Well what is everyone's thought on Google+? I haven't made a thread in I don't know how long, and thought this could be worth some discussion since it appears to be trending. I didn't know what it was since I saw it pop up here of the the last two days or so, so I looked it up just now, and appears [to me] to be Google's take on Facebook, ect.

I personally don't have a Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, ect, and I'm 21 [shocking, I know], so I personally don't know if I'd use it, but if I get an invite, I may use it. Personally, I do like how in the circles, it acts like a group chat so that everyone receives the same messages, links, ect, and saves a lot of hassles texting/IM'ming multiple people on the same subject.

So all of you Facebook users know [or should know] Google had that issue with Facebook on the security issues, and each was blocking the other..blah blah blah, so the question here is, do you think Facebook could/would down the line try to cite an infringement on Google to get back at them for X integration into Google+? Again, just for discussion's sake.
[EVO 4G General] dirkyd3rk:
I wouldnt know, I've been trying to get an invite for 3 days now LOL.
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
pretty sure it's open now i think

I got my invite 2 days ago and still can't get in. I'm actually pretty excited about Google+
[EVO 4G General] wryun:
A few thoughts on Google+ ...

I have been using Google+ for 3-4 days now. I have been using facebook for a few years as well. I am very stoked on Google+! I am sure once Google opens it up to the public it is going to take off like crazy!

When comparing G+ & FB, the one word that comes to mind is freedom! I trust Google more than facebook with my data, so I feel safer sharing more personal info in my Google+ profile. Plus, you are able to moderate who you share every piece of info with. Another huge plus to this is Google doesn't hide these important secutiry features. You don't have to go on a hunt to find out how to secure your profile etc.. Facebook is notorious for this.

Google is being very smart with G+ and its features. For example, when you post to the stream, you are able to go back and edit it if you want. Also, you have the option to disable sharing and/or commenting on that specific post. Also, with posts, you have the option to share it with the public, a specific person, a specific circle, or a group of circles.

I just tried the Hangout feature last night which is a video conferencing feature. When you start a hangout, you are placed in a "room" by yourself with your webcam open. A link will also be placed on your stream and others stream letting them know you are hanging out. They have the option to join, and when they do, their webcam will enter the room. Not sure what the limit is for people in video chat, but you can have multiple people in one room. It's a rad feature! I hope they implement it in the mobile app.

The Android app is rad too! It has a huddle feature which allows one on one chat with other G+ users, or group chat with one or more circles.

You can disable or enable a feature which will auto upload all photos you take from your phone to an online private album on Google+. If you wan to share that picture, you can access it via web or mobile app and share with anyone.

The is a +1 button, this is a rad little button! Yes, it functions as facebook's like button, but it has more power that just showing that you like someones post. You will notice this button next to every result in your google searches, and if websites have it integrated, you will be able to +1 an article or website. These +1's will automatically be shown in a +1 tab in your G+ profile.

Stream = Compare to facebook's news feed

Circles = Custom groups of Google+ contacts you create

Huddle = Google+ chat for mobile app

Hangout = Google+ video conferencing for web app

+1 Button = Compare to facebook's Like button. (If you see people in facebook posting +1 in response to people's comments, this is what they mean.)

Anyway, I can go on and on! I hope Google+ "Myspaces" Facebook! I am sure it will.

A lot of thought has been put into this project, and it shows!
[EVO 4G General] jayharper08:
Thank you for all the info. I've been trying to get in for days!!
[EVO 4G General] wryun:
Keep trying! Google opens and closes G+ throughout the day.

A few friends of mine had to keep checking until they got in.

I started a thread with this info, and will add more as it comes to me.

[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
You clicked "learn more"? Everyone i've sent to has gotten in
[EVO 4G General] ArmedPropaganda:
I've had it for a few days. I love it. Only used the app so far, but it looks very promising. Feels much less invasive than Facebook.
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
Has anyone noticed that if you sent someone a request on facebook, their crap shows up on your wall even before they accept it? God Facebook is intrusive as a mother*!
[EVO 4G General] SantinoInc:
I don't have anything to back this opinion up with but I think Google + is going to do to FB what FB did to MySpace....make it a thing if the past!
[EVO 4G General] brad560:
i'm enjoying it, seems to be well thought out, not a steep learning curve, but you have to dig for certain things.. been having fun with my fellow xda and android central circles!
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Personally I have this initial feeling for said reason:

1- Google is bigger than facebook

2- Google has good security, ex: chrome browser still hasn't been hacked, whereas facebook is notorious for security threats/patches/leaked personal invitation
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
G+ is awesome; Facebook is going to be the new Myspace in a year or two. End of story.
[EVO 4G General] mikel719:
Facebook just hired geohot, who cracked the ps3 and is a known hacker.

