Is this more than the just the apk that has been ubiquitous.
Its certainly more....
It the streaming service a la "Amazon MP3 Cloud."
I got my invite too. Ironically the e-mail says:
Hello Motorola XOOM user,
We'd like to tell you about some changes to the Music player on your tablet. The latest app update now supports Music Beta, a new service from Google. As a Verizon Motorola XOOM user, you’ve been extended an early invitation to beta test this service.

I have never signed this account into a XOOM, I live in Canada, don't own a XOOM. But I got the invite anyway =)
I signed up originally for the invite by logging into a US VPN. But now that I've been invited, I seem to be able to do 100% everything from my Canadian IP address.

Google thinks we have a XOOM because our tabs say we do.
EDIT: my bad, cmstlist says I'm wrong. I don't care enough to check. Go Google XOOM Music!
I got a invite setting it up on my Nook now. I have it on my Droid too
I have found that google was wrong. You can listen to it on many devices at one time. I had my wifes Incredible, my droid and my Nook ll playing different songs at the same time from my one account

I'm looking at the CM7 build.prop and I don't see anything that implies XOOM. In fact I see the word "passion" in there - it identifies like a Nexus One?

My bad. But really, who cares?
I just realized. Google recognizes my devices as a "BN Flyer".
They probably think I've gone mad.
Should have changed it to Xoom before signing up.

This is exactly what happened to me. It's working great without using a VPN on all my devices!
Are you all running this on CM7, or anybody running it on rooted stock? I tried grabbing the APK from my Evo and it installs but never gives me the authorization screen. If running rooted stock, did you use ManualNooter and if so, what version? I'm on one of the original (or second release) versions, so I'm wondering if it's my build.props file keeping it from working.
I couldn't find it in the market either.
Thanks!
Still wish I got an invite.
Got it. Running great on both my nook and evo.
(both running CM7)
using this on my nook and eris
nook it works great, and google recognizes it as BN BN Nook Color
on my eris it runs decent on wifi, but takes a little longer to get going when im on 3g. plus the eris sucks.
trick i learned was to select an album, then pause and let it buffer through almost a whole song before i let it play the album.
i've written google countless reports about things i think should be different, but all in all im pleased.
I got an invite also on my google account not associated with any android device. I set up a second google account for my android devices to better sync contacts.
I think the invites are just going down the list of people who signed up, or at least a list sorted by some non-android related order. I did sign up pretty early, i think, since I was paying attention to google IO when it was announced.
All-in-all, I haven't been overly impressed with it compared to Amazon's. The big missing feature is that you can't download MP3s after you upload it. The free music they give you was kind of nice though.. i was expecting mostly indy songs, but there were some decent songs there... although some of the decent songs were mediocre live performances from over-the-hill performers
They just sent another round of invites and I got one. Installing the music manager now.
Just got the invite. Takes forever to upload music, though. Took me a whole night just to upload 2000 songs. At this rate, it's going to take me a whole week to hit the 20k song limit.

Sounds exactly like my experience uploading all of my tunes to Amazon cloud.
(still waiting for my invite)
So for the ones who have it can you tell me if theres a huge bonus to google music over audiogalaxy? I love my audiogalaxy account and there's no need for upload

Hello,
Just got my Tab on Friday. Are the subject apps available? I cannot find them in the market.
Thanks!

no on Netflix and the future of it on this tablet is quite grim too.
there's no native Facebook app optimized for tablets just yet (how silly is that), only the phone version which is not available for this device. people tend to like this as a substitute for now:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.locomolabs.facebook
or just use the browser.
i think Words With Friends is not tablet optimized either and thus not available.

There isn't even an iPad app for Facebook yet.
I use WWF on my Tab without issue
I use the Facebook app from my phone. Actually, it automatically downloaded and installed when I first logged into the tablet. It synced all my apps, even the ones that don't show up in a market search.
I read somewhwre, I believe it was the words for friends change log, that they were working on a tablet optimized version. Could be wrong though.

