Just logged on from my mobile, made an account and got my 50 gb.

cool got the 50gb too , just installed box app on my xps and got a popup about it after creating the account

Is there actually a Desktop application for this that integrates with Finder/Explorer? It seems like you have to upgrade and pay a monthly fee to use the official one on Mac/Windows ... which kind of makes 50 GB useless.

maybe this gladinet thing would do the trick, although I only use my box account to backup things from my phone.

I got 50gb last week?

normace
I had existing account with Box.net and once i downloaded the app and logged in from my Xperia S, it automatically upgraded my account to 50 GB... but box sync is still asking for upgrade...

Looks like it could be OK, but really would prefer something official. It turns out you can just mount it as a network drive https://support.box.com/entries/20359428-does-box-support-webdav-or-ftp-connections. This seems to work quite well, but since it is a network drive it is noticeably slower than SkyDrives implementation.
There is a max file size of 100 MB, so this doesn't actually seem to be that useful as a backup solution. If you are just backing up your phone then this is probably OK...but the other free solutions like Dropbox seem like better alternatives.

Is this a UK thing? Im in the states so it may not work?

I emailed them to look into this.

Not that I know of. I just got the code in the HP newsletter.
No longer available.
Boo... yeah, I just saw this and tried it. Limit has been reached. I hadn't even heard of the app until now. Is it worth the $4.99?? I may just buy it =)

Too bad, looks like the code has reached capacity.
Edit: looks like others found that out before me... I had to upgrade to 3.02 first before it'd show.
I didn't feel like I needed it, besides it needs a decent computer as well, mine is becoming outdated.
kinda of annoyed at this today because I just bought it yesterday...lol...

Amazon app store

Anyone have issues with Amazon app store? Mine wont log in using my current email. It keeps saying invalid. Its done this since cm7 release. Anyone get it to work?
Sent from my HP Touchpad using Tapatalk
Mine gave me issues also. I had to go on the website with my computer and mess with the account settings before it would let me log in. Did you fresh install it or restore a backup?
Sent from my HP Touchpad using xda premium
Mine has worked perfectly in both alpha 1 and 2.1.
i have used amazon app store without problem or doing anything special on both alphas.
I had the same problem, you have to go into your amazon account settings and deauthorize the devices there, as it has a 25 device limit and each rom install counts as one so they fill up quickly.

This is what I had to do as well. Apparently each new Rom I've used on any device I've owned counted as another authorized device. Drove me insane trying to log into the amazon appstore app. Logged into the amazon website and managed my authorized devices. No issues logging on since.
Really? Wow, didn't know that. Thank you

[Q] 25GB of additional Dropbox space?

I already have 18.8GB of free space from Dropbox from referrals and tesing software. When I get my new HTC EVO 4G LTE, will Dropbox give my an additional 25GB of storage for a total of 43.8GB of storage? If not, I guess I will use a different email address. Anyone know?
Thanks
The leaked users guide says it will give you and additional 23gb (in addition to the 2 free gb they give everyone)
It has a time limit of 24 months too (fyi).
XDA Since 2007...
Is there a source for this?
yes it will give you ~40gigs for 2 years...at least it did for the apk that was released on xda until dropbox figured it out. i currently have 22.8GB on dropbox and it went up to almost 50 for a few days
What happens at the end of two years if you fill up all that data? Do they delete it all? Hold it hostage unless you pony up for a subscription?
Sent from my blah blah blah blah
ok, more dropbox space is always great so I'm asking for a link about how to go about doing so

Install the Dropbox app on the phone & login. That easy.
Better yet, go to an AT&T store & over to one of the HTC One X active models & try it today.
Just remember to uninstall it from the display phone afterward.

No, I believe the extra 25GB will be allocated when you register your account (new or existing) through the actual device.

Can you load movies and movies to drop box or only docs. Never used it before.

