Hey guys,
I was reading gizmodo's blog and it had an article about the chrome to phone. In the article it said that was possible send links, maps/directions, phone numbers, texts... well I'm using chrome to phone on my N1 for a while already and so far all I could send over was links and maps/directions. I Googled about it and I didn't found any instructions how to send phone numbers or texts.
Has any figure it how to do it? Or is not implemented yet?
Thx.

Just maps and websites as far as I know.
It works with phone numbers.
and text you highlight
goes to phone's clipboard!
I'm not sure if you mean sending texts and phone numbers from your browser to your phone or to another phone, but you need google voice with a google number to send texts to other cell phones from your computer. This may not even be what you are asking.
Appbrain can send apps to your phone using ' fast web installer'
....same service-cloud-phone api
Ahhhh now I got it.
as superhongry said it works with text/numbers u highlight. So if u wanna send a text, all u have to do is highlight the text and send to phone. It ill be on the clipboard so all u have to do is paste into the notepad or w/e u wanna keep.
Same goes for number. If u wanna send a phone number u saw in a webpage all you have to do is highlight the number, send it to phone and past it into the phone app dialer.
ty for the help ppl
it still just send the whole page when i have something highlighted... am i missing something?
Yeah, I haven't been able to figure out the sending text to the clipboard feature. I've tried highlighting it, copying it first on my desktop, and random other stuff that doesn't even make sense to try. Only ever sends the webpage link.
Any trick to doing it?
Well, I guess is still a beta service so aint all that smooth... even when you highlight text/number it ALWAYS send the whole page, but the important is that the highlighted text/number get's stored in the system clipboard. So u can simply paste it w/e u like it.
According to the google doc page, when u highlight a cell number it should auto load the dialer, but that's a big negatory.. it simply don't work. But still the referred number get's stored in the clipboard so u can just past in the dialer.
When they launch a 1.0 version I'm hopping it will all work out.

NOPE!
Just select the text. Right click and select.
(Done using Firefox 3.6.3, Send To Phone 0.8 and Nexus One 2.2 FRF85B)
Funny enough in Chrome we don't get that option to right click an highlighted text and "send to android".... kinda sucks that Firefox extention has more functionality than Chrome's extension itself.

I'm sure once they update it they will add all the functions firefox has

i tried sending a phone number to my phone yesterday morning
it was working. the phone automatically launched dialer with the number already inserted.
later in the afternoon, i tried again to show some friends...failed. all it sent was the entire page.
im sure they're still working out lots of bugs.

Well that just sounds like the standard Murphy's law working there
And thanks to the others with info on the clipboard. I never thought to check it when the page was sent over too, I just assumed it failed and sent the page instead.
yeah i just pasted and it had what i had highlighted last night still copied so that works, and i tried the firefox one, it works alot better

The chrome to phone is pretty much just a proof of concept that was written up for I/O.
In Chrome, you can highlight any text in the browser and click the normal Chrome-to-Phone button by the URL. It will open the URL in the browser on the phone, BUT, the text will ALSO be copied to the phone's clipboard. (In Chrome on the desktop, you should see the color of the highlighted text change slightly to indicate that it sent it).
This is confirmed in Chrome 6.0.453.1 dev with Google Chrome to Phone Extension Version 0.3 on Windows.

Not sure why long press never did text selection in gmail before. It's not like long press did anything previously!
Does anyone know if there's a 'dark' version of 2.3.4? I'm so used to having it on 2.3.2. and I don't wanna go back.
You can select text for sure but you can't do **** with it lol

2.3.4.1 and the one previous (that was pulled).
And no.. it works when you're reading the email, not during a reply/compose.
You long press then let go, you will see a cursor, then you can tap and drag anywhere to highlight anything.

You're right, it does nothing. Google put it in the changelog and fooled us... but somehow mine does it by magic.

No need to be sarcastic. Just because it works for you doesn't mean it works for all of us. I have tried with various emails and holding my finger on text for various amounts of time. No success.

In my experience, you need to long press, and then (if you see the little mouse icon), drag your finger.
Some of us are still waiting for ANY update to GMail =(

Some of us are wondering why Google separated the Gmail client from the regular email client.
Outright idiotic, IMO.

hey guys i am on non rooted phone
and there is a serious security issues in s-memo
i have afolder in s-memo which is password protected which contains my imp data
now when in s memo if anyone goes into search and types a file name he can easily see all my imp data without password
guys are you facing the same
plz help
thanks
Can you explain exactly how your searching for the file? Are you just clicking on the smemo app and once opened you type imp or .imp into the search or are you doing something else. If you explain I'll check for you right now, if you're still here.
thanks in advance for your help
i have created a folder names "imp msg" which is locked with password
there are 5 memos in the folder
Now when i search (option available after pressing menu button when in s-memo app) with any word which is in memo in the imp msg folder the memo appears directly which can be seen and on selection we can open that memo without entering password
hey except me no one has tried this out or is it that i am the only one facing this problem??

I have just tried it and can confirm that you are correct in your findings. There is a work around if you want to keep specific notes private, if you password protect individual files/s notes, they do not appear in the search results.
I know that it is not ideal but is a temporary fix.
You have to lock the Notes individually.

Dave

Is this issue now solved for you?
You do not have to disable google voice typing, just the google voice typing key from in the xperia keyboard settings

What the "other shawn" was referring to was that he unchecked the google voice typing key but it will somehow auto-check later on...
The same happened to me when I unchecked but it will somehow auto-check again, so what I did was to disable the Voice Search App.
haha thanks shawnwu & gregbradley, but shawnwu understand my problem. how u disable the voice apps? like how to want to uninstall the app way from there disable?

Is there supposed to be a keyboard with this update? I see the apps in the watch there is no keyboard tho and it says none loaded after the version .
Thanks
Try Google keep for example, you have a micro or keyboard
You may need to select it in the settings.
The default one is a bit small to be that useful, I'm using Touchone Keyboard as a replacement and it's a lot easier.

Can try opening from Google play on computer or watch, for some reason opening on mobile says it's incompatible
I installed that KB but I can't seem to get it to work. I enabled it, what am I missing here??
~John
took me a bit to work it out first time as well.
After it's installed, on the watch go to:
- Settings
- Personalisation
- Input methods
If it's not already showing at this point click on 'manage keyboards'
- Select TouchOne
You can disable the other keyboard if you want, should work now when you get a msg.
Tip, to send the msg when your on the keyboard hit the green tick symbol at the top, I didn't notice this the first time and was wondering why I couldn't send any messages.
Not sure if this is a bug with AW2.0 or the keyboard but sometimes when I go into the WA messages there is no reply function, generally i just let it close and then open it again in a few minutes.
Keyboard take a bit of getting use to but still much easier than the default one
Hope that helps.

I've done all that & it still doesn't work.
I get a text with message + & no KB shows at all when I try to reply.
