Every time i change chrome to default browser it does not stick. If i click on a link in email, google+, or twitter i still get prompted to use chrome or internet.
I've searched and searched everyone says same thing but nothing works.
I've checked "always open with" chrome and does not work.
I've went under all apps and tried to clear default for internet but it is grayed out and i can not click it.
Under default applications it does not show browsers so i can't modify there.
I've downloaded an app called "default app manager" and it allows me to change the browser default but it does not "stick". as soon as i click a link i'm still prompted with an option for browser.
I'm having same issue. Did you ever find a solution?
this may help
I found this to be another app causing the issue, in my case National Express Coach app.
But i think you can find out if you have the same clash using "Default App Manager" lite from the store.
Open app, Under Browser Category it will probably say "no Default App.
Click Browser category, if there is another app listed here other than Internet and Chrome etc, try uninstalling that rogue, non browser app as a test. Worked for me..

Hi,
When installing the IMDB app I cannot set the browser to default when clicking on IMDB links - I just keep getting the prompt to select default action, which is extremely annoying when I want to browse the IMDB forums. I want to use the app as well, as I find it less painful to use than the browser when just searching for information.
Anyone with a solution, other than uninstalling the app?
When I get email about someone adding me on Google+, I would click the picture or the "view profile" button and it used to launch the Google+ app. Now, it brings up a browser with a link to the mobile site or to get the Google+ app.
Tried uninstalling the app, but it comes with ICS so I could only uninstall all updates and reinstall them, didn't help.
Any ideas?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda app-developers app
What if you just opened the app?
What is the time frame between "used to" and "Now"? Would this be from Gingerbread to ICS? If so, this sounds like a HTClinkifydispatcher.apk thing... see this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1696536
Not positive this is the issue, but whenever I hear of links opening the browser and not in the associated app, this always comes to mind.
It seems that I cannot change some default apps. Mainly ones that came with the phone. For example, the only way for me to make Chrome my default browser, is to disable the stock browser, click a link so that it uses chrome by default. Then go back an re-enable the stock browser. Other apps like email, I cant seem to change. When I click a email link, it automatically uses the stock email, not gmail. There doesnt seem to be a way to change this, since I cannot disable the stock email app.
Yes, I have gone in to apps and cleared defaults. Doesnt seem to do anything. Anyone have any suggestions?

Man do I feel dumb!! Thanks!
After one of the recent updates to the youtube app, I haven't been able to watch any videos. No matter what I do in the app, I always get the error "There was a problem with the network [500]" and the loading icon just spins forever. This happens on launch, when searching, and when being linked in from outside the app.
I've gotten this error before on older versions of the app, but it never prevented me from using the app. I have a feeling it has to do with my youtube account/email associated with my google account being suspended (happened years ago for uploading clips from a concert I went to, which is BS since youtube is full of them now).
Anyways, does anyone know what I can do to make the app work again? Is there a way to add an alternate youtube account? The "sign in" option does not allow me to specify an email.
I'm using a Nexus 7 on 4.2 and a Razr Maxx on 4.1.2 and Youtube app version 4.2.16
Figured out how to associate the app with a different account. Add another google account to your device, then clear data for the youtube app (or un/reinstall if it's not a system app). Launch the app and it will let you select which account to use.
Works perfectly

Thank you! works perfectly now!!
This is strange: Recently my Chrome app will crash 100% of the time I tap the search box to enter a query. The app itself will launch, I can change settings and make new tabs, but as soon as I try to type anything into search or URL bar the app instantly crashes.
The really weird part is, it ONLY does it if I use Google for the search provider. If I change to Bing, Yahoo, Ask, etc then no crashing!
Corrupt setting somewhere? I am running CM10.1 on an HTC Rezound and the problem has only been happening for a week or two. I reverted from Chrome 37 back to 36 and it still exhibits the same behavior. I wiped Chrome settings with Titanium with no luck. Is there a different underlying app in the system that handles taps to the search box that I can wipe settings and see if it helps?
Thanks!
