Has anyone managed to get this to work with Safari? It's a mild annoyance that when I want to use Kies Air I have to use Firefox instead of my go-to browser (Safari). Does anyone know if there is a simple setting/url change that I can use that will enable Safari to work with it? I'm running on OS X if that makes any difference.
Thanks.
I use Safari. Seems fine to me. What problem are you having?
Safari can’t connect to the server.
Safari can’t open the page “http://1**.1**.1.6*:****/” because Safari can’t connect to the server “1**.1**.1.6*”.
(no idea if I need to censor that out, thought it would be safer).
Can you try without putting http://? I never entered that, just the number.

No need to censor those are local ips no risks.
It automatically adds the http:// to it after I press enter.
Weird. Is the number you entered is the same on your phone? Well, if you still unable to open I guess you've to use Firefox. Might have to wait some pro to solve it. haha
Yeah, double checked. It's weird that it works on FF. Maybe there's some setting enabled on Safari that's stopping it from working?
If you click on Safari > About Safari, what version are you using? Also, if you go to preferences > Advanced > Proxies > Change settings, do you have any of the options checked? Those are the only things I can think of that might make a difference.
Mine is 5.05.. Only Auto proxy check. Hmm...
all same here. I'm fresh out of ideas!
when you enter the url into your browser, and get the "cant connect" error, try restarting the phone. happened ot me as well and fixed it. same happened with my SG1, used an app called wifi explorer which was also to explore phone files wirelessly and had to just restart my phone after using app for the first time too.
Kies Air - Fix
I had this same problem, watched Kies connect once, but never connected again, kept stalling. Tried Mozilla, Chrome and Explorer, all with the same result. Then I noticed lots of Java icons stacked up in the taskbar, and under closer inspection, lots of instances of java started in the task manager.
Turns out the problem is the Java cache on your PC, it doesn't clear after you drop the connection, and prevents further re-connection attempts. Uninstall the Java on your PC and it all works fine. Not sure what you need to do if Java is essential to you.
Turns out the problem is specific to Java 6.24 and if you roll back to 6.23 it will be working again
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).
Hi
I have a big problem with slightly lesser known web browsers on Kitkat. If I set browsers to automatically clear data (history, cookies etc.) at exit they can't actually clear it. No error message or anything displays but they just can't do it.
I've tested this on both 4.4.2 & the recent 4.4.4 but the issue is present. So, please help me.
Steps to reproduce --
1. Use browsers such as Next Browser, Lightning, Naked, Lucid etc. and set them to clear all data on exit.
2. Surf some site where you can see your history without logging in (e.g. in Google homepage if you search for something & then go again at the search box your recent searches will be there).
3. Exit browser normally i.e. not by swiping out from recent apps.
4. Now, when you again go to the sites you visited on step 2 you will notice your history with them is kept. This data shouldn't be kept if the browsers clear all data on exit was actually working, right?

i think this is just the odd way android works (at its weirdest)
when you hit the back button and there is no more fallback processes to go to, like any app it would just minimize. its not neccisarily a bug but just weird design within android..
data should be wiped when asked to close (aka via recents or anything else like such, or even using a exit option within the browser)
I think its maybe a KK bug because in ICS and Jellybean this works. Why would developers give such an option in their products if this feature doesn't actually work? This issue is present in my friend's non-sony kitkat phone too. Google changed so much in KK, you know! No flash support, no text wrap etc.
Also, in stock Firefox v33 or later this clearing data at exit works 99% of time. Chrome too won't remember data if incognito mode is selected. So, what's going on? Is there no way to solve this problem cause I really wanted to use those browsers especially Lucid browser. Firefox, Chrome are so bloated!!
@XAoler you seem slightly confused, the browsers are set to clear data when the app is closed, you aren't closing the app, as @Envious_Data says your just opening a new window. If you want the data clearing you must manually kill the app.

