Question Any idea how to fix being able to print? - Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3

Tried uninstalling and installing the hp print app, no matter what any time I try to print from any app it crashes? Any ideas? Running the lastest BVA9 Android 12

Can you print from the native Print function? Might be the HP app doesn't work on 12. I have Epson, so can't test it for you.

I'm pretty sure I've tried that with the same result, I've been through so many combinations! I'll remove the hp app and try again just using the android one.

No it didn't, removed the Samsung print app and the hp print app so only the android stock one left, cleared cache, tried to print and got the same crash

That's frustrating! I assume you will trying to print different documents and not just the same one? Sometimes, files get corrupted. I had to help a family member recently who received a PDF from work that somehow always stopped printing at the same page and told the printer the paper was jammed (it was not), no matter how many times it was printed and what device it was printed from. I'd never seen anything like it! I told them to request a brand new scan of the document.

Yep it's a pain in the ass alright, I don't even get as far as printing, whenever I ask it to print anything using any app it has a think then crashes.

That sucks. You haven't disabled any services that would affect printing? Have you tried clearing cache and data for the print service? Were you ever able to print with this phone, or did it happen after the update or installing an app or?

I've not had the phone long tbh, I think this is the first time I've tried to print. Don't think I've disabled anything, and not sure what to look for there. Cleared cache on the apps, and on the phone.

Okay. Have you Googled the problem to see if anyone else had a solution? I did that the other day when my Always-On calendar suddenly was on the wrong date (happened after keeping the phone in battery-saving mode during a two-day power outage), and found the solution from years ago where going into the Samsung calendar app (which I don't use) and telling it to lock the time zone worked.

Yeah that was the first port of call, tried a few things and nothing made a difference. I'll keep fiddling away

Sky Mobile Application for Win 6 users

Sky have finally pulled their finger out and written a dedicated windows 6.* application to allow people to use remote record (you need to register with sky for this)
Have tested it on my Touch HD running KWBR's vanilla rhodium 6.5 based rom and it all works fine
Yippie, at last!!!
hi, would you gently post the link to the page on sky's site containing this app? i'd need to have more info about it but i honestly cannot find it myself :\

Here is the link from the sky pages.
The link on the site (http://p.wecomm.com/sky) goes to all of the different versions that you can get and I just uploaded the Touch HD one for everyone yesterday.
Have confirmed it as all working fine yesterday and have successfully set remote record for 2 programs without any issue (as I had an existing username/password for remote record when i used to use the java app on my N95)
Spudgun
thank you mate... as i suspected it wont work for me though
What problem are you having?
Have you used remote record before and have it linked to your Sky+ system at home?
It not, there is a really good guide to this on digitalspy
Spudgun
Other than the popup keyboard when trying to sign in, I would say on initial looks this is pretty sweet! We've been waiting for a dedicated app for a long time and I for one am happy I no longer need to use the web browser to view the tv guide.
So far so good, +1 for the happy user list.
The keyboard is a bit crap isn't it and it kind of gets in the way when entering your username/password, but after that it isn't an issue at all.
Thanks for posting this - it's exactly what I've been waiting for too.
I've set a couple of things to Record, so now I need to check on my Sky+ Box at home to make sure it's all going through.
Thanks again.
This looks very handy but the app doesn't seem to close on mine when I try to exit.

I had that issue one time last night, and had to close it via the task manager. I'm willing to put up with that for the convenience that this app brings though!
Just got the Christmas Radio Times today, so i am sure i will be using this app loads over the festive period when I am away from home.

Yep, same for me but I can minimise it and close via task manager. All the recordings I set worked a treat and for me this is a definate keeper!
Thanks to the OP for the heads up!
Do you need your phone line plugged in to use this?
TIA
Joel
Yeah I have to do the same stuff to close the app - minor annoyance I guess.
What's more weird though is that I tried it yesterday before I'd registered the online userid etc and I was able to see the EPG. So far so good.
Now that I've registered an account and linked it to my actual Sky subscription etc, the EPG doesn't work.
I get the main menu, EG Entertainment/Documentaries/Kids/Movies etc but no matter which I select, the next screen is blank and no epg content is shown.
Any ideas?
Good question about the phone line thing too - would like to know that myself - could it be related to the above problem?

No you don't need the phoneline plugged in. I've never had the phoneline plugged in for my Sky+ and this app works just fine.
I may try out one of the java based versions later on though, to see if the exit bug is fixed on that one

The phone line on your Sky+ Box does not need to be plugged in for this to work.
I had the same problem with an empty EPG when I changed my Region to SouthEast (Sky+ Options within the App) - I set it back to London and it worked fine.
Thanks for the tip - changed to London again and sure enough the epg works again.
Can't record though still. I got an error saying my profile isn't allowed to record so I googled it and found it's because I'm not the 'primary' account holder (my wife is), so I tried it by activating it with her details and I still get the same error even though I'm logging in with her details and it accepts the login and has been confirmed as activated.
Grrr, and WTF?

