LG Google Drive Bonus - LG V20 Guides, News, & Discussion

Don't forget to claim your 100GB upgrade (for 2 years only) to Google Drive from LG.

I haven't claimed mine. Probably won't as it would be a waste for me.

I've had that happen on my last 2-3 phones,including this one.
I ended up trying another of my G-Mail accounts & it took.
Guessing I've maxxed out on the amount of freebie storage on my main G-Mail account, gotta wait until some of the free storage expires before loading it up again. (Currently have 319 GB total to use).

Just added this to my already 1 terabyte of drive storage, seems kind of pointless, but it is free so why not.

Verizon customer we r lock out of this.. smdh

It would not let me claim I guess because I just got another 200 from a chromebook 2 weeks ago.
Sent from my LG-LS997 using Tapatalk

I was able to claim since this is my first time ever claiming something like this.

I couldn't claim this either and I'm not sure if I've ever gotten free storage through drive. I'm pretty sure my account is only for 15 gigs.

Nevermind apparently I have 115 gigs. Must of used a promotion from my note 5 or something.

Does Verizon offer this promotion or is this TMobile only? I haven't seen this pop up and I've logged in w/ 2 different Google accounts.....

I didn't get anything with my Verizon phone. I chatted with a google drive rep and told me to call LG. I spoke with LG, and they didn't know anything about it.
They told me I needed to buy a lg g4.

T-Mo sending out Gift cards

http://www.tmonews.com/2011/07/t-mobile-loves-you-sends-out-gift-cards/
Got mine in the mail today Thanks but that still doesn't make me forget about the hassle you put me through with the Vibrant and the G2X, maybe if it was 200 then I would let it slide..hahaha
Cool. Basically going right back to them for my next months bill.
Hmm, I will need to wait to see if I get one in the mail. This could mean an upgrade slightly sooner. Trying to decide between G2x and Sensation. Really like the G2x more, but I'm just worried about quality and reliability.
Is every customer getting one? I didn't see any criteria in the link?

Got mine today! Not too shabby, although Sprint gives me more $$ in discounts per month than this...
Sprint coverage sucks if I leave the Cities, but I really cant complain with unlimited mobile to mobile minutes, unlimited 4g data, and yearly upgrades for $52/mo
Yeah I wonder how they selected who gets one. I'm sure their not sending it to everyone.

Has anyone thought of who else to buy from?
It's dropping for $250... that's a lot of money. I want to get it for $200 somewhere.
I usually buy from Sam's or Radioshack... may be cheaper.

Darn! I just tried this too. I'm on an unlimited plan, so I activated the phone on a different line, then switched it over to my line. I wonder if that had anything to do with it.
is this a root problem, or bootloader? You could try to run "root cloak" app on Xposed Framework. I know that worked for people wanting to get ISIS wallet to work. It fools the app into thinking that you are not rooted.
It didn't check for root or anything

They typically don't need to ask for root. If you are rooted try root cloak. Have you edited your build prop or super cid?

I just read this article: http://www.pocketables.com/2014/04/thinking-rooting-htc-one-m8-hold-second.html
Apparently if your bootloader is unlocked Drive will not activate the bonus storage. In the comments someone relocked their bootloader and was able to activate the promotion. I am not that interested to relock for the promotion, but maybe right before it expires.

Just call HTC. Explain you didn't recieve the promo and they will ask u for your imei ams then email u a link to activate it. This is what I did and worked flawless. I now have 75GB.

Raising this topic from the dead in case anyone else is in the same boat as me...
I didn't even know about this feature but recently read about it when they upgraded existing users to 100GB. I unlocked my device the day I got it so never opened the stock drive application.
I called the 888 number and they just asked for my IMEI and email address and they sent me an email. I already pay for 100GB, so they added another 100GB on top of that.
Thanks!
Odd, I didn't have any issues getting the promotion and I unlocked/rooted (with Firewater) day 1 as well.

Glad it still works months later. Are y'all rooting, and then trying to get your storage space? Or what's the hiccup?

No hiccup. Just to bump/confirm, I contacted HTC using their email contact form (see here http://www.htc.com/us/contact/email/), and just now got email with a link to activate my shiny new 100GB Google Drive storage good for two years. Clicked and confirmed, all good. Pleasantly surprised after I procrastinated on the initial offer of just 50GB, lol.

Theory is, that's how they find out if you're rooted. Deny it permission, and freeze the app, and they won't know.

Sprint replacement phone's anyone got on yet

Has anyone received a replacement from Sprint yet? I keep staring at mine waiting for it to self combust. Not sure if i should return mine and go back to the note 4 or not. if the consumer protection agency actually releases a statement saying that we should discontinue using our phone could sprint or samsung actually deny the exchange if we ignore it?

I think we have to wait until the Government approves the replacements. So who know when that will happen. I did go back to my note 4 but have not returned the Note 7 yet. Waiting to see how long it will take to get those replacements. If within a week or so, then will wait, if more than a month, then returning the Note 7 for now and getting my upgrade back and will decide whether to buy it again later or just wait for the Note 8.
Sprint guy today told me he expects mid next week before they start trickling in.
I received this email from Samsung 4 days ago
