Who all currently has a google wave account? I am working on a project using Wave on the G1 and wanted to know how many people are using it. Don't want to release too many details about the project yet but if you use wave post here. Will be releasing more details here in the next few days when I am finished finalizing it.
Im using it.
I have an account.
Just curious what is your current main use of it? I will be putting in Speech to Text to make it easier to use from the phone.
yep
I have an account as well. Not many of my friends use it much right now, but those that do I just use it for written communication mostly.
Same here, currently only a limited number of my friends use it. Those that do use it are the ones that work on android projects with me. We have been using it to discuss ideas for our apps so that we have a well written record of what we want.
I'm on it.
Just got my invite yesterday.
*Raises hand*
I have an account
I am using it and know 3 other Android users that are as well.
I'm using it too.... Wait don't have an account yet. Bet rest assured once I get my invite I'll be all over it as well.
i have an account and logged in once...
i dont understand how it works :S
I still need an invite if anyone has one to spare!
any chance someone with their hand raised would throw an invite my way?
email = http://scr.im/1wwu
Thanks in advanced if anyone does.
I have a couple invites left and will give them out to select people. PM Me if you need an invite.
i got one too
A big thank you to whomever sent me the invite! Im online and rocking now and looking forward to see how I can use this to help with all my themes and mods!
I have Google Wave but has no friends to use it with...
Anyone who wants to follow my themes is more than welcome to add me as a contact with brandenk[at]gmail[dot]com
Does anyone mind giving me an invite? i've been looking for one for awhile now
As Swype is only available as a closed beta or as release within an OEM build, it should not be posted, or linked on XDA.
I'm the beta community relations rep for Swype (Brian Resnik, if you're over on the Swype forums).
First of all, yes we're watching you HAHA. I'm obligated to wag my finger at you all for distributing our software without a license. A little patience will go a long way. Trust me, the more the brass hears about people illegally copying Swype and feeling entitled to a free version (yes, we know there's no copy on the market for you to buy, but you have to respect that OEM distribution is our chosen business model), the less they want to support a beta program at all. The better we play nice with eachother, the sooner more people get into the beta!

But you know... I will buy Swype first day it will be released - thanks to these leaks
Swype has updated their page with the new beta instructions. It appears at this point to be a limited public beta, as it will only be available for a couple of days, and requires you to enter your email address to get the download.
So threads with download links will still not be allowed.

You do realize that the whole point of this thread is to say not to post the APK, right?
When they take off the stupid download limit for the Beta for registered testers, I'll actually support not posting links.

Yeah, I understand. I just wanted to know whether I should not download it too many times, but backup&install it instead.
Gents,
I think Ive abused my swype membership --- ive installed it maybe at least 30 times on two phones since March. I've lost the "swype" function and it is basically a nice blue HTC_IME standin. No complaints, but wheres the swype at on Swype?
Droid X comes with it stock. Beautiful app. I might have known someone (a friend of course) who hooked his friends up with Swype on their HTC Eris's. He told me that he went and Googled it and found it pretty quick.

I understand that you have chosen a particular business model. I think however that it is unfair that it is not sold via the Android Market. What about phones like the Nexus One which now is an official developers phone? The Nexus One did not come with Swype and I would like to have the option to use it. (And yes, I did sign up at swypeinc's website waiting for the beta to reopen) Unless you give people the chance to purchase your product people will find ways around your chosen business model. I haven't myself downloaded the apk and I agree xdadevelopers should heed your warning.
I'm not really sure what the hang up is for the swype "brass." This program is being released on select phones already, right? Plus I've never heard complaints about it and would love to try it too. I'd gladly pay for something like this (after a trial) so I'm not really sure what the deal is.
Most of us love new software to play with and improve our phones with. However, a big turn-off for us can also be controlling companies like this. If they don't start providing us a valid route to buy or at least use this product, then they're going to lose in the end. The community is large enough we can throw together our own program to do this crap. Hell, shapewriter keyboard already does this and is free to boot and since I can't even use swype, it might as well not exist in the realm of gesture-based keyboards as far as I'm personally concerned.
I must concur with the rest of the community when I say that choosing not to retail a highly requested, fully functional app shows that the Swype folks are off their rockers. However, if they don't want us to obtain their app and lose customers as a result, that is their prerogative. I'm sure most of us will just find the APKs elsewhere online.
I am trying to get Touchdown pro to sync with my work exchange server but I keep getting caught in a endless loop of sync. When I view the logs I keep seeing "Exception: cannot get IMEI number". Has anyone else had this problem with Touchdown Pro on their g tablet? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me on this one.
This exact same thing is happening to me, wow. Just Googled it and you showed up.
Looking for a fix... the app looks like it'd be so sick for the G-Tab...
So since this is a WIFI only tablet with no radio it seems to me the device simply cannot have an IMEI.
So maybe we could spoof it somehow? I'm looking for an app.
It seems really weird to me that Touchdown needs an IMEI to sync. Especially when the native Exchange support for Android works fine on this tablet. Ugh.
Yeah I am lost on this one. Touchdown Pro says it will work on ALL android tablets so I have to think there is a work around here.
Well especially since they went out of their way to make a "tablet mode"... grrr. So frustrated, I really want it to work.
Either app-side or spoofing IMEI.
I emailed support, but I suspect it wont get fixed till the next release. I would be interested in a work around. I do have the stock email working fine but touchdown wont work.
I need my subfolders....
Plus it looks great in tablet mode.
Do we even know for sure if the g tablet has an IMEI number? If so, where do we find out what it is?
Afaik a device has no use for an IMEI without a cellular radio.
Then the question becomes, is there a way to turn off or disable the part of Touchdown Pro that looks for the IMEI? A few people have said that they have been able to get Touchdown Pro working but yet no one is saying how they have been able to do so.
And clearly this is a hurdle they would have had to get past... grr. Stupid devs for implementing this "feature."
I have been chatting with tech support, they want a log file after the connect fails but I am unsure where to find that in Touchdown. Any ideas where to look?

