Just thought I'd give everyone a heads up - I can't believe I have lived without this for so long. Just fantastic.
Agree, fantastic tool.
Im using mozilla as there is an add-on for that too.
So, except for google maps and youtube videos what other uses for ChromeToPhone are there?
Well, you can push any link to your phone and not depend on QR codes. I think thats cool. Just an example, you come across a nice picture you want to use as a wallpaper. Just push a button, beats fiddling with bluetooth/usb after DLing or even using a QR code generator.
Totally agree!
This's just amazing!
I love it and I'm sure I'll use it often!

You're able to dial a phone numbers. You just have to select the phone number in the browser then click on the button. It'll directly send it to your phone and open the dialer application.
Also you're able to select a text and after you click the button in the browser it will be copied in your Android clipboard
Totally! I've used it a couple of times today already.
The fact that it sends maps straight to Google Maps on the phone is gonna be super handy for trips.
I was looking for this. Awesome tool!
It is cool, but it needs to be able to go the other way too.
How many times have you clicked on a page that's slow or cumbersome on your phone, one that's just better suited to your laptop browser? Would be so handy to be able to send from phone to chrome.
It was raised on the code.google site but they said they're not working on it
i found firefox/chrome plugin but i also want IE8 plugin, any one found this yet?
yep, tried it yesterday on mozilla firefox and it works great
Will it drain my batterry? How it works? Is it checking requests from chrome every sec.?

No it doesnt check every second... Google cloud simply pushes it to your devices...

It is a puch service so your phone doesn't actively check for the links sent to the phone but it is pushed to the phone and then the phone downloads it.
Just how the push email works.
Clever stuff!
Can you use it for file transfer, eg put the file into dropbox, copy the shared link, Chrome2Phone and download from the phone's browser?
EDIT: Just realised, there's a Dropbox app, er, for that.

So what is this? An extension to Chrome? I don't find it in Chrome extensions. Searching Google I found an .apk with it suggesting it is an Android app. How does that enable anything in your Chrome browser? Sorry maybe I'm dense

Is there any way to disable the notification sound for this app. I know i can disable notification sounds, but i would like to disable it only for this...
And maybe I should ask this on the Maps brut thread, but when sending a link from google maps it opens in stock Maps app instead of Maps brut (which I chose for default), if I uninstall stock Maps app it just won't load the link.
Does anyone knows a way to launch maps links with Maps brut?
thanks!

1. Amazon
2. Kindle - I know this is coming

There's also WhatsApp.
The first smartphone OS to offer a worthy alternative to Blackberry Messenger will win big, I think
Microsoft said they won't disallow apps that duplicate functionality, but I don't know if they'll allow you to change the default browser.
That would be very bad. Opera Mini is even available on iPhone.

after how many years though?
the reason you won't see opera/firefox/chrome on wp any time soon is due to the restrictions still on the languages. wp uses VB/C#, which does not allow for C++ which a lot of these more complex programs are written in. Though OEMs have capabilities to write native code.
I am pretty satisfied for the most part with the apps on my HD7 but I do want Skydrive integration and limited multitasking for apps like LastFM.
Bing also should be updated to match the superior iPhone app.
Many things have to be improved.
IE is great but lacks support for many features.
I got an app for amazon in "testing" in the marketplace. I can give out the xap if you like it, It's gonna be free anyway.
It has limited functionality at this time, but I'm improving it as I found new things to add.

1. Official Google Voice App - I know it might be a problem to intercept outgoing calls and/or using GV when you tap "Send Text" from the People Hub, but an official app from Google would probably be more fluid than what's available now. GVoice is a good solution for now, but it could use some small improvements. Who better to do that than Google?
2. I know emulators are not allowed, but I'd like to see a homebrew PSX and SNES Emulator. I'd definately pay the developer for it, Paypal maybe since Marketplace won't allow it... that's how it's done for WinMo.
3. BeyondPod

But thanks. I'm assuming I would use the same install method on this as I did the T-Bolt...
I prefer CarHome Ultra, https://market.android.com/details?...51bGwsMSwxLDEsInNwaW5uaW5naGVhZC5jYXJob21lIl0.
It's not free, but it's way better, imo.
Try this, flash the car home apk then the launcher apk, let me know.
Just found that CarHome Ultra right before you posted it. It's a trial? Didn't see where it asks you to pay for it. Looks nice though.
Thanks for the heads up.