I'm sure they have something up their sleeves. G+ on the other hand lets me do what facebook and twitter won't. Myspace who!

Here's a link

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/technology/2011/06/facebook-geohot-george-hotz-playstation-hacker.html
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Personally, I think they 'could' be using him to test their own security, but I think if any other social networks get hacked soon, I think that'll be the first place people will be looking.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
100% agree. I've been on G+ for two days now and as much as I despise FB I actually like G+ a lot so far. There is much room for refinement but this is a great start, imo.

Also, on invites: I could be wrong but I get the impression invites are not limited, invite redemptions are.. either that or they only open the door for certain time frames.

I've sent out many invites but it's different than Wave was. I don't have a certain number of invites to give, according to G+ anyone I send a message to who isn't on G+ yet will get an invite..
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
I think I read somewhere [when I did my search on Google+ initially] that while it was in the beta stage, people that had it, had a limit of about 300 invites max [at this time].
[EVO 4G General] saprano614:

[EVO 4G General] Misty Blue:
I went to a family party yesterday and everyone was talking about Facebook and keeping in touch. I so badly wanted to bring up Google+, but it wouldn't mean anything because they wouldn't be able to try it out. I, personally, haven't been able to try it, but I'm more trusting of Google than Facebook and would eventually like to steer my family toward Google when possible...like I did with Android. Even though Google+ appears to have some kick-ass features, Facebook has the mindshare of the average joe and it will be an uphill battle trying to get them to depart the place they have invested so much time and info into.

Example: After telling my husband about Google+, he responded 'why would I want to switch when I have all my pictures and friends on Facebook.' And I imagine that will be the biggest hurdle for Google to overcome. The day I can get my little brother using Google+ will be the day I know it will destroy facebook.

If anyone has an invite to spare : orozcov1981 [at] gmail.com
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
Well, as I said in my OP, I don't use either [I have 2 invites 'thanks guys' but its locked temporarily], and I would rather use google+ over facebook. Along with the hurdle/learning curve: I believe google+ will destroy facebook, like it did to myspace, and when facebook came around people had the same notion of 'why would I use facebook when I have a perfectly good myspace?' As more people get on it, they will trickle over, I foresee.
[EVO 4G General] Misty Blue:
I haven't used Facebook for 2 years. I dislike Facebook and their privacy policies. I have been trying for these 2 years just to get my husband and sister to stop using Facebook and my efforts have been futile.

I think there was a big difference between why people left MySpace for Facebook and why people might ditch Facebook for Google plus. Facebook's interface was a lot less in your face than MySpaces was. I don't think it will be that easy for Google. I do, however, think they'll win in the end. I will definitely make a push for it.

I started messing around with the Huddle part today. I have to say, once this roles out for everyone, it's going to be pretty kick ass. I hope Google will support the huddle option with cell phones with front facing cameras. If that happens, it will be game, set and match for Facebook
[EVO 4G General] CDKJudoka:
It's not a bad little set up. I remember Facebook and MySpace when they came out. It looks like Google has learned from their mistakes and pretty much started with a great product.

Please don't turn this into a invite request thread. I'm sure Roxx doesn't want it to be that. There are a ton of threads for invites.

But yes, I've been in for about 2 days now and I love it. The huddle and hangout are going to be the key features.
[EVO 4G General] jayharper08:
I didn't mean for everyone to stop posting :mad:
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:

Sweet. Just take it slow :p If you get around to it my page is in my sig.

Edit: Just seen you put bookface......sly one you are!
[EVO 4G General] teh roxxorz:
If I do get around to it [seriously thinking about it] cuz I know people that would stalk me, physically said they would on bookface, and it could be the same on google+. Though I feel more comfortable with google than bookface. And I can be sly sometimes. :)

People convert media for the phone? What file you having trouble with?
[Galaxy S II General] EarlZ:
I normally convert it to fit it into the Fat32 file size limit at about 3.8Gb, my collection usually comes from a 15-25gb source.
[Galaxy S II General] hongkongtom:
I have a TF101 my own and I used the same preset which use High Profile to try to convert the video for my SGSII, but I found that it wasn't playing with hard-decoding, even though the SGSII plays it smoothly, but I guess if I throw in something which can be hard-decoded, it would burn less battery, right? (right now without hard-decoding, it's burning 1% in around 2~3 mins)

[General Topics] Gr8erMinds:
I posted a Thread, and was asking people to come on board for a Facebook sized project, that is ready to be developed. In that thread, I started getting comments. They were like, "why don't you tell us more, maybe someone will want to get involved." So, I did that. Then the thread gets locked.

So, I come back with more information, and am telling people we have a world changing smartphone app, that really needs to be created now, and I get one response, and nothing else.

