Their signup page has changed so many times I'm worried because I signed up when it was first available and it's almost a completely different form now.
Should I sign up again?

It's always been like that, just hit continue and it'll take you to the sign up page.
ok, GUYZ calm down....
you should all recieve an email telling you ur invited, but u need to type in an "code" that is txt messaged to you to complete the process. so make sure u give the right phone number. and also the "beta code" is for the people that have attended the confrence, and they apperantly have a priorty for the beta program. and if you want you can sign up again. i certainly would. and no i still have not recived any more information.
i have also heard from another person that they started sending out sms's....
and the "beta code" is for people that have attended the confrence and went to their booth.

I'm keeping a close eye out. I signed up to recieve an sms 12 days ago.
So do we know for sure if they have started sending out text messages to people? I know their website changed thursday night, but they haven't updated their blog or anything.

I got the text message with the confirmation link. Clicked on it, but my phone wouldn't connect to the internet, so I soft reset. The text was gone after the phone came back on! I'm so annoyed. Anyone know how to recover a lost text message?
I signed up after i read about it on engadget. I actually installed it. Must say it does load desktop views fast as hell. Reminds me of the iphone where you have to zoom in. to a certain part of the page. It actully plays youtube videos in the webpage much like your desktop. i had to download it like 20 times to get it to open up. Man its fast. I thnk its fast becasue it doesnt load the entier page. you have to zoom in holly cow...
Yo, guys. Do i really need to give them my phone number to install Skyfire, or just my email? I want to try it on my PDA running Classic version, not a phone. Since now they started giving out the copies, how long would it take to recieve Skyfire. Any suggestions?

Its not supported, you have to have a phone number...
Works as advertised
Just saw I had a text message and was up and running in about two minutes on my 8525. It's fast and youtube worked natively. Going to keep testing, but looks like it will soon be my default browser.
can you tell me when you applied for the beta?..that would be a help.
Guys and gals, I've just published a review of the current version of SkyFire. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393693
I remember seeing that with FROYO we could link to Google Chrome and auto transfer files from the PC to our phone wireless over WIFI. Has anyone got this to work?

good job, makes it easer
I didn't find the directions too difficult to follow...though they didn't really make it very clear that the apk needs to be registered first.
However, even though I register the app on my phone with my email address, my computer still says unregistered. Any ideas? I'm using google apps with a custom domain. It took my login, it just said it was unregistered...
Good guide EkostonS. I got it working. But uhm what's the purpose for this chrome-phone extension? It just opens up the link on the phone? Perhaps I am missing the bigger picture, haha.

you must login to that for this to recognize to send.
and the point is to send things from your comp to your phone.
such as, MAPS, LINKS, VIDEOS
watching youtube video and ur leaving? send to your phone.
want to bookmark a site on your phone ur viewing on ur pc? send to your phone
and one of my fav's
want to download a cd torrent on your phone? download a torrent app on your phone, send the link from pc to phone and download !
works great with maps

That is pretty cool. Great job
Thanks for the guide. Maps direction doesnt work for me though.
how do we remove the old one, tried installing the new one from market but it puts 2 icons on there. Can anyone post the new apk. or how do we extract apk?
nmind i found out how to extract it.
i also have two icons...annoying
I downloaded "Qik for Evo 4G" and it simply removed the previous... Only one icon here...
Once you reboot it will erase the other icon , and you should have only 1 present
lets call each other!! lol somebody!!

yeah, after having the original one, then 2 updates, i had three icons for a while. i refuse to put it on again.
what's funny is that i now have absolutely no qik apps on my phone, that i can find, or apk's hidden anywhere. but, when i go to the downloads page in the market, all it says for qik is 'update available', as if i have it installed :/ go figure

I need help I downloaded the new Qik for evo app. Now when I click on video chat it says my number is not verified. so when I go to verify my number it says a sms was send to my phone but I never actuallly get it.

I have the same problem with the verification sms...
Able to set up my Qik and everything. Is there anyway you can delete videos that have been posted? I had two test runs but not looking to keep those up at all! Thanks for the info guys. Also the Qik name is Diesel828
Log-In to the Qik website to view/delete videos... I received the verification text, but there may be an alternative to verify it from the site...

Hello,
do you know uptimeprj.com? They got a team for Android too.
You can download the app for the project for free in the market. Its called DroidUptime.
But first register on uptimeprj.com by clicking the "subscripe" button at the top or here.
Now login and open the app on your phone, press the menu button and insert your password and username, set the update interval to 2 hours, go back and press start. (if you want to give your phone a nickname just write something in the "hostname" field)
Now join the Android Team by clicking the button in the middle of the site.
Have fun!
App thread on their site
I joined it earlier today for giggles since my N1 is at 16+ days, but I have yet to see the data show up on the server.. Still shows 0 devices, etc.. The service is running and it's updated several times.
Any ideas?
what is your profile link? Mine is http://users.uptimeprj.com/xpatriick/en/
Edit // I think this is yours? http://users.uptimeprj.com/khaytsus/en/
You have to add your system. I can't remember how I did it.. if I even did something.
Your Name and password in the app is right?! check it again please

Yep, it's all correct, I'll check it again, maybe look in alogcat.. Nothing in logcat, I've changed the password in the client (just in case I typoed), and letting it run again.

