Samsung Browser-Open new window in background? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer

A new tab always opens in the foreground, is there a way to change that?

I'd like to know if there is a way to change that as well aside from using a different browser.

App Launcher

I have done some searching and cannot seem to find anything, please feel free to sarcastically point me in correct direction if i am wrong.
are there any favourite app launchers, e.g. a 1x1 program/widget than when clicked opened your 4, 8, 16 best apps (customizable) thus saving white space without having to scroll through all prorams to get to U etc?
Many thanks in anticipation

There are a few... I use Apps Organizer to arrange under manual icons and labels. Clicked once it opens a layer on the same screen with all the chosen app shortcuts in there. The most major limitation being that it cannot arrange widgets into such "folders".

You could just create a folder and drag app icons into it?
or you could just do that, sorry getting to grips with this phone still.
creating a folder works surprisingly well, many thanks

Another option
Another option is Ultimate Faves which lets you select favourite apps or contacts and scroll between the two.

Opening link - Default Browser

I have a BIG problem. I hate IE. And Bing. I guess 90% of users who ever tried Chrome does hate IE.
And every time I receive a link directly on my desktop (e.g. Outlook), it opens IE. Chrome is already my default desktop, but it keeps opening IE.
Anyone else?
Remove IE in "Turn Windows features on or off".

How do you force desktop only browser?

The title speaks for itself. This was a cool feature on the evo that's not on this phone. Now before anyone starts trolling talking about use search I have this is what I came up with. According to the info I found I'm suppose to type about:debug go to settings and look for uastrings and select desktop. Well that option is not there. So do anyone here have a way of having to do this. Oh yes I have a pc if I was home I would use it.

[q] Old notifications from same app deleted in Android N

Hello, I'm in stock unrooted Android n preview 3. It appears that notifications that come from the same app, when I have left another notifications sitting there, will be overridden and disappear.
This is a big problem for me, as I use cloudmagic to track multiple tasks that pop up for me, and I let them sit there. Sometimes I'll have 10 notifications at once that I need to get to. Is there a way to override this behavior that I missing? Sorry if this is already been answered, I did do a search and was unable to come up with any results
Thank you in advance for your help.

I haven't tried N, so unfamiliar on how the notifications display but the best bet would be to contact the app developer and explain.
AFAIK or understand by a quick search, the behavior is controlled by the app calling the same tag/id with different notification parameters which will overwrite the previous one.
Also have you tried any of the notification managers on play? Could be an easy work around or easier to manage.

I did contact the app developer and explained exactly what you said previously. They are blaming it on N. I told them they need a unique intent for each call. They didn't respond.
Can't use a third party notification manager because of special features within the cloud magic reminders

We need some specifics. Any app can mean a lot. What steps have you tried to resolve the issue?

I specifically tried EvoveSMS, ChompSMS, and GoSMS. I changed the default from Samsung Messaging to one of these.Clicking on the Messaging icon on the homepage launched Samsung messaging, which asked if I wanted to change default....NO...which proceeded to launch Samsung ANYWAYS. I forget what else I was doing, but Samsung was launched too when I wanted to message....
Are you using a custom launcher? If not pressing on messaging will always load the same thing. You have to click on the app you want to use. If using a custom launcher there should be a default setting in there somewhere.
Have tried both 3rd party and stock launchers....shouldn't changing default messaging peg have fixed the icon issue?

Are you trying to click on where it says "messaging" or the actual app you are trying to use for SMS? The messaging app is just that an app, not an app launcher/shortcut so selecting it will always open up Samsung SMS.

Both, the Samsung messaging asks if i want to change default app, regardless of what I choose, Samsung gets launched.....
Just go into the app you want to use and hide Samsung Messaging and you should be fine
