No 50gb dropbox for verizon

It doesn't look like Verizon customers will be getting the 50gb of dropbox space. :(

"Which carriers are not participating in the promotional deal?

Some carriers have opted out of promotions on phones otherwise eligible. Among those not currently participating are the following carriers:

United States:

Verizon

AT&T: Only some AT&T devices are eligible for the promotion. Note 4 AT&T devices are eligible for 48 GB of space for six months. Other AT&T devices are not eligible.

Japan:

NTT DoCoMo"

Thanks for the tip. I'm a big Kindle reader and I like the one free book per month. But, when I go into the Kindle app I can't figure out how to download a book for free. Any ideas on this?

---------- Post added at 08:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:15 AM ----------

Ok, there's something I'm not getting here. I go to the web page, I log in and I'm taken to the Samsung Apps store. I select an app, say Autodesk Sketchbook for Galaxy, and it tells me I get the pro features for free. When I click on "How to Get" it says to download it on the device. So, I go to the Play store and download the app. Then when I try to get the "Pro" features it wants me to pay $3.99.

Is there a Samsung app store for this stuff? If so, I can't find it.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] chino0131:
Look in the widgets for galaxy apps widget....there are two. Add the galaxy gifts widget to homescreen and click. It should take you to the Samsung app store where you can add the apps.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] TabGuy:
Ah, thanks. The first thing I did when I got my Note 4 was install the Apex launcher so I never even saw that widget on the Samsung launcher.

I'm good now.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] bsweetness:
It's really strange that the only way to access the Galaxy Apps Store out of the box is through a widget. I didn't want to go through the hassle of adding the widget every time I wanted to go check something out (mostly for updates to Samsung apps and for Nokia Here Maps), so I installed the Galaxy Apps Store APK from Samsung. It can be found here on your phone (if you click the link on a computer, you'll get a site designed for desktop usage that doesn't have the link to the .apk). Installing this will put a shortcut in your app drawer.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 General] h3ck:
Yes there is a Samsung galaxy app store. http://content.samsung.com/mobile/us/contents/aboutn/appsMobileIntro.do

Also, for the book you just get the Kindle for Samsung app from store and then log in and get a free book.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volrus:
I've found several threads, but none of which seem to help. I can't get my exchange account to "push" my email. I've turned on every option known to man to allow this to happen, but it just isn't happening without me having to refresh. Push works with my other two non-exchange accounts and it worked fine with my old HTC One M7. Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pss3054b:
I am having the same issues (exchange server not pushing email, have to manually refresh) plus phone is very warm and battery drain since the email is not getting pushed and I think the email app is trying to sync with the exchange servers and draining the battery. But email works (exchange push) with my previous phone galaxy s4 update to 4.4.4 with no problems
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volrus:
So, can anyone help us?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozaghloul:
I get this problem a lot with gmail, yahoo, and hotmail. Sometime it works, sometimes it doesn't. The only good news is that the new Gmail app (coming soon) will be able to handle multiple accounts from Yahoo, Hotmail, and Exchange. So hopefully that will be a better app than Samsung's mail.

PS> If you set it to retrieve every X minutes it will work, but it will waste more battery than push.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] volrus:
Ok, it's been a couple of weeks, so I thought I would ask again. Does anyone have a suggested solution to this? Am I the only one having problems with email not being "pushed" to my phone via ActiveSync? In doing a google search I see that this has historically been an issue, but there is no solution?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozaghloul:
Been using the new Gmail 5.0 app, it handles multiple accounts nicely. It doesn't use push, but checks every 15 mins. Overall I like it more than the Samsung email app, so I am using Gmail now. I deleted all the accounts from the Samsung app. I've also noticed an improvement in battery life (subjective).
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lokibjensen:
I have the same issue

Hi all, it's been a LONG time since I've been over here. I recently got the Note 4 as a Christmas present from the wifey, she knows what I like. Probably helps that I've had every Note so it's a safe guess on her part. Yesterday I received the push update from AT&T which took it up to 4.4.4. Well, since that my push email works when it wants to. It will eventually push it but it could be anywhere between 15 minutes and 2 hours. This is unacceptable for me as I own a custom networking company that has jobs in all timezones and I need to get my emails immediately.

I have done all of the regular "troubleshooting" steps including wiping my phone and starting from scratch with nothing installed but the stock email. I even changed the SIM. All of the push/sync settings are enabled......ALL of them.

I would LOVE to use my Touchdown app which I basically keep on my phone now for the server search feature but don't use it for notifications because it doesn't show the email content on my Gear S. The only app I know of that shows that email content on the Gear S is the stock email app (PLEASE CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG).

Has anybody found a resolution to this? I haven't rooted my phone since my Note 2 but before that I'd been hacking them since these threads at XDA were WinMo only. I'll gladly put a new ROM on if I can get my email working and pushed to my Gear S again. Does anybody have any recommendations that may save me some time poking around?

Thanks for listening to my long winded story. I've been told I write too much. Happy holidays!

