Hi all,
I did a search and could not find anything about what I have happening on my phone.
Last night my sdcard decided to die , Dolphin browser was installed on it and I used Titanium to freeze the original browser, so in practice I have no browser installed.
While I was reformatting my sdcard on the laptop, I opened gmail on the cell and I touched an image that has a link; and I got a webpage displayed (!?)... There is no URL field, if I bring up the menu, it is the gmail menu not a browser's menu...
I guess gmail uses the bits from the original browser?
I just thought I'd share it in case anyone else has seen this.
Cheers
if your saying you need to run a browser on your phone. You could look in /system/app. As you said you could still have the original browser there.
What I mean is that there's no browser available right, yet gmail opens a link to a webpage; hence, I assume it uses the bits of the browser in system/app even though Titanium froze it... I guess

So unfreeze the stock browser.
I think I am not being clear.
I have no problem in unfreezing the browser, or reinstall Dolphin, or restore a nandroid or anything like that.
It just struck me as weird that I could see a webpage when seemingly there is no browser available, that's all.
Cheers

I get this sometimes. Don't know the solution. I am as interested as you to see if one shows up.
i get this every time I'd really like to know if there is a fix for it.
Are yall rooted with Tiamat? The problem occurred after rooting and flashing the kernal.
I have this issue, with all browsers, but only some of the time. I believe I know why, but don't have a solution. When launching the browsers from other apps like twitter, RSS readers, any other app really, sometimes in the multitasking menu the apps that you launched the browser from shows up instead of the browser itself.
I never seem to have this issue when I launch the browser by itself, it shows up in the multitasking menu just fine. Perhaps the launching app replaces the browser in the multitasking menu?
Not sure if others have noticed this or have any evidence to the contrary, might be intermittent, but it seems that every time I want to go back to the browser and its not in the multitasking menu I have launched the browser via another app like twitter or RSS reader.
This also happens sometimes with file managers launcher apps from files in the file system.
hi,
I came across a weird problem. I don't know if it happened after an app update or what, but when I try to open links in non browser apps, the browser never opens, the screen dims like its trying to open a new app, but it never does. I have to press back or home to get out of it. I tried checking all my apps to see if the wrong program had hyper links as an incorrect default but I found nothing. I use dolphin browser HD and I'm using the Prime ROM. Any help is appreciated, thanks.
Fixed it. Reinstalled Dolphin and now it works.
I don't like the Chrome browser that has become "stock" over the stock browser on the N7 because:
Chrome is connected to my Office's Chrome browser so private things i browse on my tablet show up in my search history at work. Plus I want N7 bookmarks to be different than my office bookmarks
The bookmark widgets are horrible on Chrome and much better on stock Android.
Because of this, I ended up rooting and flashing CM10's M1 build, which is somewhat stable...and I love the stock browser's simplicity and love the widget pack that's there by default.
I would like to go back to a stock ROM ....4.2 but want to get rid of Chrome and somehow load the stock browser. Is there a way to ditch Chrome and sideload stock? Need some help/direction.
Thank you!
Why not create another Gmail account just for logging into Chrome at work?
i have the stock android browser on stock 4.2.1. can't remember where i got it, might have been from another site, but i put it in /system/app, set permissions and rebooted, and it works. (requires root)
i agree about the bookmarks. i like how the stock browser works with my Android Pro Widgets bookmark widget.

Thanks for the link and instructions. Do i need to figure out a way to uninstall Chrome or can stock and Chrome work side by side. Would prefer to ditch Chrome all together....
If you can't ditch Chrome (easily) what would happen with the bookmarks widget...would it connect to Chrome or Stock?...
Thanks again!

i uninstalled Chrome using Titanium Backup. the bookmark widget you are talking about i believe comes with Chrome so will disappear with Chrome. i haven't tried to connect that widget to the stock browser, so i don't know if it would work. i have used the APW bookmark widget from the market for a long time, and it works great with the stock browser.
Edit: the APW widget also works with Chrome but doesn't seem to fetch thumbnails as well as with the stock browser. If you switch to stock you might have to re-bookmark your sites, unless some are backed up on the Google servers from before!
On my Nexus 7, Dolphin is my default browser. However, when using the Google search widget, results are displayed in Chrome, and not Dolphin. After the list of results is displayed, then the link opens properly in Dolphin.
This issue would not be so irritating if I could long-press on links in the initial page of results and choose to open the link in a new tab. However, that option is not available, for some reason, so if I want to view several links, I have to keep going back and forth from the initial results page. This is very irritating.
So, simple question: how can I get the Google search widget to open the initial results page in my default Dolphin browser? If this is not possible, then how can I get the links in the search results to open in a new tab?
Thanks for your help.
Still hoping to make this work
I'm still hoping someone can help me figure out how to ensure that search results using the handy Google search widget open in Dolphin browser, which I find to be far better than the stock browser. As I mentioned earlier, once I choose a link, that link opens in Dolphin. However, the search results page does NOT open in Dolphin, and I am unable open a search result in a new tab from the stock browser, which is irritating.
Any ideas?
Can you clear the defaults on either the search widget or the browser and reset them? Maybe that will get them to switch.

Thanks for your quick reply. Yes, I did clear the defaults, which I believe is why the search links open in Dolphin. However, the original search page stubbornly sticks with the inferior stock browser.
This is not a problem with the phone running ICS...just my Nexus 7.
Stock rom, rooted, 4.2.1. If you are rooted there is a way to remove Chrome as the default browser and place the default nexus browser (not chrome) from the nexus phone rom as default. I did this and Voice Search & Google Now open web searches in it. I side-loaded Flash and it works great with that browser. If you want to make Dolphin the default, I don't know about that.
If OP has rooted, stock Rom or otherwise and still has Chrome Browser - go to Store/Play to download free app called "AntTeh App Manager" and use it to freeze Chrome (thus, disabled it) That should allow Dolphin Browser to be the only one - boot into Custom Recovery & wipe dalvik cache to be sure, restart - and all searches should be going to the Dolphin.
I am using Boat Browser & Google Search and/or Voice Search, etc. will launch & show results in it. (rooted Stock 4.1.2 - franco kernel)
You can unfreeze Chrome & go back to it anytime as you wish as it's not deleted, just hidden & will no longer shown on the Apps list, unless re-enabled.
Po.st/
It seems that I can't access this site with any browser in my phone, I don't remember when it still but it's really annoying. It's a link shortener service used by many pages on my facebook timeline like news, men's health, music......
I've tried to access this site with facebook browser, Mozilla and chrome but even the home page of po.st/ gave me an error message
So, any idea how to fix this?
I'm on lollipop but I remember having this problem with KK too.
Thank you
Do you use an adblocker? If so that's probably why.
Edit... Im assuming your rooted. You can use the Hosts editor app and open it and search www.po.st and select that file and delete it then you should be good to go.
