I don't know if this is specific to this phone or not but every time I click a YouTube link I am directed to the the website instead of the app. I have cleared permissions and un installed updates to no avail. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Check app associations in your settings... It should ask you what to launch unless you have already set it to go directly to the browser

My YouTube asks everytime I hit a link if I want to open it in the browser or the YouTube app and won't let me set a default. My app associations menu doesn't list anything related to YouTube either.
So my question is this -- where are you launching the links? It's possible that it's a problem within your browser, so you might want to try a different one and see what it does. If it's not from the browser (Facebook, etc), it might be that app.

I have a guide that solves this exact problem, sadly, you need to be rooted. So as soon as you are rooted (or if you're one of the lucky ones who is rooted) check out this thread right here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696536 it will work on your device and solve your issue :good:
great - thanks! now I just need root for the Inc 4g

Every time I click a YouTube link in the default HTC browser, it opens the mobile YouTube website.
On my phone (HTC Sensation), it asks if you want to open the YouTube app.
Has anyone else run into this issue and found a fix?
You might need to go into settings/ applications and clear the defaults on the browser. It sounds to me someone bumped the check mark of the pop up to use the app or the browser as default.

On gingerbread I was able to click Youtube links from any application and launch them using the youtube app. I was prompted once to do so and every time thereafter the app would launch.
Now on ICS, i never once got the prompt to chose internet or youtube app, it just launched every youtube link using the browser which i detest.
Does anyone know what option/default i have to clear to get my app back as the default for links?
I tried clearing defaults for the browser and any apps that i usually click youtube links in to no avail.
Thanks for any info...
It has to do with crapple and its patent suit. The app associations is the work around that HTC has come up with. Presently there is no way around this. It sucks, we know. Blame crapple.
Oh wtf... Lame

Hi,
I am using Galaxy s3 and upgraded it to Jelly Bean.
Till now whenever I used to click the link in S3's default internet browser, I used to get the app to open it. For e.g. if i clicked on Google play link, it used to open google play appl. Or if I click on youtube link it used to open youtube app on my android device.
But now, every time i click on any such link, it opens app in web browser. It is very much annoying.
I have cleared all the defaults of all the apps like Internet, Youtube, Google play etc but the issue still continues.
Seniors can you please help me in this issue. I really tried all the things but no success.
Awaiting for your help.
Kind Regards,
Anoop.
Possibly not much of a solution but try using a different web browser, there are far better than stock. Try using dolphin browser HD or Chrome. There are a few more but they are the ones I recommend.

Has anybody got a solution to this? I'm also facing the same issue.
go to settings - applications - your browser - clear defaults.
then click a play/YouTube link and just choose the corresponding app

Doesn't work...interesting thing is even after clear defaults from dolphin as well as stock browser, it only gives me these two options to choose from when I click on any youtube link,e.g. in FB. It never gives me an option to select youtube app.
I'm on Viking 5.1 | Android 4.1.2, although I'm sure the ROM should not matter. I remember it used to work on 4.0.4.
Hi,
for some reason I can not open youtube links with my youtube app anymore. It used to be like I was able to choose whether I would like to open the link with my brother or with youtube. Now for some reason I can only choose between Android Browser and Opera. Youtube option is gone. I have googled this problem and found a couple of people having the same issues but no solution. Can anyone of you help?
Things I tried:
erase Data from Browser, Opera, youtube, facebook. --> no changes.
None of the apps is running as standard app.

I had some problems with the Youtube app recently, it just said "an error occured" and in the logcat it mentioned something about not being able to authorize my account with google services. Turned out the latest version of the app is just crappy. Downgrading back to 4.1.47 fixed all issues for me.
I don't know about you guys, but I used to have all app links (play store links, youtube links, etc.) and downloads start in the stock browser by default in MIUI 6, with no way to open them in app. After posting on the MIUI english forums, I found a temporary workaround.
You'll have to uninstall the stock Browser app (I prefer Chrome anyway). Then clicking on app links or download links will give you the app chooser dialog.
(If you are unwilling to uninstall your stock Browser, move on...I can't help you...)
For this, you'll need root access (if you got MIUI 6 you're on the Dev fw, and have root access anyway). Use an app with root uninstaller capabilities (I use ES File Explorer)
(Oh, and the stock Browser will get reinstalled after every update, so you'll have to repeat this every week till the Xiaomi devs actually fix this)
EDIT: 4.9.26 update DID NOT reinstall Stock Browser for some reason...didn't have to do all this again!
Freeze/Disable
For me, It reinstalls the stock browser at every boot/reboot. Hence, uninstalling didn't solve the problem.
The only solution I've found so far is to Freeze the app using Titanium Backup. (needs Donate version)
Let me know if the app can be freezed using some other free app. Thanks
You can also set chrome as default in setting..that way you don't need to uninstall stock browser
Setting Chrome as default doesn't help. It will still open external links in stock browser.
Please try to understand the problem @sbr
That is why we are having a discussion here. Freezing is the only solution.

even with chrome set as default the stock browser will still intercept certain types of links. usually those shortened links for youtube,maps,play store.
i did the same too. uninstall after every reboot

Freezing default browser does the job.