Friendcaster isn't free but it works great. FriendMe should have a new version out next week that's more usable. And Facebook iPad is coming out soon... so maybe HC next?
Friendcaster sucks IMO. Only thing it has is the feed. You're better off using the actual website. FriendMe is a little better but its still missing some of the core features.

Yes they did during the last update. They said they are working on a Honeycomb version. The phone version does work, but it cuts off the bottoms of the letters in your tray. You can't tell F's from E's for example. Also when you use a blank tile the letter chooser is not displayed properly.
That said, it does work.
I would assume the new UI will be more like the Ipad's.

I have WWF on my phone, and it auto downloaded to my tab when I opened the market for the first time.
Suppose I have to wait since this is my first Android anything
You can sideload it: Download it here
Completely legit, use the quick download button. Install Astro before you download it, and use the app installer.

I've got WWF on my tab. Auto downloaded first time. It blows on the tab atm. The bottom bar covers like 20% of the letters. for some you have to drag them up to see what they are. They need a tab version badly.
Here is a great facebook app https://market.android.com/details?id=com.locomolabs.facebook&feature=search_result

Just got my to.1 yesterday, I was in love with it until I found out these three apps were not available, looks like I will be returning it in the next few days, =( pretty bummed, I guess I should have researched this prior to purchasing, but they seemed like such basic app's that it never crossed my mind that they wouldn't be available
I have been an android guy for a long time ( had a g1, and now have a g2 ) and this may be what pushes me over to the Ios darkside
just spoke to a Netflix rep. to summarize, he said that they are very aware that tons of people are looking for a Honeycomb app, and that they have offered the major manufacturers (Samsung, HTC, Motorola..) the necessary things to integrate Netflix, and that it's up to the manufacturers to decide if they would like to implement the DRM needed to run Netflix. but since some of these manufacturers, Samsung for example, are planning on a media hub.. the Netflix rep said that Samsung might see it as competition to their own offerings. so we should all contact both Samsung and Netflix to let them know how badly we want Netlifx.

So I just finished chatting with Samsung and this is what they had to say....
Dave: Hi, thanks for reaching out to Samsung tech support. How can I help you today?
Andre: I recently purchased your new galaxy 10.1 and found out that there is no Netflix app compatible with it. why is that?
Dave: Please allow me to go through the inquiry.
Andre: k
Dave: Let me explain.
Dave: Netflix works on Silver lite to stream movies. The Samsung Tab doesn't support this Silver lite. However, Samsung and Microsoft are working to release a upgrade so that Tab will support Silver lite and then you can stream from Netflix.
Andre: how soon can we expect this?
Dave: I'm sorry; this information will be released only after releasing the appropriate upgrade for the Tab and I do not want to provide you with any false information.
Andre: are we talking weeks, months, years?
Andre: this is a big reason i purchased the tablet
Dave: I can understand your concern. I recommend you contact our phone support at 1-800-SAMSUNG (726-7864); they are available 24/7. I'm sure they'll assist you further in this regard.
Andre: k... thanks
Well I bought the last touchpad in my area (after ordering from BB online and getting a backordered email) and it is the demo model which will not let me set up a webos account or anything. I read over in the pre forums about it and posted there as well but was hoping maybe someone here might know a way around this?
I am calling HP tomorrow because I read that the serial numbers are locked to a demo unit in case of theft and they can remove the lock so you can use it normally (crossing fingers) but I really do not know till they open tomorrow. I called the WebOS number included in the box and they said to exchange it for another one (I laughed) and then they said to just return it. I really want to have one of these things to play with so any help is really appreciated.
Waiting till the touchandroid thing comes out might not help since I have to return it within 14 days I believe for them to give me my money back. I would have to have a perfectly working tablet to keep it rather than spending $150 on a demo unit that wont work.
Hoping for help

Or, buy one from here (16GB for $99 with $5 shipping) and when you get a tracking number, return the one you have for a refund.

Thanx for the link but on my end they are all showing as $415.53 and up - even on the right hand side of the page where amazon keeps other sellers. Lowest priced one says $234.98.
I am still hoping HP will fix this.

