macb1997:
They both suck. Poweramp is the best music player. Period.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warus1:
I used the Amazon mp3 could app, and but since they limited it to 250 songs I think I'll switch to Google music.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danipoak:
If it's only used for cloud then it's ok. I live out west so when I leave urban areas service its spotty so I have to have music on the phone as well. Google music doesn't cache what I tell it to. It just caches random things so because of that I say it sucks.

Power amp could be good. It has a lot of features but the interface sucks.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] InfDaMarvel:
you save music for offline mode before you leave the house. Google Music because of the free cloud service.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danipoak:
Of course. But it doesn't save what I tell it to. It saves random songs.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smokeboy67:
I also believe PlayerPro is the best music player on Android.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Breezy357:
"Free" cloud service, good point. With that alone, it definitely doesn't suck. It's free for crying out loud!

It's funny how people say they don't lie it because of how it looks. Are you getting a music app to listen to music or look at the screen?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Look at this little keyboard warrior. Play nice.

Anyway, Imma have to go with Apollo. Google Music is way too buggy & slow. The whole "unknown album" thing where you select an unknown album from one artist & all artists' unknowns come out, just drives me away from it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danipoak:
But you want to be able to navigate all your music files and podcasts efficiently. And when I'm driving I want big on screen buttons that I can hit without looking at the phone.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rqaz:
andless,

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrGameW1nner:
Apollo because as someone else said its buggy and slow. Apollo isnt fast but it is faster than Google Play. Also could never get Google to find all of my music. Apollo finds everything for me. YMMV.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyYan:
I use neither 'cuz my device for music is not ICS-ready (IT'S A NOKIA N900 WITH GINGERBREAD 2.3.7 :D ) and Google Play sucks too much mem.

For now using stock music player bundled with Gingerbread is enough for me, but ZPlayer is my second choice.

And when I self-mod a ROM for my Epic 4G (Secondary device) I'll integrate Apollo and kick ICS stock music. At least it looks better.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] betthacd:
I'd take Google Play over Apollo. The ICS and now JB roms often have Apollo baked in and even though it is a very adequate player, I'm not a huge fan of the UI. Plus the ability to skip songs with the volume rocker is spreading across the other apps now so that benefit is kinda moot.

Install in recovery. Make a backup first of course, just to be safe. Can't be stock recovery I don't think. Haven't looked to see if you have to be rooted or not but I assume you do.

I do that but when I hit power it goes deeper into the files and wont start...It has two subfolders and it shows both of those...Im guessing the file I downloaded might not be able to flashed so maybe I just got bad download or something Im not too sure.
[HTC Rezound] topgun1953:
The file you downloaded should be camera blah blah.zip. There are probably a couple of files in it. I don't usually look because I don't care. :) I'm thinking you're getting side tracked in the menu...Here is how using AmonRA3.15:

Put it on the root of your ext-SD card (SD card). Boot into recovery----->flash zip menu---->Choose zip from SD card---->(select it)---->power button---->press power to confirm...and done.
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Turn off automatic extraction of files in whatever browser you're using. When you download it it extracted it to a folder with the same name as the zip. Or you could use windows to put it back in a zip file.

Need root method for Stock ICS 4.0.4 on LG Nitro

Thanks in advance for any help. I am new to this forum and I novice when it comes to the Android OS.

I updated my LG Nitro to ICS 4.0.4 yesterday, July 31st, 2012.

I had a feeling I wasn't going to be able to keep my root and I was right. I no longer have root privileges and none of the previous methods I used to root 2.3.2 are working.

I have scoured the internet looking for a way to root ICS 4.0.4 with absolutely no luck.

I am looking for a working method to root the new update to the LG Nitro, ICS 4.0.4.

Any help would be greatly appreciated; however, please keep in mind that I catch onto things quick but I am not an expert by any means as far as the Android OS goes. I am used to the one click methods to rooting.

PLEASE HELP ME IF YOU CAN. I REALLY NEED TO ROOT THIS PHONE TO USE MY APPS. ANYWAY I CAN ROOT THIS AND KEEP ICS WOULD BE GREAT!!!!
