I just installed voice search from playstore. And it NEVER asked what browser I wanted the results to show in. It just went ahead and opens everything in opera. I want it to use maxthon. so far I have cleared defualts and data for, google search, voice search, opera and maxthon, but it still always loads in opera. I then uninstalled opera only to have voice search force close when it is finished searching. can anybody tell me how to set Maxthon as the default browser for voice search, normal google search goes to maxthon.
Thanks

Hi,
although I've already set Opera as default browser in the registry, the homepages of my contacts are still opened in internet explorer (same with links in google maps).
Any idea how to make ALL homepages open in Opera?
Thanks, Herr_Knigge
ps: I did search, but the registry tweak to set Opera as default didn't solve the problem... and that's all I found!
I have the N1 running CM 7.0.3. Whenever I tell a process to use a certain default, or remember another setting, for half these apps the setting is lost. E.g. I hold the search softkey to get to Voice Search, and it asks me to agree to use my personalized data. I have to do this daily.
When I open a video from Gmail, it asks me daily whether to open it in Opera, Browser, or YouTube. I check the box to have it remember, but it always forgets. Same with some other defaults. Default launcher however is remembered as being Launcher7.
Then it'll randomly forget other stuff, like my Minimal Reader widget stops displaying any RSS feeds. Another app loses all its settings. Just random occasional intermittent 'memory loss' all over the phone.
Could this be connected to installing apps to SD such as Opera Mobile or YouTube? Voice Search however is not on the SD, and that still forgets my acceptance of its personalized data.
Responded to your other post...
I just noticed that the browser homepage setting does not work anymore. It keeps starting with google.com even if another homepage is set.
Deleted the defafult homepage in setting and input a new homepage but still loaded google.com.
Does this have to do with the GPS/Location? Is there a way to fix this?
Not sure if this relates to a file related to "Location" installed recently for using with the Google Map/GPS. Does anyone know if this relates to the google.com default home page on the browser? It'll get ignored if if another site is set as starting home page.
Does anyone know, is it possible to delete a system file to master reset. It was working before.
Also noticed that everytime when going back to the browser, it will open a new window re-loading to google.com, so if I go back to the browser 5 times, there will be 5 browser windows opened to google.com
Hey guys, I have a couple of problems with chrome on One that you might be able to help with.
Before I go into that, does anyone know how to transfer my bookmarks from chrome (google) to the stock Android browser?
Chrome problems. Firstly, sometimes when browsing forums, some of the posts come in normal text and some in tiny! That is very frustrating, could it be a bug? Secondly, when I touch the address bar, sometimes it selects all of it (which allows me to go directly into searching something on Google and is awesome) but other times it doesn't, which is annoying. Can this be remedied?

Through the HTC sync app there should be a setting to transfer your bookmarks from the desktop but I think the only way to transfer bookmarks on the device is copy/paste them from chromes internal folder over to the stock browsers internal folder. It's worked for me on past devices so hopefully they didn't change it and a quick search should give you the directories for both.
The forum text size is usually due to settings on that forum, it'll happen in almost any lightweight browser.
The address bar highlight always works for me unless I touch where there isn't text or move my finger during a long press, maybe reinstall chrome to make sure it's the latest version without any bugs?
Thank you for the comprehensive and helpful reply! Do you know a way to automatically sync my bookmarks on the computer (chrome) to the One stock browser? You know, for those 'I'll bookmark to read it later' moments
If you go into Chrome settings on the phone, then click your Google account and just turn everything on.

Thanks for the reply, but I'm looking to sync my bookmarks at home (Chrome on the laptop) to the HTC One stock browser. Any idea how that could be done guys?

Oh, sorry. Umm... I never tried! If you're signed into Google with Chrome (desktop) is it not in the list of bookmarks somewhere?
I'm still on android 6.0, pure ROM, and have been using the Material aosp browser made for the M8, and just have to install the bookmarks sync.apk after flashing and get all my google bookmarks. I like the browser because you can set the user agent, it has a home button (seriously, why do they make browsers without a home button?) And I get all my bookmarks. Recently upgraded to the latest pure 7.1, cannot get bookmarks sync to work at all, tried several other browsers and apps, could not find anything that would sync my bookmarks. These are not through chrome, just the bookmarks that are in my google account. Deal breaker for me, I ended up restoring back.
Any alternative ways to get a browser that will sync with my google account, or way to install them manually?