Odd, I just noticed my Nexus and my wifes Aria both are not updating uptime.. Anyone else seeing the same?
Aha, alogcat tells me why..
W/System.err(24291): at org.r3pek.droiduptime.DroidUptimeService.getMACAddrMD5(DroidUptimeService.java:65)
W/System.err(24291): at org.r3pek.droiduptime.DroidUptimeService.sendUptime(DroidUptimeService.java:133)
W/System.err(24291): at org.r3pek.droiduptime.DroidUptimeService$1.run(DroidUptimeService.java:49)
Weird. I tried and tried to make it work, no go.. So I decided to put the phone on wifi and sniff the connection and see what's being sent up and received... and it's worked since.
Shame, I was trying to get the wifes Aria on the list.. it had nearly two months uptime, but locked up on her the other day.
Version 1.4 is on the Market. Hope it works better now.
Hey guys!
I developed TalkMyPhone, an open-source app that enables you to control your phone from google talk. It's like android-notifier on steroids, since it brings almost the same features and you don't need wifi/bluetooth enabled.
I can't post links since I'm new here. Google for talkmyphone or look for it on the market.
Developers: I'm open to contributions
Users: please use the issue tracker for suggesting features
I don't have many non-french users since the info did not spread very well outside of french blogs, so I'm posting it here. I hope someone will find it useful and write something about it.

Do you need multiple GTalk accounts in order to talk to it, or can you "talk to yourself" ?
Niice Idea
sweeeet thx
Doesn´t work on my SGS. After trying to to login the app closed. And now i can´t open it again. Even every other app wont start.
Only a restart helped. Uninstalled.
But the idea is interessting. maybe i´ll give a try again later.

The 2 solutions work. Talking to yourself is possible in gmail, but you cannot initiate the conversation, so in this case, best is to use a third party client like pidgin. Otherwise you can set up a second account. Any standard jabber account is possible.
Accounts delivered at jabber.org are *very* easy to get. You don't need to give your email address, you don't need to sign an agreement. You just have to fill a captcha to prove you're human.

Weird. Some unlucky people experiment bugs like this one. I don't know where this comes from, and I try to improve the code. It works 100% of the time for me, so all I can do is look at 'adb logcat' traces users leave on the bugtracker. If you wish to do so, it might improve your chances to see this fixed
giving it a shot
you may try changing your preferences.xml to the attached (just because of english, just change .zip to .xml)
i have to find the other file, because i noticed some other grammatical things. no worries tho
and, 'additional settings', in the xml has too many 'n's, lol

Thank you, I'll update that in the next release.
Pretty Neat
I was able to go on Google Talk on my PC and send messages to my phone. The copy:text feature I can definitely see myself using so that I don't have to type long URLs in the browser. The other functions seem like they would be nice if you lost your phone or if it was stolen. Overall a pretty neat app! Thanks!

So I have the app running and logged in. (Phone is logged into [email protected])
On my PC I have [email protected]. I message from PC to phone (John to Paul) and nothing happens.
I tried "where" "ring" etc, but the app doesn't respond. What am I doing wrong?
What next...
When you start the app on the phone, make sure you input your google information and then start the app. If you have Google Talk up on your PC, it should pop up a window for you to type commands into (talk to/control your phone). It did for me anyway. Type a "?" to get a list of the commands...

Hmm, I did all this. Let me see where the issue is:
My phone's Google account is set to [email protected].
I put in [email protected] and my password into TalkMyPhone.
I start up TalkMyPhone and it logs in -- successfully.
I go to my PC and log into gmail on [email protected].
I message from my PC ([email protected]) to my phone ([email protected]).
I get the message but nothing happens with TalkMyPhone.
Can you tell me where the issue is?
i entered in all of my information too and nothing seems to work, the app says loging in .. then that its successful. but then nothing can be done from there.
i cant even log in
i always get the message: "login failed" and then "stopping service"
i tried setting it on "use the phones account settings"
then i turned that off, and manually put in my gmail-settings - still didnt work
Same issues over here... Got it all connected, reciving messages from the phone works fine, too (welcome, battery, incomming callings) but sending commands doesn't work for me.
Got a HTC Magic/Sapphire with CM6 (2.2) running on it.
I had the same problem. I changed the GTalk Port to 5222 and entered my ****@googlemail.com instead of ****@gmail.com
Works perfect on my HD2 (Android ) Thank you!
When I log in on phone i get this gTalk message on my pc from my own account:
Welcome to TalkMyPhone. Send "?" for getting help
Battery level 78%
Works just perfect...

do i need to have the real gtalk installed on my computer?
doesnt applications like trillian for windows work?
I tried Pidgin and it works but I use the GMail-Chat because it's my info hub
Anyways, great work chm.duquesne, this is a really great application.
Now there just needs to be a way in GTalk to turn off the chat notification in Android for a single contact
// Edit
The "where" feature is really awesome, mate.
Nothing serious but the reply feature does not work for me. When I received a SMS and I type "reply:This is my reply" it answers "No match for "+491234567890" (the number being the correct number, of course).

Is it possible to get some kind of ping button on the phone, that opens the conversation window on the pc? I cannot figure out how to open a conversation with myself in gTalk.
