[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Here's a question worth asking as it may effect some of you......

I already have a FREE 50GB addition for 2 years by purchasing an SGS3. That now expires in 18 months time.

This week I purchased a SGN 10.1 which I 'supposedly' assumed it too would have the offer of a FREE 50GB addition for 2 years.

However, looking at my account I notice the Note 10.1 is not mentioned in my account.

I would have thought one of two things would have happened:-

1. My account increased from 50GB to 100GB based on the fact I have 2 x Samsung products each with a FREE 50GB for 2 years.

2. My account FREE 2 year expire date would have been amended to the date I added my Note 10.1 to Dropbox.

At the moment it looks like although you get an initial FREE 50GB for 2 years, it doesn't matter if you purchase another Samsung product during that period, you don't get any further FREE extension.

Here's hoping I am wrong.................

You're not wrong. I activated two Galaxy Note 10.1s and didn't get the additional space.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toenail_flicker:
You have to go through your tablet, and then work all of the steps. In the end you get the extra space. I did. Multiple threads on this.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blud7:
Not everyone gets the space. Unless you mean the hack, that I haven't tried.

From Dropbox's own page:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toenail_flicker:
IF you qualify, those are the steps, as verified by Dropbox, to get the space. If you don't qualify there there should be no question. Your device will tell you if you qualify.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Dropbox settings and requirements between my two Samsung devices are the same but it is only the first device that has been given the additional space (as mentioned by blud7).

In a way I do understand with both machines running from the same account it may not be increased..... But it is a shame Dropbox do not at the least role over the additional 48GB expiry date based on the last machine the account is running on.

This is my experience:

When going thru the setup on the device, sign in when asked and complete setup.

Launch the app on the note, you will receive an email stating your account has been upgraded.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Never happened to me..... I completed the setup, accepted to allow the Note to upload photos and that was it. No email and nothing showing of the Note in my accounts but it did upload photos I took with the tablet, so it does know the Note is part of my account.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toenail_flicker:
There are 7 or 8 steps to complete before you can have the extra space. It's a list that checks you off as you complete the steps. That's what you did?

I just finnished getting my 50GB DropBox space. I had thought I was not going to get it as I got the app got the dropbox and then nothing. So I went to dropbox via my laptop and there was a statement that I had 5 things to complete to get my extra 48GB storage and there was a list of I think 8 items and the one for the app was marked complete. The ones I did was take the tour, download dropbox for my laptop, create a share folder and send an invite to my wife's email to share my dropbox once those 5 things were done it said completed and I had my 50GB.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toenail_flicker:
I never got an email telling how to get it. Found it myself after poking around.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beards:
Yes, did all that, sorry but thought I had said all that before.

With all the steps done I can't think of anything more to do.

In my Dropbox Settings/Bonus Space it simply is not showing another Samsung product and thus not adding an additional 48GB of allowance.

It would seem I am not the only one with this issue ~ https://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=63260&page=15

I have raised a ticket with them, as reading through those 15 pages the Dropbox staff have not replied to any of the comments raised during the past month.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toenail_flicker:
Sorry. I wonder if it was a limited time offer?

FWIW, the extra space is only active for two years, so no real loss.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] horrendo:
Hi all,

I have a bit of a problem.

I had an old Oxygen (?) 2.3.? but wish to upgrade to ICS so after installing the 'official' 2.3.5 was following steps in http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1420728.

I got up to the bit about installing Clockworkmod. When I tried to go into recovery mode for some reason (I must have screwed something up) it went back into the Firmware update (presumably because I still had the sd card with the 2.3.5 updated on it). It gets through the first step of the update but when it goes to start step 2 it comes up with 'Update failed'.

If I remove the sd card and try to start up normally I get the blue screen.

I can get to the pink screen but I'm not sure what to do from there.

Thanks for any help.

Cheers,

H.

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] horrendo:
Thanks for the suggestion. How do I see what is missing? I have tried various USB drivers but so far haven't found one that will mount the device. Do I need to use logcat with adb?

Any idea why it will no longer allow me to simply reflash the stock rom?

By the way, the device is the standard u8800 - not the -pro.

Cheers,

H.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
Not in blue screen, you must go to pink screen mode(by pressing vol+/- end power when the device is turned off). There you'll be able to see the folder with the system files on pc.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] horrendo:
Now I'm confused. :)

When I connect the phone to my Windows computer (tried XP and 7 in both pink and blue modes), the device does not register. Windows detects the new device and asks for drivers. I have tried different ones but none that I've tried so far will see the device. If someone could give me a link to drivers that definitely work I would be most grateful.

Like I said in my original post, if I leave the SD card in it tries to do the firmware upgrade but fails. Is there no way to 'reset' the phone somehow so that the firmware upgrade will go through? Perhaps downgrade to an older version first??

Thanks,

H.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] dancer_69:
There is not blue screen mode. Blue screen just shows that the system files don't exist. If recovery image doesn't exist you get a blue screen when you try to reboot to recovery mode. If you cannot boot normally, probably boot.img is erased(or maybe all system files which are on Image folder are erased).

Also if you had flashe an official rom version higher of B518, you probably have a locked pink screen, so it doesn' t matter if you have or not drivers because you cannot access the special partition which has the Image folder with all system files anyway.

