Greetings, programs.

I am trying to find a Firefox disk image download for chromeOS because I have a Chromebook that cannot access browser websites due to district restrictions. I can't download it off of my Windows PC or my MacBook because it will download to their disk images. I have tried downloading the Linux disk image, but it didn't wok and I think it was because it was for 32-bit and the Chromebook I have is 64-bit.

Is there an app or extension that lets you control your (android) phone with your Chromebook?

I'm asking because I can't enable the Play Store (it uses almost all of my resources) but I still want to play games (like Minecraft) with the speed of my phone

I just cant do it anymore, I own an HP Chromebook x360 14a-ca0060nr, and it sucks!!

Everything about it is just awful!

• It doesn't have enough ram for more than an app at a time (even after every optimization possible)
• The screen is so washout and gray I can barely watch videos on it, and that's not to talk about the horrible viewing angles it has!
• The internal storage is a not upgradable 32gb emmc chip, with not even an SD card slot for expansion
• And the processor is also slow as mud, but I dont really do that many cpu intensive task

All that said, the only reason I keep this piece of ewaste around is because...

IT'S KEYBOARD IS AMAZING!!

I swear! the keyboard is the best I have ever typed on, even better than the one on my desktop, and the trackpad is so big and accurate is just a joy to use for gestures and navigation.

Everything! About this machine sucks except for those two things, and I have not Idea what to do about it.

I've gone to different stores and stopped by to try the keyboards of even the most expensive laptops they have available, and just there is nothing like the one this machine has. It's the combination of things, It's not only that this machine has a keyboard that is perfect in both size and feel, is also the fact that the whole body of the laptop is made of pure metal, is heavy af! But that makes it so the surface in which you type does not have ANY flex at all, and since the tackpad is so large, to accommodate that the laptop has a huge chin which on the bottom, which make for the perfect palm rest, I have written so much since I first got this thing and it's all because of this just AMAZING keyboard.

But I can't do it anymore, it's killing me, I want to do so much more with my device, and the only reason I can't do it is because both it's memories are so small.

If anyone know of a device which has the same style of keyboard, or has a similar experience, I beg you to help me, or else I might find myself in the awkward position of having to do hardware modifications to a Chomebook, and I really don't want to do that

Thanks in advance

I see there's an option on ChromeOs to connect an android phone to it, but I was wondering if I got an android tablet, If I could Sync it to the Chromebook so it could work as an ecosystem like Apple does.

Just got a new Chromebook. Getting Aw, Snap constantly. Can't figure out what is causing it. I disabled all my extensions, deleted cache, switched to beta to force an update. Keeps happening and making me want to throw this thing. I feel like I haven't tried much, but I don't really know what else to do.

Any help is appreciated.

(Sorry for an blurry image phone camreas do be like that)

Hi, this is my first post here as I'm new and I need help. One of my cats has walked on my keyboard and now it isn't working and everyone I click on a video, the link downloads and doesn't play on the browser. I'm not sure how to fix this. Has anyone else had this happen?

I am using Ms Egde as a PDF reader for my Chromebook since its Co-Pilot and translate functions are quite useful. However, the Pinch-To-Zoom function does not work so that it is a bit annoying to use.

Do you have any method to solve this problem?

hi, im just wondering what sites would take old and broken chromebooks for a little bit of money, like recycling and all that.

cant really donate them to places like goodwill or schools because what are they going to do with broken chromebooks lol

Will it work and is it good?

I'm looking for a Chromebook Plus (AMD or Intel) as an alternative to a Pixel Tablet to run Android apps.

The main reason why is the support (software and security) longevity on Chromebooks are far longer compare to Android tablets. So I have more for my money than a tablet.

The Android apps I use the most are companion apps for board games and of course a few games too. All the apps I use are also available on iOS and have tablet support.

But I have no real world experience running Android apps on ChromeOS. So I went reading through a lot of post on this reddit to find out and, it seems that some people are having a great experience and some don't.

So my question is it worth taking a chance buying a Chromebook mostly for running Android apps or should I just deal with the shorter support of a Pixel Tablet ?

Thank you !

