Are you certain invites can be given out by beta testers? Google Music was strictly invited by Google only.

I asked Google for one...

I read somewhere that users could invite. And in another place that invites where closed for now. Engadget got their invite and gave it a great review. Typically they are biased in their reviews ... I was shocked. This could be big.

I'm in, got invited by a Google mate. No invites for users yet, they seem to be taking it easy.
The app is great on android phones. Really slick and comprehensive. Lots of options for controlling the instant upload, and huddles just seem to work.
Sadly, it isn't Honeycomb'd at all, and looks really rather rubbish on my Transformer. And the website is broken and slow in a number of ways in the browser. Bah.

i hope this is not a US only thing again..
i want my INVITE!!!!...

It should be obvious google starts everything in the US, it only makes sense because this is where the company is located.

Not this time, oddly. I'm in the UK and everyone I know on it is in the UK. My Google mate says every employee got invites to give out (10 each apparently) and they're doing it globally.

Again, not in my case. My mate works for Google in Ireland, and not as a dev.

Who do you follow on Google Plus?

I want to give Google+ another go - who do you follow that makes it worth visiting in the absence of any of my friends being on there?

Even though I love the way Google + works, none of my friends are there. Having said that I follow, Google, XDA, Shen Ye, IGN, and some other unknown people which Google thinks that they are interesting

Follow your devs, Android news pages and check the what's hot section. Google+ is full of sane people and there are almost no idiots.

Can someone please explain the difference between the "following" circle and any other circle? Is it meant so I can add people that I don't know?

I just signed up a few nights ago, but i haven't done anything with it yet. I'm not even motivated. I'm not a big fan of social networks. So signing up was as far as I got, but most people I would consider following are already on XDA, and redundancy is something I'm trying to do away with in my life.
So, we'll see.

Becoming a tech journalist

As a child reading Nintendo Power (R.I.P) I always had thoughts of journalism. Now I have more of a interest in tech other than video games. I really want to give this a try. I would love to write about android and other tech maybe even back to video games . My only issue is I don't know where to start or what a lot of people want in written reviews and editorials. So my question is does anyone have any tips to get started. I have my own word press and I'm practicing writing the feed back would be great. I would be thankful for any help and hopefully I can get someone from the site to give me a few pointers

You should use notepad++ or emacs. Microsoft notepad is a pretty terrible tool.

Free Website Design for XDA Members
As the title states, I am going to be making websites for XDA members, as long as any one of the points below apply:
a) Simple, no online payments/logins/etc
b) Really in a short budget and need someone to make their website
c) A non-profit/small business that needs someone to help with their site
d) Have some time on their hands(It will usually take 2 days for a site)
e) Want to get a free website design!​
Q. Why am I doing this?
A: I am a fairly new web developer who has about 4 websites under his belt(Examples Below) and would like to simply help people while gaining some experience. All my four clients are from four different countries, and 1 XDA member is also part of them.
Q.Why should I trust YOU?
A: Because there is nothing to lose from getting a website from me, and you are not forced to do so:good:
Q.Will you make me a 300 page megasite with huge requirements?
A: As much as I want to, I really do not have the time, nor the will to design something >60 pages.
Q. What do you use to make your site?Will you provide me with manual project files?
A: This is a very personal question for me, and I am not comfortable to answer this question. I will though, let you know that most of the project is done with notepad. That is all I can tell you. I can not provide you with the manual project files. Sorry.
Q. Have you ever worked with any XDA members' site?
A: Yes, I have. I have worked with user JONBOY345 and I am sure he has positive feedback from me.
Q. I have more questions.
A: PM Me.
Things that I need to build your site:
1. Your FTP Username
2. Your FTP Password​
Sites I had made:
Site 1
Site 2
Site 3​

Okay - I'll bite.
First off, I was careful in my wording. Html is used for making websites - not websites are made with html
Secondly, Python (if used for web development) is a server-side language, so you'd still need html to get a working site
Question still makes no sense though! :silly:

@Hidden Username Do you make your sites with like Mediator or Expression or something like that?

I can't speak for everyone, but if you are into it and actually want to learn it, it is more fun than "How hard is it?"
I am not studying web developing, but I did my research for a long time(>2 years).
There will be times you wish you never took it, especially when learning some CSS(GODDAMN APOSTROPHE KEY Y U NO BECOME AUTOMATIC SOMETIMES) but all in all, it is very worth it. You don't have to get a job to earn some small $$$, because you can tell people, advertise online, etc.

Hi, I like to keep this secret(My tools) but if you try hard you can easily tell what I used. I'll give you some hints, I use a combo of Adobe: PS, Fireworks, Dreamweaver and sometimes I get scripts and position them accordingly. I will be honest here, NONE of my sites are completely based off notepad, and upon consulting more of my web dev colleagues, I have learned that using notepad/notepad++ is too time consuming and actually decreases productivity.
However, at the end of the day, if the client is happy regardless of what I used to make it, I am also happy.

XDA Pro App - laggy and slow

This app is always really unresponsive, especially in first use. Trying to scroll a page can cause freezes for a few seconds.
Not seeing this with any other function. Stock Google factory build with Franco kernel running stock settings.
I bought the app for simplicity and speed over having to use a browser but the browser is normally faster?
Ideas?

Its junk and I would never pay for it. I prefer XDA desktop in Dolphin browser!

XDA app is really weak. You can try tapatalk, but it's also slow while scrolling, etc. Just poor coded apps from what I've been told. You can try tweaking your system to improve performance in the app, but it won't be perfect.

aosp browser with xda only, no apps needed nor wanted. always fast this way

I've said a million times the only reason I use Tapatalk is because there aren't any alternatives. XDA app is pretty much the same thing.

I cant complain about app, its works, notification works fast, no problems, sometimes kinda slow loading, but never crash

Good to know. Surprising given the skill of many people on this forum, a simple app like this should be perfect..... They have my money so too late for me! Back to the browser.

Tapatalk isn't made by XDA. The XDA app is also just a branded and licensed Tapatalk client. No apps are "perfect" either, regardless whoever created it.

Not sure if it can be considered as a serious alternative but give a try to Forum Fiend. I didn't test recent updates but the user experience was slightly different compared to Tapatalk.

Its just that there are hardly any good alternatives. Most forums apps you can find will be based on the Tapatalk API anyways, too.

Can't come fast enough. I do have a feature request for XDA One. I want it to data mine all the links I press and send me to an XDA redirect that's down half the time, pr2-xda-devolpers.com. Make that happen, and I'm on board. Oh, and I want little XDA branding on all the screenshots I upload.

O frabjous day, calloo callay! This is pleasant news because I don't think it can be overstated how ghastly and absolutely horrid the Tapatalk user experience and design are.

Looking foward to the new app however; it's obvious the current one is lacking and far behind

That is wonderful news. I have one question not related to the actual development of the app, will it replace the free and premium apps or become a new app? (Reason being is I bought both Tapatalk and XDA Pro)

Try Tapatalk, it just got better.