Yeah, sorry man. the price was $100, but that company appears to have sold out. The name has changed which is weird that Amazon would have the same link for a different company.

Very nice! Now if we could get to register webos accounts, we wouldnt need HP anymore
I may do this later today after seeing if HP will fix the demo units or not. Still might keep it, I don't know yet.
The activation bypass works to an extent. You can get past the webos login, and enable developer privs to add homebrewed apps thru preware, but it seems very unlikely that you can sideload the apps only available through the login app store. At least you can web browse and watch movies and such on it. If anyone knows how to get non homebrewed apps on it, i would like to know. For now, i think its worth the value, even for the demo unit, to wait for android port.

Just spoke with someone at the 1-866-477-3824 number and she told me I am basically out of luck. She is transferring me to tech support now to see if they know of a way to do it but it is looking like HP is gonna be pricks and not release the serials. She told me the serial numbers for demo units are set to not allow the webos account creation and access so if they wanted to, they could release them it seems.
Ok tech support just hung up on me - gotta love it.
WebOS account
OK well I was doing some thinking and can think of 2 possible ways to fix the app problem. 1 is impostah and changing everything we can to clone a non demo touchpad. This will hopefully fool them into allowing us to create or log into an account. If this doesn't work my second idea is a better app repository to put apps onto it. Since HP is discontinuing it's work on the webOS we will likely have a need for the repository eventually.
I know there is the homebrew repository but one that also has apps from the official store would be awesome. An all in one app store that is completely free and open. Would be a first to some degree on the mobile platform. I would set this up but I can't access the app store so wouldn't be able to contact Devs and such about putting their apps onto it.
This is basically PreWare. Except it wouldn't fly because of all the warez. PreWare is fine for now. Put your effort into that since it is already going strong.
preware
Preware just doesn't have very many (useful) apps available.

I have found a way to Create a WEBOS account after going into Developer mode. Now i am using WEBOSDoctor to reinstall WebOS 3.0.2 and will try logining in with the account I Just creadted. I can log into the WEBOS site online through HP's website which it didnt allow me to do earlier. Will keep everyone posted!
IT WORKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I took everyone's work so far and went a step further so I am taking as much credit as everyone else who managed to crack this! I first flashed it using WEBOSDoctor to 3.0.2. Then i used the devicetool.jar to put it into Developer mode. Then I used Preware to install Impostah. I then used Impostah to create a WEBOS account. Reflashed it to 3.0.2 using WEBOSDoctor and logged in with the WEBOS account I had just created! Then once up I launched the HP APP STORE and it came up with an error. I closed it out waited a few more minutes and the loaded it again and quickly tapped on the Categories tab at the bottom. Clicked on Games and Installed Angry Birds. WE HAVE ALL CRACKED THIS AND NO LONGER NEED TO FIGHT WITH HP OR RETURN OUR UNITS TO THE STORES! GREAT JOB EVERYONE INVOLVED!

Confirmed this worked!!!, but in a different manner. I didn't use Impostah to accomplish the fix.
1) Went to https://developer.palm.com/
2) Signed up for Developers Account (disregard paypal memo)
3) Fill out info (first name, last name, email), click continue.
4) Check your e-mail, and validate your WEBOS developers account.
5) From registration page, fill out e-mail address, create a pw, and choose/create a security question; Continue.
6) Fill out Contact Information; Continue.
7) Once you reach Tax Info page, just close your page (you might be able to earlier than this, but I went that far and it worked).
Your account is "kinda" created.
8) Turn on HP Touchpad (you might have to follow Mattatha's instructions above), and get to WEBOS login screen. Choose Create Profile, and type in the same Name, E-mail, password, security question as you created earlier.
Note* I tried clicking Sign In on my HP Touchpad after doing steps 1-7, but it still didn't seem to work, but step #8 got me in, and able to use the app store.
Verify your login my going to Device Info.
Enjoy your HP Touchpad Demo with full capabilities!
Called the store i got it from and they told me if I try this they will not take it back. They said if HP won't help, I can get a refund unless I try to hack around the demo stuff.
If I try this and it does not work for me, is there a way to put the demo software back on and remove everything else?

