They really need to add search to the xda app.
I searched from chrome and Google but didn't find this, although logic tells me is been asked and answered before.
When I open Google+ and click on a posted video, I get a box asking if I want to open it with Google+ or chrome.
My mom's Nexus 7 just goes ahead and opens it with chrome. She may have previously selected chrome at some point (thought I have my doubts that she would select"always"). I want to change hers to open with Google+, but I can't find anything under settings.
My Nexus is rooted but hers isn't, though I don't see how that would make any difference.

Go to system Settings, Apps, Chrome, and clear defaults.
Thanks. Seems to have worked.
Sorry if that had been asked a few dozen times.

Ok so for example, when I entered twitter, it didn't find the twitter app. Only till I entered "tweet". And it almost always shows the app Lookout security & Antivirus, as like the 5th search result. And some other apps, like Nimbuzz, Quickoffice Pro will almost always show up. This happened since I flashed my phone back to the T-Mobile (I had debranded) firmware and then upgraded to 2.3.5.
Maybe covered in here too:

Not sure if this is the same issue and apologies if I've missed another thread on this. I lost both books and movies from market a few days ago. Also searches only show a very small selection of apps but says there's thousands available. Wonder if anyone else has noticed this?

I think you guys accidentally set the app filtering to high. Remove the filter. Happened to me before.
Just uncheck all then apply and recheck all and apply.

Depends on the CSC code.
Everybody got the same following bug?
If some app page in market loads through 3G and you switching to WiFi while loading - it won't load until force restart market app.
I have got the same thing.. I cannot find anything properly. Its like the search engine is fubar.
When I search "stargate ", it says there are 107 results, yet only about 10 are in the list. I'm finding this problem with every search I do, yet my filter is set to show all apps. Maybe if someone who has cm7/miui could see it it happens to them, we could then deduce whether it is Samsung firmware to blame, or just an android market issue.
There is also another issue where in sometimes when u search an app with full name the market will keep on loading with the grey screen and does not go past it. However if part of the name is searched the results come instantly.

We can rule this out if no one is having as now I feel its because of network issue from my end.
Latest market update seems to have fixed most of the issues I posted earlier. Hopefully this version will be more stable.

I'm curious to see how the Google Docs (Drive) app looks on this device.
So far I've been less than impressed with editing spreadsheets via Google Docs on my Android device so far...
Anyone seen any videos of this? YouTube searches turned up nothing.
Thanks!
I hate editing Google Drive spreadsheets on my SGS2. It feels so primitive and lags very often. This is definitely an issue that I hope does not persist in Jelly Bean on the N7.

I just switched from iPhone to Android and I'm a little puzzled. How do I add an address from Google Maps to an existing contact without going Add as Contact and then Join. That doesn't seem to be clean at all as it doesn't add the address in the main contact address section. Is there another way?

I do not believe you can do what you want. Hopefully they'll add in that feature, it would be nice. Also, a way to label stars in maps.

Its too bad! I'm really surprised because the excellent iOS Google Maps app does it very well. I dare say the iOS Google Maps app is better than the android one a few ways (in the Maps section). I suspect they'll update the Android app with some of those features.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
You're actually right. The newest version of Google Maps on iOS is seen as better than the Android one. It used to be the case that the Android one is better. I think Google will fix that soon.
Don't expect similar functions across different platforms though.

My number one complaint about Maps and Android. If I put a address for my mom and set a calendar appointment to go up there Google Now will not acknowledge the address and set s time to arrival. Major oversight IMO.
You also cannot say "navigate to moms house" and have it know what your talking about

Could be a log file. I'm not sure what it is. I would scan again once it appears. Not sure if it is I needed file or not. I don't have a nex 4 but was looking into getting one that's why I'm at the forum.
You can try sd maid which has a system cleaner. Or change the files permissions if you are worried about it transmitting data. But I wouldn't mess with it too much until you figure out what it is.

You guys could wipe your sdcard with twrp if you are worried, but back up all your wanted sdcard data to a computer first. And then put it back on right after. I do that with my Nexus 7 sometime. Not sure if it is the same process on Nex4. It may not be necessary, not sure.

I have removed the apps I have installed on my Device from the above list, The first one that springs to mind is the go backup. I would check there first.
I know this is probably more related to the actual FB app but I feel like it's a complete violation of privacy and I don't particularly want this happening but can not seem to find a setting to turn it off.. Here is a scenario where this would be completely out of place and unacceptable..
You take a picture of something private .. You or a friend gets your phone and opens the Facebook app... Oh look the last 3 pics you took.... Really? WTF? Anyone know how to turn this off?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
Check settings. Turn off facebook sync photos.
Just using Facebook is violation of privacy. Even if you find away to turn it off that feature; Facebook is always sucking up information from your device (contacts, location, call logs, pictures, and so on). This is one of the reason I don't use Facebook.

That's definitely true... Makes me sad. I think in this issue though the most disturbing thing is that it's accessing another app (gallery) and then putting the 3 most recent pics in the app (suggesting) you post them. Who's to say their appropriate to post. I don't like this at all.

Guys, just get another app for Facebook. There's tons of apps that don't these extra permissions and don't steal your data, AND THEY RUN BETTER than the stock Facebook app. Example : fast for facebook (search it!)
