Unable to sycn my android device to my laptop Firefox computer.

I have set up sync on my laptop. First, how do I confirm that I have done that correctly?
When I go to my android device using the Firefox app, sync says "not connected". When I press Connect, the next screen says "To Activate, select "Pair a Device" on your other device. (that is different than what the picture shows on other help screens).
When I go to my PC and select pair a device and enter in the codes, the system "tries to connect; Connect to Sync" but it's always unsuccessful "waiting for other device". Then it times out and the options are to Try Again, Manual Setup, or Cancel. I attempted Manual Setup, but I could not find my Recovery Key anywhere (e.g., Options/Sync).
One other note. I have a new laptop. When I setup Firefox originally, it was on a different laptop that I no longer have. Is that part of my problem...?

Hi!!
Sorry for your issues.
First, from your comment, I'm not sure if your new laptop is connected to Sync. It seems that it may not be and that could be part of the issue. If this is the case and you don't have the Recovery Key, you should reset the account following the steps described here:
[[I've lost my Firefox Sync account information#w_ive-lost-my-recovery-key]]
If this is not the case or after doing it, please follow the steps described in this article: [[How do I set up Firefox Sync?]] starting in the second step.
Let me know if this works any better of what you were doing and if it doesn't work, please, let me know specifically where it's failing so we can troubleshoot the case together.
Best,
Ibai

Unable to connect to Android Device with MAC

Hi I have been trying to connect to my device ( Samsung Galaxy S4) with Edge Inspector but it literaly does nothing except to stand still on "waiting for a connection" on Chrome, wait on the WIFI Name + Loading circle on my device, crashing (unfortunateely Edge inspect has stopped) or waiting for a connection if add my machine's http://ipaddress/.
I have web sharing set up, I also tried using afp:// instead of http://. Still nothing.
What can I possibly be doing wrong?

Thanks for your swift replies Mark, apologies as things have been stupidly busy and I temporary uploaded my website as I was unable to view it with Edge Inspect. I think that the issue is not Edge Inspect but Magento. I do not know if you are familiar with the platform.

Is there a way to remotely remove an Android device from Firefox sync?

I don't currently have access to my Android device that has the Firefox app with Firefox Sync linked to my desktop browser. Is there a way to remotely unlink the Android app?

No, you will have to change the password of your sync account and re-add all other devices.

Setting Up Google Chrome Features for Cloud Printing from an Android Device

These steps are organized for optimal setup procedure and to decrease the time it would take to set this option up from start to finish. This is a lengthy process and is more for possibly troubleshooting issues that may arise during the setup of Google Chrome's Cloud Print feature. However, if you have an Android phone or tablet and are interested in being able to print virtually anything at anytime from anywhere from your phone to any brand of printer regardless of setup, there is a way. And this is how:
Open/Install Google Chrome onto a computer
Sign in with personal email to access the same Google Chrome account you intent to print from
Download Google Drive as an external storage you can access from anywhere
Open Google Chrome Settings (three lines stacked on top of each other)
Scroll down to the bottom of settings and click "Advanced Settings"
"Sign in/add printers/manage printers" are three of the print options you may see here
Follow this link for information on:
adding a classic printer to this option: https://support.google.com/cloudprint/answer/1686197?rd=1
how to add an HP ePrint email: https://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/printers.html#info-hp
on registering the email of that printer (HP registration page): https://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/setup-hp.html
8. add the printer to this section of Google Chrome
9. at the bottom of the page you will see "Send a test page/print test page" (that will be useful later)
10. at the top of this page is the option to share this printer with other Google Chrome users
11. Open Google Drive from www.google.com (likely displayed at the top of the webpage)
Can create a new document of any file type, upload, draw, etc
Leave computer on if intending to print from off the network or another location
The next steps are in regards to printing from a mobile device:
Install/open Cloud Print App
Add personal email account associated with Google Chrome
Select printer management if on the same network as the printer
Select Web tab and Google Drive if not on the same home network
Find earlier test page in Google Drive Documents
To locate other documents one could find many applications within this app or
In another app like Documents To Go, you can select to send previously saved documents (like one might send an email on the Android) to the Cloud Print app to open, view, and print
Print Test Document – this function means the printer has officially been added now
In Google Drive, but within the Cloud Print app, you can select the printer that was added to this network or from "Printer Management Options."
There are many ways to determine if your printer is still connected (offline, ready, etc.) but after confirmation that the printer is available, print jobs rest in the print queue until the printer receives the command to print. Then the documents are stored and available for reprinting.
Converts most print jobs to .pdf but prints most file formats from other applications as well
In Printer Management advanced settings
You can add a contact from the phone to use this printer
Set as default
See an extensive page of setup and printing options
*After a test print while the computer was off the document did not print and the printer appeared offline until approx. 4 min after computer was rebooted, then the document printed automatically.
Also if a document does not print, the troubleshooting guide on the phone suggested logging out of Google Chrome Cloud Print but I was unable to find that option it was suggesting (unable to log out)
To completely finish adding any additional Google Chrome accounts that wish to share this printer using the suggestion in step 10, you must log into the email that was added and select ADD PRINTER from within the email that was sent for the confirmation and follow the link and instructions on how to do this from your email.
Google Chrome and Google Drive support Windows, MAC, and Linux
You can also change share options, privacy settings, etc. but if you choose to go with the two-step verification process, you may not be able to add your Google Chrome email account to the app without a 16 digit code generated within Google Chrome Privacy Settings for your app (not recommended)
Now you have the option to also email any document to either the Cloud Print App or HP ePrint from the phone/tablet without actually accessing the app first. Locate the document, press the menu button for more options, select "Send to" and a list of available apps will appear. Choosing Cloud Print or HP ePrint sends the document or photo directly to the "print" function within the apps, instead of opening the app first and then searching for what it is you want to print.
**computer connected to printer must be on**
Requirements: a) Google Chrome, Google Drive, and Cloud Print mobile app b) These steps outline the use of an Android device on the network for setup c) will need the computer connected to the printer to be on at all times d) go to this webpage http://www.google.com/cloudprint/learn/ if you have any more questions.
Available features of Cloud Print App
a. Print all file formats from Google Drive (uploaded or create)
b. Has an internal notepad and drawing tool
c. Prints off all contacts and phone numbers as well as specified text messages
d. The scan option actually just means take a picture
e. Without Cloud Print Pro you get 5 days to test the features of printing Facebook pictures, Drop Box and Schedules before those features are no longer available

