change browser for all links - Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers

Hi all,
I use Google feed quite a bit for bite size news but I use the Samsung browser (actually a superb browser with the best dark mode I've ever seen, plus no ads)
But when clicking on a link in Google feed it always goes to the Google built in browser, the lite one, I can open up the Sammy one but is there a way to get Sammy to be used all the time from the first click on a link within the Google feed?
Doesn't seem to have any options within the Google app or the Sammy one.
Any help would be great.
Cheers.

Can change it in 'more/settings/general'. Look for open webpages in app.

Official Twitter App in Market

Hi
Can't se this mentioned yet but just to let you know the official Twitter app is in the Market and its awesome especially on CM5.07 Twitter contact sync
Nice >Was< using twidroid, this is much nicer imo. Thanx for the post about it.
Twidroid still better. No browser, no refresh on start up. Animations are for kids.
also is only supported for 2.1 roms.
I really like it. I had been using Touiteur since it came out, but the official app is better overall and much faster at refreshing tweets.

Same here. It's also the first version so it can only get better.
Uh? No retweets with comments possible. It doesn't save the position, you always must scroll down to read the first unread tweet.
Not so very good.
What's it called anyways? As I don't see it in the Market.

I searched for 'twitter' and it came up in the results.
For a first version it is very good but as some have pointed out it's missing features that are very useful, if not almost required. Integrated browser for links, image loading without a browser or via the browser, viewing of profile images and the most important from my perspective - remembering your last position in the list.
It's very fast and the integration with 2.1 is nice, using the same mini-bar option if you push the arrow to the right of someone's tweet. However, until it has the ability to remember your list position and some form of integrated browser I'll be staying with Touiteur Premium.
Does anyone know how to clear old tweets from the timeline? I've been using the app for a few days now, and every tweet I've received during that time is still there, which creates a little sluggishness. It'd be nice to be able to clear the list every once in a while.
Can't seem to find my lists... Yes i can delete and manage them, but i can't see them. What the hell? I think ill just go back to Seesmic... Simple, fast and reliable
Is anyone else having a problem with only a small fraction of your tweets being updated in your timeline? This is what happens for me: lets say I haven't used the app all night, and in the morning when I know I have 100+ new tweets to read, when I hit refresh only ~20 tweets are updated. Then when I scroll down past those 20 latest tweets, there is a huge gap after the 20th tweet. After the 20th tweet, there is a huge jump back to the last time I hit refresh (usually 8+ hours earlier). This only happens on 1.01...it did not happen on 1.00. Anyone else?

Text Scanner?

Is there such an app for Android? I want to scan text with the camera and be able to email it. Didn't find anything on the market with those search terms (text scanner).
Look for DocScanner, for example.
The feature you're looking is called OCR - Optical Character Recognition. I suggest searching the net instead of the market.
Thanks for your input. Never knew or heard that term before. I learn something new everyday!

It doesn't work on 2.2 unfortunately but does have Nexus one support so most likely works just fine on 2.1

[APP] Retab - Reader for tablets

I released my first app designed for honeycomb. It is a google reader client. I have just started on this one and is my first Android / Java project. Lots of new features are pending to come, together with complete google reader integration. It is mature enough for everyday use and supports all necessary basic features.
Would like to let you all know about it and get some feedback on the APP.
You can download Retab from the android market.

Thanks !
Deepak
PS : It is free
PS : Please rate & review on Android market when you get time.. and www.retabapp.com should be up and running soon with more themes & updates.
Heres the link:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.deep.tidbit&feature=search_result
I will try it out later tonight,
Thanks
Thank you very much !
thanks .. downloading and trying
Wow pretty nice reader and quick too!... anyway to share articles? Also the built in browser can't open the feed. Says page cannot be displayed... but a real good start I must say... one question, can we add our own feeds not to Google reader?

>>Wow pretty nice reader and quick too!...
Thank you ! Glad you like it.
>> anyway to share articles?
Yes coming soon... this is the next feature that I am working on. Any suggestions and pointers on this ? Im planning to support the usual email, twitter, facebook + google starring & sharing.
>> Also the built in browser can't open the feed. Says page cannot be displayed...
Hmm sorry.. Guess I should make the external browser the default instead of the experimental in built one.
can you please post the feed address that you were trying out. Does every page give a problem ?
>> but a real good start I must say... one question, can we add our own feeds not to Google reader?
Thanks.. I do plan to support it once the codebase is stable.

also will a widget be added in the future?
Yes a widget is definitely in my long list of things to do
Nice start!
I've been used to Feedly for the longest time, and I hope I'm not the only person who misses the left/right swipe to go to the next article
Hmm, I can't get it to work. Just force closes on mine

oh ! Retab requires a google account to be configured on your xoom. Support does not exist to key in username & password yet. Do you have one.. ?
Thanks, I really like this app. Do you plan to support folders inside other folders? Right now all items within all subfolders of a given folder display when that folder is opened. I'd prefer if, instead, they were grouped by and shown within their individual subfolders.

