Anyone know an easy way to make Chrome always open in desktop mode?
I did a search and it looks difficult to me. I use my tablet primarily for surfing the web and watching videos but I really prefer the Chrome desktop mode. If it can't be done I think this becomes a serious drawback for using the S7 Plus.

Using adb is not complicated at all and just requires that you follow the instructions.

I'd say 2 answers is better than 1 lol.
Hey folks. Thanks for the suggestions but I don't even know what ADB is. I was hoping there would be some app to download and install. With any luck Google will make a change in Android 11 if they ever want to truly compete with Apple in the tablet business.
Ive been woring with the extensions with chrome desktop and find that that five dollar service fee is unnecessary. ill be looking for otherZZ because im blocking remote access from my isp. i guess anyone who blogs and downloads and uses software like nonstop is a developer. see my profile

Is there any YouTube Tab out there? I have searched and cannot find one....any ideas?
thanks in advance...
I think this would be nice, however I have never seen anything about a stand alone YouTube Tab. I wonder if someone could write the program to add the tab like the guy did for the Facebook Tab.
I searched for some info on how to make a custom tab, but I cannot find anything related to developing a tab.... any ideas?

hey thanks, but that is not what I was talking about....I want to make/find a tab for youtube (like the tabs on the slider, you know-the home, message, mail, internet, weather, settings ...etc,etc.. tabs?)...I also have youtube 2.6 BTW...
so I hope someone can help me out here, I am willing to put in work -the only problem is I cannot find the resources ?.....
+1 great idea
I think the guy working on the facebook tab found that HTC had done alot of the development work themselves and had hidden it away. Atleast thats how it reads. So maybe this isnt such an easy thing to do

Same here buddy, would be nice but doubt we'll se it happen any time soon..
yeah, I agree that it does not seem easy...seems like too much b$ just for something so simple....i dont know, I am not a newbie to programming, but this is like a whole other world of programming (or w/e you will call it)...
in theory: I would need to put a place holder for a new tab OR take an existing one and change it... have that tab point to/open up the YouTube executable and thats it!...
in practice (it seems): I would have to recompile/decompile/edit multiple manila files...? which even that is sounding much more easier than actual 'practice' of this theory...
any ideas?
this is such a great idea it would be very nice if they could figure this one out
it'll be even better if the dev's could skin the YouTube app a little so that it really intergete in sense
i really hope somewone is workingon this
sorry for my english hope ya'll understand my idea

this is a very difficult project for a very small gain.... to be honest - it may not be done at all, I would very much like to do this, but I think I should put my time towards something more significant...

thats some good info to know -thanks...maybe I (or someone, or a group of us) could port it over some way...
Hey everyone!! Well I am new to the forums and the HTC HD2 and smartphones for that matter. I am not knew to computers, but I'm kinda afraid to fool around too much with it blindly cause I don't want to break my brand new phone. Things I would specifically like info on would be the following.
1. Flash Support - Basically I like to watch a lot of streaming content online, and the Opera browser isn't loading my videos. So lately I've just been downloading them and watching them on the player. I would like to watch them straight from the site so I can have access to them without pre-loading them everyday. I only watch them off one site if you need specifics, and I'll provide my site later since I'm not aloud to as a new user. I know about Skyfire Browser, but for some reason the browser doesn't go into landscape mode.
2. WiFi Hotspot applications - Are there any free apps that allow me turn the phone into a hot spot? If so what would you recommend?
3. Is there a way to customize the boot screen when you power your phone on and off? I'm not digging the T-Mobile pink stuff.
Other then those three I'll slowly found out thing I would want to improve my experience with my phone. Right now those are my major ones. The flash one especially. Well hope to receive some feedback and thank you.
are you on usa tmobile? there is a forums for that on here. search it

Ummm yea lol. Like I said I'm new so not sure where to start. Thank you.
All, note sure if anyoneelse has seen or tried this but just came across a new browser in the market called dual screen browser. As expected it does what it says on the tin and its pretty cool. Its still an early build but worth a look.
I know i may get flamed for this post but i wanted to put this in general as its a good app.
It may not be a browser for every day use but good for cross referencing or just some almost desktop like multi tasking......let me know what you guys think.
That's cool, thanks for the infos. I'll give it a shot and see how it goes.

