Does someone have a fix for app not linking to each other:
I mean when I am on Tumblr and I click on a Flickr or Instagram link it opens an in app page instead of opening the wanted app.
I don't have this problem on my Xiaomi so I guess it is a ROM issue?

Wild guess, one time you had allowed it to stay in browser, set it for default.
Go to Settings - Application Manager. Click the three dots in the upper right of the screen, select "Reset default apps". You should now get prompted for what you want to use.
Doesn't work.
Have done for Tumblr itself, Flickr, Google app and still clicking on a Flickr link in Tumblr opens the link inside the app instead of opening Flickr (and the same for other apps)

Is it opening a Web page?
On gmail links were automatically opening within the gmail app, which i didn't want. Within gmail i went to Settings to turn that off (the first cleared checkbox in the attached image):

It's opening an in app page with some of the options of chrome and a line "powered by chrome" like when using Google search app

You correct it from whatever app is misbehaving. I showed the gmail settings previously, here is the tapatalk settings - in tapatalk I had to select "Do not use in-app browser"

I have searched thoroughly inside Tumblr settings and haven't found such option
Maybe it has to do with the "Android Web View" service app but I don't know how to change its settings.

If it's specifically that one app (for instance Chrome) has been set to default for some things, and you don't want it, go to Settings - Apps, then scroll and click on Chrome. In the App info window that opens, click on "'Open by default", then select "Clear defaults"
Otherwise, try Settings - Application manager -- the triple dots in the upper right - Configure apps - App links
This opens up an app list.
Select facebook (assuming it is installed). Make sure that "Open supported links" is set to either "Open in this app" or "Ask every time", and "Supported links" should show fb.com and a couple facebook.com entries.
Otherwise you're down to the Reset app preferences and Reset default apps choices, global, which will involve reselecting a bunch of things (assuming you've already customized your preferences for a lot of stuff)

I have already tried the two first things you said.
I would have to try to reset all apps settings but I am not sure it would work as it is not my first android and I am near damn sure I hadn't messed with app links when I first used the apps on this phone.
Do you have Tumblr or similar third party apps that go to another third party app without opening link inside the app?

Have you done a force stop, clear data, clear cache, then uninstall/reinstall? Sometimes that gets rid of garbage.

Have just done that, still no luck...
Can it be a ROM problem or an app (Tumblr) problem?
Thank you for your involvement again.

Just found this and thought I'd share. When in the app drawer, if you click and hold an app you get an uninstall option at the top right of the screen. Pretty handy. What I just noticed is that to the right of the uninstall option is a little i in a circle. Dropping the app here opens the app info window. Same window that you would normally have to go to settings -> mange apps -> find the app and tap it. Using the app drawer you can force close in 2 quick steps.

Thanks for the tip! Although that is force stopping not force closing. Force close is a dirty word
Good point. Changed the title.
Found a hidden menu I thought I'd share. Dialing the code directly doesn't seem to work, but going through this app it opens
I can't post links yet, search "hidden menus" in Play Store
Choose CQATestReceiver then the first option.
Still looking for the setting "MO SMS over IMS" though.

In Application Manager there is an app called Quick tools 1.0.71 that takes up 1.8 MB but it doesn't exist in my apps folders and seems to be running and downloading information constantly. I can't stop, disable or remove it. Is anyone familiar with this program?
Sorry if this is a dumb question but I couldn't find anything on it on the web other than an app which doesn't look like what I have.
It's for edge bar. It's the features like the ruler compass etc I believe

I see. Thanks for the clarification!
I struggled too! You need to get the edge up, then there is settings gear at the bottom, tap on this and you need to tick the checkbox at the top of each category to make it active.
This shows how long since last on here VVVVVVVVVVVVV ;o)
On my old phone i used to be able to choose an app for something like a video or a link and set it to always or just once. Now everything is set to "always". Is there anyway I can fix this?
Do you have stock rom ?

I too would love this option on my S7 Edge, stock ROM.
The best work around for this seems to be the app Better Open With.
The S6 had the (far far superior) default Android behavior you describe. The S7 took it out for some reason.

You could remove the default app (if any) for opening the file types you wish, then install this app (free, no ads):
App Picker Classic
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=se.anyro.picker
then the first time you try to open a file type select "App Picker Classic" for Always use.
In this way every time you'll try to open that file type you'll be presented with a small popup menu from where you can select which installed app to use for opening the file.

This is definitely the best workaround for this issue. And the dev is responsive with requests to add new protocols.
So, I don't know if it's been hidden for awhile, or if it came as part of the recent update... but buried in settings, you can now change the Default App Selection behavior!
Settings -> Device -> Applications -> Default Applications -> Default App Selection -> choose "Ask before setting default apps"
My dad has a Galaxy J7 Prime it keeps opening Google chrome to show an full screen ad.
The problem is that chrome is disabled thru Apps on this phone.
He is complaining about the Ads on this phone and he wants them to stop without having to do a factory reset.
He hasn't downloaded any app recently but this started sometime last week. He uses only Adblock browser so Im all out of ideas.
These ads consists of advertising a app to download.
Lookout and Malwarebytes both say theres no problems.
EDIT: Will rooting this device and removing google chrome entirely from this phone using titanium backup solve the issue?

I've had this a few times with rogue apps.
Just find the app responsible.
Set your recents to list view. Next time the ad pops up press the back button.
Open recents and look at the apps, one should be responsible for the ad.
If you see a recent app listed with no icon it is probably that. To make it reveal itself long press on the left of the recent.
