Every time I launch the built in browser it opens to m.yahoo.com. I set my homepage to www.google.com. If I tap the three dots and then tap Home it does take me to www.google.com. Why wouldn't the browser open to the home page by default?
I'm using an AT&T One X that is rooted, but still using the fully stock ROM. Do I need to try to uninstall some AT&T crap?

I just don't get it lol..
I keep going to program them and find NO real use for them.
I just use them for my gf, brother, and well nothing for the 3rd one
edit:
3rd one is now the browser
I have one set for music two for composing text screen and three for xda. Mainly use the compose text screen because I don't have to open messaging and then click compose, just click button then enter name and type text

Same with me - I use them for launching programs that I use heavily use the keyboard for.
first goes to compose sms
second goes to compose email
and the third goes to connectbot
I used mine with launcher pro to go to home screen. There is a menu on the keyboard, so I wanted the full set.
I add the "home button" quick launch with launcher pro, just go to "activities" and scroll down to launcher pro. It should be the first activity under the application.
The only one I want now is the "back" button.
I use it to directly text my gf with 1 click then type message

I only have one configured so far, it launches Voice Actions.
So i rom'd my phone with Warm Z 2.2. At the bottom of the screen there are three buttons at the bottom of the screen, All Apps, Phone, and Browser.
Ive started to Play with Miren Browser and i really like that browser. Anyway to make that button open Miren instead of Internet?
Well I don't know on the sense roms, but try long pressing it and see if you can change the shortcut. Also try opening the miren browser, then go to settings and set it as the default browser, then it'll open be default.
Yeah, neither worked.. But i do thank you for a quick response
You can try deleting the original broswer..
I believe this is what you are looking for:
Sense (Rosie) right launcher button now configurable through new application, "Rosie Z Settings"
Hi all, I'm currently using Dolphin Browser as I find it smoother than Chrome, and I also like how you can swipe from the left to get to bookmarks.
One thing I can't figure out though, is that if I close the browser from "Recent Apps" menu, the next time I open it again it'll just show a default page instead of the page I was looking at last. Is there a way I can set it up to show the previously viewed page? I couldn't find anything under Settings.

Well, when you think about it it's actually a good thing, when you exit dolphin it clears the cache and everything I use Dolphin to do my banking for that reason. So if you want to keep your things around don't kill the app.
Agh so I guess it's not possible then. Its just that sometimes I'll accidentally close it, in which case I'd lose what I was viewing.
I like the idea of the pop up browser, but would only use from time to time. For apps asking how to open up a link, I tell them to open using my default browser always because that's how I want to view most of the time.
Is there a way to call up the pop up browser on demand from links? I'm thinking if I could long tap a link or double tap a link, it could open the link in the pop up browser. Keep in mind the source of the link could be any app, another browser, G+, Facebook, etc.
I know there is a mod to launch a stand alone popup browser, but I don't think that solves what I am asking about.
The developers of Air Calc have had a floating browser for a long time. They are currently making it available for 4.0+ android devices, i believe. I tried to download it to my Note 2 but it is not yet available.

...or at least offer "open link in popup browser" as a choice...that would have been the right way to implement this, because heck if I'm going to leave the defaults off so that 99.99999% of the time when I click a link destined for a full browser I then have to select "Browser" and then press "Just Once" all to open a simple web page. At the very least they could have put in a checkbox in the app selector box that would select the tapped browser in "Just Once" mode the moment you tap, so you don't have to confirm each time.
Sorry, I don't have a solution, I'm just completely echoing your sentiment about this.
I have a bookmark on the home screen that is defaulted to the pop up browser.
It is the only way I know to get the pop up browser on demand.
I press and hold link, copy url, press home button, hit my bookmark (I renamed pop up), then paste the url.
Hope this helps.
You can set the pop-up browser as default and hit the button on the top left to open the page up in the regular explorer.
Only problem is that this will open the stock browser. Which is frustrating if you usually use a third party browser like me!
Does anybody know how to make the top left button in the pop-up browser open Chrome rather than the stock browse?
That would be nice because I have all my data synced to Chrome.

Mine automatically opens in chrome when I click the top left button without setting anything up, I checked and there are no defaults set for either.

How did you accomplish this? Is there a pop up settings menu to set your default browser?
For everyone, floating browser flux in the play store might be an option.

Hi All,
Just got my G3 for 3 weeks and it's quite decent. However, I would like to ask if there is any method to let the browser floating on current app instead of switching to it.
The current scenario is that when I tap on a link in any app other than browser, it will switch to browser or pop up dual-window (if the app supports dual window), but I hope it can pop a floating browser. I know that I can do it manually from pull-down menu and select browser on the quickslide navigation bar but in this way I'll have to enter the address by myself.
Thanks
