Wait what? log on using an LG demo phone at a verizon store? why does that make sense?

Or you could just edit your build.prop to reflect an LG phone.

...

Technically you are detailing instructions on how to steal from Box.
Not cool

It is NOT stealing. Terms below explicitly state login on an lg device. I removed my posts because I dont like being branded a thief.
Do what you want. I just saw an opportunity to help people get a nice storage account.
Official terms:
Any new Box user will receive a free 50GB account when they download and log into Box for Android on any LG Android device. Existing Box users will receive the upgrade when they log into Box for Android on their device.The offer is valid from through 12/31/13.

worked perfectly, thx

Make sure you read the fine print because if it was like Samsung's offer the 50GB Dropbox is only for a limited time then you have to pay for the service.

This one is for life...really cool deal. You can even add text message verification of new devices. I used to think box was not as good as dropbox but im digging box way more now. I think it runs on amazons servers.

I still have 50gb from a couple of years ago. Might try this next time I'm at a verizon store. Going to start using box as my backup location for apps and data.

Just wanted to say thanks ... I stopped by the Verizon store on my home last night and now I have 50 gigs of storage ! Profit !
:good:

A lot of storage. The only downfall is that the max file size is 250 megs. It registers you as a personal account so no getting around that as far as I know.

use winrar to zip your files, small inconvenience for 50gb of cloud storage

If you had Dropbox before then you probably completed the task before hand.

has anyone on AT&T been able to get the 50GB or due to ATT not signing up, all ATT users with the Int SGS3 won't be able to get it. I thought it meant you won't get the 50gb by buying ATT version.

I have the international i9300 version and I received the 48GB and I'm on At&t in the states. Side note I also purchased a unlocked HOX and got 25GB for that too. I had to actually sign in to dropbox (desktop) before it activated, not sure why.
I already had a Dropbox acount, on purchase registered my old account for the 48GB space and 1 hour later i got a e-mail stating my account was upgraded.
Still did not experience any problems listed in this topic, hope it's here to stay..
weird, I have an i9300 but still havent gotten the email. how did you start the process. I have the app & just logged in. I only see 2.75gb
I contacted DropBox CS & found out that you can only activate the free 50gb once. If you bought a phone from someone that activated the 50gb then you are ass out like me.
Got 25Gb from my one-x which i returned due to its DOA + the 49gb from the s3 DDDD

Is there a way to know who got the drop box 48gb from a particular s3?I bought it from a retailer and still didn't get 48gb space.
Sent from my s3 running CM9
rock2707 if your phone was not sealed (those white stickers on the sides which read 'Do not accept if seal is broken) it might've been a return which they resold.
In that case contact your carrier and demand your 2year worth of storage.
While it's not imprinted on the box itself, I'd guess it is a selling feature.
However before you go in the store all guns blazing try the following:
Login through the stock Dropbox app on your phone (not the market version!),
upload a file and download a file.
Then reboot the phone, wait 5 minutes and check the storage again.
(This is to make sure that slow updates in the Dropbox system and the appcache itself are not the cause)
It was my bad.Took me 2 weeks to realise that i had an email in my other id to get the free dropbox storage.That was seriously lol.

Free 50GB of cloud storage from BOX for LG phones and Tablets

I ran across this while surfing the interwebs.. It says 50GB free for the life of the account for all LG phones and tablets.
http://ausdroid.net/2012/11/18/get-50-gb-free-storage-from-box-with-your-nexus-4/
Hopefully you guys can benefit from it. I haven't gotten an Optimus G yet unfortunately, so I can't.. (Edit) It does say you can pass along 50GB to other people too.. Maybe one of you guys can hook me up if it works for you...
Edit 2- Finally got an Optimus G..

From what I read it's good for the life of the box account... I actually couldn't find a work around from not having an LG device to get the 50GB.. So I walked into AT&T today, and wiped the display model Optimus G. Then I logged into my box acct. It gave me the 50GB, then I wiped it again, and rolled out.. haha

The FX45 is nice; the gas mileage has been okay, not stellar, but not terrible. Hell of a lot better than my fiance's S4, that's for sure.

Haha, Good luck with that one.. Only brand S4 I want is a Samsung. German cars tend to be over engineered & convoluted. They're nice if you don't work on them yourself. To each their own though. M45 will be on the auction block soon for a 6spd CTS-V instead.. same fuel mileage & another 200hp stock..