Glad you like it.. Sorry I am not clear what you are asking for... When you click home all the top level subscription folders are shown. You can instead click on the top level tabs to choose any 1 particular folder and go to a particular feed if necessary. Also google reader only supports 1 level of grouping currently.
Love the concept and really am looking forward to seeing the full potential of this app.

hey, just found your app.
big plus is greader sync and the 300kb it only needs...keep on rocking!
Awesome app,syncs very quickly with nice UI. My only suggestion would be to add a sync button while browsing a topic.

Thanks for the great comments... If you like it, please review the same on Android market.. !
I like the app and it works well except some of my feeds arent in a specific folder. On other google reader apps for honeycomb these feeds do show up but they do not on yours. Anyway you can get this fixed?
Wow love the UI. Working great so far!
Only thing would be to open in external browser as built in one seems a little glitch.

[Q] Best Facebook app alternative for Android?

i DID NOT WANT TO USE! the official Facebook app ANYMORE because its very Sluggish and rubbish useless! if they release some updates in feature it could be totally kill the app!
I DON'T KNOW WITCH ALTERNATIVE APP IS BEST BECAUSE WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF FACEBOOK ALTERNATIVE PLEASE RECOMMEND ME THE BEST ONE???
Use opera mini to browse thru facebook.
Use Friendcaster.
Sent from my Xperia™ X8
well.. i dont think any of you saw portal news....
oStream Brings a Faster Facebook Experience
FRIENDCASTER is the best of all the FB apps that i have used and i use it till today..
OSTREAM is an upcoming app... its pretty fast.. but its in beta stage.. few features missing but worth a try..
Facebook are said to be working on an android app! Until then I recommend using a browser to view Facebook and FaceUp to share pictures to Facebook. That's what I did on my SGSI. Now I have a Note II and Facebook is pretty fast.
you can try "fast for facebook". good for battery life ( it has exit option).:thumbup: friendcaster is great in feature but not good in battery life ..:thumbdown:
minimum edition
If u are not interested in notifications, use touch.facebook.com in the browser
Fast for Facebook
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.fastfacebook.com&hl=en
use any browser to use face book
THANK YOU ALL ... FOR HELPING ME DECIDE THE BEST ONE! NOW I AM USING BOTH FRIENDCASTER AND oSTREAM!
For some reason when I use Fast the most recent status update in my feed is from 2 hours ago. Is there a way to get more recent updates?

Nothing that throws ads at you is a "win".
Call it "free" , then throw ads at you constantly, and don't even give the option to remove the ads. lol Rubbish.
tried atrium, every time i checked my news feed it asked if i wanted to let it manage my notifications. i didn't want notifications but it kept showing up, so uninstalled

I kinda backed away from the facebooks quite a bit..
but I do still have the app 'Klyph" on my phone.
Now that is a pretty sweet fb alternative.

Now Atrium has an ad-free version and it's one of the best facebook alternatives on Android. I'm using it and turned off notifications successfully!
The only option it's missing is the group chat i think.
Hey, recommend you Maki for Facebook & Twitter, which includes Facebook, Messenger and, of course, Twitter.
It's free: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sunshine.makilite
Hope you will like it!

The only reliable and safe alternative that I have found so far is to use http://mbasic.facebook.com — it is the static lightweight old-school interface designed for old pre-smartphone era phones. You can also use it to access the 'text-mode' version of the fb messenger. Since the pages are static you'll need to refresh the page to get updates.
Another way to access the fb messenger without installing the android app would be using firefox with an extension for changing the user agent to that of a desktop browser (the native option Request Desktop Version does not work in this case).

Question Replacing google photo.

Hello, is there any way to make photos from camera app open in any other gallery app, not in google photos? It's kinda stink.

Oh this for the suggestion, I'll try that out.
By chance do you have any opinion on different dialers? Currently on the older version of Oxygen OS I'm running, the dialer is fantastic as it allows you to slide between the four tabs.
It looks like in all of the current dialers you have to manually tap each tab and you can't just slide to navigate...ugh

Sorry, I'm actually a fan of Google's apps here ... I use the Google Dialer and Google Contacts on Lineage, but I do highly recommend that simple gallery app lol
Simple gallery still doesn't solve the problem completely... Stock Google camera still needs Google photos for picture preview after taking it, can't get rid of it for good...

not sure of ANY fix for this, unless you replace the camera - which is why most people get a Pixel to begin with.
