Selling S5 - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone I am going to sell my S5 and was wondering if I will still be able to keep the Samsung perks like the 50gb Dropbox 2 year deal. Does anybody know?

Anyone on SWAC accounts is about to start being charged an extra $10 a month soon too... well those with smart phones anyway, not just "4G" phones
OP, where is this from? Thanks.
Im on a SWAC account and the SWAC people told me via email that i would be able to activate the Epic 4g you buy one at full retail price ($500). Now i just need to find a store to sell one to me off contract.
Well at least this answers my question regarding whether I can buy it at launch day as well via the new ERP. So good news for me. It may not be much of a discount but any discount is better then none.

GET 50GB from dropbox NOW

I dont know if most are aware but it seems as if samsung or some of the carriers are doing a dropbox promotion for 50GB of free cloud storage for 2 yrs. A hell of a deal on already a very capable phone. I called up sprint to ask about the promotion and they hadnt heard of it. Fortunately, I did not quit and stumbled upon this link
https://www.dropbox.com/gs
I kno it seems like bs, but do the 7 steps on the screen. After doing that my drop box went from 2GB to that plus 50GB.

..it's extremely old news that the Galaxy S III was launching with 50 GB of temporary Dropbox space. It was widely reported that AT&T and other U.S. carriers had "opted out" of the promotion and denied it to US customers.
Are you a U.S. phone user or other? I wasn't aware any U.S. Galaxy S III owners could get in on the promotion.

I think Sprint and T-Mobile opted in on the 50 GB promotion.
This is a hackaround...

AT&T and Verizon models are not eligible for this promotion. It is well known that the Sprint and T-Mobile versions are. If you are on the latter two carriers, then you will be credited this automatically when you set up Dropbox on your S3. Thanks to Dropbox crediting me with about 25 gigs (because I logged in on a ROM that had been ported from the One X. This was unintentional on my part) a couple of months ago along with other promotions I went for I have 81.25 GB of storage with my account for free.

You probably didn't go through the how to.
If you go to your local T-Mo store, you can factory reset a HTC One S, log into DB, fly through the menu and log out. Get I think it was an additional 20-25GB on top of your 50GB you just got.
Its my understanding that you need to login through the phone every so often or it will assume you've just signed in from a device for the free space.

I think to get the free promotion u must start it from your device. Im really not sure if its carrier specific but I have Sprint and its working. Its also NOT a known promotion by Sprint for those who believe it is.
I dont know how it would work if you already have an account, I just made a new one to insure I would get mines...I did

You need to read your Sprint quick start manual that came with the box. There is a page that references the dropbox promotion. That's how I re learned of it after having completely forgotten about the promo from months ago
sent from my Sprint galaxy s3
What page is that?
Edit: I see it on page 3...what's weird is that no one knew anything about it at my local corporate store...and that's here in NYC smh
You must go to their site online on your pc & do 5 of the 7 requirements & it will upgrade you to 52gigs.

Offer only for new member.
I bought it. It works great. I had a problem with the domain and I contacted the live support and they solved the problem immediately.
do we have to go with 5.95/month after 1yr ?
Is there any 2-3 year commitment ?
I dont think so. After 1 year only if i get a nice price i will continue with this hosting company.
iPage is good. I use them to host my 7 websites. Not as good as hostmonster which I miss. But they are good.
Just got mine!!! Thank you for catching this!

Thanks given. I have my sites hosted through greengeeks and have been happy so far but went ahead and jumped on this. For $1 I'm not worried bout getting banned from the service which greengeeks has threatened me with. (I like to upload and share lots of files) Good post man, thanks for the info. :good:
Hey, just got the service and it seems to be working great! And it doesn't look like you are in any sort of 2yr thingy.
thanks! i got one for $1. I've been wanting to try putting up a website for a while now, this is a good deal to try my hands on but not shell out a lot of money if it turns out i'm not really into it.

They really suck you in. Renew for 2 years is $192, i just chatted with CS. Will you leave all your stuff there (website setup) to cancel after 1 year. Answer your own

yeah was looking at the regular rates after the 1 year and noticed their language implied that they billed lump sum for x number of months after... with my finances, I can only do monthly. Live chat CS confirmed for me too... oh well

From what I understand its part of the deal. I had a GN 10.1 before and got the 50GB on dropbox so its in there.
Good through the end of the year?
From this info on Samsung's website it looks like it is good through the end of the year here in the US. http://www.samsung.com/us/register-for-your-galaxy-perks/#note-10-1

The 50 + 25 credit for hub and play store is a great deal in its self.
Does anyone know if I have to use the dropbox app or can I still take advantage of teh 50GB with dropsync?
Also I wasn't aware of the $50 credit for samsung hub and the $25 credit for google play! That's awesome. Does anyone know if purchased movies or tv shows from media hub are streamed or is it downloaded locally?

