So, I've been waiting for months and months, and really would love to use the Google Voice thing on my G1. Never used Grand Central.
The Google people seem way too slow and love to tease
Anyone can help? I'd appreciate very much..
TIA...
As of right now, I've not seen an option to invite folks. I got mine a few days ago via signing up on the Google Voice site. It'd been about a month or two since I had last signed up to test it. I've had numerous folks asking me for an invite, but unlike Gmail, I've not seen an invite feature. Guess you just have to be patient until Google picks you.
I'm a GC/GV beta tester, and one of the option's it shows in the control panel is Tell A Friend. I've never used it, and it's not very descript at all. I don't know if this feature will get you an immediate acct or just have you sign up to be notified whenever it does go out beta. I'll be glad to give it a try if want. Shoot me a private message msg here on XDA with your email address. It's worth a shot I guess.
where are you seeing that?
Been a GC/GV bet bunny since GC popped into existence. Never seen that option to "tell a friend". Maybe I don't really have any friends? Or maybe its new? where are you seeing that, under Settings?
I was one of the first to sign up and I got mine a couple weeks ago, it doesn't appear that I have any invites to share but here is the link from Google.

Thanks a lot. I'll send you a PM. Whether it works or not, I do appreciate your help.
I tried to register for invites (2-3 times maybe, since March or so, with different email IDs) and now it's July and I still got none from Google!

Yes I did... At least 2 different @gmail addresses... But 4-5 months is a bit long time and kind of frustrating... Esp. it could be very useful for my line of work (if the features they promise are true) plus would make my G1 phone more of what it should be...
I just got mine after 2 weeks

I'm in VoIP / 3G / satellite business and yes it's kind of a drug I guess. Especially I am addicted to my G1. I'll seek professional help, I swear.
I just got my invite on Thursday, applied back in March with a gmail address. I have been using PF Visual Voicemail and it's been great, but the Google service is clearly better for those us running most of our email/phone/messaging lives via Google. Hope you get your invite soon, it's definitely a winner!
Anyone know if a Google branded app will be released soon? The GV app is good, but I'd love to have another option as well.

I doubt you'll see Android integration anytime soon. What's bad about the GV app by Evan? It's pretty damn near perfect IMO.

Man, you're lucky! I hope that I can get one soon.
A quick update:
So, this morning I finally received the official Google Voice invite from Google.
Now, imagine my absolute joy and relief, that after waiting for it since March (!) I click on the link in that email only to see
"Google Voice is not available in your country.
Thanks for visiting Google Voice. We're not yet open for users outside the US, but are planning to expand our service to additional countries in the future. "

Yes, thanks a lot -- I appreciate that. But as I just said in my latest post I've already finally got the invite, but cannot use it since I am not in the US.
Any tips?

Did a *#checkin#* (just for shyts n giggles) now I get an update notification every 5 mins and it's getting very frustrating how do I stop/disable the notification... I am rooted therefore I can not update via the ota..... PLEASE HELP!!!!
I just go ahead let the phone go through the update. It will fail with those no signature message. Just reboot and it stopped bothering me for the update.
No need to apply, just reboot the phone.
I rebooted my phone and it's still nagging me. is there another way? thanks

I have a suggestion... do the download, before it tries to actually update u shut down the phone, copy the file from the card to your PC, upload it to megaupload and post the link here.

Not true at all...
Edit: Just noticed this is an old thread. Why did you dig up such an old thread?? Just install the OTA...
why? How does that help?

Well if its asking you to update to 2.3.3, then lots of people here are waiting for the files so they can manually update, as Google haven't put them on their developers site to anyones knowledge. Plus people can then get cooking with the files you provide.
So be a dear, upload the files. Please!

You've got to give him some credit... I've never seen some one pretend to get an OTA, that everyone wants, in such a clever way. Normally it's more like this, "YAYY!!!!! I gotz dA OTAs!!!!!!!!!!!!!1111one!!!!11ONE!!!" and then you never hear from them again. If he didn't have over 700 posts I'd almost believe him.
I can give some credit for that
It is better than the guy who posts on twitter, and once revealed that he was making it up, is threatened by many.
serious update is serious!!
oh... =/
I saw now that it was an old thread... if I'd knew I wouldn't answer to it.
OR, he found and posted in this thread because it was relevant to a problem he's having on another Android phone?
Look at his signature, he has a G2.
Quit being so jumpy people.

sooo a guy with over 700 posts here doesn't realize that this isn't the g2 forum, somehow gets a g2 update, when I'm almost positive there are none being released currently (or ever for the g2) on the day that the n1 happens to have announced that is coming out and people are foaming at the mouths to get it?
and I'm supposed to feel bad for him reanimating a year old thread from the dead, with a vague non working solution to a problem he prior didn't have?
I'll stick with my thoughts on the matter, thanks though.

