I have a spare Google Voice Invite

I signed up for google voice months ago, and today got an invite through
Unfortinatly, its for US users only and i live in the UK.
Im willing to give this to someone here who is a active member of the forum, lives in the US and who deserves it because he/she helps people or has made great contributions to this forum ect.
So I think we should take a vote on who this goes to, and no voting for yourself. Whoever has the most votes gets it.

Too bad I'm pretty new to these forums, I would sure like one

Can I have it?

I'd be up for it.

I'm too new again to nominate anyone.
Course... I'm in the US and would love to have it :->

I'd love to have it.

If it is not tied to the email you signed up for in the waiting list, I too am willing to give out an invite.

i remember back when Gmail was invite only, i had the fortune to be one of the first and always gave invited out to everybody LOL
anyway, i would love to try this new voice service, any chance i could get an invite please??
thanks

A little tip for some of you guys. If you haven't already done so, go ahead and sign yourself up for an invite on the official google voice page.
Google is rolling out invites pretty fast right now. My brother signed up for an invite about 4 days ago and he just got his invite. He did sign up for an invite twice, don't know if that would make a difference, but trying doesn't harm anybody.
I already got mine about a month ago. Now if only we had an awesome app to work with.

Agreed this google voice thing is nice but without a app on wm its just doesn't do anything for me unfortunatly.

Still up for grabs if anyone who has a higher post count wants it.

Google voice seriously needs a Windows Mobile App.

I would like to give it a try if it's still available.
Not a mega poster or ROM developer, but try to help when I can.
Thanks!
Update: I got an invite from Google, no need to be considered. Thanks!
Google Voice is AWSOME Free Long Distance calls from home phone

i think it'd be nice to give it to someone with a high post count, contributed to the community and has at least a star next to their name. i'm not talking about myself.

nobody saw this app ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512865&highlight=dialer+google

GV Dialer
Though it costs 10$ after the 30 day trial www.gvdialer.com has a decent option.
It's the best I've used I think between OneDialer / iDialer, etc etc
It makes calling extremely easy, no doubt someone could replicate the concept and produce a similar app here.
Though we definitely need the ability to send texts.

Already saw those apps and I was concerned about privacy. Everything goes through a relay server which is not encrypted. The author of that app may have the best of intentions, but I don't take chances in this matter.

I'm not sure if my post count is high enough or how much contribution you're looking for but I had a few helpful posts in the early days of the Fuze, helped out Herg and 12aon with their interfaces and would love to have it if it's still available.

ITNV has the highest post count that was intrested in it so it has been sent to him.

I would like to try the google voice service. I do helps people in the forum and make roms for other. Hopes I can get the invite.

Everyone help join in and make google do this!!!!

guys, i started a discussion on GOOGLES FORUM regarding the implementation of google voice. PLEASE, add this. I use this so much, as do my colleagues, that im baffled by it not being used, especially since we all have ported numbers, it would be picture perfect. even if you dont have it....please just agree on the forum for them to add it so they can see the consumer need of it.
thank you CLICK BELOW (also please respond on this thread to let us all know you are helping the cause)

I would be tempted to PAY people to post there, I am so sick of them NOT adding these functions to the tablets due to US carrier greed and stupidity.

posted there...

Its moving fast!
Thank you guys. keep it going, google will listen. and even IF they were going to implement it...this will help them let us know..cause honestly..the suspense is killer.
Lets Go!

Help me understand how you want to use this with the Xoom. I know a little about Google Voice but I do not integrate it with my current phone... only play with it on the side.

Ok I read that thread. Someone help me understand something... do you guys want to carry around your Xoom and use it as your phone? Why?
I have no plans to stop using my Nexus One. I feel like a loser because I don't understand the big deal here. Someone explain it to me like I'm a child.

jesus christ no
ok clearly you dont get it. not a big deal.
its more then that, lets say im on my tablet, phone not near me
voice mails get transcribed/organized from it as well as textmessages (that are done through data!)
everything can be starred, controlled and archived
meaning you can organize your information on a much better level.
you can control how a voicemail are answered for particular people, have a do not disturb time as well.
you can download voice mails and phonecall recordings, and mail them.
its not so i can have a oversized phone. its just much, much more than that, and so convenient, so i can have that information on me and control it.
I hope this helped. you should try youtubing google voice videos to see just how amazing it is.
if you dont find it to fit your needs i understand (or you probably didnt really read more into it, i just got into it last year and pretty much got ALOT of people in it as well)
please help at least on the forum, much appreciated.

