[TUT] Installing Cloud to device for google Chrome & Firefox HERE!

Google Chrome to Phone Extension enables you to send the link for the current open tab to your Android device. Simply
click on the phone icon and the link will be pushed to your device. You will be required to log in with the same account used by
your Android device.
Setup instructions
GOOGLE CHROME!!!
----------------------
Download the Google Chrome to Phone Extension for your Google Chrome browser HERE
Download the Google Chrome to Phone Extension application to your Android device from HERE (make sure Settings->Applications->Unknown Sources is checked). Note that this application requires Android 2.2 ("Froyo") or later.
Start the Google Chrome to Phone Extension application on the phone.
Choose the account to register with (this must match the account you sign in to with Google Chrome to Phone Extension on the desktop).
Click on "Register Device" to register your phone with the Google Chrome to Phone Extension service.

This is done the same way for Firefox as it is for Chrome, except that you need to use this extension for the firefox browser. Do not use the Newer plugin that it will suggest you to use, because it does not download properly.You use the same extenstion for the phone for Chrome. (Thanks momentarylapseofreason)

When you send a maps link to your phone, it just sends whatever is in your address bar, which is probably just maps.google.com if you're getting a blank map on your phone.
Click the "Link" button in the top right corner, copy the link in the box, paste into a new tab, THEN click send to phone, and voilà!

Thanks Paul22000. Very Nice

wow, that's pretty slick

Paul coming in with the clutch play. thanks man

Is there anyway to push directions directly to the Maps App or does everything have to be opened in the phone browser?
Thanks!

should automatically do that when you check Launch browser/maps directly on the app on your device

It doesn't There for you have to use the alternate method

If you prefer Firefox, here is the link to that version instead
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/161940/

I'll just post this encase other people run into this problem. If you are copying and pasting the maps link make sure you are using maps.google.com I tried it with google.com/maps and the copy past link wouldn't work.
Hope this helps!

That's fabulous, thanks for the heads-up! Is this the extension and app from google itself? why is it then so rudimentary compared to the keynote demo?

Is it me, or are the notifications for this permanatly on full blast?

Does anyone know whether you can you use cloud to device as a way to dial out on Nexus without touching the phone?

Potentially, I believe so, but you would need to write something up. Not sure what all commands are allowed from the cloud API

Hell yeah man, thanks a lot. I've been looking for this since I got the update.

If you use pauls method of copying the link to your browser It should already do that, as long as you checked that box in the app on the phone, that allows you to do so

[CONFIRMED] New Google Market working with MarketAccess in Canada

I just rooted my I9100 XXKG3 Bell phone with CF-Root and installed MarketAccess to allow downloading of US restricted apps. The cool part about this app is that it actually works with the new market version. Notice how my Bell Canada Galaxy S2 phone shows as being enabled into Market:

}
So far I installed Google+, Books, Music and TV Remote (I plan to get Google TV soon), all working perfectly with my US Google Apps account. So it is possible to get/use US based applications in Canada.
For those interested to learn more how I did it, I use StrongVPN as service for a US IP address in New York and have a Cisco E4200 DD-WRT router connected to my Netgear ProSafe VPN Firewall SRXN3205 router. In this way, I get the best of worlds... a wireless Canadian and US IP address. I got this setup going originally because I wanted to see all the US based movies for Netflix on my TV, while in Canada. I used a free Google Apps account and set it to United States as base country. I can sync now my mail, contacts, music, videos, etc. with one single custom account (@yqed.com) on both my Samsung Galaxy S2 and Tab. For paid apps, I use my regular Canadian credit card, it works fine to purchase any apps. The key (I think) is the Google Apps account to be set in United States.
Here are some screenshots:

hmm... i'm using the latest Android Market and /or Google Market and i don't even need to do any of that
it works just fine in Windmobiles

Do any of US restricted apps install and actually work for you? You have a Canadian provider SIM card in your phone? One thing is sure, it does not work with Bell... as soon I disable the MarketAccess, all US apps are gone. All my restricted apps work properly, for example I'm able to sync music from my PC to all my devices with Google Music. The songs pop right away into app. I was also able to rent and watch a video from Google Videos, not that I plan to use this service but still...

More updates... I noticed that even if I disable the MarketAccess, I still have full access to restricted apps in my browser. I removed the app, did a cache cleanup with CWM and restarted the phone. The apps are not visible anymore into Market but I was able to install fine Google Videos from the browser. That is nice... Let see if Google remembers my fake carrier forever.

Has Google lifted market restrictions? I just tried searching for an app that before I was restricted to and I was surprised to see I can download it now!

Heh, really? What app was it? Before installing the MarketAccess today, I was getting the dreadful "This item cannot be installed in your device's country" message.

