[Q] HELP - Browser Issue Redirect (Hijacked?) - Motorola Droid RAZR

Hi,
I was wondering if you could help. Either Chrome or Stock Browser has the same issue. If i go to touch.facebook.com or m.facebook.com it just downloads a file and won't open the site. If I switch it to "Request a desktop site" and go to the same page, it will open the mobile version of the site. Ive tried deleting my hosts file and starting a fresh as well as clearing all data,cache,history and force closing both apps.
Still the same issue....
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Factory fresh flash and SD card wipe?

Many thanks to chopper the dog for this package !
To verify URL search ...
Enter search terms for the URL .... verify it goes to Google to search
To verify Bookmark deletion ...
Launch the browser
Click on the bookmark icon
Long press on VZW bookmark
Scroll and select "Delete bookmark" ... verify that you get a message that Bookmark <name> will be deleted.
Click OK

Works!
Confirmed working google search. gj.
If anyone wants the browser setting to pick the default search engine to work... I think it's a different question... But I'm glad I have google again.
I decompiled the DL30 browser apk earlier this morning... And find that the code to force bing was much easier to find than earlier versions. Looks like you took out the default bookmarks, and changed the search string? Anything else out of my curiosity.
The code also wouldn't allow deleting two existing Verizon bookmarks.
If the bookmark was named "VZW Home" or "My Verizon" or the URL was "http://converge.vzwwap.com/" or "https://mobile.vzw.com/sspostmw/forms/myacc.jsp" it wouldn't allow deletion.

...Now with Chrome Icon
This is the same de-binged browser with the Chrome Icon
Thanks for the post.
Hmmm... Can't seem to get it to work. Copied the original to sdcard for backup then using root explorer deleted original and copied debinged to system/app and rebooted and cleaned dalvik but still uses bing and can't delete bookmarks.

Try clearing the application data. settings -> applications -> manage applications.
This will also clear any bookmarks/history you have.

No dice...
Ok so I can't get it to work at all. Followed OP to a tee and the original Browser.apk says it is deleted in root explorer but when I copy the debinged named as Browser.apk it reverts back to the original no matter what... Stumped on this one...

Thanks for this. But I always find it easier to push files or make a cwm zip (root explorer is not the most reliable). But flash the below file via cwm no wipe is needed plus your existing bookmarks will remain and I was able to delete those vzw links right away. It sucked to have a scrollable widget and seeing the vzw **** there.
@OP update your first post/title with this.
good day.
Thanks Chopper the CWM flash worked perfectly. Url search goes straight to Google and bookmarks deleted. One issue I did notice was even with Google set as homepage and all data history etc cleared when reopening the browser it opens to Google but if you hit the back key it goes to that converge.vzw site even with history and data cleared and bookmark deleted any idea?

What is the exact full URL you see ?
-Doug
@doug it was the vzw homepage but I was able to just randomly eliminating it by clearing data and cache a fourth time. Didn't do anything different or additional and it works perfect now... go figure

Works great. Thanks to dhoard and chopper!

Stock browser downloading problem

It won't download files from filehosting services, but insted html file. Opera doesn't have this issue. Any idea how to fix it?
I'm having this problem too
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA Premium App
Ummm I have the stock browser with Astro installed and in the settings for astro it has an option to allow you to download all file types did you try that?
What filehosting service are you using?
Filesonic, Fileserve, Wupload... You name it.
And what has Astro to do with web browser?
EDIT: Didn't help.
Have you tried another Browser? It would help to know if it's a Browser specific issue after all.
Opera can download those files just fine. Dolphin obviously can't, since it's using stock kernel.

Browser downloads fail

If I try to download files to my browser through pretty much any share site, I either get download failed or a 1kb htm file. I know the solution to this is to install opera browser. Problem is, I like the stock browser especially now that its all synced up with my Google account. I have tried astro file manager (option to allow browser downloads and that didn't work either.
If the astro file manager thing didn't work maybe try Download All Files from the Play Store. And if that doesn't you could try a modded browser such as ICS Browser+, also in the Play Store.

more info required as which ROM are you on... GB/ICS...
although i dont think it makes a difference...
If on ICS stock brower... go to menu ...settings..advanced... default storage...
see if its selected to phone...(memory card only if you have one slotted in the phone)
i just checked a download from www.filehippo.com
works for me...
i dont think you need to use any other browser or app to download stuff...

"Downloads" app showing no downloads in it!

Hi,
I have downloaded dozen of stuff using dolphin hd but the "Downloads" app is showing no content! Its totally empty!
But if i navigate to the "/sdcard/download/" folder via my files app i can see all the downloads!! as this is what is set in the dolphin browsers settings.
Is this download app not linked with the folder mentioned above?
what folder do i have to set in dolphin browser to see my downloads when i tap the downloads app?
Specs:
Galaxy S2
CheckRom RevoHD v6
Dolphin HD Browser
Download app has this white arrow in green background icon
Thanks
no suggestion
If you have cleared download history then you can't see your download stuff in the list again unless you have a titanium backup or dolphin browser and you had backed it up at the time you had download list
Hi,
No, i didn't clear any history.
I flashed checkrom. installed dolphin hd. downloaded stuff and then realized that the download app is not showing anything! No history no nothing cleared.
Eventhough all what i download is being properly saved to "/sdcard/download/". I even get the "Download Complete" message in the notification bar but the app still remains empty
I always have to navigate there using "My Files" to open the downloaded stuff whenever i need it.

Try clear data of dolphin browser or install "Download all files" from market
Hi.
I'm new to these forums and to Android phones.
I'm having the same problem as Thindboy in my Samsung Galaxy Note i717.
My Note hasn't been rooted and I also have Dolphin Browser HD. I think that this problem also happened with the built in Android browser but I can't remember. Dolphin Browser download folder is set as: /mnt/sdcard/download
I followed sahibunlimited suggestions but even with the "Download All Files" app the files are still saved in the previously mentioned directory.
Does anyone know the address of the directory that the "Download" app in Android uses?
If it is the same one that I mentioned, does anyone know what might be going on
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Flash zip file, clean cache and dalvik cache, reboot system but only the browser icon changes to the AOSP one while when launching the browser it still opens the sense browser...

Please help me... I tried moving the browser apk to system/app but it still doesn't do anything ..
