Chrome to Mobile - Team EOS 2.0 - Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I can't post in the main thread so hopefully someone sees this. i'm trying to use the Chrome-to-mobile extension on my desktop to send links to my xoom, but it's not doing anything. i have all the settings correct i think. is this just something that doesn't work on roms? i never got to try it on stock before flashing.
i tried googling and searching but looking for the words "chrome" and "mobile" doesn't exactly provide great results!
thanks!!!

i dont know if this would help but if you install chrome beta on your xoom, and your signed into google on your pc, if you open chrome on xoom, then at bottom it shows you other devices that are signed in to your account and any open tabs that are open on your comp, maybe not what your looking for but thought it might help

Did you try checking your settings in Chrome Mobile? I believe there is an option for Chrome to Mobile, and it just may be disabled.
Hope that helps

Thanks! I will check on the notification. I have everything checked tho. Unfortunately the issue now is I deleted my Xoom as a printer from my docs site and now it won't recognize a new device!

Zinio & PressDisplay for Android from Galaxy Tab

Zinio, PressDisplay, and Readershub extracted from most recent version of Galaxy Tab ROM (JMA). (Actually the readershub was extracted from JK5). Zinio is not beta anymore.
works fine in Nexus One. Now the zinio preview shows the entire page, and allows work in landscape (but crashes often in landscape, works perfectly in portait).
Zinio Does not seem to work on Droid X, any suggestions?
It installs "succesfully" but doesnt add to app drawer, go to app manager and click launch, it returns error message "Activity not found - com.zinio.samsung.android"
EDIT: Figured it out, have to install readers hub, and luanch it, then click magazines to launch zinio!
-Thanks!

Works great, just finished a magazine with no issues

What about the ebook reader included in the readershub can`t u rip it as well?
Works great on Desire Cyanogen mod 6.1.0 so far.
Thanks for posting - can you get magazines full screen on your device? I can not on my Tab (as others have posted elsewhere) I have to zoom in slightly to get the image. Not really usable this way, as you then need to zoom out to change pages.
What do this apps do?
Only annoying thing is that Zinio doesn't multitask. If u leave the app and try to return to it, you gotta reload the magazine you were reading.

thanks for posting the apks here. worked flawlessly on HTC DZ
Hi, i have a big question: will this work on one of those crappy chinese tablets for like 100/200 bucks? I really want this app to read my skateboarding and surf subscriptions. but i dont need an expensive tablet..
soooo.... would this work on a 10 inch tablet that has 2.2?
Please say yes!
Works on Dell Streak.
PressDisplay doesnt work too well in portrait mode as the page overlapping each other. but in landscape it work fine... anyway to solve this issue?
Thanks for posting this. I have been using Zinio on my Viewsonic G Tablet for a few weeks now and am loving it. It works fine in landscape or portrait mode for me. It shows all of my subscriptions except for one which is an "interactive" magazine.
I have sent Zinio support an email about it as all of their FAQs are telling me to uninstall and install the latest version of the reader. Hopefully they will turn me on to a newer apk.
Zinio/The Reader's Hub was one of the primary reasons that I bought my Galaxy Tab, and finally it's here and working as expected.
The press reader portion of the apps don't work. I can't create an account and the online store simply returns a "Can not connect to server"
Thank you lots!!!!
Finally I can read my zinio magazines in my SGS... not perfect but it works... remember to install the three files. Access to Zinio is through Reader's Hub under magazine...
Enjoy
Samsung Galaxy S
Works great on the Adam
This is exactly what I have been looking for. I have installed it on the Notion Ink Adam and it works without any issues.
Any idea if we can change the Zinio download folder (to say a SD card or a USB drive)?
Thanks,
Richard

Hi
I had it partially working on my Archos 101 - worked fully in portrait but only text mode in landscape.
A couple of days ago I got the same non supported pop up with no way to upgrade.
Contacted support and a few hours later it was working again.

