Google Cloud Print

For some reason I can't get it to work right on the G-Tablet, it does however work beautifully with my phone. Anyone else try doing it yet? You have to access g-mail via your web browser.

Does this differ much from printershare?

IMHO it is completely different. I was able to get this working on my gtab running VEGAn in about 5 minutes, and it allows me to print to any printer that is connected to any computer that i have access to, regardless of how that printer is connected to that computer.
Oh yeah...it is free too

Printershare also connect to any printer attached to my computer as well, the free part is interesting since printershare is free for a certain amount of pages and all. guess ill give it a shot. thanks for the info.

I just used Google Cloud Print on my Samsung Captivate and hope to check it out on my new GTab tonight! Thanks for the info! I had not yet heard about it. It will be nice when Google updates some of their Apps (such as the Gmail App and the stock browser) to support Cloud Print!

good cloud print is awesome much better than paying for printer share after all the free pages it gives you to print which isnt much, hope more sites/pages will be supported thanks for the advice.

So have you guys got it to work from your G-tab ok? I always have problems in the stock browser with G-mail.

How did you get it setup?
I have Vegan running, and just wondering how you got it setup.
Thanks

works great on my original droid however your right wont work with the stock browser or with dolphin browser on the gtab, however there is an app in the market called "cloud print" looks like that one works on the gtab

"Cloud Print Beta"?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.pauloslf.cloudprint&feature=search_result
I'm going to check it out real quick. According to the web marketplace, it is compatible with the GTab.

yes, cloud print beta

I installed it, went thru the login process, sent a test page from the app. ... and... Nothing.
EDIT: I rebooted my GTab, still no go. But I can't get my Hero to print either. Weird.
EDIT #2: I went to manage my printers and see a job under the "Active Print Jobs", but nothing in the Completed area and nothing in my tray.

LOL! None taken.
Yes. Everything is on, registered, etc. I think the issue lies within the PC. It's 64bit (I hate x64) and it appears I can't load the Microsoft XML paper specification pack that is required (LINK, under "Why is my document not printing?").

tested last night and it printed the test page fine for me from the gtab, also than printed a pic and it came out nice.

Crappy. I'll try sending something to my home printer. I think there's an issue with my work PC being x64.
I wonder if it works with Cute PDF printer?

It works now. I rebooted my work PC, came back from lunch and had a tray full of stuff. It also works with Cute PDF printer!

[Q] Rooting & Profiles

Hey total noob question I guess but I'm excited to root my new hd+ and install the gapps zip BUT I haven't seen any info about what effect if any this will have on any child profiles I have setup already on the device. Has anyone done the root thing that has child profiles? Thanks.

I just added a child profile to my already rooted HD. When I was in the child profile, I could go to the other launcher I had installed, open the app drawer, and see all my non B&N apps. The only ones not showing were the ones blocked on the BN side. So I could open my Dolphin browser and browse without restriction.
You could make the B&N Home your default launcher so it was difficult but not impossible to get to the non-BN stuff, but then it would be a pain for you to use too.

Hmm. I was afraid of that. Thanks for the help!

Ok I'm close. I've rooted from the handy zips and from what I can tell the child accounts can't access notifications. The message is there but it can't be selected from the child accounts. So if I can figure out a way to slap a launcher shortcut up there I can have the home button go to the Nook launcher and a top button that goes to the Android one.

Yes, depending on the child though you can access applications by tapping the "Apps" on the application screen while holding the VOL- button too. Maybe we'll get 4.2 on CM10...?

I bet there's an app for that. Can't recommend one myself, but I'm pretty sure I've seen something mentioned around here before.
If you find something, be sure and let us know. I'm sure there are others that could use this.

I did find something. It's called "Notification Toggle" in the Play Store. I can't post links yet.
Basically you can set the notification area as a app drawer. Right now I just have a link back to the Nova Launcher.
I was wrong before though...child profiles CAN access the notification bar. I swear I tried 14 times and couldn't but then I tried it again and it came down. Very weird.
I really wish there was a way to hack the nook app list to let me just add Play store installed stuff there. Even if I had to hand code it would be worth it. I also discovered that my 2 year old could still get to the Nook store even though I had it disabled in his profile. It seems to let apps link back to it regardless. It kind of has me rethinking the content restrictions which is the whole reason I bought the thing.

Weird. I tried to access notifications from a child account and couldn't either. Was it after you added the app that you could?
That's too bad that the profile restrictions don't even seem to be working. The child profile I made just to test this out was for a 10 year old. I left all the initial setup options default, and I noticed that they were suppose to be able to look at kids stuff in the store. Browse but not buy I guess. But I didn't really look too much into it since I don't actually need it. Just mildly curious.

