When I click on a address in my phone instead of going to google maps it goes to the browser and loads it that way.....How can I stop that? I just want it to load into google maps not the browser I don't have any apps to make it do that. Stock Tmous HTC One S Non-rooted. Any help Would be appreciated

But this will require ROOT which he doesn't have...

Clear app defaults
Go to Settings>Applications, find the Internet application (or Chrome, whatever browser you're using) and Clear Defaults. That'll reset the file handlers and the next time you click a map link it should ask you if you want to open it in Google Maps (assuming you have it installed) or any other app that can handle the request.

I think he's stuck with the stock Apple suit enforced HTC Linkify crap. As far as I know, only way to make links clickable like this is to remove it via a Root file browser.

Ahhh....good ol root...
Well I would root my phone but due to all the buggieness how ever you spell that. I am waiting on my replacement One S to come in. I will try that with clearing defaults. thank everyone for the quick replies as well....thank button being hit now XD

will try

Does htc one s have a app installed similar to S Voice? Preinstalled? that works? S Voice Works But......Not Great on HTC One S

How to set youtube as default app for youtube URLS?

When I click on a youtube video link from Talk or GMail, it opens in Chrome, my default browser, and I frequently get a "Cannot play this video" error. How can I tell my One X to have the Youtube app handle youtube video links?
I'm rooted, unlocked on 1.85.502.3 710RD.
Thanks!

There's a build.prop edit that allows this. The reason why it opens in the browser and not the app is because HTC had to remove that functionality in order to bypass Apple's patent. If I wasn't on my phone I'd link you to it but in the meantime I'm sure if you did a search you could find it. Or someone else will post it for you. Ooorrrrrrr you could flash CleanROM because it kicks ass.

I decided to just install CleanROM, so far fixes this issue and seems worth it.

One of my HUGE problems with this phone. Stock browser on my DNA was awesome. Chrome sucks.
Hello...no HOME button!?!? Also, I may be different..but my phone is my phone...I don't need all my bookmarks pushing to every computer I ever log into Chrome on..I hate that.
Also...it's thoroughly annoying in order to alphabetize my bookmarks I have to do it from Chrome on a desktop or laptop...
HTC stock browser MUCH better in my opinion.
Once this thing is rooted and S-OFF I imagine we can install the browser.apk from the M7

I would think and can almost say i'm sure that the intl. version of the M8 has the stock browser. It's the damn US carrier versions that don't, makes sense right kind of like leaving out the htc flashlight app too and all intl versions have this! Maybe when we get the software update with power save modes it will come or we're SOL until root and custom roms come out. Read earlier that it IS on these devices but carrier hides them and without permissions we cannot UNhide them.

It comes with chrome, which awesomely syncs all your bookmarks.
But you can download Opera, Dolphin etc. Plenty of choice.
Out of all those choices, why would you want the HTC one? Its the first thing I replace when getting a new phone.

I really like the stock htc browser also. Anyone know if it will be possible to load it without having root?

I honestly found the stock browser to be far superior than any other browser available.

I'm sure we can just use the system dump from att/tmobile/sprint (if they have one) to pull the apk
EDIT: The browser is in the Sprint HTC one m8 dump, but I can't install it. It needs to be pushed to system

Lol..yeah the first thing I love is to have my bookmarks on my phone synced to any thing I ever log into...awful idea lol
The fact that I can only alphabetize my bookmarks by logging into a desktop or laptop..epic browser fail
No home page button..epic fail..
Opera Firefox and whatever else suck worse than Chrome.
I'm dealing with it..but the Htc browser is far superior

I too like the stock browser and was pissed when I realized it wasn't there. Chrome sucks. Been trying different browsers and someone recommended Boat browser. That's what I've been using and it seems pretty good so far.

I guess we'll have to wait until jcase publishes his root method so we have access to the system folder.

I try to push the browser to system/priv-app but when I reboot it don't show probably because the root has to activate every boot

After the reboot and root kicks in about a minute later, does the Internet app then show up and work? This is my concern with this root method, it is a form of "rooting" but with the reboot feature what root options/apps/tweaks will actually stick and work?

