Unable to set browser homepage

It keeps starting up with google.com even if it's set to another page under setting. I already shut off all location based features (GPS, etc), but not sure if this relates.
Is there any fix on this or it's a common bug?

Set home page then shut down phone, then restart phone, it should load now.

Tried already. Actually, in the settings, it displays the url as the one I set as a homepage, but even that it will still load google.com when the browser is launched.
Everytime when going back to the browser, it will load a new window and go to google.com
Is there a file in the system's directory that can be deleted to clear the cache? Not sure if this is possible if the phone is not root.

Try clearing cache, history, etc. in the browser settings, then remove the battery, install battery and see if that works.

Still no help, already tried the following:
Cleared all cache, set browser to factory setting, removed battery, removed SD card. Rebooted still loading google.com
Any other method besides going for the last step which is a hard reset? If there is a file in the browser's system directory that can be deleted to reset the preferences.

Are you typing in a valid url, if not it goes straight to Google, just a thought.
Download Dolphin Browser from the market, see if it works ok from that browser. It sets your homepage correctly. I had the same problem as you with the stock browser, but my instructions worked fine for me.

I tried firefox, opera mobile, dolphin all started up with google.com (same as the stock browser), even I set it with another "valid" url, they all ignored it.
I guess there is not a choice but a hard reset.
And of course the url is valid, it's a major one, which I have to enter manually each time because the browser ignores it.
Does anyone have an idea if this has to do with the location setting for GPS?

Dolphin browser

Hi
I have the most recent dolphin browser and flash side loaded for the kfhd. I am experiencing crashes a lot with dolphin to the point where it occurs almost every session. Has anyone found a version of dolphin that doesn't force close? I am almost going to delete and just use silk, thankd

V9.0.0 great to me. i will continue testing this version. and let you know how it works.

Dolphin worked good for a while then nothing but crashes, now I use Holoweb, it's great no crashes.

Does holoweb enable desktop pages only, I hate mobile websites. Also flash is a must. I tried 9.0.0 and 9.0.1 and both crash frequently. The last version before 9.0.0 also crashed.

Google launcher not working on HTC one

Can Antone out there help me get the Google launcher, gallery and camera working properly? I've tried a few fixes on this site and others for the launcher but none work for me although some HTC one owners are reporting no problems.
When I try open the launcher app it crashes right away. I've changed the defaults and put in a new sys/lib file also but still just crashes on start.
Camera works as well as video but crashes when I try use pano or photos here. The gallery app same. Crashes on start. Please help if u can. Thanks

What ROM/Kernel are you using? Are you rooted? That sounds like the kinda errors I get when I flash a new base without wiping.

I'm rooted but not on a custom ROM. And I didn't flash anything just installed the apk files. It works perfect on my galaxy S2 although the OK Google voice search only worked for a day. But won't work on my one. ?? I really want it on my one though

Sync gallery to blinkfeed??

Hi. I'm a fan of BlinkFeed....
I'm also a fan of having a home screen page with the large gallery widget.
I know on the BlinkFeed that it has gallery as a highlight option, but for some reason it fails to display gallery images. If I click on the gallery button via BlinkFeed, it says 'no content pull down to refresh'
I'd like it to mix gallery images with everything else that's subscribed to, but gallery is the only one that fails to display.
Any help?

I'm having the same issue, didn't notice it before. i do remember that few pics from my gallery used to appear on my blinkfeed
do you have the data / wifi on ? what happen after you refresh???

It's never worked, the phone is new. I downloaded the tips&help on BlinkFeed, it definetly shows gallery, at first I though I'd have to use picasa.
I pull down to refresh but no images appear. I'll try some settings on gallery

Tried the settings>apps> to any relevant app I could think of to see if I disabled something by mistake. It could be a random named app maybe
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Alright, I may have found a connection between BlinkFeed and contact card/my profile on the quick settings tabs. There is a hidden feed on just yourself, like Twitter gallery etc
The thing is, this gallery is also empty

Bit of a solo effort this but I don't mind aha
Ok so this maybe down to settings>accounts&sync>HTC account.
This account has sync turned OFF and is unable to turn on for reasons unknown.

Maybe because I have a Google account sync currently?

I also have google account with sync on bit not the HTC and i remember that it used to works when it was on 4.1.2 but don't remember when it stopped working, after which update i mean.
will search the web more.
sorry for not answering earlier. it's due to different time zones :silly:

?

one post i found here at XDA that a guy had the same issue but solved it by replacing the gallery app with the 4.1.2 version and it worked for him.
Unfortunately, many people are having this issue without an obvious cause or a solution.
will search more

Is asking HTC a thing that people do around here? Or forbidden haha
Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

Got the same issue. I will try to replace the gallery app, but I don't think so. No one seems to care
I like the option because I like Blinkfeed.

From where did this came from?

Looks like you either installed Clash of Clans or it was some spam that you accepted to your phone. You can try to locate it in Titanium Backup or Google Play Store, then you can uninstall it or freeze it.

No man , i screen shot this pic as an example of this notification type . This type shows with every notification whatsapp facebook etc.. but im sure its from the settings of my rom . But i cant find it venom setting is soo branched.