Hi Richard,
I was able to look into this today for you and found that the Wifi only devices do not connect for the very reason you suggested, there is no IMEI number. Our developer will be in sometime in the next week or so. We will be conferring with him about this but in the meantime, you are correct. There is no way for us to connect on a Wifi only tablet at this time. Would you mind checking in with us now and then to check the progress?
Regards,
Kerri
I love it.... their developer "will be in within the next week or so". So I am guessing it will be at least a month until we have a fix for this from Touchdown Pro. I guess we are back to option #2 figure out a way to spoof or bypass the line of code that looks for the IMEI number. By chance would anyone have any suggestions on how to do this?
As a side note, I guess it is safe to assume that all of the folks claiming to have Touchdown Pro working on their G Tablet are just full of shi.....

Or have run something that pushed a 'fake IMEI' to one of their sqlite DBs... so would be nice if we could figure out which and format of a valid IMEI...
EDIT: turns out the IMSI is in DB... the IMEI is read via RIL from Hardware... thus not something that can be changed in a typical way...
They asked me to email them in the beginning of the week for an update. I think they are concerned about it not working. Wifi only tablets are not going away & its in their best interest to make it work.
Well, it looks like we should start looking at another solution. I guess if we dont have a 3G tablet, it wont work.
Hi Richard,
I talked to the developer and this issue is not on our roadmap in the near future. They may be looking into it sometime in the next quarter, but at this point, it is not something they are actively working on. I’m very sorry.

We were planning on purchasing 100+ licenses for our sales group's wifi-only tablets. I'll be sure to let them know they lost a large order...
I just emailed the following to NitroDesk support:
**********
Dear Support,
It is my understanding that your product does not support WiFi-only Android tablets. I am a member of XDA Developers, a large community of mobile device developers. I read a recent posting on the XDA forum where a member of your support team stated that adding support for WiFi-only tablets is “not on the roadmap” and will not be supported in the near future.
This is a huge mistake on your part.
As the Vice President and Information Technology Manager of a large community Bank, I am responsible for the procurement and implementation of all technology. We recently deployed over 100 WiFi-only Android tablets to our Board of Directors, sales force, and lending group. I have always been a fan of TouchDown, but your apparent disregard of an obvious flaw in your software has left me with no choice but to abandon your product. I was planning on purchasing 100+ licenses of TouchDown for our tablets, but since your product is completely broken I will instead purchase 100+ copies of DataViz’s RoadSync application. RoadSync not only works on WiFi-only tablets, but is also half the price of TouchDown.
I wish your company the best of luck as you lose yet another large customer of your product due to your misguided management and development teams.
**********
I got a fast response back from NitroDesk support. Richard, maybe you can contact Goutham and let him know who gave you the inaccurate information???
**********
That is not true anymore, things have changed perhaps since that posting, our latest beta is now designed to work even without an IMEI number (lack of which was basically the issue with Wifi only devices).
While it may take a while for us to push that to the market, it is definitely something we are not walking away from.
the beta is available here : http://groups.google.com/group/nitrodesk/web/installing-the-latest-beta
While I am not sure I may not be able to get you to try touchdown over RoadSync, i do appreciate you making the effort of checking back with us.
We are working on a lot of new exciting MDM/security/policy related work at this time, that the ETA for this hitting the market itself may be a couple months.
Thanks and regards

Hi,
I'm the developer for BBC News Mobile the free app on the marketplace at the moment. see http://grippers.co.uk
I've been working on push notifications for breaking news and have put together the various servers and system and its nearly ready to go live to the marketplace. However, I'd really like to test it out on a smaller scale first.
Please get in touch if you would be willing to test out the app first.
//Now Closed got enough offers to run with. Thanks to all those who got in touch
//Either reply here or email info[at]grippers.co.uk
Thanks in advance,
Update 30.01
Had really great feedback from the testers I currently have on board and have a boat load of emails for others willing to test. So thanks to everyone who got in touch should get back to you with a new build soon.
Lawrence
Hi mate, i would test this out for you.
I have a htc trophy n the UK.
Excellent!
Drop me an email and will sort out a xap file to send over to you.
Anyone else interested?
Count me in man - be good to get some decent news here in germany
See PM for my e-mail address.
count me in
Excellent, Thanks all for replies have send pms to everyone.
Any more interested?
Hi already use your app so would love to try the new version
Also use your current one, would be up for the beta as well.
Cheers
I'd love to beta-test as well. HTC HD7 in the US
i would like to test either from Portugal... thks
I would like to test belgium
Unlocked device?
Hi
I currently use BBC News Mobile on my HTC 7 Mozart. I've even got it pinned to the start screen.
My device is not developer unlocked so I am not sure I can load the beta version onto it, but if there is a way, please let me know and I am happy to beta test it.
The two features I would like to see are live tile updates, i.e. with the number of new stories. Also, toast notifications for breaking news alerts would be good. I get the BBC News Breaking News alert emails but there are no toast notifications for emails, yet!
Cheers