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mty msi:
I have no problems with my MS Exchange account pushing the new emails. I remember reading in the MS Exchange set up instructions that if you set it up as a POP rather than an Exchange account the calendar & task functions will be disabled. Knowing that an Exchange account can be set up as one or as a POP email account I would make certain you have it set up as an Exchange account and not a POP account. Not sure if that has anything to do with the push feature but I thought it would be worth mentioning.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pappcam:
My Exchange email through the Samsung email app works fine and push email works. It's worked on every Samsung phone I've had on every rom I've tried so I guess I'm of no help.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] murfgrass:
Sprint Note 4/Exchange 2010

I have also been seeing inconsistent results with exchange push email as to the timing of received messages. I was also seeing the battery drain issues associated with exchange push. Although I noticed the battery drain was worse while using cellular data as opposed to wifi. I have only been using the samsung email app with stock NK2, with Hybrid X, and BobCat roms. Same results on all roms. I have repeatedly gone thru the steps of deleting phone thru webmail, delete account on phone after force stop of exchange and email apps and resetup, added account thru email app instead of thru accounts. If I saw it in a forum I tried it. I do primarily use wifi whenever possible. I did confirm it was only exchange push causing my issues as I could set to 15 minutes or manaual and not see the battery drains.

i also had a Nexus 6 along with other devices prior to this phone and push worked just fine.

So yesterday I took the plunge and loaded MailWise. My phone is now using push and is working great. As it has on other phones/devices I have had. Not seeing huge battery drain even on cellular data. Yes, it is possible to see data icon stop running constantly on cellular data after all with this phone. 6 hours off charger today and still at 90%. Prior I would have been pushing 60% range. Receiving email notifications on phone either prior to my desktop outlook or at the same time. Which is normal. Specifically tested by sending messages to my exchange account using gmail and yahoo while having desktop outlook open and running.

I did notice thru webmail that my device now shows up as Android instead of SAMSUNGN910P

Hope this can help others
[One (M8) Accessories] neilmopar:
Hey,

I have been looking the Tech 21 mesh case but have a couple questions directed to anyone who has had experience with the case.

Is the textured back more or less resistant to scratches than a traditional tpu case? This is a pretty big point with me because I have owned a couple of clear back plastic cases that just end up getting scratched up and looking bad.

Also,

Would the case interfere with a tempered glass screen protector?

Thanks ahead of time!
[One (M8) Accessories] Chris_c81:
I had this case briefly. From what I remember, pretty sure the back is not textured. It's smooth. It didn't interfere with my class protector.

I sent it back though. Far too big and bulky for my liking. I didn't have it long enough to answer the scratch resistance question but I'd say it's more resistant then hard plastic cases but not indestructible.
[One (M8) Accessories] XperiaNexus333:
I have found that the tempered glass screen protectors have not interfered with any of my 3 cases so far. They are thicker than I expected though.
[One (M8) Accessories] boofhead:
i have had one of these cases for a few weeks now and i am very happy with it. i have the mimi feather glass screen protector and it fits perfectly. i have tested the case out (dropped out of pocket onto tiles yesterday) and no problem at all. highly recommended.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] GerardNL:
I’m like many others, a happy user of Helmi’s ROM and read this forum everyday to see what clever things people have come up with.

Recently, my cell phone provider came out of the dark ages and is providing GPRS. It’s even free at the moment! (Even though it’s very slow).

This is all nice for on the road and in town, but when I am at home or in the office, it want to connect via WiFi and being able to access web pages a LOT faster then via GPRS. I can connect to WiFi while I am connected to GPRS, but when I try to open a page with PIE, it uses the GPRS connection, not my WiFi (the difference is easy to tell since it’s so slow).

On one of the previous ROMs there was a little utility to track the GPRS settings and it had a disconnect option. However, this program is no longer included in the Helmi’s 1.4 and I have not found any other option to turn off GPRS then by using the “Flight mode” program to disconnect from the cell phone network and back on again. But that is of course a slow and strange solution.

What I would like is this: When WiFi is available, it will go via WiFi, when WiFi is off, it should use GPRS to get a web page. Is there is a way to prioritize the internet connections?

Vijay555 has a command-line utility to disconnect GPRS with and I’m going to give that a try, but maybe someone has a different solution where the 2 connection can exist at the same time….

Thanks in advance.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] kerio:
Are u referring to http://www.gb-soft.cz/XDAII/ this little app?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] fraser:
Yes, it's built into the TCP/IP protocol. You are looking for something called "interface metric" which is a number. IIRC, the lower the metric, the lower the "cost" i.e. the better the link is. This can be set manually on PCs. No idea how to do it on the phone, probably a registry tweak. The following makes sense:

1 Wifi

10 ActiveSync

100 GPRS

The numbers are whatever you want them to be.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] GerardNL:
Yes, that's the one. Thx!. It's a very tiny program, but it has the option to add the "disconnect" button to the pop-up bubble. Maybe that is just a registry setting... I will have to look into that one. If so, then that registry option is going to be a standard for me...

