Thanks for updating here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chiraagt:
I am facing the same problem please do update me on what you do/what happens?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] npg500:
Is it possible to run the dropbox promo apk, which appears during initial setup, after the setup process?

I had an S3 which gave me 48GB, a year ago I've switched to an S4 but did not make use of the promo. Now the 48GB of the S3 are due to expire and I would like to collect the S4's 48GB without factory reset.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] zmore:
Just so happens that Dropbox sent me an email a few days ago about this:

So, it would appear that after the promo expires, and if you're over the new reduced limit, nothing is deleted, thankfully, but you can't add anything until you're back under it or you pay up. I was really expecting that cloud competition and the exponential growth in tech would mean that 50GB was at least the new free base amount, but I guess not.

Now when July 15th rolls around I'll just have to scramble to activate my newer Note 3's 50GB Dropbox promo to get another 2 years. I already activated it when my Note3 was was new, but it didn't stack while my SGS3 promo was active, so I'll have to do it again, either by backing my CM11 ROM and temporarily reinstalling TouchWhiz, or by just using another Dropbox APK hack (while still running CM11).

---------- Post added at 12:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:18 PM ----------

We're about to find out -- I think the SGS3 was among the first to have the 50GB promo 2 years ago, which is expiring now, so tons of people will be going through this. I don't think DropBox wanted to make it "easy" for people to keep their promos rolling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] chiraagt:
Ok.. So i was facing the same new phone old space.. So my 2 years expired! I sent a mail to the dropbox team and they replied back saying the same email address cannot receive the same free (48GB) bonus twice.. So I simply registered the account from my new Samsung phone and now have the same deal except with a different email address.. So sadly everything will have to upload again from my camera uploads but atleast it is working!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
Recently after I restored my latest Nandroid, I've noticed that my screen flickers when I wake the phone. I press the power button to wake the phone and it flashes really bright for maybe half a second, then goes back to the normal brightness I had it set at. Autobrightness isnt on. Ive also Nandroid back to another nandroid and its still doing the same thing. I made sure to wipe dalvik, cache, and factory reset before restoring the nandroid to avoid any issues.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Are you using a custom kernel?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
No im not. Its the Goosh rom with stock kernel
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
I'm always giving you answers you don't like, but try a different ROM. Particularly one that's based on MD5.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
I think this one is based on md5. And I can get an entire day of battery on this Rom... this screen flickering didn't start until I restored a nandroid. But it was never doing it on the nandroid version I restored.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Ah, you are correct. I was thinking it was based on LJC.

I recommend doing a full wipe and starting fresh to see if you can reproduce the issue. Obviously, you will keep your nandroid handy for restoration later.

What recovery and version are you using?

You also might try flashing stock MD5 kernel (regardless if Goosh comes with it or not). You can find it in the OP of S3Rx. Try reflashing it. This stuff is usually kernel related.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
But why would it be doing this on both nandroids I have backed up, when those nandroids never did it in the first place?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Backup corruption was my theory. I'm just going to guess you're using TWRP. That's why I suggested reflashing the stock kernel, and if that doesn't work, try a clean install. Then attempt to replicate the issue.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
I reflashed the Rom and its still doing it sometimes. It's only when the phone sits untouched for more than maybe 10 mins. Not if I turn the screen off and right back on. None of the voltage settings were ever changed from when it was flashed. I never had this problem until I tried to nandroid back. And now I still have it on a clean flashed rom
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Maybe try this:

Full wipe

Odin flash root66 firmware

Reflash your rom
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
What's route 66 firmware? What does it do and how do I use it in odin Why am I even having this problem now?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Aerowinder gave you the most likely cause already. Chances are we won't find out for sure. Best we can do is try to help fix it. Root66 is the stock firmware, pre-rooted. Go to my firmware thread for links to downloads and to the thread.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
So would I need to reroot my phone?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Only if you want to. I assumed you'd want to keep root. Flashing the root66 firmware allows you to flash the firmware but stay rooted. You could flash stock and then reroot, but its just extra hassle.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
Can you post a link to the thread so I can read how to do it and find more information?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Stickied in development, linked in my sig.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
do I need to unzip the root66 firmware before placing it in the PDA section of ODIN? Or does it need to be zipped when choosing a file in the PDA section? And once this is flashed, I flash over it with my rom of choice?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
You put the .tar.md5 in Odin.

