[Q] Links and default Apps not opening - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there I just notice on the weekend that my wife sent me a link from her GS2 using the LOCAL app on her phone ..found the Address/ Place that we wanted to drive to the shares that via SMS to my phone and on all other account I would just open the sms and click the link and it would open the MAP app .. but this time it opened the browser ahhhh.. Anyway the next day I cleared all defaults from all browsers SMS apps and Map Apps .. now when i click the link I get the Default action prompt but only options that I have are Firefox or Internet ... My wifes Phone is still on GB and she get Maps, Navigon, Internet ect ect. I did read somewhere on XDA that HTC had something done due to apple law suit .. is this the same thing or what... Thanks

whats talkback?

whats talkback it gave me an install and update like an app and shows in myapps but dosent come up when i look for it
TalkBack is a screen reader that provides spoken feedback when using native Android applications.
For people with disabilities.
Cannot uninstall unless rooted.
It doesn't read internet pages nor anything beyond your own tablet's system menus and screens. The only and big exception are native applications, basically, Google apps. For example, when you start Gmail, Talkback reads the subject of each mail you tap; when you push any hardware button, it says which has been pushed.

[Q] How to force web browser login when using my school WiFi??

My school WiFi requires that you visit the website and login before you can have internet access. The problem is that the website doesnt always pop up automatically when I open my browser. I have saved the website to my bookmarks in the past, but even then It won't let me go to it manually (because there is no internet web browser access)
Is there a way to force access of the login page on these types of connections?
You could set up a shortcut to the log in page and make the shortcut what you use to open your web browser on campus.
I've never made a shortcut for a website on Android so I'm not sure if all browsers will support it. But I'm certain there is a way.
What you'd end up with is the log in screen ALWAYS being the landing page when you started the web browser using that shortcut.

I used to do that, the only problem is that sometimes it doesn't work. Sometimes I would go to that page and it wouldn't load because my device doesn't have access to the internet -___-
I need another option, like if there's an app or a way that forces the login page, not just tries to access the URL of said login. You know? It sucks I know -___- lol

[Q] Question about Transfer

Hi all,
I have a question,
Im using a smartphone Galaxy Alpha and also Tablet Galaxy Tab S both Connected on LTE.
Im a courier and i wanted to see if this would be possible somehow.
I have a list of orders where to go in my Gmail which is being send every morning.
Im currently using my tablet only so i open Gmail , open the email and click Navigate which opens a link http google maps, but i have it default so it opens a Route 66 Instead of google maps.
i was wondering if its possible somehow to open the Gmail or any email client on my smartfone and send the link to the tablet somehow so it opens a new navigation on the tablet as everytime i have to press recent key, click on gmail and click on the order in the email to open new navigation and its just pain in the but where if i would have my phone with the list of it , it would be open all the time and i would just click Navigate and it would send it to the tablet.
Thanks for helping.

I'm not understanding the exact problem you're presenting.
You use your phone to open the email and want to be able to open the navigation to your tablet without any extra work?

Have you tried NFC? You can touch two phones together and share certain things.
PM me so I can have you forward me an email so I can test out some methods to get that to work. You can delete personal stuff when you forward it just leave the link for the maps.

I thought about nfc as well but they have to touch each other and the phone and tablet will be next to each other. my tablet is build in the car dash and the phone is in a phone holder right next to it.
i will forward you the email but i just need you to pm me the email.

I could not get route 66 to run so I used Google maps.
Pair your devices via bluetooth.
- Open the directions in Maps
- Click the route you want to take
- Hit the three dots in the top right corner
- Hit share directions
- Hit bluetooth and select the other device
On the other device you have to accept it but you should be able to check "Always allow".
After it transfers, click on the notification, then the file and now it should load it on the tablet. It does seem lengthy but after you get used to it and use it for more than a day you'll be able to do it seemlessly.
Hope this helped.

[Q] Facebook Browser Always Crashes

It seems like anytime facebook opens a browser it crashes. What browser is everyone using that is stable? I'm getting tired or waiting for it to give me the hung message so I can close it. Bee trying Chrome and it has the same issue.
I don't have this issue and I have even opened pages from Facebook where it has a lot of images and ads with javascript and all.
K. Maybe it's a one off issue. I'm gunna backup and default it. See if that fixes it.
They do it on purpose so that you download the application so they can steal all your personal info on your smartphone. Browsers have security features built into them that do not allow them access to all your personal stuff. Their browser never crashes on regular browsers while using a PC. What you could do is just but a small device like an iPod and have nothing on there except maybe Instagram and Facebook. Then they have nothing to steal from you. Just use it to log on to Facebook or Instagram after and the heck with their permissions after.

In-app browser

Hi xda developers !
So i have a problem, since i updated my rom i have a new in-app browser(i guess you call it like this). The problem is that the new browser doesnt open pictures as it should, so when i am on reddit/facebook.... and i open a link with a picture it simple doesnt show or just shows a little. I have google chrome and the default browser, i tried to freeze the default browser and using chrome and also tried even using dolphin but it simply doesn't matter, the images continue to don't show. I wonder if there is an in-app browser and how i can change it or if there is another way to fix my problem.
Thanks