I changed my entry to "London and South East" and it worked fine - I think it's a case of finding the right one for your area.
As for the Recording, so need to make sure your Sky+ Box has the Account Registered and that you have Registered for Remote Record.
It's all here : http://mysky.sky.com/portal/site/skycom/mysky/remoterecord
Not saving password
Hi,
I have got this app up and running and have entered my user id and password and am then able to access the epg and record programs.
However, if i exit the app and then restart it, it does not remember my password and I have to re-enter it - a bit of a pain to do this each time.
I did hit the Save button after entering the password.
Is anyone else having this problem.
Cheers.

Amazon appstore app...

Anyone else not able to login?
Sent from your face
Working fine for me. Today's free app is of no interest to me, however I was able to install an update to PewPew 2.
EDIT: Figured it out. Flashing roms and reloading the app registers a new phone to your account every time. I guess there is a limit of 25 phones that can be registered. I had to go in and "deregister" some of them to make room. Maybe that means I'm flashing a bit too much.
This is pissing me off! I can login on my PC no issue. I just can't login on using the app on my cell. I get some msg saying temporary error and to try again in a few moments. No idea what's happening. I've deleted it, reinstalled, rebooted, factory reset...etc. UGGGHHHH

If you use Titanium to backup and restore the appstore (with its data) when flashing new ROMs, it doesn't appear to do that.

Security Apps

I recently thought I had lost my phone but I had just misplaced it at home. Because I had powered it off I was unable to locate it by making it ring and I thought it had been stolen.
Unfortunately, I hadn't set a lockscreen pin or installed a security app to help locate and control my phone remotely so my phone was totally unprepared for the situation.
I hurridly set about changing sensitive passwords using my laptop then I tried to remotely install a security app called "Android Lost" and when I eventually found my phone the app was automatically installed but did not work because it needs to be run and activated.
So, I have learned my lesson from this experience and I have now set a lockscreen password PIN and installed and registered "Android Lost".
Now if I really lose my phone I am not completely helpless and I will not power it off unless it is on charge.
I hope my experience acts as a warning to others who have not taken phone security precautions.
Yeah that's basically the first thing I did with the Nexus 4, I ended up going with Cerberus which was about $4aud for a account which I can use on my two previous phones and tablet should I decide to take it away since the Nexus doesn't have USB OTG support.
Does basically everything, my most wanted feature was the invalid pin/pattern photo, where if you put the wrong pin/pattern in it'll take a photo & Email it to me.
Thankfully haven't needed to put it into action but I make sure to test it after each ROM upgrade just in case it doesn't work.
I think the app "Plan B" will work in that situation. Never tried before though.

Thanks for your informative reply. I've switched from "Android Lost" to Cerberus which looks better.
Cerebus, Android lost or where's my droid?
I tried Cerberus because of all the positive comments I had seen on xda. I can personally say it is by far the best one out there. I've used seek droid, where's my droid and nearly all of them but Cerberus just seems to do more

Yeah, I use Cerberus as well (got it for free quite some time back when the developer was having a "free for life" weekend special). Also, it's worth mentioning that once bought you can use it on up to 5 devices (which is great if you have multiple phones).
In addition to doing what is quoted above it also lets you do all kinds of things in the web interface. From locking the SIM to tracking the phone's location over a given time period to being able to pull up call and text logs. All of that in addition to the usual features of locating your phone (via GPS) and setting off an alarm (that is insanely, and occasionally scary, loud).
I highly recommend it to my friends and family members. Definitely think you should give it a go. If I hadn't gotten it for free I would gladly have paid for it. Never had to use it (beyond showing off its capabilities to people looking for a security app), but it gives me peace of mind knowing it just works (and does so after ROM flashing).
Also, if you have root and enable it as a device administrator it'll do quite a bit more. From locking your phone to remote wipes to uninstallation protection (of course a complete wipe from recovery will beat that, but there's only so much you can do or not do in that case).
I like the way Cerberus can take a picture of someone trying to crack the lock screen pin and email it. I wonder how difficult it is to get past a screen lock pin?

Almost no impact at all
Anyone using avast?
I just got my Nexus 4 and have yet to setup a security app. I used Prey on my last phone and it seemed pretty good. Anyone know how it compares to these other apps?