Now, if the update proccess of official rom stops or second step(after unpacking proccess), probably a partition on the device is corrupted and the update cannot write to it. There is a special update, which you can flash with the same way as the official rom(put it on dload folder), and maybe can solve the problem. I' ve posted it on another thread here before some time. The filename is: update-160up

try to search the forum and hopefully you will find the thread(which has some isntructions and comments also).

You can try to flash a 2.2 official rom also. Maybe the update will succeed then.
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Somcom3X:
Depending on your model you need to restore its pinkscreen stock files. The boot.img will fix the bluescreen. Heres oxygen's boot.img. Mount via usb to computer*
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fookedit:
I have same problem and can not mount phone via computer seems the only way is via external sd card. will the phone boot off the sd card if the above boot.img is loaded on to it and where would i put this file. and should i take the 2.3 gingerbread update (dload/update.app)off the sd card and just have the boot.img file?
[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] Somcom3X:
you should flash the update again maybe?

[Huawei Ideos X5 U8800] fookedit:
is it game over?

flashed normal gingerbread with update.app and update_custom.app in the dload folder. no luck, update failed. the phone does go into boot loop with huawei logo when power vol+- and plugged into external power. Help! I should say that i have recently upgraded it to official 2.3.5 firmware from 2.2 using and wanted to install dzo's aurora so i like others

"2. rooted with superoneclick

3. replaced .cust_backup/image/recovery.img with recovery.img (cwm5.0.2.7), by remount and es file explorer'

restarted, bang! blue screen restarted again with power vol-+ got pink screen but computer wont detect any storage on phone so i cant access the phone with the computer only via external sd card and the updates dont seem to work, i would like to try booting with froyo but cant find it anywhere....

so yeah, help, seems like game over to me!

Galaxy Note GT-N7000 :

It was upgraded to ICS 4.0.3 , to that dangerous LPY kernel , so I flashed it back to GB using Mobile Odin (but in order to install/use Mobile_Odin you need root , so I rooted ICS with the method 1. below)

QUESTION:

- Can I USE the same "Root_SuperSu 0.95 & Root_busybox" method to root the GingerBread GB 2.3.6 ?? (of course by renaming Root_SuperSu 0.95.zip to update.zip )

1.Rooting with stock recovery - Thanx to Entropy who direct this way,as well always looking for safety measures for us, Chainfire for creating great tool SuperSu (and many more), Phil3759 as files,scripts derived from his Thread and Linus Yang for Busybox.

- Download Root_SuperSu 0.95

-Copy downloaded file to Ext SD card.

-Reboot into recovery (vol up+Home+power)

-Select install zip from ext SD card

-select 'root_SuperSU-*.zip' which you have copied to Ext card above

-Reboot device

-You can see superSU on appl drawer. open it and update.

-Now This will give you only SuperSU not busybox, though application which doesn't depends on system busybox will still works.e.g.Titanium Backup.

-To get full Root+busybox, Download Root_busybox *.zip

-Copy Root_busybox* only to Ext SD card

-Reboot into recovery, Select Install zip from Ext SD card. select Root_busybox* .zip and Flash.

-Done !

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siavash79:
Hello everyone

I've switched from CM7 on my old Nexus One to Galaxy Nexus and CM9, which was updated later to CM10.

I know everyone will tell me I've done a wrong thing, but I restored my whole phone apps/configuration from my old phone using TitaniumBackup: I have to say except for 1-2 apps, it worked just as I wished.

After few days of CM10 and watching other phones around me, I found out that Enhanced Notifications are already enabled in the nightlies, but they seem to be disabled on mine!

At this point I'm looking for some advice for enabling this feature. For sure, factory reset is the fastest option, but I will forget about the enhanced notifications rather than going through the whole factory reset thing.

I really don't need the full instructions here. A very brief hint can do the trick for me.

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Is it a specific to any one app or all of them? Because not many apps actually support enhanced notifications yet. Gmail is one that does.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siavash79:
Honestly, I never had the enhancements on my phone, so I don't know for sure on which apps they should appear.

Gmail gives long notifications (some content of the email), but no buttons. I think this is it for now.

But for missed calls for example, there should be some buttons, which are missing.

You mean the issue refers to phone app? nice idea. but I don't know whether phone app is not sending them, or notification bar doesn't receive.

Can you introduce me some app with the same feature support, so I can test?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
Gmail isn't supposed to have buttons, just long message preview. The expanded notifications aren't always expanded. Drag down on it with 2 fingers. It should have buttons for a missed call.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lesicnik1:
Easiest way to check expandable notifications is to take a screenshot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siavash79:
It's a huge shame for me that I didn't know this double finger trick.

thanks a lot
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] siavash79:
By the way: the notifications are never expanded on my phone. How can I change the default settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jesusice:
I think it just depends on if you've got other notifications already showing. If you've got none it should default to expanded.

Have tried to hard reset to no avail, have used the standard methods shown on the net

The thing goes to a google logo or just freezes whether I connect to pc or not

Have downloaded nexus 7 toolkit, but cannot install drivers (option 1)

Have downloaded pdanet to install adb/fastboot, but it tell me its unable to tether

Remember that I am unable to get onto the tablet so I am unable tick usb debugging

When I connect the device, the autoplay option opens, however using "open device to view files" is empty

Finally, I can follow instructions but don't have a clue what most of it means, so be gentle
