Chrome shows Wiki app is installed - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Since some update ago, not sure which one, my chrome browser shows that I have Wikipedia app installed when I don't actually have it. I don't know where to even begin to troubleshoot this issue other than add and remove the wiki app.
Attached are some snapshots of the issue.
Your help is really appreciated it, thank you.

Exact same problem on my Nexus 4. I even did a factory reset and the association came back!

Anyone out there with new information?

Before updating to the newest chrome, clearing data in privacy fixed it; but that's not the case anymore. I DID find out that it seems to be linked to my google account. Logged out of chrome, the association went away. Logged back in, repeat the same search, and it's back.

Facebook App Going To Mobile Page!

Anyone having issues today where the Facebook app takes you to the mobile page? I've even rebooted the phone and same problem..the app simply takes you to the browser and the mobile page.
I have the same problem, it's irritating as hell! I can't even get to the main menu, it goes right to the mobile site.
oh god i was about to slam my phone on the floor. i thought it was mine.
I've uninstalled the last updates...but that basically puts the "stock" Facebook app back in place that the Infuse came with...it works though...
i cleared the data and it worked for a while then went back to the same thing... OPTIMUS PRIME DISAPPROVES
I'm sure this has to do with facebook and their shenanigans with changing the API so much...
I uninstalled the app, then reinstalled it. It's been working as it should for about an hour now.
Edit: Scratch that. I spoke too soon. Going right to the mobile web version once again. Even that is acting weird.

I'll keep it on the "stock" version until they fix this...I also had FORCE CLOSE when checking in at a specific place with this latest update.

I had been having some serious lag issues on my phone, mainly in the launcher(s)...since I removed the Facebook updates and went back to the stock one, lag seems to be gone..not 100% sure that was the cause but I like it right now!
FriendCaster Pro is much better than the Facebook app.

same issue with fb
I wonder if this is related to the rampant app autoblocking that Facebook started yesterday? More collateral damage?
It might resolve itself later today - I know my photos uploaded by KDE KIPI (another victim of the rampant autoblocking) are back.

Hi all of you ! just go to settings, applications, manage applications, go to facebook app and push clear data. Works on my captivate.

(Solved) Google now launches browser

Every time I ask Google now, like "what's the weather today", it almost responses a result and a voice answer when suddenly the browser launches and gives me a Web search.
I installed chrome and none of the settings has been modified.
So, could anyone have a solution?
Thanks a lot

Can't open any links from the Facebook app

Hi, the problem I'm facing is that I can't open certain links that are on the Facebook app. I didn't used to have this problem, and it's only started a week or 2 back.
I have changed my browser and cleared all data on the fb app. But this hasnt fixed the problem.
- also the links work fine on my laptop
Has anyone got any ideas on how I can fix this problem as it becoming a bit of a pain
Thanks in advance, Mo
Try clearing the defaults in Facebook and the browser?

Did the facebook app update a week or two back? Might want to make the developer aware of this.

Google Search has Stopped.

Hello all. Man, it's been a while. Well, on to business.
I just downloaded the most recent update about... A month ago or so I think?
The past 2 weeks, however, my Google search has stopped working. If I access the app or click the search bar on my home screen, it pops up for a second, then crashes and gives me the option to report. Also crashes when I try to use voice in Chrome.
So far I have:
1. Cleared cache, data, etc.
2. Uninstalled updates. It didn't work before re-updating it, and I have now done this 4 times.
3. Reinstalled updates to no success.
4. Attempted to backup my phone with the stock backup, only to have it fail, thus blocking a factory reset (don't want to lose my data). This is ALSO an issue I am having, so advice here would also be appreciated, though not necessary. I think my broken GoogleSearch messed it up anyway.
Has anyone found a solution to this? Is anyone else having this issue? Or has my famously bad luck rendered me the only one again?
I am running a bone stock D800, unrooted. Please no hate for my lack of root; every time I root I seem to break something (bad luck, not inexperience!), and I tried to keep from it this time.
If you have just a patch or workaround that's perfect. My goal is to keep my G2 functioning until April 2015, then I can get a new phone. Any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Bump. It's getting worse. It used to only do it when I opened the app. Now it does it at random about every twenty minutes.

Voice recognition is completely gone everywhere now.

Bump. Finally factory reset since apparently nobody across several different forums knows what's causing this. Guess what? Still broken!
Could really use any help at all. This is driving me insane.
Never mind! Apparently the update decided to go ahead and brick my phone today. Won't even boot to the LG logo. Had to buy a G3. Fantastic.
Would appreciate it if you closed this thread, mods.

Exploit in XDA Android app.

Hi.
There seems to be a problem with the XDA app. Just before Christmas I was using the app and I was automatically taken to a web page and it started to download a betting app without my approval. Today I had another issue where it automatically took me tp a webpage and opened up lots of android system pages, there were so many I could not swipe them all away so I had to reset my device.
I am using a Nexus 10 with stock Lillipop unrooted.
I have a hunch its the ads but not 100%. Is anyone else experiencing problems?
Same here, anytime I open XDA, it opens up LYFT or UBER in the Play Store. Guess XDA wants to flood us with advertising. Welcome to the new world of advertisement.
Nexus 6 (lollipop)
Thanks Mike. At least it's not only me. Maybe it's time to root lollipop and install adaway.
