Hi, I'm getting a one x from my friend but he's already used dropbox with his own account and got the 25gb added on. Will I still be able to get the 25gb with my account too if I take his phone or is it on brand new handsets only?

Just reset the phone and then log into the app and it should give you the 25gb storage.

I have just installed the leaked GB rom and its all gone fine and is running perfectly expect the market.
I have two googlemail accounts (for the ease of explanation here A & B)
All my market purchases and downloaded are stored under account A, but for some reason if I go to the market there is nothing listed under "Apps" if I go to buy a new app it lists account B as the one which it wants to buy an app under.
How do I change from account B to A so the market place updates with my old purchases and will sync with https://market.android.com/ which has ALL my downloaded under my account.
Thanks
When you set up the phone, was the first Google account you added A or B? It needs to be A as primary.
If B you have no choice but to wipe / hard reset.

It was B (dont know why I did that) if I do a factory reset now and then when it reboots enter account A will it sync to that account as primary?
Yes.

Edit:
Thanks a lot, it just did that, opened the market up, it synced and is now dowloading everything I had before.
Much appreciated!

I've deleted them with no noticeable effects. I'd like to know what keeps generating them.
Opened up one of those files with a text editor an it seams to be generated by the email app (not sure its gmail or the email one) but they do tend to make going through your internal storage a pain when you scroll through 30 of them >.<
thanks, my internal storage is full of those files (70 aprox.), it may be because i use mail app almost every day
I apparently just deleted 570...
The file is generated by the stock E-mail app and if you remove the plain email and exchange app and download a different one it will rectify the problem

My friend broke his screen on his HTC trophy and he is unable to see anything on the screen. He cannot put in his password to unlock the phone. Does anyone have any ideas on how to transfer the contacts? Cellibrite will not work because the phone cannot be unlocked because the broken screen....

Phone is not unlocked.

He doesn't need to; they will all transfer automatically when he puts his sim card into a new windows phone and logs into his live account associated with his original phone. If he needs to see his contact have him visit his windowsphone.com account and view contacts.
If no sim card, no worries, just sign into new phone using the live id he used on the trophy.
I think that is part of the problem. He never did have a windows live account.

He had to set one up at some point to use the market, built in services like Office & Skydrive, Find My Phone ect. He's either got a "live" or "hotmail" account, and that is where his contacts will be stored. He could have had them sync elsewhere in addition to that (like gmail ect)
He has his replacement phone which is a HTC trophy as well. He has the phone up and going but his contacts are not there. What should he log into to bring up his contacts? Window market, his email account,... sorry for the newb question. I am use to android.
Sent from my HTC ThunderBolt using XDA Premium App
What for email did he use?
Windows live 1st... it is usually required.
Gmail?
Exchange?
Any of these he could have been saving contacts too. Just not pop3 like comcast for example.
Have him enter all of his email accounts that his previous phone used and see what happens after they sync.
Ok. Thanks

Not been funny or anything but who in their right mind would give out their details to strangers, especially when it holds important personal photos? Lesson learned I guess.

I've tried emailing it and no response
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Yeah,i didn't had a problem with him.Gave him the details,he added 50 GB,after i received the mail i immediately changed my dropbox password and ended his session with dropbox (you can do that from the website ) and i didn't had any problems.
I was in the same situation (mailed him an old account to play with) he also changed password and email, the only thing u can do is contact dropbox (support is sloooooooow)
U got pm
InsertCoined from my bricked One X
Ok,i've read some posts from here and i don't understand some things.If you change your password don't you instantly receive an email from dropbox with a link in it (the link dirrecting you to the password management section of dropbox)? And don't the same thing apply with the email?
He asks you to change your password.....he changed the email associated to the account and then rechanged the password
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
And Dropbox doesn't send you and email regarding this?I mean,if they send an email regarding the password with a link to retrieve the password,why wouldn't they do the same with the email?
The "change email" option that Dropbox offers i don't agree with it,i mean,email shouldn't be changed,honestly,or if so,they should make up a better prottection system if they allow you to do this.Anyway,i think you should contact Dropbox team to see how to solve this (but i doubt that they will do something about it).
I guess i was lucky .
The only thing that dropbox did, is sent an email...
Your email adress has been changed from... to ...
No confirmation link....
Safety first... lol

do you save them by phone or on your computer. Be sure you have your google account selected instead of phone or sim, or do you use multiple google accounts?
you could try
save a contact on your phone
check on gmail if the new contact is present
switch roms en check on your phone
Hi,
I do it by phone and when i save them i select google.
I only use 1 google account.
Its with every rom even when i use RUU my contacts are gone