Yeah after banging on the notification bar for a long time today I figured it out. The child profile doesn't give you the same size "hotspot" that the normal one does but if you hit a tiny area between the notification icon and the dots showing what home screen you are on you can get it open, and once I figured out the teensy area I was trying to hit I could pull it up consistently. It's like the programming in the profile put a dead zone over the button but didn't cover it all the way.
As for the store, I just put a password on purchases. Apps that direct link to another app (like the Dr. Suess books) will take you right in regardless of how you have the store settings checked in parental controls.

[Q] How to turn off chrome popup about making page mobile ftiendly

I have recently seen this bottom.page pop up asking to make page mobile friendly. I have the desktop site tab on. How can I stop this from happening?

Shut off the desktop site tab.

I was not clear. I do not want the webpages in mobile form, so I want to that pop-up to be disabled.

Oh you were clear. Shutting off the desktop tab is the only way to eliminate that prompt.

Chrome did not do this until a few days ago. I suppose I could find an older version, but i would miss the updates in other areas.

Agreed, new "feature", could help on image heavy page when only need read text.
I noticed it only appears when at very top of loaded page and disappears when scroll just a few lines. It will reappear if you need/want it by scroll back to top.

Strange as Chrome claimed via Plsy Store to be last updated August 1st. I just flashed a new version of my ROM with an older Chrome, and I do not see the pop-up. Really wish it would be turned off.

Best guess: this is a server-side change on Google's part. This would explain how it could pop up now despite Cbrome not having been updated since August 3rd. It would also explain my receiving the prompt on the astronomy picture of the day site with desktop mode off. APOD doesn't have a mobile version and its pages are dominated by its astronomy photos, so I get prompted.

You can do this to disable it:
- Navigate to chrome://flags
- Search for text "Reader Mode"
- Change the setting of "Reader Mode triggering" to "Never"

Well color me blind. I didn't think Chrome for Android had chrome:// support, which is why I gave the answer I did. I personally got used to that popup, but it's good to know it can be removed, so I did.

Glad to be of some help on my first post to XDA ever. But to be honest, i found the solution on google and this thread at the same time. Don't know if i need to credit the source where i found the info. I'm not a developer and don't know if that is a proper thing to do.

Crediting your sources never hurts.

A couple of days I received my Mediapad M3 and I am very impressed with this tablet,the sound,speed...Is phenomenal....And two days ago I received an update from Google with the "GOOGLE Assistant"...Is extremely weird because Google don't have any plan to give Google Assistant to any tablet,so we have the first tablet worldwide with Google Assistant ?

That's because it appears as a phone to apps. If you change the dpi to make it appear as a tablet it will not get google assistant.

Yeah,but anyway we can enjoy the assistant in our tablet.....
Is nice anyway lol

You can set View Mode to Medium or Large and once you restart you will get Google Assistant. Then you can set it back to Small and you get to keep GA :good:

Question Help: Google discover not working!

Hi there,
I have Galaxy S21 ultra for the past 48 hours I've been getting the error "It looks like there was an error signing into your account" whenever I try to use Google Discover in the Google app or by using the far left home screen. Is this happening for anyone else?
I've tried all the normal troubleshooting methods, but unfortunately all not work.
Waiting for any brilliant thoughts?

I know this sounds like a "did you plug it in" type answer but....go to settings and make sure discover is turned on.

I did this one but does not work!

Same error on main account, works if I switch to another Google account that is on device.

As a temporary solution, I found this trick can solve this issue
The temporary fix seems to be turning off Web & App search history for your account.
1) From the Discover screen, press your account icon in the upper right corner.
2) Select "Search History" from the menu.
3) Turn off "Web & App Activity". Scroll down and select the "Pause" button to confirm.
4) Return to the Discover screen and refresh. You should see your news items again.

You need to download google news from Playstore.

Hi there Nobrain3000, you are absolutely correct!!!!!!!
I downloaded Google News on my Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus, this morning without seeing your post.
Decided to read articles through Google News. (not News & Weather)
Received an email update that lead me to MoMo131's post.
As I opened Google to disable search history, voila, Discover page filled with posts.
Checked and my search history is on.
Did the same on my Samsung Galaxy Tab A, Discover page filled with posts!!!
The answer is definitely, install "Google News" (not News & Weather) through the Play Store.
Thank you Nobrain3000, such an easy resolution.

I already had google news installed and it did not fix the problem. If I change the account to my secondary account it fills the discover feed but I have never used that account it would have relearn what content I want to see.

Hi Smartymcfly,
Your situation is different because the secondary account receives the discover feed. You could go back an forth to check what is different within each of the Google account's settings (I likely would do this and waste the better part of a day). Then I would delete the secondary account on the phone. Uninstall then reinstall Google News (Not News & Weather), ensure discover is on (yes obvious however worth a check), restart the phone, then read a few articles in Google News before opening Google. Then open Google and see if it works.
Please let me know how you make out, I am curious to see what is blocking your Discover feed. That darn feed is addictive. Something I like to do each morning and really upset my day when I could not use it.
Take care,
Toni
