I can't use Adobe Reader to view my PDF files anymore!
e.g. Any of the PDFs listed here get "hijacked" by Google Docs http://www.adobe.com/manufacturing/3dpdfsamples/3dsolutions/
i.e. any URL that ends with a .pdf gets redirected to Google's website, and Google Docs tries to open it, and it is incapable of properly rendering it.
I can't even save the pdf file to the sdcard to manually open it...
Previously, I recall the browser gave me a choice of installed PDF apps I could use to view it.
Anyone know what I need to change to stop Google Docs from opening my PDFs?
Using Dolphin browser under Android 2.3.4
Edit:
Now I can't visit the website www.speedtest.net
My browser gets hijacked, and I get sent to the speedtest.net app in the Google Play store!
Even Microsoft wouldn't stoop this low.

Go to System settings, apps and press "Clear defaults" for the app in question.
Might help.
"Clear Defaults" button for both Dolphin and Docs is greyed-out.
I've tried clearing cache, cookies, history, etc.
Can anyone with the Google Docs app installed continue to open .pdf files with other apps like Adobe Reader, Office Suite, or Quick Office anymore?

I can, it doesn't even offer to open with google docs.
Only by two PDF programs, adobe and ez pdf reader.

uninstall adobe reader reboot and reinstall it. Should reset to where it asks you what to use to open it.
Try a different rom for your phone.
Thanks guys.
There was a Dolphin browser add-on that was redirecting everything to Google Docs. Uninstalled.
Back to normal now.
Also, setting Dolphin to emulate Android causes www.speedtest.net to redirect to the app in the Google Play Store. Emulate "Desktop" to go to the actual website.

I want all the folders supported in Dolphin, not just 500 bookmarks that aren't in folders.
I am also trying to sync my chrome contacts.
I stumbled upon this and am also having trouble finding a way to do that easily. Or at all as a matter of fact.
you may want to look at "google bookmarks assister2" its a free app that will sync you google bookmarks. Now it doesn't sync them with a browser app it will show the bookmarks in that application and you can launch them from there and it does give folders so it isn't to bad. I had some trouble getting it to sync correctly but after I did it worked pretty nice. Hope this helped good luck.
anyone found anything to do this? if i had all my bookmarks i could seriously use my tablet as a laptop/desktop replacement.
google bookmarks != chrome bookmarks (which are still synced to the cloud... there must be a way of syncing)
It would be really nice to sync the bookmarks from Chrome with the Android browser. Will look in the market..

Have you tried Xmarks? It's not free (you have to pay a $1/m subscription fee to get the Android app to let you login. see: http://buy.xmarks.com/premium.php), but it will automatically sync your bookmarks to Android, as well as between computers and browsers, and it stores them all online.

thats isnt the same thing as what we are talking about. We are talking about syncing 50+ bookmarks at times. with chrome to phone you would have to send each one then bookmark each one. That could take a while
PhoneMarks, great app

I can vouch for this. It synced every app that was in the specified folder rather fast. I definitely needed this.
ChromeMarks (Lite/free - if you're satisfied with 1 way sync => PC to phone)
thank you for the help
I just tried PhoneMarks. I setup it up to sync with the default android browser, then went into dolphin HD\bookmarks to SD to sync from android browser to google bookmarks, then synced google bookmarks to dolphin. long story short, my chrome bookmarks are finally on my phone. thanks for the tip.
I'd love to try chromemarks, but I fear giving that many permissions to an app, that should be a stock feature. :/
I'm sure in time I'll just do it.
questions:
does it sync folders as well?
and does it just show up in the browser bookmarks, or do you have to click the app icon or whatever?
Phonemarks moves the bookmarks to recently visited on Samsung phones. Melt.
If you do however, go into most visited and untap the yellow favs star then click it again it'll add it to favourites.
Can't believe google didn't had that damn feature on last 2.x updates..! PhoneMarks, what would be the danger to use it exactly..?
What is the name of the feature that gives you a tab on your internet browser and that allows you to send information to your cell phone? Thanks a lot to the people on here who really do help and arent douche bags.
Chrome to phone

