Not sure how many of you have seen this on XDA today, but Google has started limiting you to four device deathorizations per year for Google Music. Normally, not such a big deal, but when you flash a ROM twice a week and have to authorize your phone that often, you will be unable to activate Google music on new ROMs until next year.
Here's the main thread in the Gnex forums: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26145534
And here's a petition they started about halfway through the thread: http://www.change.org/petitions/google-remove-google-play-music-deauthorization-limit
I'll probably post this over in the Incredible forums, too. I'd hate to have to switch to Amazon's cloud service over something this stupid.
signed the petition and this is the dumbest thing i have seen in a while. i hope they change their mind on this.
as of now i only have 3 authorized devices. my home HP PC, my nook color and my Rezound. i have only had to de-authorize once so far and it was when i still had my DX. so it looks as though it doesn't count as an activation when you upgrade your current roms, just maybe when you completely swith to another rom. I am on CR 4.5 and have updated it probably 3-4 times already.

Holy cow. I was just about to post the same thing. When I look at my authorized device list I see like 9 of the same entry for my Rezound and one for my Galaxy Tab 10.1. I don't understand why they would care how many devices you deauthorize. I'm sure there is a reason for it, but I don't get it.

I have six devices authorized right now; two laptops, my Incredible, and three Rezounds. Can't deauthorize any of them.
There's a few posts in that thread that suggest restoring your accounts through TB to avoid adding another authorization. I've never had good results from restoring account data, but if some of you hit that limit, it might be worth a shot.
Demonoid doesn't care how many devices you have.

I do this with my amazon account to keep from increasing the number of devices. Works fine for amazon mp3 and amazon app store.
Though I don't think amazon has a limit on how many deauthorizations.
Stopped using google music when at first you couldn't use but 1 google acct since wife and I have different. Would have had to upload all music twice. Amazon didn't have this problem.
I always had the issue with too many devices so now I just restore my app+data and seems to work fine. I haven't had any issues with needing to deauthorize accounts for quite awhile now because I've been restoring data.

Whao, they sure did. I wonder what changed their mind?
I don't get the idea of limiting de-authorizing anyway. I mean, I can understand limiting the total number of devices you have on it concurrently.
Good job guys, great job by google.
We spoke, they listened. Wish more companies would listen to the customers like google. Love the G!

Are there any??? If so, what's the ratio you think? Also, I see guys rooting their girls/wives phones, but I've only seen about two females that actually do it themselves. I don't know, just something random that popped up in my head. Lol
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
That's a very good question. I think/hope there are a good number of female developers in XDA and other sites. My guess is that they might use more gender neutral names, which would make it harder for us to notice (a lot like how female authors used to use male pseudonyms in order to make their novels more noticeable). Either way, I for one am certainly interested in finding them.
Me as well. I think it would be pretty awesome to find out any that are. Also, of the work that they do. Females are known for finesse and precision, so I'm pretty sure it would be pretty good...and just for security measures, I'm not in any way, shape or form, trying to be sexist. Lol "D

...though your initial question asked about female devs, of which I certainly am not. This phone was my first smartphone. To answer one of the OP's questions: I do believe in having full rights to the stuff I buy, so rooting was the first thing I did after getting the phone in May. Just took the bootloader + custom rom plunge this month after first reading the hell out of these message boards.
I'm glad to hear that. I wish more females were into rooting. Most of the times, you tell them how cool it is and all the things that you can do and they seem interested (at least in my case) only in being able to change the theme colors and nothing else. Lol

Kinda surprised at the tumbleweed. I'm a developer and a female (simultaneously!).
Is it okay to say that? Now I'm paranoid. Maybe there's something in the Official Women Rulebook of Life that disallows voluntarily revealing our gender. (That thing is way too long and boring and full of emotions, I didn't read all of it.) Policy enforcement agents are probably going to crash through my windows any second now. One of you had better bail me out.

Short answer: I wasn't a guest.
Longer answer: I had a new-ish but valid account, with a couple of thanks on the meter. Until one day it wasn't there. I couldn't log in, my email address wasn't found in the system when I tried resetting my password. So I sent two emails (waiting a couple of days in between) to the forum gods asking about the state of my account, and I didn't hear back. So I just gave up and made a new account, no harm, no foul.
I too am female but no way a developer. That being said, the first thing I ever do to any new phone I get (all moto at this point, first was backflip, then flipside now atrix) is root it. Not to be able to change themes but so its MINE. I bought it, why should I be limited in what I can do with it. I just last month finally got the balls (Haha, ok, the guts) to unlock bootloader and flash. Im no n00b by any means to technology. I started going to college to get my AS in computer science, but life and children stopped me. Im still all into playing with things. Replaced my screen on my atrix already, trying to get the flipside a custom recovery so custom roms can be flashed (which if anyone wants to help, id be grateful! ;-)). Love android, hate icrap.
I am a female, not a developer but an Electrical Engineer by profession, and do all the rooting and modding for myself and hubby.