Yes, I'm looking forward to the day I can hold my Xoom to my head while walking through NYC and talking to my friends
I use GV on my ipad as I'll get text messages on that number. The GV client is for the iphone and doesn't scale up as nicely but it works. Also, I find it easier to listen to email and take notes on the larger screen.

Posted. Thanks for the link, that was quick and simple to add a reply on.
Lets cross our fingers!

I would've put money on this being an app Google would've included with the launch of 3.0. Posted.

thanks.
Posted.
Totally needs to be ported over.

Yeah can't believe that it's not implemented...posted

Off to throw in my comment. Count me into the people who don't use GV for voice, but for SMS and retrieving my VoiceMail. I'm in Europe a couple of times a year and this lets me stay connected to people in the States as it all works on WiFi too.
I'll bet that the only reason the .APK is FCing is 'cause it's tripping over the APIs needed for telephony, which probably aren't in a tablet-only codebase (right now). It might be as simple (OK, probably not ) as commenting that code out?

How about you just use it via the browser for now? Like how it was done on iPhone before apple let the app on the market.

... because if I'm going to have to manually check my browser every few minutes to see if I've gotten an SMS, it somewhat defeats the point doncha think? I've moved nearly everything that sends SMS (even my credit cards and my airlines) to GV SMS because you're not tied to any particular carrier.
Luckily I'm still carrying an Android phone so I get my notifications there, but I've piled on in the request thread so that they can hopefully get what must be a relatively-straightforward fix in before I have to leave the States again- I'd like to be able to use my Xoom for everything while abroad.

keep it going
decent amount of people have posted, im surpised google mods havent replied. ive seen them do some swift replies else where for the most part too...intresting

I've never used it but there again, I've never owned an Android-based device. Just wanted to support your endeavors!

[REQ] Need Beta Testers (Animated Children's Book) [ENDED]

Hi Guys,
I have spent several years in the device specific forums here at XDA and finally I need some help from the community.
The company I work for is developing animated children's book for Android, iOS (and soon WinPhone7).
As an avid Android user, I find cross-platform applications are often sub-par on Android, and even across devices within the Android platform. Our company is dedicated to writing our applications from the ground up on each platform and particularly in the case of Android to ensure that our applications look great across all devices.
We are looking currently for users with Android devices to test and give feedback, volunteers are to send me a private message with their username, hardware devices they can test on and OSs. They will be send a custom build featuring their username.
The requirements and requested feedback is as follows:
Requirements:
Android Phone or Tablet
Stock OS preferrable.
MDPI or higher device.
An Interest in Children's books.
We would LOVE to have this tested on a Xoom Tablet.
Feedback:
Screenshots
OS Version
Device Name
Comments on performance and appearance.
Testing at the moment is focussing on the performance and appearance of the application but comments regarding the "story" and it's illustration that are relevent would also be appreciated.
I'm not sure if the rules of advertising apply here but if you require more information feel free to PM me and I can provide a link to our website pending allowance from admins to post our name and address.
UPDATE: Thank you for all those who have helped and provided feedback. My apologies to those who have not yet had replies. The BETA has now ended and the product will be releasing very soon.

I'd like to beta test it.

Hi all,
I have now sent out the first few copies of the application for testing. I have replied to all PMs with either an email wit hthe file and instructions where supplied, or a request for a contact email to which I can send further instructions and the application.
If I have missed anyone I apologies, please message me again and I will get back to you as soon as possible. I have had a large number of PMs and I'm only human so in between relaxing for the weekend I have tried to reply to everyone without missing any out.
Thanks again and I look forward to some feedback from the community.

Me me me!
I'd love to test this out. My 3 year old and my soon-to-be-1 year old would love to be able to listen to different stories than the ones I've already bought. ^_^
And, to the person who wonders if this is practical... it truly is.
I'm sending a PM, hope I can be involved.

