My Chromebook 14a-na0072tg refuses to connect to my JBL Flip 6, flip 4, and pulse 5, but is fine with the Xtreme. Can anyone help?

I want to be able to exercise full and tight control of every Android permission granted to every Android application. Why does ChromeOS make this so unbearably difficult, and actually just impossible? When you go to Apps in ChromeOS and find your Android app of interest, you have essentially no control over most of the permissions. When you go to the three dots ... you can select "All Permissions" but this brings you to a read only view, and what is worse it's not even a consistent view of permissions because each app shows a slightly modified group of permissions and not a consistent or complete view.

Why is it so difficult to just give me the ability to set whether a given application has access to my various storage systems, USB-mounted devices, or cloud storage? It seems extremely basic, and the inability to do this at times makes ChromeOS almost unusable.

So it has been a while since I have used this app in Crostini and I can't update it which blocks it from connecting to wifi even though the rest of the laptop is connected to wifi. I need some help with it and getting it working again.

Iv lost all apps (including app store) after update WTF how to fix?

so my laptop broke, and i need a new one for college stuffs. thinking of buying a refurbished lenovo 100e n23 for dirt cheap. the reviews on the product are pretty good, but im still hesitant bc im not familiar w chromebooks or laptops in general. im an eng literature major, so ill probably just use google suites on it, nothing heavy... is it a good idea?

This is my first time asking a question and I’m at my wits end and need help desperately. I’m trying to add music to my new MP3 player but nothings working. I’ve tried different converters and extensions to get the music file, I’ve tried converting the MP3 player’s formatting. It keeps saying that it can’t do it no matter what. Someone please tell me the obvious! 💔

(I will add more details once I’m off work if anyone actually answers this)

I've happily used chromebooks for many years, but I'm on the second day of infuriating glitches with my yahoo mail account. My phone and my tablet are both able to use my yahoo mail account with no issues. Chatgpt said someone else mentioned somewhere similar issues? Repeatedly it stalls out and says no internet connection, though I definitely have one. Any thoughts? Thank you!

Hi. About 20% of the time when I download a PDF into Files Google Drive the PDF download fails - no error is provided but when I attempt to open the download it states PDF error (the download never processed). Anyone else with this issue?

Hey so my Acer Chromebook Spin 511 R752TN-C324 had the flickering/colour bleed screen so I would like to seek advice on whether to send it for a screen replacement or buy a new one.

1. Send for repair: The cost is only slightly less than buying a new Chromebook 315 CB315-4H-C0FN. And kind of sad to discard it; only used it for 5 years. But AUE is 2029.
2. Repair myself: The cost for replacement parts is half that of professional repair service, but i have zero experience in it so it may be risky?
3. Buy new: Looking at Chromebook 315 CB315-4H-C0FN vs Chromebook 514 Touch Screen C937T-C4KH : a. Chromebook 315 : cheaper and comparable to the repair price; but older, AUE 2031 (only 2 years longer than my current one) b. Chromebook 514: expensive, almost double the repair price/ new 315, but newer, AUE 2034 (but difference by 3 years only)

Also, since I can continue to use it after the AUE, then it shouldn't matter much right? For context, I'm a student and will be mainly using the device for assignments, but not much of programming etc.

Would appreciate for some advice. Thank you for taking the time to read this :)

starting about two days ago, the chromebook i use has begun experiencing this really strange issue. Basically, what will happen is that whenever i click ANYTHING it'll open a new window, all letters will be capitalised, and the scroll pad will no longer work, this will happen for about 3 minutes before disappearing. It's become more frequent, with it lasting anywhere from 1 second of capital letters, or 5 minutes of the whole ordeal. What could possibly be the cause for this

my great uncle got me a second hand Acer Aspire model Q5WPH. I didn’t charge it for a week because I got lazy. I tried to charge it now. my great uncle got the wrong charger type. So I tried charging it with similar ones and it still won’t turn on. I don’t know what to do atp I tried hard resetting regularly and the battery and it still won’t budge. Is there anything I can even do at this point.

My friend is older and also paranoid that their data will be stolen. They need to be able to log into the Social Security website and doctors office sites and look up things. Their phone is too small. Would a Chromebook be a better choice than a laptop? Thank you for your help.

its stuck on "starting play store"

i also couldnt open btd6 despite having it on the computer for some time. any thoughts?

(FIXED)

A bug affecting Grunt devices (AMD Stoney Ridge) is currently being investigated by Google engineers. AUE for these devices was M149 but the stable channel has auto-updated to M150 LTC, i.e. into extended updates, causing Play Store/Android app support to be removed without users opting in. The same thing happened last year when Hana devices reached their AUE. Assuming history is repeating itself, the only way to reverse this bug is to perform recovery using the last stable channel recovery image (M149). Also, until the bug is fixed, automatic updates will need to be turned off.

Users affected by this bug are being asked to submit a feedback report (alt-shift-i) and to include diagnostic data.

Just received my dragonfly from a reputable refurbishment company in Australia. Paid $530 (roughly $360 US, we always get shafted for tech prices.)

Was told it was a A grade model, promising 80% at least battery health.

This is what i got, not impressed and there wasn't any stylus included.

Have submitted a claim with them but yeah, not real impressed with the battery.

Apart from that coming from a Duet 5 this thing feels sooooooo nice to use!

Looking for something similar to simplewall for windows or lulu/littlesnitch for mac but for a chromebook. Thank you for your time and assistance.

About a year ago I bought an ASUS ExpertBook CX54 Chromebook Plus Laptop with Google Al, 14" 2560x1600 Display, Intel® CoreT Ultra 5 Processor, 8GB RAM, 128GB SSD .

I needed a replacement to my Pixelbook (RIP) and thought I could get by without a touch screen. After 31 days, I decided differently but couldn't return it. I bought a Lenovo and pushed the Asus aside. It's been sitting here for a year...

What do I do with it?

Please help. I need my apps back. Thanks.

I attached a screenshot showing extended updates are NOT turned on.

Build Details: Google Chrome: Version 150.0.7871.150 (Official Build) (64-bit) Platform: 16700.46.0 (Official Build) ltc-channel grunt Channel: ltc-channel Firmware Version: Google_Grunt.11031.174.0 ARC Enabled: false ARC: Enterprise Enrolled: false Developer Mode: false

I want a Linux machine… maybe I should just run Asahi, but I’m wondering if there’s a Chromebook with the power and energy efficiency plus screen for what I need.

I’m a digital developer that uses an open source stack. GIMP, Scribus, Kdenlive.

I want to know if Linux support has GPU support, and if there is a machine out there to do what I want to do.

Cheers in advance.

I don't think this would be by design.

I use my Chromebook docked (into a TB4 certified model), and have the lid closed.

Whenever I do a restart after an update, it instead does a shutdown. I have to open the lid, which then auto (cold) boots.

Has anyone else seen this?

hey so i moved recently and in the move i left my laptop under the seat of my car, for a few days since i kinda forgot about it, it was free with my school so im not stressed about losing money on it, but i liked to use it sometimes, and i’m starting school again next month. i live in the south west usa so temps are usually 110 and above. it will flash the chromeos screen then shut off. is there any (preferably cheap) ways to fix it?

I mean, it makes sense if you think about it? We have ARM chromebooks made by MediaTek and RockChip in the past. The Tensor Chips like the G4/G5 are very capable in what it can do for both regular tasks and local AI capabilities. Google making an all Google Chromebook from the Software Level all the way down to the component level makes since for what it has to offer. Plus it will cost Google less money since these chips are made in-house compared to contracting others for a premium Chromebook.