And android2cloud does the opposite--you can share a web page from your phone to the app which, when the extension is installed in chrome, opens the tabs you sent from your phone when you (get home and) open your browser.
there is also one for Firefox.
called
fox to phone
same people make it I believe.
And then you have the Firefox desktop sync and android browser.
yummmm
i would like to realize an application to synchronize google chrome bookmarks with my phone.
no problem realizing the application. the only problem is: how can i download data from google server? how can i get the list of bookmarks from google chrome server?
From what I heard, they used to have them available in the google docs website. However, they're making some changes and the synced bookmarks are not currently accessible.
I occasionally use an app called (I think) Chrome to Windows Phone which is useful for sending one link at a time - but like you say it would be great to have a complete sync like e.g. XMarks does for desktop browsers.
It might be worth contact XMarks to see if they would open their API for you to write a phone app.

xmark is a browser extension. i think it's possible to realize an extension, but my idea was an http request like you can do with google bookmarks.
an extension won't allow me to access data from the device anytime i want (or i can do it using a webserver)
You might want to take a look at chromepush.com as well.
Similar app
There is a similar application for Android:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.h.chromemarks&hl=ru
It will be great, if any alternative will be released for WP7!!

This site is not working already. Maybe url or program name changed?
There is already an app for this called Chrome Bookmarks

I recently released an app that does that - it talks directly to Google's servers using the native Chrome sync protocol. It syncs down open Tabs, Bookmarks and recently accessed web pages. It is available in the marketplace under "Chrync" - there is an unlimited trial, and I've no problem with people using it without paying for as long as they like.
I've also released a beta of a new version, which works when you have sync encryption enabled in Chrome. It also (optionally) syncs passwords, lets you pin bookmarks and folders, and lets you search bookmarks, passwords and recent URLs. Info on the beta at chrync.com/beta1-1/

nice
I tried searching for this problem on Google, but the only solution I came across was either by browsing gmail in classic or desktop mode on stock browser. I can't seem to delete a gmail email in mobile version. when I press the trash icon to delete an email, the icon turns blue to indicate that it has been pressed, but then it doesnt reload the page or delete anything. it just hangs..
since I am a frequent gmail user, I use dolphin browser instead, which works fine, but I still want to know what's causing the problem with stock browser. btw I don't use gmail app. my issue here is accessing gmail on stock browser.
thanks in advance!
edit: I am on stock btw.
am I the only one with this glitch? plz help
I dont have that issue but then again i use k9 email app. When i have used gmail via a browser on the phone i use chrome and dont have a issue

The app is far easier, I've found.
Nonetheless, I tested the stock browser and it does not actually delete any gmail items that I select when in mobile browsing mode. Works fine in Opera, though. I use Opera because it acts more in line with my expectations from a UI standpoint and rewraps text on zoom.
So, it's a stock browser bug, I'd think.

alright. thanks for clearing that up. I can't believe how Google's android stock browser has such glitch with gmail, which is also Google.
this is practically the main reason why I'm using dolphin instead. hope it gets fixed eventually.

I think google doesn't want us to deleted emails. Have you ever tried deleting your
email from the gmail website after not doing it fora few months? OMG! ITS crazy. First you can only do it 10 at a time and there may have hundreds or more, and each 10 take several clicks it can take hundreds of clicks! But if that's not bad enough if you want to completely delete them you have to do it all over again to delete them from the history and again from the trash.
Any reason you choose to use the browser over the app?

I like to surf internet and check emails under a single app. that's all lol
I'm using Lightning Browser from F-Droid as my default browser and any time I try and download a file, whether from a webpage or even Google Drive app, I get a Download Failed message.
I have cleared data storage from the Download manager app, factory reset the phone, removed and reinstalled Lightning Browser...but nothing seems to help.
If I login to my Google Drive from within Chrome app, or from webpages within Chrome app, then those files download okay.
Anyone else had this happen to them and any suggestions to get downloads working from other sources besides Chrome app?
Thanks.
