[Q] Google, why no browser bookmark list view in ICS? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Did I miss a setting? I actually like the new browser, I dont want to change it.
I do HATE icons with pics for my bookmarks though. I want my list view. Anyone know of a way to make this happen or just wait.

tap tap, this thing on??

I didn't find it so I'm assuming it isn't there

I have same problem and i know what is a problem. I try to explain. If u have chrome and u set up to encrypt not only password but all ICS never sync bookmark. So the solution is to downgrade chrome to a normal version, not beta or dev, and try to change this option on encrypt only password.
here the solution: http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/nhe8p/issue_with_ics_browse_cant_sync_with_chrome/

There's no list view in the Browser? Seriously?
Can someone confirm please?

full html with pictures and download attachments like safari.. in hd2

i don't know if anyone is in the same boat as i am.. but don't u guys think that the email in the hd2 is a junk.. we can't view the attachment and don't have the option to download like you'd have in the iphone.. the way the inbox is laid out is pretty messy.. i wish they made a safari mail for this phone.
does anyone know if there is an app to replace the current email app in the hd2.
i'm running the US version. manila version: 2.5.2012xxxxx
thanks in advance.

I don't know what you are using, but on my HD2, Pocket Outlook displays HTML just fine with picture (after telling it to display external pictures and allowing horizontal scroll) and I can download any attachment, just click on it and it will download in the background.
I agree, iPhone version of my Gmail is was sooo much better. Why can't it automactially d/l the HTML? Why do i have to click to 2 links for it to do it? Sometimes it still won't d/l it.
Hi,
It's my first post at the forum, maybe because my english is too bad. So, please forgive me if I'm not to clearly.
My question is: can I open and view directly the attachment in the browser, instead of save it on a folder? For example, can I click and open a .pdf file without saving and opening it with Adobe Reader?
I use to do it on my iPod Touch...
Thanks

[APP] New Chrome to phone version v0.3

Hey guys,
there is a new chrometophone extension out: v0.3

They presented that on the Google I/O. You can send links, Maps, telephone numbers from your chrome browser (PC) to your phone. It opens then directly in the appropriate application like browser, navigation system etc....it's really cool.
i can't even download it because it says it's not supported for my phone or "this phone"
Um, the CRK file is a Chrome extension, the APK goes to your phone. It should work fine if you have Froyo.
Not bad. I'm able to send it web pages, how do I send it phone numbers?
Never tried, but my guess would be to type the phone number in the address bar and hit the send button.

Um...the old version was v1.0. I know this is a newer file, but it didn't replace my installation of v1.0...now I have two buttons in my navigation bar.

The coolest thing since Cyanogen's ROM(s)
You can push anything that a browser publishes, so long as it's not behind a firewall. I right click a download link on my browser and voila! The file is being downloaded onto my N1...think, images, songs, proggies, there's no end...

Request: Browser Widget

Is it possible to create a widget which displays a web page? Even if it was just view-only?
We use Gmail/GApps for work, and I have a Blackberry that gets email pushed to it from the server. I'd like to ditch the Blackberry and only carry my Shift, but then the only way to know if I have new email on my work account is to open the browser and refresh the page. I can't just add it as another google account, because it requires special authentication through a corporate page, but once I authenticate in the browser, I'm all good. It would be great if I could just have a widget that would show that web page and refresh periodically, maybe even have a refresh button on it. And maybe clicking on it would just open the browser to that page.
I thought that the Sense bookmarks widget might provide this, but it doesn't really seem to update.
I don't know but this certainly is the wrong section for this. This belongs in QnA. General rule of thumb: unless it's some hack/mod/ROM that you've created and maintain then it don't belong in Development. An idea for a mod/hack/ROM doesn't count. I wouldn't worry about creating a new thread though as a Mod will probably move it for you soon
ALL HAIL OTAKING71, THE RAPER OF HBOOT!!!
EDIT: Now that I think about it, doesn't the Sense widget refresh the thumbnail image whenever you go to that site? If so couldn't you use something like Tasker to periodically open that page so that the widget thumbnail refreshes?

