I'm loving my n7 at the moment and don't want to root it like I have with my other androids. I just want to know if anyone has information on when gwallet comes to the UK.
Google first said it will be in Q1 of 2012 which soon changed to in time before the Olympics. Now we're half way though the Olympics and Google hasn't said or done anything.
Its come to look like Google are terrible at release dates, as I had problems with Google giving dates when getting my n7, and now this. They also had big problems with the Q.
I also want to get the tablet home screen in landscape whilst keeping the softkeys as they are, any recommendations ?
I've tried apex but it wastes too much space and nova and stock are just the phone ui landscape.
Once again I'm trying to hold back from rooting.
Thanks.

Google have never given any such dates for the release of Google Wallet; you can't complain about them not meeting deadlines that they did not provide. The only passing comment that Google have made about Google Wallet's European release is that they want to have it in a European city before the end of 2012.
There was unofficial hints about Google Wallet being out for the Olympics but that obviously never happened. Its looking like the Visa NFC app will launch before Google Wallet does.
But as the guy above this post said, Google never officially said anything.
it saddens me to read how its stillnot available...hopefully we will get google wallet here in the uk soon...mean only been waiting for google play music app for uk only been like years plus 3d maps lol
I've managed to get Google music using a proxy, you should, its only to sign up, once you have you can use cloud music as much as you want, you cant buy songs though.

So I sent my invite at 12 exactly. I really want an invitation. Has anyone been successful? It would be great for my transformer and my droid x.
Still waiting. Sent around the same time as you.
I'm in the UK, so no.
We don't even have the Tablet-specific Market, Google Books, nor this new Google Movies. I'm used to it.
i slept on it... sent mine in at 12:10
I sent mine in as well.
I think once you get it you will have invites to give out to others. I had several Google beta invites in the past. Gmail came with 100 invites, Wave had 5 invites, and Voice had 5 invites before they all opened up to the public.
I don't think time is a factor for their invites. I knew other people that never got Google Wave or Google Voice invites despite them sending in their requests before I did. They have a selection process that somewhat monitors what Google products you use. One exception was Google Wave beta testing. It was more like a mini application you had to send in for a request.

Yeah I got my google wave invite off someone from twitter. I hope they do it like that again but I think they, right actually limit since it isn't always going to be free unless they do that to sucker you in

Any invites!
Does anyone have an invite they can send me?
I believe no invites have been given yet. Probably still going over it with developers at I/O. Some articles are only popping up now about it.
also requested an invite ...forgot what time though.
hoping for the best.
did anyone receive one yet?
nothing here yet.
Nada...
Wouldn't be surprised to see invites on Ebay lol. Just a thought. It would be funny to see how much people would bid for an invite to Google Music.

I wouldn't mind being a US citizen right about now...
The UK and Ireland really get shafted with this sort of thing Google Music, Voice, Hulu, Netflix...
From the e-mail I got from Google, I've aparently been invited because I own the Xoom 3g, and am currently paying for 3g service from Verizon.
But whatever the reason, I got the invite.
I still haven't recieved the update for my Xoom yet, and I don't think you can get the Music app in the app store until the update, so i've been forced to try the beta in "Browser" which is a bunk.
As far as desktop goes, it works well, but on the Xoom, it lags a little, and will only play the music if the tab for the player is open. (which really I guess is to be expected, and why there is an app for it.)
Regardless, it is quite simple to use, and in itself, is a very simple layout. There isn't really anthing special, it reminds me of itunes (as far as strictly listening to music, not including the store and all the extra jazz.) They have what they call "Instant Mixes" which is pretty much the genious mix in apple, except it will only create a 25 song playlist.
One nice thing about it, is whatever player you choose it to upload your songs with, it carries over the playlists.
There is a "New and Recent" section beside Album, Song, Genre, and Artist like on the Xoom. Also, a small but nice selection of free songs that you can choose to have imported into your cloud when you sign in the first time.
I really will have to wait till I can test the app to make any final decisions on this.
As far as I'm concerned, cloud based music storage is pretty much useless to me. I can survive with 5-10 gigs stored onto my Xoom that I can listen too without ever needing to connect to the internet. (I don't need to use my 10$ a gig data from verizon for something that should be free) Once we get our SD slot working, this will become especially true. It is cool to be able to have your music anywhere in the world, but not if you think that you have to pay Google for this service, then pay for the data while using the service.
But I will go at it with an open mind for anyone that would find this of interest, because well, I guess it's part my duty since I recieved an invite. If you also recieved an invite please let me know what you think about it.
I got in the beta as well. The biggest thing for me when it comes to cloud music is not worrying about transferring music to my devices or computers anymore. I'm always worried about backing up my music and syncing across all my computers. Now if I reformat any of my devices be it tablet, phone or laptop I can get my music from anywhere and redownload it if needed.