This document is to assist others in understanding and troubleshooting Cloud Print. This took me many hours to get setup, troubleshoot, and prepare a document that is simple and easy to understand. These are literally step-by-step instructions on how you could be able to print from any Android device to any printer connected to a computer that has Google Chrome. You would then be able to use the Cloud Print App without having to use HP ePrint to print to any printer connected to any computer (USB or wireless) basically allowing you to print virtually anything from your Android.

I need to rotate a pdf in my adobe reader on my android device.

I am new to using this app on my android and am unable to rotate mydocuments. Also, how do I save highlights and notes? Help me fully utilize this to the fullest!

The free Reader can do very little more than reading (i.e. opening) PDF files. It certainly cannot rotate documents permanently. If you were in a computer, I would suggest using Acrobat, but I do not know if there is a version for Android devices.

I no longer can access my old desktop at all, is there a way to get the bookmarks from just the Sync account or an Android device to a new machine?

My desktop that I use for my primary device's hard disk died recently and my laptop shortly after got hit with a virus. This has left me unable to get to any of my bookmarks that were stored on my Sync account.
However, my cell phone still has all the old desktop links. Is there a way to get Sync to get those from the cloud onto the deskop, or do I have to start a slow process of sending links from my phone to my PC one at a time?
Thank you for your help on this.

Hi!
You will need to get your Sync Key from your Android Device and then follow this simple steps:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20sync%20Firefox%20settings%20between%20computers#w_what-if-im-not-near-my-first-computer
In order to get your Sync Key from your Android Device you will need this add-on:

This should work. Let me know if you need further help.

Change Android Device Name Using RD client - Is it possible?

Hello guys, i am having a problem.
I configured my RDC on windows server just fine, i can acess it through ddns.net without any problems.
However, i have some software installed on my windows server that only works with pre-authorized PC-NAME ... so my question is, where or how can i change my android device name whenever i use the RDC app?
Whenever i try to start that software i get the message "unable to open program ... D5803_4.4.4 not authorized to open it"
(D5803_4.4.4 is my android device name) ... how can i change this?
thanks!

Hi,
It seems there is no such way to change the RDP client name.
Thanks for your understanding!