*sigh* Sorry. I even read the sticky at the top of this forum, but I hadn't really seen any other requests like this, and I figured since it was a request for development that maybe development was where it went. My bad.

I do believe that opening the page might cause a refresh, but I'm not certain that's 100% reliable. I think I played around with that idea some and didn't always get a refresh. If it does, that's a decent workaround. A self-updating widget, however, would be awesome.
Yes this definately the wrong section for this question. But thst being said, why don't you just add your work Gmail account to your Shift? Don't know what Rom your using. But I do know that on MikShifted G and Supreme Sence, you can have more than one Google account. If I'm understanding right, that would solve your issue. You would then just treat it like any other Email account. Set the update interval lower.

Because with the corporate authentication required, the normal Gmail mechanisms don't work. I have to go to a special single sign-on page, then get a certificate, then to the Gmail page. Once the browser has the cert in memory, though, it can reload the page all it likes.

Yeah, I've seen that one. That's just a widget that will, "Start а Browser, Compass, Google Maps,Market with one click." I don't know why someone created that and felt it was better than a shortcut, but that's effectively all it is.

Ok. Now I understand. Well it's possible but not like you want, because the FACEBOOK app is developed by Facebook creators so only they can add those things to app. The solution would be to wait for upcoming updates of Facebook and they should add that feature to app. If you want to speed it you can contact facebook developers and ask to add this feature. More users will ask sooner the feature would be available.
And another way you should be able to use it go to browser and then to facebook where you really will able to use it
And press THANKS appreciate my help

Android browser that saves my username and password and default to desktop browser?

I just want to read my emails and my calendar from my galaxy s7 edge, but my university makes it difficult by requesting that we all to use Inportal on our phones, which I don't want to install due to huge battery drains and slowing that my colleagues have experienced.
I can easily circumvent the problem with google chrome by just going into the desktop mode and voila! I have everything I want.
It even saves all of my log in information too so it is perfect!!! EXCEPT...google chrome always wants to default back to the android mode which is blocked by my university since it is not seen as a desktop. When I save the site to my home screen as an icon to get into my email, it defaults back to android but I have no way to change it back to desktop
My question....Either how can I keep my google chrome to be on the desktop setting and not revert to android. Note that I am NOT rooted, but almost always my login information is already entered.
There are lots of apps that will let me default to the desktop browser but they won't save my username and password, which is a pain because our passwords have to be very difficult to type in all the time.
A browser that would allow me to save my login information so I don't have to re type it AND default to desktop browser would be ideal!! Any suggestions?
Sorry if in the wrong forum and thanks for helping!!
Mike
Google chrome does it to my phone and opera gets synchronized but I wouldn't suggest especially password. I always decline that option. It's too risky. But if you still wanna take the risk it's better to use opera and go to synchronization options...[emoji2]

I tried Opera but I uninstalled it. Maybe I didn't use the synchronization options. How would I go about that?
First, Make an opera account. Then Log in to your Opera account on ALL devices. B4 u log out u 'll see the browser data sync automatically. If not, go to data sync.
Make sure u click from the options the 'on the go' if its not by default.
If anything doesnt work properly visit Opera help page to see if on your pc or mobile is an any option disabled.
Good luck!

Hello,
Firefox saves passwords and users, but you need to press the request each time you want to change to desktop but it's easy you don't need to scroll.

Puffin is the perfect browser for this
You can set the pages to load in desktop mode by default and supports flashplayer
Also save password once logged in
Must give it a try!!

I tried the one for Firefox. The only problem with that is it it always looks like the desktop view when I look at it. All the other ones I try login as a desktop view but they'll steal look like the Android view which I want. Firefox I could never get to do that. But thank you!
What happened exactly?
Reboot phone and try to reopen it
You can just use puffin when you need to
