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?

The best way to hide sms messages?

Hello, I need to hide sms messages from one contact. What is the best way? I prefer free app but you can post paid apps too.
Thank you very much.

Have root? Try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=fahrbot.apps.security.firewall. if not try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.project.memoryerrorthree.

I know there's a modified MMS.apk in Slimbean that allows you to blacklist messages and calls from as many contacts as you want. I've seen it in a few other ROMS too. You can just flash one of those and not have an extra app. Or just extract the apk and move it to system.

I like root call blocker. It doesn't even make your screen blink

"Vault-Hide SMS, Pics & Videos"
Never used it for sms but works good for pics, I assume the sms is good too.

Try this...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.privatesmsbox
It has no additional icon, you get into by dialing 1234 then dial on the keypad, and it's opens it let's you put anything from one contact there (sms, mms, calls) and you can only get into it by using the code. Also, the default code of 1234 can be changed, and the app doesn't require root. Also gosms has a private box built in to it.

I can +1 that. I use Vault daily and this is by far the best Android privacy app I've seen. It was just a SMS hider, but now hides photos and videos and even locks apps now!
Plus, its privacy is polished to the extent that if you press back from the app, it also disappears from recents menu

Shady SMS 3.0 PAYG
It may be the best, however, costs about 7 bucks but it's well worth it. The developer always updates and listens to his customers.

that's a built-in option with Handcent.
long press on conversation and select blacklist.

A perfect app to cheat your gf.. not only hide sms, but also hide the contact as well as the call register from certain contact.. Plus you can also hide the icon from you launcher and open it with secret code in dialer.

[Q] Textra issue

I know many people use textra instead of the stock messaging app, but I keep running into one issue. Whenever I get a notification through textra, I can't seem to open up the text from the pulldown menu in the lockscreen. I can see the text is there but there is no way to go to the application unless I unlock the screen and go to textra instead of just clicking on the notification in the pulldown menu. Is anyone else running into this issue at all? Or have a fix?

I'm running into it with Handcent also

If you are rooted, use Knox security Disabler. Should solve your problem.

I am rooted actually. Is that an app? Or would I have to freeze something with Titanium?

Thank you!
EDIT:
This did not fix the issue for me, I don't know what it is about textra... hmmm

Are you using multi window Manager? There were some reported issues with this. The Multi Window manager app in the appstore that works along with xposed says there was an update to fix issues with s Health and textra. Dont use textra myself tho so I cant confirm

Samsung Browser-Open new window in background?

A new tab always opens in the foreground, is there a way to change that?
Sent from my SM-G935T using XDA-Developers mobile app

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

My phone is locked

Hi,
I bought a Galaxy note 4 and made a Samsung account that is linked to this phone. Recently, I was compelled to do a factory reset. Every time I go through the steps of opening my phone, there is a step asking for the Samsung account's email and password to see if it belongs to me. I typed the SAME email I ever used in this phone. But always a message shows saying"processing failed". I changed the password from the website "account.samsung.com" and waited for 2 days but still have the same problem.
Please help me regarding this issue.
Thanks.

You can try this?

"4. When the calls start swipe to the left on the dialing screen and you will see message and browser displayed (in my case the message method doesn't works)."
I couldn't do this step. I swiped in all direction, nothing happened.

Take a look at this, watch video DON'T download his firmware. He's basically installed a different dialer app.
