My vs985 is on CM12 (12-20150221). I first noticed this morning that in the dolphin browser, I cannot click on links to browse to pages. If I do, nothing happens. However I can long click on links to open a menu showing "open in new tab, open in background etc.". I can also click and type in the address bar, but for example when I pull open the dolphin menu, I cannot select anything in the menu! I thought it was just dolphin but weird clicking behavior seems to be happening in other apps. For example in the Amazon app, I can search but cannot click on any products to see details. Firefox seems to work more (I can click on links). This was working fine over the weekend so I am confused. Youtube, Gmail seem to work fine. Could it be some kind of bug that only effects certain types of web displays like that might be behind the scenes in Amazon app and Dolphin? I've searched around but cannot find anything similar reported. I will continue to test....
UPDATE: I thought I had rebooted, but had not, anyway this seems to have fixed.... weird....

Odd bug this: On stock T-Mobile G2, when I do a google search (using preset google mobile bookmark) I cannot access the second page of results. I also cannot do a new search by entering new text in the search box at either the top or the bottom- I have to go back to the main search page in the bookmarks I have tried this using both the 'next' and several of the numbered page links at the bottom of the page, on wi-fi and 3g, killed the browser with taskiller and restarted, restarted the phone, searched several different terms- all the same. Works fine when switched from 'mobile' to 'classic'.
i had that for a while, but for whatever reason i did a hard reset ( i have downloaded tons of apps and not all of them are compatible with the hero) and since then i have not had it again.
I guess it was one of the apps i had that did it, or just a glitch, but after the reset all is well.

the problem seems to be with google.co.uk, it works fine on google.com
Yeah sometimes I can't even get to the first page of results on google.co.uk. It seems that sometimes, randomly, all of the links just plain stop working. Sometimes I can't press any of the links (images, web, local, page numbers or the search button), sometimes they work.
:/
When I click on a YouTube link, it will normally ask me to open in the browser or youtube, but lately the youtube option has not shown up. I've un/reinstalled a few times, but that did not fix the issue.
Does anyone have any solutions/advice?
Try going to the Internet app in the applications list, then scroll down and press on "Clear Default"

It can't be that, because when clicking a link it still gives me options on how to open the link (Browser and TubeMate (a youtube downloader)).
So I think my system just isn't recognizing that I have youtube installed or something. Thanks for the suggestion though.
Depending on the internet browser you use, it could just be dumb and doesnt have an option.
Recently updated to Ineffabilis Deus and have some annoying bugs with the different reddit apps I've tried. Not sure if this is an ICS problem or an Ineffabilis problem.
50% of imgur links display for a split second and then go to blank screen. If I zoom in, the picture comes back.
All youtube links open in Chrome rather than the youtube app. I tried clearing defaults for Chrome. I also tried the "App associations" menu in settings, but I don't see the youtube app as an option for anything in there. I also used to have (on Gingerbread) an option to send youtube links to xbmc, via xbmc remote app, but that's gone too.
Anyone know if this is an ICS thing or an issue with the ROM? I don't think it's a problem with the apps, since the same thing happens on both reddit apps I've tried and I don't see anyone complaining about it in the comments for those apps.
Any other redditors on ICS had problems (or solutions)?
On ICS with exact same ROM and issues using baconreader here.
Will troubleshoot.
Mine shows some, while others do as you explained. I am stock rooted 3.14.

Youtube links won't play in YouTube on Ics or sense 3.6 I don't know which controls what. Something to do with an Apple patent lawsuit if I'm not mistaken
To allow yourself to be able to select apps to launch instead of launching chrome or the default browser automatically, you must uninstall "htclinkifydispatcher" using titanium backup or something similar. This stops the phone from automatically choosing default apps and will let you choose from whatever browsers you have installed (or youtube, if you are trying to watch a video) instead. So far the only issue I've found with eliminating this app is that whenever I try to launch a link sent to me in gtalk, gtalk force closes. Otherwise I am given the freedom of choice of which app to launch when browsing reddit. If you don't care too much about a partially malfunctioning google talk, uninstall htclinkifydispatcher. Back it up first (just in case other apps start malfunctioning, for me only google talk is affected, but it may vary for others) and then uninstall. Freezing it will not work.
Hope this helps

Issue with all direct link static images in baconreader. Animated GIFs or where it renders the website too are fine. Also only has an issue on first load, have to zoom or back out and reselect link to make image reappear. Once cached, the image renders fine on a re-read.
Yet to find any combo of Developer options, Display, or stock browser settings (assuming baconreader may render links with stock browser settings) to address that particular problem...
Edit: Recommend deselecting "Open links in app" in baconreader and in other apps if available, if that issue cannot be resolved. Feedback from other ROM users appreciated. May ask the developer about bug.
Edit 2: Stock browser settings have no influence on the issue, app renders direct link images independently.

