Kind of humorous that I have to add this to the post but guys! When asking for an invite, please give your

GMAIL

account! Google+ is still in beta and is predominately a way for those of us who love and use Google products day to day to use one less website to stay connected (here's looking you facebook) but this is all tied into your GMAIL like every other Google product.

I hope everyone had an awesome Fourth of July!!! I had a cook out yesterday and work all day today (Stupid stupid job opening on Independence Day... XD) so thats why I wasn't at the computer.

To everyone who has PM'd me, I'm reading through them now! And sending invites all night long! I will also go through the posts (470 posts???! WOW!) and try and invite all I can! Again, a HUGE shout out to everyone who taken up the Pay it Forward system! You members are what make XDA the true Dev Community!!!

I figure this is a semi decent idea seeing as information on the root status of our phones seems to be buried under mountains of other releases on the web. So why not take matters into our own hands and keep each other posted?

I'm Creating a 3VO Circle!

If you need an invite, than this is what will happen. Post here or PM me or one of the others helping out (their names are listed down below) and we will try to invite you!

We will post or PM back when the invite is “sent” and then its a waiting game! Try and follow these steps to seeing if your invite has registered itself with Google yet!

1) This is the easiest by far, If you get an email, then you’re in! Either download the app and log in, or go online to plus.google.com and login with your Google credentials.

2) If hours are going by and you still have no update, then its time to try and “force it”. XDA member’s taminrob and SAShady have both seen ways in which to do this.

To try and “force” your Google+ account:

A) From your Android phone go to menu>acounts and sync> make everything sync. The phone should prompt you to accept the setting up and syncing of your profile. If it does that, you are in!

B) From your computer go to your gmail account, click on your name up in the black bar. Hit either Profile or account settings. There should be prompts from there.

3) If you get the invite but it says exceeded limitation, keep trying! Try again every 30 minutes or so because it seems that people are still able to get in even when others cant! If its been more than 24 hours since the invite, then PM or post back up and we will hop on it again and resend invites!

For when you DO get in, please add me as soon as possible! And comment on something of mine so that I can add you to the 3VO circle! Adding people is quite simple actually.

To add people from the website:

A) Hover your mouse over the name of the person you want to add

B) In the pop up menu that appears, click the add to circle button

C) In the drop down menu it will show the preset circles, any you have made

and the option to create a new circle. (3VO Circle FTW!!)

To add people from the android app:

A) Press the profile picture of the commenter or the person you want to add.

B) It will take you to their profile. You will see below their name the “circles”

button.

C) Press that and it will show you the circles option so that you can decide where

to add them and the option to create a new circle. Hit done in the top right hand

corner.

There is no rule or anything to this, but it would be much appreciated if anyone who can will help invite people once they get theirs! Pay it forward basically. For those of you who don’t know how to invite, Painkiller006 found these great instructions over at droid-life.com (http://www.droid-life.com/2011/06/30...nds-to-google/).

1. Login to your Google+ account and head to your Circles page.

2. Create a new Circle and name it whatever you want.

3. Afterwards, start adding people by clicking the “Add a new person” button

4. Once you’ve added all of your friends (Gmail only), head back out to your Stream.

5. Post a new item to your Stream and add the Circle you just created

6. Once added, make sure the box is checked underneath it which will email everyone in that Circle

7. Click “Share” and you’ll see the following message. Just press “Okay, got it.”

8. Then click “Share” again and your friends will receive an email to join.

9. Have fun with Google+!

However what I have been doing when inviting is a bit simpler, if more tedious.

1. Login in to Google+

2. Create a generic invite status.

3. Underneath where it says share with people, type the email address (gmail only I believe) or addresses of the people you want to invite.

4. Hit share!

5. PRAY! =P

The invites are there! They are just invisible! O.o

:P just kidding just kidding.. not really...

To everyone helping out! I want to make this more organized! Everytime you add someone who is asking for an invite, post up here like you have been doing in slightly larger than normal BLUE font! That way its easy for us to spot and we don’t all invite the same person! If you think you are running out of invites (can that even happen?? I never heard anything about limited invites..) or that the invite might not go through post up in slightly larger than normal red font that we need to double up and someone else will try to invite as well!

This is mega important! I have been trying to figure out the best way for us all to stay in the same circle, and actually one of the Circle figured it out! I have an active huddle going with the entire circle. No one acutally talks in it, but up at the top of the huddle is everyone thats in it. You literally have the ability to add everyone from my 3VO circle into yours, so that we all stay connected. Just ask me when your in to invite you to the huddle and I'll get you there!

HUGE shout out to TAMINROB, S4PAT, PAINKILLER006, THEPHUNK, BEYOND882001, and to BLUEDIABLITO! You guys are seriously helping out and I appreciate it!!!
