Question about Android... - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

This may be a dumb question but I have used Android since my Htc Hero and always found this annoying and would like to see if there is a solution. When I have more than one browser installed it keeps asking me what browser I want to use. I mean the browser I clicked in my app drawer should be the obvious choice. Any help will be appreciated.

You need to check the box that sets what app you pick as the default..

If you install a new browser or update your current one it will ask again

You can always uninstall other browswrs and just keep the one you use. This will eliminate having to choose.

Orrrrrr you could use the stock browser and kill all others

Thats what I ended up doing. I got tired of always having to pick which browser. I just think that if I choose a browser it should stay on that browser.

For a while on my Infuse I just installed a different browser, selected it as default, then froze the stock browser in TiBu. Problem solved, both browsers still on the device if needed.
Though I have to admit, stock browser has come a long way since Froyo.

I'm running on Atrix with CyanogenMod Beta on At&t. Anyone else get this, or have similar problems. I'm not sure how to look into this, i downloaded aLog but not sure what i'm looking for to block.
You installed an (imo malicious) app that includes a notififaction add spammer called AirPush, use this app to find out what the offending app is and delete it.
Do that^
then kill it with fire

You can prevent imminent blindness by taping your eyelids open. This stops the squinting and resulting blindness! Been doing it for years myself!

Use quickpic, a very nice gallery replacer app from the market, choose "set as" but don't choose wallpaper, choose "quickpic wallpaper" it'll fit perfectly

I been wondering about that as well but never care much.Thx for the tip. Didn't even know there's a feature in the quickpic.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
I think it's some issue with stock gallery and tw frameworks.
Quickpic and some launchers fix it. I think all the custom ROMs I've run have fixed it as well. Annoying when I got the phone.

Are you getting a lot of forced closes and hanging apps?

I only have a handful of apps installed, including the go launcher but when I'm using xda, tapatalk, or even setting up Google voice, it closes on me.
Anyone else experiencing the same?

App icons just appeared from nowhere on my home screen? Spyware?

Just been using my phone, haven't done much, only app I just activated was Samsung apps, nothing else.
Just been browsing etc.
Any ideas where these came from?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, these apps do not appear in the installed apps list or titanium?

Which apps are you talking about?

This has happened to me before after downloading a game app....flooded me with crap exactly like that. Don't think it's spyware tho. I always just deleted immediately and never had a prob.

The only apps on the screen that are mine are xda and my camera and the search bar and clock, the ones down the bottom are also mine, the other four, "new message" "Droid apps" "slots" and "cab app" I did not install. Its the first time in I don't know how many years I've seen this happen.

I'm going to do a full wipe just to be safe, I've heard of crap like this just never had it happen to me.

They may presumably be app or game addons. Do you have any apps or games that constantly advertise they're products? They may automatically download they apps..
I'm assuming.. I have never seen this happen before..

Other functions for the search button

I remember back in the G1 days, if rooted, there were certain apps that would make function of the search button seeing as how most people never used it. Does anyone know of any apps out there that make more use of the search button besides what it does already? Like override the search option and do something else like launch a different app?
Soundhound launches if you long press it
Interesting. Any other apps?
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Note I717 using xda app-developers app
Oh, and handcent sms's "quick compose" function when you long press also, i forgot cause i have soundhound as the default.
That's the only 2 I've come across, add haven't been bored enough to learn how to remap it.
And I'm not an app junkie either, so there is probably a lot more with the long press feature.
also widget locker when long pressed.
