I think given the lack of rumours at this point IO is going to be dissapointing with no exciting news.
And the reason Rubin got bumped was he oversaw the worlds most contagious narcolepsy epidemic within the android offices.

Well I actually went ahead with the factory reset and it worked. I just received a couple of texts.
Got a pretty old phone 'X10 Mini Pro' which still runs 2.1 Eclair and now I got a different problem. Well, it's not really a problem just something that annoys me.
I backed up the apps I had and after the reset it automatically redownloaded the apps from the Market. Except for 1, which happened to be my most used app and now the Play Store says it's not compatible with my phone. Apparently I suddenly need to have at least Froyo. WHAT THE FUCK. It's the 'Sportacular' app by Yahoo, btw.
Tried to get a random apk from the web but my file explorer couldn't 'parse' it. I NEED that app.
In which we talk about concept renders with TouchWiz:

looks really nice... Better than Galaxy S4! Is it coming on ATT? Also when is this releasing?
It's great seeing these kinds of updates. Whatsapp's update was pretty good as well. Now if only Kakao Talk and LINE followed suit...
never.

Sounds like you need to add getting a newer phone to your list of things to do this year!

you mean smartphone activations.
a virtual number is another number. another thing for everyone else to deal with.

Ha yea. It does look like I'm going to have to upgrade.
If/When I'm going to get one, I'd really like it to have a slideout keyboard like mine has now.
I remember asking this question here several months ago, if there are some good/decent phones out there with a slideout keyboard. Doesn't have to be an amazing phone, just a good upgrade from my old 2.1.
the number can be transparent to the user... there is nothing for them to deal with, its just part of their account.

i would need to see a flowchart of how this would be transparent to the user and also not fuck things up in one of various ways.
flowcharts are for implementers. I only throw out ideas. I will use "magic" in a place where i have no idea.
G+ account gets tied to number 111-111-1111 -> If sender sending to non "Hangouts" user -> SMS forwarded through Google, sender # changed to phone number -> Gets SMS from user
User replies -> SMS message received in app
Google just has to spoof outbound SMS messages to show from standard phone number. This is the "magic". I'm assuming its possible, but may not be legal
Goes without saying. I'm sorry, I thought it was in the Android thread, not the Kyocera thread.

Isn't the only problem with iMessage that it doesn't (didn't?) detect when a person switched back to SMS on a non-iPhone device? That seems like it would be very easy to fix for Google. Why do they need to build a different system from Apple's?

i wonder what % of Android phone sales in the US have the play store... it's gotta be pretty close to 100%
bolded is the monkey wrench.
They both require "with" but I prefer Hangout anyway.

Just installed 4.1.2 on my gf's Sola (yes it's a disaster phone I know, but she was insistent even though I pushed the GS3 mini and Xperia P). Man I have no idea why Sony couldn't push this exact update officially, sure there are a couple of bugs initially but after installing the community made patches it runs like a brand new phone. Smooth, fast, all the features work, hell even the camera takes better pictures!
Seriously bad form from Sony not to release an official 4.1.2 update for U/Sola even though it's blatantly obvious that both phones can run it without any issues and it makes the phones a million times better. If they did it to push people on these devices onto 2013 phones then I will be very annoyed with them because it definitely can't be performance related after using a community ported 4.1.2 release on a Sola.

Agreed. I'm not giving up yet. I expect sms.
I'm going to just say, "Message me on Google".
Depending on what that person needs to be able to do that, assuming they can add me via Gmail (email), Phone #, or already in my Google+ circles.
I'd usually just tell someone to flat out message me, then it's up to them how. I mean, I've already got almost every single messaging platform out there installed so why the fuck not
I think of "text" as more natural as it's like sending a package to someone. It's more flexible because it's more linguistically modifiable, so it's easier to incorporate into natural language. Texted/texts/text. I don't think "hangout" has that same benefit. If it's ever going to make its way into conversational use, it needs to have the potential to be slanged to some degree.

That's what you gotta do throw some slang on it like a true g. Makes everything sound better.
Even if I did, how is an Arrested Development gif related to pop-gaf?
I think I/O is going to be great this year.