Hi Guys,
Please do send in more PMs. We have have had several testers on the Motorola XOOM tablet so we don't really need many more of them, but please if you have other devices get in touch, the BETA will be running for a day or two longer.

i am a stay at home dad with a 7 month old ..... i would be honored to be a part of something so important to the new generations development... lord knows the world will need our kids to be smarter

Google + invites

Hi Guys,
I am working with briandevlin(http://forum.xda-developers.com/member.php?u=3144157) and shedrule over at the X10 forums, to try and get more people from XDA into Google +. If you need an invite, please PM me or briandevlin and we will invite you asap
(In your pm, please include your Name and Gmail address, otherwise the invite will not go through)
Thanks!
Edit: Just to be clear, there is no official invite method for now, I am trying it through a loophole. Some of the people I invited got it, and when they clicked the link it told them it had exceeded capacity, but it did not work for most people.
Nevertheless, I can still try if you want me to, just dont be disappointed if it doesn't work.
I'm sure they will open it up soon enough.
For those of you who are already in, I'm @ gplus.to/rahul . Add me!
Further Update:
It looks like it is opening up to more people now. Head over to the Google Plus webpage and if you're lucky you will be able to sign up (not sure if this requires invite yet)
Update 2: Looks like it is open to the public for now. (Not for long)

Hey Google+ folks!
As I bet you've noticed, we are facing pretty incredible demand for Google+ invites.
As Engineering Director of Google+, I wanted to take a moment to explain why we're growing the system slowly. First, we want to make sure our infrastructure scales so the service remains fast and reliable. Second, we want to ensure that bugs are fixed while there are still a relatively few people in the field trial.
Things are going well with the systems right now so we feel comfortable enough to open up invites for a brief period. Our goal is to double the user base in the field trial. (Sorry, we're not giving details about how many folks are in the field trial yet).
So, in a few minutes, we'll open up invites again.
We continue to throttle invites, so please don't mass invite folks as it won't work. If you invite a handful of your most important friends and family you're much more likely to get these folks into our system.
Thanks again for providing so much wonderful feedback!"

What's the sense. There is Facebook and Twitter.

Ok looks like more people are slowly getting invites. For those who've pm-ed me, be patient, I've invited all of you, it will come in time
Edit: Refer to first post

Ultimate Note 5 Hybrid ROM Google Hangouts

For those of you who are interested in following me and keeping up with the progress of my rom projects here on XDA, I am on Google Hangouts. I have a general hangouts and my development only group on hangouts. However, due to the recent actions of select few individuals who purposely like to play child games by coming to my hangouts with the sole purpose of peeping through the window with no intentions of participating in friendly discussions and just to gather intel and go gossip in other hangouts by a so called "competitor", I am not currently adding new members to any of my hangouts. Until the childish games stop and things settle down, all of the sincere people who legitimately want to participate in my google Hangouts will have to wait until further notice.
For reasons that most of you are unaware of, some people think they need to "pick sides" and start trouble. I will not put up with this immature bunch of people who's sole intention is to stir up trouble. As you all know i am here with the sole purpose of helping people with their smartphones and providing a quality rom for your phones. There are unfortunately a small handfull of members here at XDA who have been running amuck and uploading stolen work from other honest developers. this is a fact and it is a problem. I have no control over these things but i can assure you that XDA and it's moderators will be doing the best that they can to address this issue the best way they can for the overall best interest of XDA. Honest, integrity and respect is something that i take seriously and i hope to see XDA maintain these qualities in their recognized developers and possibly implement new and improved rules and guidelines for developers in the near future. I will do what i can to give my input to the moderaters and hopefully they can come up with a solution to this problem once and for all. Untill then please follow my rom threads and participate in helping others if you can and just make youselves at home. Above all please have fun, enjoy your phones and be respectful to others in my threads. Thanks for reading!
Edit: My Google Hangouts invitation is now open. Please remember to PM me your gmail address so I can add you. And please also remember what i expect from everybody. No drama and no games. We have none of that now and it will stay that way. Feel free to talk about anything that you want just don't come to stir up trouble. that's all i ask. Thanks everybody.

Many thanks ror a great rom

Same here keep me in mind for new groups/testing. I would never steal work or cause trouble. All I want is to help make our note 4 the best it can be.

Keep me in mind as well! I would love to help out with anything I can. No sides, no trouble, no immaturity.

Add me to this list too TX, love your work and wanna be a part of the group.

In for it

Hey guys, I figured those of us wanting to be a part of the new Hangouts crew could at least begin by having some development conversation here. My vote is that we use this thread for some not - so - repetitive questions and maybe TX will shoot some beta type issues for us to work on until all of the drama fades away.
We will just keep the conversation to development only and the TX will have a place to draw some new comers from for his hangouts when he is ready.
