Cool New App
You probably heard the big news, but Qik was acquired by Skype earlier this year. And we’ve been working hard to release our latest rev, adding some great new features. Now you should be able to enjoy live video chat with everyone you know while you’re on the go—even your friends who use iPhones. Yep. That’s right. The new & improved version of Qik Video by Sprint* enables Sprint EVO users to video chat live with anyone who uses an iPhone or Android over 3G, 4G* and WiFi. Plus, you can still instantly record and share videos with your Facebook friends, Twitter followers, on YouTube and more.
*If you have anything other than Qik Video by Sprint, including multiple apps, delete it/them.
**iOS devices do not currently utilize a 4G network.
Save Video & Update Now!
Qik! Follow these steps so you can see what (and who) you're missing!
Save your videos!
Check to see what version of Qik you've got.
IMPORTANT: If you have Qik Video Connect-or anything other than Qik Video by Sprint, even multiple apps-hit DELETE! (It's the ONLY way you'll be able to enjoy all Qik Video by Sprint has to offer!)
Download Qik Video by Sprint!
Check and update your HTV EVO software, too.
Brand New Policies
And because we’re now Skype, we have some new policies in place and our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy have both changed. Effective immediately, the Skype Terms of Use will govern your use of Qik’s software, products and websites and your personal information will be processed in accordance with the Skype Privacy Policy. No action is necessary if you agree with these changes. But if you don’t, you’ll want to review your termination rights in Section 11 of our Terms of Use.
Thank you! We appreciate your support. Keep Qik'king!

I'm going to start a micro-blogging site to compete with twitter and call it kweef (yes you read correctly). People will see you on your phone and ask what are you doing; you'll simply say "I'm kweefing". I will have the whole world kweefing soon *evil laugh*. It will support 200 char instead of 160

Yeah that's weird but that app is actually useful though.
Got the same email, but my work area has little 3G coverage and usually roaming. Tried videochat when it first came out and kept dropping off calls. If the coverage was better in my area I'd prolly use this more often.

I agree, despite the name I use tikl all the time. One of the most used / longest used apps on my phone. It great that it works on all android and iphones no matter what the network. The developer is constantly improving it also. Not sure why there is not pay/donate/adfree version.

Nevermind. Got an invite from someone on engadget.
What is this thing lol i finally got an invite and have NO IDEA where to start and what to do lol
can somebody break this down for me?
all i know is that you pretty much have to get invited and invite people to truly enjoy this. amirite?
To be as basic as possible, think facebook, only better features and more customization. Not to mention more privacy. But its in beta and just beginning. Get friends on there, get people from here on there, start creating groups (circles) and start posting.

Well, more like think facebook, only fewer features and less customization, not to mention worse privacy and still very buggy.
It is Google, so I absolutely expect it will get significantly better, and I trust Google more than Facebook.

It only uploads them to a private folder.
The biggest thing right now for me is that you can't hide yourself on the service. Facebook has a way to completely hide your profile - on Google+, your name, profile picture, and gender must be there and searchable. A couple of my friends work with potentially violent, crazy people on a daily basis and definitely don't want to be publicly searchable on social networks, making Plus a nonstarter.
Can anyone spare an invite. Despite the many publisher accounts I have with Google I can't get myself an invite. Would sure appreciate it. Thanks guys!!
im now able to invite people so then people that PM me already i sent them out this morning.
Anyone else wants PM me please and ill send it ASAP.

lolol nice. but i wouldn't count twitter and fbook as vcr's. as of right now there much better then google+
the app you cannot do anything. no editing or inviting and its still new. got to invite people just to enjoy it
i got a couple questions regarding Google+ though
do you have to have a gmail Account? and is it just for androids as for downloading it in the market.
Because u can have iphone and still have a gmail account and use it but not on the phone is app store dont have it

From what I understand, google+ requires a gmail account and becomes part of your gmail email, connected to that specific email forever.
As for the google+ app it's only available on android because it's still in testing. Probably in a few months they will release an app for the iPhone when google+ is out of testing (if Apple approves the app)

You can now block unwanted voice calls as well as text messages. You have to go to Sprint's web site and list the numbers you want blocked there.

FYI: there are ways around blocking by phone number to get in touch with another mobile device. Off top my head:
Use Skype
Use Gmail to text or call
Possibly Google Voice?
Instant Messaging (AIM, MSN, Yahoo, GTalk, etc)

on sprints website you need to know the number. You can't block unless you have it. If the app your using blocks unknown callers I would stick with that.

Why does all my threads turn into trash? Do I attract them or is the Epic forum really turned to sh&t?

Wow. I guess someone failed to mention that this site is not /b/ or 4chan or whatever these types frequent these days.
I have an 18 year old and I know that a girl does not need to be a "whore" simply because boys want to talk to her. She doesn't want to talk to them, but that doesn't stop those kids from trying. Still waiting until she chooses one of them so I can set up the ring in the garage and put him through the test.
Edit: I specifically did not quote the offending post because I don't want that kind of childishness and hate on my posts. BrooklynsFinest is not the offender and I echo his comment.

Yep, went through Sprint's crappy site and found it. Bet next to no one uses it because it's buried so deep in there and is presented in such a user-unfriendly way.
Mostly what I do is give out my Google voice # and use it to block. Neat and easy.

It's always been this way, using data from your usage of their apps to provide more relevant ads and search results.
They've just unified their privacy policies into one, that's all it is. Which makes sense really, since they've been using data between products, they SHOULD all fall under one privacy policy.

The google services are the only ones affected. Texts through google voice might skew your analytics, but texting through Sprint wouldn't, I believe. It'd be tied into things like what you look at and +1 through Google+, or seach through Google, etc.

I'm not sure to what extent, if any, Google uses email context as data, but that's an unlikely scenario. Google search and ad analytics work a little more subtly than such a literal association, even more so when dealing with personal exchanges. A more likely Gmail example is being on the mailing list for several punk bands and seeing an ad for Alternative Press...or possibly a local venue. But as i said, i don't know much Gmail data is used, if any Gmail data is used at all.