[Q] downloading files

I currently access a website that has the ability to download selected files from the click of a hyperlink. (on the PC). You just click on the link and the files come down and a dialog box opens with the downloaded file asking, to open it or save it.
When I try to do the same on my phone the website appears to be accepting depressing the link, however nothing appears on my phone and I cannot find the file anywhere space on the phone. It may be downloading the file in the file structure but I cannot find it. My friend who has an iPhone does the same thing and the file opens up immediately on his phone just like you would on a PC.
I can open these files if they are sent to me in an e-mail but not by depressing this hyperlink on the website.
Anyone have any ideas?
ps: the phone is a stock Charge with the latest GB update.
Usually you'd see an arrow in the Status Bar when something is actually downloading. You can also check the Downloads app in your App Drawer, providing you have it.
It sounds to me like it's simply not downloading for some reason You could try another Browser to see if you have the same problem.
I tried using the dolphin browser but still no luck. I looked in the downloads folder and did not see it. The particular link on the website itself is a function that automatically begins a download stream to the your device. When using a PC, a dialog box opens up asking if you want to open the file or save it. I get no reaction when using my android phone. I know the function works on a mobile device since a friend of mine with an iPhone perform the same function and it downloaded to his phone.
Any other ideas?
What is the website you are trying to download from?
Anyway, try Opera Mobile first, NOT the MINI version,but "Opera Mobile".
Its the only browser who allowes me to download from any source I tried so far:
https://market.android.com/details?...t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5vcGVyYS5icm93c2VyIl0.
Wow, thanks very much for the help yukinok25. Looks like the Opera Mini browser, which I assume is similar to what's in the iPhone works perfectly. The website I am accessing this link is a secure server so I cannot tell you the website.

[Q] Chrome Search Hijacked...fix?

I'm running chromi-x. My chrome browser's address bar search feature is somewhat hijacked...
<search term> goes to google/yahoo/bing (as set in settings) but it searches for: http://www.search-goal.com/?q=<search term>&affID=<somenumber>&babsrc=amob_ait
Has anyone seen an android browser hijack? Any idea how to fix? AVG A/V hasn't had any luck....
EDIT/PS: This is not happening in the default android browser.
Oops. Didn't read properly. Sorry. Forgot you said it searches the correct engine.
Edit: after a few Google searches, I can't find anything about search-goal.com, and the site has no information about itself either. My best guess is an app you installed is doing it. Uninstall anything you may have installed in the last week or so, and see if the problem goes away.
My suggestion would be to uninstall reinstall if that doesn't work, reflash the rom. I just went to search-goal.com on my pc and it looks dangerious. Im wasn't aware the homepage could be changed without user input, if you've installed any root access apps (essentially any apk files) id uninstall them.
Thanks for the suggestions. I tried uninstalling chrome. Got it uninstalled but had a heck of a time re-installing. It would NOT wipe /data/data/com.android.chrome. I finally removed that with TWRP. After reinstalling chrome it's still doing it. I've done an "install over" rom install (install, no data wipe) and it's still doing it. As much as I've tried to avoid it I think I'm going to have to wipe/reload/reinstall apps one by one. My last shot is I'm trying to find where the search engines are set up if it's a file somewhere to see if I can edit it.
Definitely malicious given the one time I tried to open it on a PC that I knew I could clean if I needed to it came up looking like a google clone.
Thankfully it's not actually loading that site so it's not doing anything but being annoying when I try to search.
same in my case -> solution
I had the same issue at my tf101 (at Team EOS rom) - and I was able to find the reason: in my case A.I. type keyboard app and the so called customized web search capabilities. When you remove this "feature" chrome search is back to normal.
Happy camper!

Many thanks be to timbetu! I shut off all my extra keyboards I was trying out. (FloatNSplit, GO, Hacker's, & Perfect Keyboard Free). That left the Android, ASUS, and Google voice typing turned on. Sure enough it went away! I was actively using FloatNSplit at the time. Will do some experimenting to find out if it was that one or another.
You have saved me from having to resetup my tablet!
:highfive:

I'm using floatnspin keyboard and that seems to be my issue. There is a setting for web searches and once I turned that off my browser worked normally again. I guess thats a new "feature".
Had the same problem, uninstalling the app fixed it. Please flag this app in Google play so Google can know about this! If you ask me, changing the default search engine without notifying the user is pretty nasty and malicious.
FloatNSplit and A.I. keyboard seems to be the same app.

