Is it possible to be able to go the opposite way (Phone to Chrome)?
Open for discussion..
It would be interesting, but the logic would require some server service running on your desktop running chrome right?
Phone to Chrome would be great hope they can implement that feature in the future.
Search for android2cloud.
yup, android2cloud works great
Force closes for me

Does chrome to phone work on wildfire? Can't find the app on market :/
Yes, using it with Opera (OperaToPhone), which uses the ChromeToPhone app on the Droid, but you aren't lumbered with Google's browser on the PC side.

Google Chrome to Phone Extension is a project consisting of a Chrome Extension, Android App, and supporting AppEngine server that enables users to send links from their Chrome desktop browser to their Android device using Android's Cloud to Device Messaging service.
Features:
Send links to browser
Google Maps links launch the Google Maps app.
YouTube links launch the YouTube app.
Selecting phone numbers in Web pages, launches the dialer with the number pre-populated.
Selected text populates the Android clipboard (long-press on text boxes to get paste option).
Right click on links and selections.
Update (15th Sep 2010): Chrome to Phone 2.1 is now available on Chrome Extension Gallery and Android Market in multiple countries. If you had a pre-release version installed, please uninstall the old version first (otherwise you will get an error installing the new version).
Note: Android 2.2 required. Chrome to Phone is powered by the Android Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM) service, which requires Android 2.2 or later. Supports Chrome 6 and above.

So I was able to get DL17 working last night. Now I'm having an odd issue with FB. I'm attempting to update the factory FB, which is apparently around version 1.2. I attempted to update to the latest version (1.6.1) and it keeps crashing while loading. Everything downloads fine and says it successfully installs, but it keeps crashing.
What am I doing wrong?

The facebook official app really sucks, badly, each update keeps getting worse. i would recommend use friendscaster
yeah, you aren't doing anything wrong. it's 99% likely to be the app
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
if you have root i would suggest using titanium backup to delete your facebook and then update thru the market, my wife was having this issue
I have Friendcaster on my droid... I'm not completely sold on it, either. Although, the paid version might be better than the free one.
I was able to send her the apk for 1.6.0 (the latest is 1.6.1) and THAT apparently updated just fine. If she has any issues updating from now on, I may point her to Friendcaster.
I just use the mobile site

I did that on my old Blackberry, as the FB app for it bit. But, I like the options some of the apps vs. the mobile site. The problem I'm finding between the 3 is inconsistencies of what you can do. I know I used one to tag friends. I know the regular FB app, you can't add check-in places (you can with mobile site or Friendcaster). Seems odd that the 3 would be different.
Touch.facebook.com is better than the m.facebook.com in my opinion

I thought you were supposed to be able to, but I never saw the + to add one. It really wasn't a HUGE issue, but I was trying to add one for my house and my in-laws house. Had to use Friendcaster to do that.
Just start typing the name of the place you want to add and when Facebook can't find it, it will say "add [check in place]"

Ah. the other directions I found online were different. They are set now, but at least I know for the future.
The symptom is, each time I switch on my tablet, I receive a notification in lower right corner promoting something like lucky draw, game, etc. If I click on the notification, it automatically starts downloading apk. The apk is always named like yyyymmddxxxxxxxxxxx.apk. I never run those apks, I guess they are not friendly. How can I check which app I installed is doing this?

First check what you have installed recently. Could be one of those apps give spam notifications. I saw something similar on my bro-in-law phone and that was because he installed some kind of "enhancement" program to make his phone run more efficient (it didn't help bytheway).
Also, since you didn't say what OS you're running, 4.0+ has the option to disable notifications when you go to settings>applications>app name. If you find its an app you need, then that might help.
If you thinks its beyond this, then install lookout or norton from the market.
It's not malware, they're called push notification ads. Just download "Ad Blocker" (root required) from the market and it will tell you which app(s) is doing this. You can also choose to delete it from within the app.
Pretty handy.

yes it just push notification ad. The problem is I don't know which app is doing this, and do not want to root my device. Is there another way to identify ?

Try installing "Air Push Detector" from the market.
my tablet is using 4.0.4 but i cannot find the setting you mentioned. in settings-application-application name, there is no notification setting.
i tried but there is no app found. i still get notification ad.

Can you upload a screenshot of this notification ad for us? Maybe even a list of your downloaded apps?

I don't have it now, I will load it when I get it next time.
However I have the list of apps I installed because I sent it to the author of push detector. How can I send it to you? I just don't want to post it here.
I have another finding, which seems odd to me: I set the home page of chrome to be blank, and I double checked that, but each time I open the browser it always opens a search page with a lot of informations (looks like a portal but I don't like it). How can I know which app replaces my home page with such rubish?
Is it possible the 3G provider does this kind of things? (notification ads and home replacement)?

No, your network provider would have nothing to do with push notification ads or homepage replacement. And as for setting your homepage in Google chrome, are you talking about the desktop version? Because I don't believe you can make that selection on the mobile version, unless I'm missing something?
BTW, you can send that list to me in a PM if you'd like.

Try this app, it will tell you every app that has a shady ad network and you can delete it. A friend of mine had an app that was creating a ton of shortcuts all over her home screens.

In Chrome settings you can set your home page. But it seems it's the 3G provider that replaces the home page for me.
I will send you the app list. Thanks.

OK, so I've been using Google Messenger for ages now, and I have no idea how the Samsung messenger works. Right now, when I click a link in a text, it brings up an internal Samsung browser that opens the page. Is there any way I can disable it, and just open it in my default web browser (In this case, Firefox)?
Thanks in advance for the help.

you need to clear default data from Samsung Browser
next it will ask how to complete action (select Firefox)
:good:
Sorry, maybe I was unclear: Clicking the link isn't opening Samsung's browser itself, it's opening like an "in app" browser, which opens the web page. I then have to click "more" and select "Open in browser". I've never actually opened the Samsung browser, and it's not selected as a default for anything.

I actually hate textra. The only reason I'm using the stock app is for the RCS and the always on screen notifications. If I was going to move away from the stock app, I'd just go back to Google Messenger.

There isn't, at all. I've checked every setting in the app, trying to find something hidden through system settings but I'm not expecting anything.