Yes I read up in the Root thread by jcase, Thanks

Its also not going to work because of conflicting provider error. just grab one from a vzw rom, sign it then adb install it . it will show you the error

I initially gave up and just decided to settle with using Chrome.. until it randomly wouldn't open mobile versions of pages, crashed, and wouldn't let me log in to pretty much anything. I then gave up and started using Firefox.. I do still like the stock browser better, but seeing as how I don't have it, Firefox is doing the job pretty well for the time being.

Still hoping someone can make this apk work.I know this is a dumb question but what prevents this apk from being able to be installed like any of the play store browsers.Is there a way to modify it to be installable.

Just a guess (I'm not a dev) but I'd say that it's a system app and we can't write to /system as of yet.

Lollipop Browser?

What browser is everyone using after the Lollipop upgrade? I was on Dolphin, but it's very laggy and no longer supports flash. Switched to Naked browser which is much smoother, but still no flash. Trying Puffin now, good flash, but a little laggy. Main reason for flash is almost no Facebook video will play without flash. Frustrating to have to turn on my PC to watch video.
Any other browser's any good?

If you get webpages that won't load after using adaway, that you feel shouldn't be blocked, you can add it to your whitelist.

Atlas

CM Browser. I had some issues with it on KK but it seems they fixed it now. It's fast, has a nice UI, a fullscreen mode, a home button and an exit button. That's pretty much everything I want/need.

I actively use adaway. It seems to block ads in apps and in Firefox and cm browser but not chrome.

Now I use lighting browser but I prefer aosp browser but it doesn't work on lollipop.

Try javelin. It blocks ads natively and has material aspects

There's a "get flash" guide thread in these n5 forums. Forget if its general or q&a.

I'm using Firefox. Is it just me or its actually slow compared to Chrome. It won't open links that readily load on Chrome.

I was a Firefox guy for the longest time, synced between my laptop, tablet and phone. But I've had it, I always put up with the lack of speed but it's just so frustrating. I can't believe reviews of Firefox when they call it fast.
I switched everything over to Chrome. The address bar isn't nearly as good as predicting what website you want compared to Firefox but it's much, much faster and I welcome that.

There's only one flash apk. Flash is unsupported on android. There will never be a new version again. We must always try to modify the ICS version.
Who knows if it will work on lollipop. I dont even think dolphin works on lollipop. Anyway, there is one apk and one guide only. If you know about it already. Then you know as much as everyone else

if you use data compression, adaway will not work. data compression makes chrome go through a different web server, thus, adaway does not block ads. opt out of compression in chrome and ads will be blocked.

OG YouTube (non root)

Hey guys came across this site today with an updated OG YouTube. Works on non rooted devices such as my G950W.
https://www.official-plus.com/ogyoutube
Everything you need to get it running is there. Have fun!

I use TubeMate and always have done.

@thatsupnow
Wasn't OG YouTube discontinued due to Google sending the developer of the app a cease and desist? Who's the developer of this one?

Thanks for the link OP. I remember when the original Dev announced the discontinuation of this glorious app. I'm glad someone else picked it back up.
For those who want quick links:
MicroG
OGYouTube v4.1
Remember to first remove the original YouTube app (via ADB) and install MicroG first and then OG afterward.

Wut? So you have to remove youtube? Lol.
Try videoder, its the best out there. You can directly download from yourube using share button. You can download 4k 60fps videos unlike tubemate etc. And also facebook videos, just click copy link, and you get a nice pop up for download

Kinda useless when we have iYTBP which does so much more, unless the only thing you want to do is download videos of course.

I loved OGYoutube and used till yesterday when I found the IYTBP app which is simpler and cleaner and updated. But it doesn't have features that og has such as swipe to change volume and skip forward or backward and also have a floating window.. And downloading capabilities (though I didn't really use that as TubeMate downloads are much faster because of acceleration). So OGYoutube isn't useless. Btw just a note, microg of one program needs to be uninstalled fro the new one to work. You need to search within you system apps to uninstall as it doesn't show up in apps.

Ogyoutube sometimes lags phone and causes problems later. I used it for yeqrs and have found snaptube to be much better and reliable