IPad guest users cannot see YouTube videos but Android devices can

Hi all,
I am in the process of moving a guest SSID from a local Wireless LAN Controller to it being anchored for security reasons to another WLC in the DMZ. I have created a test SSID which is anchored in the DMZ and have found that everything is working perfectly except for YouTube videos. While those guest users that are connected on Android devices can watch YouTube videos just fine, those connecting via iPads or iPhones are unable to watch these videos. Any ideas?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi George,
Thank you for your reply.
I did two packet captures: once with a working Android device and once with a failing iPad. There did not seem to be any difference in packet sizes when trying to download a YouTube video (both seemed to be around 1368 bytes per packet). The packet capture with the failing iPad showed a number of TCP resets and attempts to connect to 224.0.0.251 MDNS) - that seemed to be the only difference with the packet capture from the working Android device.
What I did notice when looking at the existing local WLC (from where the iPads can successfully connect to YouTube - remember that they are failing when they are tunnelled to a test SSID in the DMZ) the local WLC contained a Layer 3 MGID for 224.0.0.251 with a number of users in that group which were iPad users. When I looked at the anchor WLC in the DMZ it did not have this MGID listed - or any other Layer 3 MGID for that matter.
Your comments and ideas please!

Synchronising contacts on an Android device

LG Vortex (VS660) unable to update to Android 2.2.2

Hello, I have the LG Vortex (VS660) on Verizon, and I am unable to update Android OS to version 2.2.2.
I am currently running Android 2.2, and I wish to update to either 2.2.1 or 2.2.2 (preferably the latter).
However, attempting to update by Settings > About Phone > Software Update > Status results in the following:
Source: Verizon Wireless
Status: Service Unavailable
Code: 503
Date: June 2, 2012
Time: 4:02 PM
Settings > About Phone > Software Update > Check New gives me this:
SERVICE UNAVAIABLE
Check for Software Update when service is available.
However, the service is never available. I have four bars and Wi-Fi turned on. The Wi-Fi should be turned off automatically when I try to update, however this does not happen. Turning of Wi-Fi manually first, then trying to update yields the same result. This leads me to believe that the phone is not actually checking to see if a software update is available. Additionally, checking the status usually displays the wrong time. The time is usually a couple hours behind, which also makes me think that the phone is not actively checking for a software update, although it is supposed to when I manually check, of all times. I'm really not sure what might have caused this issue, and in all the time I've had the device, not once has something popped up telling me that my firmware is not up-to-date, and that I can update it.
I have never done any sort of rooting and / or hacking in any way, despite how much I would like to so that I could remove all of the bloatware that is installed on it by default from both Verizon Wireless and LG Electronics. However, I don't think it would even be worth it, considered how under-powered the phone is and that the hardware is a bit dated.
Has anyone else had this issue, either on the same phone or another Android device? Does anyone have any ideas of what I should try?
I'm hoping the Code: 503 should be able to provide some sort of clue as to what is wrong, however I could not find any place to enter error codes on either this site or on LG's corresponding website.
I would prefer not to have to visit a Verizon Wireless store, because often I have found the employees there to not be very helpful. I am rather knowledgeable when it comes to computers and mobile devices in general, although I'm much more familiar with Apple's Mac and iPhone platforms than I am with Microsoft Windows or Android.
I have both a Mac and a computer running Windows 7 at my disposal, and I have attempted to plug in my device via USB to both, with no luck. On the PC, I installed all of the drivers I could find from LG, and the computer does recognize the device when it is connected. However, when I run the LG Mobile Support Tool, it says that the Vortex is already up-to-date. This is not the case, though. I know a couple people who also have the Vortex, and neither of them have ever had any issues updating their devices. Both were able to update first to Android 2.2.1, and then to 2.2.2 flawlessly.
Is there any way that I can download the official firmware (version 2.2.2) online from either LG or Verizon, and try to install that on my device? Perhaps installing Android 2.2 over the previously existing version that is running on my phone would help. Is this possible?
I know that the Android platform is open source, but I assume I wouldn't just be able to download Android 2.2.2 from Google and install it on the Vortex, considering that both LG and Verizon have contributed to creating a custom version of Android, which is what my phone, like all others, came pre-installed with. Is what I'm saying correct?
Thanks in advance.

It's always like this, no matter if I turn on or off tethering.
mzneverdies, donniezazen,
Ok, this seems to work with android devices but not with iOS. Also when I run detect while my iPhone is plugged in, device list is empty:

No raw devices found.
Main goal is to return support of iOS.

MF4890 - Unable to print from Android.

I have a brand new wireless MF4890 that I am unable to get to print from my android device. It seems as though the Canon Mobile printing app isn't available for android devices? My guess the reason for this is that there is no drivers for Canon's UFR II protocol. Does anybody know if the mobile printing app is coming to Android soon? It would be a shame to have to return this printer. Thank you.

Hi uofaer,
The imageCLASS MF4890dw is a good choice, however the Mobile Printing capability supports printing via iPhone and iPad mobile devices. A Mobile App for Android devices has not been announced and is unknown at this time. Should you decide to stay with your MF4890dw, it is a great all-around machine and offers many useful and convenient features. Whichever you decide, I am sorry for any inconvenience experienced.
