Since shortcuts for web pages made on PC cannot be used to launch the browser on Android and open those web page links, is there an app which would allow you to browse files on your Android and then directly open url web page link shortcuts?

I'm having a small issue with Facebook on Android. However, I think it's an issue with Android itself, not the app. When I get an email from Facebook, and I click the link, my browser opens and takes to the Facebook page and asks me to log in. Why doesn't it open the link using my Facebook app? It doesn't even ask me which app to use, browser or Facebook (eg. if I have two different gallery apps, and I want to view a picture, it asks me which gallery app to use, and lets me set one as default at the same time). Is there any way to make Facebook links open the Facebook app, instead of launching the browser (or to have it ask me like it does with other apps)? The whole point of the Facebook app is so I don't need to use the browser to view Facebook.

I have tried Boat Browser and Dolphin, and they both behave the same way. If I google search for a youtube video through one of those browsers, and I click the youtube link from the google results... it will go to the youtube mobile page within the browser (rather than open the youtube app and play the video).
How to force the youtube app to always play videos linked from browsers?
I get a google calendar invitation in the GMail app, but when I click on one of the yes/no/maybe links, it opens in the browser, not in my calendar app.
I immediately tried to clear defaults, but none existed on gmail, browser, chrome or calendar app. I tried disabling browser/chrome/ and bionic default calendar, and installed Google Calendar from play store....problem still happened.
(edit, of course browser/chrome didn't open when they were disabled, but I was surprised that Google Calendar also did not open). I'm rooted, but running regualar moto ics
I'm at a loss. I know a number of google updated a number of apps lately, wondering if that broke something.
I can't seem to find a way to open links in new tabs. If I want to open several links, they all open in the one window so I'm only left with the last link I clicked on.
I've also tried long pressing the links to select 'open in new tab' but this option doesn't come up. When I long press links all I can do is select text.
Ideally I'd like to set a default to always open links in new tabs, but I would settle for a work around (like long press) if that actually worked.
This always worked on my old phone, but it seems like they've removed this functionality.
Why cant I open links that are posted on my facebook from my Incredible?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'd like to be able prompt my app to open link (instead of the browser) when the user clicks on a URL of a given pattern. This could be when the user is on a web page in the browser, or in an email client, or a WebView in a freshly minted app.
For example, click on a YouTube link from anywhere in the phone and you'll be given the chance to open the YouTube app.
How do I achieve this for my own app.
I've had my nifty ZTE Warp for a while now and I'm pretty happy. One thing that's a bit annoying, however, is the email application on my phone. When I'm on my laptop, I frequently delete or sort my emails into various folders through Gmail. The actual Gmail app on my phone will reflect such changes instantly. However, the 'Email' app on my phone seems to store every single email I receive, whether I delete it or not! It also sends me copies of my sent messages. I have two Gmail accounts attached to my phone and I have this same issue with both.

Is there any other way to find out which carrier this device belongs to? I have called Verizon, U.S. Cellular and CSpire and neither of them can find the MEID in their system.

I made a Calender with the fixture list and used the public URL to share it with the team, most of whom then imported it to the calendars on their smart phones. I then tested to see if I changed information on my calendar if their calendars would update. I found that the IPhone users calendars did but not the android users.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI have an Android LG Optimus Q (through Straight Talk). Because I wanted a screenshot app and to be able to have more "internal" memory, I rooted my device today and did a couple of other things.
1) I first rooted my device (and therefore installed SuperUser)
3) I installed Terminal Emulator
2) I downloaded CWM
3) I made a back-up (it said Done...)
4) I installed ROM Manager
5) I created (or at least I think so, since I went through all the steps) a second partition in my SD so I could create more "memory" destined to be used by programs.
6) I downloaded Link2SD and moved a couple of things to (I think...) the second partition in the SD
Everything was going ok, even though I wasn't sure if the partition had been created or not because I couldn't find a way to check it... until I went to check my 800 pictures and... they were all gone!!! I decided not to freak out at first because I remembered that I had made a backup directly through CWM... so I tried retrieving it through there... and nothing - nothing found... WTF?!
So I tried checking for the backup through ROM Manager, and... NOTHING! There must be a way to at least recover the files... You know, like when you accidentally delete stuff in your camera you can still recover it with a program... is there anything like that? or steps I should follow to recover the backup? I had pictures of my kid there and I just REALLY don't want to count them as lost.
I was using WildChild custom rom for my WildfireS and created a SMS backup before flashing and moving to m1ndh4x8 ROM. In this ROM there is no backup/restore function though.
How do I restore my messages? Can I upgrade the stock message app? Or is there any B&R app that can read the backup file? so far I tried many but non of them worked.
Any nandroid backup explorer for backups made with CWM 6+? Neither App Extractor and Nandroid explorer works.

