Hi - Please forgive me if this question has been addressed elsewhere. I searched the site but couldn't find anything on this issue. I recently upgraded from the Galaxy S4 to the Galaxy S6 Edge. In my old phone, when I clicked on link for post in Instagram for example, the link would open in the Instagram app or I'd be asked when I app/browser I wanted to use to open the link. In my current phone, this no longer happens. The link only opens in the browser with a message saying get the app from the Play Store even I have the app on my phone. Does anyone know why this would happen in the Galaxy S6? More importantly, does anyone know if there is a way to get links to open in the app I have installed instead of the browser?

It's not just IG, I just used that one as an example. Links don't open in any of my installed apps such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.

Not sure what to tell you, I don't have any issues. Kinda annoys me to always have to answer what app do I want to open this with.

My old phone did that, it asked and let me select the app for default. My new phone asks but only gives me browser options not apps. I'm sure it's some weird setting somewhere that is the culprit but I haven't found it yet. Thanks anyway!

So I was thinking that the contacts picture feature is really under used in most phones. I was wondering if there was a possibility of having an app that would sync contact photos with their profile pictures on facebook. You could sync by name or phone # if your friends have put their cell #s on their profile.
Also as a side note to that it would be nice to have a better facebook application something similar to the Iphone's app where you are able to use facebook chat aswell as see notification popups and such.

/me looks to see if he's on candid camera.
1) Open Market.
2) Search for "facebook"
3) Install app named "Facebook Contact Sync" (Syncs facebook photos to contacts)
4) Install app named "fbook" (general facebook app, no chat)
5) Install app Named "Meebo" (Supports facebook chat)
why cant there just be an all in one facebook app with chat. Why do i have to use 2 programs to do the job of one app that was already developed for the iphone and which im sure can be developed for the g1.
Sorry sir I'll get right on that.

Well from what i have read on this forum as well as off site, Developing a app for facebook with the abilities of the one for the iphone is virtually impossible at this time.
See, google and myspace are together and microsoft and facebook are together. and with apple, that app has access to the API's within facebook to easily sync and access facebooks information. Google doesnt have that ability since them and microsoft are "enemies". Full functionality with a facebook app for the G1 or android in general is probably not going to happen for a little while unless someone finds a way to access all the information on facebook.
i kinda of have an idea but i am not exactly sure if it would work

Are you the creator of the facebook app?
Bhogan123 I dont really think that that is entirely true though. There are many other programs that have integrated features with facebook. I dont think they are exclusively contracted with any company.
Fbook.
Does anyone of you have the last version of Fbook? Or any older one that is not current. I hate the new one, it won't let me upload photos!
Thanks in advance.
Have you tried emailing the dev and informing him of this issue?
I was being stupid. My album was full, it wasn't the application.
I just use iphone.facebook.com as a bookmark... the app just links you to the page anyways and I find it more stable than the app at times.
fBook application not in Market?
A friend just got the G1 this week. He is looking for the fBook application but cannot find it on the market. If he searches for "fBook" it does not come up. When he looks at the applications by popularity list, it is not there. I sent him the cyrtek barcode link and the market cannot find it: "There are no matches in Android Market for the searchname:com.nextmobileweb.fbook"
I can see it just fine on the market, I can search for it and find it, and the Cyrtek Barcode URL works as well. I do have the apk and I am waiting for him to get home to install it by "hand".
My question is, what could be the reason he does not see it? I do not yet know his firmware version and he is not the "rooting" kind. I assume (shame on me) that if he got the phone this week it should be at least on the RC 33 version, yes?
wergeld
Search typing facebook, i downloaded today...
Depending on when his supplier got the phone, it may still be on RC30. You should ensure that he's on RC33 at least, if for no other reason than he'll be ready for the OTA update push that's now occuring.
Because the market also works on SDK, if he is on the Android 1.0 SDK, he will not see any 1.1 or 1.5 applications, just as users on the 1.5 SDK will not see any 1.1 or older applications on the market either.
FBook?
EDIT: Apparently its still in the market...
Can someone confirm?
Im runnin ADP 1.5, and Im not really believing that it runs off SDK thing because I just re-rooted my new phone coming from another phone with 1.5 on it. I was able to download it on that phone fine.
I just did a fresh install of jf 1.5 adp, and can no longer find fbook in the market. I had this exact same rom installed previously, and was able to locate it with no difficulties. Seems strange...
I can't find it either and I'm on the new 1.5 official update.
Cyrket.com doesnt even have it listed under the "Social" section for any of the SDK numbers.
Maybe they're fixing it??
This is strange....
I can confirm its been pulled from the market. I just reflashed this morning and could not find the app. So I check my store demos just in case it was blocked. None of my G1s can find it in the market. I miss this app, if someone could upload the apk please, that would be awesome.

