I'm getting my Sensation 4G this Thursday, and I'm very excited about it.
Any tips you'd like to share?
Enjoy the hell out of it. It's a sexy device.
Oh, & get dropbox. Great service if you ever want to get things to your phone from your PC without plugging in. Pop it in your dropbox folder on your PC & then it shows in the list on your phone (PM me if you haven't signed up yet & I can send you a signup link that'll give you a lil extra space)
Downloa Box.net from the app store and activate it on your G2x for 50 gb of storage Once claimed, your account will have 50GB of free, secure file storage and sharing forever. Its not ICS, but it is a nice plus for owning our phone! Box.net has just replaced my dropbox!
More info is here and the market link is here
no mass upload?
Edit: that app is under featured severely. No multiple selections. Can only upload and download individual files.
not without
upgrading required for mass upload.
But
Webdav is built right into it so add a network drive at https://www.box.net/dav and login...
Snap. Downloaded app and signed up. 50gb upgrade rewarded instantly. Sweet.
G2x - 2.3.7 CM7
Transformer - 3.2 Revolver OC/UV
What upgrade? No paid app in the market and no upgrade option in the app.
Awesome. 50Gb storage instantly.
Thank you for sharing!

Use a web browser to box.net for upgrade options. I like the webdav approach though. The Professional account is 10 bucks/month.
Nice, creating an account was a breeze and uploading works just fine. Thanks for the tip.

Using AirDroid may help. I haven't tried it with Box yet, so it's iffy.
Some people are just never happy. Here you have 50GB of free storage more than you will get for FREE from any other service and yet people have to still be NEGATIVE!!
P.S. - There is a bulk upload feature.

Eh, ill be the dude who has issues.
I'm using a nightly build of cm7, if that matters.
I downloaded it, launched it, registered for an account all on my phone. (G2x)
Check the settings and it still has me at 5Gbs, any thoughts?
Well 50gb storage is 50gb storage. Can't complain here!

Awesome, thank you!
To upload more than one file, don't use the box app. Go to Gallery (or whatever file browser for files) and select all the files you want to upload. Then go to Share, Box.net. It will then upload all the files for you.
I keep getting plz enter a vaild email add when the add that i am putting inis vaild. I have tried it with two different emails. Wont work fr me using the box.net app.
Edit: I was using the Boxroid app not box. Using box got me the 50gb nice thanks for te tip.

THANK YOU!!
Spent an hour with file expert first trying to get webdav to work (kept getting inaccessible folder errors) and then when I tried using file experts cloud management, Java memory errors. Your solution finally worked.
To the rest of you: I wasn't turning my nose up at free 50gb. But it seems an empty gesture when you can't use it. :/

I bought the phone but forgot to ask where, how to get my free 25GB on Dropbox. I've installed DB on the phone but it only shows 2.5GB storage... which is how much any schmoe gets.
Anyone know how to activate that?
You log into your dropbox account when setting up the phone or under accounts in the settings menu.
I'm already logged in. It only shows 2.5GB of storage.
After I bought the phone from T-Mobile I used it to create and sign into a new Dropbox account. That account only shows 2.5 GB. So is there something I'm missing? Maybe they've retracted that offer?
They lied I didn't get no extra 25GBs.

I had the same problem until i set up dropbox on my pc and uploaded a pic. Then i got a email
Congrats on becoming a Dropbox Guru! We've awarded you 23 GB of bonus space for the next 24 months! You now have 28.75 GB on Dropbox. To get even more space, check out our upgrade options.
Thanks again for supercharging your HTC device with Dropbox!

Thanks! That was it. I had used a throwaway email account to register, so I may have never found my 25GB if I hadn't asked.

try installing it on your PC
Also did you install new dropbox app, or used your existing?
I didnt have any problems with extra space. Logged in phone and got e-mail.
you need to fill out some questions. When you first log on with your phone. it tells you what the site is. www.dropbox.com/freespace of something like that...

