I popped into one Hangout today, to see what I could see…if anything, concerning the new layout and features. The one I joined, however, did not show them.

Just figured out how to enable all the new features:

You must click on Try Hangouts with extras, as circled in the screen shot below, to get them to kick in.

Alright, y’all…

Alright, y’all…

I’m rooting I’VE ROOTED my Android 2.2 phone using GingerBreak so I can upgrade to 2.3 in order to not only enjoy the latest G+ mobile app updates, but so I can do other things I like on apps that require rooting (easier tethering, screen capturing from my phone, etc.).

Anyhew… I was wondering if anyone can tell me if it’s safe to move Clockwork Rom Manager to my SD card?

Thanks 🙂

So everyone is chattering away about the new Hangout experiences, but more importantly, the mobile updates we’ve all been waiting for (Android only, sorry iOS peeps) have arrived… am updating my app through the Market now… so we shall see how it all goes!

Check it:

– Join Hangouts from the mobile app (duh…no one can shut up about this one yet)

– Set profile photo

– Huddle is now Messenger

– Send photos in Messenger

– Long press on post to +1, share and mute (this, I like)

– Improved video posts support

(does this mean YT links will now embed if I post them via mobile?)

– Improved public search for people

– Granular push notification settings (AWESOME!)

– Move app to your SD card (I ask for this from any app)

– Various bug and performance improvements

– Post and participate in a Messenger convos via SMS (U.S.)

– Improved +mention support (YESS!)

Just FYI You must update your G+ app through the Android Market to see the changes.

“Huddle” is now “Messenger”? LOL. Kinda reeks of AIM or AOL…IMHO

I’m quite certain I do not like the way they moved the filmstrip (that’s what Google calls the row of video camera images of all the participants in Hangout) to the side, and vertically.

Now I must get back to work…unlike everyone else in the G+osphere, I’ve got stuff to do that’s not related to Hangin’ 😛

Mobile Hangouts, Hangouts On Air, and Hangouts with extras (screensharing, Sketchpad, Google Docs, Named Hangouts).

If you haven’t been in a Google+ Hangout yet, you’re already missing out on the experience, but now maybe you’d might want to give it a try?

Also released today

– Hangout APIs – for the geek in all of us

(Mohamed Mansour, I’m looking at YOOOOO, LOL)

– Google Search in G+

– … oh, and now everyone (and I mean, EVERYONE) can join the network. LOOKOUT!
