One of my main reasons for using Chrome is the browser's speed - especially on 
slow and under-powered laptops. I am also sceptical towards installing 
extensions which might slow down the broser.

How much system resources does the Chrome extension use? 

If the resource-consumption is not so small that it can be ignored, even on 
small laptops: Could you ad a right-click-option to the a2c icon in Chrome that 
pauses it? (Today, it can only be disabled, which makes the icon disappear.)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open android2cloud
2. Type 'www.google.com' or 'google.com'
3. Click 'Send'

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
- Expected: New tab in Chrome with 'http://www.google.com' loaded
- Instead: New tab in Chrome with 'This webpage is not found'

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
- android2cloud: 0.1b
- Android OS: 2.2
- Device: Nexus One

Please provide any additional information below.
- It appears that any URL passed must have 'http://' (or similar protocol) 
pre-pended as it is not being resolved as a valid URL when it is sent to the 
cloud. Yes normally when copy-pasting a URL the protocol would be included, but 
with today's web, one does not always need to include what protocol to use when 
typing a URL.

Tested protocols:
- http
- https
- ftp

- Maybe it should validate/auto-correct URL via app before sending to the cloud?

The server should have an option to delete a user's data from it entirely, so 
as to effectively eliminate them from the system. No identifying data (e.g., 
everything but the Analytics data) should remain after this option is invoked.

was working great until today :(

Android app should be available on 1.5. Update the manifest file, and test with 
the lower build.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install the the chrome extension.
2. Install and run the android app.
3. Try and send a url.

What is the expected output? 
The URL being sent to my desktop.

What do you see instead?
App screen saying: "There's an error with your account . Try removing it and 
adding it again."

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
android2cloud 0.2.1. CM 6 Froyo 2.2 nightly on EVO

What handset are you using? What version of Android is it running?
See above.

Have you rooted or installed a variation or mod of Android on your phone?
Rooted, running 0804 nightly build of CyogenMod 6

If you don't mind sharing, what username are you using? What server?
This is the confusing part. The app tells me I can store the data anywhere I 
want and asks for a username and url. What data am I storing? What username and 
URL are you asking for? Using my open ID email and url doesn't work nor does 
using my gmail e-mail and http://gmail.com, I get a page not found. Using the 
default account information sends me to a page where I can approve or deny a 
request to my google account, but after doing so, the application still says my 
account isn't valid. When trying to share a url, the send button appears frozen 
and doesn't respond, likely due to my account info being invalid. Once again I 
wish i knew what account information your are looking for. What information is 
being shared (if any) to android2cloud.appspot.com?



Please provide any additional information below.
I was finally able to get it to work, but only after accidentally clicking the 
default account. Why isn't the account automatically selected after it being 
added if it's the ONLY account? There was nothing prompting me to select the 
account after adding it.

I'd like to know what data is being stored, and how I can use my own account to 
do so.

Thank you.

Since people are so paranoid about the links they send, it might be a good idea 
to include some form of encryption in all the 'clients'. This could be 
implemented by simply offering to specify a shared secret/password on all the 
involved devices (handheld, browser plugins, ...) and using that secret to 
encrypt/decrypt the data. (Mozilla Weave, a.k.a. Firefox does this with 
people's bookmarks/history/... before synching it to the Mozilla Cloud or one's 
self-hosted server. Only the metadata needed for the synchronization remains 
unencrypted.)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install android2cloud
2. Enter "http://www.google.com" in URL
3. Press Send button

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: Send button detects finger.
Experienced: Finger press fails to be detected.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
android2cloud 0.2.1

What handset are you using? What version of Android is it running?
Nexus One running Android 2.2 FRF91

Have you rooted or installed a variation or mod of Android on your phone?
No

If you don't mind sharing, what username are you using? What server?
I prefer not to share.