No, no I am closing the apps from the exit option available in their menus. If the menu option is exit and I select that the apps should close, no? Also, I actually used force stop option as well from system settings. The data will stay even when doing this.
I don't think @Envious_Data said that I am opening a new window. He said its the way android works.
i did mention its the way android works
you have to kill the app for it to be concidered closed. pressing the back button doesnt always work even on aosp, cm11 or anything alike
Uh....none of you seem to really read my post. I am not exiting them using the back button. I exit the apps using the exit button from their menu. So, tell me is it not the correct way to close them???
Also, I used force stop option in android system settings\apps. Data will stay even when using this method. What do you mean by manually killing the app!! How else do you manually kill the apps?
Sorry, if you are killing the app using the exit function provided then yes the app should be clearing data if set to do that, to me it sounds like an app issue rather than the OS. Is the browser still present in recent apps after exiting this way? (should be without a preview) If so that suggests it's incorrectly closing down.
Actually I used 4 different browsers and all of them have this problem. So, clearly this is a OS problem. But I have now switched back to firefox. Mods can close this thread. This was of no use.
Just got the mate 10 pro and Everytime I open a new instance of either Facebook or messenger app the app just closes I tried uninstalling both of them then reinstalling without any luck. Anyone else is facing this issue ?
Ido not know how to solve your issue, but I have a similar issue (I think), so I thought I could try and help pinning it down by describing it here as it is differently triggered: I cannot use google translate's "tap to translate" feature, i.e., automatically opening google translate right after copying some text to clipboard. It actually starts loading, then closes back to the app I was on. But after that, trying to open the google translate app itself, it works. So, it also sounds like "app does not open on first try" maybe? And the reason I posted this is because I do not manually try to open the app the first time, but it should be automatically opened bythe system. So maybe it does not matter how you try to open the apps first time, either manually or called by the system? Idk. Just trying to help pin the source of the problem down.

You think it could have something to do with the optimization of EMUI 8?
Hi everyone!
I recently updated my Sony Xperia X Compact to the latest (I think last official) android firmware, which is the following: F5321_Customized CE1_1304-8434_34.4.A.2.118_R2E
Today I wanted to sign in a particular app, which would forward me to the official website for me to log in, but the app instead opens a small windows, which contains the login possibility, but once filled out and sent the reques it says I need Javascript to do that.
Now doing this in a browser would not be a problem, but I couldn't find the option to turn this feature off.
So what did I miss?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Kind regards,
Steve
Sounds like the app is sending you to webview, not a browser. That is built in.
If goggle chrome is the default webview, then turning on JavaScript in chrome may fix the problem. If the default webview is the android system one, then there are no settings. Apps can control the use of JavaScript programmatically.
The setting to switch the webview is in developer options.

Thanks, now I am one step ahead, because at least I know what the hell this is.
But Chrome is the default browser, Javascript is enabled and I still can't get the app to work, while it says Javascript is not enabled.
Can I actually disable webview?
AFAIK, you can not just disable webview without creating trouble. as I said, you can switch which app is used for webview in developer options.
There should be a 3-dot menu when a link opens in webview and an entry to open in browser.

The 3-dot menu is not there.
On my previous version of Android I was asked what to do, or in some apps I could change the option from the start, I mean to open the links in an external browser, and not in the app itself.
Now I don't have the option.
And even I chenged the setting in Gmail, when I try to open a link inside a mail, it does it in the app, and not in Chrome.
Why is that?
I think you said took updated to the last stock release which I think is Android 8.0 (Oreo). As the major versions released, there were API changes. Webview started becoming a significant part of app development. I don't have any devices on Oreo and I don't remember what was an wasn't possible.

I appreceiate your help, and I don't want to drag this for too long.
My sister has the same model of phone.
She updated on OTA, I did it with Flash tool, but the same version number of firmwares are on both of the phones.
Now I know that the numbers are not all, since regions have a bit of different ROM's, for instance Central Europe and Asia or any other are a bit different.
My sister's phone works fine as before, apps open link in a Chrome powered window/app, and the 3-dot menu is there to do more, and to open in in the full Chrome app if you wish.
The same option is missing from my Android.
Now I try to go back to full stock Android and start from the beginning, but this is something I can newer understand, same version, completely different functions...

Try to find first which app is selected for WebView implementation, you will find it under developer options, in the case you have, for example, two apps like Chrome (not selected or greyed out) and Android System WebView (actually selected), then go to the settings of this last app and disable it, now you will have only Chrome working for this function. And in the case you don´t have installed Chrome then install it before to disable Android System webView.

First it was Chrome, Android System WebView was greyed out.
Than I disabled Chrome, ASWV was enabled, but the problem was the same, I wanted to open a link from an app, the small window appears, and it is useless, since I couldn't even advance from that page, since it didn't function properly.
Now what I really don't understand is why my sister had non of these problems with the latest Firmware.

Probably you should try by starting from the beginning to see if it solves:
- Deleting both apps using adb uninstalling commands.
- Then go to recovery and wipe cache (if you don´t take care about formatting data)
- Then Installing just Chrome or I should install instead of Chrome just a very little sized app like this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=info.android1.webview that uses a Google based preview with many features to go from.
- And also can help make Chrome as default browser if you want that links open ever on it.

Could this possibly help? It may be as simple as disabling the ability to draw over other apps.
