[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] zmore:
Not all the carriers (AT&T, and Verizon didn't iirc) signed on for the Dropbox promo, so the K00l Kiddies tried a dumb "hack" to get the 50G that dropbox can take back whenever they want. (they've taken it back before).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TheFiveDots:
Ah, I see. Well OP didn't mention that. Thanks for the heads up.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thestereotypist:
Yep, I got mine by installing DietICS ROM, and just noticed the 50gb is gone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] knightblaze:
I never bothered with it as I have 50gb from Box when I bought my Touchpad. Was Leary of trying to jerk the system as I had a few people I know lose all their stored data when drop box caught em.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blue265:
I am pretty sure they caught onto it. The same thing happened with the HTC promotion that offered dropbox space. Someone extracted the Dropbox APK and hacked it to work on any phone thereby giving you the promo space. A few months later everyone who used it had the space removed. Its very possible that they caught onto it. Diet ICS was/is based off the Rogers stock so by installing it, you'd get the 50GB of space inadvertantly since Rogers SGS3 was valid for the 50GB promo.

Dropbox must have found a way to determine what phone you actually have based on your IMEI possibly and removing the space like they did for the HTC hack
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ahfu25:
Sorry about that... Just assumed everyone would know because it was posted on the at&t section of the s3.

Lost mine, asked me to fill out questions to keep it. I did that then it went back down to 2 GB.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mrhaley30705:
Well, i just pay the $10 every month and have no worries about it being taken back. And they just doubled my space to 100gb.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] LordGeek:
I did mine when it was first announced about the Samsung+Dropbox deal .. at that time I was still using the Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket .. got the 50GB .. bought the Samsung Galaxy S III when it came out .. and still as of today, my 50GB is still there :)

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] WattB006:
That sucks. I lost mine as well. I also got it using DietICS. Oh well I guess. I will have to figure out how to get more space.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TRusselo:
The ATT section is also the bell, rogers and telus section. read the line at the top of the page under the portal button.

simple. pay for more space. dropbox hacks are not allowed on xda.

I can only wonder if the next Nexus will be made by Sony. But I really hope so! Can't wait to get rid of my Atrix next July! By the way, this might be great news for the Xperia S. It may mean the Xperia S get updates at the same time as the Nexus devices. Imagine that.

Ok, this makes NO SENSE. I have been using CM9 RC1 since it was posted with no problems. Yesterday, in the middle of my day, when my phone rang, the ringtone was different. I looked at it and it was one of the cm9 ringtones. CM9 will not recognize my custom ringtone i have been using now for years in the ringtone folder. Any suggestions? I did a complete reflash from square one and still no luck.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frostedunit:
Is the ringtone showing up in the list, just not playing? If so, the system can't find it on the SD card and is reverting to the default tone. Try defragging your SD card or backing up and reformatting.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gargamel1:
I'm sitting here at work and I check my signal strength it say -91. When I had my Droid incredible original it would have a signal strength of around -62. Do I have one of those defective nexus phones I keep hearing about? Also in my house I go from

-120 to -140 what's up with that? My cell standby says 73% of the time that can't be good.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Are you on LTE? If so, the Nexus properly reports the LTE signal, which may be worse because it is not rolled out as widely as the 3G on your Incredible.

Also, the radios on the GNex aren't the best, as is widely noted and complained about.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gargamel1:
I am on lte so if I change to cdma it'll have better signal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ProDriver77:
Maybe, but signal strength is relative to network type and data speeds. What location?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gargamel1:
South Carolina on verizon. In Charleston county we have 4g. I get it if I walk down the street but anything in or around my house seems to be a dead zone. It's really irritating and I bet its destroying my battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
Outside of the appearance of a "weak" signal, does the device function? Can you make a call? I have a signal of -102db at work because we have crap coverage of all kinds and can still make a clear call on my VZW GNex. Outside of the building I get more bars (like it matters) and can make the same phone call. Obviously data speeds are slower inside than out, but communications still flow.

