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"?

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!

Honeycomb Browser - Identify as standard?

Some websites I visit using the honeycomb browser identify the nook as a mobile device and, thus, launch a mobile page. Is there a work around for this? I could have sworn there used to be a setting in froyo but I can't even find it on my phone now so I have no idea where that was before.
Thanks!

tried this but it didn't seem to change anything:
to change the user agent to desktop in the stock browser, type this in the address bar:
about:debug

debug may not be part of the preview sdk
Use an alternate browser for desktop mode until the full 3.0 AOSP is available

about:debug does work. type it in the address bar, hit enter and it opens up a debug section in the settings menu. from there you can change your user agent setting to desktop

figured it out!! i thought an actual debug screen was supposed to pop up so assumed it didn't work. re-read what you said, went into settings, and there it was! nice! thanks!

Two things on the stock browser:
A: it does have a memory leak, be forewarned, I found it using 175Mb of ram sometimes.
Do enable the edge screen controls, that is something I bet apple is kicking themselves over, that is awesome.

[Q] Disabling Mobile View?

Hey there,
My HTC Desire had the option where I could turn off Mobile View and get the pages shown just like I would had I sat at home from my PC. But is that option not available on the 2x? . I generally detest using mobil view and prefer the full on view at any given time.
But so far I am at a loss in regards to finding that setting on the LG Optimus 2x, considering its not a browser setting that I can select or change. But has anyone stumbled over this and found a working solution?

You should be able to do this with hidden menu, and or with another browser.

If you write about:debug in the address bar, press go, and then go to the browser settings, the UAstring option should now be available.

I tried that one and it didn't work. Some mobile sites still threw me to their mobile view edition when I used that. But apparently using HiddenMenu and setting it to Mozilla changed the issue entirely

Correction,
Neither HiddenMenu NOR about:debug will allow me to view sites like Engadget in their normal editions, but forces their mobile view on me with no way to change
And Mozilla for Android still throws me to the same site.

Use Dolphin HD.

If its another browser then I am not really interested :/. I would prefer a solution that works with the native android browser. HTC could make such a setting which WORKED. Im baffled why LG opted to keep that setting out.

I totally agree with out. However, using another browser is the fastest solution right now.
Setting the user agent to desktop in the standard browser using about:debug should work but does not always as you experienced.

I just don't see how it will work in another browser when both the Native one, as well as Mozilla Firefox web both fails with a bang?

Doesn't work either, even if different UaStrings set through its settings . WHY oh LG WHY have you messed it up so that we can't watch webpages like we can do at home instead of being forced to watch mobile view >_<
So far the only solution is to basically visit the sites, and try to find the "link" on site to change it from mobile view to regular view and hope its saved in a cookie so it keeps the setting :/

Read my post thank you!!.
As previously stated I have already tried installing Dolphin as well as Firefox. Tried every sodding profile there was, Android, iPhone, Desktop etc and NONE of these made Mobile view vanish.
Even tried about:debug as well as HiddenMenu and those don't do the trick for me either.
The ONLY thing that seems to work is going to the sites and manually clicking that I want the regular site. But then its not the browser doing anything, its cookies that does the talking which somewhat defeats the purpose. I mean on my HTC it was a simple checkmark I had to remove and it just worked. On my LG it seems like its an insurmountable feat to actually get regular PC view and get rid of mobile view the "right way"

Meh thats just weird considering were all on the same stock rom still and these were all pushed out with the same browser
send from mah magic toaster

I cant's say I disagree with that. It makes no sense to be honest, ie why it wont work on some LG's and how HTC has been able to make a "switch" for it that actually works and doesn't require you to do the cookie route.

yeap,
I've test too and Mobile View can't is disabled but some website check is the visitor send WAP information, and with the debug mode, some WAP information from the Browser are sended...

I chatted with LG Support Germany 5 minutes ago and asked about this issue and the supporter confirmed this problem and there's no general workaround right now but the issue is know and already reported...as he said.

[Q] UA (user agent) settings on LG Thrill

hi fellas, i have searched here as well as google and cant find a solution. i have an LG Thrill, bone stock and i hate not being able to view web pages as i would on my desk top. on my iphone i had UAFaker and could toggle between the settings. i have tried the "about:debug" in the browser addy bar but that still does nothing. any advise?

Try going and downloading any cut from market once installed use it to make a shortcut, pick activity then change uastring

As far as I can tell the stock browser on the Thrill has no ui option to change the user agent. I recommend 'xscope browser' from the market. Its pretty close to the stock browser visually and has the ua change option to view the pages as android, desktop, and can even change to fake the ua of the iphone. There are a ton of browser apps available in the market and most have this function built in. Thats just the one I personally recommend.
Of course if you insist on using the stock browser then this will be of no use to you

"Any Cut" is a program used for making shortcuts. You would search market for "Any Cut" then open it up, choose new shortcut, then activity, then change uastring. I haven't tried don't know if it will work or not but if you want desktop change the uastring to firefox's uastring. Either that or follow what aria was saying and get another browser. I use opera MOBILE not MINI and it has an option in settings/advanced to change from mobile and desktop, opera mobile works great and will give you full web browsing. It's nice having a full browser, I hate videos on youtube being "not available on mobile"

Thanks guys I'll give this stuff a better look when I get home later today

[APP] Via Browser, question on scripts

Hi there,
I've been using this Via browser on my phones. It's my favorite android browser with excellent interface and speed. In case you haven't heard it, here is the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=mark.via.gp
In the setting menu, there's an item of "Scripts" and something under it already.
Can someone explain to me what that script does?
Thank you.

I saw ads on the OH Web browser just now and realize the 7 days free trial is over.
How annoying are those ads ! But I don't want to pay for a browser.
For dark mode, I go back to chrome (with flags enable it). For ad-free quick searching/browsing, I still like Via.
Is it possible to write a script to enable dark mode in Via?