This is a very nice app. I don't understand why Google doesn't update their own apps with there OS.
If anyone wants Google Car Home with a stock phone, unlocked, unrooted, unanything I've gotten it working through this method:
Google Car Home on the Galaxy Nexus.
How I did it:
Follow the instructions here:
http://www.droid-life.com/2012/02/0...m-the-market-on-the-verizon-lte-galaxy-nexus/
Just type 'Google Car Home' whenever it refers to Google Wallet.
The app will install, but then give you a message that it's not compatible. You will not see it in your apps - however if you go to settings-->apps it's in the list - there is just no icon available.
So there is a final step, install this app:
https://market.android.com/details?...1bGwsMSwxLDEsIm5ldC5jd2ZrLmlnODguY2FybW9kZSJd
All this app does is give you a toggle to launch the default car home app. If you have more than one installed, it will as which you want to use.
I've used Google Car Home on my Verizon Nexus today and it works great. I've also changed the colors now so they match 'ICS blue'.
Will see if I can attach the image:
Waou it works perfectly...
Thank you so much... i've been looking for a way to install car home on my GNexus non rooted for age, and finally i have it, thanks to you.
I was stuck at first, cause i wasn't going on the car home page but stayed on the search results page (where you can actually clic install directly) and the market did the same and it didn't work... but then i did it properly and it's perfect.
I've downloaded apk from xda also, and it allowed me to have the exact same icon than the original (and not the car mode icon).
Anyway, works flawlessly.
Where did you find the APK? I've tried this method but I couldn't get it to work...
Just to say thanks to Mcdeadagain - finding a launcher was my issue.
apk can be found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1569027

It is bizarre. I can access Google Play, find an app, and attempt to download, except that the app never downloads. I get an error 495. I've googled that error and I've cleaned data and cache from Google Play and Google Framework. I've also removed my Google email address from Accounts, cleared it all again, then added my email again. No joy. Seems there are a small number of people with that problem. It's very frustrating with my brand new phone.

Try downloading an app from your browser and not the Play Store app. This has got mine working in the past when nothing else worked.

Sounds like switching Roms might solve that problem. Are you on the stock Rom? Here's the one I'm using, there are only two for now and they are both leaps and bounds better than stock. Additionally, it may be a problem with an older iteration that rom if you are using a custom one

I tried to add a background checker that checks for unread forums (for subscribed users) every minute and alerts the user if there are new forum posts. Seems to work for me.
EDIT:
I changed the way it notifies by showing a small number on the icon, it is less annoying than showing an alert every minute.
And also, this version shows your SUBSCRIPTIONS, not XDA News.
This looks fantastic, I can't wait for the Firefox add-in to be released!

I thought I was going mad when I kept downloading files from chrome and they wouldn't show up in the file manager (nor would they open in the proper application if clicking the download from Chrome)
I poked around and found that instead of downloading to the Download folder at /storage/emulated/0/Download it downloads to /storage/emulated/0/android/data/com.android.chrome/files/Download
I'm guessing I could remove the latter folder and symlink it to the former, but that seems hacky (and not likely to fix the problem of opening files)
I looked around Chrome's settings and don't see a way to change it from there.
Yes thats something new by google in android 10 with the downloads thing, app called storage redirect (needs root) will fix this for you
From the description in the play store for that app
This app provides application storage isolation. Once this feature is turned on for an app, that app will only be able to use the isolated storage space defined by us.

Mmm actually i installed the app and didnt play around with its settings it just starts when os boots up and i cancel it all the time but since installing it, chrome now downloads files fo download folder so i think it is because of this app
Since I posted this THREAD things started downloading to the right place. I'm baffled ?

You got it man did the same thing in chrome and finally device started showing recent downloads in the download folder. I actually turned the "ask where to save" back on and still shows new DL in the folder so a quick little off/on gets the job done. Hopefully is patched soon tho cause was a hassle finding anyone with the same issue as me. On pixel 2 xl btw ?
hah.. Mine asks twice but still down loads to that obscure folder. I thought they did that on purpose. Thanks for letting us know it's correctable without root.
