Open links from messages in other browsers? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

So, anytime someone send me a text with a link, the link opens up in a preview version of Samsung Internet (I force closed apps to figure out what it was). Then if I want to open it in a full browser, I click the three dot menu but im only able to choose Samsung internet. Iv checked webview settings and they are all unchangable. Iv set all defaults I can to chrome. It wont let me change app link settings. I dont know what to do. Iv included pictures to help.

Settings/apps/3 dot menu/ default apps/ Browsers/ Chrome
Edit: just realized my idea didn't work either. It works using Android Messages but not Samsung Messages ?

same thing sprint s8
just got the latest oreo update and the mandatory use of samsung internet in messaging has been applied to my settings too. a few days ago it said chrome was my option to open links, now it's not. can't disable samsung internet or delete it either. would love to know if there's a fix! thanks
edit: i'm glad to know i'm not crazy and this just changed itself on me!

If you install the latest Samsung messages apk. (S9 version) you can set the default browser as I explained above and it will work like a charm ?

Good question! I guess you could drop in on you computer and run a virus scan on the apk. I have been using it for a week. I haven't noticed anything odd. But that don't mean anything. ?

I get 'app not installed' when trying the latest version. Any help?

If you have a previous version of the app installed and are trying to install your "latest version" over it, you will need to un-install the previous version first. That "latest version" you are trying to install may be signed to another user if you didn't get it from the Google PlayStore and the app is looking at the previous version as being in conflict with your latest version. Uninstalling the previous version and then installing your latest version should be successful.

Yes, that is normal, as it isn't available in the Google play market yet, in most regions. When it's available through the play store, login through Facebook will then be possible.
Ok, thanks. I wonder if I play and make progress, when it is available here and I login facebook, if it will keep the progress on my cell and merge it with facebook, or wipe it fresh. Either way it seems pretty fun vs the original as something a little different.

If you can't get into the player you can use the seperate mx log collector application to dump the log. With out proper log it's not possible to identify these kind of issues.

Are you using patched version?
In my knowledge there is no error before running mx log collector.
Please reinstall from playstore and try again.

Are you installing from the apk?
Eventhough you have purchased from playstore, sometime It may happen when you side load the app.
Try to install from playstore itself.

Just today I installed Fontfix, (even though the app, states it does not work on S7).
I had a hard time installing it at first, then i discovered two major steps. 1) you have to have "install from unknown sources" checked, which, is weird since its coming from the play store. and 2) you have to go into the app settings and find where it says install method and change it to root.
That's all I did, and now have "Gloria Hallelujah" throughout my whole system. If you have any questions or problems don't hesitate to ask. I get on just about every day or so, hoping to see any kind of mods or development for this S7, which, is scarce.

I found the APK for play services online with a little search so i installed it but then my google play still not work until i found the GMS pack on hiapp.
By the way, 2 additional questions:
-My google now voice is not working although i followed the steps to activate it as usual..
-Notifications dont work unless the apps are opened. I thought with B175 update it was supposed to have been fixed. It was fixed for me for a while but now neither whatsapp nor telegram send notifications unless apps are open.

[GUIDE][5.0+][TESTING] Enable Instant Apps

What are Instant Apps?
Check out at Android Developers Website
How to enable them?
First make sure you meet the following requirements:​
Android Lollipop 5.0+ Device
Any Activity Launcher
Latest Play Store (Check through Play Store>Settings>Play Store Version)
Latest Play Services(Dont worry, Updates are automatically installed)
A working BRAIN!
Then follow these steps:​
Launch the activity com.google.android.finsky.instantapps.SettingsActivity
Select an account for Instant Apps
Follow the on-screen instructions
Let Google Play Services for Instant Apps download and install
Open Google Play Services(Lollipop:Through Launcher Icon, Marshmallow:Settings>Google)
Tap on Instant Apps and check if they are enabled
How can I use Instant Apps?
Search for an Instant App, say, Wish(more are given in the Android Devs Website), and see if there is written Instant. If there is, then tap on it to use it.
Why the title says "TESTING"?
They aren't available in my location. I haven't tested( and tasted) one yet.
I can't see Instant written in the card
They are probably not available in your country. Be sure to check if they work on MM+ and share the report with me.
I just enabled Instant Apps on my device. What now?
Play around with some Instant Apps and don't forget to press that Thanks :good: button.​
