[Q] Facebook places

Does it work for any of you on HD Mini? I tried to open Facebook in Opera (even in all versions - mobile, touch and full) and through Facebook app from Marketplace. I can't see any visible button on which I can click to post a place. I am from Czech Rep. so it should work here. Thanks for any hint...

Did you try XDAFacebook? It has that function, but I never tried it.
The MS Facebook App lacks that feature.

It works great..Just the startup picture oversize,everything inside the apps are working perfectly..

[Q] HTTPS websites not working

Hi All,
Just a quick one - I'm not able to use the built in browser to open https websites. Normal websites work fine.
Wasn't trying anything in specific, even Microsoft (https) didn't work!
Is this unsupported, or do I need to change an option to make it work?
Cheers,
Raa.

Are you sure it's not your carrier? You can even Microsoft didn't work, you mean HTTPS doesn't work in WinMo? I'm able to browse HTTPS sites no problem, but my carrier provides an open internet cxn.

Works fine in WinMo, so it's not carrier related. If yours works, its probably something else then, but thanks for the heads up.
Not using any special browser or anything?

Well I prefer Dolphin browser, but I have used HTTPS sites on the stock browser.
Any particular websites you're having issues with?

Chrome Browser - Always Desktop Site?

I hate how I always have to "request desktop site" when using Chrome. Has anyone found a way for it to permanently display desktop sites without having to check the box each time?

No, but that is the main reason i don't use chrome as my primary. Dolphin is my primary browser now.

I may end up switching back to Dolphin Browser for the exact same reason.

Keep having to sign in

Every time I come to XDA I have to sign in. This is the only page it happens to. (except the secure pages like banks and credit cards and such) But facebook, android forums and other chat sites work fine. How can I stop this. And yes, the box is checked to keep me signed in.

make sure ur browser has no setting to autoclear cookies (i dun know it has something to do wid cookies or not )
also try a different xda theme before u log in (i use xda 2013 1024)
also try a different browser
if they dun work.. jst dun blame me i tried

I think it has to do something with cookies. I set my browser (Firefox) to delete cookies after each session. If I close the browser and get to the site, I have to login again.
If I quit the firefox process using the task manager on Linux, I am signed in.

I use Chrome, I don't remember making changes, but that might have happened over the last upgrade. So I made a few changes myself, and I will see if that helps. But thanks for the idea's.

Am using chrome here too and it also happens with me
Will try the suggestions though

Funny, I got here fine. But if I use my bookmark, I will have to logon again. I think it has to do with Chrome.

ha same here
i bookmarked it as well

Same on aosp browser using bookmark.
What's weird is if I open a link in a new window once I'm on xda, that page will be signed in, or after a few pages.
I created new bookmarks but it's the same.

Well, the problem has seem to go away. At least for the last couple days.

Not for me, problem is still here, tried deleting cookies etc.

Problem here for me on chrome too

Hello. Newbie here. Sometimes I'm signed in when I load the forum page, but many times I'm not. It seems to me that it occurs when some time passes, but I'm not quite sure yet.

I have the same problem. It would reguide me to http://forum.xda-developers.com/index.php?nocache=1 after I logged in.

Same problem here. On chrome too.
Have XDA in my bookmarks bar and every time I click it, I will be logged out although I checked remember me on my previous login. Only happens with XDA, not with any other site. However, I dont have to always log back in again, if I flick through the website, on most threads it will show me as logged in but sometimes on some pages it will show me as logged out.
Strange

I am having this same exact problem. I can replicate it on multiple computers. Very annoying!

Change default download app (sound easy, right?)

I have ADM (advanced download manager) and it works great. But sometimes the links in pages don't get grabbed by ADM and the browser starts the transfer.
I'm pretty sure it's the stock app for the M9 because this happens with all installed browsers (6)
The aim is to have ADM download all apk files, regardless of browsers used.
Huge thanks for solving this

I want to stop this from happening..

So ADM takes over

Make sure auto intercept links is on in administration and story sharing the link to the app if that happens..

Yes it auto intercepts most files, but not all .apk files
The sites give a gibberish address that a simple copy paste won't work.
I want ADM to grab the coded .apk file within the URL and not directly copy paste.
However, I'm having trouble explaining and understanding your post..sorry

I have ADM with no defaults set

Clear the defaults for chrome then try the link again.

I have before but this is another issue from the browser
This is what I'm trying to disable, redirected to ADM

I understand what you mean, you want the downloads to be handled by only adm. The problem is that my adm seems to work fine but sometimes it won't pickup links as it should.
If you're having the problem of adm not kicking in at all i recommend uninstall and reinstall. Also, not accusing you of anything here, the proper Google play version will probably work better than a version downloaded from elsewhere.
It might be worth paying attention to what type of files and which type of website server (https or https) that it happens on. If you can post a link I can work with it would help a little.

Yep, I was using adm from another market. I'm using the google play version now and the problem still persists.
Here's the link of the culprit in subject. http://bit.ly/2qyTtzs
But as you will no doubt get the same result as you mentioned about adm not handling all generated links.

Regardless, unsolved at this time

Definitely stumped me.. Cant get adm to work with that link whatsoever.

It will be an issue with adm. You're best bet us to approach them via the contact link in Google play. Give them all the information you have and the link to test with.