. Ok, so to make this seem like it is actually an important piece of news can anybody actually give any statistics showing that this was an item widely used and loved by people? I'm a clown, I know nothing about it. If you say google hired tim cook away from apple that means something to me. Google only paid 25 million for this outfit does that mean it sucks or will any of us android users benefit from this? Sorry to come off stupid but i am. Give me a little knowledge please and thank you.
Sparrow is loved by many people because although it can be used for multiple email services, it specializes and really shines with GMail. In fact, having used it, I can say it's almost better looking and more functional than our own Android GMail app. The desktop app for OS X (which I played with on my brother's Air) is fantastic, and I sorely wish we had something similar on Windows. Thunderbird just isn't what I want.
That being said, I don't know how this is a "slap in the face to Apple". The Sparrow team specifically said they're not dropping the app at all, and it will continue to receive support. If this makes you giggle, I guess you laugh very easily then...
True that they'll still support Apple, but would it be safe to say that Google won't want them supporting it as much as usual? I would think their attention will be elsewhere typically.

Sorry you feel that way. Threads get shut down when they get out of hand, you know, flaming, trolling, etc. So if this one can stay civil, then it will remain open.
"Google has struggled with its Gmail app for iOS. The company likely brought the Sparrow team in to help improve its Gmail experience on iOS and Mac, as well as potentially Android and PCs" This is a quote from mashable. So in reality It seems they are trying to make google and mac work better together. There could be no better outcome than that.

I was on Appadvice today and they were basically having a "wake" for the Sparrow iOS app. The question that comes to mind is... "What about Chomp?" It was an app that help you when shopping for an app in the overcrowded Google Play Store but once Apple bought it...Poof! Gone!
Google's mobile branch makes most of its money thru Apple and Mac users. So, unless there is a google boycott from Apple causing a dip in the red, why would google stop supporting them?
Maybe got a little too ahead of myself. Just makes little sense for google to acquire Sparrow and have them continue to support Apple. That is until u know the details of what Sparrow makes and why Google acquired them. Not sure why Apple would mind Google sponsoring development of the gmail app for Mac.
If there is something I'm missing please let me know before calling me names, but shouldn't Apple be giggling?

I had to interject (and the salesman was the one who had sold me mine Saturday, and I brought him bbq when I went in yesterday) and tell him a couple things.
Your situation sounds similar to when I first bought the N7000. I actually get tastefully asked now. With that phone it was bothersome.

Just about all my co-workers and some of my family members have asked me about my phone.
A few co-workers have mentioned how much they love the look and feel of the phone. I work for a company that deals with SMS/Text Messaging stuff. I'm a developer there so we have to test our software by text-messaging in. Sometimes they need to use my phone since I'm the only one on T-mobile in the office. When I unlock the phone and let them use it, they tell me how amazing it is. (This is coming from iPhone users!)
I don't like that kind of attention, but even guys that only buy Apple stuff say they love the phone with just a few minutes to play with it.
HTC hit this one out of the park.

I never thought of that meaning. On my HD2, it made sense; you could turn the phone over, and it would automatically go to the speakerphone on the back.

Tech Radar say that they were told by Google it was just a meet & greet event, so no launches. But what some others are saying is that Kitkat 4.4, Nexus 5 & Nexus 10 2 might be launched at this event. Kitkat I think is an outside possibility, Nexus 5 & Nexus 10 2 not so much.
So far we have only rumours/speculation as to when these products (& OS) might be launched. I'm not stating this as gospel. But I thought it worth posting just in case even if it is only for Kitkat. And people would at least be forewarned in case they live stream it.

Sorry but these websites (IBTimes, Christian Post, etc) it's referring to are little better than a webcrawler putting together information that looks kind of like an article. They frequently just make up random crap to get clicks for their site and vicariously, ads. I would wait for a site such as android central or droid life to make some kind of announcement. As of right now, all official information is that the event will feature no news at all, and is just a small get together.

I have freely admitted in the OP that I am clutching to the shortest of straws. And stated that I think it unlikely. However clutch I will. Even if we just get some more info on Kitkat I'm interested.

Oh there's nothing wrong with that. I'm doing the same thing. I wish they'd turn around and say "psych! Everything will will be there! But I don't see them doing that.
Now that Apple has released the iPad Air, it puts them on the defensive end though. The more time that passes, the more likely people will overlook the Nexus 10. I'm not entirely sure Google cares though. They've already infiltrated the Apple ecosystem with most of their apps. Google's strategy is certainly one of slow, constant persistence. These tablets and phones are a kickback to people who support them I think, not a direct competitor with any other brands tablets. That's how it seems to me anyways.
Hopefully they don't keep us waiting too long. I sold the N10 in anticipation for this, and I've been waiting patiently for a while now. Come on Google.... don't wander into the world of Valve time....
We;; is 8:38 and no news about the event. It hasn't been streamed on youtube like other times and thers no updated blog about it either. Also theres been lots of errors with google services today? Coincidence? or could they have had some issues? Hopefully we'll know what went on in the conference by tomorrow but it most likely wan't any of the devices since it wasn't public.
Very suspicious that we've heard nothing I think.
I wonder if they did something huge and its all under embargo until a certain time?
Its quite odd to not hear anything from any of the major tech sites.