You will reflash your ROM, but before you do that, make a backup of root66 and restore it to see if you can replicate the flickering issue.

If you can't replicate, flash your ROM, and repeat previous step.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
Maybe I need to wipe something else? When I flashed I wiped cache, dalvik, and factory reset. But when the rom started, some of my pictures and files that werent on the external sdcard were still there. Should I wipe EMMC?

What did root66 do exactly? I flashed it thru Odin just now and it started, but its got all my old apps and settings from the rom I was on, plus all the junk stuff that came with the stock rom. Did I do this right? My old wallpaper is still there. And the screen still flickers when I press the power button to wake it up, so the problem wasnt fixed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
Managed to flash back to a way earlier nandroid. Waiting to see if the screen still flickers...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Stock firmware (root66 included), does not wipe data. But everything else of note is overwritten. Bootloader, baseband, etc.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
Screen still flickers sometimes when waking the phone up. The nandroid was the first one made after I flashed Goosh rom. This nandroid was saved on a different sd card from the other two backups I tried, so its not the corrupt backup theory. Im wondering could this issue be hardware related? Or a RAM/CPU issue? What else could be causing this? It never started doing this until I tried to flash an MMS apk. But I had flashed others and had no problems. Then I restored to a nandroid and it kept doing it. Been doing it ever since.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
All of the info you are asking about should be in the firmware thread. Just take a few minutes and read it. Most of what is not answered there is already answered in the other sticky threads.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
But im asking if it could be hardware related.... root66 didnt fix the issue. It was still flickering when I flashed root66...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
I was referring to your previous posts. Your last wasn't posted when I started my reply so never saw it. If you odin flashed to stock or root66, and factory reset, and its still happening, then yes it could be hardware related.

But at this point I have to ask if its really a big issue, or a minor annoyance? If everything else is functioning normally you may want to consider just leaving it be.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
If still flickering with root66, factory reset.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
But I did a factory reset when I restored this nandroid backup. I just want to make sure my hard drive isnt going to fry now that the screen randomly started flickering...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Factory reset after Odin flashing the stock or root66 firmware. Not the nandroid.

If its going to fail, there's not really anything you can do to prevent it. But the more you troubleshoot and flash stuff the faster it will happen if it is going to.

Again, if it still happens after going stock and factory resetting, it probably is hardware related. Does it mean its going to die tomorrow? Probably not. But there's no way to know. Keep your data backed up off the device if your concerned about it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
I still dont under stand what root66 would do. If I restored back to a nandroid that I did right after I first flashed this rom that didnt have the screen flickering issue, but now it does, clearly its not firmware related.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Didn't think the firmware was the issue. Best guess was it was either a bug in the ROM, a bug with an app you have that's on /data, or an issue with TWRP.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
It eliminates variables. If you don't want to do it then don't. But if you want to know how likely it is that its a hardware problem then you need to be full stock matching firmware. I have no way of knowing everything you have done to your device. I can't know that you've forgotten about something. All I do know is if you flash the firmware you will be running all known good matching firmware. Kernel modem system and then some. If you just flash a rom, or restore a nandroid I don't know that you've got a custom kernel, or one that isn't from tg thee same build as your underlying firmware.

And its just a given. If you're having issues you cannot resolve, flash full stock and at least you will have a better understanding as to whether or not you want to continue with the troubleshooting. If all you do is restore a nandroid, you are restoring any and all other things that could potentially cause your issue. What if aerowinder is correct and your nandroid is corrupt or its a recovery problem or even an app? How is restoring that going to do any good?

If any of his suspicions are correct, then once again, going with full stock firmware and a factory reset will put them to rest.

