Ok, I used to be able to find a contact on Google on my Droid 1, and I could save it to my phone contacts.
I can't figure out how to do it on my Inc. If I long hold on the number in Google, it just zooms in instead of giving me options...
Ideas
When you say Google, do you mean you were using the browser to search with google.com? If so, I would think the ability to save a phone number on a web page to your contacts would be a feature of the browser. What browser were you using on the droid?
If I press on a phone number in Dolphin HD browser it opens my phone dialer where I can save it to my contacts. (normal press, not long press). Might also depend on whether your browser is set to normal view or mobile view in the settings.

HI all,
I use m.facebook.com quite a bit instead of the app. The reason being that I can select text from the mobile site and paste into google translate app. Since the update I can no longer select text from this mobile site? not sure what has happened.
Can anyone confirm that they cannot select text on this site in the browser. It behaves strangely. Thanks
I cannot.
I am on 4.0.4 and I can confirm that I can select text within m.facebook.com using the stock browser. Make sure you are not clicking on any links, and instead just holding down on regular text.

Tried this again and again. Just doesn't work on FB webpage. Used to be able to select and copy someones status update etc. Are you sure you are not on the regular desktop site? This only affects m.facebook.com.
The long hold and select text works fine on other webpages so I think its some change to the code on FB mobile.

I have found that I cannot in the news feed, but if I click on "comment" then I can select the post. Sometimes it doesn't work right. In Chrome, I cannot select anything on Facebook. I use Friendacaster when I need to select text, but prefer using mobile facebook for everything else.
Thanks for confirming that. Its quite annoying as I use the inbuilt browser for all my surfing on the nexus. The facebook mobile site seems to be rendering differently than before and preventing text selection. If I force the page to render in desktop mode there is no issue with text selection. Wondering is there a workaround to select text in mobile site.
I've tried everything that I can think of, but for the life of me I can't find a way to get the sync my open tabs on my pc with my dinc feature to work. I've tried all the little tricks like signing out and then signing back in on my pc, toggling sync open tabs, etc. Has anyone else been able to get this feature to work on their dinc? I've also tried this on all of the ICS roms and it doesn't work in any of them.
Anyone? Lol

Well it's a built in feature in the Chrome phone app. And yes, Chrome on your pc is needed as well. Basically, when enabled from the pc version, you can see what tabs you have open on your pc from your phone. Simply open Chrome and press the folder icon with the up and down arrows in it

Thanks, mabey if i get some time tomorrow i will check it out and see if i can get it to work for me.
It works for me and i've used it before.
1) Make sure your are signed into the same google account on both computer and phone
2) Visit about:flags or chrome://flags/ on your desktop google chrome browser and ensure the "Enable syncing open tabs" Is enabled/not disabled
3) If you've enabled what I said in #2 or if it was already enabled, visit chrome://sessions/ and see if you can see your device.
4) make sure you have the latest chrome for desktop. I'm currently on 20.0.1132.47 beta however I sometimes switch to the dev or canary version, and it works on those too.
If none of the above work, idk what you are doing wrong :/
Well, I tried everything you suggested but to no avail. I noticed when I went to chrome://sessions/ that my device only synced once about a week ago but it only synced the page that I was viewing on my phone (as opposed to the tabs that I was viewing on my pc). Maybe it's just not meant to be
Hmm. To clarify:
You have tabs opened on Google Chrome Desktop, that you are attempting to view on your phone?
Yup

okay for some reason i was thinking of the other way around (view chrome on mobile tabs on desktop chrome) I will check in a little and see if it still works the issue you're having. Last I checked it did work tho
Solution
Here's the solution that will fix your problem.
Follow the instructions below, do not skip any steps.
Desktop Chrome Settings
1. Go to Settings
2. Go to Advanced Sync Settings
3. Choose either Sync Everything or ensure Open Tabs is ticked
Android Settings
1. Go to your System Settings
2. Under Accounts, go to Google
3. Select your Google Account email address
4. Ensure Chrome is ticked
Android Chrome Settings
1. Go to Settings
2. Under Basics, click on your Google Account email address
3. Tick Chrome to Mobile
4. Click on Sync
5. Choose either Sync Everything or ensure Open Tabs is ticked
Now, the tabs you open in your desktop will be available on your Android, under the Synced Tab (at the bottom, next to the Favourites (star) tab).
The tabs you open in your Android will also be available on your desktop, under Menu -> Recent Tabs.

For a slightly inconvenient workaround, if chrome open tabs aren't working, the shared device history still does. I've been going into the history to find what tabs I need.
few days ago, my friend was using my note 2 to look up something on the internet. when the screen came up asking if he wanted to use the internet or the popup browser and always or just this once, he chose internet and always. i was looking a way to reset those options, so i can choose if i want to use full screen browser or the popup browser. anyone know how to reset it back? thanks in advance
Go to settings ..applications.. Then whatever browser is set as default and tap clear default

Every few days when using the OGP's built-in browser it spontaneously closes and I'm left with a message stating something about the browser having corrupted files. I cannot duplicate the issue. It just happens when it wants to.
Is there some way for me to re-install the built-in browser, or some way to check and replace files? I guess I could just set the phone back to factory stock and start over, but I've got too much mods and other stuff there to want to go through it all again.
So, is there a simple way to just fix the browser?