Im planning on using an old Chromebook as a work laptop but I want it as updated as possible. How do I do that? Also I don't care about saving any dada on it if that makes it easier

Remmina running on the Linux VM has a setting called "grab all keyboard events" which is helpful, e.g., to direct keyboard shortcuts to the remote system instead of the local system. I use it a lot for Windows rdp sessions to send alt-tab to the remote Windows system. This suddenly stopped working for me. I also use an old Windows app that doesn't get numeric keystrokes properly. I toggled the setting many times and uninstalled and reinstalled remmina, but no joy. Could this be due to a change in ChromeOS 127? I got a minor OS update this week and am now on 127.0.6533.132. Was something changed in keyboard handling? Alt-tab in Remmina now cycles through my ChromeOS windows instead of my remote Windows windows.

I've got an Acer spin 714 Chromebook. I was able to select sounds for each type of notification I would receive (I think). I'm hearing all these different tones but have no clue which sound tone belongs to what notification..... I've looked in both settings. I've checked everywhere I can think of. I feel so silly. It's probably staring me right in the face but I don't see it....OR......am I mixing it up with my kindle....Did I ever really set the sound-tones on my Chromebook? Please help......

I've tried turning on developer mode and to do that you have to enter the recovery screen. According to everything I've seen you're supposed to hold esc + refresh and then tap the off button. It worked one time but I didn't know I was on the screen I needed to be so I closed my Chromebook and since then I have been unable to do it. Any advice?

i have some ear buds jlab go air pops. when i use with my phone they sound fine but when i use them with my chrome book the audio suddenly is like distorted not as clean. and this is all audio youtube files and games. but every other device they work fine.

I need a CB to be my second machine, to use only on the go. So being light, very light, is super important. A decent keyboard is almost as important as that. Specs are not super important. I am a writer and my main use for it on the go (if not the only use) is writing on Chrome-based apps. It has to be cheap (did I mention I am a writer?). Suggestions are welcome. Thanks!

After update 127, the PS4 controller no longer works, not even with a USB cable or Bluetooth, can anyone help?

Hey all,

I'm running into an issue with an Android app (Mixing Station) on my Chromebook and I'm hoping someone here might have a solution.

Problem: The app isn't displaying correctly—specifically, it seems like the app isn't properly filling the ARC container. When I open the app, the interface appears to be cropped or doesn't scale properly to fit the screen. It leaves portions of the UI grayed, lined, and mostly inaccessible to touch, which is obviously a big problem when trying to mix audio. Several ChromeOS updates ago it worked flawlessly. Then, after one update, the UI would only display properly in horizontal orientation. After this most recent update, the app does not display correctly in any orientation. I've no indication what, in ChromeOS, would have changed to cause this, or how to fix. (Images included)

What I've Tried:

• Resizing the Window: I've tried manually resizing the app window and switching between full-screen and windowed modes, but the app still doesn't fill the container properly.
• Display Settings: I’ve also tinkered with the Android display settings via ChromeOS’s “Manage Android preferences,” adjusting the display size and font size, but this didn’t resolve the issue.
• Enabling various ARC related chrome://flags.
• Force Stopping the App: Restarting the app after force-stopping it didn’t change anything.
• App Update: Checked for any available updates for the Mixing Station app, but I’m already on the latest version.
• Reinstalling the App: Uninstalled and reinstalled the app, but the display issue persists.
• Screen Rotation: Tried rotating the screen to see if a different orientation would help, but no luck there either.

Device Info:

• Chromebook Model: Acer CP311-3H
• ChromeOS Version: 127.0.6533.132 (64-bit)
• Mixing Station App Version: 2.1.3(419)

Is anyone else experiencing this issue with Mixing Station or other Android apps on ChromeOS? Are there any specific settings or workarounds that could help get the app to display correctly?

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Seeking recommendations for a chromebook that is light-weight, portable, solidly built, and has as decent specs as possible for a budget of £250 (£300 max). Would be happy to explore second-hand or refurbished models. Any suggestions are much appreciated!

Wich one would you choose between those two chromebooks and why ?

Thank you !

Edit : I should have mention that I don't have any special needs apart running Android apps and I can live without the Flip feature.

It is more about getting the most for my money from a a hardware point of view.

If you are getting the message to restart, better back up what you don't want to lose. Mine did not survive it and needed more than just a restart.
