Duplicate Chrome tabs being launched from search results

If I do a search from the search bar on the homescreen, and then click on a link in the results, it always launches duplicate tabs in Chrome resulting in the same page being loaded twice simultaneously on 2 different tabs.
If I search from within Chrome in the address bar , its fine.
I can't seem to figure out why. Has anyone else experienced this issue or know of a solution ?

Noticed this as well. I rooted mine, so thought maybe that screwed it up.

I have the same issue and I haven't rooted or modded at all.

same issue here, thought it was just me

I was suffering from the same problem but member 'janedoesmith' has solved it! The solution is this:
When chrome opens up after clicking on a search result from the search bar, you need to click on the blank space surrounding the link to the website. If you click on the actual link, it'll create duplicate tabs.
Here's a link to my original question so that you can give 'janedoesmith' the appropriate thanks.

Yep, this problem annoys me as well.
I expect Google to release a patch soon.

Happening for me recently too.
Hopefully a patch will fix it.

Has anyone else noticed that you can no longer click the white space or descriptions on search results? The workaround no longer works and you can only click the title and tabs still open twice. Wtf Google?

It looks like Google has finally fixed this issue, although descriptions are still not clickable.

Nexus 4 has native emoji support

If this has been posted before my apologies. After getting my nexus I combed threw the settings and discovered that the keyboard has native emoji support. Now not only can you see emoji but you can send them now. To enable them go into your android keyboard settings then goto add on dictionaries. Enable emoji for English. Next go down to the advanced keyboard settings and enable switch to other input methods. Lastly go back to keyboard inputs and check the input iWnn IME. Once all these steps are down you will have a small globe icon on your native keyboard. Press this to switch to your new emojis! ?

Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

When you say keyboard inputs do you mean input languages? I can't seem to find the last step.
Nevermind, I found it, you have to go into settings->language&input I was doing everything before that from the keyboard.

Very nice of you sir
Thank you

I wish I could tell you, I'm also currently playing the waiting game with google .
I too would like to know if iOS 6 emojis work on 4.2 , if someone can tell us that would be great.

They show up just fine on my GNex.. so I would imagine do on the N4 as well.

This is great, thank you! I use to have to copy and past within the messaging app on my galaxy nexus when it had cm10

Total Android noob and bought the N4 last Sunday. Did a factory reset and seem to have lost the iWnn IME file on my phone and can't use the emoji feature.
Any help?
Thanks.

It's been reported that a factory reset gets rid of the Emojii iWnn IME app. I think it's available on the Play Store anyways? I'm not sure. If anybody can pull it from their phones and post it here - that'll be great.

Just flashed a custom 4.2.2 N7 rom and sure enough, it's there - interesting enough, it's showing up also on my HTC DI2 running GingerBread (custom rom written over a year ago,) no prompt or option to cancel/postpone or decline, just auto-updated (except that it did not have the Location & Search sub-menu like the N7)
Suffice to say - easily integrated without crashing or freezing, enhancement across the board for all Google devices ... I think. :highfive:

The icon looks very unattractive. Now my app drawer has 3 similar icons side by side that are blue (Google Search), green (Google Settings), and red (Google+)

Hhmm, I don't have it. Dirty AOKP. I'll reboot and see
..
OK, after reboot it's there.

Now my Galaxy Note 2 stock 4.1.2 rooted got this...

It came with recent update of Google Play

[BREAKING] New version android 4.3 founded

Hi friends.
When i have some free time,i browse browser's header on www.handsetdetection.com .
Today i have found this : Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 4.3; Nexus 4 Build/JWR23B) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/27.0.1453.60 Mobile Safari/537.36
So in my opinion ,google should release this version before the key lime pie.

I hope they add AVRCP 1.3 support in this version. Google has really been dicking the dog on this one.

If this is true then we won't be seeing Android 5.0/Key lime pie at the Google conference. Not a big deal to me, I am happy with Jellybean . I would prefer Google to fix those issues [sensitivity, battery etc...] with JellyBean rather than unveiling a new android.

[PORT]Rockchip has Split Screen support

Just seen this on the wire and thought how awesome it looks.
Rockchip is a chinese chip manufacture that powers devices like the popular MK808 and other handheld devices. Looks like they've been busy as today they announced they have a Split screen solution similar to Samsung that runs on Stock Android, except it can run any app.
Oh man does this look yummy.

How likely is it that we will get this on the Nexus 7?

Anyone correct me if I'm wrong, But Samsung implementation seems to only be custom apps that work in window form, but this seems to be a framework implementation?
Meaning this should work well with all Play Store apps as long as they followed the Android development guidelines and have a tablet UI. (fragments, panels etc)

Why is this thread has a PORT prefix in the title?

You are correct about how Samsung multi window works.
I don't know what the guidelines are for this multi window feature.

I wrote an article on this yesterday.
I can't wait to see how it properly functions on some of the well known devices.
@StrangerWeather its very likely the N7 will get it as its probably the most popular 7" tab on the market.

Because it would require a port from Rock chip devices to our N7.
This seems really cool because the Samsung required specific apps where here, he used anything, such as the stock settings app. So it should work with any app.
Plus I like how they all control and flip back and forth. Really nice.

Saw this on Android police and the implementation of gestures, Window resizing, management etc was nice and it's better than Samsung's Multi Window feature.
Wish this gets ported to custom ROMS soon.

Hopefully in the final release it uses the phablet layouts when in split screen. Ideally it would recalculate screen metrics based on the window size.

The rumor has it that Paranoid Android team is developing something like this. In fact CM team had tried to publish their version of multi window(project Cornersrone) but Google wouldn't let them. Multi window is totally possible to make for N7 and whatever modern android device. In near future!

Quite frankly, in the era of 1080p displays, there should be multi-window baked in to the OS. It's a feature that I think would really propel Android forward.