RadioShark - they said if it is not in the same condition they do not have to take it as a return.
I may give this a shot, just wish I knew if the one I ordered from BB was gonna ship (won't let me cancel anymore but still says "Order Status: 1 item(s) - Order in process of being fulfilled; Usually ships in null - null days."), if so, I would return this in a heartbeat.
If I do try it then the wife would have to let me keep both of them if the BB one ships too LOL If she doesn't kill me, then she would get to keep both
Trying to figure out how to do the preware and impostah thing right now - if I figure it out, I think I will try that way to see how it goes. I am afraid the developer accounts may get cancelled after a certain period of time without having the paypal and tax info in them (I don't know if this will happen, I am just thinking it may).
You guys/gals/people/aliens are awesome for figuring this stuff out! Came here for my Droid Eris and have Cyanogenmod on it now Awesome site!

Those nicknames sound about right, and remember, computers are suppose to magically work. There is no back end servers that manage everything, it just works.
My drive isn't available yet. The funny thing is that I was interviewing with Dropbox a few weeks ago when this was rumored. During the second interview they asked "what feature do you think could completely revolutionize Dropbox?" my answer was the ability to store media and stream it to your devices, they said it was a good idea but would probably create problems with the DMCA/MPAA/RIAA/any other four letter asshole groups or laws. I just saw on G+ today that someone mentioned this was a feature and when I asked them about it they confirmed it worked!
I have a feeling that once this matures, Dropbox is going to lose a fair amount of users.
Have you guys seen the verge article? Basically, they could possibly use, modify, and profit from what you store in the gdrive. I went ahead and downloaded it, and it works pretty well. Just waiting to see how Google responds to the complaints. I dig google, and all the stuff the put out. Just sayin.

"As it turns out, the company claims no ownership—it says so right in the terms of service, and a comparison between Google Drive's terms and that of other storage services turns up few material differences, except for a couple of questionable terms that may land your content in Google's promotional materials."
Just got mine activated today, it's neat, but nothing mind-blowing yet. The only thing that is awesome right now is if you upload a video to your drive you can watch it on a mobile device.

During the second interview they asked "what feature do you think could completely revolutionize Dropbox?" my answer was the ability to store media and stream it to your devices, they said it was a good idea but would probably create problems with the DMCA/MPAA/RIAA/any other four letter asshole groups or laws. I just saw on G+ today that someone mentioned this was a feature and when I asked them about it they confirmed it worked!
I have a feeling that once this matures, Dropbox is going to lose a fair amount of users.

There's a little trick to "forcing" activation. If you have 2 google accounts on your phone, download the app and keep switching between accounts in the app and it will activate. Did it yesterday and it worked. I now have 2 active accounts 10 minutes after signup.
not really liking drive though..or the app I should say. Lacks image thumbnails and can't create folders. To view an image it takes time to open where dropbox is almost instant and you can swipe to next pic just like in gallery. IMO, dropbox is still the winner. But I'm sure its only time till those issues are addressed.

Haven't tried going online, but if I can upload and view from the app, the drive must be active
Try it... It's not just me cause I found that trick mentioned in another thread which I can't find now...

