Having a problem last two days with vzw home page overriding browser/google settings and then forcing searches through Bing. Search starts in google to about 50% then loads the vzw page breifly before ending in Bing. I am on a debinged device and it wasnt a problem for the week before on the same rom.
Is it possible a market app swapped something and where might I look to find it ? No matter what I reset in the browser seetings or clear, the behavior returns.

A search on debinged browser will help you find answers. If you are rooted you will have more options. But there are things you can do to minimize the influence if bing searches without being root.
One solution that I used was to replace browser.apk with the one from the Samsung Mesmerize which is the Canadian version of the Fascinate which doesn't use Bing
There is another file that will give you google search on a short press of the search key. But not google voice search with a long press. To get Google Voice Search you can install Vlingo (a nice voice recognition application with lots of features)
Another option is to use a different browser like Dolphin (I like Dolphin Mini) and set your home page to Google.
For a google search widget you can install LauncherPro.
Lots of ways to go. Searching will help you find details.
Thanks for the reply, but maybe I wasnt clear. I am fully rooted, running an eb01DB_DXC.tar with eb01 lockscreen mods, some swapped touchwiz and buddies .apks and other minor mods. Google voice search is disabled and everything is set properly settings wise.
The search function worked properly for a week, but something has changed to create this new behavior. I already tried Skyfire as well.
I understand the need to search and I do quite a bit. I just cant find a reason why behavior would change when there is no apparent reason to based on the device config.
Hi!
I'm using google apps in my rooted KF (talk, gmail, etc) and they work great, except that I cannot disable predictive text in them... This is a major annoyance for me, since I mostly type in Spanish (I don't want predictive text in Spanish either...).
I've disabled the "quick fixes" under Settings>Kindle Keyboard, and it works everywhere but in google apps.
Does someone know a fix for this? Should I install a 3rd party keyboard or something? (I really don't want to have to do that since I'm a noob with adb and stuff)
Thanks!
The Chrome Google Translate thing appears to be set to automatically translate on the Nexus 7 into your base language. This is most frustrating if you are multilingual. I can't find a way to disable it. So every time I look things up in German using the Chrome browser, it changes it to English without asking me. How do I turn it off?
I don't like to bump things but it has been a few days. Anyone know the answer?
Wish I had some help for you. I've found that while the desktop version of Chrome is very simple to adjust the settings in, the android version is not so simple. You might want to use another browser for German sites
Hello all,
I'm been trying to figure this out for a couple of days now. How do you manually replace a word highlighted in Chrome? Say I'm writing something via Disqus and Chrome puts a squiggly red line under it, how do I change that word? Outside chrome, you pick the word and choose "replace". The option doesn't seem to be available on Chrome though. Anybody have any clues or workarounds? :fingers-crossed:
Cheers!
Anyone?
Hi. I have an SM-G950FD from UAE. It is working alright, and after putting in my Spanish SIM card I guess it adjusted properly since the ROM seems to be the Spanish one (screenshot with the SW info). Even Samsung Pay works correctly.
Now the only thing weird that is happening to me is that when I browse some websites like eBay, Paypal, Samsung website for managing the phone, they load in Russian. What surprises me is that should these websites show some foreign version, I guess it should be the UAE version not Russian. If I browse one of these websites that shows you your IP it's showing a Spanish IP.
Any ideas what is happening and how could I fix this? Thanks.
Is this an issue only with one browser?
Test the issue an try other browsers like G Chrome or Firefox to see if they load in Russian as well (they shouldn't).
All, check your browser's settings for any preferred language.

Thanks for your response. Now that you mention it: no, it only happens when browsing websites within other apps. I believe this web-browsing is done through Chromium. If I use Chrome or Firefox, it loads the correct versions of the websites.

Well, then it might of some specs, check your in-app settings, or your google play default country/language.

I haven't been able to find any kind of configuration set to Russian. Since this has happened to me in more than just one app, I guess this issue relates to Chromium, but I haven't find how to configure it.
If you can, do a factory reset and see if the problem persists.
Don't forget to backup your data and files before doing the reset

No luck with that either I guess that unless I flash another ROM I won't be able to get rid of this.
