Google+ invites here

Well I managed to get over 120 people in, so that was a success. Google have now taken my invite button away, so no more invites, I'm afraid.
Sorry to shout, but I've started to get pm's now asking for invites.

Okay, I've edited the 1st post cos I realised it will just disappear if there's no posts on it and I want to invite as many people as possible. Google+ is looking VERY good at the moment and the more people we can get in the better!

Thanks that was quick

You're welcome mate
Not many people taking up the offer, so it's easy to keep track of, and everyone seems to be getting in straight away as well. Win!

Thanks for the quick invite, but I just get a button that says "Learn more about Google+" and when clicked takes you to screen that tells you it is in limited Beta and offers to keep you posted. So are invites closed already or am I missing something?

thanks, just input my email address and was invited. But how to use g+?

My invitation had a link that said something like "View or comment on post »" and I used that to sign up.
If that's not working then just keep the email and try every now and then, but they were definitely accepting invites very recently.

I'm sure I don't need to tell you to google for info on how to use google+
There's not much to it, once you get going.

Just applied Thanks in advance!
[edit]
Got the invite, thank you very much! But:
Google+ is in limited Field Trial
At the moment, we're testing with a small number of people, but it won't be long before the Google+ project is ready for everyone. Leave us your email address and we'll make sure that you're the first to know when we're ready to invite more people.

So you can't get in when you use that link then?

Exactly! Only thing I can click on is "Keep me posted"

I guess they must have their own criteria as to who gets in then, unless you just keep trying. Most of the people I invite are getting in straight away.
If I could help, I would.

I saw somewhere that there's a workaround for Google+ invites not working; I can't confirm this or anything, obviously... anyway, I think the article said that if you share something with a friend (i.e. you put in their e-mail address to share it), then it'll send out an e-mail to the thing you shared (like a post on your "wall" or whatever it's called), and then you can sign up. Just speculation, dunno if it works or not ^^
And yeah, I used my gmail account.

That's a very good point. Most of the people that are posting their email addresses to the spreadsheet are using gmail or googlemail addresses. There's only a few that haven't so maybe that's a deciding factor. I suppose it would make some sense, while it's still in beta.
Edit: Just saw Breece's post above. This obviously isn't the case.

Google+ Question

Somebody I don't know said a bunch of crap about me publically on Google+, and tagged me in the posts. I know I can't untag myself from them, but unless they actually visit this guy's page, will followers of me on Google+ see these tagged posts?

It depends on who he posted them to. You can select to make anything you post totally public. Post a link and I'll see if I can see it for you.
Other than that, Google must surely give you a way of untagging yourself for this very reason. Get in touch with them and ask the question.

The post was totally public, and he has no connection to me through anyone following me.

I'm just curious if anybody following me can see it on their stream or anything.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App

Well, I have another Gmail account and I made a Google+ account there, followed myself with the original account, and the other account. I don't see that post on the new account following the one with the tagged posts. So I should be good, right?

It sounds like it. TBH, I doubt many people can say for sure as Google+ is so different to the Facebook that we're used to.
I think you've done the best thing you can to test it.

K good. So nobody else can see it unless they go to the guy's page. Which wouldn't happen because he lives 4000 miles away and has no connection to me. But there HAS to be a way to untag myself, but I've been looking for hours on this and all I'm seeing is untagging pics.

Like I said earlier, the only thing I can think of is to ask Google. You can't be the 1st person that's needed to do this.

They don't really have a support email I can contact for this type of thing. I sent feedback and posted something on their forums. I'm just worried about somebody seeing this crap. I muted the post, that's about as far as I can go.
But, you said you didn't see anything...

I know it's probably a longshot, but you could try asking the guy to remove it. If he does then great. If he doesn't then you're no different than you are now.

Yeah I did, he hasn't replied yet. Judging by his past posts, he'll probably screenshot the message I sent him and post that too.

He sounds a right arse. I reckon you're safe, unless he's purposely added any of your friends to his circles.

[App] Parchi - Microsoft Quick notes & lists, even from lock screen

So coming from a Note 4 one of the biggest items I use a lot is note taking from the lock screen. It seems that google thinks it's incompatible with all my phones and a standard search in the market doesn't bring it up so I though I would share. It syncs with your Microsoft account so you have backup and restore abilities. It's an app that made my transition from the Note 4 to the 6P that much easier.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.microsoft.bites&hl=en
I added the apk of the latest version so you don't have to go searching.

Have you ever used Google keeps

Unless i'm missing something, you cant have Google Keep on the lock screen.

Calendar
Any chance to add features,
1) add or edit event to calendar
2) read and reply email
from lock screen?

Thanks for this!! I just tried it out and its amazing! It totally kills Google Keep! I wish Microsoft would put in the US Google Store. Not sure why they haven't unless it's a licensing issue

Any chance for the newest version? Play store shows it's a real app but still won't let me download on any device I own.

Sorry... why are you asking for these in this thread? Parchi's a Microsoft App, not the OP's creation. You're better off asking through their official Google+ account/community page than here.

I never used 3rd party apps, never setted up 3rd party apps just the stocks. My phone is on stock, too.
Interesting, that the 4 digit is realy my last digits of my phone number.
I installed Malwarebytes to my SM-G950F and after a full scan the result: Android/Trojan.Svpeng.rn in executed app "START". I don't know that this is a stock app or not but I know this was not installed by me.
After the removing process from the main locked screen I have lost the 3 round bubbles during the unlocking method.
Has ever somebody seen something mail as the citated?
Somebody has some ideas what to do? (I will not pay for nothing, I know the ransomware method.)
Could it be that I have this scam via once-used open WiFi connection without my know?
Thank you for your help.
Very best regards,

same here! I need help please!!!

Hello,
A wrote to the Gmail Help Forum, and they send me this answer:
They may have picked it up from some other hacked site. There's been a trend of spam sent out that includes people's password. It's from hacking some other site and getting the unencrypted registration information, then sending out scams to all those addresses. It's a bit freaky when you get one of those.
If course if you're concerned about your account (and who shouldn't be), you should review all your account security and recovery settings: http://gmailaccountrecovery.blogspot.com/#security (scroll down to: When you reclaim Your Account).
