I had a similar issue using Google Books and I had to call their 1800 number and I got them to take out the other devices on the account and I was able to use it again......Let me see if I can find the number
[EDIT]
Ok there's two numbers you can call.... 650-623-4000 or 866-246-6453
I got those numbers from this site btw http://www.contacthelp.com/directory/Internet/Web+Sites/Google?ListingID=142

I haven't had any issues with mine, I've never had to even unregister a device yet and I have 3 devices using the same main account. :-/ I always restore the app+data from TiBu tho

I haven't had an issue yet and I'm wiping and flashing left and right here. I just go into the settings from my laptop and remove some devices then I'm good to go.

Well watch out. I have read that they are doing these with 60 days. Its depressing

So does restoring app+data when doing a Titanium backup restore count as another authorization? I don't always restore Google Music with Titanium when I flash a new ROM. I'm sitting at 7 authorizations right now so I'm scared to do any testing. In reality, I just have my Evo and my home PC tied to my G-Music account.

I was able to talk to someone about my account. I just went to
http://support.google.com/googleplay/bin/request.py?hl=en&policy=music&contact_type=contact_policy
and logged my info. Got a call with about 2 seconds and they are escalating the issue to get my account cleared of authorizations. They said they would email a followup in 1-2 business days. The guy I talked to on the phone was extremely helpful and said that he thinks that they're looking at changing the method of how they authenticate a device. So hopefully he's not just telling me what I want to hear. We'll see.

wierd... i noticed on my google account it has 2 devices but only those 2. i have never had to remove any before and i flash roms religiously. basically a weekly sometimes daily basis haha and i have been rooted and flashing since january 2011
EDIT: and to clarify those same 2 have been there since i rooted. no others were ever added to it.

It's fixed now. I can deauthorize again.

I know they fixed mine too. I called them yesterday and said I'm a developer and do roms. I know I'm not but I hope that helped

You have to do more than register yourself for dropbox to claim the free 50 gig storage.. Go to your dropbox dashboard and you'll find an option in the sidebar: GET STARTED or GET FREE STORAGE or something like that..!! Go to that page and it will have instructions.

Also the instructions are as follows:
1 Take the Dropbox tour Complete!
2 Install Dropbox on your computer Complete!
3 Put files in your Dropbox folder Complete!
4 Install Dropbox on other computers you use Complete!
5 Share a folder with friends or colleagues Complete!
6 Invite some friends to join Dropbox Complete!
7 Install Dropbox on your mobile device Complete!
BTW. These are the instructions and a complete! will be shown when you have completed them. You only need to complete 5 of them, but you can do all to get more free space. I have hence have the access to about 52.75 GB of Dropbox Space.
Another trick:
Follow these steps with your existing account and select a new account for your device. Follow instructions again. Voila. You have another 50 GB space in a separate account. In all over 100GB of free space. If you want another 50 GB, you can get it the same way, but you'll have to Factory Reset you phone.

S4 Dropbox offer/multiple offer question

Hi all,
I dont really know which forum to post this in but i'll try here..
I am currently using a HTC One X, which I recieved 25GB of Dropbox storage via the promo offer they had when purchasing the phone last year.
I will now be purchasing a Samsung Galaxy S4 within a couple of weeks & wanted to know if anyone from a similar situation can confirm if the Samsung 50GB offer will get ADDED to the HTC 25GB? Or will it be ineligible?
I've done some searching but seem to be coming across conflicted info..
I have found a lot of former S3 users reporting that they are ineligle after purchasing the S4 as they can only have ONE Samsung promo running at any one time but as my situation is from two different manufacturers, I am curious to see if this is possible?
Thanks guys

Hi,
As I understand it,you will only get the 50GB if you open a new account.
This will only last 2 years.
Then, they take it back.
It will certainly not be added to any other account you have.

Thanks for your reply malybru,
Just to clarify, so this offer is only available for NEW Dropbox users not current account holders?

It was not true in my case. It got added to my existing account bumping the space fron 7GB to 55GB (48GB got added)

Who told you that? I have used it on existing account and now i have 105Gb Space (Galaxy S4 + Samsung Note 10.1)
But I wonder if the time will extend every time i add these promotion deals.. That's the real question! (More than likely it won't but we'll see)

Any Dropbox promo for the Note 4?

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.
Edited to add: though it says "If you're new to Dropbox". So YMMV.

Microsoft gives 30GB by enabling auto photo upload. Not sure will it expire.
If DropBox gives 50GB for 2 years.. what then? Buy Note 5?

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.

Did you remember to Claim your 50GB Dropbox Space for 2 Years

Did you remember to Claim your 50GB Dropbox Space for 2 Years, Exclusive to T-Mobile Note 4 only.
| BE SURE TO CREATE A NEW DROPBOX ACCOUNT TO AVAIL THE 50GB. YOU CAN TRANSFER YOUR OLD DROPBOX ACCOUNT TO THE NEW DROPBOX ACCOUNT; 50GB VALID FOR TWO YEARS |

Since I already claimed it when I bought my Note 2 a couple of years ago, they wouldn't give me this offer again when I tried to register with the same account. I know I should have signed up with another account but I really don't need one or I can just easily find another free cloud storage.

I just used my another gmail address to get 50gig since I still have my note 2. Now on my pc I have two instances of dropbox running.

As the OP has stated to me in another thread, all you have to do is create a new account and you will get your 50 gigs. I did this last night and worked great. Got another 50 gigs for another 2 years.

This happened to me too. I'm pretty upset about it too. One of the reasons I chose the Note 4 was because of this offer.
Now I'm cleaning out my dropbox of the huge stuff so I can use it for simple backup. Because of this fiasco I doubt I'll ever pay for dropbox.

Open the app on your phone and create a new account. You will need a computer as well. Part of the process of getting the 50 gigs is to install it on your computer, add some files and a couple other things. Once you have done that, the drop box account will update to 50.75 gigs.

Did you get a list of things to do from the site on your computer? Meaning, when you went to the site on dropbox to download the app, you should get a set of instructions on how to proceed. Once you meat 5 out of 7 of the requirements, you get the 50 gig upgrade and it is automatic. You should receive an email as soon as you meet the requirements.

Best thing to do is associate another e-mail address you might have with a new Dropbox Account when signing up through your Note 4. You must be having a T-Mobile Note 4 to do this.

I'm assuming you availed the 50GB from a previous Samsung offer other than pertaining to the Note 4.
To transfer the data, share all the files from your old account to the e-mail address associated with your new account. From there, go into your newly made Dropbox account, you will see all the files you shared with yourself from your old account. There will be an option to Add all the files currently shared with you, to your new Dropbox.