Sorry for the newb questions but coming from an Iphone 4 to the ATT HOX+ for USA this friday the day it is released. Have never used android anything so this is all new to me. Basically how would i get my contacts and music from my iphone to my new HOX+ when i get it? On iTunes i tried to sync my contacts to my google mail account but nothing happened. iTunes asked for google email info, typed it all in, synced phone, said sync was complete. Logged into my gmail and saw no contacts in it so it seems nothing synced?
I read with the new HTC Sync Manager download for this HOX+ device it will somehow sync your music straight from iTunes? Is this true and if so sounds easy enough?
Any suggestions on must have apps to download and use for HOX+ when i get it?
Of course like anyone i would love to use my HOX+ as soon as i get it but at least need all my contacts on the device as i use it for work as well. I also read you can use an app called Bump if i download it on both my iphone and HOX+ i can then just Bump my contacts over with this app? If this is true, can this be performed with my sim card only in my HOX+ and no sim card in my iphone? Only have 1 sim card of course for only 1 device.
Appreciate any info, thank you
Hi there,
I am not sure but the easiest way to get your contacts from your Ifone to your gmail account would be with a vCard which according to gmail is compatible..guess you just attach the vcard to a mail to your gmail address and open it, on your computer (Windows?), within the Contacts tab in your gmail account (contacts management just click on the gmail link under Google)
There you have on top of your contacts list the option "moer" and there click on import, point to the download of the vCard and it should load.
Another thing is the copyright protected iTunes musicfiles...that is a bummer...
I never tried to get iTunes music files to Android...I left left any bitten fruit behind back in 2008...except of the 15GB of music I bought while being blinded by Apple. Had backup CDs with all my purchases, then the motherboard of my iBook broke and all stuff gone...until they introduced their cloud sync I could only listen to my music by running the actual CD backups...most annoying...but after I synced all my old music to my iTunes Windows I had to convert it all with TuneClone software to be able to play them! That was a right kerfuffel...
I tell you...I never buy anything in iTunes ever again! I only use it now to download my favourite DeepHouze DJ mixes
Believe me..once you break the chains Apple forces around their customers you will free soooo free...and with the help of xda community you can start to enjoy mobile technology the way it is meant to..to be fun, to be on the edge, to be for everyone! At least that is how I felt
Right, to be back on topic...try the vCard import thingy in your gmail contacts setting..with the iTunes stuff maybe someone else is more up to have latest info!
Njoi your One X+ it is amazing!

I hear you bro. As you can see in my sig last time i was around this site i had an ATT Tilt2 device from HTC and really loved it! This was way back with windows mobile 6.1 or 6.5 i believe and when sense original first came out! I then upgraded to iPhone 4 as soon as it came out and loved it jailbroken. Never owned an Apple product in my life and still this device is the only Apple product i own and will now only use as my car's ipod player once i get the HOX+. Apple really is crap, even if i went from iphone 4 to the new 5 it's barely a leap forward and took Apple almost 2yrs to produce this? They careless about their customers and honestly it's all a trend, not at all quality. Very excited to get into Android devices and learn as much as i can about them and just reading this whole HOX+ forum and watching youtube vids i'm very very excited! Going to sneak out of work Friday as soon as my local ATT store opens to be the first to purchase the HOX+ then run to the nearest mall to get the ZAGG HD screen shield professionally installed, then call up SquareTrade for my 2year unlimited coverage device warranty, then i'll be all set to mod and do whatever!
I'll try what you mentioned but you would think there would be an easier way. Hope i can easily figure it out on friday when the time comes.

Just start your hox+ and when you're asked if you want to sync your data do it. It worked for all my previous phones.

I had a trial with the S4 but returned it due to my eyes hating the display compared to my old Samsung Infuse super clear, bright display. I had disabled every bit of bloatware and successfully installed Adobe flash player, and could play flash videos on sites through certain browsers (Boat and Dolphin). I must be able to watch flash American Sign Language videos so I would like to know of others experiences with the HTC One worked well, or not, for flash videos after installing flash player as I had on the S4.
Thanks...
Flash works on stock browser bu default. It is also an option to enable/disable in stoxk browser's settings

Yes, that is what the S4 stock browser supposedly did also but in reality it did not. That's why I'm wanting to know of users real life experiences playing various videos on different web pages before I buy the ONE. The display of the ONE is so far superior to the S4!

I haven't tried it much, but it worked fine in the couple of times I did. Do you have a particular website you'd like me to try?
Also, if there's a store nearby, you could go try out specific sites yourself.

