Bookmarks widget default - Eee Pad Transformer General

Everytime I click on a bookmark from the widget it asks me which browser I want to open it with. Even after I check the default check mark it will ask me after the browser has completely closed. Is there any reason why my default options aren't sticking?

Good to know: sort order of Bookmark Widget can be changed!

As you will know, the HTC Bookmark Widget sorts bookmarks by creation date only. Not what I wanted..
I just found out that if you use Bookmark Manager (app available in Market) to rearrange your bookmarks, the HTC Bookmark Widget will show this new order!
Bookmark Manager can also sort alphabetically, will show correctly in Bookmark Widget too.
And: if you set the sort order of the browser's bookmarks (Browser -> Menu -> Bookmarks -> Sort order) to 'newest', this list too will show the sort order as set by Bookmark Manager.
So: great app (free and donate versions available)!
Cheers, Marc
I put in "Bookmarks Manager" to the search on the market but it did not come up with anything. Do you know if it goes by a different name? Not being able to change the order of the bookmarks widget is so annoying!
As a side note I hate the way the market is set up. Terrible.

How to set default browser for urls read from NFC?

I have Dolphin set as my default browser. This works fine when I click web urls in other apps, but if I read an NFC tag with a web url on it, it always opens in chrome. Likewise, if I usse "Android Beam" to send a web page from another device, it opens in Chrome. How do I set a different browser as default for NFC urls?

Settings>Apps->Chrome->Clear Defaults
This should enable you to then choose Dolphin as your default browser again and have it stay this time.

Nope. In Chrome App Info it says there are no defaults set for chrome.
For some reason, android doesn't recognize Dolphin or Aurora as apps capable of opening urls from NFC tags, so as the only recognized app, Chrome was opening automatically. Installed AOSP browser, and then it gave me a choice, and I could set a default (but only between Chrome and AOSP).
How do you change or clear defaults for the NFC functions? Right now when I beam a webpage from Chrome to my phone, the phone uses Firefox to open (prior to installing Firefox it used Opera Mini) and it never asked me to choose a default app. I wnat Chrome to be the default app for receiving URLs/links via NFC or beam. How do I change this?
bump, anyone know why Opera/Firefox opens as the default browser when sending NFC links using Chrome? I want Chrome to be the default for NFC but can't find where to control that

On my GS3 there was the option under the Google account settings to sync Chrome boomarks with stock Android browser but on my GS4 there isn't this option. How can I sync Chrome bookmarks with default browser?

I would love to know the answer to this to, and how to enable flash support on the default browser like how it used to work on the GS3?
Read somewhere that they removed the option. When you're rooted, you can install the AOSP browser with google sync (zip file). Should be somewhere in the themes and apps section.

[Q] Note 3 S-Planner Issue

Hi, I have the following problem with S-Planner application and do not seem to find a way to fix it - I mainly use S-Planner as an Outlook Calendar and I sync it with MS Exchange, my issue is that I have MS Lync meetings scheduled in it. When I open one of these Lync meetings invites into S-Planner I have a direct URL (link) which directs me directly to the Lync Meeting and automatically opens the Lync app. The issue here is that when I press that link it automatically opens via the stock Samsung browser and does not give me an option to choose what browser to use to open it. The Lync Meeting invite in S-Planner does not work with the Samsung Stock Browser as it does not seem to recognize that Lync is installed on the phone, so nothing ever happens. On the other hand it works perfectly with Firefox and Dolphin browsers, but as I said I do not have an option to make one of them the default browser to open URLs in S-Planner tasks. I checked the Stock Samsung Browser in application manager and no defaults what so ever are set for it, the "defaults" button is also greyed out. I also tried making Firefox the default browser for the phone following many articles, but even though it was set as the default browser, opening a URL from within S-Planner kept on opening with the Samsung Stock browser. Any way around this please, can anything be done to change that ?
Does anyone have an answer to that ? Even if it is not possible, please do let me know.
you have the option in the first time the chice to choose the default browser you can reinstall all the browser app and chose what u need in the first start will give u the choxe to choose ur default browser or go to application to default application and chose what u want

Thank you for your reply but as I mentioned there aren't any defaults set neither on S-Planner nor on the Samsung Stock Browser, I checked both in the application manager and they have both the "No Defaults Set" note on them, the "Clear Defaults" button is greyed out (inactive) on both of them, despite that when I open a URL (web link) from within S-Planner it does not ask me which web browser to use to open it, but goes straight to the Samsung Stock Web Browser despite the fact that it has no defaults set.

Set HTML viewer as default text app. How do I change it?

I can't seem to find HTML viewer in the apps settings. I accidentally set it using a file manger app. I cleared the defaults on that and it still opens HTML viewer for text files.
Try going to settings/app, 3 dot menu, show system app, maybe Samsung Internet? Click on it and go down to set as default? If this is set, it will say so and you can clear it. If not this, it should be one of the browsers you have installed, Chrome maybe.