No, only google can invite.
It is weird... i got on the Music page before the keynote and signed up for the Beta with the same email as the one my Xoom is connected to and I still haven't gotten anything.... kinda sucks.... maybe that caused everyone to assume we were just another user instead of Xoom users

See, I don't think you will get an invite just for owning a xoom..... Here is exactly how the e-mail inviting me was phrased (Please note, i did not sign up for an invite, i just got it)
Hello Motorola XOOM user,
We'd like to tell you about some changes to the Music player on your tablet. The latest app update now supports Music Beta, a new service from Google. As a Verizon Motorola XOOM user, you’ve been extended an early invitation to beta test this service.
Music Beta lets you store your personal music collection online and access it instantly without the hassle of wires or syncing.
Enjoy your music anywhere — listen on any web browser, your Motorola XOOM, or any other device running Android 2.2 or higher.
Save your favorite albums, artists, and playlists on your smartphone or tablet so you can keep listening even when you're not connected.
Create your own custom playlists or build them automatically from a single song.
Note also that is says Verizon Motorola XOOM user... I guess this could be explained by any 3g model, but I actually have my data active, so I imagined that's why I received the invite.

Not that I can see. I have yet to receive the 3.1 update, but I received the invite, signed up, and also downloaded the updated Music app from the market. I haven't uploaded any songs yet, but I can stream the two dozen or so tracks they gave me for free. Works well, pretty simple, audio quality is actually pretty decent - on the Xoom speakers, haven't tested on my Sennheiser headphones though.

Oh, so it's just an update to the stock music player I need?
I have active data on my 3G xoom w/ Verizon also, so it's weird they would pull random people, but I guess that may not be weird. I have 3.1 on my xoom after doing the force push update from BRD. I also have the new beta music app on both my tablet and my phone lol. I have not received an invite though...What I do like is the ability to get movies through the Android Market but I don't think that's part of this?
Oh well then
I pay for 3G service on my Xoom as well, and I haven't gotten an invite, or the dam update!
lol
Should be noted my 3g xoom has never had vzw service and I got the xoom invite email.

Well I guess they're doing some kind of random invite...
So i guess a good question is, have any WiFi Xoom owners gotten the email with out requesting an Invite?
At I/O, Google said that Music was a beta program with a limited audience initially: all attendees got an invite. There are two components: the new player, and the backend service. I believe they are independent of one another, such that you can download the Music Beta app in the Market but still not be admitted to the beta of the service.
Apologies if this was all already obvious: I just wanted to clarify for folks in case it wasn't clear as there are a few moving parts.

I believe you are correct. Anyone can download the updated Music app from the Market, but unless you got an invite and signed up, you can't use the whiz-bang features of the Music beta service.
On both my EVO and Xoom, I was able to update the app and signed into it thanks to the invite I received.
Ya I have activated 3g Xoom on Verizon so I am unsure as to WTF is going on lol
I have the 3G Xoom but do not pay for the service, and I've had it since day 1. I'm not rooted, and I have not received the 3.1 update yet.
I requested an invite for Music before the keynote Monday with my main gmail account. I have 2 other accounts tied to my xoom, but I initially signed into my xoom with my main account.
About 30 minutes ago, I got an invite to Music in one of the secondary accounts tied to my Xoom (one I did NOT request an invite with).
Currently uploaded about 500 songs, about 18k to go. This is exciting!
Now I just need my 3.1!

Well however they're doing it, I'm glad I got the invite as it works quite well. I don't know about other cloud services as I have not tried them, but the way all the music stored on the cloud and all that is stored on your XOOM blend together in the same app is sweet.
Unfortunately I am still waiting on my update. I just wanted to add that.
Got two invite e-mails (24 hours apart) so ok. But no 3.1 update.

This has been reported in other threads but no here.
Beginning Tuesday, the Android Market will be known as the Google Play Store. Google's eBookstore and recently launched music service will also be part of the Google Play Store. The same selection of books, music and movies had already been available on Android Market. Sounds nice, but whats behind the shiny chrome?
any way of forcing the update? Tried the old clearing data/cache/fc-ing, reboot ....but to no avail. am I to assume we must wait for it to roll out?
Google says that the update will roll out in the next days

Not sure how many of you have seen this on XDA today, but Google has started limiting you to four device deathorizations per year for Google Music. Normally, not such a big deal, but when you flash a ROM twice a week and have to authorize your phone that often, you will be unable to activate Google music on new ROMs until next year.
Here's the main thread in the Gnex forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=26145534
And here's a petition they started about halfway through the thread: http://www.change.org/petitions/goog...rization-limit
I posted this in the Rezound forums, too. Just trying to get everyone aware of this. I don't want to switch to Amazon MP3.
Just signed the petition.

Can you explain this deauthorization? I flash quite a bit but I don't think I've ever run into that.
As a sidenote, even though I'm still not sure what this limitation is, I wouldn't be too surprised if they'd reset it for you if you ask... kinda like how if you activate a Windows license too many times you have to call them up and say "Yes, it's always been on the same computer" and they'll let you activate. It may just require contacting Google every so often to get a reset (now that Google's Play services actually have customer service)
Each new rom you flash and install/run google music will count as a different DEVICE on your authorized device list.
Aka 10 rom flashes and google music installs = 10 different devices on your account.
They add up rather quickly when you're a flashaholic like me lol

Google temporarily suspends its deactivation practice in search of a better solution:

Hmmmm. I'm sure you flash more than I do but I know I've flashed much more than 10 times and I've never seen that. Perhaps Titanium Backup plays a part?
Either way, it seems the point is moot now according to slimsnoop's new link... Isn't it great when a company listens to the consumer

Sorry about that. Google did remove the limit, though, so not much use in fixing it now.
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.

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.
