Cloud service will always require internet access, but u can tag files in dropbox for offline usage (press and hold file and ull see the menu).

ANd pleasse ask questions in Q&A section.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitecalvus:
I could do that, but if I were to modify files or folders (add files, move, delete, edit), I would have to "manually sync" the changes to my N7, whereas a cloud service would do it automatically. I don't want to waste time ensuring that every device has the latest "versions" of my files and folders.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 95Z28:
I've used box since g2x days when they were giving away 50gb free storage. It has an offline mode I don't personally use, but the option is there.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LilTechPrincess:
Dropbox does work just fine for this. You can even sync between laptops, desktops, tablets and phones.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ClintvL:
In Google Drive you can also keep files offline.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitecalvus:
From what I've experienced, not all the files are synced to my N7. Google Drive will keep files that you open on your N7 cached on your tablet. What I'm looking for it all my files to be downloaded to my tablet.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitecalvus:
I'll give this a try, but dropbox only gives you two 2gbs when you start :(

Anyone need referrals?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
I got 50 GB free for 2 yrs by installing a leaked Samsung ROM on my GS2 that offered that. If you need space, look for offers like that.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitecalvus:
I just got 50gb from Box.com (search "Box 50 GB Promotion FAQs" in google search, even the the 50gb promotion was over (deadline dec, 31, 2012), I was still able to get my 50gb with my LG phone).

From what I've been able to test with Box, I'm able to multiselect files and folders which I can them make them available for offline use. This is perfect for my uses! I'm happy!

A little summary for people who are looking for offline access to their documents on their tablets (from my experience, if your experience differs please correct me)

Google Drive: You will only be able to access files that you choose to make offline (or save to storage) or have access to the files that are cached in the memory. You can't choose entire folders or select multiple files and make them offline (can't multiselect files and make them offline, you'll have to individually select a file and make it offline or save to storage).

Skydrive: You must have internet access in order to have access to your documents. Offline access is possible to files you download onto your N7 or files that are cached, but you can only download one file at a time (no multiselecting files or folders).

Dropbox: Same as Google Drive.

In conclusion, Box was the best service for me when the 4 services were compared for offline access. If you're able to get the 50GB promotion, then go for it! I'll figure out issues and report back!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] berardi:
Try dropbox with an app called DropSync. It will periodically download your whole dropbox locally for offline access.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gigabitex2:
Right now you can get 15gb of storage if you sign up for a box account through astro file manager..just putting it out there;)
[Nexus 7 General] BostonDan2:
I had my family buy a bunch of google play gift cards for my son for Christmas.

We've been purchasing apps without a problem until today. I went to purchase Greedy Spiders for $0.99 and I could not use the Google Play gift cards. The card was greyed out with a message right below the cards stating "This payment method has been declined.", but noting a balance of $12.05.

I called Google Play support and had to go through 3 calls and 6 support reps before one finally addressed the problem. The developer of the app is not allowing payment using Google Play gift cards. The developer of the app only accepts payment by credit card. This seems crazy to me. It's kinda like going to BestBuy and being unable to use BestBuy gift cards to buy a Sony TV because Sony only accepts credit card payment.

I'm not sure how many other developers are not accepting Google Play as a payment method, but I wanted to share the story.
[Nexus 7 General] cjsspape:
Wow that's pretty ridiculous. First I've heard of that. I guess greedy spiders isn't just the name of the game haha.
[Nexus 7 General] jacob808:
yep. Aren't those gift cards supposed to help protect you from compromising your personal information online? ID theft is a pretty huge problem nowdays. I would be wary of doing business with that developer....
[Nexus 7 General] BostonDan2:
While I'm certain this vendor is the exception to the majority as I've had an Android phone for years and never experienced this, there will always be some vendors unless Google changes their policies to prevent developers from doing this. IMHO, I blame Google more than anyone. Google should not be providing developers the option to exclude Google Play gift cards when developers sell their products through the Google Play store.
[Nexus 7 General] skeet34:
I just came across this issue too but it seems to be for EVERY app or movie i have tried to download. I have a google play balance of $85 that seems to be utterly useless now! I need to do more research into this because this is just not acceptable and i feel extremely cheated. This is the first thread i came across so thought i would share my experience. If anyone has any input or an alternate reason as to why i can no longet use my play credit to make purchases i would be very interested to know.
[Nexus 7 General] player911:
Well with respect, Google Play is more like Amazon or EBay as such they allow anyone to write an app and publish it. And since Google is a world wide service, some countries may not or be able to accept that gift card service.

It happens but it is rare. We dealt with this with the initial $25 Play Store credit we got with our Nexus 7s. A very few developers wouldn't/couldn't accept the Gift Cards...

Or maybe it is a time factor. Maybe the listings have to be updated to accept gift cards?

