Had to go through the update 3 times for it to stick. Must be a lot of people doing the same thing.
Thanks for the heads up.
The day I trust AT&T with my data....
But thanks anyway for the link! I'm sure several people will try it out!
Yup. Took me 3 tries too. I think, for obvious reasons, AT&T just doesn't want to give away the space. They're hoping you'll give up and say, "It just doesn't work" but stick with it...3 tries and my locker says 50 Gig. Thanks a bunch.
Worked for my wife and I. Thank you. I guess we were lucky, cuz it stuck after the first try. Now let's hope the locker isn't some crazy battery drainer, or just end up being some buggy, crappy AT&T garbage.

Thanks, worked and sticked on the first try. At least I got some space to store my stuff at. :good:
I set that up and pic uploading and assinging to folders sucked
i will stay with dropbox/shutterfly/google+
although i don't really use google plus, just play with it
Tried 3 times on the site, but it wouldn't go thru. Worked 1st try on their app.
Probably won't use it because of G+ and I have a 25GB Pogoplug account for life.
Already got the 50GB dropbox storage. Thanks though Maybe sometime in the future when i need more than 50GB cloud storage..lol
Good catch. After creating the locker account, the upgrade process was pretty clear the free upgrade to 50GB is a limited offer, but said nothing about it being free for a limited time. Hopefully that means it's a permanent, free upgrade.
Maybe a place to store another backup of my music files ? It's hard to think of anything I'd actually trust to put on any server related to AT&T 'tho.

I use it for pictures.. you never know when your SD card or phone may have some kind of issues. Its great since it uploads automatically.

Nice catch. Worked just fine the first time. Can never have enough storage.

I caught one with 190MB application storage which is unacceptable for most.
I use MT4 and NS instead of nexus one because of that. Don't ever think app2SD helps because it won't work when the phone is in USB mass storage mode or memory card is removed.
I had about the same until I started adding some of my apps to the phone. I can't even add all my apps because of the internal storage. Can't wait for root and some Roms (CyanogenMod 7).

Man this thing is pissing me off. I can't even install half the apps I had installed on my original Vibrant.
T-mobile should give us options on installing apps as soon as we turn it on. They just throw **** we won't use on the phone and call it a day. Now what if we had no devs nor root or anything like that? Look at what we would be stuck with. In that case people would just return the phone.

We can use Titanium Backup to freeze those apps for now right?

Cool I rooted it and have Titanium Backup installed. Just no CWM yet for ROM Manager.
I have all my appz installed with no issue... honestly 16gb onboard made the vibrant slow. im glad to have less... and I can install as many apps to my sd card as i want.
I see someone has said they have over 500mb of internal, how is that possible and why is mine not the same?
I'm on live chat with T-Mobile right now. The lady just told me...
"Okay, thank you for that information. There definitely seems to be an issue here. I am looking further into this"
So obviously there is a problem

Ok cool, let us know what's going on. I have a total of 539MB internal storage.
Specs says 1GB! I read that off phonedog I think.
"You should definitley have more memory than what you are showing. I can get you the manufacturers information. Since it is a Samsung device their support teams will definitely be able to assist you a little better than us at the moment.
_Jessica C: I know that you don't want to go back to the store, but if there is an issue with the device it may be the best bet since it is a new phone. I can also recommend taking it to a T-mobile direct dealer. They may be able to test your software. They know anything and everything about these phones.
_Jessica C: I do apologize but I am limited with my information at the time."
Since it's a new phone she doesn't have all the info, etc. At least they know there is a problem now.
I'm going to go to a t-mobile store and talk to them so I'll let you know what they say
LOL
i doubt that a t mobile rep would know anything and everything about the phone.
Ok, I just got off with a T-Mobile rep and she said the internal memory should have a total of 512MB. ...sucks! But good thing we have a 16GB sdcard.
^I was told 512 ram and 1024 rom. Plus 512 makes no sense when dude a couple posts up said he had 539mb available..sorry not dude above, you said it yourself! lol

Ok, I can't stand my phone to be on stock so I think I will be going back to my MT4G.
I'll be back when Rom Manager supports the phone, full recovery and some nice ROMs starts flying in. (I WANT CM7!)
...love the screen though! Big difference when coming from the MT4G. :|
I will be checking this section and will be posting as well.
Thanks for all the help guys.
I had a butt-load of apps backed up with titanium and I was able to install all of them with no issues. I started with 539MB internal, I've got 154MB free. I have 220 user apps installed.

Just a few bloatware things, probably 10 or 15 apps.
That is so pathetic. Just another reason to hate that company.
Anyway...my friend just got an inspire and is new to android. I'm just helping with the phone (I have a verizon android phone) and realized that AT&T finds someway to screw with consumers again. So, is there a way to get around this and install non market apps?

You can use sideload wonder machine http://forum.androidcentral.com/android-sideload-wonder-machine/
Or root the phone and load a custom ROM that has non market apps enabled
the sideload wonder machine method is sipmple the only drawback is that the apps wont receive updates like they would from the market, if I'm not mistaken.
Also if I remember correctly if the app is to big for side load wonder machine, you can use adb push. There are always work arounds.

That's why it's such a sweet feeling when you uninstall their application through TiBu........
You can also consider rooting the device. I did mine with no issues at all. It's VERY easy, just time consuming. From start to finish, took me about 35 minutes. I already had EVERYTHING I needed to do this though, including the ROM I wanted.

