That does not work. The bookmarks that are there are the fault bookmarks for that browser. Also when you go to the menu for that browser your instructions do not apply because those options are not there. I wonder did you actually do this yourself or do you not know what I am talking about and just guessing. thanks for giving it a try to help me anyway.

I use the stock browser and wanted to get rid of the tmo default bookmarks. That's what I did and it removed all of it. Actually now that I think about it, I might have went into application manager and cleared all data from the internet app. Try that.

try connect the phone to your home wireless network (if you have) open in the phone KIEs Air , it will give to you a ip xxx.xxx.xxx:8080 , in your pc go to this ip and you will have the phone option in the pc. select bookmark and delete or add a new once.

Had the same problem. Since then I've switched to Chrome, but this will fix your problem. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.impulseapps.bookmarkmanagerfree

Yes that did it. When I started the browser after that it let me delete any I wanted.

Is it giving a force close error, or just does it just re-launch touchwiz?
It doesn't even work. Each time i select touchwiz it will just freeze and shut. It won't launch. Any idea what went wrong

Phone Settings > Application Manager > All ....
1. Go to Apex Launcher and clear any "default"
2. TouchWiz Home > clear data / cache (this will reset/wipe settings of your hide screens etc and you'll need to set them up again)

If your not rooted and my previous suggestion didn't work,....
Back up data from internal sdcard to PC and Factory Reset.

Non-rooted: just copy any important folders etc from the internal sdcard to PC. You'll need to setup again, so make sure contacts are also backed up etc. a You may also lose allot of app data, and most can't be backed up without root. Ensure you have copy of your APN and wifi settings handy.
Rooted users: Titanium Backup app (backup app and system data) and make a nandroid backup with CWM recovery. And also copy to PC. Before restore any system app or data (red colour) with titanium, just asking for bugs.

Try to copy, browser crashes

So this has been going on for a while and I've just ignored it, tried to search up a fix
But couldn't find anything.

Are you rooted? You can clear it without a reset if you are rooted.
Edit: Just saw your later post that you are not rooted. Some have reported that they could clear the clipboard by deleting items using Polaris Office. You might try that but it did not work for me.

Need help with contacts

So, I want to back up the contacts I had on my phone sim card before flashing rom -Aokp task 650-.
I really cant stand that it auto synched all my google contacts. In fact... I think the invention of synch should be completely eliminated it messes up everything.
So I only want to have phone contacts and nothing to do with any synch or email or anything. I think i been clear enough haha.
Also the jellybean limits my options about contacts and sim card and such.
So...what options do i have?
Thank you in advance.

1. Get GoContacts or GoContactsEx. You can export all your contacts into an XML file. After you load your ROM, simple import the list back.
I would strongly recommend this cos of ease. Plus, you could keep multiple copies of contacts export files.
2. In TiBu, backup contacts storage, and restore later and reboot.

Go into contacts...hit menu... select contacts to display. Then select which ones you want to display i.e. phone, Google, Facebook, etc. Or create customized list. Phone is what is saved to your phone not Google. When you flash it's basically nothing but you
So do i have to reflash the rom and wipe everything from recover?
Update!
Ok i decided to delete all and simply impirted from simcard. All is as it should be.
Thank you.

SIM card has limits on number of fields you can store. So if all you store is numbers, this method should work great.

[Q] Error updating Google Keyboard

I'm running the latest Wicked Rom and play store says there's an update for the Google Keyboard which I run. It then tells me "Package file was not signed correctly. Uninstall the previous copy of the app and try again."
I can't find a way to uninstall the current google keyboard so I can update. Any ideas?
If its in /system/app/ rensme it with te extension .bak. then reboot and try to install it again.

Hey Doc, thanks for the very quick reply. I checked the app folder in system per your instructions but there was no Google keyboard listed. Any other ideas?
Then I guess its not a system app. (It may have IME somewhere in the name btw. Sometimes the keyboards don't have the word keyboard in the file name. For example, Samsungs keyboard is SamsungIME.apk.
Look in App management and see if you can uninstall it there.

Thanks Serio, so I renamed it with .bak, ran the update but got the same error message unfortunately.
I also looked in app manager, but it doesn't give me an option to uninstall it, I cleared the data and tried again but the same error.
Did you remember to reboot after renaming?
Go into /data/data/ and look for the folder for the keyboard. Something like com.google.latinime
Rename that folder too. I usually just put a Z or A in front of the name to make it easy to find.

Usually a different browser will work.
Or search play store for a downloader, it will strictly download the link you put in.
If it's a rom, just download on pc

Hello sir, try changing the settings in the browser to where actual files are downloaded to. If it says save to memory card change to internal, or vise versa. Hope it helps. The option is "default storage"

What rom....and what apps2sd scripts are you using if any ?
Changes you've made recently have caused this ???
Updates perhaps ???
My thoughts are leaning toward applications that point to downloads being force placed to external storage...
And the default is internal storage..
Something is likely causing a conflict in the mapping before the download starts...
If you are not opposed to testing, you should revert to a known rom setup that worked..
Or if needed...restore the device totally if the issue cannot be found...
Scripts are often hard to track down ...and I think one of them...or at least parts are present that prevent the correct mapping to occur...
Just my thought at 3 a.m.
So go easy on me....LOL...g
