I am not sure the invites even matter at all. I mean, does this script actually refresh the unique invite link, or just the current page? On my PC it looks like the latter...I don't see the invite URL coming back up to be refreshed. Furthermore, I can't find anything in the page source that ties it back to the invitiation's "gpinv" value.

In other words, clicking the invite link does not generate the "Keep me Posted" page. It is a simple redirect. The page is generic...meaning it does not matter that you originally accessed the site with your invite link.

What is different than someone with no invitation going to the same web site and refreshing it every 5 seconds? I don't think the invite matters at this stage.

It seems much more likely that this whole thing is based on your Google Account. We can confirm in the page source that the "keep me posted" page IS generated with your account info, unlike the invitation GPINV value.

When the page seems to "open up" it is that your Google ID (or something like your originating IP address) have been whitelisted. And once you are let in, THEN the invite "gpinv" becomes necessary to verify that someone tagged you or shared something with you, so that you may proceed.

That would explain why the site opens up for some of us, and not for others. It is an illusion of sorts. It is not that the site is opening in small windows of time...it is that certain users become activated and then can click through.

To sum up, I don't think it matters if the spreadsheet says "available" because it is only available to the user who was just let in, and anyone else in their specific demographic.
[Off-topic] thrasher9:
Very good point mightysween. I haven't gone through the local storage or cookie variables yet but I just assumed I was sending the gpinv variable every time. I don't doubt there is some kind of whitelist or maybe better yet a black list after I've been running this script for a couple of days now.

I'm glad to hear that people are getting in with this script though. I know last night I walked away from my computer for about 5 minutes and when I came back the screen had a 500 error on it. Maybe I missed my chance.... hehe...

I love this script though. It makes it feel like I'm doing something.
[Off-topic] wascaa:
Ok then, maybe those that got in can comment on their google account?

Was their google profile fully documented?

Did they had a lot of buzz followers?

Just trying to understand...
[Off-topic] thrasher9:
I agree any extra info would be really helpful to us non-google+ users. I would also like to see a screen shot of what the screen looks like after you go through using the script.
[Off-topic] mightysween:
It would be interesting to see (might help pass the time!), but I don't think there is any criteria like that, locale included. We are dealing with a bunch of engineers, after all. Controlling and doling out access for hundreds of millions of accounts based on dozens of widely varying criteria is highly unlikely.

It is much more likely that it is completely random. Someone can sign up for a google account right now, and have an equal chance as anyone.

That's my theory, anyway.
[Off-topic] mightysween:
Can anyone capture the page that the invite link goes to before it redirects? That would be interesting to see. I can't seem to do it.
[Off-topic] nibras_reeza:
The script is supposed to refresh the URL with the hash-tag unique to your invite.

This is how it works. When I share an item, you get an email which has the invite hashtag.

When you click on "comment or view", you are taken to the post. When you click Join Google+, you are taken to another page.

If you don't have a Google Account or you are not signed into it, you'll see a sign in page. If you have a Google Account and you are already signed in, you'll see a page which either says capacity exceeded or allows you to register.

Unfortunately, I was not thoughtful enough to sniff out the code behind the registration page.

Also, I also saw that certain people were able to see the register page while others weren't at the same time.

In my opinion, I won't be surprised that this might be a cache issue on Google's side if not it's locale based. Their CDN must have some kind of caching/replicating mechanism.

I can send new invites to anyone who resubmits their email.
[Off-topic] mightysween:
Click the link, and you will see the red "Join Google+" button briefly before it redirects

https://plus.google.com/u/0/1071174...shNq_dfYD5FEHrGaHoP_YjKMsTkuiRBtuTHmPCs&hl=en

And it is Vic Gundotra's page...haha. Is the type of page we are supposed to get to with an invite?

OK. I am going back to waiting semi-patiently. :)
[Off-topic] thrasher9:
So the spreadsheet was just updated. Does that mean someone just got in?
[Off-topic] thrasher9:
Just because I'm bored....

I think we should add a time started for log output in the script as well as a running counter for how many attempts have been made.

Something extra besides the 'No room in the beta, refreshing' output.

That way a person running the script for a day can see when they hit attempt number #17,280 and have some sense of accomplishment.
[Off-topic] nibras_reeza:
Most probably unless someone purposed faked it. :)
[Off-topic] nibras_reeza:
You can do it. Simple Javascript. It comes with BSD License.

I'm a bit busy theseadays. That's why I'm sending only the invites. I asked Adam to write the script even because I cannot afford a lot of time.
[Off-topic] thrasher9:
I've never written any JS before. Here is the script with the new output.