I am interested to know what apps are good that aren't on the marketplace. I would like to find some other cool stuff I can put on this phone. I put swype on and that was fun to side load. Would like to do some other stuff. Inform me please.

You want good go to Amazon App store, in the past few days I got a full version of Shazam and then SoundHound. Both have full unlimited use with no expiration, also if you change rom's you can redownload them from your account for as long as you have the account. They give away a full paid app everyday on there.

Hey guys just putting up a reminder that from November 30 to March 31, 2012 Box and LG are teaming up to offer 50GB of free storage.
I downloaded the Box app, registered, and a prompt popped up telling me I have 50GB of storage now.
http://pulse.me/s/3D34J
Via Android and me.
Pretty cool.
Sent from my LG-P999
Since I had not heard of Box, did a web search to see who the company is. The surfed there on my G2x, got the Android App, signed up and got 50GB storage. The signup says 5GB but afterwards tell you 50GB. Have to sign up on your G2X or other LG phone.
I just downloaded the BOX app on the android market registered and received free 50GB on my T-mobile LG G2x. easy as that.
So you searched who it is.... care to tell us what you found??
Company seems reputable??

Reading comments on the Market. People are saying you can upload files but not download? If this is true, what's the point? Gonna test and see for myself...
Okay, so maybe the deebs on the market didn't notice the "save for off-live" button. Nice but needs a desktop client.

Awesome... couldn't other devices simply change their build.prop to make it like our g2x and get the storage?
Just strictly curiosity, simple yes or no is fine .

I just got my 50GB of file storage yesterday. 50GB more to add my pile of online storage!
This would be even better if they had the free file sync like Dropbox. All functions seem to work, however the multi-select stumps me.
thats good news. I will keep tracking of this.

Box is more secure than Dropbox, but doesn't have the as many options. There is public press on Dropbox security issues, while Box has a clean record so far.
Thanks for the update....

Me too.... Worked like a charm. Fast and easy to setup.
Box is not there yet with the features but if enough people start using it and asking for features we'll eventually get there.
I only got 5gb g2x
I got this when the offer first surfaced and set up an account. I don't think I'll be using it much at all though.
-No Windows app/sync
-File Size limited to 100MB
To get sync and upgrade the size limit to 2GB it's a $20/month upgrade. Although I'm constantly reaching my 2GB dropbox limit, it's still just so much easier to use that.
thanks for the tip op, I got the 50GB.
Just purchased this beast of a tablet and so far, I LOVE it. It compliments my SGS3 PERFECTLY. I read somewhere that we are supposed to get 50gb of dropbox storage out of the box, however, that's not the case for me. Is there some special code we have to put in somewhere???

All I did was start the drop box app and I had got my space
One of the first things that popped up on mine was the dropbox offer.

You'd probably be more likely to get helpful responses if you had a more helpful thread title.
The dropbox offer popped up when I first powered on the device. I skipped it as I wasn't interested. Not sure how to get it back, but I assume there must be a way.
When I sighed into my already existing drop box account on my note with the app already imstalled it showed me a upgrade message. Now it shows I have 55gb storage with 3.4 used.

There are steps that much be completed within Dropbox after you register on you GNote. Once you complete all the steps they upgrade you for two years. A quick search would have revealed this info.
BTW Not a pertinent or effective title since this is already the GNote forum..

Thank you. That was exactly where it was.
Glad you found it.
ok so i see you listed the version number, I'm guessing that means you didn't do the newest update =/ I use my phone as my internet connection and updated foxfi because it gave me an error saying i had to update it to use it.
Now i'm stuck with a 2.51Mb limit before i have to restart foxfi, Any work arounds for this? Im not trying to spend $7 for an app thats been free this long. It strikes me as someone getting greedy, And $7 is pretty steep when i can root the phone and tether for free. Just not trying to root my S3 atm.

Its cool. Lol. I wouldn't update because of the limit and felt the same way about the app being free then 7 bucks.I don't mind supporting the devs for their hard work and have many bought paid apps that I have purchased. But this just didn't seem right. But as of yesterday the old version quit working had a pop-up saying it wasn't supported and wouldn't connect. So I guess it got blocked to force you to buy if you want the program.

darn, im wondering if theres a way around it or another app. Because like you i dont mind supporting dev's and i have also bought many apps, but this isn't right its been free for this long this is someone who is just getting greedy and trying to force people into paying them money. The app had over 1million downloads, If that many people use it and he now forces them to pay 7 thats 7 million dollars. I dont blame him i wouldn't mind having 7 million but still i'm not putting in on him being greedy.
Lol you guys are spoiled. The developer has a right to ask for money for his app... People have been using something he has done on his free time for free for a long time... Who knows what is going on in his life but maybe it's reached a point where the money is needed. For what it offers, it is easily worth 7 dollars one time. The only reason i have not bought it yet is because people are reporting it doesnt work on 4.1 anyway, so we'll see.

Well i'll straight up say i'm far from spoiled, I've spent money on apps that i didn't have to just to support the devs. But when you go from "i'm doing this for the people and its free i just made it to help out" to "i'm charging 7 dollars when i've changed nothing" that just a bit greedy to me, I work hard for my money and i'm not about to just throw it at someone because they got greedy. I've done my homework downloaded a widget called hotspot toggle and i tether threw my phone's built in hotspot for free. Easy to use, turns on faster, and i haven't seen any issues with it yet. So i guess good try to the foxfi guy. Hope you guys find the hotspot toggle widget useful