I'm loving my new Note 2, and hating my formerly loved Macbook Pro. The latest in a series of fails is this: I have a 64gb sandisk sdhc card that was working in the Note just perfectly, but the macbook could not read it via its card reader (or any other way, really). Like a fool, I tried reformatting it in the mac's disk utility. That failed halfway through, and the card will no longer mount in my Note 2. Thus, I can't format it there, at least in any way I know of.
How I might be able to reformat the card, it would be lovely. I heard about a windows app called bootlce, but I don't have bootcamp set up right now (and my only windows copy is xp, not sure if that would see the card either).

Some of my closed apps automatically start when internet connection is opened.How do they sence the connection is opened?Is there an app that can stop them from opening?
My app killer will kill them when I manually hit the kill bottom or when the phone is locked.But there is no settings that stop them from starting and running after I start my data or WiFi connection.
When I click on an Internet link in an e-mail opened in K-9 that nothing happens. However, if I long press on it, I get the option "open for viewing" which will open it in Chrome.

Im working on a video stream app with a friend and we are ironing out bits and bobs. Just wanted to when sharing a video link i.e. youtube, how include the title of the video, not just the link.
View 1 Replies View RelatedII have a Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0. I'm mostly using it to do all my uni readings/annotations. When I clicked on a PDF on my university page, it downloaded & delivered itself to the download app.
Within the PDF are links to online journal articles that I need to access. However when I have the PDF opened (I was reading it in Kindle) I can't click on any of the links/hypertexts.
So I guess my questions are:
1. How do I get my links back to being clickable!
2. If this involves opening it in a different app, which ones is best?
3. Any other tips for a literally brand new android user...or links?
I have installed Locus and OruxMaps. Both apps use the same vector map format - mapsforge. I would like to share one map file for both programs. Is it possible?
I know Linux allows to use hard links, but I doubt it is possible with FAT32 (the SD card filesystem).
how could I share the maps between the 2 programs?
I had an mature app, eg. like - [URL] .... I then would it be allowed to have adds or links that would redirect the user to a site where same kind of app would be able to be downloaded but full nude? Didn't quite find exact answer from Google Playstore policy.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI've recently been experiencing a series of pop-ups in an Android dialogue box occasionally when I click links that I know are clean.A lot of them are dialogue boxes that say "Congratulations, your US number has been chosen for a gift - press the OK button to continue"
and the only way out is to either press the Okay button or force stop the browser.The browser it most recently happened with has been with Dolphin Mini browser - can't remember if it occurred through my Android's native Internet browser or not, either way it takes me to a site called Mobgifts(dot)org
I did some research and some said it was a virus, but I have Lookout installed on my device and scan it weekly and just did a scan yesterday - all was clean..
TL;DR: Internet links in browser lately have been unescapable diallogue boxes that say "Congrats you won this" and you have no other options than to either force quit or press Okay then exit.
I have installed Dolphin and like it, and I've made it my default browser, which is great. However, it is not only the system default, but it even opens links I click on in the Android provided browser (sometimes I both open). On your computer, when you click links in your non-default browser it doesn't send the links to the default one, and it shouldn't on this OS, either. Any ideas how to keep Dolphin as my system default browser, but not have it open links I click on in the Android web browser?

Normally if there is a link, in my case a podcast, and if you long press the link it pops up with a menu and one of the options is to "save link" which is basically the same as right clicking on a PC and saving the target as.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI don't know why, but when I type something into the Google search widget, it will open up a browser, I think Google Now, and then when I click on a link, it will open the link in Chrome, but in Incognito mode! I don't know how to stop it from doing this, and just open links in regular Chrome.
Have tried closing Chrome + Incognito tabs, restarting device, uninstalling Chrome (which isn't possible).

Is there a way to have backups made manually and scheduled backups displayed in separate lists? I would like to have my manual backups in a list(with max history) and backups scheduled weekly and daily in a different list with a different max backup history(3 for daily, 2 for weekly).
