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.

Hi everyone I just got my vibrant from tmo last week and I'm loving most of it so far.
I tried doing a search and couldn't find anything on this but maybe I missed it, so if I did, can someone help point me in the right direction? Thanks!
Basically, I am trying to download .doc and .ppt files directly from my class website which my professor posted up. I tried through the default web browser, dolphin browser, steel, skyfire and xscope. I am unable to download the files through any of these browsers except for xscope. Even through xscope though, the file is downloaded, but when I attempt to open through thinkfree office, all I see is html code in the document. Also, if I use documents to go, it says that it cannot be opened because it is actually an html file.
I have verified that through my laptop that the files on the website do work and can be downloaded to my pc.
Thanks for the help!
I've got a Captivate and I noticed the same thing today... using Skyfire to log into WebCT (or "Blackboard) and couldn't get it to download .pdf files or powerpoint files.... wonder if its related, or if maybe its the WebCT/Blackboard system itself.
Try installing a file manager like Astro and enabling the browser plug in. then you should be able to download any file.

Same for me, my uni also uses Blackboard (but thankfully i hear they are changing system next year or so). I've tried stock and opera browser.
Hard to tell where the problem is tho.. blackboard is fairly crappy software, doesn't work half of the time.
Like posted above... Download Astro (free from market) and open it, go to settings and enable "Enable browser downloader" and then you can download anything

Thanks, gave that a try but I still haven't been able to download the files off the website. I noticed one more thing though actually, I'm having trouble downloading say a .docx file through my yahoo mail, but the same file will download through gmail...
You might also give Opera a try. I ran into a similar issue when downloading from a campus webdav server, and Opera was the only browser that worked for me.

there used to be a download helper app, but I can't seem to find it in the market anymore.

Download Crutch Lite has always worked for me.
Thanks for suggesting opera, I completely forgot about that one and direct downloads from websites has been working for my current needs so far.
Is download crutch lite for the default web browser?
Its a stupid limitation most likely imposed by the carriers. I couldn't even download a mp3. I reconciled the problem with a.program called bytetornado from the apparently market. It does away with the restrictions.

I'm on a different ROM on Vibrant and I don't think that ThinkFree is no longer on my phone. I need to find which ROM has ThinkFree because having those options is a must for me.
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.
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
The Kit Kat update was waiting for me yesterday evening, and was installed. This was from Google, not something done before arriving on it's own. So far, the update seems to be more frustrating than welcome.
PC keyboard didn't work, but found an app that is ok.
Main problem at the moment is not being able to follow a link on a web page to a youtube video. I tried with Xscope pro and with Chrome. As I understand, Kit Kat does not support Flash, whereas 4.3 did. Previously, Xscope with a Flash add-on would open the Youtubes in a browser window. Now it tries, but gives a "can't load" message and does naught.
The question; Is there a simple way to have a browser send a link to the Youtube app when a link in a webpage is clicked on? Can the Youtube app be used as an add on?
The N10 is pure stock, and I am a bit reluctant to get into the guts of the Operating system

Bump.
Anybody got anything?
After updating to KitKat, every time I tried to follow links or share something it would default to Twitter and never popped up with that "Launch with" dialog. Per some research, I went to Settings > Apps > Chrome (or browser of choice) and changed the "Launch by Default" setting, but that still didn't clear it up. I ended up having to uninstall Twitter and each of my browsers, and reinstall them to fix it.
It might not be the same thing you're experiencing, but maybe your browser isn't launching the right app and that's why they won't play. This could fix it.

Giraffeteria,
The problem you describe is different. The following fixed/worked around the issue with flash being unavailable in 4.4 for me;

Install Adaway from here, and also block pop-ups in Chrome browser settings.
and It's happening because of the website which you are browsing, not because of your ROm or Chrome.
im not saying that its related to the Rom and ive tried an adblocker app but then my browser and chrome freezes into white screen and sometimes an error or html fail.
and the website's im on i never had trouble with it, like torrentz.eu and moddedapk etc.
i think the problem is deeper
i have some screenshots but the choose file button doesnt respond.
It's Google's fault for having that vulnerability. Go on stock Touchwiz Internet browser and none of those appear. Even on stock and using Chrome, I see those too. It's quite annoying. I'm surprised that the devs of Chrome has not given an update about it.
i have to go on a stock launcher ? or the stock webbrowser from touchwiz.
cus the fist option can't be done i geuss
