Google voice invite please

Does anyone have an extra invite somewhere for google voice? if so can you guys drop one at [email protected] ---yahoo.com
Thank you.

you know if you own a nexus one you automatically get a voice invite for free right? whatever account you set the phone up with, go to that account on a computer and log in to Google voice and create your phone number.

that and there is a thread full of members willing to pass out invites to other members

I have a Nexus One but when I go to http://www.google.com/voice and sign in with the account that the Nexus One was registered with, it just says "Google Voice: Coming soon". Am I missing something?

did you try clearing GV data and re signing in? or a wipe?
I never had a problem like this, so I'm just guessing

You are based in the USA aren't you? If not Google Voice is not available anywhere else last I checked.

what country are you in? Voice doesn't work for me but thats because its a US only thing right now.

Thanks man did not know that, it is coming today. I finally pulled the trigger.

Just reinstalled a new rom, so I don't think that should be a problem. Didn't work before either.

[Q] Google Drive = waiting list

Downloaded Google Drive from market and installed. Got a message - we will email you when available. Has anyone else had something similar. Not sure how long the wait will be.

Got the same message, but received the email in like five minutes.
Tap'd out on my Gnex

Apparently it's standard to have to wait for them to set it up for you. Got this and Ubuntu One within the last few hours. Ubuntu One is already set up, still waiting on Google. 10 gb of storage not on my phone is good though.

nobody knows how long the wait will be, unfortunately we dont work at google.
calm down. youre not the only one in the world that got this message.

Mine worked instantly, but I was already using Google Docs which Google Drive now replaced. I only got 5gb of free storage how did you get 10gb gunz.jones

Been waiting since 6AM GMT.
Nada nowt nothing.

I heard Google Drive, found it in market, it's an update of google docs which I was using all the time. And after update, I ran it, and got a msg says not available or something, and turned me back to google docs. GREAT!

Just under 24 hours for me. Signed up in the evening last night and just got my email now (4pm eastern).

I should be getting 80Gig because I am grandfathered into my paid storage. If I ever decide to change my storage plan I will get screwed. Right now I am paying $20/yr for 80 Gig.
Here is the info....
"How to keep your old plan
Google storage plans have changed, but you can stay on your current plan as long as you:
Keep your account active
Keep payment information in Google Wallet accurate and up-to-date
Don’t cancel or upgrade your current plan
If your account lapses, your credit card is declined, or you choose to change your storage plan in any way (upgrade or downgrade), you’ll be switched to the new Google storage plan."

I updated to Drive yesterday and got my set up confirmation about an hour ago. I'm sure, of those of you waiting, you don't have long to wait.

Didn't relize I appeared freaked out! I was interested as to how many people had the same message which would give me a better indication on their rollout. Anyways as an update received an email 2 hours ago and I am now on Google drive.

I suggest you guys read Goggles terms & conditions before using Drive. I did, and I'm not touching it with a bargepole.

They're talking about specifically when you "submit content"... just like their example of submitting your business for Google Maps. This is different than your stored files. It's not like they are going to access your storage drive, and steal secret patents or anything like that.
You've also linked to the general Google terms, not specifically Google Drive's. That's why the wording is more vague and generic. They are referring to "some" of their services, like Maps, Google+, etc.... Facebook and many other sites that allow you to upload and submit content to public areas have nearly identical terms of service.
Some news sites and bloggers are omitting all of these details though, because then the story isn't as sexy.
Edit: Spelling

That's exactly right. There's just a ton of hyperbole around their TOS but it's not much different than the others with the bottom line being, you own the content you create - they might use/exploit the content you submit to a service of theirs.
EDIT***
sorry... you grant them permission to use/exploit content you submit to a service of theirs.

[Q] Google Play Books/Magazines/Music Outside the US

anyone bring a nexus 7 outside the US yet? i have read that books/magazines/music dont work. but with the nexus 7 being wifi only... i have a few questions:
1. do these features disappear like they do on phones? i have a galaxy nexus. non-us apps disappear from the app launcher if you dont have a US sim card. can you at least access the free bundled content when it detects that you dont have a US ip?
2. can you connect to a wireless VPN service and access those blocked services? can you buy stuff with a non-US credit card? i was able to buy blocked content before with my non-US credit card... but through the play web version and a VPN service... i cant seem to buy books anymore. not sure if this is the same with the nexus 7
3. are there any non-root apps that allows the nexus 7 to get a US ip address just by connecting to any wifi hotspot?
im sure there are a lot more questions from non-US pre-orderers of the nexus 7. hope this thread helps us.

Wrong section, this belongs in the Questions section.
I'm wondering this too, except I am willing to root for for these features.

