Ingress is a new augmented reality game by Google.
Has anyone got an invite code?
Here is a review on it if you haven't heard of it.

Here is where to request an invite.
http://www.ingress.com/
I finally got an invite from google, and I have no clue what I'm doing. lol
I've been playing the last few days and I'm kind of hooked. I chose Enlightened, but we're outnumbered by a lot right now.
You basically gather XM (little glowing dots on your map) by walking near them. They are your power/life that you need to do anything.
You look for Portals around you, you can find them on a map at www.ingress.com/intel. Notice that as you zoom in and out, it shows various levels of Portals. Unclaimed Portals are, well, unclaimed, then Portals can be captured and modified to level up from level 1-8.
You get within 40m of a Portal to hack it, which then gives you random items. You can do this 1 to about 5 times or so before the Portal gets hot and goes on cooldown for 5 minutes.
You'll get Resonators from hacking Portals. You use the Resonators on Portals and once you have 8 Resonators on a Portal, the Portal is online and can be linked to other Portals. The higher level the Resonators attached to a Portal, the greater the range that you can link to other Portals. You also have to get a Portal Key from a Portal before you can link it to another Portal.
The main objective is to link Portals together to create a "Mind field", a triangulated canvas over an area. You get Mind Units based on the number of people (estimated by Google I guess) in a covered triangle area.
The opposing faction can still hack enemy Portals to get items, and they can use XMP's that they pick up to create a radius pulse around them to try and destroy enemy Resonators so that they can capture them.
I have about 10 Portals right by where I work, so I go a few times a day and walk around to hack all of the portals. I had most of them linked up this morning and was going well. Unfortunately, while I was sitting inside work, 4 (I assume they're college students that don't have school right now) Resistance members came in and destroyed all of my portals and took them over for the Resistance.
Bummer.
Teamwork really pays off because you can only upgrade Portal Resonators to a certain extent by yourself, then they benefit from up to 8 different people contributing.
How long did it take you to get your invite? Your description sounds even better than what I read before. I requested an invite a few days ago and haven't heard anything.

I think I signed up on the 17th and got an invite on the 18th. I'm pretty sure I just got lucky and signed up right before a wave of invites. I signed my wife and a buddy up on the 19th and they're still waiting for their invites.
---------- Post added at 07:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------
I must add, us Note 2 users are SOOOO lucky playing this game. You have to have the screen on the entire time to collect XM and to do anything in the game, as well as an active GPS signal. I can't imagine ever being able to do this on my Skyrocket for more than 30 minutes before it would go dead. The Note 2 battery is a champ. If I'm travelling between destinations then I'll plug in to my car charger, but otherwise I walk around this big park area that has about 10 Portals and I can walk the park for an hour or more and not worry about my battery.
I'm in & it took me a few days after I asked for one.
Got my invite a few days ago, decided to try and work on a non root inspired theme for my note II and Optimus G

I don't think any players have invites. I know I don't have any and haven't from the beginning. From what I see it may come out of beta on 11/30. Otherwise, you have to sign up for an invite at ingress.com

Re: invites
I've heard that you can invite somebody if you earn such a privelege. It's named Recruit. Probably for hacking portals or something else.
Still waiting for an invite. If somebody has one, share with me pls! Wanna join the Resistance!

Looking to get involved in this game, I drive all over southern california 50+ hours a week, so if anyone is looking for a recruit I'd glady accept an invite and allie up.
Just got an invite 2 weeks ago. Haven't had much time to get into it yet but if there's anyone out there in the NYC area [Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn mostly] let me know. I love to see what it's like playing as a group.

Well from the looks of it the game has been going on since January 1st if I'm not mistaken (or a different chapter in the game?).
I got my invite on December 31 but didn't install it until a couple days ago.

Issues with the Nexus and Ingress? I hardly think so. Nexus is stock Android, all Android apps should work on it no problem.
Re: Extra Ingress invite
I'll give it to the first person (in the central Florida area) that can explain the difference between the Resistance and the Enlightened.

The resistance want the "old world order"/keep it like it is. And the Enlightened want to study and use the XM.
PS: Not now in central Florida but like i said, I'll move on 20th march.

This is not really the right place to put this but because we don't really have a off topic forum I thought what the hell. I'm a member of a lot of forums and XDA is my favorite so I thought I would give one person a little gift. This is a code for the Xbox 360 to download Lego Star Wars 3. This download code is a 1 time use only, so the first person to get it is the only person who gets it... I also have 2, 12 month codes for Xbox Live Gold, my gold subscription is paid off until 2016 so I'm going to give those codes away as well as long as a mod does not care. If you're not a Star Wars fan or a Lego fan please save the code for somebody who is, don't just take the code and download the game just so you have it.
Good Luck!
P. S if a mod could p.m. me and let me know if it's cool to post the 2, 12 month subscription codes for Xbox Live, or if you have an idea of a contest to give the codes away that would be great...

Id take a 12 month code for xbox
I don't really wanna be the one who picks who get the 12 month codes. So im going to wait a day or two to see if a mod has an idea fro a way to hand them out. If u don't hear back from a mod then I'll just randomly post them.

From my experience and from what i have read the terms of use for in app purchases often dictate that the purchaser must be 13 or older or something along those lines so legally if someone under that age buys it they must refund it

Thanks man. I went to kiloo.com but I didn't even find any information on terms and usage. I am waiting for a reply tho.
I'm sure they are held to a minimum age requirement...but it almost always comes down to the company, and the staff.

Yeah but how would they know if the purchaser is of legal age? Many could just claim this and get refund.
Good news guys. .. They said they would refund me. . It was like $260 .. I didn't put this up front to avoid the drama lol as I wanted solid advice. . There were no debate as I think the amount of money I spent helped me get my money back easily. .. Money should show up in a week.

I've seen this situation occur on every Galaxy device I've ever owned. Vibrant, S2, different carriers, now ths Note.
I recommend when you want to donate money to a developer, ask them directly for their donation preference. Or you'll end up in a thread like this where the guy who was supposed to be in charge doesnt even know where people's money magically went.
Not accusing anyone, just stating the facts.
I remember this 12 year old kid hustling thousands out of people when the S2 came out, he used multiple accounts to "talk up" other accounts that were wannabe developers for false hope donations.
Kinda just comical at this point.
Seeing how the other Developer in these forums received his Donated Note 8.0 with no problem I highly doubt there will be an issue here.
That said, I would think it would be better to just donate to the Dev himself and let him order it. E-Bay ships all over.
Want baked? I'm considering one of these or the Sony Tablet Z, a donation could go along way towards my decision!
