Default browser problem. - HTC Inspire 4G

No matter what I do my phone will not let me choose a default browser. I have tried everything I know how to do, yet everytime I go to a new address or click on the link I have to click multiple times before I can proceed. The only solution that has worked is uninstalling the other browsers.
For what its worth I'm running cm7

Is there not a option on the websites that say full website? usually at the bottom
Or
Use dolphin browser it has settings which make it go mobile desktop and something else
In the stock sense browser, should work in the android browser too, type about:debug, go into settings and change uastring to desktop
i use Dolphin HD
there you can set the user agent to "Desktop" and the normal version of all websites is used
Does dolphin support flash?

I wrote about:debug in android default browser ported from 2.3 but nothing happened. Maybe the URL should be something else?

If I remember correctly (haven't used the stock browser in a while) nothing should happen. When you write that in the adress field you get more options in settings. So check out settings to see if you have stuff like "User Agent" there.
Menu>More>Settings>User Agent>Desktop. That is for the AOSP browser.

Stupid question but you hit enter after about:debug right?
Where can I get the ported browser?

I use Dolphin Browser HD & mini, they could change user agent very easily. You just need to go to settings to find them. : )

They say they only support flash on Froyo 2.2 or above. Mine is 2.2, flashes works great.
1. Go to browser
2. Type about:debug (I don't remember if you need to press enter, just try it if you want)
3. Nothing will happen visually and nothing really is supposed to happen.
4. Now, press menu
5. Select more
6. Scroll down to Advanced Settings
7. Select UA string
8. Select Desktop
if you can't see UA string, i don't know what else you can do
I have a Liquid A1 with Froyo 2.2 (LCR rom).
Unfortunately, I cannot view the full version of spome sites, even switching to "desktop user agent".
I tryed in Dolphin HD, in the default browser after the "debug" option, in Opera Mobile, Miren, etc...
For example, no way to go to the full view of this site:
http://www.primocanalesport.it/
(it's a local sport page: I would try the live streaming of their video news when I'm on the go)
I *always* finish to:
http://www.primocanalesport.it/mobile/
even manually writing the URL, with the user agent set on desktop mode.
Someone could help me??

Default web browser after a reboot?

I've had this problem on my Evo and now also on my TF...
Every time I reboot my device when I click a bookmark or URL link of any sort it asks me which browser to open it with and asks to check the box if I want it to always open with that browser. That browser will then truly be my default browser and automatically open such URLs and bookmarks until I reboot and I have to select which browser again... Is there any way to change this so that it remains the default browser and automatically opens links after rebooting? I use Dolphin HD by the way. Thanks in advance!

Anyone know what I'm talking about?

Yeah, its happening to me too. Hope it gets fixed.
I had the same problem with Dolphin HD on Desire S as well as on Nexus S. Still no fix for this issue?
SOLVED
Ok, I got it All you need to do is to keep browser in phone memory. Concerning Dolphin HD, only browser must be in phone memory, you may move add-ons to SD card...
This worked for my Nexus S but I hope it's universal.

Stock Email App problem.

Ok here is my problem. I have GCFE 1.9.1 installed on my phone with all the lastest kenerl,recovery,ETC. I have the stock app loaded into the app folder and have it setup to get mail from mutiple accounts. Now when i try to reply to an email, all i get is a blank page and then a FC. I have tried to wipe all and still nothing working. I tried searching the app store for the stock email client and nothing. Also apparently there are a couple version of the emal client. The one that comes with GCFE1.9.1 was one that i was not even able to setup my accounts. The other was ozemail.apk, that have the setup page for you to choose what email account you want to setup <<----- this one works, but i have the problem of replying to emails.
So if anyone knows where i can get maybe a stock app that was pulled from working version of stock, or if someone maybe has a fix for this, please let me know. There are alot of email app on the market, but some of them are priced way too much. Thanks in advance.
I have the same problem. I went to Verizon and tthey said it was a known problem with the charge a.d to download another app from the market. Pathetic that we can't use the stock stuff that came with the phone.

that doesnt make sense, because the stock app does work when you are on the stock rom and not modified, I have used many times. Now that iam rooted the email no longer works properly. I too have have spoken to verizon tech and they have no knowledge of the stock email app not working.

Question regarding Youtube links

Quick question.
When you click a link regardless of mobile or non mobile version YouTube links, do you go into the browser or into the YouTube app on your One X? I can't seem to get the darn thing to open in YouTube, at all..
Anyone else?
Random link for testing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf_hdFSnOEI&feature=related
It goes straight to the browser. Any way to change it to the YouTube app instead?

