[TUT] Installing Cloud to device for google Chrome & Firefox HERE!

spazoid · May 24, 2010

Google Chrome to Phone Extension enables you to send the link for the current open tab to your Android device. Simply
click on the phone icon and the link will be pushed to your device. You will be required to log in with the same account used by
your Android device.

Setup instructions

GOOGLE CHROME!!!
----------------------

Download the Google Chrome to Phone Extension for your Google Chrome browser HERE
Download the Google Chrome to Phone Extension application to your Android device from HERE (make sure Settings->Applications->Unknown Sources is checked). Note that this application requires Android 2.2 ("Froyo") or later.
Start the Google Chrome to Phone Extension application on the phone.
Choose the account to register with (this must match the account you sign in to with Google Chrome to Phone Extension on the desktop).
Click on "Register Device" to register your phone with the Google Chrome to Phone Extension service.

FIREFOX
--------------------------------

This is done the same way for Firefox as it is for Chrome, except that you need to use this extension for the firefox browser. Do not use the Newer plugin that it will suggest you to use, because it does not download properly.You use the same extenstion for the phone for Chrome. (Thanks momentarylapseofreason)

Warning: When downloading this plug-in,it is NOT verified by firefox. I am not help responsible. You ask own risk.

the maps link doesn't work for me either. maps opens up, but just shows current location.

Ya, unfortunatly I don't think that the directions portion is working yet.

Seems like every thing else..ie, youtube, webpages...yada yada are working

When you send a maps link to your phone, it just sends whatever is in your address bar, which is probably just maps.google.com if you're getting a blank map on your phone.

Click the "Link" button in the top right corner, copy the link in the box, paste into a new tab, THEN click send to phone, and voilà!

Thanks Paul22000. Very Nice

wow, that's pretty slick

y2whisper · May 24, 2010

Paul coming in with the clutch play. thanks man

Is there anyway to push directions directly to the Maps App or does everything have to be opened in the phone browser?

Thanks!

should automatically do that when you check Launch browser/maps directly on the app on your device

It doesn't There for you have to use the alternate method

If you prefer Firefox, here is the link to that version instead

I'll just post this encase other people run into this problem. If you are copying and pasting the maps link make sure you are using maps.google.com I tried it with google.com/maps and the copy past link wouldn't work.

Hope this helps!

That's fabulous, thanks for the heads-up! Is this the extension and app from google itself? why is it then so rudimentary compared to the keynote demo?

Is it me, or are the notifications for this permanatly on full blast?

Does anyone know whether you can you use cloud to device as a way to dial out on Nexus without touching the phone?

Potentially, I believe so, but you would need to write something up. Not sure what all commands are allowed from the cloud API

Hell yeah man, thanks a lot. I've been looking for this since I got the update.

If you use pauls method of copying the link to your browser It should already do that, as long as you checked that box in the app on the phone, that allows you to do so