what worked for me
I had to turn camera uploads on for this to work. I already had dropbox installed on my PC so when I turned on camera uploads, I snapped a few photos (rapid fire 5 photos in 2 secs . When they all completed the upload to dropbox on my pc I got a message claiming my guruness and I had the extra space.
Hope that helps....
As i understand it, they way you get the extra 25GB storage is by completing 5 of the 7 or so steps in using drop box.
IE. installing drop box on a machine you use, installing on a second machine, uploading from phone, sharing files with friends etc.
Once you complete all steps you will get the email about upgraded account "supercharged" status.
The HTC bonus does not have anything to do with camera uploads, etc. etc.
It's dependent on two things:
- Linking your eligible device to your Dropbox account.
- Completing 5 out of 7 of the Dropbox Getting Started Tasks.
You should get your space as soon as you have these two things completed.
Dropbox Help Center Article:
www[dot]dropbox[dot]com/help/249 (I'm not able to post url's yet)
Three things to consider if you didn't get your space:
- did you complete the Dropbox getting Started Tasks? (it can take some time to show up after completing this)
- did you link your HTC phone to another account previously? (the bonus will only be given to the first account the device is linked to)
- did you use the modified .APK previous to getting your actual HTC One phone? (Dropbox has said there will be a delay granting those users space)
An official DropBox representative wrote on a help forum about this.
You need to complete the getting started stuff again. Some say it triggered on inviting someone to Dropbox. For me it triggered when I installed Dropbox on my new laptop.
Just go through step by step the getting started stuff, and invite a random person if necessary.
This is a bit off-topic but worth noting.. I had 15GB free before I got the 25GB. Now i have like 35GB or so. (it's a bit off because they only give you 23 or something really as you saw in that person's post)
It's worth it to refer people you know. I used the form to e-mail all my contacts, and even a year later got some people who finally got around to signing up LOL. Through all that I was able to get 15GB.
Mine says I have earned 23GB but that I "can now store up to 5.38 GB of stuff in your Dropbox"... weird, and irritating.

All I did was log in with my existing account, uploaded a song & viola !
So I saw that progress is being made with root being available so I went ahead and bought the at&t htc one, its nice and lighter than my inspire. So maybe not having an sd card slot isnt going to be that bad with all the cloud storage available so I'd like to know from you guys using it which are the better cloud apps I should use where transferring media/docs is secure and fast. I'm pretty sure with this nice camera I'd like to take pics/video and not worry about space. I'm not so sure I'm interested in the dropbox offer for this phone where its only good for 2 years? I know I have 50GB on box.com but I think there are file transfer size limitations? Honestly never used it as I prefer my old trusty sd card.
Also, whats the best root method for this device?
You've got five gigs in google drive , I use box and dropbox no file limits on db, as for box I believe it's 100 mb limits with uploads, I've uploaded a few nandroids from gnex to bix with no prob
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
lol there is only 1 method to root .
and i use dropbox, configured so that it automatically uploads my pictures from my phone when on wifi
Box is useless for me since there's no sync agent on the desktop. I have 25gb on Skydrive but there's no sync on Android.
It comes down to gDrive an Dropbox. I currently use mostly Dropbox.

I swore I saw 2 methods in this dev section. One being the 1 click and the other being the perma root. Unless their considered the same?
Download the app etc. Then you do 7 easy steps well 6 for 25 gb

when you install dropbox you automatically get 25 gb bonus.*
there is a method to get a ton of free space via referals (i got up to 20 gb with this) going to have to google it because i dont think i can post on here*
*cough involves linux and virtual pc cough*
the 1 click is perma root
If you're like most, what you'll be moving around is likely to be music, pics, video, and files. One storage solution might not be the best for everything. Here's what I'm doing.
General - I have a home server and everything I have is on there. I stream video I've ripped off of it using Plex and/or PlayOn rather than screwing around with moving GB size files. If I'm traveling I'll download some stuff to watch when offline. Astro has a network module that allows me to move stuff at home and my server's a WHS and there's an app that gives me remote access if I want to d/l stuff on the road. A NAS or home server can be great when you have lots of content you view or share across your home network and remote devices.
Music - I use Amazon MP3 to store all my audio (I have it set to sync with my home server). The player shows what's local and remote via a single interface. It's not the prettiest app in the world but it's reliable and works well. I tried Google Music but didn't like the way it took over my phone.
Pics/Video - The Flickr integration built in to the phone's pretty cool. I moved from Photobucket because of it. I have it set in Sense to automatically upload the pics and videos I take. I use the mobile Flickr site to download and view stuff because adding the dedicated app confused the phone because of its native integration.
Docs and Files - I use Sense for SkyDrive because it's MS Office friendly when I want to share stuff with others. I'll use my home server if it's something I'll just be using myself. MS had a 25GB offer going for people already registered but I don't know if it's still in affect.
Just some real world stuff in case it helps anyone. There are dozens of ways to accomplish the same thing.
I use Google drive for music and drop box for other files. I downloaded an app to sync my music folder with Google drive when a change occurs in the folder. And other media and files to drop box using the same app.
I would however prefer to point the library in my player to Google drive directly or another cloud storage to avoid local copies.

