Thanks in advance!

The Beta API page updated October 1st, but I didn't see changes in the sender API. It may have been buried in one of the iOS files.
The last obvious changes were in late September.

Of course the CEO just said it was a possibility not that there were plans to do it. We've heard that before.

Well I tried out the hulu+ streaming some movies to the chromecast and for the first few minutes for about 5 seconds eaxh time it kept having to buffer. But after the few minutes it streamed it smoothly and without adds.
Next watched a tv show and again in the beginning it did the buffer thing for a few minutes then got better. Then a stupid commercial would come on, then after it would go back to the show and again start the buffering every 10 seconds or so for a couple minutes, then smooth out. So it was USEABLE but not very enoyable. When I have streamed movies and shows via netflix I haven't gotten the buffering issue. So HOPEFULLY it is the hulu app that needs some fine tuning in future updates. Just wanted to pass the info along.

It is already "officially" out on the market, but it does not support the Thunderbolt yet. That is the reason you can't find it if you do a search.

I'll never understand that either. It should of been one of the first few devices supported. But I guess that hideous Casio phone is more important to them!

Its because when the app detects 4g it realizes it can stream a higher quality and chews through data..
And if you haven't seen.. a lot of us that got ahold of the app unofficially tear through 10+gbs a month ..

Good question. Probably because no one would buy it otherwise.. it was one of the main selling points of the phone.

Because LG has been working with Netflix since 2010 to make this happen. Why? Because that's part of their strategy to help sell their phone.

Its still a 4G device.
im dying to flash to gb just for this app... i can run away and hide at lunch and watch a good show
This whole thing has the smell of an "exclusivity" type of thing to get the LG Revolution off to a good start in terms of sales. Correct me if I am wrong, but the LG is the only 4G phone that has Netflix right now. I assume they did this so it can get a decent jump on sales to compete with the Charge and Thunderbolt... and then when the aura of it wears off, they will make it available for other 4G phones.
If I guessed, I'd say this is why its on lower end phones and older models... but not the Thunderbolt or Charge.
Just notice that the netflix app is in the market place on the thunderbolt and it shows up under supported device...I tried to run it on my stock thunderbolt and I got a drm error...I just hope this means gingerbread is almost here

Google+ App not supported on Nexus S?

The app is working fine for me. I haven't quite figured out which functionality it might be lacking, and it is evolving as Google+ changes. So far so good!

Yeah, and the UI is the best looking UI I've seen in an app. Everything runs really smoothly. Uploading pictures from the phone is effortless. Everything loads really quickly too; better than any Facebook app I've used.

He can't, maybe because they're not complete, but definitely because of the SDK agreement. I don't think Google would have a problem approving his apps, and but I think they're waiting to get more content providers on board first before they start *****ing about DRM and things like that.
i know why he can't release them, the sdk is still beta so Google won't let anyone release yet. I can't wait till he does though. I was wondering more so how he hasn't been offered a job at Google yet lol
hopefully this will be just as easy to do with google drive.

Can we not just share our experiences in one of the many other threads? Most of us have been running it for months anyway!
All I found was Dev Preview threads. Instead of digging through 100s of pages; thought we can discuss the clean build once we start getting it. Would be great to see when it actually starts rolling out and what difference / updates there are compared to the DP.

The question is... will Lollipop be released today? I hope in a few hours we can start with flashing
Do you think tha we get the update today for N5???
I read that the update will arrive for WiFi Nexus 7 and after some week for others devices..
Here is what Android Geeks are saying. Seems to be inline with other updates. Here's hoping we get it sooner than later!

Hi there.
The source in the Android Geeks story is the message Google sent to developers recently saying Android 5 will be released to consumers on Nov 3. What that means in reality is anyone's guess.
I'm in London UK with a Nexus 5 waiting for the OTA update too. Hoping it's today but certainly not holding my breath.
When anyone gets it please post here to keep us updated!

As I read in some news, YES.. because the final OTA ROM for 3g/4g devices need to be certificated.. so more time is required..
But I hope that the ZIP file will be released anyway...

Google doesn't bump kernel versions, the 2012 N7 is still on 3.1 and the Galaxy Nexus stayed on 3.0

Maru OS for Nexus 5

While surfing through the net I found something really interesting for our Nexus 5. It's titled as Maru OS by the original developers. It was the first time I heard about it, so I thought I'll paste it here so that people get to know more about it and if someone has used it, they might share the experience. What this amazing OS does it it turns your desktop to Debian Linux as soon as you connect your phone. That's something really interesting. Wanna know more? Checkout this link here.
If you wanna know about the hardware which the dev supports, try this.
Maru is open source, read it here.
Maru FAQ page for current users is here.
Note - I'm not the original developer. I'm just promoting the devs awesome work. I believe in Maru. Checkout the screenshots to see it yourself.

I been using Debian for the last 3 years on my PC so I'm really looking forward to having it instead of android for carrying round
Also i wonder if the Debian screen could be output via Chromecast/miracast think I will have to email and ask
