[Q] default browser.... - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm in ARHD 3.0.1 since last week and all is fun and good. Only 1 little problem : when i launch any web adress i ve got a window who let me the choice between Stock Browser and Opera Browser. Even if i check the "by default " everytime i launch again it's seem impossible for the ROM to save my choice...
Any idea???
Thanks for help and forgive my poor english, i do it better next time

Try clearing defaults for both apps in settings. Then choose your default browser again. If it's still not working, try a different browser.
I'm using ics browser+ set as default with no issues.

Hmm... not heard of this before. Make sure you really check the checkbox in the bottom-left corner of the dialog. It should work.

Thanks
I'm sure for the check, anyway thanks for your answer. I'll try the way of reset of all defaults options and see if it's good....

Thunderbolt, Stock Browser - HTTP always in front??

So, I've got my TB and have installed an earlier version of Swype (Evo).
I love that swype works great, except for the auto space with the stock SMS (Handcent FTW).
I've tried Dolphin Mini/HD, FF and Miren. I gotta say that I'm loving Miren, but because Swype auto space doesn't work at all, I'm back to the stock browser.
One of the things I love is being able to just type in search words in the browser bar, but I have having to erase the "http://www." everytime in the stock browser.
For example, if I want to search for "amsterdam", I go to the top, touch the browser bar, and see that everything is highlighted...EXCEPT for the "http://www."
So I need to manually delete/clear out the "http://www.", then go back and swype "amsterdam" to search from the bar.
Is there anyway to have the stock browser take out the "http://www." on the Thunderbolt as a default?
p.s. does Miren support swype auto space...if so, how?
I know what you're talking about and it's really annoying. On the Droid X, the browser would just clear out the whole bar. On the TB, i have forced myself into the habit of pressing the search button in browser when I want to search for something.
I must say I like the HTC browser much more than the Moto one, but the way it fills in http:// is just annoying as all hell.
I noticed that http bug in the stock browser as well. I'm sure it will get addressed soon (pardon the pun derp I couldn't help it.) As far as browsers not auto-spacing that's because those browsers use the address bar both for searching and for URLs, and there's no way for your keyboard know which one you are typing. I've been using opera for a while now, it's super fast since it's the only browser that uses hardware acceleration at this point, plus it has a separate address bar and search bar. Give it a try, you'll probably like it.
I don't think my browser does that. Then again if I'm going to do a search while in the browser I just hit the search button.
with the browser open, just tap the search soft key

I would rather leave it the way it is. I think they actually put a lot of thought into how this works and intended it to be that way. It assumes that if you're tapping the address bar you wanna type an address. How annoying would it be if you had to type the http..... every time. Just use the search button.

I would rather they bloody ask.. IE made options for that crap.
Check out the extra settings in the browser. It might be in there I would check for you but I don't have time. But I can direct you where to look. Go to browser> type in the url about:debug > hit enter or go whichever. It shouldn't do anything to the page but what will happen is if you hit menu> more> settings. It will give you much more edit menus. Give it a try.
Download and instal the aosp browser add on in the teslacoil rom thread, bak in the happiness!

google search widget default browser

Hello, the first time I used the Google search widget, i accidentally told it to use the stock browser instead of dolphin. Now I can't for the life of me figure out how to set it to dolphin. Does anybody know? Thanks!
go to settings>applications>manage applications>all>browser>clear defaults
now the next time you use the widget, itll give you the option to choose dolphin
Thanks for the reply, unfortunately your suggestion isnt solving my problem.
Actually, I take that back, it did solve my problem, thank you!

Can't clear stock browser as default

For some reason since the update I've been wanting to use google chrome for my browser as default. I've gone into settings, application, all, the found internet (stock browser) and cleared it as default. I pressed back and immediately click on the stock browser again and come to find out it automatically made it the default again. I have no idea what I need to do to make google chrome my default browser. Anyone else having this problem with any other apps since the update? Even before when I would make dolphin my default browser, I would choose it in settings, and it would pop up on the screen to make one of my browsers the default. Did that method and still didn't work.
I fixed it, but for some reason it made me have to clear the data and cache for it to clear the default settings for the stock browser. Never had to do that before.

1. I assume you're on JB stock, from ASUS, right? I'm not on a stock ROM, now, but I'll try and extract them from a backup and upload ' em somewhere. Can't do that from my train commute, though (connection is.... crap, to say the least).
2. All launchers, save very few, use the same wallpaper process, meaning that it doesn't really depends on which launcher you use. Have you tried QuickPic for setting the wallpaper?
3. I do not understand what you are referring to at all, so can't help you there. Can you clarify, or rephrase?

Thank you for your help i am awaiting your uploaded pictures
For the 3rd question my answer is that sometimes when i am on my docking station and typing in the stock web browser and want to delete with backspace it doesn't do it. And sometimes when i am scrolling with touch in any web browser it won't scroll :S
I've got a fix for the wallpaper.
Download this and give it a shot. I've had no lagginess on JB based launchers but it lags TSF pretty bad.

You can choose different images for portrait and landscape or just decline to rotate the landscape at all.
Finding 1200x1920 images is pretty damn hard though.

For the web browser not wanting to scroll, in the stock browser, type about:debug press enter, then hit then menu key, 3 dots in the upper right corner, and hit settings. Next hit the labs tab and check enable light touch, it's towards the bottom of the list. This should help with any touch input used in the stock browser.

[Q] Default App Question Every Time!

I have the Galaxy s3 with Verizon 4.1.1.
I have Google Chrome and dolphin browsers installed. Every time I launch an activity that calls for a browser I get the selection screen asking me to choose which default app to use. I have tried selecting dolphin as the default Always, and I have tried selecting chrome as default always, but no matter what I choose I can click the same link again and it will ask me again which browser to use. I tried uninstalling both browsers and the system let me choose the stock browser always and remembered it as default. When I put the other browsers back on, I have to choose every time again. This also goes for other default app selections. I've had 4.1.1 since Christmas and I still select default apps multiple times a day.
Help please!

If you are stock with root, just use either dolphin or chrome, but not both. Then delete the browser apk from system/app, that way only one browser is on your phone and you won't have the nag.

I use dolphin because it supports flash, and I use chrome because I prefer the UI. Besides, getting rid of only one still forces the nag default app screen between the stock browser and the remaining browser. I would have to get rid of both.
I am not rooted.
Is this behavior normal? I don't want to wipe the phone but I will if I'm the only one having this sort of problem. Does default app selection stick for other people, even when selecting a third party app?
