Problems redeeming free VR with Verizon - Google Pixel Questions & Answers

I'm trying to redeem the free VR promotion with Verizon, but I'm having trouble at the "Upload your Receipt" page. I've tried Chrome and IE, and both simply say "unknown error" when I try to upload any file, regardless of file type or size. Has anyone had any success?

I tried the last few days and I get either an error or bad request. I'm going to chat with them now, thanks for reminding me.
Edit:
I went on chat to let them know I was having errors. I tried submitting my claim again right after and it worked fine. Ive got my submission number and we're all good to go.

Where is the page for a free VR through Verizon? I thought that was only when you purchased through Google?

I too was having this issue all of yesterday, and they were aware of it. Submission database was being maintenanced most of that day. I tried a 5th time about 2 hours ago and it worked finally.

Awesome! Yeah, I was worried that submitting later would kinda put us at the back of the queue. But my brother did it the hour he got the phone on the 20th, I did mine today. But both estimate November 6th.

PSA; The networks that connect the internet has been under ddos and may or may not have affected recent failed internet activity. Personally have had several transactions and pages fail all over the place, Comcast, Cricket Wireless, even the Google store.

How do I get the free 50gb of space on dropbox?

When I was setting up my note I thought I remembered seeing an offer for 50gb free storage for 2 years. How do I activate it?

They give you list of thing you have to do
Put on phone, computer, email it to a friend, ect. I think I got the instructions in a email after I signed in
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
"To get the free storage users simply need to sign into Dropbox when setting up the device. Alternatively, after they set up the device, users can launch the pre-installed Dropbox app to get the free storage. After two years users will have to pay to continue using their extra storage space, or risk losing their content."
Here's a question worth asking as it may effect some of you......
I already have a FREE 50GB addition for 2 years by purchasing an SGS3. That now expires in 18 months time.
This week I purchased a SGN 10.1 which I 'supposedly' assumed it too would have the offer of a FREE 50GB addition for 2 years.
However, looking at my account I notice the Note 10.1 is not mentioned in my account.
I would have thought one of two things would have happened:-
1. My account increased from 50GB to 100GB based on the fact I have 2 x Samsung products each with a FREE 50GB for 2 years.
2. My account FREE 2 year expire date would have been amended to the date I added my Note 10.1 to Dropbox.
At the moment it looks like although you get an initial FREE 50GB for 2 years, it doesn't matter if you purchase another Samsung product during that period, you don't get any further FREE extension.
Here's hoping I am wrong.................
You're not wrong. I activated two Galaxy Note 10.1s and didn't get the additional space.
You have to go through your tablet, and then work all of the steps. In the end you get the extra space. I did. Multiple threads on this.
Not everyone gets the space. Unless you mean the hack, that I haven't tried.
From Dropbox's own page:
Is my Samsung phone eligible for the free space promotion?
If you have a brand new Samsung phone with Dropbox already installed, you may be eligible to earn 48GB of free space for up to two years. Here's how:
Complete Get Started
The most common reason people have not yet received their free space is because they have not yet finished the quests on the Get Started tab. To claim your extra space, complete five of the seven quests from Get Started. Please note, some steps require your desktop computer.
Is Dropbox pre-loaded?
Dropbox must be pre-loaded on your new Samsung phone to be eligible for the promotion.
The first account that signs up will get 48GB of free space, provided you have completed Get Started.
Each account is only able to claim this promotion once.
Non-participating carriers
Select carriers have opted-out of the promotion on phones otherwise eligible. Among those not currently participating are:
United States: AT&T, Verizon
Japan: NTT DoCoMo
Korea: SK Telecom

IF you qualify, those are the steps, as verified by Dropbox, to get the space. If you don't qualify there there should be no question. Your device will tell you if you qualify.
Dropbox settings and requirements between my two Samsung devices are the same but it is only the first device that has been given the additional space (as mentioned by blud7).
In a way I do understand with both machines running from the same account it may not be increased..... But it is a shame Dropbox do not at the least role over the additional 48GB expiry date based on the last machine the account is running on.
I used another/alternative gmail account just for the extra space. The account is mainly used for when i join mailing lists etc to keep junk email to a minimum on my main account.

Nice.
This is my experience:
When going thru the setup on the device, sign in when asked and complete setup.
Launch the app on the note, you will receive an email stating your account has been upgraded.

Never happened to me..... I completed the setup, accepted to allow the Note to upload photos and that was it. No email and nothing showing of the Note in my accounts but it did upload photos I took with the tablet, so it does know the Note is part of my account.