I recognized this problem at my tablet and searched for an solution. During my search I found this topic here - but unfortunately without help. So I tried everything at my Asus and as I discovered the guilty app I just shared this finding with other affected users (because I knew of this thread).

UPDATE: "Band-aid" ---> I did tested, very weird but work for now but you have to turn off the "2-step verification" to make it work without get into that stupid black webpage and you can get in your own account. <--- "Band-aid" for now... But we know we do not like to turn off the "2-step verification"... so somehow I need to know how to replace that browser with push in the ADB???
UPDATE: I have been trying replaced the browser.apk to newly updated browser.apk in /system/app and it's work but still having problem with "black website" but when I started to check google... and I saw some of numbers and snows on that page but still black on the page...
UPDATE: I having been not able to fix it also I found out very weird is when you get in Gmail (apps) and you'll notice that some area is black too... I think it's run with that browser... That made me feel sad and feel like new ROM isn't worth to me... But I'll try my best to stay with it

Almost all 4.4 Custom roms of older devices has Black boxes problems, this bug is a breakage in the new chromium based webkit and is in any app that makes use of it. The chrome browser works fine as a replacement. You need to modify the rom to fix this but i don't recommend this, you should wait till the developer fix it.

Address bar suggestions not showing up in Chrome

For some reason today, when I type a search query or URL in the address bar in Chrome, no predictions are coming up. I have the 'Search and URL suggestions' box ticked in settings/privacy.
I tried switching the search engine to Yahoo instead of Google and started getting suggestions again, but I much prefer the suggestions that Google makes. I've tried restarting my phone, clearing data from Chrome in Apps, Force closing Chrome, uninstalling updates to Chrome etc. Nothing.
Does anyone have any idea how I can get address bar predictions to come back?
Thanks
Same issue here.

I've got the same issue too, and just noticed this today! But I have an HTC One M8 (AT&T version).
See my Google product forums post about this:
https://productforums.google.com/fo...e=footer#!msg/chrome/xTTHziAr1C0/9b7w4CHSiQYJ
Maybe if others reply to my thread on there (stating that you also have the problem) Google will take notice of it?
Interestingly the search suggestions *do* show up if I use Google Now or Firefox or default HTC browser, or pretty much in any other app (even Google Play) that uses Google search. Just not in Chrome (any more).
As my thread says, it *used* to work in Chrome just fine. If I try to "uninstall" Chrome, meaning roll it back to the oldest default version that came with the phone, then Google search suggestions again work just fine. But then soon Chrome auto-updates and it doesn't work again.
So… since I'm not the only one experiencing this, I'm thinking that a recent Chrome update must have caused this, in which case a lot more people should be noticing it soon… I hope. I'm not sure when the latest Chrome update was, or if this only effects certain devices, or what.
Anyway, if anyone has any ideas on how to fix this, please share!
thanks

So I looked further into it, and it's "Google Instant" and apparently it'snot working on a bunch of phones, including the LG G2... I can't tell if its an LG thing or Android thing. Apparently Chrome Beta has this issue as well... but not on my Chrome Desktop
Can confirm this started happening to my phone too. Seems to be a problem with clearing history too. Weird.

Ah is it all phones or just a few models?
Same issue here. Not exactly sure when it stopped working...
I get this to. I think it started last night. If i uninstall and go back to the preinstalled chrome found in kitkat 4.4.2 it works fine. Or if I switch to bing as search engine It will work.
trying to google it I'm not getting too much for this. So I'm thinking it might be just us 4.4.2 users???
Hope it gets fixed soon
I thought it was only me. Spent an hour or so trying to figure it out. Hopefully gets sorted out soon.

I too am having similar issues and can't find a single suggestion that fixes the problem. When I type in the address bar, auto suggestions do appear, but they are only from my search history and bookmarks. None of them are search suggestions like when using google.com.
I did follow the instructions provided to enable Google Suggestions in the address bar, then use Ctrl+K to place the cursor in the Omnibox to conduct a search, and begin to enter query you will receive query suggestions. That is, when Google.com is the default search engine.

Thanks for the advice. I think you're referring to the desktop browser whereas we are all referring to the Chrome browser on the Nexus 5.
My search predictions seem to be back again which is good. Has anyone else got theirs back?
Mine's working again.