I'm almost positive that it doesn't matter what app you use. You just have to unlock the extra space one, and then it'll be usable from any app or the website or whatever.
Does anybody have experince with the bonus stuff for users outside of the US? The stores I see it at don't mention any bonus stuff, but I wouldn't be surprised if they weren't aware of any that.

i'm hoping you do. there was no indication on my dropbox account there was any extension of my free year as the expiration date didn't change, but as soon as september rolled around, i got an extra year.
so i can't make any guarantees, but it would be crappy if they didn't allow to stack.

I really hope you don't get two years of 50gb Dropbox since you purchased both an N3 and an N10.1. The Samsung link says you get two years of 50gb for the N10.1, so I hope you get 3-4 years total!

Verizon Nexus 6 - $200 Gift Card if you Upgrade through Comcast Link

UPDATE - Gift Card is now only $50 for upgrades thru 6/30/15 but $150 for new lines.
Only until the 23rd. But 6 months of free Google Play Music AND a $200 gift card is a great deal!!!!!! Phandroid is reporting that the Verizon N6 comes with 6 months of free GPM if you buy it by the 31st.
http://www.comcast.com/verizon-wireless.html
You do not need to be a Comcast subscriber to qualify for this promotion. Some times the gift cards take forever to get to you and sometimes you have to make multiple phone calls to get them. But eventually I got mine when I bought another device through this link a year ago.
Edited - The Nexus 6 is on the Comcast link now. To find the Nexus 6 on the Comcast link, you have to hit the "All Devices" tab at the top and then search for the Nexus 6 or filter by Motorola brand.
Thank you so much for posting this! Looking forward to using it! Would you,or anyone else, happen to know if there is a method to use with this promotion and preserve grandfathered unlimited data? I have one unlimited line and two basic lines. Additionally, my current phone is a galaxy s3 and the sim card size is different. Would taking both phones to a Verizon store and asking them to activate a new sim card negatively affect my unlimited plan? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

That would be the worst possible thing to do. There are several methods you can use depending on which lines on your account are eligible for upgrades. Be sure and read the wiki on that thread I posted a link to.
Thank you so much for your prompt reply! I actually ran across that threat while researching the topic! I will definitely read through the wiki! Thanks again! =D Oh I was also wondering if you were going to get a Nexus 6 when it's officially released for Verizon, if you don't mind me asking. Hopefully they get the 64 gb cloud white version >.< not likely though since all of the other carriers only have the midnight blue 32gb version .

Yes, I am getting the N6, just deciding whether or not to get the Verizon since Phandroid leaked the info in Verizon's system that shows only the 32GB blue one will be coming to Verizon. The good news is that you get 6 months of free Google Play Music!
http://phandroid.com/2015/03/08/verizon-nexus-6-pricing-availability-leak/
I really want the white 64GB one but the free GPM x 6 months along with the $200 comcast gift card is really tempting. And I rarely if ever see the white 64GB available on Motorola or Google Play Store.
JulesJam said:
I really want the white one but the free GPM x 6 months along with the $200 comcast gift card is really tempting. The only thing holding me back is that my upgrade is on a basic line and I am going to try to transfer it to another basic line and see if that allows me to keep my upgrade. For some reason and no one knows why, when you do an upgrade transfer through Verizon online, some people are keeping their upgrades and not getting contract extensions. Obviously it is a glitch in the Verizon system, but I would like to take a chance and see if it works for me.
When people did the transfers through the Comcast link, they did not keep their upgrades and their contracts were renewed, but they got the gift cards. The Comcast link is through the iconic portal and it must process the orders differently is all I can guess.

I will update my results on the slick deals thread. I actually edited out that part of my post that you quoted b/c I would rather the upgrade questions be posted on the slick deals thread as it really is a complicated situation and people need to read the wiki over there before they attempt any of the methods. I don't want people trying any of the methods w/o reading the wiki so it is better to keep the upgrade method discussion over there IMO.
I thought all Nexus 6's came with 6 months free of GPM. I was given it when I first logged in.

The $200 gift card is available for any smartphone you get so you don't have to go with an N6 to get it.
Again, it may take some work to get it, I had to make a few phone calls before I got mine and it took 3 months to get it last time but I did eventually get it.

Yeah but I think the Nexus 6 is the only device on Verizon I really want right now. If this were to extend into next month I would go with the S6 probably, but I wouldn't be too upset with the Nexus 6 either.

Nope, link takes me thru where I enter VZ account info and then I could select a unit on edge, and they say edge in the promotion - Copied from their site: "Exclusive Online Offer
Requires new tablet activation or new 2-year or Edge activation of a new smartphone.", just that one cant yet obviously select the N6 until Thursday ...
