I just started using it (US). It seems pretty cool.
Android and iPhone apps are now up in the respective markets.

I used a proxy and signed up. But dont see the point, since the free account only lets you sync music from your PC. To listen to the streaming service, you need the 10 dollar per month package.

Well here in sweden i'm been using this service for over a year. And it is (by far)the best i've ever used. Sure they don't have every single artist, but there is so many I don't really feel the need for more.

I like it on my but $10 is a bit much for mobile streaming.

After all, $ 10 is too high a price. Available only 15 million songs. You can listen anywhere, anytime and can listen many different devices (mobile, pc etc.) I would rather buy the $ 10 album containing 12 tracks... No. no no .. I should have to think first what to say.
American network operators the pricing and quality is ****ed up. But many believe it is a lesser evil than $ 10 per month.

Spotify will not stay online
Anyone else having trouble on the Transformer? My dell streak will work ok, but the transformer keeps dumping to offline even though wifi is fine and all other apps are staying connected.

Known bug in Spotify on Honeycomb. Solution is easy but harsh: never make playlists offline available.
As long as you stream everything - you're okay. If you make a playlist offline available, it'll sync the first time and after that it'll keep saying it's disconnected.
And it's definitely worth the 10 bucks, I've been paying it for months and months (in Europe) and it saved me a ****load of money or time. If I had to buy all the music I've listened from Spotify, I'd had to sell my TF to pay the bills. Maybe even twice...
If your musictaste is pretty "conservative", not always looking for new stuff and getting addicted to it - it might indeed not be worth the money.

It's totaly worth it to have a paid subscription, i pay for premium
I use spotify all the time (at home, party's, cell phone etc)
The majority of the music i listen to is on spotify and i don't listen to comecial radio music

Deleting my offline content worked. How long has this been a known issue? I hope it is on a priority fix list.
I can have local content offline though without the bug happening.

Man, I totally want to try this. On Rdio right now. Can someone hit me up with an invitation?

After using the desktop(MAC) client i really like the service. It makes me really want to get the premium app. Question does the android app stream my music on my computer to my android or does it simply sync it to my android?

The android client works like the PC client

I still can't get it work. Every time I choose a song, I get an info bar with no info and an OK box to click. It reads my TF on my network, but it won't stream any music. I had no online playlists (I deleted everything just to make sure).
It works well on my PC--a lot of great music that seems to stream more quickly than Google Music.

Has anyone tried "Tablet talk" SMS app?

I just stumbled on an app called "Tablet Talk" and I love it so far...
I've been looking for something to use to send and received SMS from my TF and this app seems to fill the bill nicely.
It's fast; just as fast as sending messages on my phone itself. The interface is nice, and connnecting is a breeze...
Just letting everyone know in case they are in the market for an app like this.

yes great app. the dev is here also

I use it all the time. It has really been getting a workout since football season started. My son lives across the country and we have been wearing out the airwaves discussing the talent or lack thereof!
I particularly like it's ability to connect both via Bluetooth and Wireless.

Does this use Push for syncing messages?
I'm currently using SyncSMS, which does the job at a bare minimum of whats acceptable. Currently it does not support Push, and relies on preset sync-intervals or manual. Also, even tho it claims to use ~400kb storage, it hugs an entire 38mb (!!!). Quite critical on my quite crappy x8 phone.
If this is in any way smaller, and use Push, I'm all over it.
Edit: Gave it a quick spin (15 minutes refund policy.....). Seemed to be running constantly with icon in status bar (no Push?). Relied on IP address to connect, making it tedious to connect when changing WiFi networks. Shame I did not get a proper chance to see if having this app running 24/7 had any major impact on battery life. Un-installed/refunded for now.

Which is great when you want someone to use two different numbers to txt you through.
I kinda keep my cell and text separate from my GV account, so this app may be what I need.

Yes GV is great but that's beside the point of this thread

I bought the app Tablet talk and am loving it. Simple, easy, and so far not a single issue. It was well worth the $2.99 I paid for it. I probably would have paid up to $4.99 for it above that I would have gone with one of the other offerings.
I leave my tablet and SGS III connected via blue tooth and leave the wifi just for internet usage. The small size of the app is really a good thing as well, since I only have the 16GB edition.
I would highly recommend the app to anyone looking to send SMS from their tablet, using their current phone number. For me it keeps confusion down with my contacts.

Yeah, I use Tablet Talk a little.. ahem.. I have over 6000 text messages in the messaging thread to my Fiancée.. And I use it ALL the time. When I have to use my phone to send a text I start to get the hives. It is by far the app that I use the most on my tablet. I have kind of a low self esteem and she is a HOT Russian (previous model / previous gymnast) and I need to make sure she thinks about me every 5 minutes or so..BRB.... Yeah.. she's still there. ahem.
Anyway.. Really is a great app. When there was an issue with MMS which I found right away after an update the dev responded right away and sent me code to fix it the next day and quickly updated it for everyone.
I of course just got her a TF700 for Christmas and I need to somehow get something that works with her Iphone now. It's too bad TT doesn't have an iphone client.. That of course would be the bomb.
Great app.

Yes, love it.