I got my new EVO yesterday and I logged into Dropbox as I was setting it up. I never got my extra 25GB. As a note: I already have the HTC 3.5 3 GB added for 1 year that I did a few months ago. Does this make a difference? Who do I contact if I want to complain. Do I try to remove Dropbox from my new EVO and re-login again? HELP!

I was having the same problem. Here is what I did:
- Go to www.dropbox.com/gs and make sure the steps were completed (mine already were).
- In the dropbox app, go to menu>settings>turn on camera upload>untick "upload existing photos and video (unless you want to upload them)> select the green "turn on" button.
-Wait about a minute until your account reflects the 23GB upgrade.
- Go back in and turn off camera upload (unless you want to use this feature. I personally use Google+ for this).
Nope, didn't work. Does anyone have the original Dropbox APK from the EVO LTE ROM? I want to so this from scratch.

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I tried your suggestion, and it didn't give me my 25G. I'm not sure what I need to do to get it to show up. Let me know if anyone has any more suggestions. Thanks.
It took a day for mine to show up...sporting 82 GB!!!!! too much space...willing to rent some out lol

[Q] Whatsapp trial account

Has anyone bought the extended version? I've only 10 days left
I have. It has the same features, just extends the service for 1 more year.
I think it's a good messenger app, it's feature-rich and also lots of my friends use it, so in my opinion is a good investment :silly:
What is your concern?

Hi,
I think purchase is the best option to get WhatsApp.
My account finishes soon as well.
How much they want anyway?
Good night.
Well... here's a tip... but its definitely not legal.... its how i got my subscription extended from free (2011) to 2021....
1. Have a jailbroken iphone/ipad
2. have an active whatsapp account on your android
3. Grab a free copy of whatsapp and side load it onto your ipad/iphone (not gonna teach you how to sideload apps on ipad/iphone, its totally illegal)
4. Run whatsapp on ipad/iphone... key in your phone number for your android phone.... If you are on ipad, it will tell you that whatsapp is not available on your ipad... if its iphone, it will work fine... dont worry, either case, it should get your service extended by 10 years....
5. Whatsapp will assume that you have purchased their $0.99 whatsapp version from the itunes store and automatically extend your service by 10 years....
*it may or may not work now, but its worth a try... thats how i accidentally gotten my service extended by 10 years...
Just buy the APP!
I never get this.It is one of the most usefull and popular apps of current times.
U guys use it every day then why cant u pay 1$ For it.I mean its like buying a can of coke.
Why do stuff like that ?Support the developers!

It's just 1 dollar, buy it, its worth it bigtime
Well, on android, its not a dollar... its $1.99 / year.... on my ipad, i sideloaded whatsapp only cos i thought i could use it on my ipad (which i realise that you cant find it on the app store, hence the side loading experiment)... Well, the experiment turned up some unexpected surprises, which i just shared... lol...

It's 99ct per year. I think it's disgusting to use a service and then trick the devs out of the ridiculously low fee for their awesome app.
Especially when you spent hundreds of dollars on a phone without a second thought.

How to activate 4 month youtube premium?

I follow the instructions to get YouTube Premium under my account - however only a 1 month trial offer is available. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong? I also went to youtube.com/premium/samsung and get the same result - 1 Month. Please advise.
Thanks,
I believe if you ever had the 3 months free offer before, it won't let you use it again on the same email/I'd.
It was like the free 1 year onedrive offer that you would get with Samsung devices.
If you used it once it wouldn't let you get another unless you use a different email.

i currently have Youtube Music premium, it only shows 1 free month trial.
you right, i logged in Youtube with a different email, it shows 4 free month trial, i thinking of going this route. i love to save money, 4 months free is like 40$ for Youtube Music.
ah ok. But I don't think that I ever signed up to any free trial in my case, so not sure what is happening here.

I know that when you first boot the app it offers 1 month...but I believe if you go into settings and select Get Youtube Premium it offers more. What's weird is that I thought it was 4 months as well. Maybe the 2 offers stack? I wont be redeeming the offer since I already have an account with premium.
