dropbox storage is cloud storage, or otherwords - its located in dropbox servers not your phone.

No, I rooted a few nights ago, and I still have all my extra storage. I just wish it was not only for 24 months.

Lol, I know its cloud storage but people were flashing the HTC one s software on the HTC sensation and were able to get the 25 gigs of storage because it had sence 4.0. Dropbox found out about this and took the storage away. I guess i should have asked if we will still have the storage after we remove sence because the 25gigs was intended for all device with sence 4.0

yes, once you have activated it, its there for 2years.. Do what you wish with the phone, your storage space will always be there.

I activated dropbox after i rooted it and put a sense stripted down rom in it. Works fine

even if you change to a ROM that doesn't have Dropbox preloaded on it then you always can download the app from Google Play Store..

I'm sorry this might be off topic, but does anyone have a clue about what happens with dropbox after the 24 months? Does the space just disappear or do we pay for it?

I would think it would disappear because we didn't have to enter any credit card info to sign up for it so they can't automatically charge you

They will inform you about it, You can either pay for it, Or your stuff will be gone and your space will be given to someone else

Dropbox will not delete your files. Any storage you have over your pre-HTC bonus limit will become read-only, and you will not be able to add (or possibly modify) anything until you remove the files to the limit you had before. Or obviously you could pay for an upgrade and keep full functionality.

I'm sure i'll forget what you said in two years, but that's good info

Slightly off-topic, too, but I was wondering what would happen if I sell my One S?
Would the new owner be able to get the additional storage, too?
Or in other words and a bit more general: What exactly is the additional storage linked to? The SIM? The phone number?

Are you supposed to make a new dropbox account? I used the one I had previously and it is only showing 2.5gb available and I've had the phone for over two weeks now.
Edit: I don't think 2.5173gb is supposed to be the 25. Is it just displaying strange?

Hah that is weird.. maybe log into the website if you haven't already and check what it says there? How much did you have before? mine didn't show up until I installed the Dropbox app on the phone, if that helps too.

After logging in, I see it is definitely 2.5gb and I have had dropbox updated since I got the phone. I am still on the same amount as when I signed up.
Edit: Wow, so you actually have to earn the 25gb from dropbox and it's not just given. Good job, HTC.

You're absolutely right. It is by no means difficult but it isn't exactly just given like what's portrayed. That's my only gripe.

Why the "data-hungry" label? Anybody with a smartphone, especially one with Android 2.2 and up, Windows Phone 7, and yes the iOS, all deserve to be able utilize their devices in any manner they want. Is this not what customers pay for? Is this not the the job that T-Mobile agrees to assume when you sign agree to a contract? We have the technological means to provide substantial and stable internet every where wirelessly.
Today’s smartphones offer amazing experiences, and consumers are increasingly relying on them for everything from navigation, entertainment and shopping to just staying connected.

This re confirmes what I said about anybody with a smartphone should be able to use it as they want. Our smartphones are for all intent and purposes computers. Yes they like some functionality that a laptop or desktop that runs windows, Mac, or a Linux Destro, but not many. I mean with root explorer you can unzip a ROM and add files or delete files, you can even create or edit scripts. Then re zip the ROM and flash it to your device. You can actually extract .apk files and .jar files you just can not rebuild them yet.
mobile hotspot limit
most of us XDA readers will find a way to get around the Mobile Hotspot limit that Tmo is putting on the new data plans. Looking forward being able to use my data plan without having to monitor how close I am to the throttle...
clarified everything today with tmo. I'm still wondering how they plan to limit tethering though.

Well in the news release it says we won't be able to share with "other devices". I have my ideas but I'd rather not being them out into the open even though they've probably already thought of every angle. But tmo has plenty of spectrum to allow us "hungry" users to use the network at its fullest. I was actually going to leave tmo for sprint in October for that simple fact. Needless to say, I'm gonna stick around for a bit

Edit: NVM, I just realized that it reads 9TB ??? So uh yeah I guess it's "true unlimited" =D

I don't know what skin you're using, but it should be in there.
The reason it's 9.X gb is because the phone's system files have to be stored somewhere. EVERYTHING involving the system (even things like ringtones, tones, wallpapers, etc.) have to have a place on the phone. That's what takes up a good portion of your storage. It isn't "missing", it's being used for important things.
It's because Sense is a fat kid

[HOW TO] reset AT&T data usage

so I figured this little trick out by accident actually. while it's pretty useful to know, I'd suggest not using it unless you really need to. basically don't abuse it or it'll get 'patched' (for lack of a better word).
STEP 1
have AT&T give you a new SIM card.
* going into any AT&T store and saying you're having signal issues will get you in and out the door with a new SIM in 5 minutes, free of charge.
STEP 2
you're all done.
* if you want to check to see that it worked, open your dialer, press *3282# (*DATA#) and hit call. in a free seconds you'll receive a free text message from AT&T updating you on your data usage. you'll see two lines, one of which will read (DEACTIVATED), and your data will be back at 0/3GB (*screenshot related)
anyways, try not to abuse this. it should really only be a last resort thing. so only use it if you really need it!

Hearts and minds ^^
As for the topic at hand, don't you think it's a little devious to have your data reset like that? In the long term its gonna create more bothersome questions for the rest of us down the road when we do have realm SIM issues

[Q] Google drive unlocked bootloader

Any trick to get the free space with an unlocked bootloader?

Darn! I just tried this too. I'm on an unlimited plan, so I activated the phone on a different line, then switched it over to my line. I wonder if that had anything to do with it.
is this a root problem, or bootloader? You could try to run "root cloak" app on Xposed Framework. I know that worked for people wanting to get ISIS wallet to work. It fools the app into thinking that you are not rooted.
It didn't check for root or anything

They typically don't need to ask for root. If you are rooted try root cloak. Have you edited your build prop or super cid?

I just read this article: http://www.pocketables.com/2014/04/thinking-rooting-htc-one-m8-hold-second.html
Apparently if your bootloader is unlocked Drive will not activate the bonus storage. In the comments someone relocked their bootloader and was able to activate the promotion. I am not that interested to relock for the promotion, but maybe right before it expires.

Just call HTC. Explain you didn't recieve the promo and they will ask u for your imei ams then email u a link to activate it. This is what I did and worked flawless. I now have 75GB.

Raising this topic from the dead in case anyone else is in the same boat as me...
I didn't even know about this feature but recently read about it when they upgraded existing users to 100GB. I unlocked my device the day I got it so never opened the stock drive application.
I called the 888 number and they just asked for my IMEI and email address and they sent me an email. I already pay for 100GB, so they added another 100GB on top of that.
Thanks!
Odd, I didn't have any issues getting the promotion and I unlocked/rooted (with Firewater) day 1 as well.

Thanks for this tip. Worked for me yesterday.

Glad it still works months later. Are y'all rooting, and then trying to get your storage space? Or what's the hiccup?
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
No hiccup. Just to bump/confirm, I contacted HTC using their email contact form (see here http://www.htc.com/us/contact/email/), and just now got email with a link to activate my shiny new 100GB Google Drive storage good for two years. Clicked and confirmed, all good. Pleasantly surprised after I procrastinated on the initial offer of just 50GB, lol.