Edit: Your giant 4.65 inch screen is probably using more juice than your weak signal. It's the price of a big display.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gargamel1:
Yes I still can make phone calls, but when I first noticed it I had my wife call me and it didn't ring. So I'm afraid that I'll end up missing phone calls. I'm a firm believer in the "if you pay for something it should work and not be defective". Also when I talked to Verizon the tier two tech said it couldn't activate/communicate with the device at the the switch. He suggested a new sim or phone. He also said with the worry free guarantee I could switch out the phone for another. I would have to pay the difference if it cost more. I'm now wondering if since I got this phone for free would I have to 299.99 for a phone, or since it costs 299.99 at Verizon could I switch it out for a phone that costs 299.99?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ProDriver77:
I'm pretty sure it only means the difference in MSRPs between the two devices. Had the same situation a few years ago with Sprint when 3 Instincts went bad. Upgraded to a Touch Pro and only had to pay $100, even though I got the Instinct for only $50 on special.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ericshmerick:
I have AT&T. Been using the GNEX for months (before it was available on Google Play) and it shows ~1 bar/0 bars in my basement. I recently got a new GSM RAZR MAXX and in the same basement, I get 4/5 bars and never drop a call ever.

That says something to me. Quite simply Samsung radios aren't nearly as good as Motorola's radios.

I'm actually selling my GNEX and keeping the RAZR.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] boe:
Do you have a Verizon Galaxy Nexus? Most likely
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gargamel1:
Yeah its a Verizon nexus. Man I really like this phone the screen is amazing, I get OK battery life, and the 5mp camera is really good in low light. I wish I could get the reception of the razr maxx as I'm hearing it is greatly superior. Plus with the razr HD coming out it makes me second guess. If I keep switching sim cards and phones until the razr HD comes out what would my chances be in getting that one as a trade in?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ProDriver77:
Slim-to-none in my experience. I think it's always been a tradeoff between Motorola and Samsung. I love Samsungs design and screens and ease of rooting/unlocking compared to HTC and Moto. For me, the carrier (Verizon) and their excellent network in my area more than makes up for the lack of the GNex's signal-pulling ability.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] thegregulator:
I get lousy reception on my gsm galaxy nexus on Bell too. This is my second nexus and it's definitely no better than the first. They keep making phones thinner and thinner and at some point radios, batteries, internal storage have to suffer. I like the phone but I can't wait until my contract is up and I can check out the new Nexus'.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BrianDigital:
No time without signal that high is killing his battery more than the screen. Cell phones want to remain in contact with the tower at all times, the poor signal the phone tries that much harder to stay on the tower.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Cilraaz:
If you're using 4G, remember that 4G on ICS and higher (I believe it's all ICS/JB devices) reports RSRP signal status, rather than RSSI. RSRP shows a much lower number for a similar signal level. Read this thread for more information.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gargamel1:
I think I pinpointed it to the fact that when I'm connected to wifi I'm not connected to the mobile network. Does this make sense? when I'm not connected it is reading it as time without signal.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Smokeey:
Someone link him the damn thread on how to read the signal correctly in ICS/JB.

Remember too, you'll get a worse signal when inside of your house.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Gargamel1:
Wow didn't mean to get your panties in a bunch. I do know that the signal is worse IN my house but I'm talking about being outside my house and inside my house. I apologize for not being clear on that front. But 73% no signal is a concern regardless of where I am.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marhensa:
Here's the thing.

I came from another device, and bought Nexus this week.

It's perfect for me,

except one thing which keeps me crazy.

Galaxy Nexus doesn't have SDCard.

It is only nand internal memory, and yes I can live with that just fine since it is big enough.

The problem is, there's no way to mount that internal partition into pc via usb mass storage.

I don't know what it called, but certainly it is not usb mass storage.

Yes I can see my data, copy, paste to it, but it's waaaaaay to slow.. max is only approximately 5 MBps.

And the things got more serious when transfering many many many SMALL files, like photos, or some imagery cache tiles into Galaxy Nexus via usb.

it seems it tooks forever to complete :(

i tried many computers, many port, many usb cable, the results remain the same.

(i tried it both on ICS stock and JB stock)

(and mount sdcard on both CWM / TWRP does not work too..)

Okay, i decided i can live with that, since no usb mass storage is good thing though.. no need to worry about unplug without safely remove.

BUT the things make me crazy is:

why the heck my photos and pictures date modified is changed into today's date?

it looks bad on gallery, the date arrangements is all wrong because of that.

i tried it by many method, including i make some flashable zip contains my photos and pictures to be flashed into:

/data/media/

(which is the real location of virtual sdcard)

but the date modified still changed, but this time it gets funnier, it says modified on 2008.

is there any way to store photos and pictures from another device into galaxy nexus but keeps the date modified stay intact?

ps:

i tried transfer files via wifi (ftp apps) too.. same results.. :(

Try Local Sync, available on play store, it works for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marhensa:
buzzcomp...

thank you very much for recommending it.

i already thanks all your post (it's 20 already) :D

anyway, you are such good man with knowledge according to all your posts.. :)

LocalSync is the best..!!!

never thought to using it at the first place..

from now on,

i'll use it regulary.

and most importantly, it keeps date modified intact :D

no date modified changed... :good:

here's what i test, when syncing using Local Sync:

DELETE SCENARIO:

---------

> delete file on phone

> on pc gets deleted too..

