trying to download swype how do I disable the popup browser? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am really getting frustrated with the experience of trying to download Swype for the first time, every time I click the activation link in the email it gives me a stupid message about can't download while in popup browser. The typical error message complaining that there is something wrong with no info on how to resolve it.
So I am trying to figure out how to disable the popup browser on my S III but can't find anything from googling that tells me how to do it.

Are you rooted? If so just freeze it r temporarily with titanium

have the same problem with galaxy s2..but not with my old galaxy s..
what phone do you have??
i think the reason is fb app is not updated for all devides yet..
That happens on my Nexus 1 as well; if I get a notification or something it will take me to the menu but it won't update.
Try opening the App itself and going to your messages from there.

Same problem for me. The app is very slow in updating. The message does come after a while but it's *after a while*.
I'd give -5 stars for the facebook app. I'm using the latest version on the market.

update you app or reinstall and install it again
just try to reinstall it
When trying to comment on something, the app stays with the image, adding comment and does not add the comment, even after closing the app and opening again i am brought to this screen, usually a reboot fixes it, but i think that should be necessary to in such an app...smh
i always get the problem that my fb pics dont sync with my contacts

What Android have you???
PS here are official firmwares >>> http://www.samfirmware.com/fwandroid.htm
I am also getting problem with this application , I thought its my phone problem but now it seems that its an application problem.
I don't get this particular error, however from time to time if I attempt to view a comment with media (video, picture, ect.) I get an error. Can't recall what it says right now, not sure it has happened since I installed NSCollab.
yeah.
1. When viewing albums photos the pictures load backwards.
2. The messenger and messages are pushed correctly/on time.
2 major problems
I've encountered this also in the Web page, I'm not surprised that's in the Facebook app too..

wow must have "sh*t on me" stamped on me.

Ok....very frustrating morning. A simple task as sending a torrent from me evo to my vibrant and have had nothing but headaches. The attachment sent but can't be touch in the gmail app on the vibrant running eclair. I can't update gmail thru the market cuz they're idiots. Wth? Why isn't there an update avail for it? Any assistance please. I can't update my firmware cuz the vibrant isn't activated. The Rom manager only gives me one Rom avail for the vibrant.
Thanks in advance....now I got to go get rounded before the hulk comes to play....so frustrated! Lol
Sometimes if I can't download a file with my email, I go through my browser to mail.google.com and it will download the attchment.
[Q] If the vibrant isn't activated can you even access the market or the web?
download ASTRO FILE MANAGER FROM MARKET go to settings scroll down all the way check option allow download , np . ( downlaod astro file manager from any site if not market paste it on your sd and run it)
Ya I saw ppl resorted to browser download but what's the point of having the app for convenience. Yes insured unknown app DL was enabled, still no gmail attachment DL. Guys has no one ever dealt with this? Why isn't there an update? How can i bypass this? My vibrant phone isn't activated to network but still usable as a tablet along side my HTC evo. Never had any issue like this before.
i have not have problerm downloading thing that are less than 5 mb not sure about about goin above it
and i download full roms on my phone from web pages

Sorry but this is for downloads. My issue is gmail and attachments...but thanks.
Ok after having to go to system panel to find any SW vers since no body thinks of these scenarios. I have v1.3 (r130) I try to search in tmo market no luck but HTC market has v2.3.2. Wth! This is why a company who depends on ad revenue only shouldn't be counted on for assistance and follow thru....ranting sorry. Thanks for the help again

Knock on your provider/OEM door - Google is not responsible for whatever OEM/carrier does with its OS.
Ummm ya they do. Sprint don't go in and add restrictions, its Google on be half of Sprint. Obviously there is a bug some where. Is there really no assistance on this? Feel like Samsung dev has been neglected. I doubt Samsung will direct exactly to the apk file. And if youve managed to speak with Google, you are of the divine! Cuz those fully automated omnipotent bastards are of no help!
Seriously? There is no way to correct this gmail problem? Just never gonna have attachments? I know if anybody had this issue there would be a post of some kind, but search has turned up nothing. What is the current version of gmail for vibrants? thanks for help guys
because torrents arent meant to be on cell phones... probly why gmail wont do it, jus use a file manager like they said above, and the carriers do lock down the OS... thats why we had to wait for tmo's froyo instead or google or sansung's
Hmmm helpful.... thanks guys : /

It does not matter how many pop up blockers you install, web site designers will figure out how to circumvent them -- it's how they earn their paychecks.

Will the force stop work to disable it forever?? i dont remember what was the app...
and is there any way to completely remove that process?? so it will not download any app automatically forever?
Try following the instructions you've been given.

that is not permanent. you need to force stop it every time you reboot the phone. try uninstalling the apps one by one and reboot phone after every un-installation. possibly cheap rated apps with ad support may cause this.
:good:
Alright. Thanks all for helping me.... im glad that this community is very helpful for all the android users....
Thnx Alot

Off Topic question about this forum.

When I come to this forum, I sometimes need to go back to a topic/thread that I started to reference information but I cannot find a way to do this. If I click on the member icon in the upper right hand corner of the page, all I get is a login popup and no access to my account. What am I missing here? Thanks.

If you enter your info in the login popup, what happens? It just repeatedly asks you to log in?
You tried different browsers?

Yes, it does repeatedly ask me to sign in. I am using the same Opera browser that I have always used. And now, I am not getting any email notices of replies to my threads either. Thanks for the reply.

My best guess is something privacy related -- VPN, browser setting -- is blocking this. One browser I use (Brave) won't let me search in XDA threads, while another (Chrome) does.
Just try another browser (like Chrome) temporarily as an experiment. If it works then check your Opera settings.

Thanks for the suggestion to try another browser. Chrome worked just fine so I looked at the settings in my Opera browser and for some reason, this forum was not on the exceptions list any longer. So I added this URL and all is back as it should be again. Thanks for your help. Now if I could get an answer to my problem with making slo-mo videos.

I've had this issue sooooooooo many DAMN times on my PC. Using Google to log in. It's a pain in the arse! Download XDA Labs. Easier to login and stay logged in.

As an edit, on PC, the new MS Edge seems to login fine. Something with chrome gives issues?

Thanks for the suggestion but it was a problem with my Opera browser that I now have fixed. The browser had somehow deleted this forum URL from it's safe list. Once I added the URL back into the list, all is fine. I don't usually use my phone for web related things unless I have to. I don't even check my email on my phone unless I am away from home for a long while.