---

No room in beta, refreshing. Attempt #25

Script start time was: Wed Jul 06 2011 11:43:25 GMT-0800 (Alaskan Daylight Time)

---

I just added the two variables for the counter and the start date and an 'if' statement for the logic if the new variables exist so it can output them otherwise it just does the same logic it was doing before.
[Off-topic] pcp135:
I keep getting the dreaded 404 error. On the main Google+ page, I still see the temporarily exceeded our capacity message.

What I don't get is how is google supposed to be the company that archives all the world's information and store all of everyone's data when it can't handle a few millions users signing up at the same time. It's as if they have not learned anything from their own growth. It's pretty lame for a company to be boastful the way Google is and then be overwhelmed with insane demand.

Your script doesn't appear to work for me...

In console, I see:

Error in event handler for 'undefined': ReferenceError: consol is not defined chrome/EventBindings:183
[Off-topic] thrasher9:
Darn. I wish I was a more experienced JS programmer to help you. Did the original script work for you from the first post? Firefox/greasemonkey or chrome?

The fact that you got the second string output( output without attempt number and date) leads me to believe my new variables aren't being registered to the local storage but I do check for that.

I wonder if it's a date output issue. I could rewrite it so it fails a little better I guess. Better clues to debug with.

Sorry about that.
[Off-topic] talal&nawaf:
one thing i did and i don't know if this has any affect on how i got in is that i created a Google profile before hand. after that i opened my Gmail and clicked on the invitation i got through the email and kept the script running ... i did try the script yesterday for 3 hours during the day but with no luck but when i walk up at 3 am and ran the script again it did work after 30 minutes. i hope this help :-)
[Off-topic] Konstigt:
Waiting a month or so will probably be OK as well :)
[Off-topic] thrasher9:
Here is another attempt at JS programming. I apologize ahead time for doing something stupid if it doesn't work for you. I just changed the output around so if an error occurs I could pinpoint what failed a little better.

Here is my output from the chrome browser console (ctrl-shift-j):

I'm in! After few hours since start run a script, but I have other concept about it. I was playing with different google services like books, shopping, buzz etc. and after that I sign in to google+. I read that other one were making some setup on buzz and was able to sign in too. So... play with other google services with running script!
[Off-topic] hjubm2:
Wow amazingly after close to a week I also just got in thanks to this script. Thanks
[Off-topic] amoughnieh:
I GOT IN :D 15 minutes ago. Something strange happened. I was running both Chrome and Fire Fox side by side, both of them had the script, and I was running Ultrasurf proxy. the last time I checked them was 3 hours ago and they were still refreshing after running for more than 24 hours. Now when I decided to go sleep I checked them, FF was still refreshing, and Chrome had a 404 error or something, I refreshed Chrome, and boom, registration page. With twice the speed of light I proceeded coz I didn't want to lose the chance.

Oh back to the strange thing, why did Chrome get in while FF didn't? both had their cache emptied
[Off-topic] jtwombly:
I just got in to also. Must have been in the same batch as amoughnieh. I had a similar error, refreshed and vwaalaah! I was in!

Big thanks to those of you who made the script and sent the invites. I really appreciate it!

[Off-topic] auricom:
my god all you luckystards are just making me green with envy.

I think I speak for many that this is not about Google+ services anymore, it's an obsession about GETTING IN to Google+!

been running the script since yesterday, tried all the links, tried the Android app, still zilch.

UPDATE:

I'm IN!

now the irony, I had a friend sent me an invitation but I gave him my disposable yahoo email. And I registered for Google Profile with that email. And now that's the email that got in, not my main email which I registered with Nibras. Is there some sort of sync/integrate/change email feature that I can use to move this G+ account to my email?? ugh.

Update 2:

Main Account IN! two goodness within half an hour? Good things come for those who complain! yay!

Two things I learned:

-Use Chrome. I didn't even have the script on chrome and it just worked.

-Locale doesn't matter. I'm in Indonesia connected without proxies.

[Off-topic] nibras_reeza:
Google is just randomly opening and closing invites and registrations.

My advice:

1) Submit your email to my form on https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/viewform?formkey=dE9oR3hYWmR0bEJ5X2ZUUHlpQkxnemc6MQ (or ask someone else to share a post with you)

2) Wait for my(or that of the person who invited) email.

3) Use Adam's script when you are up and awake.

4) Be patient. You'll luckily get in.

For those wanting to use the script but only having IE (work :() you can do the following:

Download the Attached script and unzip to the scripts directory of Trixie.

Reopen IE go to Tools->Trixie Options->Reload Scripts and the script should be good to go.

[Off-topic] peschman:
If the script seems to work it doesnt matter what language u use. I think u just have to be patient, some users run the script for days now and didnt get access. Others are more lucky and it works out in a few hours.

Google+ seems to be nice and for sure has great potential, but it's not very usefull for the time beeing. It's pointless to be a member there when all your friends are not and they dont have the possibility to join now... just saying.