Yep, Questions go in the Q&A section

Yes , through vpn you can access the play store movies and magazine portion and they should also play fine. I used to do that on many of my previous android devices.

Can anyone confirm this yet? Otherwise I need to invest time in setting up a VPN in the US

Play books works fine on my TP in the UK via wifi so I it should work on the N7, I can't see Google crippling their own hardware in that way.

You should see blocked content via VPN, problem is you can't buy anything even the free ones if you don't put in a 'valid' authorized payment option.
Tried it and that's what I found out.

In that case I'm very hopefull, with my own google account I managed to pay with my own creditcard with billing address in USA. My bank accepted it so there will be no issue for me.

so did you get it to work or do you think you can get it to work? sorry. im a bit confused.
getting my nexus 7 in a couple of days still so i cant really try it myself yet.

It works for magazines and music, but it doesn't seem to work for movies/tv shows. I can buy, for example a tv show, but can't download it even when I'm connected through VPN. FYI; using VyperVPN from giganews. Hope this helps

[Q] Two devices on one Google account - 2x25$ or 1x50$?

I have ordered two N7 and ticked to connect them with my Google user. The question is if I'll get 2x25$ for my Google account afert loging in at one device, or i have to do it on both. In the future i'm going to use two N7 for two different users.

I don't think so, these kinds of things are usually a once-per-user type deal.

I would suggest using another gmail account just in case so you don't lose the credit.

I did the same thing. Im hoping i get a $50 credit.

I hope all we're going to do is login on both devices for our Google account and the'll charge our wallet with 2x25$ which we will spend on one N7.

Questions go in the Q&A section

I really want to know the answer for this. Have two coming from Gamestop and don't want to lose the credit on one by doing the wrong thing.

Why don' t you call google and find out?

I'm going to order 10 of these, apply all the GCs to my account and then sell 9 of the tablets. "Free" tablet ftw!

Because I live in Poland and they're not selling N7 in here and phone call to US and waiting 45min on hold would cost me more than 25$.

Google per device registration for apps and play store
Ok
Sorry upfront i cant remember or find where i read this. Thou i know it was a credible source for the most part . I have read that goggle Jelly bean has a feature built into it . To attach a unique identifier from that device(guessing esn) to the market and apps purchased on that device and make them not available on other devices unless you re purchase them for each device you have. If this holds any truth. I would think the 25.00 credit would also be linked to such a standard. If in fact true you would have 25.00 for each tab. not a total of 50.00. But both tablets can link to the same google wallet account. As i use google wallet for may things other then APP Store. Same with my Pay Pal Debit card.I just find it safer.
Sorry if this is a bit off topic but its interesting to really know if this holds any Truth. I have some not so cheap apps. I would SCREAM If they told me i had to re purchase them. because i buy a new device every year lately.

I highly doubt that that is true as it would make no sense to force users to buy the same app multiple times. Are you perhaps referring to the encryption of paid apps? That's to prevent piracy and cracking rather than the above stated purpose.

I activated my I/O & got the credit but when I activated the one from Gamestop, I didn't get the credit.

It would be prone to too much abuse, eh? Having multiple credits on one account. Theoretically, if you bought a tablet, activated it, returned it citing display problems, and repeat 7 more times, you'd have enough credits to receive a free Nexus 7 from the Play Store, no?
Unless I'm horrible mistaken, that's how I understand it.

The credits can only be used for digital content (except subscriptions)
But I'm assuming the rest of your post is probably correct.

Youtube purchases?

logged into youtube for the first time since using my Nexus 4, and it shows that i have 3 new purchases today. I have not made these purchases and can not find any charges on my credit card (that i use for online stuff) or my Wallet account. anyone else see this?
I know this is a stab in the dark, but worth a shot.

well, i found them, loks like my phone automatically snagged them in an update somewhere...
odd but free.
found in the play store order info screen along with some books and music...

Looks like they're doing what they did with the N7 I guess. N7 owners got transformers and some other junk like that for free.

I don't like the idea that the phone can do things like that without my permission. I mean if it can make purcases (that are free) what's to keep the same thing from happening for items that are not free?

Dude, they're just gifts from Google. Items that are automatically added to your account when you register a new Nexus device. The device didn't make any "purchases"--it didn't go out into the store and press buttons behind your back--these are just things that Google gifted into your account, and that's just how these gifts show up in your account, as so-called free "purchases" (they gotta show up somehow, right?).

It won't be able to make purchases without your permission if you tighten your tin foil hat.

How did you access your purchases on your nexus 4 in the youtube app ?

The way I did it was on the computer access the purchases then move those purchases to Favorites, then in the app, click on your profile then it should be there but only thing is that it says unsupported playback or something. What can I do to watch them on my phone?
