What about the idea of forming groups to give XDA members a heads-up on release? - Nexus 5 General

Not sure if this is a good idea but you guy's can let me know.
1) Given that we have no idea when this phone will release and even if Google announces a date we would still not know exactly what time.
2) And the fact we may have a short window (15 minutes or so) for purchasing the phone before it goes out of stock.
Would you guy's like to join up in groups (say 5 people or so per group) exchange cell #'s through PM's and when the phone launches the first person in a group who notices texts the other members to give them a heads-up?
I would hate after waiting all this time to miss the launch by 15-30 minutes and get stuck waiting weeks for a restock.

I wrote a python application similar to this one of the Nexus 4 release:
pastebin.com/Ep1JSUTy
It will notify me if something seems to be available.

Why not just make a big ole' Google Hangout?

In for a google hangout if someone wants to organize one.

Yes. It was absolutely terrible. Google's servers were incredibly laggy and you had to be very lucky to get one. I managed to snag 2 of them, but one got held up for like a month.

It's kind of a chat, but if you check it then you will definitely know when the Nexus 5 is live cuz I'm sure everyone will post about it. We already have about 25 people in it.

I can just check here too if I wanted to. But checking hangouts will not work if I am sleeping till 11 and the phone is released at 9. At least someone can wake me up via text.

Well my BlackBerry was my first smartphone and BBM was more used than actual text messages... I doubt it will be like that now because now everyone won't have it. But I am still way excited to see this and how it develops. I don't see how you can not be excited especially being an ex-BlackBerry user!

Ok cool. So why do this need to be on android?
If this has all of the security built into it like when it's on an actual Blackberry then some corporate IT departments may let their employees use an android phone to receive corporate messaging. The company I work for is owned by a major defense contractor and has prohibited the use of android phones for corporate use. They must be Apple fan boys since they still allow the Iphone. I chose to not receive corporate mail on my phone and use a webmail client instead to bypass IT.
Tried searching online all last night and today and still can't find the leaked APK yet... anyone else?!

They have a forum as well, I would poke around there too http://touchsquid.info/forum/index.php
I too have been wondering about a universal remote app for the One. I'm surprised there hasn't been more discussion about this on XDA. (There probably has, I don't check terribly often.)
Anyway, I found this but it doesn't look very promising.
Here's another one I'd be willing to try, although the UI could probably use some work in my opinion.
I agree, they need to have trial versions so I don't have to spend money for something that doesn't work. Or maybe ad-supported versions. As IR blasters become more common in devices, the more choices we will see.
Perhaps I might begin work on an app, although it will probably be a major pain in the @$$. Luckily I know some people who will be willing to help.
I'll post a link to one that works great on the one. It was in the play store but now I think it went open source

So apparently you don't understand that:
The SDK isn't finished and Google is slow about it (Android Studio is still alpha quality).
There are more content providers on the way
That people who buy Android/ChromeOS devices that come to XDA do spend money on what you refer to as vague assurances (hence XDA exists).
So I really don't think it is me who does not understand here. Feel free to be a negative Nancy to drive away future Chromecast owners (or even current ones) due to your lack of understanding the issue though.

Normally I'd agree with your point, but here I think this thread has value - if perhaps for only a limited time. I've been reading the other thread religiously, but it -- like many threads lately, has become (understandably) heavily involved with operation on "L". It also branches off on many (valid) tangents on the subject - which is absolutely the point of the thread. However, easily lost in all that is this one simple tip that seems to resolve the one key, basic problem for those of us on KK who have the update & who are otherwise fully compliant and increasingly frustrated -- this gets it to work. So, for the sake of clarity & simplicity, I feel this is a perfectly reasonable & extremely valuable topic for the week or two... or three in which some number of us will be endlessly checking to see if we've finally had the feature flipped on. At the very least, the clarity of the thread title alerts members that some of us may actually need to "Force" it to work.
In other cases I'm not nearly so keen on breaking down subjects to such a granular level.

That I kinda doubt. There was great flexibility in 4.4, but an early update (either KK or Search, can't recall which) cut us back to just OK Google. I suppose they wanted to limit chances of accidental triggers. With hotword everywhere I'd think they have even more of an incentive to keep this limitation in place. Ah well, it's no big deal but I can't help felling just a bit goofy reciting that script. :silly:
Nope no dice :crying:

I did this on both my n5 and n4 earlier today(this morn), and only audio history and manage audio history shows up, not the other options. funny thing is, I did my coworkers phone as well, and all the options showed up for his phone

Are all devices on US English? Though hotword had been working on UK English for me I lose the new "Everywhere" feature if I switch away from US.

mine are. but its not country centered, and even read it'll work on 9 languages so far. but for me, the trick didn't work. probably because google didn't enable my account yet.

Lousy 'trick' will only work on after the device is actually enabled. As to country-centred that's why I expected it to still work on UK English. I had only changed to US English out of frustration as I was waiting & waiting for the feature to kick in. I'm not actually in the UK, but I do prefer her speaking voice.
This kind of messed up my voice search. It recognized "ok google" to open up the search but nothing else. I had to delete Search data to get it working properly again. =\

Try Settings > Language and input > Voice Search
Then see if the settings come up.

OT: Google Inbox

Has anyone been able to try Inbox on the X? I'm really interested to see what the experience will be like.
I like it but a bit confusing.

I like it too. It took a couple days to get the hang of and to put the right @domain.com in the right bundles, but now that I have it all organized the way that I want, it is really really convenient. I just took the time to go through all my old messages and "Done" the ones that I want to keep access to, and "Trash"ed all the old crap that I won't need again. But again, I do really enjoy the bundles even though it took a little while to get them all organized the way that I want.
It's really intuitive if you don't use many custom labels/filters. The default labels like travel, finance, promos, social, etc. are available automatically - quite like the Gmail app. I think it can replace the Gmail app for most users. The UI is a lot neater (the new Gmail update with Material Design brings it closer to Inbox). You can test the app yourselves in a few days - shouldn't be too long before it gets out of the invite-only stage.
Can anyone pm me an invite? I've been wanting to give it a go. I put in my "official" request, but have yet gotten a response.

I would be also grateful for an invite. I remember giving away my Gmail invites back in the day.
