Opened up the Readers Hub today, just to check if it was working yet, and was welcomed by two little green 'install' buttons on both the magazines and newspapers option. These buttons open up a Samsung modified app installer, and now...it's all working.
This is in Switzerland, running an unbranded unlocked 16GB SGT on Swisscom Liberty Grande contract.
EDIT: Ok, my excitement is growing less by the minute. While it works nicely, it seems there's no free content, neither in Newspapers nor in Zinio. Even the free papers that you can pick up at every bus stop around here (20Minuten) want to charge you. Not interested in paying for news when I can just use the the browser to read the online version for free.
EDIT 2: Right, it seems when you go through the Zinio website there's an option to search for free issues, and there's quite a few good ones there. No such option on PressDisplay however.
hm, still waitin...buy the way tnx for report
Just checked mine here in the UK and was greeted with the install buttons
Thanks for the heads up.

Just showed up for me today in Australia too.
Installed and bought a few issues through Zinio already.
Running well so far except for one of my subscriptions having problems downloading.
Got to laugh, daily star which costs around 35 pence or maybe less for a hard copy is costing 99 pence per issue. Not tempted to go digital at that price, just going to do the usual and fire up the car on a morning and buy it

Zinio is great value, as a UK magazine reader being able to subscribe to US versions of magazines for around $10 for a years subscription is superb value to me! (They look great on my iPad, hoping they look just as good on my RoadWarrior SGT!)
With PressReader, if you have an online subscription to The Times (about £9 a month) you can download the Daily and Sunday editions (+All the extra magazines), perfect for my commute!
The readers hub was a huge deciding factor for me in buying a SGT, Im looking forward to trying it out once I get home today!
i have the tmobile tab and i don't even see the readers hub app. How can I get it?
too bad zinio is mostly usless for non-english ppl. I don't get why we get kobo and zinio but no media hub in europe.

Also in the UK. Works fine
PS: free samples can be added to your Zinio account via the web interface. Then use the app to read the content.
Note: By the way, my Galaxy Tab is flashed with the latest P1000XWJK1 firmware (November 2010). I don't think this would make a difference, as the Samsung App Market functions normally (I see 2 apps in there).
WTH? So I just lost access to my FHM subscription on the galaxy tab. Even the issue that I had downloaded earlier today had magically vanished.
Can't even see similar magazines through the tab any more.
I hope this is isn't some kind of iPad compatibility issue... What with it being two competing devices with different philosophical views on censorship.
can someone post the zinio apk. in my hub, i installed the kobo one
Here in Finland in Tab there is Readers hub with PressDisplay, Kobo and Zinio.
PressDisplay gave some freebies.
In Kobo there is about 200 free books to choose.
Zinio, no freebies.
About PressDisplay; the biggest newspaper in Finland, Helsingin Sanomat is missing, only 11 smaller ones available. And yes, those free trainstation-takeaway-b****-publications cost also 0,99€ -no thanks.
First I was exited, but not any more. Newsroom is still my killer app.
Greediness kills a lot good ideas.
PressDisplay and Zinio now online in the Philippines. Finally!!!!

You will need the .apk files for those programs.
If the generous international users can dump their .apk files for us Americans, it would be greatly appreaciated. Sharing is caring.

EDIT: APPARENTLY, ONLY WORKS IF YOU ARE BRAZILIAN. Sorry for the rest of you guys, I didn't know that =/
I'm not aware of any topics stating this, so I'll publicize my discovery. If everybody already knows, please forgive me for being the slowpoke.
If you register your product's IMEI on the site you get a coupon for Dropbox that, when inserted, gives you another 2GB of storage.
I'm not sure if other countries have this promo, so if your don't, go into www.samsung.com.br, it's the brazilian site, or chose the country in the location selector. In the lower left corner of the screen there is a big dropbox icon that is the promotion thing. The instructions should be easy to follow even in a completely unknown language, or you could use Google Translator. Here goes a quick run-down anyway:
The first stage (Etapa 1) simply teaches you how to download dropbox from market. If you have to follow those instructions, don't forget to jump out the window afterwars. So just click "avançAr" (next).
The second stage teaches you how to create a dropbox account. I don't believe a single being in this forum doesn't have one, so... next.
The third stage is where you have to create your Samsung account if you don't have one yet. After that, you'll have to register your product via IMEI, which is in Settings - About Phone - Status.
As a last step, you'll get your coupon on the Samsung site, then you have to go to www.dropbox.com/coupon and insert the code.
Enjoy and click "Thanks" if this helped you =)
the site did not recognize my existing samsung account, when i enter my email it wanted to create a new one. this was not possible because i dont have a valid CPF (brasilian tax number)...
I though it accepted worldwide accounts. My bad =/
I really want this to work, but it's not taking my dropbox email. I'm pretty sure I have a brazillian note.
If you want more space on Dropbox, just make virtual PCs and "invite" them to your account. You don't even need a real e-mail to register now. No need to give out your personal data to a brazilian website.
I've already hit my referral limit (with actual referrals). Who says I'm giving samsung brazil my personal information?
Edit: I've somehow made it to the part where it asks my IMEI, but it's not taking it... Oh well! I am 95% sure my note it Brazilian.