Try going into settings app youtube and clear defults. Then click on a link and it should give you a option to use the youtube app and make it the defult.

Doesn't work, I even uninstalled YouTube and re-installed it. I wonder if it has anything to do with "app selections" within settings. Cant change anything there either.
+1
I may be spoiled from iPhone but I would much rather it open the youtube app instead of the browser.
Also doesn't open other http links in apps. Like Foursquare or Market.
Is this a thing with all Sense ROMs?
edit: It looks like it's Sense 4.0

If links are opening in the Browser by default, you don't want to clear the YouTube defaults, you want to clear the "Internet" defaults. Try that folks. My youtube links (at least so far) always ask me what to open them in, and I don't have a problem going into the youtube app with them.
Having same issue. Must be this phone specific. Because I didn't have this problem with my old HTC Inspire

This might mean it's an AT&T ROM issue. Which relieves me that it is a bug and not a "feature" of sense 4.
Also my "internet" has no defaults and even clearing Chrome defaults me back to Chrome when I use Chrome to Phone to send a YT link.
edit: It seems to go through an "HTCLinkifyDispatcher", is there a difference between these in craig0r's rom and ours?

When I go to Settings -> Apps -> All, I don't even see this app. So yeah, I'm guessing there's a glaring difference! Weird, more crap AT&T is imposing, perhaps?
Yup same issue here. Also happened with my vivid when i updated to ics

My first guess would be Sense 4. It doesn't happen on my Transformer Prime with ICS. Shame on HTC...

Thanks, that would have been a aggravated waist of time (for the attempt to fix the link issue at least)
I tried freezing htclinky whatever its called with TiBu and links in emails and in forum runner refused to open.
Same, even Chrome to Phone doesn't work.
I fixed this by disabling the stock browser in TiBU, but you will need to root your device. Links open in Chrome and YouTube apps now.

[Q] keyboard drop down while writing

Hello,
I have a strange problem.
when I use the keyboard (I tried the latest version of "Go Keyboard" and "SwiftKey X") to write a message or enter to a website the keyboard dropdown and I need to click on the text box to reopen the keyboard.
It is really annoying... I tried to look for a solution in the internet but I couldnt find anything.
thank!
This has happened to me on several occasions as well...it always went away on its own, though, so I have no idea what caused it.
Sent from my MB865 using XDA
happens every time i open the browser, very annoying. its like i try to type in the text box and all of a sudden it disappears and tries to auto guess what i was typing. thought it was my phone, turned out to be dolphin browser in my case. using stock browser again and is fine. however, my data connection sucks and even on wifi in my house 15 feed from the router it loses signal.
Odd, I had the problem with my stock browser mostly, now that you mention it...and I haven't had the problem at all with Dolphin, that I remember.
It's really annoying!
Changing rom can fix that out?

It may (MAY) be an issue with the process itself: android.com.multitouchkeyboard. If you could find a way to just restart that process I think you can at least mitigate the problem. Have you tried a factory reset?
I know, it sucks, but when you get an odd system-based glitch like this (and it's a software issue) usually a factory reset fixes it. If that doesn't do it, something in the O/S may be corrupted, and flashing an fxz to stock 2.3.6 may help.
Also, are you using a sdcard, and if so what size/class? You could try removing the sdcard and see if the problem persists...

Also another one..
When lets say i open browser and type something in the address window like "xda atrix" and hit enter,it of course pulls up google with that search which is fine. But...if i try and click on the input box on the actuall google site ,and i start typing ..the browser will automatically scroll to the bottom of the page while im typing and continue to type in another box. And if u try and scroll back to the top,it wont let u. It will scroll right back down to the bottom so your forced to again use the actuall browser input box for another google search.
Annoying ...

Well, nonetheless, you have to wipe data/factory reset in CWM in order to install many of the custom roms out there... just sayin'!
Use the stock browser instead of dolphin or go or whatever. It will do it less. Even a custom rom will do the same thing. My favorite is trying to type something and then it tries to auto fill which means the keyboard pops outta sight and you accidently hot resturants which pops up another screen and the, you have to go back and retype what you were looking for! Very frustrating! Anybody know if this problem is on other phones? Like the samsung s3? I'm even using a different keyboard (A.I. keyboard which is great so far) and the same browser broblem exists. Texting is fine...
