hey all,

After HTC advertised its free 25 Gb dropbox storage on the case, i found that after signing up, i just got the usual 2gb space. I banged my head until i found a solution. Follw these steps and you are good to go. I never tried it on ICS, but i think its similar.

1. Sign Up for dropbox if you haven't already.

2.Connect your phone to dropbox in settings<accounts and sync<sign in to dropbox.

3.select auto-upload in dropbox settings. You get 3.5 GB space now.

4.Now open gallery,and open the dropbox folder and allow HTC to access your dropbox folder.

5.You should now get 26.5 gb.

enjoy.. :)

Hope it helps..
[HTC One X] blogslogger:
hey guys did it work for anyone using ICS? Please share your experiences.. :)
[HTC One X] BenPope:
You just have to follow the link in the email and complete the steps. It's not difficult or a secret.
[HTC One X] Vcek:
you can even follow more steps and get more space, i managed 73.5 GB within 10 mins with a help of friend

I deleted a post that had nothing to do with the actual topic of this thread
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SpyderPride:
I recently went through the DirtyRacun S-OFF process then flashed TWRP and the ViperLTE rom. There were a few snags along the way, I believe it had to do with the whole internal/external SD card mount thing but I eventually got it sorted out. I don't need to get into that here though. I just wanted to know if anyone has had any success going back to LOCKED S-ON for the sake of testing or otherwise, since this will be very important for warranty issues.

andybones tells how to get S-ON back in this thread, but it seems a little unclear on whether your bootloader will say "LOCKED" or "RELOCKED" after. I wonder if flashing the stock RUU first would take care of it or if you'd need to place a stock PJ53IMG.zip file on the SD card and let it do its thing, or some combination of both. Is it possible that backed up files from the device prior to temproot/S-OFF would be needed? I'm just thinking about it, probably way off on some of that stuff.

But anyway, I think its an important thing to know and I certainly want to hear if anyone knows anything already. I don't need to revert right now, but it would definitely provide a little peace of mind to me and others, I'm sure. I need to do more research before I start trying too much new stuff on my own.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SpyderPride:
Maybe a good supplemental question is this: Is my bootloader unlocked? I followed only the temproot instructions from the FakeCID thread, then finished DirtyRacun S-OFF. From there I renamed the TWRP 2.2 file as PJ53IMG.zip and placed in on the sdcard root, flashed recovery, then flashed a ROM.

Does any step in this process unlock the bootloader? Right now it just says "DIRTYRACUN". I am aware this is probably a noob question.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jcpowell:
If you locked your bootloader to do the dirty racun tool then you are still locked.

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
if you are s-off it makes no difference if your bootloader is locked or unlocked, s-off is all you need.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SpyderPride:
Alright, sounds good. Thanks for the replies.

But, at one point during the process I remember my bootloader screen saying "TAMPERED" at the top. I wonder if this is part of the process or if I did something wrong at some point and accidentally unlocked the bootloader.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Aldo101t:
No, they all say that, after s-off it disappears.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] SpyderPride:
Nice! Thanks again.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jporter396:
I held out for s off, was it as easy as the unlock was ?
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] junkmail9:
DirtyRacun is very straightforward. Just follow the directions carefully.

Also, I'm fairly certain that after DirtyRacun, the phone's internal flag is set to "RELOCKED", based on the DirtyRacun hboot, but I am also interested to know the answer to the OP's question to confirm.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hohumhurrdurr:
Hey guys, been reading a bunch of reviews and have been wondering about which phone to get for my upgrade. Coming from a T-Mobile G2 (HTC Desire Z), I've really been struggling between all the flagships like S3, Note 2, N4, and even the new Nokia. Some facts:

- I'm on T-Mobile Classic Plan, so an N4 upgrade would cost $200

- No, I don't plan on switching from T-Mobile any time in the near future

- I'm a student, so there is WiFi in 90% of the places I go

- I intend to use the phone primarily for texting, social media, and news

- I don't game on my phone and my music library is under 50 songs

- I am very satisfied with the build quality of my current phone, I have only dropped it 1-2 times in 2 years, but would prefer a phone that can survive a fall or two

- I want a phone that is built to last the next two years before I can upgrade again

If anyone who owns an N4 can tell me if it seems like a good fit for me, I would greatly appreciate it! Reading reviews and posts about specs like AMOLED vs. LCD and benchmarks really doesn't translate into real world use for me. :confused:
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
It seems like a good fit for you. I would just get a case to help project the phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alewis2k12:
Go Nexus 4 if you want the best Android ever built...and also for Development, mods, and etc if you love flashing roms by some of the best devs on xda we have it all here...

other than that go Note 2 its a beast just like the N4 but without all the extra I posted above....:)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
You should probably know that the price is $199 down and 20 payments of $15. The phone will cost you $499.

Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Should last 2 years easily, as Google gives updates for a full 2 years. The hardware is top notch as well, so it won't lag behind. I certainly recommend the N4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hohumhurrdurr:
It is? Huh. I thought the down payments applied for people on the Value Plan and the Classic Plan subsidizes the phone cost so you only pay the initial down payment. Could be wrong though.

Well, for $500 bucks ($300ish if I wait a month or so I suppose) a Nexus 4 doesn't seem nearly as attractive anymore.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] estallings15:
I was under the impression they only offered it with value plans. I'm probably wrong.

Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jalshah05:
I have nexus 4, note ii and siii with me. To answer your questions first thing you want to decide is, are you going to do lot of flashing and rooting and tweaking on your phone? If yes then stop thinking and get nexus 4 right away. There is no better option if you wanna do that. No need to even read further. If not then i would recommend note ii. There are multiple reasons for that. 1) you said you are not going to play lot of games on your phone. Note ii and nexus 4 are similar in many aspects but gpu. Nexus 4 gpu is much much better and hence much better gaming. As gaming is not your concern it would be fine... 2) You are going to do lots of texting, social media and news. In these cases bigger screen comes in handy. Also according to some reviews note ii performs much better with html 5 benchmarks than nexus 4. Also features like pop up browser and all comes in handy. Speaking from experience. 3) You are a student. S-pen might help you a lot for taking notes and all. 4) Nexus 4 has gorgeous build quality. But great things comes with great responsibility. :) you have to be careful with this device with glass on both sides.

This video might help you a bit. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7cZp6YGBEW0&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I use both the phones. I have to have one working phone for my business and other reasons. And i also love to do all the rooting and flashing roms. I learnt the hard way not to do this on same phones. :rolleyes: I love both phones for completely different reasons.

Hope this helps...

Forgot to add one thing. I am not anal about the displays and color rendering and all. I personally like note ii display. Not for colors and all. I am no professional or expert on all that. I just like bigger screen. Hehe..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chinly43:
It's offered with the classic plans as well. I can confirm that I paid $200 for mine with a two-year extension.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan in la:
Mandatory prepaid post

I think it's mandatory when someone posts a thread like this for someone to suggest they go prepaid. I guess I'm that guy. So, why not go prepaid?

On the cheapest classic plan, you're paying $70 per month for 500 minutes and 2GB of 4G data. Over two years, that's:

$70*24 + 200 = $1,880.

If you want more minutes or data, of course you're paying more.

You can do Straight Talk and get a T-Mobile SIM card and pay $45 per month. Unlimited voice, uncertain amount of data but probably at least 2GB per month. You buy the phone from Google, of course.

$45*24 + 350 = $1,430.

If you don't like Straight Talk, you can try Solavei for $49 per month or possibly the new Go Smart mobile for $45. They offer at least 4GB of high speed data per month.

And if you end up not liking their service or network, you can switch to AT&T's network any time you want.

The savings are significant enough that I'd seriously consider waiting a month or two to get my phone.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hohumhurrdurr:
Maybe? I'm not sure what the costs boil down to in the end, but I know that my whole family (5 people) is is on the Classic Plan with my father simply adding 4 other lines to his plan. I believe additional lines have significantly lower costs, but thanks for the heads-up, I'll check out the costs.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] threeclaws:
It seems like a good fit BUT you are wasting money staying on the classic plan, you'd be better off paying $300 for the phone and switching to the $30 prepaid or straight talk.

The build quality is better than the G2 by a good margin, I have a G2 and that hinge is janky, but don't expect the N4 to survive multiple drops without a case. The N4 will be the most up to date phone for the next 2 years, that is available today, you might be looking for something else in a phone but to me that was important.

I was fully expecting to spend $650 on a phone, I was going to buy the iphone 5 off contract and still will but it'll be 6mos from now, so I could have bought any of the flagship phones right now and IMO the N4 is the best choice out of the current crop of android phones.

---------- Post added at 11:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 PM ----------

With tmo usually the 2nd line is cheap to add ($10 or less) but on the 3rd/4th/etc line it is usually the same $10 add on fee plus whatever the data/texting costs are (for me to add a third unl data/taxting line was going to cost ~$50 total.) I would definitely sit down with your dad and see if tmo is really giving him the best deal a lot of people still aren't taking the long view with phone contracts (sure the phone is $200 to start but it costs you an exxtra $2k over the course of 2 years.) AND tmo charges you ~15% in tax, I negated that with a 15% plan employee discount but still with prepaid you can avoid it altogether.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chin273:
It seems like a good fit for you.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoCoGirl886:
The G2 is pretty old.. you'll have to get used to the lack of a physical keyboard (I used to have a Nokia N97 before switching to touchscreen keyboard).

Hm, if you like flashing roms and having the ability to customize your phone, then I would say N4 is a good fit. Since you're on a classic family plan then having one additional line is just $10 more plus data (do you have family texting bundle?). If you don't mind putting more money down, then I would suggest to not buy it not from t-mobile as it's the exact same phone as what google offers, but the price is so much higher. As long as you don't mind with dealing with buying from third parties. You can either save your upgrade for when the iphone 5 comes out and perhaps resell that at a higher value, or to get something like galaxy s3 now to resell. Also, if you speak with a tmobile loyalty rep over the phone, you may be able to get a phone for less than the standard price since you'll be upgrading.

