I have installed the Wikipedia app, did not like it, and uninstalled it.
Now when I do searches on Google, the results are presented to me with a link to be read in the app, as if I still had the app.
How do I get rid of this behavior? Here is an example (found online). The link in red is supposed to open the Wikipedia app to the appropriate page; on my device I just get redirected to the Play store to download the app (which I find immensely annoying).

I think you are asking how to change the default app for a specific file type. Try this http://www.guidingtech.com/13517/change-default-program-android-file-type-open/. I think Astro file manager can also do it

Hi... yes that solved it.... I of course knew about file type open default, but somehow this did not come to my mind specifically for Google search results. But in reality it's the same mechanism that is used by Google and Chrome.
Thanks for refreshing my mind! :good:
Hi,
I have the same problem but I didn't get your solution. Which app should I "reset" default? I tried chrome and google search, but it doesn't work. Apparently there is no wikipedia since I've uninstalled it..
Thank you.

Exact same problem with my Nexus 4.
I'm having a similar issue, except I don't want to stop using the Wikipedia app. Both Chrome and Google Search will not open Wikipedia app links as displayed in OP's image. Touching the link does nothing. Attempting to correct the issue, I reset defaults for Chrome and Google Search, which did not help. The 'reset defaults' option for Wikipedia is greyed out, so I uninstalled the app. Google Search and Chrome Wiki links still claim the app is installed, and touching these links does nothing.

A little bit late, but it seems fixed.

I don't get the fix. Which app did you clear defaults for? I've resorted to using Firefox for the meantime, but I don't want to forever. I like chrome.
Please advise which app to clear defaults for.
If you search for Wikipedia on the Play Store website, you will see that it says that the app is installed. The same goes for every other app that you've ever installed. I think that may be the real problem.

I just restored an EL29 Android and fired up the stock browser to do a Google search since I set Google.com as my homepage. It got changed to a different site that looked similar to Google but wasn't.

I just downloaded an antivirus app, I might do a second one just to make sure, and will run it once I finish with this post. I will Google the site to see if anyone else experienced this. I've never seen this before.
Edit: Ran Google search and some people were saying they got it from brightest flashlight. I did dl it and run it to see if I had and screen burn in (I did :-( ). I had already uninstalled the program before running the browser. At the bottom of the dev's page on g play, it said the app adds a search shortcut to your home screen and changes your default browser homepage. I couldn't recreate this behavior. If this is/was true, this is very uncool of the dev company. I didn't see it in the bottom of the description in the play market because there was a lot of text there. Reading the user agreement was kind of counter productive. What I mean is when you run the app for the first time, it turns on the camera led and brings up the EULA. You can't read it and turn off the led. So, read the EULA but shorten the lifespan of your camera led. Nice. I font know if that was the guilty app for me either. Scan turned up nothing but something inside the autoroot.zip file I downloaded and have on the card. Something about elf:looter-h (pub).
Happened to me before but i caught really fast too ...i think it has to do with those wierd third party apps you manually install ...some can be screwy man!

U have malware....search airpush in the market and it will show u an app that will detect what is on ur phone causing the issue.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app
Ran airpush detector and it found nothing. Addons detector found lots but they were from legitimate apps. I'm not running any warez either. Slideme.org has gave me crap before from one of their apps offered. I forgot what it was.
That sucks. Guess u never know what's being downloaded and how many employees leave good reviews for an app. Best bet is only DL stuff from devs that have several apps with good reviews, like teslacoil.

any help on this would be very much appreciated
Normally the best thing to do is clear facebook data and log in again, if that doesn't work then uninstall/reinstall.

tried all that m8,endlessly searching on google,nothing works,many people have the same problem even with different phones,beginning to think it's a problem @facebook's end,have installed Android Pro Widgets,logged in no probs.
Would still like to find a solution though
Having the exact same issue here. Tried every solution that i've found, needless to say nothing worked.
Something i have found out is that if i use my girlfriends account, or any other account except my own, there are absolutely no issues.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So did you manage to find a fix, or did you just setup a new account? Because i have tried mostly everything, but i still have the issue.
This hasn't worked for me for ages, but a little work around:
Open the Facebook app until it asks for access.
Minimize app
Login to facebook on browser.
Minimize browser, and go back to facebook app.
This usually allows the app to login for me

Hi there,
I loved the music all that I had on my Huawei P8 Lite and would love having this one again on my OnePlus 5T.
Now I noticed there are different versions of it but managed to find the version that I wanted. Sadly for some reason when I tap on the button to find songs on my device it says it found 721 items but then it doesn't show them in the app... So basically I can't listen to my music on the app...
Does someone know a way to solve this?
Thanks in advance!!

First off that site is a known warez site and banned on XDA. So I would remove the pic.
Without any logs taken to show what the error is The only guess would be it relies on that OEM framework to work properly.

Thanks! Not sure if I can get a log somewhere but I'll see, it just shows that songs were found but doesn't show them in the end, same issue is with other versions, although some of the Chinese ones (that I'm not looking for) shows the songs without issues

Do, a search for pulling a log cat. That will tell you how. The follow the directions and it will tell you what's wrong. You can compare the two versions to see why one works and the other doesn't.
Saying OK, Google opens Voice Search and tapping on google assistant icon opens up Google Search.
What I have tried:
Clearing data and cache for both Google App and Google Services App
Going back to previous versions of Google and Google Services Then updating them
and that's about it

I have been having this problem for quite a while now. I'm using a rooted stock version with TWRP, Nova launcher. Always get the "can't reach Google at this moment" message.
Like it sucks. I tried literally everything. The beta is fine everywhere else, but the missing google assistant.
I've been having all kinds of issues with Assistant as well. I asked it to "navigate to Michaels craft store" and it just kept asking which Michael from my contacts I wanted to navigate to over and over and over. Kept glitching out till I rebooted and now it only loads the search widget lol.

works here i tried to upload a screen record but wont upload.
Have you guys figured this out at all? I don't understand why no one else is having these issues? It's persisted through all Open Betas thus far. Look at my screenshot. This is the screen I get when I use the assistant shortcut app. It will kind of work if I do say Ok Google but then it just bugs out in all future searches. This is maddening.
Had the problem also in stable. Switched to Beta (clean install) to get rid of it and try out pie, but still the same.
I found out a solution myself
Go to "Phone Settings"
Select "Buttons & Gestures"
Enable toggle for "Quick activate the assistant app"
Go back to home screen and hold the power button for less than a second
This will enable Google Assistant app and you will get the welcome screen
Click "Get started" on the bottom and click the "Agree" button to activate and select the features on next screen
This will solve all the issues. Now you can go back to "Google" app and go to the 2nd tab named "updates"
Don't forget to press the "THANKS" button on this post

I think this is a problem with the latest chrome update, I downgraded to an earlier version and it worked just fine. When i upgraded again it stopped working. Hopefully they'll get it sorted soon.
