I've was playing around with my bookmarks of the standard browser.
Now I can't see any tabs (favorite - most visted - history) and i've tried everything to restore them.
Any idea how I can create / make tabs?
(Using stock ICS from HTC)
Very strange. What steps have you tried so far?
- Tried to create new bookmarks
- In setting, I can't find anything which is related to bookmark
- Pressed on several spots on the screen
All without any success!

Have you tried clearing the Browser data in Settings > Applications
I've search for the browser in settting > app but can't find the application.

I think it's listed as 'Internet'.
From Home screen:
Menu key, tap Settings, tap 'All' tab, scroll down to Internet. Tap it, then clear 'cache' or 'data'. Wouldn't this remove the OP's bookmarks though?
Can you add new bookmarks from within the browser by tapping the 'Menu' key, then 'Add To', followed by 'Bookmark', followed by 'Done'?

Thanks!
Got the tabs again but lost all my bookmarks.
Anyway, have to factory reset my device soon or later so it's not a big deal.

I am having no luck in figuring out how to put a short cut to web page on my G-Tab home screen. The process is very simple on my Mytouch 4G. What am I missing?

Long press on any home screen until you get the popup with Shortcuts, Widgets, Folders, Wallpapers. Select Shortcuts and then Select Bookmark and select the webpage you want a shortcut to. Obviously you'll have to save the webpage as a Bookmark (Favourite) first to be able to do this.
Hope this helped.
That is the problem. I don't get the option for bookmark.

I don't know if it's necessary or there's just an extra process to go through but I notice "bookmark" is missing from mine as well where on my MT4G it's there, but if you get Dolphin Browser it will put a context link there for a bookmark for sure on the tablet and Dolphin is pretty nice.
Hope this helps, GL.

You don't get the option for Bookmark when you long press on an open area of a home screen?
What ROM are you running? I'm running VEGAn beta 5.1 and LOVING it.
Stock TnT 3389 with enhacement pack 3.1.4b.
Well I found one way to do this. If I bookmark a page from within the browser it gives the option of adding a shortcut to the home screen.
Hi everyone
Not sure if anyone can help with this. I have had a look round but can't find anything.
I have a number of bookmarks setup on my homepage that when I select them opened the default browser. As of last night when I click them the homepage fades but the browser does not open.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this, or change the default browser. I have cleared all the settings for the browser in settings and am running prime 1.7.
Thanks

I'm guessing it's the "3.2 rotate bug." Try rotating the tablet to portrait and back to landscape. See if it pops up a list of choices.
Thanks msticninja, hadn't seen anything about this bug. I had rotate lock on, as soon as I turned this off the choices list popped up. Thanks
When I hold down the search hardware key it opens Soundhound, and I don't want that. It used to open a "complete action using" window and let me choose between Soundhoud and other apps. How do I unmap the search key from Soundhound so I can map it to Google Search? BTW..I'm using QuikWiz 1.0.3.
Well you can do that in either setting or launcher setting depending on what you are running.

How exactly? I only have regular settings, and I've already gone through all options. I even tried clearing Soundhound's application data and it still isn't fixed.
easiest way is to uninstall soundhound and long press the search button and set what ever you want.

It's just set as a default, no need to uninstall.
Go to menu, settings, applications, manage applications, soundhound, clear defaults

Why do browsers developers in Android make the title bar scrollable with the actual page?
This means that the input box disappears once we start scrolling down and that one has to scroll all the way back to the top to input a new web address.
I checked the settings in both the stock browser and Dolphin, to no avail...Am I missing something?

Try ICS Browser + It is basically the stock browser with some extras, and It has a setting to show the navigation bar using 'short fling down'. It's the browser I seem to keep coming back to.

Probably to provide more screen space. You can use Firefox/Firefox Beta/Aurora if you like. Aurora is the only one with Flash support for tablets, but it's buggy support (expect crashes). Otherwise I like Beta and Aurora.

Don't have to scroll to the top at all, just touch the tab and it will bring up the input bar wherever in the page you are.

Excellent suggestion! :good:
Love the ability to auto-switch to full screen once the page is loaded and the possibility of enabling "side sliding" control pads.

I find this so annoying. And it just started about a week ago on all my Android devices after updating Chrome.
I want to stop Recent Searches (those little magnifying glasses) from appearing under the search bar in Chrome. Or turn off search history altogether. Turning off web activity doesn't work with Chrome. I can't find anything to stop this.
Thanks in advance
To stop Recent Searches from appearing under the search bar in Google Chrome, you can follow these steps:
Open Google Chrome and click on the three dots in the top-right corner of the browser window to open the menu.
In the menu, click on "Settings" to open the Settings page.
In the Settings page, click on the "Search engine" section on the left side of the page.
In the "Search engine" section, you will see an option called "Manage search engines." Click on this option to open a list of all the search engines that you have added to Chrome.
In the list of search engines, find the one that you use as your default search engine, and click on the three dots next to it to open the context menu.
In the context menu, click on "Edit" to open the edit window for that search engine.
In the edit window, you will see a checkbox next to the option called "Show search suggestions as you type." Uncheck this box to disable the Recent Searches feature.
Click on "Save" to save your changes and close the edit window.
After following these steps, Recent Searches should no longer appear under the search bar in Google Chrome. If you want to enable the feature again in the future, you can follow the same steps and check the "Show search suggestions as you type" box again.

Just realized I didn't specify Android. Going to edit my post but thank you. Unfortunately this doesn't work in Chrome for Android. No option to manage search engines
This is driving me nuts, too. There's gotta be a flag.
I just uninstalled latest update and this problem solved.
Has anyone found a flag in Chrome to address this?
same here, it's quite annoying
That's the flag you need to disable guys

Oh my God, thanks so much it was super annoying

Hey guys,
I hope you can help me with this additional query/issue:
I using Chrome on Android. Under the search bar are always some icons of recently visited websites/searches which are changing every day. I really don't need this icons and found this annoying like the other issue you reported above.
Is there any possibility to disable this icons in Chrome on Android as well? To disable the mentioned flag doesn't help with this issue, the icons with recent searches still exist.
Thanks in advance.

I'd actually dumped chrome because of this annoyance, so I'm glad to see this fix.
#internetsuperhero award for you.
Unfortunately it doesn't help me to disable this flag. I see still in Chrome the recent searches very often and also the above mentioned icons/shortcuts...
I registered here just to share that this has got to be the most idiotic feature ever. Who th would want search result queries on their home screen. Enabling this by default and not making it accessible through settings was just a terrible idea altogether

Thank you, good sir! It helped.
This was so annoying seeing search queries on my homepage. Who needs to query the same thing more than once anyway?