Should be 2.1.1
Why was it pulled?
Apparently it was removed from the market. Does anybody have the apk? It was a free app, and one of my favorites. I had to do a wipe and didn't backup my apps assuming I could just re-download it from the market.
its available in this market

Hey just a heads up to anybody who cares, I recently installed market enabler and several Mp3 file sharing apps popped up, also a nice updated version of Music Junk. Outstanding!

i recently bought a Samsung Galaxy Tab wifi version and I tried doing a search for Yahoo Messenger in the Market but it doesn't give any result, says that 'no application found'.
but on my mini pro, Yahoo messenger shows up so i end up downloading it in my mini pro and transfer it via BT on my SGT.
any idea why it's not showing in SGT's Market? is there a way for me to be able to fix it?
I'm running Overcome 1.4.2 with Globe as my carrier and it shows up fine in the Market. Didn't see it on stock though.
i've heard of Overcome but i'm not sure if i can use that on my SGT since mine is the Wifi version.
here's what's going on with the Market that I have on my SGT Wifi version.
At first i thought that Yahoo Messenger is the only app that I can't find but unfortunately, I can't locate GO Launcher as well. It shows the Go Launcher themes but not the app itself.
So I'm assuming that there might also be other known apps that might not show. Is there a way to fix or patch the Market so that it would show the apps?
i've tried MarketEnabler, MoreLocale2 but it's a no go .. i've seen someone post a copy of Market here. if i overwrite the existing Market app, won't that cause a problem or will that fix the problem?
anyone?

found a temporary solution .. i've installed Amazon's AppStore, AppBrain and Applanet.
Appbrain relies on Market so that's really a no-go. Applanet works since it shows the files that I need, like, Yahoo Messenger for instance. It even shows the plug-in.

non-market apps are enabled but the apps that i've mentioned above are still missing.
Hey, guys. While using Facebook and Facebook Messenger apk, when I try to share externally and select the Messenger apk, I receive "Messenger failed to load attachment." I'm currently on Lite 7.0, and I've tried another stock 7.0 ROM. Same issue. I've tried to uninstall the apk, cleared the data within Messenger apk, and have even tried to clear all device cache. Anyone else have this issue and know how to fix it? Thanks!
fix it???
solution.. remove anything facebook from the device
(just kidding, i just hate facebook on any of my devices, or anything related to)
Yeah, I know a lot of people are anti FB. I like it. Use it daily. And don't mind the cons. Just want it to function properly, lol.

dont mind me, i was just reflecting on my opinion of the app from a few years ago. have you checked if that function works for others btw?
It's borked in the latest beta also so..........
Sharing to Messenger using other apk works. Photos, G+. So, it does appear to be the FB apk on 7.0 then. I didn't have this happen on NP5.

maybe they just have to fix it for 7.0, but that would be on facebooks side.

It's with the fb app updates it was doing it with dp5 also
Click the three line menu button scroll all the way down and select report a problem. List what device fb app version number and what Android version you are currently running
And tell them what is happening. I just reported it also
Does anyone know how to stop Chrome from trying to open or install an app when you click a link? For instance, I get an email from TurboTax for a monthly update on my credit score. If I click the link on my computer, it goes to a webpage. If I click the same link on my phone, it tries to install their app and I can't find a way around it.
Any ideas? I googled for a how-to and I couldn't find anything helpful. It's not a default app thing, as far as I can tell.

Try to open the chrome in desktop mode... Then click the link
Edit: just realized what you were asking... If u already have the app see if u can remove the defaults.. Also you can make another browser like Firefox as your default one and see if that makes a difference
