ends soon!
I use Lookout Premium, but no harm in having another great app for protection if you can get it for free!
Cheers!
OP - Thanks for the heads up on this! Free is always good when its legit!
cool app dude...
How do we register? Was there paperwork in the box? Aorry my box is miles away from me right now.

Open the app and sign in/register (as far as I can remember you need to register a new account). Wait for an email to arrive and there is a link saying something along the lines of "Get extra space free". Follow enough steps in there and you're good to go.
PS: Forgot to mention before Dropbox admit they have a limit of 16Gb at the moment unless you pay for an account
Don't need a new account. I have done it with my old one. Just use the app on the phone
worked on mine, i followed the instruction stated:
Take the Dropbox tour Complete!
Install Dropbox on your computer Complete!
Put files in your Dropbox folder Complete!
Invite some friends to join Dropbox Complete!
Install Dropbox on your mobile device Complete!
if you do this you'll see that your space will be updated to 48GB
What have i missed, sounds like we get free dropbox out of the box? Can anyone clarify?

I didn't do the install Dropbox on your computer and install Dropbox on other computers you use
Ok can someone explain to me this. So we get the 48 gig for 24 months, does this means after 24 months we have to pay or else losing the file we uploaded?
Thanks,
Drew
I am almost certain the 2 year limit will work like most other similar services, after the two years they won't delete your items you just won't be able to upload anything else until your back below your limit.

Sweet! Didnt even read about this, was out of the country detached from the world for 7months so soon as i landed i just looked for the highest specs phone and thought XDA would do the rest for me.
Is the info/paper work in the box?
I got a confirmation e-mail about my free 50GB of Dropbox storage a few seconds after logging into the app on my S III.
This takes my free Dropbox account up to 105GB in total! (previously got 50GB of extra storage by logging into Dropbox app from a Sense 4.0 ROM on my HTC Sensation).
To trigger the free space you just need to log in and upload something from your phone.

I didn't need to upload anything to get it. I had to do some of the Getting Started tasks though.
Brilliant, cheers lads
I've done some searching and there's a few apps that are generally recommended in threads like these (like Lookout and SeekMyDroid). But none of the apps mention whether or not you can find the phone using maps. I want to be able to go to the site for the app, sign in or enter my phone number, and have a map pop up displaying where the phone is. Do any apps do that?
I believe Cerberus does this.
Avast is an awesome security app with great tracking features. Best of all, its free. :good:
Seekdroid is my recommendation

Just looked up Seekdroid in the store, looks awesome. $3 is worth it, IMO. Thanks!
Eh, just read the description and the features I want most require a monthly subscription. Pass.

This is the one I see most recommended.
Note 2 - Nexus 7 - Charge - Player 5.0 - Fascinate

Read twice, flash onc
Avast's anti theft suite is second to none, especially if you're rooted.

Cerberus allows you to do much more than just track your phone. Remote wipe, remote lock, post a message on the screen, take photos (front and back cameras) record audio, and more. Give it a shot, it works great.
Avast! Mobile Security also offers a Theft monitoring service that you can set up as well. I have it and I highly recommend it. If you lose your device, you can have it preset to sound an alarm that you can activate from online so anyone in earshot of the device will hear it going off. Additionally, you can remotely wipe the device (it can even be done automatically in certain instances if you want it set that way). Best of all, it's FREE! Here is a link to it:

Lookout works pretty good as well.

I am looking for some info on a good and easy to use lost phone app. I would like to install it on my phone in case the need ever arises. Any suggestions?
I heard that lookout is good. Android and CM launched some tracking system too, but I haven't heard of any feedback yet

Cerberus is great but will you get him/her an activation code???? So.. prey is fully free

I used to use "Lookout Security & Antivirus", now I just use "Android Device Manager".
Cerbreus. Has a lot of fun features, like taking pics and turning on alarm.
Thankfully I havent used it (yet?)
Hopefully this is in the right place, just found this and figured maybe it'd help enlighten a few people about Knox...

Yep, crapware that Samsung pushed so they could say they support enterprise.
In reality to use it you need to subscribe to one of the services that manage it.
It cannot be managed through exchange.
The majority of people don't need it .
The big issue with enterprise is email security. Touchdown provides the isolation very nicely.
It's too bad really. The Verizon S4 isn't half as fun as it could be between knox and the bootloader

So, if one is rooted, can the Knox crapware be safely removed from the phone?
I'm by no means a pro at all this stuff so maybe someone else would know for sure but I froze everything to do with Knox with TiBu

You can freeze the app stuff but they still have a flag either in a flash memory or a one time programmable memory that records when you attempt to do something unapproved with the bootloader.
So what if the knox flag is tripped? Why do I care if I am not planning on returning it for warranty? Is there a reason beyond that?

It's not the planned stuff I worry about. It's the unplanned stuff.
But is there any reason that we know of currently? Does it disable 4g? does it brick your phone? Does it prevent your phone from receiving future updates?
I must be missing something. All this hubbub can't just be about warranty.
Titanium Backup lists 4 "knox" apps:
KLMS Agent 1.0
Knox 1.0
Knox Notification Manager 1.0
Knox Store 1.0
Are they safe to freeze and/or uninstall?

If you have a custom Kernel you have to uninstall or delete them or you will get this weird message. I copied mine onto my sd card and my computer, uninstalled on my phone. Just as back up
