50% off on samsung accessories - FREE 48 GB Dropbox with your GS4
I bought my GS4 with T-Mobile, shortly I received an email from Dropbox asking me to claim my free 48 GB storage, so I did, now I have a total of 53 GB storage with them.
I decided to register my GS4 in my Samsung.com account, really easy you need your imei # date of purchase and store where you bought it.
Same day Samsung send me a code for 50% off on any accessory less than $50
So I purchase the external battery & Samsung charger for 25 bucks.
This is the stuff you should know before you purchase a bunch of over priced accessories in the retail stores.
I hope this help you.

You might have to sign in during the initial setup wizard, when the phone is new. I figured it was worth the factory reset to get 2 years of additional 48GB.

Make sure your carrier is participating
Some carriers have opted out of the promotion on phones otherwise eligible. Among those not currently participating are the following carriers:
United States: AT&T
Japan: NTT DoCoMo
Verizon customers: Some Samsung devices on Verizon may be eligible for 48 GB of bonus space for one or two years. As described above, your device needs to be pre-loaded with the Dropbox app, or pre-loaded with the Dropbox out-of-box experience, to receive the applicable promotion. If your device does not have the Dropbox app pre-loaded, then it is not eligible.
Bought my S4 last friday, and got the 50gb extra on Dropbox for 2 years...

Once your bonus space goes away, you can't upload more files, and have to remove some to get your space under the new limit when the bonus space expires... At least that's what happened with me about a year ago.
What about the 50% off on accessories... Deal is still alive?? Is this valid in Canadan or for the U.S only?

I just noticed that Best Buy is selling the SIII for $100 today only. My plan was to get two of these at the end of the week (I'm waiting for a credit on my account from Sprint, which I'm switching over from). I definitely would love to save the $200 and get the phones today, but I need to make sure our phone numbers can remain as they are. So here's my question:
Can I buy the phones today, sign a contract with Verizon, and get two new phone numbers? Then have Verizon port our Sprint numbers over to those new SIII's as soon as the Sprint credit is applied to my account? I just don't want to be stuck with new phone numbers. My phone number hasn't changed in many, many years.
Thanks everyone for your help!! I am looking forward to being a part of this community soon!
Just buy them from wirefly or amazon man and there's no tax. I'm pretty sure when you sign your contract you're attaches to whatever number you get for the life of the contract.

They cost $199 on Amazon as of last night. It was $139 prior to that. Sales tax isn't that much - I'll take the $100 price tag and pay the tax.

You can switch your phone number on any line at any time.
Yes, you can port your Sprint number. You have to make this clear though. Through Verizon or sprint -- this I don't remember, but I've done it.

Yeah they actually gave me some paperwork that I can fill out and call a number to get my old number ported. Awesome deal! Thanks for helping me out during this last second ordeal guys. I'm the happy owner of the SIII now.

My experience with wirefly is that your sim is attatched to your phone for the first 6 months... if you do not use that sim they supply you with you can get hit with a hefty charge... and its an automatic charge to the credit card used to make the purchase.. it happened to me.. luckily i was able to get the charge reversed
I've gone through this once before. Just make sure that they've added the number you want to the account before you activate the phone.
If you activate first, and then port over your number later, you'll have to go through the hassle of a new SIM card.
Hi guys. No matter how many times I sign in my dropbox account, I still cant claim my 50gb storage. When I had an s3, I simply logged in and my free storage was claimed. But now with s4 I cant make it work. What am I doing wrong ?

You have to check your emails. Then complete 5 out of the 6 steps on Dropbox if I remember correct invite a friend etc
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
I don't think you can keep claiming 50gb of storage with every device purchase, can you?
I also claimed my 50gb with the S3 but just figured that as I had already gone through the process I couldn't do it again.
I could be wrong though.
Storage isn't expanded, just extended.
My 50gb just happened almost as soon as I set up handset. I got extra 30 with my HTC last year, currently up to 80 till HTC expires next year.

Ah! Now I get it. The total period is extended. So I will be getting 50gb for 3 years if I had 1 year of storage time left before upgrading to s4. Am I right ?

Nope, my HTC's 30gB parts 2 years, on top of that I got 50gB from S4 which parts 2 years. So next yearr I'm expecting to loose the HTC's 30gB

This actually makes sense considering it's a T-Mobile ROM but I would think that the APN would prevent this check from validating? Excellent find if this is 100% true!

What i did was flash this AND ktoonsez kernal, i selected the wicked rom and then added another zip and flashed them in sequence, rebooted, put in my att apn settings and loged into dropbox and got that email.