It should be in accounts and sync greyed out or available to add. I have an international version so if AT&T chose to omit it as an "enhancement" let me know and I'll post the APK.
i have the att version and i don't find it in add account. can you provide the apk? thanks in advance

I use dropbox for photos, google music for music and this app called Folder Sync for general stuff.
Dropbox is good, but I have 25 gb on skydive and its amazing how you can use office 2010 on the desktop to edit your skydive files. Don't need to buy office ever again. Can't wait till they have a skydive app that can edit files.
Any news on skydive app for sense?

as far as file size limitations go... I've put files larger than 1GB on Google Drive. The one downside to Google Drive android app is I can't figure out how to copy files from Google Drive to my SDcard storage.
Here are the two SkyDrive APK's I found on the phone. Hope it works for you guys. If it does, you should see SkyDrive for HTC Sense appear in the accounts and sync.

I discovered a new cloud storage service. Of course there are myriads of them but this one has some pretty unique features and IMO it is worth testing.
The name of the service is Jottacloud and it was described by AddictiveTips yesterday http://www.addictivetips.com/window...t-lets-you-recover-accidentally-deleted-data/
If you sign up till the end of November you will receive 15 GB storage. 10 GB is a bonus for early adopters, the basic and free version of the service will offer 5 GB. But what is interesting the Jottacloud Android app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jottacloud.android.client backup and recovery functions and they work really very well (described here http://www.jottacloud.com/autosync-for-android )
Some first impressions:
- the online version of the service is in Norwegian by default and you have to switch it manually from Bokmal to English, German, etc.
- in order to receive the extra storage you you have to set up and do at least one synchronisation. After that the extra space should become available to you
- the Web and Windows work really well, the Android apk has some bugs like the way of closing the app is a bit annoying. I hope it will be improved.(EDIT: the new, improved version of the app is already available)
- the recovery function works really well and I wonder if it can be used for syncing accross devices (like tablets and smartphones). I cannot test it because I have only one device. Is anyone who can figure it out?
- what is nice you can choose if syncing/Android backup should be done over WiFI/3G
- the upload is blazingly fast. The upload saturates my 40/4 Mb VDSL. I use different storages and Jottacloud is one of the best (like Russian Yandex or Swiss Wuala), far faster than Dropbox or Sugarsync
- there are no size limitations - I uploaded a DVD ISO file (4.3 gigabytes) and had absolutely no problems with it.
- as in other services there is a referral program and one can enlarge the storage space up to 100 GB (according to the service: Invite friends to Jottacloud.Your friend will receive an invitation to Jottacloud by e-mail. Your friend clicks on the link and sign up on Jottacloud. Both you and your friend gets 5 GB of bonus storage You can get up to 100 GB bonus storage). Just in case let me know if you would like to receive the invitation from me or you can share the invitations with your friends, etc.
TIP: Click any referral link that XDA users published below. Use it if you wanna 5 gigabytes extra for you and for them It means that till the end of November you will receive 20 gigabytes of space (and 10 after November).
I just discovered this service as well and have to admit that I'm pretty impressed so far. What I especially like (additionally to the points you already mentioned) is the fact, that you can easily sync existing folders on your PC as well (and don't need to setup extra folders, as Dropbox requires).
One more thing: You can actually get 20 GB of free space. If you join via an invitation, you and the inviting person will both receive 5 GB extra. So in case you want to use this option and treat you and me some extra space, here's my invitation link: https://www.jottacloud.com/signup?referer=8B397F51699CB3E863D50F1BDAB9B9B1
