ok, when i click on internet on my one s it always opens the last page i visited, sometimes this is great but most of the time i want to search for something, now ive set www.google.co.uk as my homepage hoping that when i click on internet it will open google straight away but its still opening from last webpage i was on.
is there a way to have my home page open soon as i open the internet please ?
Thanks in advance
Unfortunately not that I know of. Unless you close the tabs that you were using before you exit the browser. Or go to the home page manually, and then swipe Internet off Recent Apps.

Ahhh right, that's a bit disappointing........thanks for reply
Why not use the google search app or widget to search... it will open the browser
Close all tabs, open home page. Close browser and it should pop up next time you open browser. That's what I had to do

How do I get dedicated apps (YouTube, Play Store) to open links and not the browser/chrome?
The only way I have found it to work is to not have a browser installed. On my tablet links open up the apps but with my Rezound the browser takes over and by default opens all links.
The settings don't mean anything and no prompt even comes up when clicking a link asking what app I want to use to open said link, it just goes to the default browser automatically.
It like this on three ICS roms on my Rezound I've used.
There is a App Associations setting in the settings menu that seems to be messing up the way that it works.
From my experience...go into the settings menu of the the handset and select apps. Next scroll to your current browser under the applications list and click on it.
Then scroll down all the way and select 'clear defaults'. Confirm. That should do the trick and whenever u click on any link in any app it will prompt you to select an option such as YouTube or browser instead of just opening up automatically in a browser.

That's the deal, clearing defaults doesn't do anything . There is no more prompt, just launches the browser.

Can you make it more clearly?

Did anyone resolve this issue? I also have link association issues unique to ICS as well. For instance, I used to (w/gingerbread) be able to click a video link in google+ then it would ask what I wanted to view the video with (browser or YouTube), now all web links open in the browser only, no questions asked... What is with that? Same with links in gtalk.
Nope it a HTC issue

Issue has been corrected with latest Meanrom ICS ROM... guess it was just annother ICS Virgin Mobile Leak bug...

You can maybe try going to [Settings > App associations] and then select "Web URLs" and see if it gives you the option to select Chrome and see if that works.
Just a guess, I don't know if it will work with "Search".

Gah, I don't know how I missed that. I did it when I first got the phone but forgot to change it after installing the new rom
Or just press the Chrome button instead of the Search button when you want to search.

Im not looking to clear history im just wondering where internet history is located. Im looking for a internet link I looked at a few days ago.
If you were logged into your google account for say google bookmarks.. Take your Brower to google.com.. At the top left click your icon. Click next to your name in the pop up next to profile that says Privacy .. It will show all sites and internet activity ..
You will be surprised at what they collect from you unless you been there and edited the settings.
Good Luck
OOPS TOP RIGHT ... GRRRR

Very simple:
Click on bookmarks
On the bookmarkspage you have on top of page a selection called History
Click on History and it will show you all visited links
Don't look for the file folder too complicated, when you have everything in front of you with one click

bring up your browser then at the top right click on the little icon with the star in it. Its jist to the right of the magnifying glass.
An even better and easier way I'd to long press the "back button" in the app, the one at the status bar that looks like a u-turn that is. That opens, for some reason the history right away!

That was cool way to get there. Thanks
I love how everything on android is easy to accomplish, soit boggles me why google has decided to run its search engine in such cubersome manner... I press on quick search widget, no option to take me directly to default browser, instead I have to search in a simplified google search page where I can't even open multiple tabs, WTF ?!
Any way around this mess ?

Yes, custom ROMs. The Slim Bean ROM I'm using right now lets me open a new "google.ca" tab in my default browser (Dolphin) when I drag from my Home button.
I don't want to flash another ROM, any way to do that with just a root ?
Idk. I usually just click a link and it opens it in browser but otherwise idk.

Hi to you all.
I am not using the default browser or the default calendar.
However, each time I open an internet link it asks me which browser to use and if it is punctual or permanent.
When I select permanent it directs me towards settings/general/applications by default.
When I go there, I only find the choice between Touchwiz and Nova my launcher, nothing on browser choice (or Calendar for which I have same issue): no other menu...
Could someone advise where I got it wrong?
Thanks a lot

usually if should ask which app to use and give a choice of always or just once. What country is yours from? maybe it is a regional thing.