I totally agree and it does make a lot of sense. I've been snooping around in the registry, but did not find anything that I expect that has to do with the "cost" of a connection. So, that might mean that extra keys need to be added if it would be possible at all and that's a bit out of league.

However, I can't imagine that other people not facing the same problem, so maybe the solution is in a totally different direction??
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] fraser:
I've looked around myself with no success. It must be there because it's a part of the TCP spec. Very odd.

Is there any way to get a "netstat -r" out of the phone? vxUtil and vxIpConfig don't seem to do it, but the output would confirm that the device knew about iface metrics.

I've just learned to live with the fact that you cannot control this. Not that it matters for me, GSM and GPRS doesn't work for me on the 3.5 roms anyway; some sort of carrier issue.

PocketCMD not working

I've tried to install the PocketCMD program, but whenever I start it, I get the below error:

"CMD Cannot start. There are too many console windows open. Please close some console applications and try again"

This even happens when I just restarted my BA. Does PocketCMD work for you?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] kerio:
Its working like a charm, I've Helmi 1.4 vanilla one. Maybe its cause of some installed program?

I recieved the same message as you - but one soft reset and then disappeared.

Also I've NETf v.2 installed - not sure if its required or not?

http://www.symbolictools.de
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] GerardNL:
Found out more about the network metric

Today, I noticed that there is also a Pocket CMD icon on of the Settings tabs. Once I started that and flipped through the pages, Pocket CMD starts!

The strange thing is that after another reset, I get the same error message again and the above trick doesn't work.

While it was working, I got these results:

With "netstat -r" (or "route print") I've figured out that my GPRS interface has a metric of 50.

And when connected to ActiveSync the metric is 30 (but the GPRS gets disconnected)

The WiFi interface has a metric of ?? (Haven't gotten that one yet), but obviously >50 or we would not be having this discussion....

I've done some searching on the internet (with the keywords: Pocket PC network metric interface) and you find a lot of conversion tools for metric to imperial, but did find something interesting on this page:

From: http://www.lockergnome.com/nexus/it/category/troubleshooting/page/3/ (by Marc Erickson)

-------------------------------

Below is the syntax to add a new route:

ROUTE ADD MASK METRIC IF

Here’s an example:

ROUTE ADD 192.168.1.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.9 METRIC 2 IF 2

In this example, 192.168.0.9 is the gateway for all traffic to the destination 192.168.1.0/24. The metric is 2, and the interface number is 2.

When you add a route using this syntax, the route doesn’t persist across restarts of the computer. To make a route persist, add the -p switch to the command, as shown below:

ROUTE -p ADD 192.168.1.0 MASK 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.9 METRIC 2 IF 2

To delete a route, use the DELETE keyword and the destination address. Here’s an example:

ROUTE DELETE 192.168.1.0

----------------------

So, it is (should) be possible to manually add and remove routes and set the metrics of multiple connections. Especially with the "-p" option this looks very interesting. Since all that we need is that the metric of WiFi is lower then the one of GPRS and we're in business.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] kerio:
Have you ever worked with ROUTE command (see the windows help)? It shouldn't be difficult to set the proper metric - just make your GPRS connection and analyse routing table. Then make persistent changes.

Or post here your entries of routing table.

=============================================================================

For the WiFi, I'm using the 192.x.x.x range and the 10.x.x.x is used by the phone company. As you can see, the metrics are correct: WiFi has a metrics of 30 and GPRS of 50, so when you open a page and both connections are active it should route via the WiFi as these 2 lines would suggest:

Destination Netmask GatewayAddress Interface Metric
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.3 30
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.41.247.141 10.41.247.141 50

So, why doesn't this work? As it seems to me, the metric is not the problem that the "cheapest" route is not choosen. I have been thinking what else could cause this, but have not found anything logical yet.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] fraser:
Interesting. I've been quiet on this as I can't get PocketCMD to work. Locks up my phone.

What I would test next is test that all routes are active. Connect to GPRS and use xvUtil tracert (or pocketcmd if it has it) to determine where packets for the following destinations:

1) www.google.com

2) 192.168.0.1 (you router)

3) 10.41.247.141 (GPRS router, may change per connection)

Now, if you can hit (2) OK, the WiFi routing is mostly OK. As per your original problem, (1) should route via GPRS. The default route is represented by 0.0.0.0 here; this means that any subnets (e.g. google's) that aren't specifically mentioned in the table go that way. If you delete the GRPS 0.0.0.0 route via "route delete", then you should guarantee that the internet packets go via your wifi. However, this isn't an ideal solution as you would need to run this all the time. On the other hand, you might be able to write two scripts to manage this. The first would activate the wifi and delete the GPRS route. The second would deactivate the wifi and re-enable the route. As the GPRS route probably changes, this could be difficult. Would probably be easier to write this in Visual Studio as a compiled app in order to do the parsing, perhaps storing the GPRS route details in the registry for retrieval when it's re-enabled. Quite a lot of work for what is essentially a brute force fix. There must be a better way...