Thread Cleaned. Do not spam the boards to get 10 posts.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
I have noticed that it only doesn't do this when I am using auto brightness. But I find that auto brightness drains my battery faster than leaving brightness at zero. Not sure if this eliminates any variables.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slyr114:
I was just wondering if someone could help me out here. I would like to root, add a custom recovery, and then a custom rom. I have been browsing and reading these threads for a while and am still confused. I cant use flashtool because it says i dont have drivers installed but the driver package it says to use does not include the sp drivers. I am not sure exactly how i go about rooting this thing.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 4529355:
You need a Windows 7 PC, with Windows 8 its hard to install the ADB drivers.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tyrael_pl:
I installed Sony PC Companion 2.1 then flashtool which is working. Never had to install any additional drivers on win7 x64 ult. Root with DooMLord's method, install CWM and later try custom roms. Dont forget to start with backing up your software to .ftf file and backing up what you find valuable.
[Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slyr114:
i had to install the flashmode and flashboot drivers with my verification turned off in windows 8, got it to work!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] GuestK00340:
You know how liquid and beanstalk and other ROMs have the "dark" display option which gives a true black?? How do I achieve that on a ROM or stock? Is there an app for that?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pandacookie:
Some of you may have felt the frustration of trying to root using a computer running Windows 8.1. (I have Windows 8.1 RTM) I actually tried to root last night. Windows 8.1 would not recognize my HTC One while in fastboot, no matter what I tried. I Googled and tried EVERYTHING out there! I tried various drivers. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the device. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling the usb root hub through Device Manager. I even tried a virtual machine, which also didn't work. I also have a crappy netbook that dual boots Windows 7 and Ubuntu 12.04, but I was stubborn and was determined to try to figure it out.

Then the update came today. Since the update included a new HBoot, I was curious if that would make a difference. So I went into fastboot and hoped for the best. Lo and behold, the computer began installing the correct drivers! That was enough. And now I am happily rooted. Not S-Off yet, but that will come!

I am a happy Panda! :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] flex360:
nice.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] budeone:
That is real good news
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BrianBaker:
Well I've been rooting and un rooting and going into the bootloader on Windows 8.0 since the beginning. But happy it's working for you now.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pandacookie:
Oh, I know it worked in 8.0. But it didn't work in 8.1 for a lot of people, myself included. This wasn't just an HTC One issue, either. This was an issue for quite a few phones. But yeah, it works now. Either it's one crazy coincidence that this triggered 8.1 to recognize my HTC One in fastboot, or this update really makes a difference. :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BrianBaker:
Just re-read what you wrote and realized what you were saying.. My bad... Waiting for official 8.1 to roll out myself so I'm happy to know I won't have an issue.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pandacookie:
Oh it's all good! I hope what I discovered here helps a few people.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] budeone:
Yea, I had to reinstall 8.1 to 8.0 at work because no matter what I did it would not work..
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] husker91:
Yep can confirm! Fastboot finally works on 8.1!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Deleted member 2736178:
It always worked with 8 and 8.1 if you used the clockworkmod universal adb drivers :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] pandacookie:
They didn't work for me, though.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Deleted member 2736178:
strange, works for me and friends on windows 7, 8, 8.1 no problems.. anyway sounds like things are no longer an issue with 4.3 tho so good to hear :)
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mustang_52:
Perhaps it works for only people that updated to the newer hboot. I flashed the firmware without the new hboot and mine is still borked.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Barman49:
I think it does have something to do with the new hboot, I have the new firmware minus the hboot and it still isn't working for me.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] hardstuffmuc:
Oh man you are the best! Sorry to quote you again, but you safed my from doing my head in on the next wall as I couldn't get fastboot to be recognised either.

I have the HTC One Int'l though, but upgrading my Hboot 1.54 to Hboot 1.55 finally got my computer running W8.1 to download the correct drivers and fastboot is working now! What an easy fix LOL

However, latest HTC Sync drivers are necessary and best to upgrade them before upgrading to W8.1 which definetely needs the latest Hboot

I am also a very happpy Panda now! :D
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] EPayne123:
An issue arises for me when you begin to run an RUU and then it boots you into FastbootRUU mode after root and recovery installed, then it will not work properly.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mustang_52:
as I expected, upgrading to the newer hboot from 1.44 to 1.55 does allow windows 8.1 to install fastboot driver.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Original T:
does updating the hboot to 1.55 effect being s-off at all? i would like my windows 8 to work with my htc one but not if itll take away my s-off. :eek:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] liljthatbol:
Still don't work for me
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Kraizk:
Update to latest HBOOT and install HTC sync.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] waqasansari:
From where I can see this issue solved!

