Did any of the S6 variants come with the Samsung stock browser? - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm on the Verizon S6 Edge version, and we got Chrome as our stock browser, and I hate it! Just wondering if any of the other variants came with the other browser?

So I'm guessing you can use thumbprint to unlock other features, just not the phone itself?

I know you can sign into your PayPal using your thumbprint, as well as logging into certain websites. The website login can only be done using the stock Samsung browser.

Hmm, I just enabled it in the settings and I tried to figure out how to log in to paypal with my thumb print but no luck. Is their any other steps I need to take to get it working.

Ok I got it working, doesn't seem to work with paypal though.

How did you get it working? Is there a stock alternative to last pass without having the stock browser?

The main thing is finding websites that it works with. My jobs website that let's us check our current hours and put in vacation time works with it. Actually just about all the sites I use work with it, once you put the password in the first time you will get a popup asking if you want to use your fingerprint.

Browser sucks

Hello
Everytime I start the browser it uses mobile mode, i have tried using about:useragent each time but it seems to revert back to default, any solution. I hope i am not the first one again.

It is a bit unfair to blame the browser when it is the websites themselves that are formatting the pages for a mobile phone. With the user agant you are lying and telling the website you are a desktop PC.
Have you tried installing the free Dolphin HD Browser? That is what I use when I need to see the desktop page.

Good idea .

I heard that this has been fixed in 2.3.6, but, my carrier doesnt have the update for it, what should I do?
In the 2.3.3 version, the settings had an option which would allow you to change the view mode, however, 2.3.5 DOES not have anything ;(

Free version of Telenav GPS navigation

After seeing people ask for a decent voice guided navigation app, I pulled the Telenav APK from my backups to share. It was posted waaay back in the early Captivate days. It's a free and legit version for basic functionality, which is plenty for navigation. It works the same as the AT&T Navigator app included in the stock phone from AT&T, but this one doesn't want to charge you $10 just for trying out the free stuff. You can upgrade to additional features for $10/month through Telenav, but there really is no need. It works just fine in basic mode.
Enjoy - slap the thanks button if this helps
Thanks for the app. I'm going to give it a try tomorrow....
google
Is it better than google navigator?
Depends on what u consider better. Better graphics and voice. Same performance. Heavier use of battery though.

I use WAZE, and seem to be ranked as 195 in the state. BUT, I tired the navigation, it works ok, but too many loops.
I would be going down a street and all for no reason it says go in this subdivision and loop around and come back out. - of course I was smart enough to see that trick.
Still goona use WAZE because of the other users posting where the cops are hiding.

Thanks for this! I had a question. Has anybody tried to 'trick' Market so we are able to download this:
https://market.android.com/details?...sImNvbS50ZWxlbmF2LmFwcC5hbmRyb2lkLnNwcmludCJd
This is V7.1.1 (different from the one they call TeleNav GPS Navigator for TMO) and is available to Sprint users. This version has some 'nice' Widgets (equivalent to that of AT&T Telenav) that V6.2.6201121 doesn't have.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMiCL6hV85Q
I am wondering if this will still work on the AT&T network...and, we wouldn't have to pay a ridiculous monthly fee?
Any thoughts?

Sure, the funny thing is I didn't have to edit anything, the link for 7.1 stated previously directed me to it in the market and allowed me to install.

That's weird, are you rooted? I haven't rooted my note yet. Try erasing your data that was created within the app, by going to applications, manage apps and click on telenav as if you were going to uninstall and click clear data and try opening again.

I am getting the same behavior as btothec as well. I am wondering how you were able to download in the first place godfirst? Normally, we (AT&T users) can't see this app in the AppStore as it is blocked...I found it via the Market.Android.Com site.
And, if you haven't rooted yet, you must have both AT&T Navigator AND Telenav installed at the same time (ex. AT&T Navigator exists on system/app folder)? Are you sure you aren't subscribed to the service (now)?

No Im not subscribed. I cannot find the app due to it being blocked but because of the link to it that was posted earlier I was able to download. Now the number I have from att was ported over from when I had sprint, and my data is still stored with my number from when I had the free service with sprint. I even have the ability to look at my recent destinations which was taken when I was with sprint last summer.

You actually can still unlock your bootloader and root using this, it just won't flash the custom recovery for you. You have to do that yourself with fastboot.

It will work. It's how I rooted my phone.
It still works because it unlocks the bootloader via HTC DEV. From there you can fastboot a custom recovery, and from there you can flash anything you want.

It's been a while since I've logged on. The OTA has been available since the day after AT&T also A LOT of the s8 apps work like bixby samsung pass secure folder etc. I don't even want the s8+ no more just gonna get like 3 cases and a glass screen protector. How do u guys like android 7.0 on the s6. I'm also sad to say AOD will NEVER work on this phone uprooted butttttt our version is the edge clock and mine has been more efficient since the update keeping it on from 12pm to 12am is really the only time to take a quince glance. Whewww that was a mouth full hope everyone has a good day :good::laugh:

There is an update for 10.0.27 just saw and installed this morning! Go to system updates and check yours.
Here is a screenshot.
slightly puzzled, update downloaded/installed by itself overnight. good to know being unlocked doesn't affect updates.
Have you modded at all?
no
Unless you unlock the bootloader there won't be issues. I've unlocked Sim but not rooted so I get updates too. I don't see a need currently since there's no alternative ROM

Does not really matter to me to have Titanium any longer because the likelihood of phone complete malfunction is very low. And I use duckduckgo browser to block most ads. Most apps now are smart enough to fail if they detect adaway modified host file so on. I actually am glad I do not have to try and trick my phone so that Google Pay and other things work when they fail if rooted. I also am worried if I touch anything, the 5G will stop working. I really want to be able to get that signal.

Yeah - I got this phone to get band 71 as well, as my European S9+ doesn't either, so TMo coverage outside of large urban areas sucks on that phone.

Unless you unlock the bootloader there won't be issues. I've unlocked Sim but not rooted so I get updates too. I don't see a need currently since there's no alternative ROM

I thought when you unlocked, it wiped, including a system file needed for updates. If that's not the case, would un-rooting allow updates ?

It's in the forum 7t pro original and I think there's just that one ROM. I'm happy with my phone and don't want to root it.
