[Q] default android browser does not seem to work anymore

Hello Everybody,
Just joined this forum. I can see some threads with similar titles but none of them seem to have a solution. So I would like to ask again.
Recently I noticed that the default android browser has been unable to open any web pages. But opera mini (which I installed today) opens the pages fine. Has anyone else noticed this problem? Do you know what might be causing this problem? Any fixes?
(All other apps are able to access the internet fine... just the default browser can't.)
Regards,
SC
hey buddy i loaded devoid ant lost default browser can copy it for me plzz.
its in system/app/

[Q] Stock Browser Help!

Hey guys I seem to have lost my Gingerbread stock browser. I was playing with widgets and I wanted to make some space and "removed" my browser from the home panels..not the application panel. Now when I went into applications I cannot seem to find my stock browser!! How do I get it back?! Please help this is very annoying...
Also I don't want to use any other browser..I tried dolphin, and various others..I am not happy with them. Stock seemed to be the smoothest, fastest, and appealing browser to me.
You can't delete the stock browser. Did you check and recheck all the icons in your app drawer? It could be there, I know myself looking over an app for like 10 times, then discover I have it installed when going through the market.
Try a reboot or something, I hope it'll help.

I did a reboot. I'm not sure what you mean by app drawer? Is that the same as the "application" menu with all the apps installed? I'm new to android I just got the Galaxy S2 two days ago, so bare with me. I did the google search in my phone also to help me find it, and it cannot locate it. In fact you need the browser for it so when it asked me to view a web page it asked to use "dolphin" or "skyfire" not my "Internet" browser.
You can't delete Stock browser. You may have deleted the Widget but no way one can remove the system browser. Even I doubt it if it's possible to delete by TB, so it must there in Menu.
Regards.
Yes the App Drawer is the official name for the menu with all the icons. It's very weird you could remove the stock browser. And that you can't select it anymore.
Does your phone give any errors when using the dialer (the app you use to call someone)? Since the SGS2's Dialer.apk relies on the Browser.apk (filename for an android app), weirdly enough.
You cannot remove an app when using the home menu. At least not using the stock TouchWiz interface.
If you have no errors or problems, it HAS to be there.
This happend to me to on my galaxy tab. I think I did it with titanium back up. I don't know how you did it but you can reflash stock software with odin and get it back. You might lose your data.
It's working now. I spent a few hours trying to figure out what happen to the browser! I gave up. Funny thing is before this issue I flashed my ROM to Litening 3.2 I didn't like the bugs on it..especially the very heavy laggy internet bug! So I got a new browser didn't like it. While I was moving my widgets around I usually "remove" them and go back to my app draw to place them again where I want. I went to my app draw...no internet browser. After unable to figure it out..I reflashed my ROM back to the previous litening ROM 3.0. Then what do you know the browser came back! It has nothing to do with litening ROM, but I'm guessing it has a browser.apk in it so it installed it for me again.

Browser tabs go blank?

Hi,
Before this latest software update, my browser use to work fine when multiple tabs were open, but now, when I open quite a few tabs, they sometimes go blank / white and I have to exit the browser and open a few tabs to get it working again. Does anybody else have the same issue?
Thanks.
Ye i have this too when i use the back button. idk what it is
Thanks for the reply.
Anyone else having this same issue?
Yes, me too.

[Q] How to make Opera default browser in Android 2.3?

Hi Gang,
First post here. As per subject I would like to make Opera Mobile V 11.5.3 my default browser instead of the stock Android browser.
I have already done some research and found two suggestions, but neither have worked!
1/ Go to the Manage Applications->All->Browser and click clear defaults. On both Opera and Browser, the defaults is greyed out. :-(
2/ Open a link, say in an email, and when it asked for what to open with, click opera. I don't get that choice, just "browser" and "copy link" and "share link", no Opera.
The hardware is a Lenovo Ideapad A1, running Android 2.3.4. Not rooted. I am also using the Go Launcher Ex (which btw turns the A1 into something pretty decent).
I'm up for trying any suggestions!
TIA

Try re-installing Opera, then when you click on a link, check the box which says to use it as the default action then choose Opera.
tried, it no luck there. but thanks

Bump..
I also tried Dolphin - same problem. I even found a check box in Dolphin for the "Make Default Browser", but when I click it, suddenly up comes the crappy stock browser.
I wonder if Lenovo made that browser setting only accessible via root access. No, I haven't rooted the thing..... yet.
Help? Thanks
Try opening a html from sd card and when html is opening it will ask for browser notepad or other applications , try selecting opera and defaulting it here in this case
OK guys, here is my fix! It was rather heavy handed, but I just went and rooted the darn thing and removed the stock browser using Root Uninstaller.
I used paulnelson88's instructions from this forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355319
The REAL trick was installing the ADB drivers. I had to google that, which yielded instructions on the google site.
If you don't install the drivers it won't work. There are a couple of other "tutorials" out there that don't mention the ADB drivers.
Now I'm free to totally screw up my tablet! Yeah!

[Q] Browser question

Hey guys Im having a problem and its driving me nuts. Ive used Dolphin as my internet for the last 2 yrs, but I like the default browser for some reason. The problem Im having is the address bar is being cut off by the status bar you can only see half of it. Im writing this from my computer so I will post the screenshot from my phone in a minute but its really driving me nuts. I tried going into the apps and clearing the defaults but its not doing a thing. I tried going into the dolphin settings cuz I gave up and make that the default and I did and clicked it to be the default but everytime I click a link for something it takes me the HTC browser and the annoying half address bar. Any ideas how to make that address bar show in full or to make the dolphin as default because each time I set it to default I go back into dolphin settings and its still saying NOT default browser
i suggest using chrome beta if you use chrome on the PC. to change your default browser go to settings and scroll down to app assosiations. you can change the browser there

Ya I did that, but each time I click on a link it doesnt give me a option of the stock browser or dolphin even though I cleared it, it just used the stock. And when I go into the dolphin settings and click make dolphin your default and check the box and select dolphin, I go right to a link through GFB, Twitter, android central widget anything, and it goes through the default browser even after I just cleared the defaults and clicked it in dolphin.
Sent from my EVO using XDA
you dont clear it, you choose a browser to open links
I got it. For some reason I had to clear cache and data the stock browser and then clear as default, then for some reason I clicked on a link then it used Dolphin without having to select one weird. But thanks for the help, now its just gonna drive me nuts why the address bar is being cut off even though Im not using it. I might have to try out Chrome to, I use it on my computer but never on my phone