Please provide any additional information below.
Attempted reboot, reinstall, new orientations, all fail. Using the trackball 
will successfully highlight the Send button. Pressing the trackball fails to 
activate Send, and a finger press on the Send button removes the highlight.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Trying to switch Chrome to ping a custom server, or any server besides 
android2cloud.appspot.com

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
There should be a user-accessible settings screen that allows the server to be 
easily switched and authenticated against. Instead, users need to dive into the 
extension code, and manually change the server at several different points.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.install android2cloud on google chrome
2.icon shows up in chrome toolbar

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would like an option to hide the droid in clouds image because my toolbar is 
getting cluttered.  The app/extension combo is cool, but don't ever click it on 
the chrome side.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Version: 1.0.1.1, Windows Vista

It has been requested that I enable a history of links within the app itself.

The app should support being placed on the SD card on Froyo. Although small, 
this makes it a bit more portable, and has been requested.

"[R]ather than saying "Hey, set up your Google account!" first thing, it tells 
you "THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT.""

Should be easy to fix. Check if the settings *exist* rather than checking if 
they match the expectation, and if they don't, run an install screen.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install with Wifi on
2. use the app
3. Turn off Wifi
4. Use the app

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Link sent to the cloud over 3G

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Chrome dev under Win7

What handset are you using? What version of Android is it running?
Last release under Android 2.2

Have you rooted or installed a variation or mod of Android on your phone?
No

If you don't mind sharing, what username are you using? What server?
username = email, server = default one

Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Send a link to the server
2. Install android2cloud

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The application installs and authenticates. It should end there, or give a nice 
welcome page. Instead, it installs, authenticates, and immediately opens the 
latest link. To quote user feedback, it's "a bit jarring".

Google Analytics for Android 
(http://code.google.com/mobile/analytics/docs/android/#gettingStarted) would 
help determine usage, and help guide future improvements.

What I'd like to see:

Integration of intent that would be available from my app to open a webpage on 
user browser.

First, of all, sorry for my bad english, I'll do my best to make a clear and 
understandable request!

I am currently developer of a few apps in the Android Market. I would like to 
share link to my webpage or forum within the "about section" of my application.

But as you know, mobile browsers are slow and nor so user friendly. So my 
request is: 

Is that possible to send an intent to your application, to let the user open a 
link in his/her computer at home?
That would be usefull to share links. I can perform a check on these links and 
if you application is not installed, make a link to the Market to your app.

Thank a lot.

Have you considered developing and IE8(Internet Explorer) addon?
I'm sure I don't have to point out that IE8 is the most popular browser on the 
market right now...

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. install chrome extension from
   https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/hkelgkihphkegiaagbcgglfidabmgkgp


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect an authentication request to happen or something like that
all I see see is a new tab with "Redirecting..."

custome rom 2.1

Have you rooted or installed a variation or mod of Android on your phone?
yes

If you don't mind sharing, what username are you using? What server?
default server

Please provide any additional information below.

I have one account configured in the android2cloud app and everytime I use the 
app it says "There's an error with your account. Try removing it and adding it 
again". However there isn't an error with the account because when I click 
Change Account and select it from there it works fine. Maybe it's trying to use 
the dummy "Add New Account" account which can't be removed.

There should be a way to set a default account to use automatically, and 
obviously if you only have one account (not counting the dummy account) it 
should be the default.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Log in with Chrome or Android
2. Change the OAuth token or secret
3. Wonder why things stopped working for you

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to get a notification, letting me know that my login was rejected for 
this reason or that. Instead, I get a silent failure in Chrome, and probably a 
useless error report in Android.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install android2cloud on phone
2. rotate yourself (or the phone) 90 degrees

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It is bad security practice to ask for passwords when they are not needed. 

A better solution is just to pull a google account email address from the 
device and associate that with the google account connected to the website.

What I'd like to see:
The appearance of the app within the Send via option in the internet browser

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see a grant auth page as I did when installing android2cloud 
extension. But instead it stops with redirecting... in the page and flags the 
following error:
   Uncaught Error: No oauth token or token secret
When in the developer tool this is the section of code that it's flagging.

What I'd like to see:

The ability to send pages from a Chrome window on one machine, to a chrome 
window on another machine. Not quite within the concept of this app, but along 
the same lines.

