Using the Android stock browser is an exercise in self-hate. Install Google Chrome, and enjoy synchronizing with your desktop. The same history, the same bookmarks, the same ultra-fast response to which we've all grown accustomed.
Just ordered one of these for the eldest son. Hope he enjoys it!

How do you open links in other tabs in Chrome?
I have it sinced but can only open one link in the main window. I can't figure out how to have multiple tabs.

Like this ?

Sorry let me clarify.
When I hold down a link in other browsers an option pops up in the to open in new window, open in new tab, etc..
I do not get that option in Chrome, or figured it out yet.

Thats strange for me it works fine. Holding a link brings me a pop-up menue

The stock Samsung browser moved off WebKit to Chromium starting with the N3. I'm fine with the stock browser and like how it syncs open pages between my two Notes.

You guys took it wrong as I used word paste in my querry....actually what want to say is that copying text in stock browser is very slow...the cursor moves very slowly when we are trying to copy one line to other...

Dolphin Browser adding bookmarks

I have all my phone bookmarks in an html file. I would like to add them to dolphin, but cannot figure how to do it.
In Xscope I have my homepage, a speed dial of all my bookmarks. I would like to do the same thing in dolphin.. how do i do this?
Dolphin does not allow importing of bookmarks from anything but the stock browser or other versions of Dolphin.
Can you import yours into the stock browser and then into Dolphin? Kind of a PITA but should work.

Well I also do not see a way to add bookmarks to the stock browser either.
Must be a way, nobody would use dolphin it had such an epic flaw.

Bookmarks 2SD. You have to search for it. But I think it only exports iirc.

I haven't seen this, but does anyone know how to delete that stupid Sprint bookmark?

As the title says, the bookmarks on the stock Web browser has a link to sprints site
http://vision.sprintpcs.com/
which I hate!!!
Anyone know how to get rid of it?

Long press on the bookmark in your bookmark folder, and choose delete.
I've tried that first, it said "This bookmark cannot be deleted. "

it can't be deleted if it's still your home page...set a different home page and try to delete it again

It's not my homepage. I put yahoo as my homepage. I still can't delete it. ><

It's got to still be set as your homepage if it's coming up. I always set Google and just go to Bookmarks and long press until you get the set option for home. Then close that tab and it should be gone for good!
I use s bookmarks widget and I cant get rid of it either..
I really appreciate the response, but please believe me when I tell you, it's not set as the homepage. I can't get rid of it. Here's proof.
I've made yahoo my homepage, yet it still shows that stupid Sprint thing as such. And it won't let me delete it.

edit /system/csc/feature.xml to change any instances of http://sprint.com/powerdeck to whatever you want
also look in /system/csc/customer.xml for any instance of http://sprint.com/powerdeck and change it to whatever you want. (this file is a list of stock bookmarks for the browser)
Do I need to be rooted to do this?
I'm fully stock in case you need to know.

yes, you need to be rooted. and the page is actually http://sprint.com/powerdeck that needs to be changed. it just forwards to vision.sprintpcs.com

there is an option for using either your local bookmarks or gmail ones... the gmail ones are your personal bookmarks. Im not on touchwiz right now otherwise I'd tell you exactly how but its certainly possible I did it for this reason
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
I am not sure if this will work for everyone. Update and start Kies. Enter your pin. Click the Bookmarks tab. Long press and Click Delete. Tell it OK. This deleted the stupid Sprint Powerdeck bookmark from my device permanently.
Aloha
I know this is an old thread.
You can't get rid of the default page that appears when you open Chrome, unless you root your phone. The best you can do is to sent more pages on the startup screen or press the home button to the left of the address bar.

[Q] Multiwindow usage trick if possible

So, i am on att i1317 4.1.2 android with multi window enabled.
Is it possible to open any url from gmail to chrome in multiwindow automatcally? this would be a great boost to the productivity rather manually dropping gmail and chrome into two windows.
I thought that was what pop up browser was for. .. I know it's not Chrome but still. ..

Popup browser is pretty much useless for the following reasons:
1. It comes as a popup rather fit as a multi-window slot
2. If you need to read more and make it full screen it reloads the entire page again making it very inefficient thing to do
3. being a popup its mostly obstructive to the base window
4. And finally its not a chrome
So, would have been nice to have a way to open urls directly in the chrome as a multi-window rather manually doing it

How to open and annotate pdf i s note?

Hi
Been playing around with s note for a while, and noticed that I'm failing to find how to open and edit pdf in s note. I've seen several people mention it but l can't seem to find where and how.
Help.

Not true. Here's how to import a pdf into the new S-note. However, I suggest picking another app, such as ezpdf.
open s-note and navigate to "All Notes" section by tapping the top left corner.
tap the menu softkey on the device
select import
If you don't see the import option, you're not in "all notes" you're in "recent."
Cool thx !
Btw any recommendations regarding pdf apps. Tested ezpdf, but find it a bit bulky and cumbersome. ..

Gmail 4.7.2

Anyone have any luck selecting more than one attachment at a time through the new Gmail update?
Mine only allows one selection at a time. Or maybe I can't figure out how to select more than one. Tap and hold does nothing.

No one has this issue? Or no one uses Gmail?

Don't use gmail but as I test I tried to attach more than one item at a time and it didn't allow me to either - looked into settings and all sorts and just seems like it only allows the one at a time I'm afraid - well from what I can see anyways.
But here's an idea why not place your Gmail account into Samsungs Email app then when you have your Gmail account open in the "Email" app open up Multiwindow of gallery or My files and then you can easily drag and drop content quickly and pretty easily.
It's just an idea and probably of no help but thought I'd atleast mention it lol.

Thanks for the suggestion. I was refraining from using the stock email app because It doesnt support push. But I will try it out. Thanks.