The N4 definitely has a nicer feel to it, though I don't know how well it will survive against falls due to the front and back glass. But.. you stated you rarely drop your phone so that's good :).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjwoohoo:
i think jalshah05 makes some pretty good points when it comes to the note ii. i mean you get the best of both worlds or a tablet and phone. i had an s3 and it was awesome........until i accidentally dropped it face first onto concrete the day before i was about to sell it. =(

i was able to get a hold of the N4. aside from at&t not recognizing the phone officially and not getting the 4g speed i was paying (i finally switched over and get out of at&t), it's a pretty solid phone. you just have to be careful if you don't have a case since the glass could crack if dropped (some people reporting that). i guess the big thing is that you'll always have first dibs on any android updates that come out. if you like to flash different roms, i guess that won't make much of a difference.

but i'm like you. i don't game much. mainly for texting, calling, web surfing, social media, random internet apps (like looking up movies or sports scores) and i couldn't be happier.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1k30rz:
Hi Guys,

I just bought a new Galaxy S3 here in New Zealand and before I start using it, I want to update it to the latest version, I believe 4.1.2 and then root it, can this be done? whats the best option for me? I see the Galaxy Toolkit to do the rooting, is this the most popular/best ?

Also after rooted, can I still do the OTA updates or will I have to flash custom roms?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrismast:
If 4.1.2 was not yet launched in NZ, then you will not get any update for your phone at the moment.

What you could do is, root your phone and then install the 4.1.2 version (Poland)(root is not required for flashing though). For rooting refer to the stickies in general section. Popular methods are CF-Root 6.4 (incl. CWM as recovery) or CF-Auto-Root (keeps stock recovery) (both can be found in dev. section).

After rooting you will not be able to get OTA updates though, whereas KIES should still work (but you will loose root if you update).

In addition, make sure to read all the stickies and guides for rooting before you touch anything! Especially the EFS backup procedure.

I hope it helps.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZeizenKii:
Rooting your phone voids it from getting OTA updates.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dorsalsk:
As said above 4.1.2 is still not available in NZ. So you can flash other ones (like Poland) if needed.

After rooting OTA updates will not work. But you can still get the firmware and flash them through Odin. This will remove root and will have to go through the rooting procedure again.

I feel samsung will release 4.1.2 for other regions soon and my suggestion would be to wait for that and then go ahead with rooting

Thanks guys yeah 4.1.2 does not look like its been released yet, I'll wait for it to come out then root :) cheers!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
I used to wait for offical releases, then realised there was no need - the custom ROMs are far better than the official and much faster at new releases than regional Samsung rollout. They also get rid of the battery sapping bling most people only use the once.

If you are going to root anyhow, then the warranty isn't a concern.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1k30rz:
Just had bad experiences with 3rd-party ROM's. Had a Desire Z and ran about 5 different roms, cyanogen, gingerbread and ICS variants, mimcry, ilwt, extreme mod, and none of them seemed to run very well after a few weeks of use. The stock ROM on this galaxy is flying like no tomorrow! especially after simply disabling the garbage apps :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
I'll admit that Samsung could teach HTC quite a few things about writing a good ROM, I'm sticking with customs of the stock jb 4.1.2 for now as it all works so well and saves me having to remember what needs disabling. I tried a few minimalist roms before sticking with the viking one.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bose301s:
Well, I just purchased a Note 2 and am still in the "evaluation phase". I really do like the phone, fast, amazing battery and awesome signal. However I am asking this because I ama wondering if I am getting all that I can be from my Galaxy Nexus before I decide to keep the Note 2 for $700+.

For reference I have recently been using the Euroskank CM10.1 releases with Franco's newest kernel and undervolting CPU to approximately the values in the LeanKernel Aggressive Undervolt levels as well as knocking down all IVA and CORE voltage 100mv.

I can generally stretch the Nexus' battery life to 13 or 14 hours, but that's with <2 hours of screen on time. If I am using it a lot 8 hours of battery life is lucky, if not less. This really isn't with any gaming or using it for listening to anything, just genrally Facebook and the internet. I do leave LTE on even though at work I can only get 3G. I have turned LTE off before but honestly I have never seen an increase in battery life from doing so. This goes to signal issue also, at work it will go to 30% or more time without signal and Cell Standby will be the second highest use of battery. I have a refurbed unit from Asurion that is version 10 and using the latest radios for CDMA and LTE. The Note 2 in the same usage environment reported 0% time without signal and Cell Standby was way down the list of power usage.

So, basically I am wondering, am I getting everything out of the Nexus that I can, or should I be getting better numbers. Maybe some of you on here can verify that the Note 2 is actually better for signal etc. or that I am just being delusional. Thanks in advance to all of you!
