There are 3 bookmarks baked into the Samsung browser on my Verizon Note 8 that can not be removed. I can live with the one for Google, but the one for Mobile Web and Accessories are annoying the hell out of me, especially the mobile web one as it doesn't even take you to a functioning web site.
Used to be that disabling the partner bookmarks entry in the apps section took care of them, but that is no longer the case. To make it even worse, you can't even reorder them, so they are always at the top of your bookmarks.
Anyone come across a way to get rid of them?
I use the samsung internet beta version instead, it even has ad blocking cappabilities, I use it together with adguard and I do not see any ad anywhere

I've tried opera mini and opera mobile with no help. I am looking to have full access to my calendar, gAIM, and all those neat little services I can get when I open gmail on my computer.
I've been try to patiently wait for opera mobile 9 but wtf!
and I don't want to involve outlook, IMAP or any other BS "sign up for this" service. I want to load my browser on my Kaiser and see my full calendar (which my wife and I are able to share/edit in real time which rocks), on the go from anywhere...
I don't get it. What services are you looking for exactly? If you wanted to see the GMAIL website exactly as you would on the computer albeit some small differences, logon and select FULL view instead of mobile view on the bottom. Other than that, can you be more specific as to what your looking for?
No, the "FULL" gmail experience in Opera or anything I try does NOT include the gchat list on the left, the gdocument access and absolutely does not load the gcalendar as it looks on my computer. It loaded some cruddy un-editable single page calendar.
I'm sure that this isn't what you are wanting, but thought that I'd throw it out there anyway...
Have you ever tried OggSync? It allows you to sync your calendar with Google Calendar directly. I use it all the time now so that I'm not tied to Outlook. Basically every calendar that I have in Google is sync'd to a category on my Tilt.
As for Google Docs, this page (http://www.google.com/google-d-s/whatsnew.html) claims that you can access them via docs.google.com/m but I haven't tried that yet.
yeah, thanks for the heads up on oggsync but I'm done with "syncing" I've done it in the past and it's a pain, never smooth and NOT real-time, i.e. changes made aren't immediately seen on my wife's calander. The way we keep it now if she adds something to her shared gcalendar I immediately see it on mine and vice versa. With mobile calendar you only get to add, no edit and can't view months at a time easily (or at all?).
Was hoping Opera 9 would fix this.
P.S. I realize these are processor intensive scripts to make g-stuff look so awesome but I think (read: hope) the kaiser should be able to handle it.
Hey all, first time poster here. Just bought a Fuze the other day, loving it thus far - but AT&T is gay in regards to their texting, $20/mo for unlimited texting on top of $30/mo for unlimited bandwidth. I have the unlimited bandwidth, but only $5/mo texting. (200 text messages)
My question is, like the title suggests, out of all the Google apps listed on their mobile page, which ones use messaging and not bandwidth? Specifically, I want to know about Gmail - but I also want to know if any of their other apps use messaging, too. I was playing with the maps part last night with the traffic option turned on, and it's so pimp I nearly had to change my pants. I need to make sure stuff I want to use doesn't sit and use text messages, though. I found Palgrino in another thread here for non-messaging IM services and that's a pretty tight app, but I want something to check email with. (could also use an app to check non-Gmail email with that only uses bandwidth, but I'm guessing I can find that via search, haven't tried yet)
Thanks in advance
Congratulations on your purchase. Hope you're happy with it. I think only the default AT&T "instant messaging" program uses text messages. Another revenue opportunity, I guess.
Palringo is my preferred instant messaging program. I switched to it precisely because it only uses data.
As for Gmail, it is - in my opinion - easier to access it via IMAP using the Messaging program. It integrates into the operating system much better. If you need instructions, they should be somewhere in these forums or on the Gmail website.
If the person your "texting" with has accesss to gmail too, they can send you either sms' (youd still have to pay) from gmail. OR do what i did till i turned on texting. Set your IMAP gmail to check every 5 mins.

I just got the nexus one, was wondering whether it was possible to sync the browsing history and bookmarks from my google chrome browser to my nexus one 2.2. If all my browsing history transferred from my chrome browser to my nexus one it would save me a lot of time.
send to phone

Nothing yet but I'm sure it's in the roadmap. I really want this for my bookmarks too and I can't believe they haven't done it yet.
Hey there
I got my phone about a week or so ago and I discovered that I have some bookmarks that my provider put into the browser. I am however not interested in those bookmarks but am unable to simply longpress on then and then select delete
So is there any other way to get rid of them. Its stupid bookmarks leading to their shop so I can buy movies, music etc and I'm not at all interested in that kind of thing really.
Download Bookmarkymark app from Market. You can remove these bookmarks with that app.
That app worked like a charm
Yes, but after a reboot, all bookmarks are visible again.
Is there a permanent solution ?
I have never minded using both Samsung and Google's services since the system-level apps for Samsung cannot always be uninstalled. I have found many Samsung apps to actually be better than Google's, especially with the OneUI update and some of Google's in a mess, but right now I am reaching a point where it is affecting my contacts and such to a point that I am annoyed.
When I am on my phone, I have multiple ways to contact people on any given app.
On Samsung Messages, if I tap on one person's icon to open the contact info for them, it will open properly. If I tap on a second, it will say "CONTACT NOT FOUND" even though they are linked and in my phone\contacts for both Google and Samsung - and I can access it any way. I can even type them in as a person to send a contact.
Then there is the issue that Samsung and Google contacts do not always format phone numbers the exact same, leading to minor issues here and there with area codes, international codes, etc.
Last, I noticed if I go into my Samsung account and look at a contact, it lists a whole 4 or 5 "LINKED CONTACTS" with the same information.
I thought that I already merged all my duplicate contacts with my Google contacts long ago? I did not have any issues with this on my Galaxy Note8, even with the version of the OneUI apps I had on there.
Here's what I am getting at: I am positive I am not missing any setting, but running into the inevitable. Easy contact syncing between phone\email\contacts was possible with Android 8 and my Note8, but updates and overhauls have created a problem where it is messing up again.
Do I even need to keep my Samsung account active on my phone? Can I uninstall the Contacts and Messages apps by using the ADB force-uninstall command? I am sure it will work but I do not want to break my phone too much
I'm also tired of having two calendar apps.
I actually like all Samsung's but I need to be able to move in and out seamlessly between computer and phone and right now Samsung isn't providing the integration it had in the previous versions of these apps for me.
Even Maps is a bit too different.
Advice?