No impact at all. Since the app doesn't run until you manually send commands from the web interface. And even then the app doesn't really "run" per se. There's no visibility at all it's even there, minus the icon in the app drawer. (And you can even hide the app and make it so it's only accessible by dialing a certain code from the phone dialer.)
i want to install these 'lost my phone' apps but dont they really drain the battery and you have to turn on gps and location settings on? also if the thief who steals your phone will read up on how to reflash and wipe the phone? it will render these apps useless
I've been using Cerberus for some time now and it's absolutely perfect! Every part of it functions just as it's intended to and the app has practically no impact on battery life. Great stuff!

I was using prey, but thanks to this thread I just switched to Cerberus - much better deal, interface, and functionality - plus a couple extra features if rooted. Totally worth the USD4.

Google play crashes on brand new nexus 7

I am on my second nexus 7 now. The first one had a bad microphone and it did not work at all. I exchanged it and got a new nexus 7 which has a working microphone, but right out of the box several apps crash like google play, gallery, and camera. Factory reset doesnt work, not does clearing the cache and app data for google play. Also apps like google drive tell me I don't have any external storage. I also am unable to copy any files to the tablet by connecting it to my computer. The storage comes up as unknown in size and when I go to copy files the window pops up to show it is being copied, but it never actually copies the file.

I got my third nexus 7 and it worked fine. All of them came from Office Depot in Tulsa Oklahoma. Interestingly enough I got the last one in three of the five stores in my area. I was told by one person that there had been some returns there as well because of defects. I think I should go get a lottery ticket or something because getting two bad tablets in a row has to be some kind of luck.
Yea sucks. Make sure to test NFC and Wireless Charging. I've heard of some issues with those not working. My 32gb seems great and everything works (knock on wood). Are most of the problems on the 16gbs or 32gbs? Some suggested their being a bad batch of memory?
Most importantly is that there seems to be lots of issues surrounding the latest Play Store 4.3.10. Many have dropped back to 4.3.9.
My Google Play doesn't crash, but I'm having problems downloading some apps. I'm having to clear cache in Settings and restart to get them to download/install.

The hot spot for NFC is on the "N". How are you testing it? Do you have some NFC tags? If using another device, make sure both NFC radios are enabled.

For people with problems downloading apps that crashes make sure that you go in tablet Settings, Backup & reset, and uncheck automatic restore. It seems that apps saved under a different version won't load properly. You can set auto restore after.

Google cloud print not working on Note10 plus

The apps broken for the Note 10 it seems. Had the same issue myself but I have the HP Tango and use the HP Print plug-in.

ive an epson WF-3540 and we are on the same network. no print error, it just printed. doesnt seem broke in my case. unlocked variant.

I did a clean install on her device. I'm wondering if it could be related to her cannon printer? I'm going to remove her printer from cloud print and link it to my office MFD see if that makes any difference.
This time around i didnt install all the epson apps and extra nonsense because i dont really use this service. Also, for me, on my note 9 I can remember me seeing so many different epson options (scanning, fax, etc etc ) and since I have 3 google accounts tied to my pone i think i would see 3 different listing for each account... so this time around I JUST installed google cloud print. Then I saw this post and did a test and it worked .
Looking at the interface now on the phone, I see i have other options to save a pdf to my google drive accounts, to print to Microsoft print to pdf.
Also I see a “remote print” option to the epson IN ADDITION to the standard epson printer print option. Not sure what the differences are there, but again this is with epson—I know yours will be different
I've done a full wipe and re-set everything up today and Cloud Print is still broken.
Luckily I don't need to use it.
Well I can confirm its working so perhaps its a user account thing? Maybe a permissions thing? I give google permission to know my locations and blah blah blah, so maybe thats why i have such success with it?
I'm having the same issue. Installed the Google Cloud print app (fresh install) but as soon as I try to select a printers the app crashes. It keeps on opening and closing endlessly upon I force close it! I guess it's related to the Note 10+

I tried that it still didn't work. So as a work around she is using the Samsung print service (it finds the Google cloud print server I setup and allows her to print on home WiFi) not as flexable as cloud print but better than the canon app/ service
Note 10 here. Same issue: cloud print service crashes endlessly as soon as its enabled. Works fine with other devices.

I got a response from Samsung support basically saying it's not there issue.
I've contacted Google support - no answer so far. Google hasn't updated the app since may this year.
Well the app works for me. Ive 3 note 10+s and I tested this out on all 3. The ones i have are unlocked 512gbs from Samsung. Like I’d mentioned before, perhaps its probably something local. The fact you dont see a lot of people posting about it may also mean it could be isolated events. It may also have something to do with permissions or lack there of, that you give the apps when setting them up.