You could always use a site like http://www.geradorcpf.com/ to generate a fake cpf.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
well, it worked for me, using both the CPF and IMEI generators There goes an extra 2gb
I wouldn't be bothering with Dropbox since box.com gives out 50gb, but both Titanium Backup and SafeWallet both use it, so this is my everyday cloud service.
Next step - this weekend - is to bump up the storage another 8gb (depending on just how long each loop takes) via referrals on virtual pc's, as mentioned above. This link explains how: http://tippopotamus.blogspot.com/2010/01/how-to-get-525gb-on-dropbox-with-free.html
Don't see any dropbox images on the site :\
Heads up
This actually does work outside of Brasil.

Could anyone from Brazil PM me with a spare coupon? thanks.
Too bad that the link for the IMEI (step 7) is dead...
Its over. The site says that the number of avaliable cupoms has been reached.
Eww I missed this promo.
Thx god there're still 50Gb on my Box acc lolz.

Limited to 2 years...
Just a heads up, for a limited time, if you sign into your box.com account from your Xperia device, the account is automatically upgraded from the free 5gb account to a 50gb. For those that don't know about Box, it's pretty much just like Dropbox. I actually just installed it on my son's Xperia Play just to login and upgrade the account, then I uninstalled it from his phone.
That's great to know. How does it stack up against Dropbox?

I like the web interface better, and it's easier to copy a shared link. With Dropbox, you have to place the file in the public folder if you want to share it. The one area where Box has an epic fail is that they want you to upgrade to a pay account in order to get a desktop sync client. Hopefully this will change in the future, but right now all of your uploading has to be done through a browser or a mobile client. I believe there are some 3rd party apps which may help out, but the actual sync client from Box only comes with a paid account. For this reason, I keep both Dropbox and Box. I only have the 2gb account with Dropbox, so the 50gb with box comes in handy for larger files.
Thank you!
Thanks for the heads up. Should come in handy.

Not quite. It was reported a couple months ago, but Box wasn't honoring their end of it. I guess Sony had let the promo slip before they were supposed to. Now I'm not sure when they got it fixed, but I just noticed it a couple of days ago. Anyway, no need to be an ******* about it. As you can see from previous posts, there are some that were not aware of it.

I know its been available since the 25th december cause thats when I got my xplay and upgraded my box account instantly.
Never hurts to have 50gb of cloud storage
It should be noted first that I want to disable all the Samsung Account crap I can from my Note. That said, I do wish to spend as much of my $50 as possible. Will movies or music purchased via the Samsung Store play on a regular computer or my phone?? I don't want something that has to log into Samsung every time to make sure I am authorized to use it. I've got enough of that issue with iTunes, but at least there I can purchase DRM free.
Thoughts on where to spend the $???
I too would like to know what others suggest. I've never used the hub, so I have no idea if things like music are tied to the account or can you download it and use on any device without issues.
ive poked around, ive spend about 20 of it.. not much in there i like, far.. and i mean far less goodies then google play... if ya ask me, they should have gave 25 for the hub, 50 for play
Music is what im buying. You can download straight to an sd card and your purchases are saved to your account for later download or streaming.

Can you copy your music to your computer and play them without issues? I'm guessing they are simple .mp3 files if you can. What bitrate quality are the songs?
Thanks!

I'm sure you can. I got in on that Jayz samsung promo, and all the files were pure mp3 with no DRM.
like everyone else has noticed, the Samsung store is pretty crappy and not much to spend $50 on.

For reference the credit expires in 30 days after issuance if not used and once activated 90 days later (cheap).
So don't sit on it too long! In fact let me register mine now.

Samsung's email tells you that a credit card is required to be on file when using the gift card...I think they are hoping that you end up spending a little extra.
So I can't decide what to waste my $50 credit on.
The book library is majorly lacking.
I'd rather buy an App from the Google Play store (don't want to deal with 2 separate locations.
Music? - Are these even normal Mp3s?
Movies - I dunno I guess I could rent a few.

People here should know that it does expire even if you redeem the code to your account. I'm not happy about that. I went to buy something 3 days after mine expired and i had 0 balance.
I bought a few games and TSF launcher which wasn't up to date. Had to email the dev who game me the latest. I think a lot of the software are not up to date. So if there's a new one I have to email the devs each time

When I purchased my note 2, it came with a 50gb dropbox promo, which is pretty awesome, but it'll be expiring in a few weeks. Does anyone know, or has anyone mentioned another similar promo for the Note 4?
I believe I read somewhere there is a Dropbox promo. 50gb the usual.

Yes, they are still giving 48 GB free (above the 2 GB already free) for two years with new Samsung devices.

The OneDrive 30 GB should be permanent. I use OneDrive for photo backups. I don't really use my Dropbox for much any more. I guess I should start storing my TiBu backups there, that makes sense.
Since the DropBox promo is for 2 years, you can wait until the Note 6 to buy a new one.

TiBackups require root. Right?
If I'm not mistaken if you root latest Samsung flagships you alter the security fuse (warranty issues; can't use encryption anymore or something).
Just not sure if I'll be a fan of rooting anymore. Not an issue with Nexus phone at the moment.

All true. I'm on my Note 2 still at the moment, which is rooted. I want to put my TiBu backups on Dropbox for whenever I do change phones. obviously it will be useless if I get an AT&T Note 4, though.
I'm also interested in the new Nexus now that the rumors are pointing to basically a 5.92" Moto X with a big battery. We'll see what they ultimately reveal.
I'm not super concerned about warranty, and I will definitely root my new phone if it's rootable. I have enough lines at AT&T to bully my way into a free replacement.

Once you've used Xposed, ad blockers, titanium and other root tools that make our devices super-devices, there's no turning back! LOL :laugh:
If Samsung fails to cover a hardware problem because the device is rooted, they're gonna get sued.