[Off-topic] nibras_reeza:
You'll have to modify the script for the page of your language.
[Off-topic] mirofaro:
could you explain me how?
[Off-topic] nibras_reeza:
It's a bit hard to just explain. There's a div with Field Trial in the Google Capacity overloaded page. This phrase "Field Trial" may differ from language to language. You must see the source code of your Google+ capacity exceeded page and find this phrase and replace it in line 42 of the script.
[Off-topic] mousey_:
To change the script to the language of your choice first go to the screen that says Google+ has exceeded it's limit and make a note of the following text highlighed in red

Then open up the script reloader.user.js in notepad and look for the following line.

if(node != null && node.innerHTML.match(/Field Trial/im)){

Change the text between the two /'s (highlighted in red below) to whatever was on the first page.

Save the script and install it into Chrome/Firefox/IE

Over 48 hours of non-stop refreshing now :(

Is it definitely not a cache issue?

(I have of course tried clearing my browser cache, multiple times.)

EDIT -

Would it be possible to amend the script so that it adds something along the lines of "&xyz=12894209443" (a random number) to the end of the URL to avoid caching?

[Off-topic] mousey_:
You could try adding the following to the code

Orignal:

// if we're on the page that says the beta is full, keep trying that beta link
var node = document.querySelector('div.a-H-Bd-U');
if(node != null && node.innerHTML.match(/Field Trial/im)){
GM_log('No room in the beta, refreshing');
window.setTimeout(function(){
if(localStorage.getItem('specialLink') != null){
window.location.href = localStorage.getItem('specialLink' + );
}
}, 5000);
}

Code To Add:

var d = new Date();
window.location.href = localStorage.getItem('specialLink') + '&c=' + d.getTime();

Ends up like this:

// if we're on the page that says the beta is full, keep trying that beta link
var node = document.querySelector('div.a-H-Bd-U');
if(node != null && node.innerHTML.match(/Field Trial/im)){
window.setTimeout(function(){
if(localStorage.getItem('specialLink') != null){
var d = new Date();
window.location.href = localStorage.getItem('specialLink') + '&c=' + d.getTime();
}
}, 5000);
}

I'm not 100% sure it will work but I'm sure others will correct me if I'm wrong

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Psionicsin:
Hey guys. I'm trying VERY hard to understand this, but I can't make sense of it at all.

I'm coming to this phone from the MT4G and besides this one having a dual-core cpu and being made by LG...it's not TOO much different from that phone in terms of specs. However I am having horrible battery life. Like I've actually sat and watched the battery drain by 10% after only being on for 2min. And this was from a complete charge w/ phone being off.

So now I'm wondering if I've maybe done something wrong when I rooted my phone because no one else seems to be experiencing this at all.

I followed all of the steps located here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1054492

Following the set of directions for the installation of "CWM 4.0.0.2".

I'm also using the EaglesBlood v1.3 ROM located here (No other mods):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1124522

Now I've made this post because last night, before I went to sleep, my phone was fully charged and so I took it off of the charger. At 2a.m. it was at 100%. At 8:30a.m. (6.5hrs later) I got woken up from my house phone. My phone was right by my head on my pillow and furiously hot. I attempted to turn it on, but it refused. I thought the phone burned out while I was sleeping, but when I plugged it into the charger...guess what showed the LG logo?

So how, in 6.5hrs, could this phone go from 100% to being dead WITHOUT use? Did I do something wrong with my root process? Was I supposed to do something else?

I've never experienced this kind of behavior from a phone ever. And I doubt that I need to be living on a charger with it either.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Texan28:
I rooted my phone recently...used NVflash and stuff...but I HAVENT loaded cm7 or anything on it...i have, however, loaded some launchers and customized my phone alot...so with all the launchers and custom screens running my phone does die quicker...but not at the rate you say yours does...have you tried resetting to stock system and the root it again?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] alodar1:
No....this phone does have higher usage rates that the phone you come from. But, it should not be as bad as you indicate.

Check on this forum for threads about Batteries....there are indications that some bad batteries are in play here. You may want to follow up with TMobile to replace your battery. Some have invested in OEM batteries and gotten more steady battery performance.

You may also wish to try some factory resets with your device, just to seeif your performance may change. You may find some relief there.

If nothing works, you may wish to do some application management and see what is using your battery. Work with the settings on those apps to make sure they are constantly checking for data. Another common battery drain is signal. If you're in a weak 4g area, try setting to 2g for a day or 2, to see if that helps.

The programs others mention like setcpu, might be ok. But, speaking only for myself, have not been able to figure out how they work, and explanations here, are over my head. So I choose to not use them until I better understand them.

With a stock setup, you should see better battery life. Having to change roms, to achieve that....indicates there is something wrong.