Yeah I use google talk a lot but not nearly as often as I browse reddit. It's so frustrating trying to watch a YouTube video in chrome instead of the designated app. I think this problem (feature?) alone makes me want aosp more than anything else about sense on ics. Give me freedom to choose my apps!
I found this problem with baconreader and reddit is golden. It's annoying but but I just double tap the imgur and it shows (zooming).
Does anybody know why I can't get all webpages to give me a preview in the Chrome bookmarks widget?
I even have to bookmarks on the same website, just a link to 2 different forums...one shows up, one doesn't. Cant get the mobile or desktop version of espn to show up. Almost none of my desktop bookmarks showed up so i made some mobile ones and only about half show up. I've rebooted my launcher restarted chrome, restarted the phone etc etc.
Haven't found another widget where all thumbnails show up either, at least htat will work on ics/chrome. If anyone has any suggestions on other widgets too, lmk.
GS3 running Apex launcher if that matters.
i finally got apw's widget to work with about 90% of the links, i had to visit all the links in my stock browser and do the update thumbnails thing...i wish I could figure out the chrome thing though..
Anyone ever make any progress with this? It's very annoying. Also, the apw widget has to be refreshed somewhat regularly for me because it empties out, which is also annoying.
I cant believe its still not fixed. Unbelievable!

On JB 4.2 still no fix...
Un-fcuking believable! This is a major neglect, it's 1 of the 2 only widgets that you can actually interact with, and I can safely say that it is the most useful widget of all, at least to me. The key point and reason of its purpose of existence is completely absent. I'm going to keep my eye on this thread.
Can't get Chrome thumbnails on my SGS2 running JellyBam or my stock Nexus 10. I want it to be pretty with thumbnails. :/
just downloaded the latest update to chrome and still no god damn thumbnails...wtf are they thinking over there at google??? fix this **** it's about time i think

With Google spending more and more time on fit and finish, I don't understand how this hasn't been rectified yet. It's unbelievable.
Maybe it will be fixed on the note 3

Clearing the browsing history has solved this problem for me.
1) Open a new tab in your Chrome app and press the menu button on your Android device to access History.
2) Select 'Clear Browsing Data' at the bottom of your screen.
3) Only select 'Clear browsing history' and press Clear. You do not need to clear your cache, cookies, saved passwords, or autofill data.
4) Exit out of Chrome and also kill Chrome's application process. On most Android devices, you can do this by long pressing the home button to bring up a list of active apps or task manager.
5) All bookmark thumbnails on your widget should now be clear. If not, then enter and exit a bookmark folder on your widget. If you do not have folders, then open and close Chrome. Basically you need to refresh the screen. If your old thumbnails have not cleared, repeat step 4.
6) Now rebuild your bookmark thumbnails by visting each bookmark from INSIDE Chrome. Visiting bookmarks directly from the widget will NOT work. Open a new tab and press the menu button on your Android device to access Bookmarks. Visit a bookmark and allow the page to load completely. Press the menu Button again to access Bookmarks and repeat as needed.
About 22 to 24 thumbnails will be created assuming after you cleared the History, you only visited your bookmarked pages. After a certain thumbnail cache limit is reached within Chrome, it will stop generating thumbnails for your widget.
Through many tests I've come to determine that Chrome is creating thumbnails of pages in your History regardless of the page being a bookmark. So if you visit 20 non-bookmarked websites, and then 10 bookmarks, only the first few bookmarks' thumbnails will be created on the widget. However if you revisit one of the non-bookmarked website and bookmark it, then you will see it on the widget with a thumbnail.
I hope this works for other people and that my explanation was helpful.
THANKS A LOT IT WORKS
You're a genius
I set my mother up with android by getting her a phone and two tablets. She only knows how to use the bookmark widget (full size of home screen, single page). Hopefully the chrome devs can fix their shiet within another year or two
The system built in web browser... i don't know what it's called but it's whats used when various logins are needed ... it's causing me nothing but grief. Even if I set another web browser to default, this stupid built in thing opens for authentications and it doesnt work. Other devices I have do a similar thing but don't cause problems.
How do I delete this system browser and force it to open say Firefox for web-app authentications?
Why not simply deactivate it?

If i do that, nothing opens when an authenticating link is pressed. It just crashes to home screen. Also, I see there is a Android Web View Beta in the playstore, and I activated that. It doesn't seem to do anything different (I also deactivated the original one).