I don't see a huge issue with this. I personally like the idea that devs can choose their method of choice.
[Nexus 7 General] skeet34:
My problem with that is that i cant find a single app, movie, or song i can download with my play store balance. If there is NO devs that are going to accept gift cards as payment then Google needs to reimburse me for the money I already put out on their gift cards to download from their store which now seems to be completely void. If i knew i was going to be put in this position when i spent $150 on gift cards i would have never bought them. They claim on the card they are good for all purchases from the store apart from tangible products and when outside the US. I will be calling them tomorrow during business hours to bring this issue up.
[Nexus 7 General] chismay:
err.....just stay away from that app?

if a dev is only accepting credit cards and not gift cards from the google market theyre app is being sold on...seems very dodgy
[Nexus 7 General] Saturny:
I agree. When I got my N7, I had no problem using my $25. Seems fishy to me. It shouldn't matter if the money came from a gift card, green is green.

And I was just thinking about getting a gift card for the Play Store. After reading this though, maybe I should try something different.
[Nexus 7 General] ynrozturk:
Well now.. that is pretty retarded.
[Nexus 7 General] rmm200:
If your goal in writing an app is to harvest credit card information, it makes perfect sense.
[Nexus 7 General] Killasmoke:
Well isn't the the name of the app called "Greedy Spiders " don't trust it I'm not getting stuck in his web! ;)
[Nexus 7 General] zeerakaziz:
SOLUTION

Hi, I know it's a bit late but I have just found a SOLUTION to this problem. You can solve this by creating another Gmail account and using the same payment method as this problem is not related to the the payment method but the account as I have found. Go into Settings>Accounts>Add Account>Google>New. Then create a new Google account which will work alongside your present Google account and NOT replace it. Go to the Play store and swipe right across the screen and you will see a drop down menu from your present Google account going into the Google account you just made. Use this new account to purchase the application. The application will be downloaded to your phone hopefully without your "payment method being declined" . :)
[Nexus 7 General] TonyHoyle:
First I've heard of sellers even getting that opton. It's not on my developer console. How would the developer know anyway? The income isn't broken down by method of payment. nothing related on the merchant account either.

I suspect a glitch rather than anything deliberate.

---------- Post added at 02:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

App writers never see credit card information. Only the payment processor (in this case google) does.
[HTC Wildfire S] Pr3no:
I've probably tried all of the CM10 roms for the WFS, and the statusbar was laggy on all of them, so I'd like to change back to the ICS statusbar, is there a way to do that?
[HTC Wildfire S] TRuth14:
What rom did you use ? Jelly King ? CM10 Nightlies ?
[HTC Wildfire S] Pr3no:
At the moment I use Jelly King.
[HTC Wildfire S] TRuth14:
Well actually is not possible by the way . But if you really want it , you can just change to CM9 . Which is currently stable for now :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lechen:
This is a Sprint phone, which I want to unlock and use it in the US on ATT. I got the unlock code. According to most posts I found on the Internet, I should put in the SIM card and power on, and then there should be a prompt asking me for the unlock code. However, I don't see that prompt when I do that. Does anybody knows the answer here? Your help will be very much appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CNexus:

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProudSikh:
Since I cant post in the development forum im posting here.

I have a stock n4 rooted and CWM touch on it with Matrix Kernel.

Today I decided to download Paranoid ROM and flash it. Ive tried the 1-9 and 1-11(today) build and everytime I reboot the phone the startup wizard starts crashing and so does gapps.

I tried flashing without gapps and same thing.

I know it cant be the rom, so what can I do to figure this out? I have wiped / factory reset, wiped dalvik cache and regular cache every single time i flashed.

Sorry if this has been posted but I did search for about a good 35 minutes and unless im searching wrong I couldnt find anything

I bought a Crazyondigital case bundled with 3 extra cords for my Note (12 V, USB and longer wall plug). I setup a large Suncatcher portable solar charger made for laptops (unfortunately they haven't been made for a while) and tried out the 12V charger and am happy to report it works, as does the two other cables. (The wall charger actually is longer and charges more quickly than the Samsung wall charger.)

I want to share this tool for our community.

Hopefully this tool will help beginners to unlock their devices and flash a recovery as easily as possible.

I know its when you are new to all this stuff like adb or fastboot and you don´t know how to use cmd.

But this tool is also very useful for all advanced users out there if you want to flash a recovery without losing time tipping the commands in cmd.

I take no responsibility for any fault or damage caused by this tool. No warranties of any kind are given.

You should know what happens when you are unlocking. Warranty will be void ...

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
I have some important points for your TODO list:

* Add error checking and error handling! (and *test* all error situations). Never assume when you build a tool for beginners that they have the correct USB drivers installed, or that they read and follow your instructions. Currently you even clear any error messages immediately, so users will never find out if something goes wrong and why.

* Indicate which versions of TWRP and CWM you have bundled with your tool.

If you address these issues, this could evolve to a nice tool to give to a newbie (even if I personally think that users who don't even want to learn the basics of a CLI should not try to install custom ROMs)

[Asus Transformer TF700] blackmambazzz:
you are welcome :)

to root jellybean you must unlock your device.

if you want to unlock you lose your warranty and wont get otas any more (only manually upgrade).

when you decide to unlock i would suggest to watch the video in the op to install cleanrom and your device is flying compared to stock rom (but your warranty is void)

cleanrom is based on stock firmware and has root, tweaks and much more.

I hope this helps :)

No, you can also downgrade to ICS, gain root, use OTA rootkeeper, and do incremental updates to JB (search for "dlpkgfile" for details).

So after unlocking the device there is no way to relock it, in case I have to send it back?