Free Lifetime Cerberus License

Get a free lifetime Cerberus license, a highly regarded security app. The catch is it must activated on your device today. The last time this was offered was back in February. So what are you waiting for? Go get it
Well thank you! Just picked this up, with a feee license as far as I can tell.
If you already have this on your phone and you only had the trial. Make another account on a different phone as the device ID will make it impossible to make another one on your phone. So make the account on another phone and you'll be golden.

Ummm...that is a good question. Idk if the purchase is tied to your Google acct and available to install on any device, or tied to a specific device ID. If I had to wager, I'd say you must buy a license for each device, but this is the first time I have installed it. Does anyone else know?

Had it on my Evo 3D and currently have it on my GN2.
Straight from the playstore:
Cerberus is a complete anti-theft application, the best protection you can get to recover your misplaced, lost or stolen Android device. This is a free trial for one week, then you can buy a lifetime license for a small price (2.99€) from within the application: no monthly or yearly fees, just a one-time payment. License is associated to your Cerberus account, if you have multiple devices you can use all of them (up to 5) with the same account.
Lol didn't read that far. Thanks
thanks for posting this, got an account for both my wife and I.
If the phone is lost, can the person that found the phone wipe data and install new rom to remove Cerberus?

If they install a new rom it'll remove Cerberus. If it's just a factory reset Cerberus won't be removed(if you're rooted).
Thanks for posting this. I just installed and got this set up on my phone. I installed it on my wife's phone through the Play Store website since she is at work right now. I'll set it up on her phone tomorrow when I can get my hands on it.
So just to understand, I login on her phone with my account, correct? That would be 2 of the 5 phones that can be set up, right? I'll buy the license in a few days.

10GB free before Sept. 26

I know how not having an ext. sdcard slot hurts, so here's something to help... sign into QuickOffice before Sept. 26 and you will receive an extra 10GB on your Google drive.

I installed it on my Nexus 7 (2013) but it seems to be only useful if you wish to live in the cloud.
I opened a word file in Quickoffice, edited fine, - but then could not save it back locally. I get an error "unable to save" for both save and save as.
Searching the web revealed a number of people who have the same problem and I didn't find a solution.....

Note 3 vs Nexus 6

Hey all
I love my note 3 but I am intrigued by the google fi service. Its only available for the nexus 6. That got me looking at the nexus 6. It looks like a great device plus its almost pure google. Anyo e have experience with the nexus 6 and how it stacks up to the note 3? I have read some comparisons but I like real world experience.
Thanks!
The thing that stops me with nexus devices is the no sd card.

that.
and for keeping my TB/TWRP backups safe. and extra ROMs if I need a change...
and I also have a fairly large music set, so an SD card helps keep my app space free. and for bringing large movie files with me, on a plane, to a friend's house, to work, etc.
frankly, as soon as I read "no SD card slot" in the otherwise GLOWING review, that's when I stopped caring.
it's too bad because it looks like a nice device.

The only "solution" I have to this is a thumb drive with an otg cable. But even that would be a headache compared to an sd card. Bummer, since no nexus devices will ever have an sd card. Or so I've read.

I'm "sure" there's a good reason for that, but to me it makes no fuggin sense.
a) phones seem to be limited to 32 or (Woah, lookout) 64. ridiculous. RAM is cheap. no reason for this.
b) seeing as manufacturers don't want to go bigger for some reason, and SD cards are cheap, and files get bigger every year... why the ffff... heck would they want to limit our storage to those now-considered-small numbers?
I'm so itching to get away from Sammy, but... everything else seems so "meh".

The s6 has no sd card either.
The only thing Google says is it's safer. To me, they want you to buy more Google drive space. But I hate the cloud payment model. It should be a one time payment. I don't pay 50 bucks every month for a 64gb card, so why should I pay that for cloud. Anyways, we hijacked the thread. My bad op!

Well dont be jealous yet. I tried to cancel my order. Sprint already has the nexus packed in a box waiting for ups. I placed the order about midnight and called at 8am lol. They said I will be able to bring the unopened box to a corporate sprint store for a full refund.
Why may u ask am i returning it?
I am going to get the 64gb nexus when i get my invite for the google fi plans. I didnt realize i could buy a phone on the early stages of the plan rollout. Im looking forward to have access to sprint, tmobile towers. They both have good coverage here.

I have 2 lines both smart phones. 1400 min unlimited data and messaging. Out the door for 150/mnth. I was with verizon but the screwed me over with a warranty phone. They send me a phone with a cracked screen then said i broke it cause there was no way they send out a broken phone. So they charged me 300. I ported to sprint the next month after getting nowhere with verizon. Sprint also has been getting better coverage over the past year around me. [emoji1]
