[Q] google maps - HTC One S

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

This is the same one that I had on the phone, but even after re installing it it gives me problems. The app icon is the generic one and when I click it, a different looking program comes up. Is there another program that I need to run? The htc one didn't download an my voice search is working fine.
I just want an an app that I can record with, for done reason switching from inc does mash up rom back to a nandroid with full wipes completely messed with my phone. I had to reinstall m radio because the internet wasn't working, also the stock email kept force closing no matter what I did, so un installing it and putting on a fresh copy seemed to work. Just weird all of this happened
Any info on this?
i don't have the stock one but the htc one above.
i am positive VoiceSearch.apk is NOT it. that is probably googles voice search app.

Question regarding Youtube links

Quick question.
When you click a link regardless of mobile or non mobile version YouTube links, do you go into the browser or into the YouTube app on your One X? I can't seem to get the darn thing to open in YouTube, at all..
Anyone else?
Random link for testing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qf_hdFSnOEI&feature=related
It goes straight to the browser. Any way to change it to the YouTube app instead?

Try going into settings app youtube and clear defults. Then click on a link and it should give you a option to use the youtube app and make it the defult.

Doesn't work, I even uninstalled YouTube and re-installed it. I wonder if it has anything to do with "app selections" within settings. Cant change anything there either.
+1
I may be spoiled from iPhone but I would much rather it open the youtube app instead of the browser.
Also doesn't open other http links in apps. Like Foursquare or Market.
Is this a thing with all Sense ROMs?
edit: It looks like it's Sense 4.0

If links are opening in the Browser by default, you don't want to clear the YouTube defaults, you want to clear the "Internet" defaults. Try that folks. My youtube links (at least so far) always ask me what to open them in, and I don't have a problem going into the youtube app with them.
Having same issue. Must be this phone specific. Because I didn't have this problem with my old HTC Inspire

This might mean it's an AT&T ROM issue. Which relieves me that it is a bug and not a "feature" of sense 4.
Also my "internet" has no defaults and even clearing Chrome defaults me back to Chrome when I use Chrome to Phone to send a YT link.
edit: It seems to go through an "HTCLinkifyDispatcher", is there a difference between these in craig0r's rom and ours?

When I go to Settings -> Apps -> All, I don't even see this app. So yeah, I'm guessing there's a glaring difference! Weird, more crap AT&T is imposing, perhaps?
Yup same issue here. Also happened with my vivid when i updated to ics

Thanks, that would have been a aggravated waist of time (for the attempt to fix the link issue at least)
I tried freezing htclinky whatever its called with TiBu and links in emails and in forum runner refused to open.
Same, even Chrome to Phone doesn't work.
I fixed this by disabling the stock browser in TiBU, but you will need to root your device. Links open in Chrome and YouTube apps now.

Google Now....so let me get this straight, for this to work...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8ePUYp6HPU&feature=youtube_gdata_player
So for my phone to work similar to the phone in the video, with it "popping up" first display result instead of the stupid browser.
I have to:
1) Freeze Browser
2) Change settings to "google.com"
3) Use US Voice
4) PROFIT???
Why can't we just have a simple google now that works without the freezing of the browsers? I'd like it to popup whenever I ask it something once, not direct me to the browser. Its just a pain, when your using Google Now and also want to browse something and you have to unfreeze the app....
Is their a work around yet?

According to everyone here, for us to use Google Now like shown in the youtube video as per OP. We have to
freeze browser (using titanium backup), change setting of language to "US English" (to not get that robotic UK voice) and redirect the search queries in the settings to "google.com" instead of "google.ca". It's just alot of steps to take to get this to work properly.
Essentially, If i do not do the above steps and use Google Now,
if i ask for "tallest building in the world" It will show me a list of browser searches....which is why Browser.apk is freezed to disable that feature.
Hope this helps clarify things..
I don't have to freeze browser or anything? I get the cards for searches. Are you running a ICS or JB rom?

Its JB, AdamG's rom. I get the browser searches as if I was searching in a browser...I want cards...
edit** ah, it seems like the "cards feature" only works for specific type of questions for me...more indepth questions sends me to a browser search...thats normal? and the voice doesnt speak back to me...how do i get that working?

CM 10.1 Epinter Olympus Text Issue

I can receive texts no problem, but when I go to type a new text (and this may be a keyboard issue) it allows me to type one or two letters, before the keyboard just goes away off the screen and I have to wait a few seconds and then click back into the textbox in order to continue typing.
This issue is occurring for me on the MB860. Has anyone else experienced this or know of a workaround?
That sometimes happens, maybe it's just an android bug, I'd suggest you get Hacker's keyboard it is very good and never crashes.
Hope this helps
If the problem still persists get another texting app.

AWESOME!!
Now I am running into one other small problem (and this I am sure is user error).
When I click on the phone and look at my contacts I am showing the same contact multiple times. But if I click on the 'contacts' icon, it shows accurate contacts/numbers etc.
What setting changes this?

I didn't see a way to delete the duplicate contacts. Anytime I click on them it calls, or if I click the settings button there is only an add option.
And a phone reboot didn't work That was the 1st thing I attempted, lol

You should get another contatcs app and import them, you should try long pressing your contacts

Long pressing does nothing. Let me try to use the proper terminology here...my "Dialer" is showing incorrect contact info but my "Contact" app is showing the correct contact info.
Should I try to get another Dialer...is that possible?
Oh, I don't have a phone that calls but maybe you should get another dialer apk like this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.contapps.android.dialer&hl=en

I think you can have two dialers at once. If not just remove the old one. Try installing it first cause without a dialer your os may malfunction.

I will give that a twirl and see how it works out. I am currently using CWM to make a full back-up just in case I get a little to trigger happy and mess something up.

How do I set this as the default Dialer?

I actually decided to get to the root of this problem and I took a look at my google contacts since I was loading the contacts from google. Somehow all my contacts were duplicated (some triplicated) in google contacts. I updated google contacts and now they are only pulling in once.
Now I still can't figure out how to modify a contact in the Dialer that ships with CM10.1 epinter tho.
Also -- Is there a way to keep your phone brightness @ max when it is charging? I can't seem to get that setting right either.
Try this maybe: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.DisplayBrightness&hl=en

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?

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.
