I noticed it did that too, thought it was just my phone. Gone back to stock ICS now to wait for OTA update (next week hopefully). Want to see how it runs before using a custom rom again. Omega was nice but seemed buggy.

I just sent the link to myself in an email and clicked on it in GMail and it gave me the choice to open it in the Browser, Chrome or Play Store. I am DLIB.

How to get apps to open instead of links opening in Chrome Beta?

How do I get dedicated apps (YouTube, Play Store) to open links and not the browser/chrome?
The only way I have found it to work is to not have a browser installed. On my tablet links open up the apps but with this phone the browser takes over.
The settings don't mean anything and no prompt even comes up when clicking a link asking what app I want to use to open said link, it just goes to the default browser automatically.
It like this on three ICS roms I've used.

Go to settings>apps>all go to the app called internet and make sure that you tap "Clear Defaults" then go into the browser and click a YouTube link and see if that works.
I am having the same problem. The recommendation.above does not work for me. I am using CleanRom Pro. The problem appears to be caused by the "App Association" settings where links are directed to the internet app and other possible apps (for certain links like YouTube or GooglePlay) are not listed. As far as I can tell, there is not a manual way to add apps to the various actions. Can anyone recommend a different ICS ROM that doesn't use this faulty "App Association" setting?
Its like that with Nils ROM as well.
I am surprised nobody else has this problem.

I know this thread is old but I'm still having the same issue. I'm running the stock ROM for my HTC Vivid and I also have the same issue. I don't think the problem is related to the ROM. Anyone made any headway with this issue?

Google search .apk

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can provide a Google search apk. I do not like the search that is installed in all the new ROMs that first takes you to Google results then after you pick a result it takes you to browser I want a version that bypass that and takes me directly to Google results but in my browser. If anyone has an older version can you please share? I have found several searching online but the resolution on the widget is horrible. Thank you. So I'm assuming the one that I don't like is w. Google now I want an old version.

I think you've got to flash ics gapps as its jb, I don't like it either so if someone can help?
THISIS50.COM IF IT'S HOT IT'S HERE
Yeah im sure its something that is still being worked on but sucks that its included in all roms. Replacing app with google searck apk works but I think because of the difference in android 2.3 and 4.0 the search Icon looks all weird no matter which version you install but it dies replace google now

I sorted it with an apk from another rom everything works fine I would up but not able to.
THISIS50.COM IF ITS HOT ITS HERE
Removed. Sorry posted in wrong thread.
ROMs with Aroma installer give you the option to install it or not check it out... I just installed Team genesis Sense 4.1
And during instalation I didn't check the option and it installed the normal google search

If it is still of interest, there is an alternative available in play store: QuickSearch of Ozmium.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.ozmium.QuickSearch
Besides providing a widget, it's an app as well, doing what you described: opening the search results in browser.
Cheers

Website not linking to play store app

Ok this might be a dumb question but how do I get the play store to open when I click on a link for an app? It use to do it on its own but now it just opens up a new browser tab to play store via browser instead of play store app

Try clearing the defaults of whatever browser you are using, you might have accidentally chosen the browser and the remember check box when prompted. Settings->Apps->browser(whatever you use)->Clear defaults.

Tried that didn't work might just be the links I'm hitting off of Droid Life posts
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Hrmm, only other thing I can think of is maybe clear data for the play store? I would think any play store link should have the option to open the link in the play store app. I think even shortened links work iirc.

Tried cleaning play store app no go either...the whole reason I posted this question to begin with was because I keep getting this message...it'll go to web page of market app but then go straight to this page (screenshot) I have no clue what's going on here
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
So you get to this page, click install, and it sends you to that page? Trying to figure out exactly what's going on while I try and figure this out for you. I don't even remember verifying an app link default on this phone and currently can't find it anywhere... It seems that the HTC browser has a built in default for the web market and chrome has a default for the play store at least this seems to be the case on my device.

Thanks for trying to trouble shoot this for me I'll give you the whole break down...I'll go on Droid Life Twitter, click the web page link for one of their posts about some app they talking about, stock internet browser comes up with DL page and then I click on "play link" which use to pull up the option of opening either browser or actual play store....now it opens browser option then a window pops up that error no internet and goes to the screen that I posted...that's the whole run through
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
Try to go into browser settings->advanced and turn off plug-ins. I think I recall that happening to me before.
Ok so that did it for the browser errors thanks! Still no go on pulling up actual play store app but hey this way better than none cause sometimes I can't find apps when I do a search for new apps...rare occurrence but happens every once in awhile again thank you

Search trouble with jelly bean

I installed the AT&T jelly bean update a couple days ago and now when I do a Google search the links that come up from the search results won't work. I get a quick flash of the screen and then it goes right back to the search results page. I am not rooted, I'm running stock jb. Has anyone else had this problem? Any advice on how to resolve it? Thanks in advance!

Try clearing cache and data for the "Google Search" app.
So it appears to be a problem with chrome. I was using chrome as my default browser when I couldn't get the links from my searches to work. I tried opening chrome directly and the app won't open up. I switched my default browser to the LG browser and it works fine now. So now I need to try to figure out why chrome isn't working on my phone. Any suggestions?

Noticed that my chrome is glitching as well after jelly bean update. Plain clear cache/reset doesn't work, but uninstalling the update and reinstall works.

[Help] Chrome does not delete history

Alright, so I'm having this problem since a few months on both of my devices (Nexus 7 and Galaxy S3). For some reason, chrome keeps on remembering entrys of my history. It doesnt matter how many times I clear the browsing data, even clearing the app data doesnt work.
Web history and predictive search are both turned off.
Is there anyone that had a similiar problem and/or knows a solution? I attached a screenshot as example.

Root your devices then download system app remover and then remove chrome and download dolphin browser

Force stop your Chrome in setting, and you can find a clear data button in that page.

Tanks, but I was hoping I could keep on using chrome as I really like it apart from this problem.

I've done that (as stated in the op) but even this has no effect. It might work for a couple of hours, but after that, entrys that were there before clearing the data, return.

Actually chrome has some pinch in and out problem and downloading problem that's why I was suggesting you to try dolphin browser

If you like chrome, what's so good about it??
Press The Thanks Button If I Helped You :thumbup:
Come on guys, he asked a problem about Chrome, if he wanted to just switch to another browser he would.
Clearly something is wrong.

Thank you. I'm using my local account, so no web history is in play. The problem seems to be rare, I have been googling for a few weeks now but I have yet to come accross a similiar problem (on android that is).

A question out of ordinary using the same methods as a regular PC... have you tried uninstalling Chrome and installing again from the Play Store?
i would recommend re-installing from the play store as well.
I have tried that, no luck though. I'll try and report it as a bug to Google, might get a response from them aswell.
