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

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

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?

Tune In Radio is not listed in my app folder, but it does show up in Settings/Apps.
When I open up Google Play, it shows up as installed under My Apps. I was able to LAUNCH it from there, but other than that, there is no other way.
I got the bright idea to un-install it using Settings/Apps. Unfortunately, although it is now gone from Settings/Apps, Google Play still says it's INSTALLED! But the "Open" button is now gone, so now not only is it not installed, I can't even download it!!!
Any ideas on how to get it downloaded, and why it didn't show up in my app drawer in the first place?
If I'm thinkin right, tune-in will show up in the HTC music app....not as a stand alone app in the app drawer.

Well, I hosed that. It never occurred to me to look there. Since I uninstalled it, I can no longer reinstall it from the Play store. I tried to reinstall using Titanium Backup, but although the install reportedly went ok, it still does not show up!
I even tried to re download using HTC's download app, but all that does is redirect you to the Play store I'm not resetting the phone just to get it back either!

This morning I got the idea to go to HTC's support web site and see if I could email them about this. Under "Select your phone model", the EVO LTE isn't even listed!
They screwed up the launch of this phone, screwed up Google Wallet, and apparently don't even support the thing!
I ran into this as well... Hope it can help:

Thanks! I was able to download it from Amazon. I didn't think to try that because I got so frustrated.
I'm happy. Except for the Google wallet issue.
And the Sense slowdown issue.
And probably the next issue.

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'm on 4.1.2/shostock3 I find Google now to be slow and I prefer the older simple Google search. Is it possible for me to install it?

Just disable Google Now and there u have it
I doubt it. I think you'd almost have to go back to an ics Rom. Maybe do some Google play store searches there may be an app that resembles what you're looking for
Disabling Google now got the speed I wanted (since it didn't have to load the cards) but not the color/aesthetics of the ICS search, but its not a huge deal
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
Going into Google now is almost like having to go into a separate app. Hitting the voice search button brings up a small simple search box.
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.

If you like chrome, what's so good about it??

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.