One of the "friends" that were invited made it sound like all they did was hang out with a bunch of other Google employees according to an article I read but why would they send out invites for that. I agree with u and I think they're planning something big and bribing the sites to stay quiet

P.S I have just let go of that very short straw I was holding. No Nexus 10 2 clues. No Kitkat insights..... Woe is me.

Ignore me I'm paronoid (& was 1/2 joking any way). Seen this....... curiouser & curiouser. http://www.geekosystem.com/google-play/
I didn’t break an NDA. The Google Play team didn’t think I would react the way I did when I got the invitation, and neglected to include some kind of note asking me not to share it.

a lot of speculators figured that Google engineered all of this on purpose to generate buzz in anticipation for their actual release event three days from now.

Anyone else find it weird that Note 7's were catching fire dang near daily then all of the sudden after Samsung issues a recall, they stop. Not trickle off. Literally STOP. Can't find 1 single report of a fire after October 11th.
There have been a few, since reported here. One from the 15th. It makes sense. Most of the ones that are going to fail already have, and many are out of circulation and we sure wouldn't hear from Samsung about any of those. It doesn't change anything, I'm glad I eventually returned mine after being in denial for a while.

I can't find the one from October 15th anywhere. I've searched and searched and searched. And even at that, I disagree that the ones that will have caught fire have. It doesn't really make sense that the reports would just literally STOP on one day. Even in recall situations, they trickle off as people return devices/etc. These reports stopped.
There was one in Malaysia, one in Singapore, one in UK and another one which I can't remember where, but it was posted on reddit by the victim's wife. It is probably still happening but people keep it to themselves as Samsung cleared itself of responsibility.
These threads need to stop. There are multiple under this same topic already and when the examples were posted they were ignored. Most people aren't using them anymore. Those who are are using them differently.
There's no conspiracy here. Samsung is privy to way more reports than we will ever know as they saw the return data. They made the decision based on this info and not media info to recall them.
Here's one from the q and a section where the post titles that end with question marks go.

Give me the freedom to have a different opinion about how many users are still using them, about conspiracy or whatever it is and the rest. Samsung still doesn't have any idea whit what was happened. And if you are underestimating the impact created by the media then... take a look at what's happening in US election now. But you are right about the thread.

All I'm saying is consider the fact they see all of the returns. We see just the ones that hit the press. They made the choice based on what they were seeing. I think they had a better idea of the volume/scale of the problem and wouldn't have issued a final recall and stopped production otherwise.
If it was just the US media they could have opted to recall only the us versions and leave the rest of the world market intact. Instead, they recalled all note 7.

I think the 'bad' Note 7's were made in Vietnam and have been returned JMHO.

simple, the news media got bored of that story and moved on to have fun with the US Elections.
it's all about the viewer ratings.
explosions and fires still happens, you just don't hear about it, since no news media is reporting on it.
Explosion and fires don't happen anymore... since no news is reporting on it. See how easy it is tu use the logic both ways? )

If they stopped happening and there's no more news coverage, why would Samsung and carriers be blocking the note 7 outright and/or pushing updates to hobble the phone. Oh that's right...they determined the phone to be faulty and dangerous.

The proof is in the fact that Samsung will work it's hardest to get that note out of your hands. First with os updates. Second with carrier blocks. They don't want you to have the phone they made. That's proof enough.

That i's a pretty childish argument... Samsung made an OFFICIAL recall. When it's official it's official and that's it. But even Samsung can't reproduce in lab the problem. And THAT is a big question mark for us. The phone is so faulty and dangerous that even after two months we keep using them without a single problem. ))

No name calling was made sir so I don't appreciate your tone. The facts are the facts. Recall was official and yes they are hobbling phones by limiting charge of all to 60% and also now we have carriers who disabled note 7's across the board. I understand you don't like those facts or agree with them but I would appreciate it if you refrain from name calling.
My point is that Samsung would not be going to all these steps if the problem were mere phantom in nature.

I was a little ironic thinking about the current situation... We still use them even if they say they are dangerous and nothing is happening now. Don't take it personally. Read again my lines and yours and you will see what I'm talking about. When a recall is made that it... they have to take back everything. Even if we like it or not. I agree with that. But the facts are on both sides. The arguments the same. The single problem is WE KNOW something wrong. And we want answers from Samsung. I don't want to talk about the media... they where overreacting about the whole situation. And all of us we know what's happening when they do that. I'm not relaying on media because i don't trust them. I'm relaying on my own knowledge because I'm working in this industry from more than 25 years. And that is my opinion. If you want a technical discussion about that you're very welcome. But again... please, don't take it personally.

exploding note 7 is fake, if you use cheap chargers it will explode