Its new info so no flaming but it does belong in Themes and Apps and not General
Nice catch. I'm going to check it out
can we leave it in general for a bit, so that others can see it....please
First impressions:
-It's got potential but as of now it need more works for sure.
-no url bars

Yea good spots. Also there is no favourites import from stock browser.
The reason i like it was bbc iplayer in one window catching up on some tv and reading a web page in the other
I'm apparently supposed to leave feedback in a thread that has nothing to do with the actual developer.
Edit: This isn't flaming the developer but the news guys. Dual window browser that is old here: https://market.android.com/details?id=biz.stachibana.MultiWindow&hl=en
Another that is oldish: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.mu.dualweb&hl=en
Thnaks for info, if this techno come's for Android Os maybe now no need more Win8 !!!
This page is just an example page, but it illustrates my point:
http://twit.tv/show/frame-rate/50
There is the "Add new comment" field, I can click in it and start typing but I CAN'T paste (or cut/copy) - no matter how long i keep my finger pressed on the screen nothing happens.
Any idea on how I could get to paste? (I don't have a dock)
Is there perhaps some softkeyboard which has a "paste" button?
A.I. type has a paste feature built in. There is a free version available in the market.
Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio using xda premium
having the same problem
Wow, that's really a bug then.
Thanks kushXmaster I'll try it out.
Ive had a similar issue since forever, and now am wondering if im the only one. Basically sometimes when im typing a reply, on xda for example in the stock browser, it wont let me backspace and when i tap to move the cursor it kind of tries to highlight text. Also if i move the cursor with the arrows built into hackers keyboard, it just highlights text. All this makes editing text near impossible. Sometimes i can get it to go back to normal but i have no idea how. Its actualy messed up right now as im typing this. Happens usually on forums like thisor blogs like droid-life.

Yes, it does. In fact, stock browser works also. I'll make a video tonight when I get home to prove it. Stay tuned for video proof.

I was about to write, "But it wasn't this site I had a problem with" when I released I hadn't added the link in the original post????? (Or did a mod remove the link??)
I'm not a newb, I know how to copy and paste, and it works fine on xda, but on some sites I can't get it to work, like this one:
http://twit.tv/show/frame-rate/50
Can you make it work there?
My comment about opera not working was because I couldn't get it to work on the twit site, just like the stock didn't work either.

First of all, we're not mind readers here. If you're going to ask for help, at least be specific. Can you imagine going to a doctor for a stomach pain but then only tell your doctor "hey doc, I'm in pain, I won't tell you anything else. Try to guess what my problem is."
This isn't scavenger hunt.
There are software incompatibilities with certain html codes for text input. Android tablet softwares are in its infancy. In fact, it is expected that not everything is compatible. Either learn to live with it or get an ipad. I hear those things are perfect.

Yeah up yours idiot. I asked if someone could help, if you can't, learn to shut up.
OK ok Sorry about that. Been a long and cranky day with a big headache.
So, sweety, for now there is no way around the incompatibilities between the online softwares and the tablet browsers. For all intent and purposes, the tablet platform is still in its infancy.
Apple has solved the incompatibilities by making their mobile safari to not show the contents at all, giving the illusion that everything is all right. Heck, apple devices crash just as often as everything else. The reason most people think apple devices don't crash is because when they do crash there's no error message. In android and microsoft, when something crashes there's an error or force close message. But in iOS, nothing shows up, giving the illusion that everything is ok.
The point is incompatibility issues are headaches you have to run into if you want to walk in the real world. If you don't want the choices and want to live in the blissful walled garden of apple where you're not presented a choice at all, then the ipad is your best choice.
In other news, flash just committed suicide.
Is there a way to get a browser like Chrome on my locked down Gabb phone? I'm really desprate at this point...
I am here asking how to get the browser (Safari, Chrome, Edge, etc) On the Gabb Z2 Phone?
My phone has all the app store and browser taken off. I tried figuring out how to get the browser again for months but found nothing but links I could not open.
A browser would provide more than useful for me, as I draw often and don't have a way to look up references, because I am not allowed the IPad in my room.
Any help is appreciated.
The phone is a locked-down one for child's use. IMO there's no chance to install any APK on it by your own.
