Chrome Lollipop. Anyway to get new tabs to open to the front? - Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Launching new tabs in Chrome always go to the background. So dumb... But i can't find anyway to change this.

Chrome settings. Turn off "merge tabs and apps"

Same thing though. If i click on a link and have it open in a new tab it instantly disappears behind the tab I'm on. I want it to open right up to the forefront

Ahhh. I must have misunderstood your OP.
Yeah, chrome has always been that way. I don't think there is a setting to change it.

Just hit the recents button and you'll see your tabs as cards

By 1 extra click????

If i open a new tab in chrome it comes to the front with no specific settings

When I open a new tab it opens to the front. I've not changed anything

No, because he wants the tab to open in the front when it opens, like in Dolphin browser. What you said had nothing to do with the OP's question.
On a side note, if you opened the tab a while ago, and been in other apps, you need to fish around in your recent apps to find the tab, it is much easier if this "feature" is turned off and you can choose your tabs in chrome.

Donjuan and Wookie you guys are part right. If you open a new tab on its own it's fine. But if you click and hold on a link and choose to open that link in a new tab it drops down to the bottom and hides behind

Well you did indeed say launching new tabs
That's just the way Chrome is and has always been, even on the desktop version. If you right click and open in new tab, it doesn't automatically change to that other tab.

There is currently a way to do it: when opening a link a new tab, there is a brief white flash on the lower half of the screen; quickly tap it, to open the new tab.
Edit: eff me, maybe not... I am sure this was working yesterday.

which app created this ad?

The notification icon is a grey "i" in a grey circle.
Will uninstall whatever it is.
edit: went thru the latest astro apk and the notification icon was not in there, so its probably not astro.
I use astro and have never seen this. Not sure what it is that's doing it, but I don't think its astro.
Install a Task Manager and kill processes one by one until you find out?

Dumb question probably, but happen's when you push that notifcation? Browser opens up?
I typed in WonderWall and found and found an app called MSN WonderWall (Wonderful Wall magazine) and went ahead and installed it. Not sure if that's your culprit.
should show up in logcat.

Quick Uninstaller seems to be the culprit according to this.
This happened to me too recently, thought it was a fluke but after seeing this it reminded me. I dont have quick uninstaller so its not the only one doing it.
Are either of you guys using chrome 2 phone firefox extension, or any programs of that type?
Hmmm....I hope this isn't a security thing with C2DM.

Nope, you have to download chrome 2 phone. It's why I asked if you're using the firefox extention. That's not writting by the chrome 2 phone people and you don't know what's happening on their end.
The c2dm api is present, but you have to have an app installed to receive the intent.
In the Chrome 2 Phone combo, your browser extension sends the intent to the Chrome 2 Phone app, and the app displays the notification.
I can right a "happy buttons" app that I tell you displays happy faces, and that's all you think it does, however I can send ad notifications through the C2DM api and have it show a notification like the one you guys are seeing. All without the Chrome 2 Phone extention/apk combo.

No, no, I wasn't implying froyo came with chrome2phone, but that practically every froyo user has installed this and if it what chrome2phone, this would have been more widespread.

Did you read my post? Launch the app, once it is launched three little dots will appear at the top or bottom of the screen, these are where you enter any applications settings.

Try a long-press on the screen? Most apps will follow the android guidelines of using the 3 dots to indicate the menu, but others (especially homescreens) will rely on long-presses to declutter the UI.

[Q] Couple of Questions

I've used the S5 and figured out how to disable the magazine app, well, the S6 has a similar feature that uses Flipboard. I haven't been able to figure out how to disable.
Also, I have NO IDEA how to create a folder in the App Drawer.

Dunno about about the folders but you can hide (but maybe not disable) the Flipboard screen by unchecking its box in the "rearrange home screens" mode.

Yeah, I did that, and you can do that, but, there's no wrap-around feature; Basically you will have no screens if you swipe left once you hide it.

While the wrap around effect is long gone in TouchWiz, it is still implemented on most third party launchers. And call me crazy, but someone with so much experience should know how to simply add new pages and reassign the home page.

I wasn't asking how to rearrange home screens. The feature is alive and well in the 4. Don't see any benefit to removing it, but you're not really here for help or a discussion. Just to be argumentative and condescending.
Just pointing out something...the iPhone home screen doesn't wrap either, so it would do no good for them to get one for that feature. ...

[Q] How to turn off chrome popup about making page mobile ftiendly

I have recently seen this bottom.page pop up asking to make page mobile friendly. I have the desktop site tab on. How can I stop this from happening?
Shut off the desktop site tab.
I was not clear. I do not want the webpages in mobile form, so I want to that pop-up to be disabled.
Oh you were clear. Shutting off the desktop tab is the only way to eliminate that prompt.

Chrome did not do this until a few days ago. I suppose I could find an older version, but i would miss the updates in other areas.

Agreed, new "feature", could help on image heavy page when only need read text.
I noticed it only appears when at very top of loaded page and disappears when scroll just a few lines. It will reappear if you need/want it by scroll back to top.

Strange as Chrome claimed via Plsy Store to be last updated August 1st. I just flashed a new version of my ROM with an older Chrome, and I do not see the pop-up. Really wish it would be turned off.
Best guess: this is a server-side change on Google's part. This would explain how it could pop up now despite Cbrome not having been updated since August 3rd. It would also explain my receiving the prompt on the astronomy picture of the day site with desktop mode off. APOD doesn't have a mobile version and its pages are dominated by its astronomy photos, so I get prompted.
You can do this to disable it:
- Navigate to chrome://flags
- Search for text "Reader Mode"
- Change the setting of "Reader Mode triggering" to "Never"
Well color me blind. I didn't think Chrome for Android had chrome:// support, which is why I gave the answer I did. I personally got used to that popup, but it's good to know it can be removed, so I did.

Glad to be of some help on my first post to XDA ever. But to be honest, i found the solution on google and this thread at the same time. Don't know if i need to credit the source where i found the info. I'm not a developer and don't know if that is a proper thing to do.
Crediting your sources never hurts.

Try closing all your recent tabs. I wasn't able to start on my selected homepage until I did that. Now it works as it should.

That's odd, a new tab opens my home page. Maybe clear the cache on the app?
Yeah same here. All my new tabs open up to Google, no matter what I have my home page set to. Now if I hit the home button, it goes to my home page. But just opening a new tab, opens up to Google every time.

This is because the browser default page and/or the bookmarks can be made persistent by the vendor configuration in the ROM. Unfortunately without rooting and tampering with the XML file, I am not sure how to fix this aside from using an alternate browser.