Sir, I have also the problem with my HTC Desire S. I need to downgrade it to again Ice Cream sandwich, but stuck in making my Windows 8.1 to accept fastboot. Kindly guide me through what have you done. I have currently 4.3.1 Jelly Bean Carbon ROM is installed

I need some help here please...

I am was running stock Rogers ROM with Clockwork recovery. Today 4.3 finally came out so I flashed stock recovery in order to install Rogers OTA. When the phone booted everything seemed fine, contacts, settings, etc, were there. Then I went into the gallery and noticed that my pictures are missing. So I checked sdcard folder and everything was wiped. Now if I check the usage on the phone it says that 26gb are taken but I cannot find where those files are, even with root explorer. Could that old partition be hidden somewhere for some reason?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenPope:
/data/media is where your data is, it's the old mount point for sdcard. The mount point has moved to /data/media/0.

Use a file explorer that requires root to have a look and carefully move the correct files and folders into the 0 directory.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pashunka:
Yes, that worked!

This was actually caused because 4.3 supports multiple users... So I moved my data from /data/media to /data/media/0
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mellofello808:
I must say I am a bit confused with all the conflicting news about the region locks. My subsidized preorder note 3 arrives tomorrow. I will be taking two extended trips abroad next year. If I buy a unlock code online, am I able to use the phone with a European, or New Zealand sim? It was so convenient to use my iphone 5 in Europe this year. I got a code from ebay, and poof worldwide unlocked. I ran through 6 gb of data, and it cost me around $75 without shopping around. I will be really bummed if I am forced to pay ATTs rape prices. Their highest plan is only 800mb for $120, and $1 per minute. 6 GB will run me a mortgage payment if I am roaming.

Is there any hope for a workaround on the horizon?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
All the U.S. phones have the carrier's locks vs. Samsung's region lock. They should all (theoretically) behave like their predecessors. Only direct-to-consumer "unlocked" phones have been equipped with region lock and, so far, only for two regions (the EU and Americas). Technically, you don't have a Samsung phone you have an AT&T phone created to their specs by Samsung. I'm in the same boat as you so we'll soon see what AT&T's got in store for us.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mellofello808:
So defeating ATTs lock should make it a world phone? Hopefully there will be some unlock codes floating around.

works just fine with the Butterfly S :)

there arent a lot of apps yet and there are quite a few that are paid (which i'm fine with, as long as the price is right)

i get all the notifications i want on my watch, Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, calls, sms, i can even set who i want to get notifications from, so the watch doesnt get flooded

there also is a call handling app that can replace the stock one, adds functionality like reject call and send an sms. i've mailed the developer and asked if he can add reject call with whatsapp message, he's going to look into it

feel free to ask questions, will answer as quick and thorough as i can :)
[HTC Butterfly S] rannicus:
can it tell the time?
[HTC Butterfly S] gsusx:
Hi I have a couple of questions.

1. whats it like in direct sunlight, I remember the first one being horrible ....

2. When you get a notification does it pop up on the screen or do you just get like a badge notification. What I mean is say, for example, you got an sms, does the sms message pop up straight away so you can read it there and then, or do you just get a badge on the sms icon with a (1) notifying you that you have a new sms.

If you could let me know that'd be great :)

Cheers
[HTC Butterfly S] JarlSX:
1 - the screen has 3 states:

- standby, shows the time, without using backlight, readable inside, in direct sunlight it gets even more readable. unreadable in the dark.

- backlight on, shows the time with backlight, good for low light conditions or when its fully dark, easy to read in sunlight as well

- menu/apps/messages with backlight, same as the second one

so yes, its no problem using it in direct sunlight, both with or without backlight

2 - messages are displayed as text, with a little icon so you know if its a sms, mail, twitter, facebook, etc

ofcourse for longer messages, it wont show all the text, but it will show a text or twitter message in full (so 144 characters is the max)

there are some things that could be improved ofcourse

-i would like to be able to set the timeout for the backlight

-same thing for how long messages are displayed

-the remote camera app doesnt work, or doesnt work with the Butterfly S

-more watch faces

i will contact Sony Support to ask them about those issues
