Hi,
Does anyone know of an android widget that will just perform a HTTP GET on a url without opening the browser? (I have a simple RESTful service URL I just want to hit). Ideal would be if the icon and text were customisable, but happy with just a bookmark that does't load the browser..
Cheers,
Craig

Dear all,
I've search the forum for an answer but failed so far...
I have Opera set as my default browser. It seems to work for everything (links from google maps search etc...), except for the web links which are in my contacts. They always open in IE...
I've tried to have a go at looking into changing the registry, but my knowledge is quite limited in that field...
I wonder if anyone would be willing to help, give me some direction...
Many thanks in advance...
Hi,
I'm having an issue getting a favourite web page to the start menu. I found my Opera Favourites but when I place the one I want in to the start menu it opens in IE.
Is there any way of having an Opera Favourite in the start menu?
You somehow stopped Opera being the default browser (installed v10 perhaps?) Go into Opera's options and reset it as the default browser.

No it's deffo set as default browser. When I click to open a link from emails and such it opens Opera. It's just all the Opera Favouries seem to be IE links. I don't understand it.
Seems like a simple thing, but I can't find a good solution.
I have some gdocs spreadsheets that I want to download (as xls or ods) and then edit via thinkfree. Yes I know you can do gdocs spreadsheets online via browser on my sgt. However, the gdocs spreadsheet mobile is not to my liking.
There are several Market apps that do downloading or synching of gdocs to/from android. A couple I have tried are 'my docs' and 'gdocs' but these don't support spreadsheets or I couldnt figure out how to make them do spreadsheets; they worked ok for text docs.
The online spreadsheat, on a desktop, does have a good save as feature. However, google is too smart and won't let me use the desktop experience from my sgt, even when I ask (nicely).
And, I prefer a low or no cost solution. I do see that Documents To Go suggests that you can do this; that isn't low/no cost.
Any other options?
Oh I tried think free online, too. Despite having some sort of 'login with google account' feature; I didnt see how it provides links or other techniques for getting at my gdocs. Maybe I am doing it wrong. Oh and I'd like to avoid signing up for another online service too. Besides I do shared authoring of some gdocs; no way could I get others to switch to a new online docs service.
___________
Found a solution. Reading closely the 'not suppurted browser' page, you can add an override flag (to the submitted url) that instructs the full google docs web experience to skip th browser check. By doing this, I can get the docs browser page of google docs that has a control that allows me to download my spreadsheets.
The url is like:
https://docs.google.com/DocAction?browserok=true#home
You need to add an app like 'Download all Files' so that the stock browser will save the file.
Hope this helps someone else!
use full desktop mode in your browser,
downlaod FIREFOX, and use it to download /open with think free
firefox is the only android broswer that lets me properly download/OPEN WITH by clicking on a link and I can select which app.
;-)
I think office suite pro will perfectly fit your need. After 30days of trial you can remove and re_install the app. Have Fun!
Hi,
I’ve been using Chrome on my desktop and I’m very used to it, specially the bookmarks bar, under the address bar, organized in folders, etc simply to use.
Now on my Nexus 10 it’s a completely different story with Chrome, as you know, difficult to access bookmarks, no home page, etc.
So my question is, is there a browser for Android can be configured the same way or very identical as Chrome for desktop, especially regarding how to access bookmarks?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Best regards

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know how to change the default page that is loaded when you open a new tab on the Samsung Internet web browser? Every time I open a new tab, it defaults to Google.
I've changed the Settings to change the Homepage but that only changes what is opened when you open a new window.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
I have the same problem
I've emailed customer support several times and they always reply with instructions to change the homepage. Makes me want to throw my phone at them through the internet.
Try the SamsungInternet Browser Beta, it works just fine.