Thanks for all the offers. Moving all the stuff over to Azure from my dev environment is taking a bit longer than I thought but will be getting in touch soon.
Hey man, I'd happily beta test too.
Dev unlocked Omnia7 in UK.
count me in - dev unlocked hd7 from austria
i'm in too
Developer unlocked in Holland
I'll test it as well. Developer unlocked USA. Just a side-note be careful when you publish your app you need to go strong the 7appslab guy post's under a few screen names on competing apps he did it to my CNN app. Let us know here when it is done and we can give you an honest review before he swoops in and trys to knock you down.
Amazing thank you all for the offers to help!
Just a quick note to be able to run the beta build you will need to have an unlocked phone and use toms xap installer.
I should have got in touch with all, if I haven't please get in touch.
The build is just about ready to go. I'm just waiting on the Azure instance to finish deploying and then it's all ready to go. So hopefully will be sending out the build some time tomorrow to the people I have heard from.
If you still need someone, I'd be interested.
I have numerous unlocked phones (HD7, Quantum, Focus, Mozart...)
Once again thanks for all the offers.
I've currently running a very limited beta with 2 people (big thanks to calum and and Neil) if that all goes well I will get in touch with more people to expand.
Fingers crossed it goes well!

UPDATE (14th June 2011):
We are now over the 10,000 mark.
I have now spoken with Motorola and gotten confirmation that Motorola plan to unlock every device that will get an update in the second half of this year. This will include maintenance & firmware updates, but is still subject to Carrier approval.
The promising sign is that Verizon has already allowed Motorola to unlock a device on their network, the Xoom, which utilizes the unlockable/re-lockable model that Motorola intends on using across their devices.
I'm still looking to work with Motorola in the coming months to help see if we can make this a smooth process for Motorola and the community.
You can read the article here:
http://ausdroid.net/2011/06/14/an-u...witter&utm_campaign=Feed:+ausdroid+(Ausdroid)
Please share this where you can and keep it alive. I will continue to work with Motorola to see if we can get this thing torn wide open.
UPDATE (26th April 2011):
We are now at ~8,700 mark.
Motorola has now responded to me, stating that they are looking at unlocking bootloaders across their devices late 2011.
The article for the story can be found here:
http://ausdroid.net/2011/04/26/the-little-aussie-taking-on-motorola-u-s/#more-8184
We're still seeking clarity around whether this will be for current devices or only future devices.
I couldn't have gotten this far without the support of everyone here. You guys and girls have been a huge support and help me turn this snowball into a wrecking ball.
Please share this where you can and keep it alive. I will continue to work with Motorola to see if we can get this thing torn wide open.
Previous Update (4th April 2011):
We are now at ~7600 mark.
We're starting to slow down from our initial boom, so I have now set up a Facebook page to see if we can wrangle in some supporters that don't use Twitter or XDA.
I will need your help getting this out there. So share the facebook page where you can.
I'm also looking to see if anyone is interested in helping me Moderate the page. Please PM if you are.
Original Post:
Hi All,
I have created a Groubal (online petition) to get a response from Motorola on it's bootloader policy.
>>This petition started for the Atrix, but I made sure that it was for Motorola's overall Bootloader Policy. I have reached 200 signatures in 2 weeks, but now believe it's time to expand this out of the Atrix space and into the larger Motorola Dev community.
Ok guys, we now have nearly 800 signatures, nearly 500 in one night alone.
Keep up the great work everyone, this wouldn't be going anywhere without your support.

It would be even better if we could get XDA to post it as an announcement across all the forums, but unfortunately I don't know any of the administrators well enough to do it.
If you want to champion that for us, that would be greatly appreciate. I'm starting to find myself spread to thin on this one.
Groubal has been attacked again!
Hello Irwin,
Yes indeed...Groubal was hacked once again. We have our technical team and our hosting enterprise working feverishly on this to remedy the problem.
Clearly your petition and all your supporters have touched off serious nerves; and your message has created amazing awareness around the world now.
We will fix the problem and move forward. Please take the time to let everyone know on all the forums what has happened to Groubal.
Thanks in advance,

Just sent this tip to Engadget.com
Please shed some light on the petition by the Android user community requesting that Motorola to unlock the bootloaders on their Droid phones. Smartphones are not just phones that can browse the web, they are mobile computing devices that can make phone calls.
We pay a large sum of money to own these mobile computing devices but we are not able to modify the operating system like any other personal computer that each of us own.