Thank you... I just spent the day trying to find a live HTC One in the 'big' city area of Vermont. There were plenty of S4, but only mock-ups of the ONE. Best Buy, Walmart and several AT&T stores only had the fakes.... and the AT&T corporate store was beyond rude and ignorant!
The most important videos need my login info. On the following page there is a video on the top right side and also the lower right side, http://www.lifeprint.com/that that would be a good start.
Another site is http://www.signingsavvy.com/browse.php
Type a simple word in the search box and a video should come up to play.
That would be a big help. Thanks...

Unfortunately, most of the American Sign Language sites, especially those with thousands of word sign videos. ASL is completely visual, no voice. An ASL site programmer I know said it's been an absolute nightmare since the new phones and tablets have been phasing out flash and there are so many different platforms dealing with it differently.

On the first site, I couldn't get the upper-right video to play. It showed up as a flash movie, but the play button didn't work. The video in the lower-right seemed to work, though.
Couldn't test the second site, as it says a login is required to search.
Thanks for trying...
Much appreciated!

I know Lifeprint.com is trying, but they and many of the other sites have such a massive amount of video files from decades of individual vocabulary word signs, etc. It is a major job that has not gone smoothly. Think of changing format of each word in an unabridged dictionary (visual only). On each and every ASL site I use there are people writing in daily about their devices not able to play the videos... Mac, Windows, IOS, Android, and all of the individual variables from before and after the flash/HTML5 upheaval. Most of these people are not particularly cyber-tech savvy and just need to be able to watch the videos to learn ASL. I have severe hearing loss and can not use hearing aids so I have been trying to learn sign for several years. In the beginning the issues were only my own brain not being on board to learn ASL easily,.... now I am beyond frustrated with the videos and sites I depend on almost every day not working as they should.
My Infuse is in the dark ages (Froyo) with flash, but I can play most of the videos and use the ASL sites. When I had the trial with the S4, I could watch some of the videos and sites after installing flash player and a specific version of Dolphin and Boat browsers. They had many quirks though.... a video would show up but be unresponsive to touch, or the video show would play and act fine but not be able to be zoomed so it would be too tiny to see clearly. Before I had installed Flash Player none of the sites worked at all. My friend has an Iphone and Ipad and is often unable to use the ASL sites and videos. Some sites I have given up with but some I must be able to use.
Most youtube videos will play on the new phones. It's the non-youtube videos that I need to be able to watch and interact with.
AT&T had my returned S4 sitting lost somewhere in their warehouse until I had a chat and they found it. Now I am waiting for them to process and say I am able to update. I also keep hoping that HTC quality control will be improve and the Ones will come through with fewer issues. My old Infuse seems to be working better since they reactivated it with a new sim so maybe I will just wait a bit longer rather than adding another possible $36 return fee.
I use Maxthon browser to play flash websites. You can set it up to play flash always when you go to settings. It's free on play store.
Hope that helps.

Thanks, Minicoop. I had tried Maxthon browser a few times on my Infuse, my Galaxy Tab 8.9, and the S4 trial. It did not handle the specific videos I need to play well at all. I have really seen that since html5 has become the norm, all browsers that supposedly play flash websites do not play the videos I need to watch without issues or at all.
Just a confirmation about not using tools to root.

I graduated for Comp Sci&Tech & I've been open source w/ android for a year. I spent 6 months studying the development of android and how it functions I have successfully rooted my h1m7 s-off, superclocked, & nodded the hell out of it I've done the sane with Samsung s gs4 and converted my HP touchpad to Android I wouldn't spend 1penny for an iPhone! Back to the point experimenting with the touchpad I have bricked 2 times and it can be very frustrating ! First time took about 12hrs to fix and when bricked it may be permanently destroyed. So take heed when the developers tell u to know what your doing before flashing. The ones that don't listen brick and then plead,& demand, help like these guys are have nothing better to do. My apologies if this sounds harsh but this could save our $1000 smartphone! I am no professional I'm just in accord with Skizzy.

Silly Goose, we are not talking about flashing a phone. We are talking about getting a phone to play flash media which few newer phones support.
