I love google now, but when I use it for an ordinary google search, I cannot open the links in tabs but have to view the link on the same page, diverting me from the google search results. I've also tried opening the results in my default browser but I can't figure out how to do that either.
Is there a way to get google now to allow tabs, or to share the search query with the default browser?
I stopped using Google now for regular google searches, unless of course I'm using voice (which I rarely do).
I find it annoying that the search results in Google now pop up so slowly, and the fact that when you press on a search result, it has to open it up in the default browser. If Google now was more integrated with the default browser I would use it more often.
Now, I normally just open the browser and type my google search in the address bar.

I quit using it for normal searches too, but I have the search widget on my homescreen and I prefer using that to launching the browser.
This frustrates me too.

Curious if anyone has found any kind of workaroinds method to get the "open in new tab" behavior?
I would have thought that by now Google would have corrected this. Silly me. .... They can't even provide "append voice note" in google Keep. I think their entire UX group for voice functions should be pink-slipped.

So I've tried using IMAP (but didn't like how changes on my end were not reflected in my Gmail account, and vise versa, such as having messages show as being read, or being able to archive them,...), and I've gone to gmail.com from Opera (but don't like the user interface, it's not optimized for phones).
I want to use the downloadable version, but I can't for the life of me figure it out. I go to m.google.com/mail on my Fuze, and it takes me to the same page that tells me to go to m.google.com/mail on my phone or to send a link to my phone! Where is the actual link to download it? If i click on "I'm on a mobile device" in the upper left corner, it takes me to a page where I can choose different google services, and when I click Gmail, it takes me to the web interface.
Where is this Gmail app I've heard such good things about?
Google keeps leading me in circles!!
Thanks for your help, this is driving me crazy!
Don't forget that Gmail have been experiencing problem today.

**problem resolved**
It turns out that I needed to use Internet Explorer, and not Opera or Skyfire. That sucked...
I just tried it out. All you have to do on your phone is open the web and then go to the google web page, sign in to your google account, and then under settings just enable handwriting...... My handwriting is crap and it still worked great....
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
Samsung S4, Verizon, Android 4.2.2, JDq39.GoogleEdition.I545VRUAMDK
On Wifi, everything works as expected. The problem is when I'm connected to a mobile network.
Problem: I'm only able to access *google.com* sites!
When I try anything else (www.xda-developers.com, www.reddit.com, www.theoatmeal.com, etc) I get a "This webpage is not available" message from Chrome or "Web Page Not Available" from Dolphin.
I cannot access Google Voice. I cannot access Google Play.
What is working:
- Google search results show up, but when I click on the web pages, they don't load
- Google Apps (gmail, calendar, etc work fine)
- Google's cached pages
- I can make and receive phone calls
I've tried rebooting, and installing a new browser (Dolphin) in case of a settings issue.
Any solutions? Thanks!

Tried that. The problem isn't loading search results (*google.com works fine). The problem is loading webpages from the search results and even when typed manually in the address bar.
In addition to *google.com, *android.com and *youtube.com pages also load properly. Youtube app works. Google Maps works. Gmail app works. Google Play and Google+ apps do not. Uber, Twitter and my bank apps do not.
When I load those that don't work, messages say there's a data connection issue. But, that's not the case, as some of the Google apps seem to function.
I have restarted the phone.
Do you have the correct APNs installed in your phone?
Just joined Google Fi. Is there any way to add "messages" to the google apps button?
Title says it all. I just left Google Voice for Google Fi and ported my GV number over.
Minor thing, but I miss having the function in gmail when I click on the google apps, then google voice, then it launches to web interface. I can't seem to find a similar setup for the messages for web app. Does this exist?
I realize I'm just lazy, but would be nice to have!
