Free 50GB Dropbox storage for Samsung Galaxy Note II and Samsung Galaxy Camera

Hi,


Looks like the new Samsung Note II and Samsung Galaxy camera users will have a pre-installed application of Dropbox storage when the switch on their devices for the first time. 

This Dropbox storage will allow Samsung Galaxy Note II and Samsung Galaxy camera store their files/documents, photos and media file and allow seamless sharing of these files every where and when to all Samsung Devices. 

According to engadget : "Dropbox and Samsung have renewed their vows with a deal that'll provide 50GB of free storage for two years to owners of the new Galaxy Note II and Galaxy Camera. As you'd expect, this means the Dropbox app will be pre-installed, and it also ensures that users will have easier access to their media files. Before you get too excited, however, there's no guarantee that this well-intentioned promotion will pass muster with US carriers -- we've certainly seen a few hopes dashed in the past." click here for more

What actually Dropbox is? well from what I have read Dropbox is a company that provide a virtual space which is a cloud server. a storage sever located else where in the world and available virtually inside a vast and complex and highly secured internetwork cloud. and you can access it any time from your smartphone,tablet, anywhere as long as you have an internet connection via you broadband or wife hot spot, in lay man term (correct me if I am wrong) this is basically a virtual hard disk, and allows your to sync your files will all your gadget as long as it is connected to the internet.

So what Samsung has offer to their users is basically a 2 year free 50Gb of virtual space, via a collaboration with Dropbox that provided this memory space to Samsung users, but after 2 year my guess is you will still have your Free Dropbox space but no longer a 50Gb space, in fact lesser. I am not sure what is the free Dropbox space but to know more about Samsung and Dropbox offer you can visit Dropbox official site.

Kernel Upgrade for Samsung Note

Dear All,

Hi How is everybody today, its Tuesday here in Malaysia and it is still a public Holiday for the Hari Raya, it's a replacement holiday for Sunday, because the first day of Hari Raya falls on Sunday, our replacement holiday falls on Tuesday. Tomorrow will by my first day to work after a long Hari Raya Holiday.

Anyway, today's post is about my recent Samasung Galaxy Note GT-N7000. THe update happen while I was doing my recent post about the problem occurred after upgrading from Ginger Bread version 2.3 to Ice Cream Sandwich ver4.0.3 and the only solution to that problem is upgrade it to ICS version 4.0.4.

I glad the post draw quite an interest to my readers, and today's post is about my recent kerne update. I perform manual update once a while. and somehow there was small update took place for my Samsung Galaxy Note, at first i thought it was another ICS version upgrade from ICS version 4.0.4 to ver 4.0.5 and to my surprise it was not a full version upgrade instead it was only a Kernel version update. here are the images I took from a screen shot before upgrade and after upgrade of the Samsung Kernel version.

Previously run Kernel version dpiDELL166 #3 

Currently run Kernel version dpiDELL141 #3
I am not so sure about the the differences, but one this for sure I read from the internet that apart from the battery life issue when upgrading to ICS 4.0.3 there is a serious temperature problem after a long period of web browsing. 

I experienced the temperature increase quite frequently, since I always put my data broadband service on active 24/7 do felt I felt an extreme heat in my pocket once in a while, and after pull it out, man I tell you the heat was so bad That I had to put my phone nest to my car air-conditioner. 

Not sure during the previous update to ICS version 4.0.4 help solved the temperature problem, because after upgrade the short upgrade there is no more temperature issue arrises. so far since Saturday update from 3.0.15-N7000DXLR2 to 3.0.15-N7000DXLR5.



Anyone have any information about the kernel build recent update? please I welcome any information about the recent update, or my other guess is its a transition version for Samsung Galaxy Note to Latest Android version JellyBean.... rumours has it that Android JellyBean has been release in Germany...
