Viruses! - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hi guys,
I wondering if it is possible to get a virus just from browsing with chrome or any other internet browser. I sometimes click on facebook/twitter links and they bring me to websites with random popups and advertisements.

Not usually if you are afraid you could always download Lookout Security from the play store. Its free and will scan your device for anything like malware and viruses.

Can't open links in native Youtube app

When I click on video links on facebook, it shows me a list of browsers to choose app which will open video. there is no Youtube app in the list.
I tried clear defaults / delete data for both apps: Facebook and Youtube but without any results.
The problem is, that the link is redirected over Facebook. So the App does not recognize it as a YouTube-link.

I have the same problem, YouTube app was an option on my G2 and on my tablet when I clicked YouTube links

There should be some trick to resolve this idiotic problem.

I really wish facebook would give us an option to disable this crap. I don't need this. Really really annoying. That's what's going on. Android will open up youtube videos with the domain youtube.com but facebook makes it m.facebook.com/something or another and youtube doesn't know that domain.

Application for uninterrupted download

Hi,
I am looking for a utility that keeps my download active in the background even if the call/sms come... Though I tried download manager but they don't work on downloading from hotfile sites..
Basically I am looking for an apk that keeps the data connection active even during call.
Thanks.

In my experience the best downloading machine is the Opera Mobile Browser itself.
However if you are looking for a stand alone downloader I recommend ADM or Advanced Download Manager.

I myself prefer opera but the problem is as soon as someone called me the download interrupted. . So I am looking for a software that keeps the data stream active in background. .

How about dolphin browser?

The stock browser does that quite well, despite the general slow speed in browsing for downloads it is effective

The best one is Adownloader, just in my opinion. For resumable downloads and torrents.
Is that even possible I thought any data was paused while in call

Market app for outside USA

Like the topic says, any suggest for a market app that provides full access to and android market worldwide. For example no paid and some free apps don't show up in the play store.. Any really good tried party market app?
Sent from my MB860 using xda app-developers app
The Market has its limitations for a reason (mostly legal reasons) and making an alternative market app that circumvents that is just as illegal as it's impossible (with Google having complete control over the "other end", ie. the Market itself, and who can connect to it and how).
That said, you should try using MarketAccess.
Thanks for the reply and I did have a feeling it was legal related but then again I can't understand how on my gf iPhone she can find and install for example Whatsapp, so can her brother on his blackberry but om my android I can't find it on the market. Isn't these restrictions suppose to be in forced on all platforms or is it just Google Android?

It has nothing to do with a specific platform. Simplified, it has to do with Google (not) being able to work out the complete terms of use in some countries.

Android General Question

Hi, I'd like if someone can explain to me why android apps never open Web links within the app instead of always redirecting you to the browser like iOS and I never noticed this before but I'm currently using an iPhone along side my Galaxy S3 since I'm in the Caribbean and I just think the iOS way makes more sense especially for apps like cracked and Facebook.... Thoughts?

Because the android apps in question do not have a web browser within them, at least not in the sense of a traditional browser. I can't attest to how iOS works as I have too many qualms with apple to use their products, but I would assume many of their apps also launch a browser for web content, and if they don't its due to integration of a browser within the app.

Hey sorry I'm just noticing the reply and all I'm looking for is a discussion of some sort but a bit of an update I just used the CNN app on my Galaxy and it as in opened links pertaining to the app within itself such as unlocking the live TV and I just think more android apps should do it and also you might be familiar with flip board and how not handles links that's what I mean

mxTube

Looking for something like mxTube for iPhone.
Thought it would be for android too but didn't see anything on play store.
Data sucks half the time at work so thought might be a good idea to download the youtube stuff beforehand.
Any ideas??
Thanks.
Google search for tubemate. Is a third party app, so not available in play store