There are 7 or 8 steps to complete before you can have the extra space. It's a list that checks you off as you complete the steps. That's what you did?
---------- Post added at 05:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:54 PM ----------
Click the Get Started link at the left of your account, and make sure all items are crossed off.
I just finnished getting my 50GB DropBox space. I had thought I was not going to get it as I got the app got the dropbox and then nothing. So I went to dropbox via my laptop and there was a statement that I had 5 things to complete to get my extra 48GB storage and there was a list of I think 8 items and the one for the app was marked complete. The ones I did was take the tour, download dropbox for my laptop, create a share folder and send an invite to my wife's email to share my dropbox once those 5 things were done it said completed and I had my 50GB.

Yes, did all that, sorry but thought I had said all that before.
With all the steps done I can't think of anything more to do.
In my Dropbox Settings/Bonus Space it simply is not showing another Samsung product and thus not adding an additional 48GB of allowance.

It would seem I am not the only one with this issue ~ https://forums.dropbox.com/topic.php?id=63260&page=15
I have raised a ticket with them, as reading through those 15 pages the Dropbox staff have not replied to any of the comments raised during the past month.
Sorry. I wonder if it was a limited time offer?

FWIW, the extra space is only active for two years, so no real loss.

Tether without root - like Note 4

it's the same from the note 4. y
you'll need to call to get your MSL first. going through the automated prompts took longer than getting the MSL from the CSR (who was extremely nice BTW).
after that follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-sprint/general/lollipop-hotspot-root-flashing-t3048163
this'll hold me over until we get root and hopefully some dev here. seems ours has the OEM unlock in dev settings. dunno if that means anything, but hope that it means unlocking the bootloader is easy.
Worked for me thanks. Not sure why to root yet. Damn thing is nice. And the fingerprint wow
yep first phone with a fingerprint reader and I'm impressed. it's almost a must have now!
And got the MSL easy from the chat
How to root?

What did you tell them you need it for? I keep trying and they keep denying me.
Thanks.
never mind.... I simply told them I like to mod my phone and needed the number for access to certain menu's and they gave it to me without problem.
I need it cause im a developer. For programming reasons
If you have a sprint 64gb try clicking view instead of edit after ##3282# should let you edit apn without being grayed out (at least it worked on mine) not tested on 32gb note 5

Is your phone leased or easy pay? I understand it is harder to get if it is.
Did you tell them you were a developer and needed it for that?
Good luck!

I was told "Agent : The MSl will be displayed and can be requested if you decide to pay the End of Lease purchase amount for your phone by the end of your 24 months lease." because my line has a leased agreement on it but I used another line to upgrade and did a 2yr agreement on that line and was told "Agent : Alright, the phone was upgraded at a discounted price in exchange for a two year agreement. And the MSL of the phone will be accessible and can be requested as soon as the 2 year contract agreement has been completed on 8/20/2017" Soooooo.....I'm gonna have to work some "developer" magic on another agent later and see what happens.
after 8 tries they finally gave it to me. every time i did mention i was a developer
but i couldnt get the hotspot working. keep saying i dont have a hotspot plan

You should have told them you were having trouble with LTE, dont ever tell them what you really need it for you are likely to bring this to their attention to patch it [emoji35]

There is a flyer in the box that has instructions. Basically go to some website, register, wait for email for Netflix code, go to Netflix and enter code.

Anyone sell the Netflix with the S6 deal before? Is it OK?
From what I understand you get the code after registering for the vr promo which starts the 4th. I did the Netflix thing last year for me and my wife and we put both codes on the same account. Also you can cancel the account and get a refund from Netflix for the entire value of the codes.

Did you ever sign up for beta builds on the essential website? If so, did you check "send me offers and promotions" when you submitted your email? I'm assuming this is how you get on the mailing list. (I may be wrong)

I'm not sure. I have been on the beta builds as soon as they launched, and was getting OTA updates as well.
Amazon sells it $100 cheaper every day. Maybe there will be a better price from Amazon or BestBuy for a short of time. Stay tuned.
I received my $100 off code after signing up. It's only valid until June 7th though.

Nah when I ordered the phone it went through easy but then when I ordered a case 2 minutes later it really struggled had to try 3 or 4 times before it would let me pay.
Looks like there are 2 phones ordered on my account. One is paid for but the other has a Pay Now button. Guess the server messed up. Don't mind too much as long as they don't hold the order for the one that was paid
it worked in 8th-9th attempt
Has any of you guys paid for order and still says pay now on account ? i have checked bank ac and they have taken payment out
In Spain website you can purchase OnePlus 6 without any problem. Fast and accuracy. Tested 2 minutes ago.

I logged a ticket on the support portal and they have came back with
Hello There,
Thank you for contacting OnePlus customer support. My name is Sydney and I will be assisting you for today.
I understand that although your order was canceled, the payment was still removed from your account. I understand how frustrating it is to have your order canceled and have already paid for it.
Just wanted to clarify that our orders are automatically canceled if payment has not been completed within the hour. Looking at your order details it seems that the payment was not able to go through to our database.
Just wanted to ask what mode of payment did you use to process the payment. Looking forward to hearing from you soon,
Regards,
Sydney