> delete file on pc

> on phone gets deleted too..

ADD NEW FILE SCENARIO

---------

> add new file on phone

> on pc file added too..

> add new file on pc

> on phone it's added too.

EDITING / FILE CHANGES SCENARIO

---------

> edit some file on pc..

> it will updated on phone too.

> edit some file on phone

> it will updated on pc too..

EDITING / FILE CHANGES (BUT BOTH EDITED) SCENARIO

---------

> when edit some files, both edited, pc and phone

> the replaced one, is according to the settings (choose pc or phone)

MOVED FILE SCENARIO

---------

> when moving some files into new location (on phone)

> on pc the files will be moved too. it's moved, not doubled on two location.

vice versa.

UNIQUE SCENARIO

---------

> on phone, the file moved into new location.

BUT on pc that file is copied into new location (not moved, so there's two files, original location, and new location),

and the file on new location, pc, has been edited.

> the sync result is, it moved into new location, but there's two files, one is edited, one is the original (renamed into yyyyyy.orig.xxx)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
For me, adb pull & push do not preserve original date and timestamps. However, I find this only an issue for pictures since stock gallery uses this metadata for sorting. Quickpic (available in play store) can fix this by using exif metadata to restore original file date and timestamps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mahnn:
I realize this post is old so sorry for the bump, but: can Quickpic actually restore and write back the original timestamps? How does this work if so? I'm trying to transfer pictures with the original timestamp for days, see original thread, but so far nothing worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Petrovski80:
Yes it can, as long as the pictures have exif metadata.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Pierke01:
Use Local Sync

Personally I do not understand why such a simple thing is so difficult with android tablet or phone: keep your files up to date between PC or server and the device. This is so simple with a USB stick or even with exernal drives, even with VPN. Why is this so difficult and painfull with android devices????

I (want) to use our android tablets in meetings or even in the field. So I need a sync tool to keep files up to date on the android device side (PC and/or fileserver is always master).

Android devices = Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 (GT-N8000) with ICS 4.04 and Samsung Galaxy SIII (with GT-I9300) ICS 4.04.

I have installed Local Sync (from psencik.cz). I can connect the tablet and pairing with the PC. First remark : I notice that the android device (samsung note 10.1 tablet with ICS 4.0) never shows "USB connection" but only "MTP connection". There is simply no USB option available under "wireless and networks > more settings", so it is not possible to cancel MTP.

remark 2: the tablet shows up in Windows Explorer as GT-N8000 and files are accessible (copy, move and delete possible).

So Local Sync is installed but it is no possible to sync files from PC to Android device. About the "directory" settings to set up in the PC and the android device, nothing is clear. When I set the same directory name on both, the directory with all contents on the android device side is simply deleted !

I have seen that you are using "scenarios". How can I set these in Local Sync? is there a specific ini file to be made for this?

Please, help will be greatly appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doggydog2:
I dont even understand that tool. It looks so specific. Is there any FILE MANAGER with timestamp fix?

Omg back to roots.. Years after mass storage was happily introduced, it is dismissed by google plus the timestamps are forced by google. So no way to copy files. Thanks for wasting my time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marhensa:
yea we all know MTP sucks.

people loves usb mass storage.

it's just dumb, why can't we preserve date modified?

although it can be preserve by some sort of software, like localsync mentioned already, but the end-user thinks it way too advanced for them.

I don't know who started this stupid MTP things, not sure if another device without sdcard using this MTP too or not (iPhone).

it seems it has been a long time since I tried localsync, I should create tutorial for it for today's android version.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doggydog2:
And I have a phone without SD card reader, which adds up to the chaos. I already wasted hours on this. After years of efforts to add mass storage to all relevant devices by manufacturers, the Android phone became my only device without this feature.

I finally do this:

1) copy files to SD card.

2) use USB SD microreader to connect to phone via USB OTG (this technology was not yet dismissed by google)

3) install busybox on a rooted system (because google thinks COPY command is so ridiculous to keep by default, while REMOVE and MOVE is ok)

4) cp -a /Removable/USBdisk1 /sdcard

It is even very fast but not visible. I have to keep the screen on all the time otherwise USB gets disconnected (another genius designed this).

If google wants to be similar to microsoft in treating people, they can end up having similar market share in the end..