What platforms (Android/Chrome/Firefox/etc.) I'd like to see it most on:
Chrome

I'd love to include binary uploads supported. Send the files to android2cloud 
through an Intent, and they'll be uploaded and hosted online, with the link 
delivered to Chrome. This does introduce a few issues (hosting costs, illegal 
content, etc.) but is technologically feasible.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Send a link with unicode (non-ASCII) characters

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should store the link like any other link. Instead, throws 500 KeyError.

Solution is to encode the link as utf-8 with link.encode("utf-8")

It's a common issue with apps and thankfully easy to fix by shoving the data 
into a bundle and getting it back out when you change to landscape and back

URLs tend not to have spaces. It was requested that I look into disabling the 
autospace feature found in Swype and similar keyboards when modifying the URL 
field.

Right now, if Chrome is closed and more than one link is sent, only the latest 
link will open.

I propose to add an id attribute to each link tag, and have the server return 
the list, if links/get is passed a "since" argument, or the latest link, if 
there's no argument.

Any plans for a Firefox extension? Chrome isn't my default browser, so this 
would be awesome.

I looked into the App Engine side of the code, and noticed that every time 
there is a request to GetLinkHandler you do the following:
1. Check for a link in Memcache for the requesting user
2. If there's a link in Memcache, return it
3. If no link in Memcahce, query the datastore

The problem is that for most users you will hit the datastore, because they 
won't have a recent link in Memcache (or because it was purged due to a cleanup 
in Memcache). When that happens, you run an expensive query.

Instead, what you can do is have an Author (user) model and store in this model 
the latest link (besides storing it in Links model). This way, if no link is 
present in Memcache, you query for the Author model and see if there's a link 
there.

Querying for the author will be a key based query (which is very cheap) rather 
than a GQL query (which is very expensive). I believe this can improve the 
performance of the app (== lowering your bills).

Keep up the good work :-)
@arikfr

What I'd like to see:

I think it would be very useful if you added an option to it so that all status 
bar message url's automatically gets sent to the cloud when the notifications 
show up, instead of you having to type the often tricky url (e.g. 
192.168.1.33:2112 for WiFi networks or 78.105.195.168:2112 for 3g networks)

This would decrease setup speed in a lot of situations, like when I want to 
setup a photo and file server from my phone, or use WiFi Keyboard as the input 
method. I.e, many apps that use computer-phone interaction and, when active, 
show messages like "Visit 192.168.1.33:2112 in your web browser" in the status 
bar.

What platforms (Android/Chrome/Firefox/etc.) I'd like to see it most on:
All

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Install android2cloud extension in Chrome

Add an option to skip the UI altogether, and send without clicking the send 
button.

Perhaps involves creating a Service, which receives the Send Intent, checks 
Settings. If silent_send is true, updates, and Toasts a confirmation. If 
silent_send is false, forwards the Intent to the Activity?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open Twitter

Please provide any additional information below.

Account is set up and chosen:
Android version: 2.2
Android device has been rooted/modified:
Android device: Droid 1
Carrier: Verizon
Country: USA
Version of android2cloud Android app: 0.3.1

It's been working fine for months. It worked today but suddenly stopped. I 
haven't made any modifications that would effect its functionality. When I try 
sending an item to the cloud, it says, "There was an error sending your request 
Please report this: Service Unavailable". 

What I'd like to see: I would like to be able to send arbitrary text from my 
Android phone and have it place on my computer's clipboard. This is sort of the 
reverse of an additional feature Chrome2Phone offers beyond just sending web 
pages (select text, right-click and do Chrome to Phone and it appears on the 
phone's clipboard). I have tried this with android2cloud using Clipper, the 
excellent clipboard manager, but it doesn't do anything on the other end. This 
would definitely be better than emailing the text to myself.

What platforms (Android/Chrome/Firefox/etc.) I'd like to see it most on: 
Android/Chrome

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.go to a mobile site on android (tried facebook and another)