Very good app. You can sync messages through by connecting through bluetooth "less battery then wifi", if they are on the same wifi network "aka home", or if you are on your phones wifi hotspot "aka using your phone for mobile internet"
You can also sync all messages from your phone to your tablet so you arnt out of your conversation. You can sync anytime. Dark theme to save battery.
It is relly nice to text on from your number walking around your house while your phone is charging

I'm now too using tablet talk mine came with a phone dialer too for Bluetooth usage tho

Stolen Nexus S

In July 2011, my Nexus S was stolen. I went to the police but they said they probably couldn't recover the device. So I just kinda let it go.
Well, a few weeks ago I found out the the phone was still connected to my Market account. This provides a bit of a security concern because I've got my credit card on my market account too, but they haven't bought anything. Just for fun, I decided to download and install Plan B to the phone, and within a few hours, I got four emails of the phone's location within 15 meters. Well, I didn't have time to bring that to the police, and that was eleven days ago. So I have a few questions:
1. I want to be able to get a more recent location because I'm afraid the police will say the location is too many days old. I know you can text "locate" or whatever to the phone but it's not my number anymore. (I know this because on my market account it says it's an AT&T phone whereas I'm on T-Mobile.)
2. Is there any way at all to remote remove the app and re install it?
3. Is there another app similar to Plan B that I can do the same thing?
4. Is there anything else I can do?
-Matthew

That really sucks. I know Lookout had an option on their site to collect the location through the internet, no phone number required. Don’t know if it's 100% sure, but it's worth a shot. Really hope you get your phone back. Good luck!

You should be able to login to your Google voice account and see which number it now forwards to. Assuming you had it on the phone and they did set it up. If not you can just text to your Google voice number and it should go through.

I don't have Voice to forward to any phone. :/ Darnit!

Hang on. You used Plan B, you got the location of your missing phone... and then did NOTHING?

It was during a busy week. :/ Last week of school before break, billions of projects and tests. :s
I did talk to my dad about it (ex-cop) and he said they'd probably say it isn't enough to get a search warrant to get it or anything...

Google Play Music All Access - Streaming in the UK!

I just activated the free trial after following the instructions in the first post of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1757991
I did have to input a new payment method in Google Wallet, and even though there was only US based addresses it accepted my address (I used the Zip Code and phone number for the Empire State building!). I was fully expecting it to fail, but it works, and my gmail account now has the All Access trial attached to it.....

Anyone else had a go at this?

Tried it yesterday and giving it another go now. Struggling at the point when I click the free trial banner, it constantly takes me to my music library. No prompt for payment or even starting the trial. I managed to activate my account through a VPN a few months ago without any problems, but trying to get this pass is proving to be a right pain.

I did it via the web page, not on my phone.

I've been doing the same.
Changed my payment method's address (the zip code / state at least) to an American one but still no luck.

Just managed to do it. You have to edit an EXISTING card just by changing the address. Adding a new card with an American address didn't work.
Just change the address on any existing card you have, start the trial, and then change it back.

Is this not going to cause problems on the account when it officially launches in the UK? I've found that kind of thing before.

worked well for me!

Confirmed working here. Signed up through US VPN, Tesco's credit card, and Empire State Building zip code/tel no.
Peachy.
What do you think will happen if I leave it to run past the free trial. Will I get charged in US dollars? Might be cheaper than getting ripped off when it comes legit to the UK.

I'm not sure, but if they didn't do a full check including address when the payment method was set up, I don't think they will for such a small payment. I also think $7.99 (£5.25) will be considerably less than the UK subscription.

I guess that since I signed up using a US VPN, the transaction was conducted via a US website and hence not subject to UK fees. You know, a bit like taxes. I mean, if it's good enough for Google...

Worked for me. Nice one

I have a feeling I know why I can't get it working.
I still have a remaining £0.08 Google Play balance on my account (from the Nexus 7 promotion) and so I can't change my account's default location (in the settings menu on Wallet). I have followed everyone's steps rigorously and I still don't even get past the initial "Sign up" banner.
It's the only thing I can think of.

nice up~

Thanks!!
Just got this working i Denmark using your guide.
Now lets see how well it works.
I've read a couple of places, that they don't have all that much music yet, But i'll have to see for my self

I found this when I tried last week also. Managed to get mine to 0 but still no luck, the Wallet settings still claim you have a balance. Been talking to Google Support but not much help, if anyone can point me in a better direction I'd be grateful!

Just a quick question guys... will this then work on a mobile using cellular from the UK? Is it the account AA is attached to then it performs no futher geo-check?
Thanks

My family devices are all linked to my Google Music account. All our phones, Nexus 7s, laptops etc. are able to use it perfectly - 3G and wifi. I've had no problems at all - just hoping the payment goes through ok after the first month.

Cool thanks - wondering how this would work with an iPhone... does it work running on the mobile version of the site or is it limited to the Google app?

It runs through the desktop site and the app, as long as you have signed up to the subscription I can't see why it wouldn't work on the mobile website too.

Verizon Visual VM

Does anyone else get prompted to accept/decline visual voice mail EVERY single time you get a voice-mail? How many times must I decline?? I don't want to pay for this thing and I've never had it forced in my face so many times with other Verizon phones.

Oh, it asks me after I check my voicemail and delete whatever I had in there, too. Ridiculous.

Download Google Voice, set it up. This was you avoid Verizon voicemail completely, get the same features, and its free.

I honestly don't even care about the features (I've used GV before). I just need this prompt to not be coming up twice every single time I get a VM. Did you hit "accept"? I always hit reject (since I don't want to use it).

Don't know. I use Verizon VVM multiple times a day and it never prompts me.
Did you maybe freeze/debloat something?

Same here - no issues or constant reminders... I do pay for vvm however and like the service...

So you subscribe to the service then? I'd assume it wouldn't prompt you if you already have the service.

Premium visual voice mail is the only paid part..... You can get basic visual for free. And actually it's supposed to be used on all smartphones now. Cuts down on the calls on the cell site.
Personally I use google voice because I don't run out of space and get texts sent to me transcribed but I have been doing that for ten years about.
For people who don't want to go through the setup of gv visual is offered free for basic.
Easier to check anyway don't know why you wouldn't want it xD

I didn't realize there were two different ones - I thought it was always a paid service and kept declining for that reason.
Thank you for clarifying!