Just learned about this program from engadget.

It sounds really easy and fun to create your own app. I'm trying to think what app I need for myself.

cute. my draw back is the apk's i think of would require something of more complexity. however, i do like the the opportunity to build simple apps.
Perfect!
This is a great gateway to get people into developing.
Snaps for Google.
Will check this out. Thanks for sharing.
Just signed up a couple hrs ago, can't wait to try it out
Sent from my European Vogue using XDA App
I signed up, but it looks like it requires a driver to connect the phone to Windows. Even with the dual mount sd widget the appinventor Windows program wouldn't recognize my Vogue.
Does anybody know how long it takes to receive the download after submitting a request form? I'm very anxious to try this and I filled out the form yesterday
Signed up. Looks amazing, just what a guy with no programming skills needs. Now, how long do we need to wait? That's the main question.
Yeah I signed up two days ago. Hopefully we will receive download links within the next week or so. But this looks perfect for me. I've already done some of this building block programming with vB express. Its easy and fun to mess around with for sure.
Signed up for my Android device. Man, wish they had something like this for WinMo. Better yet, wish they had something like this for PC platforms!!
waiting game
Anyone know how long until we get the invite?
I submitted for an invite a few days ago yet no invite.
I want it NOW! Haha
Mhh, sounds weird, but should work well for standard things
I will stay at .net and objective c
This looks great. Next phone will be Android. I'll keep my HD2 for FpseCE.
ya I signed up, seems like awhile ago, I really want to try this out cant wait hopefully they accept my form thing

After fill out the request form they say couple of weeks, as i know Google it means 2-3 weeks... So next or overnext week it should be there. Depending on how many ppl they want invite and how many have signed on...
So...anybody who has gotten the invite should hook a brother up with the install file...*cough* PM

From reading the site with all the information and such i dont think its something you download, but more of a browser based tool. Not quite sure how that would work... But it did say in the browser. Chrome extension maybe?
And if you watch the video they are doing it from within the browser. So no download. Im assuming that its not open to anyone because the site says to go to the website that we sign up at. So when we start seeing a log in button there, we know were in business.
Searched but did not an answer.
Anyone aware of any work by the devs for unlocking the bootloader on the Note 3, or is this something that won't be available at all for this device?
If yes, then I'll wait for it. If it's not coming anytime soon and I'll just use Safestrap.
Thanks,

It has been talked about a lot. Safestrap is the only available method to do anything for our phone as of this time. I don't see a bootloader unlock coming anytime soon. They still haven't cracked it for the S4 to my knowledge.

So I guess we won't be seeing a bootloader unlock for a while.

I searched "unlocking the bootloader on the Note 3" on Google and clicked the first link. Took under a minute. You could even simply look around this forum and find your answers in many different threads as this question is asked every single day and usually gets worse replies than the one's you've received so far. Developers continually state the request of users to not nag about release dates, progress, etc... Maybe even throw a little common sense in and think to yourself
"Hmm. If I was a developer and I was getting asked the same questions 100+ times a day - cluttering my thread - while I'm putting my hard work into developing FOR FREE on my own personal downtime for the community, wouldn't I get irritated after the millionth time too?"
Or something along those lines. Hundreds will agree, hundreds will disagree, even more won't care.
Conclusion: Search, Research, Search again.
Developers are ALWAYS working their way around these locked down devices and they typically wish to be granted with the patience of others. The more they have to answers those types of questions the longer it'll take for them to develop. You'll know when there's been a breakthrough and you'll know when there's been a release. We're lucky to even have SafeStrap at this point and that's currently all we have.
Information gathered from searching for you. You're welcome.

Really? All that?
You can simply say: "No, there's no boat loader unlock available or anytime soon".
Don't feed the trolls. It does nothing but get u in trouble with the mods. I know from personal experience. Like last week. Not worth it.

What are you, talking? Did you see the video?
I also read that Google is giving the update in steps.
Even if you install the update it will not bring the new look until Google is read to do it. When Google wants, you will see the new look.
I m not trolling at all.

We all know it's coming eventually. Google announced it at the beginning of May, it's not news.
You claimed it started rolling out. It hasn't. The video doesn't support a claim that "it started."

Well the article i read which has the video , said that it started.
I can post it but it is in Greek.
Anyway i suppose its not true based on your last link.
I was excited for a moment this morning when I noticed my phone had received a Android Auto app update. But alas, same UI as before.
