Not sure if someone started a thread here yet but it looks like Google Drive is online.
https://drive.google.com
Here is the Play Store link to download the app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5nb29nbGUuYW5kcm9pZC5hcHBzLmRvY3MiXQ..
I guess they replaced Google Docs with Google Drive on Android... Its not a whole lot different than Docs was so far, except the widget is gray and not blue.

I just downloaded everything and it seems pretty much the same as Dropbox but instead of the 3Gb I have with Dropbox, you get 5Gb with Drive! I think I'll use both for a free 8Gb lol

Nope. Carry on!
Unfortunately I am the entire IT department at the moment and really have no minions to "manage"... but "IT Manager" has a more professional sound to it than my other title, which is apparently "The Computer Guy" or "The Phone Guy" to most of the people in the office...

Those nicknames sound about right, and remember, computers are suppose to magically work. There is no back end servers that manage everything, it just works.
My drive isn't available yet. The funny thing is that I was interviewing with Dropbox a few weeks ago when this was rumored. During the second interview they asked "what feature do you think could completely revolutionize Dropbox?" my answer was the ability to store media and stream it to your devices, they said it was a good idea but would probably create problems with the DMCA/MPAA/RIAA/any other four letter asshole groups or laws. I just saw on G+ today that someone mentioned this was a feature and when I asked them about it they confirmed it worked!
I have a feeling that once this matures, Dropbox is going to lose a fair amount of users.
Have you guys seen the verge article? Basically, they could possibly use, modify, and profit from what you store in the gdrive. I went ahead and downloaded it, and it works pretty well. Just waiting to see how Google responds to the complaints. I dig google, and all the stuff the put out. Just sayin.

Not nearly as bad as the headlines we are seeing.

"As it turns out, the company claims no ownership—it says so right in the terms of service, and a comparison between Google Drive's terms and that of other storage services turns up few material differences, except for a couple of questionable terms that may land your content in Google's promotional materials."
Just got mine activated today, it's neat, but nothing mind-blowing yet. The only thing that is awesome right now is if you upload a video to your drive you can watch it on a mobile device.

There's a little trick to "forcing" activation. If you have 2 google accounts on your phone, download the app and keep switching between accounts in the app and it will activate. Did it yesterday and it worked. I now have 2 active accounts 10 minutes after signup.
not really liking drive though..or the app I should say. Lacks image thumbnails and can't create folders. To view an image it takes time to open where dropbox is almost instant and you can swipe to next pic just like in gallery. IMO, dropbox is still the winner. But I'm sure its only time till those issues are addressed.

Ya I just did a google search for Skyfire Beta Code and guess what? Code easily found. Thanks for the tips to search there!
WHY is anyone using skyfire? It's a portal site that simply reformats to fit your screen. Sure, it's "free" now, until the beta ends.

I love it... I don't normally use it, but I love being able to. Some sites are much easier to use with it. Not to mention that there are a few flash sites that I like to load on it (for the audio).
Would I pay for it? probably not.... at least, not much. But I have no problems using it while its still free.

Lol, what i'm getting from this is that it is an application that if you send a text message to that phone it will bring up the phones settings?
What is the use of that?
It's a banned application via Google Market. Here's a snippet from an article in regards about it. To learn more, Google "SMS Replicator"
Google has removed a controversial Android Market application that enables users to secretly spy on text messages sent via someone else's smartphone. Google initially approved DLP Mobile's Secret SMS Replicator for download via the Android storefront, but removed the application about 18 hours later--the app automatically creates blind carbon copies of incoming text messages and forwards them to a selected number, effectively enabling jealous lovers, uptight parents and diabolical colleagues to secretly download the software to their unwitting victim's smartphone and then keep tabs on their personal communications.

If it was marketed as 'free' on the market then I don't think it'd be classified as warez but after googling. It looks like its available here: http://www.mobihand.com/product.asp?id=122189&n=Secret-SMS-Replicator -- kind of fishy to be wanting to get this app and install it on someone's phone. Wouldn't see why anybody would want this unless they were paranoid. But yeah, I guess it would be considered as warez since its being sold as of right now.

All kidding aside, this is hands-down one of the biggest invasions of privacy ive ever seen in the cell phone world. i mean if youre gonna spy, at least have the balls to try and go through her phone while shes sleeping, even the playing field so she at least has a chance to catch you doing it. this is downright stalker-status
Thread closed. The app is warez and quite frankly a potential risk for people.
This may be a bone head old news post, but it's something I just noticed. I usually check for the free amazon app on my phone each morning but forgot to this morning so I checked online. This is when I noticed a "Test Drive" button as pictured below. I havn't had a chance to play with it yet, but wondering if others have and if, in fact, this is nothing new and I just failed to notice.
Nothing new. .. But still good for those that dont want to install the app before hand and see how it is

yea i think it's only certain apps, usually useless stuff like games.
I am confused. Where is Facebook, Google+, Gmail, google voice, 3rd party messengers, Tinder, full navigation, youtube...etc? Shouldn't I be able to fully respond to messages on most apps but the apps arent even available in store. Can't log into a business wifi network that has welcome screen. All the apps in the samsung store are pointless except for maybe 10. I'm really lost here. WHat am I suppose to do with this $400 watch? lmao Its on my wrist right now and I'm like uh........ Maybe this was just for Marathon runners? lol
yea they're lacking on the software department. if they don't get enough companies to jump on board to their custom OS it's going to fail
Probably should have browsed the gear 2 area before jumping into this one as it's the same device but with cell radios. Same complaints for the last year. Lol
Yes same thought here I can't this this lasting tizen is dead already not enough devs signed up for development Samsung just trying to get a slice of the pie give it six months it will join the rest of the dead end gear lol in the back of my drawer

by then people will have another verison to complain about. Well at least we didn't by the Tizen only phone
Again. Expectations are just through the roof with not even a week old device. Should always research first before jumping right in.

Google Now gives me updates on weather and when to leave for appointments and how long it's going to take. I like that. It's Tizen and Samsung not Google, so I never expected Google Now. Hangouts is the only app I'd really like to see added over text messages.
My big beef is that I can't reply to emails send emails or even create tasks with s-voice. Those few things will make me happy but they need to happen soon.

Or how about just having wifi that’s included on the app? I understand every app is not going to make every user happy. I was just giving examples. I have a 2 inch screen on my risk.... Thought it was going to do something. Not necessarily make me fly but just common task. Maybe respond to emails or hangouts? Am I reaching to far? Full GPS car navigation? Am I still reaching to far? Google VOice app so all calls show same number as my phone? I'm just barley touching my toes.. Hope I'm still not reaching too far.
Google does not allow Google apps on non Google certified mobile devices and certainly not on other OSes other than iOS ... and we know why that is. End of story.
If you need Google apps on a watch this device is not for you. See how Android Wear works for you.
I generally have the tendency to swear at my voice assistants. I just attempted to tell Bixby 'F you' though, I pronounced it like a real person and not a Mormon. She heard that as 'suck you' and responded with;

Has anyone gotten the thing to work where if bixby misunderstands a command, you can teach it what you actually said? I've been trying to get that to work, teaching it the same word (a contact name it keeps misspelling and then telling me that contact doesn't exist) over 30 times now and it still hasn't changed how it hears me.
unfortunately working with Samsung about this issue they have confirmed that bixby is not integrated to have the profanity block removed at this time, unlike google now or google keyboard.
My issue isnt necessarily swearing at bixby but having her type in my message the way i am saying it, sometimes you just need to tell someone to hurry the F up.