Ooops... not really, maybe just the app became available, still can't access Google Music... too bad

That is easy to fix, you only need a VPN provider. Then it will work.
The secret is to actually have the router running as VPN server, or else your app will detect the Non-US IP and fail miserably. DD-WRT does that very nice.

will try that but how about if I'm away from the router? Will MarketEnabler do the trick for Google Music?

You only need MarketAccess (MarketEnabler is confirmed not to work with the new Market version) to install the Music app and you need an US IP to configure it for the first time into your phone. This is critical, using a VPN directly into your phone won't work. If the app detects an non-US IP, it will not enable the streaming features over a Google account. Once the software link is created to your account, you can use/stream music from any IP in the world. It would be pretty useless to have the app if Google allows you to download your music ONLY when you are in States.
I tested the app to upload new songs from PC with my Canadian IP, as well streaming music on the Music app. It works as intended. This how the app streams a 320kpbs song:
This is how the app widget looks like:

I see... Thanks for the heads up, will get to setting up a US vpn first prior installation. The app looks really cool, something to look forward to.

Malware issue?

So one night, after a few too many, I stupidly downloaded a version of Madden off the internet. After minimal research, my intoxicated brain figured, what the hell. After later reading this game was most likely malware,I deleted it and anything I could find in storage that seemed related. Not sure if this is the culprit, but ever since around then I get these yellow pop ups in my Yahoo mail app. See attached photo. I don't get them in my Yahoo mail on my pc. If I click on it, (had to try it once) it takes me to a "web page not available" screen. I've since done a complete factory reset, manually gone into cwm recovery and formatted everything, including the SD. Flashed a new Rom, Goldeneye, and once booted, first installed Yahoo mail app, fresh from market, and only Yahoo mail app and bam, Yellow malware looking email pops up first thing. I even changed Yahoo password on my pc, installed trend security, and at one time Norton. Neither showed any issues. Only have issues with Yahoo mobile, no other apps. Haven't seen any abnormal data, or messaging usage, and no one has informed me of receiving suspicious email from me yet. What is it, and how the hell do I get rid of it?

^ clearly States Yahoo free mail and mobile versions run with sponsored ads. Ask.com is a sponsored ad of Yahoo. Yahoo mail plus is the only way you'll get rid of sponsored ads.

N app compability list

Adding that the Toggl app doesn't work with N. I would also add that the Facebook app is very unstable and crashes frequently.

There is already a thread like this in the themes and apps thread. I do agree that it should be in general though. There is more talk about android N in the general section.

Hotspot not working here either.
Also can confirm TWC TV is not working well, as stated it crashes every time upon clicking "Live TV." Google Messenger does force close galore for me as well.
Another one not working for me is the not very popular Salesforce1 app. It just constantly flashes the opening splash screen and never loads the actual app.
Instagram does work for me, although along with most of my other apps it flashes up warning messages about libraries upon opening it.

Not sure if its just me but Netflix just shows a black screen but plays audio. It was working when I first flash the preview but it stopped working recently.

VPN on Fire Stick with Alexa.

Hi;
I have a fire stick with alexa.
I would like to use Prime Video, but I can not because I am in Spain.
I have tried several VPN apps, but none works for me.
Can you help me?
Regards.

What VPN are you using? I use PIA and Prime works fine on the UK Southampton gateway but it's blocked on the London one so it might be worth trying a few different gateways.

I tested FreeVPN, TurboVPN, Hola VPN, SuperVPN and Ultrasurf. None worked.
PIA I have not tried it because it is paid.

Any free solution?

Never used this service. But the only free option I can think off is WindScribe VPN free 50 GB monthly thru SD's code. You will need an offer per device & you can only use an App to access it. No OpenVPN on the free accounts.

I've never used them so can't comment on this possible solution specifically. So let us know how it goes & if you find any roadblocks, etç

Just checked & the Android APP & OpenVPN are only for Pro/Paid accounts. They do promise to release a version for a free account on Android by the end of (2nd Quarter) June 2017.

As long as Amazon has not blacklisted that VPN's IP addresses. It should. We mostly hear of Netflix aggressively targeting VPN's. Don't remember hearing much about Prime & VPN's.
I would try to get the 50gb free account(S) now in case the free upgrade code becomes inactive by June.

Thank you. I registered and used the code to get the 50gb account.
I think I'll wait for the app for free accounts.

Are you blocking updates thru your Router or OpenDNS ?

I think I know where the problem is.
I pay the premium account in Spain, and when I try to watch a movie, I get the error message because I do not pay the US premium account.
It is curious, because I use the application from the mobile, pressing the option to "play a movie in firestick" and works perfectly.
I tried to update the Prime video app for the one that is in the Play Store of Spain, but it does not let me update.
From what I've read, it cannot be root this device.
