I've been hijacked by Asus! Not the home page but the DEFAULT home page. Ever since I registered my device with Asus, now every time I lauch my stock browser it automatically logs into my google account and launches asus.com, which is set to my default home page. It used to ask me if I wanted to restore my last browser session or start with my homepage, now it does not.
Even when I set my homepage to say google.com, the next time I reboot and lauch the browser it is getting reset to my DEFAULT home page which is set to asus.com. How can I change this to go to google.com by default and why is my chosen homepage getting reset with my default page as well as settings I have chosen (javascript, cookies, etc all getting reset to DEFAULT settings not my chosen settings for my chosen homepage) ???
Are you using browser2ram?
Mine resets itself sometimes but it goes back to xda which is what I have it set to. I assume you know how to change the default home page from settings?

Yes I am using browser2ram. You can change the home page from settings, but not the DEFAULT page (Menu>Settings>General>Set Homepage>(Popup bullet list: current page, blank page, DEFAULT page, most visited sites, other)
Its this default page that is set to asus.com and I can't figure out where to change that. No matter what I pick from the Set Homepage popup, say I choose most visited sites or other and set it to http://www.google.com, then next time I reboot and launch the brower it goes to asus.com which is the DEFAULT page.
ps-I have CMClient and DMClient and a few other system apps FROZEN. Could this be the culprit?

If you choose "Other" (under Menu>Settings>General>Set Homepage) you can supply your favorite opening page without ASUS interfering.

Not just the "Home Page" but the default.
On Android 2.3.4, in browser setting->More->"Set home page",
I set my home page to google.com.
However, the default is modified by unknow app to searchmobileonline.com.
And I have no idea how to change it.
Anyone has similar problems?
Thanks,
Have you installed the app "Amazon Appstore -Notifier&Tips"?
I read that this app adds the same link as you have (sorry, I can't post outside links, but google this link with words 'android app' and you will find another results).

try going to setting, apps, manage apps, select browser, scroll down and clear cache;defaults; and data, then change your homepage. if that dont work I would uninstall the amazon app.
For some reason since the update I've been wanting to use google chrome for my browser as default. I've gone into settings, application, all, the found internet (stock browser) and cleared it as default. I pressed back and immediately click on the stock browser again and come to find out it automatically made it the default again. I have no idea what I need to do to make google chrome my default browser. Anyone else having this problem with any other apps since the update? Even before when I would make dolphin my default browser, I would choose it in settings, and it would pop up on the screen to make one of my browsers the default. Did that method and still didn't work.
I fixed it, but for some reason it made me have to clear the data and cache for it to clear the default settings for the stock browser. Never had to do that before.

I have the Galaxy s3 with Verizon 4.1.1.
I have Google Chrome and dolphin browsers installed. Every time I launch an activity that calls for a browser I get the selection screen asking me to choose which default app to use. I have tried selecting dolphin as the default Always, and I have tried selecting chrome as default always, but no matter what I choose I can click the same link again and it will ask me again which browser to use. I tried uninstalling both browsers and the system let me choose the stock browser always and remembered it as default. When I put the other browsers back on, I have to choose every time again. This also goes for other default app selections. I've had 4.1.1 since Christmas and I still select default apps multiple times a day.
Help please!

If you are stock with root, just use either dolphin or chrome, but not both. Then delete the browser apk from system/app, that way only one browser is on your phone and you won't have the nag.

I use dolphin because it supports flash, and I use chrome because I prefer the UI. Besides, getting rid of only one still forces the nag default app screen between the stock browser and the remaining browser. I would have to get rid of both.
I am not rooted.
Is this behavior normal? I don't want to wipe the phone but I will if I'm the only one having this sort of problem. Does default app selection stick for other people, even when selecting a third party app?
This is more of a touchwiz question. When I click on a web link from some app I get a dialog asking which browser I should open the link with. It then designates that browser as the default and opens subsequent links with it. I want to choose the browser every time I click on a link. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance
This app had been working pretty good for me:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.aboutmycode.betteropenwith
It allows you to set a default app, or to show you the list so you can choose yourself. It also features a timer, so you can choose that it always chooses a default app if you choose nothing for a few seconds. It's very nice!
Thanks. It did the trick.
Hi everyone,
I can't seem to get my P40 Pro to set Waze as the default navigation application, or at least, the default handler for Google Maps URLs.
Does your "Default apps" menu look like mine? I want to start by double checking that I'm not missing a setting here.
As you can see in the "Open by default" screenshot, Waze should be opening all these Google links but it doesn't. When I click any URL like ""maps.google.com/....", it opens directly in the default browser (Firefox) without even prompting me to open with another app.
Any thoughts?
