Google Now - HTC One S

After months of waiting t-mobile released the jellybean ota for the one s. I just updated and am quite happy about it. One of the features i am most interested in is google now however I cannot seem to figure out where it is. Being that I have only been using jellybean at this point for a couple hours i'm sure there are things I just need to get used to but I want to try out google now. If anyone can explain how to get it up and running for me that would be great. Thanks.

Open the Google app. You may need to update it via the android market.

No. Go to the market and download it. It's free and wipes its ass with the stock browser, in my opinion.

I was going to download it but it doesn't have flash support and that to me is a deal breaker.

Well, as a web developer for many years, I can tell you that Flash will go the way of the dinosaurs sooner rather than later. Regardless, if I come across a site where I need flash, I'll open it in the stock browser. Otherwise it's 100% Chrome for day to day browsing!

Somehow I got the promo. I was amazed. The promo from HTC and Samsung combined gave me 72 gigs.

On clean ROM 4.1 SE. Radio is 2.09. I don't really care how it happened, just glad I got it. Was one of the deciding factors in choosing this phone as I love cloud storage, as I love flashing roms , makes it nice to know I can format my sd card every flash to avoid data problems on different roms, without losing photos or other important files. Hell I've got drive too. So I've managed to get myself over thirty gigs of space for free.
Edit: and if and when apple opens its icloud up to android(doubtful) I have twenty gigs there.

Also wondering if I can spoof drop box and get the promo again on my other drop box account.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
I am on the same rom. Try flashing the default button mod, uninstall dropbox, then reinstall.
hahah, no I dont have the SG3. I was on a rom from my skyrocket. Apparently, it thought I was a SG3
I am pretty sure Dropbox is determined to avoid giving me the free space. I only have 6 GB through them otherwise. I have been considering paying, but I know the instant I do...
CONGRATULATIONS ENJOY 23 FB FREE FOR YOUR HTC ONE X

Those of you missing out may want to log into your account from a PC. You don't just get it automatically for having a HOX. There are other steps you have to take there. Look for the cake icon.

Yep, you NEED to also visit https://www.dropbox.com/gs after setting up an account on your phone and do the tasks, then you'll get your free storage :good:
But I have been using Dropbox for ages and already done all of that. Probably at least a year now

Sync a few files to DB, do the tasks, and I got it in 2 mins tops.
Haha I think DB just hates me. I decided to just pay for the 50 GB for now. If I get free space at some point, cool I can stop paying. If not then whatever

On their website it says ATT and Verizon are no longer participating in the 25gb upgrade. Kinda sucks, wish there was a work around to get the space.

This is for the Nexus S 4G users only!!!

I had it served OTA perhaps a couple of months ago, its been that long I dont recall exactly when but my official firmware is 4.1.1 on the Nexus S.

I've been checking for system updates constantly. Nothing drives me more insane than seeing that "Your system is up to date" when I check. I have yelled at my phone multiple times "NO, IT'S NOT!"

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but...you can't manually check for an update on this one. Sprint said that it will be pushed to your device when it's your turn. Which means...expect it some time later this week if you haven't gotten it already.

That's what we're waiting for. Without a doubt, there are people out there that have JB for their NS4Gs, but they wouldn't have any clue how to upload a zip, or wouldn't care for that matter. For them it's just a routine update, to iron out a bug or two. How many end users do you think even know what project butter is??? Probably just us.
Just make sure that if you get that update, to take your Logcat so someone on here can get the file from the URL.

I dunno man.... I think most people that still rock a Nexus S is this community. I only know one other person who has a Nexus S... And he's a very techie kinda guy. Most everyone else upgraded a while ago... And they're still jealous of my old phone with its speed on jb.

Guys you can give it a break for today. 12 am start checking. Its going to be 4 days gnex 4 days ns4g and that's till the 13th, an 8 day period. That's why gnex users got the links out so fast. So get ready for Monday. Enjoy some football in the meantime.

No Official JB Update for Verizon S3 Coming! Woah, that was close!

So Samsung offically announced the US devices getting JB and while reading the article is says it is coming to the Galaxy S3 on AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and US Cellular. I was like WHAAAAAAAAT!
Then when you scroll down to the chart, is has the Verzion S3 JB update also listed as coming soon. Man, a typo like that can give someone a heart attack.

"coming soon" could mean 2013.
"Coming soon" gets put through the Verizon Wireless translator and becomes "coming way later."

I bet verizon will be the last to update to jb. By then key lime will be out. Rumor has it, it may be announced this november with a few new nexus devices. The cycle just never ends.

It's hard to be patient for newer better operating systems. But I'm loving cleanrom 2.5 and the Google now mod I found here on xda. This phone runs well on pics so I'm hoping jb by Xmas.
Yep. Apparently the ota is coming later as in 2013. Thanks Verizon. Love you cyanogen

Does it really matter? It'll look just like ICS with the same fugly touchwiz all over it. Maybe it'll scroll a little smoother. The only other important addition (google now) we can add already.
JB is such a tiny update I don't see what everyone is getting so worked up about.

Why isn't my phone getting the new Play store?

I'm still not on the newest version.. any reason?

Where are you? If you desperately want it just install the .apk, it takes about 10 seconds to do.
I'm in the US another family member on the same contract ( xperia play ) even has it..

That's odd. Try downloading it from here.

Im on ICS.. go figure..this doesnt really upset me due to the fact that im getting a new phone ( Droid DNA ) Wednesday!
I don't think it's worth it. The old one looks way more organised and simple. I won't even bother installing the new Store's .apk
Well that's my opinion, you may like it better
Mine just installed automatically when I connected to the wifi.
solution
You have to go to services and clean the cache on the market processes. I had to do that with my droid x a long time ago.
Sometimes it just takes a while. On my phone once, I cleared it and force stopped it several times and it didn't update until a couple hours later.

No. I, too, think the new one looks hideous. Too much like it's trying to be iOS for my taste.
Sent from my ASUS Transformer Pad TF700T using Tapatalk 2
I believe the new one looks hideous, the old one is way better. But of course, we will get used to it in the future (do we have any other choice?).
Anyway, to answer the thread, it depends on the country you are in. Usually, they update per country (if it is available to you).