How do you win? We have something really important going on here, and there will be a huge return on it. I need people to help. I will give you what want, but we need to get this thing going. $5,000 gets this thing started. Surely there are people that want to get in. This is a disruptive technology. A consolidation of all of the best Webpages on the planet. We already know it can be done, we even have a prototype.

Seriously guys. This is a time for change. We can not do it by ourselves. It is every bit, worth your time to talk to us. We are in CrunchBase, and AngelSoft, as it is. We are doing our best to get investors.

Thank you.

[Galaxy Tab General] boodafli:
*this is for intellectual purposes only. i'm not responsible if you break your TOS with Verizon, and so on and so forth.*

(this is based on google voice, which is US and (maybe canada?) only. i think the same process would work with another VOIP type account, so like if you pay for vonage, or something, you can create an extension on the pbxes.org site, and then follow the same steps, but putting in the VOIP info instead of the google voice info, for those of you who are rocking the big VZW internationally.

to make calls: (outbound)

1. if you don't already have a google voice account, get one.

2. download dialer one.

3.download sipdroid.

4. download the google voice apk (http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22394327/gv4232.apk)

5. go to google voice on the computer, and add your tab's 'phone number' (found under the about device->status->device number. it'll act like it needs to verify some stuff to work, but it doesn't, really.

6. go through the set up on your device. (keep repeating the set up, and eventually, it'll tell you that it can't configure voicemail.)

7. open sipdroid. at the bottom of the screen, there'll be a button that says 'link pbx to existing gv account'. hit that, and enter your password.

8. go to pbxes.org (on your computer) and log in with the username and password you just created.

9. click 'extensions'. choose the sip 200 link

10. change anything you need to change, like outbound caller ID or whatever.

11. open the settings in the sipdroid app

12. put the password in first, even though it's second on the list.

13. put in your username with a -200. so if your username is flamingo, you'd put in flamingo-200.

14. set it to use wlan only, or wlan and 3g, if you've got a decent dataplan.

15. exit out of settings

16. put in a phone number and hit enter.

17. enjoy having outgoing phone-call abilities on your Verizon Tab.

(as far as I know, you don't need root for any of this. I'm running a rooted, Better Than Life RC1 tab, so YMMV.)

ETA: inbound calling: (again, i think this is US and Canada only)

okay. now I have incoming calls on the google voice number. here's what i did.

1. go to https://secure.tpad.com/signup/ and sign up for a SIP number. it's free, near as i can tell. i didn't put in any billing information anywhere.

2. after you have your tpad SIP number, go to http://phone.ipkall.com/ and port your SIP number there, to get a free, us based phone number.

3. add that phone number to google voice.

4. open sipdroid on the phone, and select your second account option under settings.

5. put your tpad SIP number into the auth username part. put your password into the password part, and put sip.tpad.com as the server or proxy. leave everything else the same.

6. go back into google voice on the computer, and click verify.

7. answer your tab, and enter the verification code.

8. your SIP number now forwards to your ipkall number, which forwards to your google voice number, allowing you to get free incoming calls on your tab.

9. use your other device to call yourself, and feel clever. enjoy!
[Galaxy Tab General] hexxamillion:
Interesting. I can make outbound calls..still trying to figure out the echo issue on the receiving side.

As far as inbound..I feel I have this partially working. My IPKall does forward to my google voice...but what number do people dial to reach me at my tab? the Tpad number is not a 10 digit number and if you try to call my google voice it goes to the tablet but does not appear to connect after I accept the call.
[Galaxy Tab General] boodafli:
People call the google voice number. Make sure you don't have it set to go straight to voicemail or anything, in the google voice settings.

[Galaxy Tab General] hexxamillion:
Cool. I will have to double check my settings and test again. Great post!
[Galaxy Tab General] hexxamillion:
I forgot to ask. Do you know a solution for the echo on the receiving end of the call. For example, I do not hear an echo but the receiver hears themselves echoing. I even tried adjusting the audio settings in SipDroid to all LOW. Just wondering if you found a workaround for this.
[Galaxy Tab General] boodafli:
hmmm. i didn't have an echo. but i used a wired mic/headset thingy. maybe bluetooth would work too?

[Galaxy Tab General] jphilpot:
It does work indeed. The only issue i have found is that most of the time mz voice is super choppy to others but i can hear them.fine. I have sipdroid set to high qaulity...

Any other ideas?
[Galaxy Tab General] boodafli:
if you're using the mic on the tab, quality is going to be fairly ****e. i don't think it's a high quality mic at all, just the bare bones for voice search/accessibility features, you know? i plugged in my OLD SCHOOL wired blackberry earphone/mic set, and that seemed to improve things.
[Galaxy Tab General] o2sys:
So what does this get charged as for the airtime usage?

Date or Minutes?

I currently only pay $20/mo for 1GB...

I would say about the same usage as streaming low qaulity music.
