I really don't want to lose Google Chrome just for that, is there an alternative for Chrome to Phone but for chrome?

Read it Later is an excellent app that also has Chrome extensions.

If you go into Tools>Extensions and click Options under Chrome to Phone, what happens?

You can try Springpad. They have a Chrome extension (that you can use to cut and save web pages and make notes right from the omnibar/extension bar and an app (web app) for Chrome. They also have an android app. I use the extension to cut and save web pages and images and send them to my phone (or if I need to, I edit said page or image first in the web app....)

Just downloaded it for Windows. It is very nice. I disabled the Turbo feature though. It makes my internet crawl. It should only be use with dial-up. It may be better for internet sharing though.

I get the same results on my cable connection.. I still love Google Chrome to much to change lol. I just work around the current bugs.
If you have fast dsl or cable Turbo is snail mode. But maybe its because they have overwhelming amount of traffic right now? - i.e skyfire did that too
Chrome is good but too young and unmateure, perhaps in a couple of years can compete with the top browsers
Anyway this thread is to let all know about opera 10 beta launching...
Opera is my main browser since a long time and I don´t pretend to change it for any other!
been using opera since it had adds in the upper right corner
and can't get used to other browsers
but think I'll wait for the final to replace all my other opera installs
Good news bro...might take it for a spin
I <3 opera
looks like fun, this "10"
gonna give it a spin ^_^
Hi orb3000...
I surely download it because just want to try Opera....
Until i have used only IE, Firefox and Google Chrome...

youtube.com isn't working

A few days ago i updated my SGS to Android 2.2. Of course i looked forward to the new flash player and all the functions.
As i saw in some video reviews, i wanted to go to youtube.com, the desktopversion just as on computers. But i always get linked to m.youtube.com, the mobile version. And the videos won't open in the browser, they open in the regular youtube app.
I tried the preinstalled browser, opera and skyfire, none of them worked.
Strangely Kino.to works just fine. I'm able to watch Vids from Megavideo (didn't try other providers).
Does anybody know how to fix the yt problem?
Open the stock browser and see if you can see this option:
MORE>settings>UA STRING
If yes, choose desktop and restart browser and go key in the URL you want to view. It should show you the desktop version of that site
After looking for the uastring settings on the net, i found out that on froyo you have to type "about:useragent" into the adress bar. Then a popup opens and let you choose between various options. Choose Desktop and it works
Thanks you
Either you use that method or install a browser with UA options like what I have. See screenshot.

Which browser is it?
Dolphin and xScope are able to change the User Agent.
So is Skyfire if I remember right.
This is a modified stock browser. I am using doc's v9 btw.

[APP] Car Home APKs

Was looking for a Car Home app and stumbled upon this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1081009

If your like me, and like old school droid programs but cant get them to install on new age devices here is one. This is the Car Home apk for anyone that would like to use it. Install as you would any apk. If you run into any problems side load it from something like dropbox or push via ADB. Once you install both the launcher and the car home apk then boot into clockwork recovery and fix permissions, reboot and you should be good.
If you use and like hit the thanks button!

Is this Car Home by Google? Looks the same; however I noticed the Market Version says my device is not supported.
^^^^ I'd like to know this too. Been using Samsung's app which is a little weak. Will give this a try

Interesting. It works, but has some quirks. The music button only seems to work with the google music app. When I try to add other apps to a screen, it only allows me to select launcher apps...

The Icon From Hell

This icon keeps popping up constantly and randomly. When I tap it it takes me to Facebook Messenger and there's nothing new there. I did a full factory reset and it's still there. Any ideas why it pops up or how to kill it? I disabled badges but this still shows up in the app.

another reason to hate that intrusive, obnoxious, annoying app Facebook..
Facebook:
you get what you deserve.
just the name transpires shallowness.
Well, I dont like facebook and everything related, Bk took good care of that, but, it seems op uses it, so, if some facebook user knows how to help him, do it

Agreed. I hardly use FB these days and when I do , it's via Samsung browser. I do have FB messenger Lite installed however. Here's a kicker, if I press that messenger icon it opens the Play Store for me to load and install the full flavor version of FB messenger.

My N8 is rooted and used Titanium to get ride of FB and a few other annoying apps. Generally use web to access sites in lieu of an app.
For anyone searching: I uninstalled Facebook Messenger, cleared that problem notification, and then reinstalled Messenger.
Good for you, I really liked the title of the thread

[Q]Amazon emails always open in Chrome

I always have the pop up asking me which browser I'd like to open a URL with in Samsung stock email app. It works all the time and I primarily pick Samsung internet when prompted.
However, for emails that I receive from Amazon if I chose Samsung internet as depicted below they still open in Chrome.
Any ideas why ? Thanks.View attachment 4634250

Funny how when asking a question it triggers ones brains to actually look into the matter more. LoL. I think I figured it out in case someone else wanted to know..
It was the below settings defaults menu that I changed to remedy my issue. It was originally set to "in this app" and I changed it to the below "always ask". Now I get prompted again to pick which browser or app to use to open URL with.

I disabled Chrome browser myself. I like the ad blocking and Samsung Pass features available in the Samsung browser.
Glad you figured it out!!