I work with this guy that posted it, he showed me, it is legit, I am going to install tonight....yes! Nice find for sure.
I'm not trying to be a party pooper here guys, but be careful with this. Certain carriers, including AT&T (US) have opted out of the Dropbox promotions. Now normally, this wouldn't be a problem, but the promotions are for free space "if" you are on certain carriers. The drop box folks have been known to get a little upset when free space is activated on non-qualified phones. I've seen it happen in the Skyrocket forums. Personally, I think it is great, but it's not the kind of thing I would be advertising openly (maybe PMs for more info would be better) and I'm not sure how the forum rules apply here either. Just giving a heads up maybe it's nothing to worry about, but I wouldn't take chances.
When using this tmobile rom on at&t how do you install the LTE apn settings for AT&T?
Sent from my SGH-I337 using xda premium
Yea, i set the att apn settings. I read a little bit more and it seems like this space is only available for a year.
I'm with Bell and was pleasantly surprised by that offer when I opened dropbox... 48gb was swiftly acquired

Well I've got about 75gb of space its nice to have all the extra space but not really sure what to do with it a this time. have 32gb sd card. but I guess I dont have to fill up my sd card with useless crap I can just use my dropbox
i've got the email also today ive been running the wicked v3 rom and im on att. I logged on to dropbox, then all of a sudden i have a email for 48 gb for 24 months. im soo happy
So, this is my second S4, it may be a short run depending on how the phone ships!
Here is the info to be supplied by this post!
1. Price I paid to Walmart.
2. Time it takes to arrive, (remember I purchased online 8/8/2013)
3. What firmware did it ship with? (will report soon as I get it)
4. If not updated, (possible rooting before the update happens)
5. End result, (those of you wondering if you can get the Samsung 3rd party before the last OTA update) we will solve here!
6. Updates will appear in post #3
Stay Tuned!!!
Walmart Price
$159.95 cheaper then ATT at posting!
this is based on 2 yr renew contract!
FREE FEDEX SHIPPING!
My Device has shipped with an arrival date of the 13th...
Updates will appear here!
:laugh:THINGS WE NOW KNOW:laugh:
1. Good deals exist through out the various carriers, do research before you buy!
2. Good sources, (right here in this thread) suggest the firmware is on the box...(look before purchasing)
3. Athough a good deal can be had online, your taking a chance of getting the updated/locked-down firmware from hell...
4. 3rd parties as well as the carriers still are shipping the old firmware, but as old stock depletes latest will be shipping!
5. If you are fortunate to get the older firmware... do not insert Sim until rooted & booted to prevent OTA..
6. My personal S4 from walmart shipped and has a delivery date of 8/13/2013
7. Please take the pole...
THANKS for STOPPING BY!
Sorry but this thread is pointless, even if you get an mdl (pre mf3) from walmart doesnt mean all wallmarts or third parties will be the same...some att stores are still selling mdl and others mf3...it just depends what that individual store has in stock

1. That is true, but some folks want to take some guesswork out of the math equation...
2. Its a better chance for Walmart to have stockpiled S4's directly from Samsung having the old Firmware..
3. If this post is useless to you... Move along!
Thanks, for posting!
Just curious, does anyone know if there is an identifier on the box that could give away the build date of the device? Would only help checking out local inventory, if possible. I threw mine away about 2 weeks ago.

Hi,
I'm seeing some conflicting into about this in several different threads, so I thought it might help to address it in one location. I'm a Sprint customer and currently have a GS4. Will I be able to use my existing sim card to activate my N5 when it comes, or will I have to get a new sim card?

You can use your existing SIM (you will likely need to call in to Sprint customer care to get it swapped over though). I'd suggest that you request a new SIM anyway, for use on the S4 at a later point.
Thanks. I'm selling the S4 and telling the buyer that they'll need to contact Sprint for a new sim.

Sweet, that was quick. I'm still working out the logistics. I'm going to have to sell the S4 first because I can't afford to be out 400 bucks until the phone is sold. I was thinking about just taking my upgrade with Sprint on December 1st, but then I found out that Sprint is only selling the 16gb model. I'll probably use my upgrade to buy an iPhone 5S for $200 and hopefully sell it for $600-$700.

Yeah, I hear you. Luckily I had a nice bonus at work last month, otherwise I wouldn't have dished out the money. Hoping to sell the S4 soon. Put it on Craigslist with no hits yet so I'll probably try Swappa and Ebay next. Kind of glad it didn't sell yet though because that will at least give me the chance to go back if I have major buyer's remorse.

The in store credit amount is higher, then you get 30% extra on top of that amount if you buy a used game for $1. Then use the in store credit to buy gift cards you would usually use.
You could buy all shell gas gift cards, then take them there and buy all VISA gift cards... or just use them for fuel like I am.

Interesting. Did they hassle you about the phone being brand new? The guy I talked to over the phone said they they can't buy a brand-new, unopened phone, and he acted like I stole it or something. I had to explain my plan and the fact that I don't even have the phone yet.

Not at all. We opened it together. Heck I literally never even touched the phone itself. He did ask why. I told him the truth, that I was eligible for upgrade and the iPhones bring the most on trade and I bought a Nex5 off contract.
