The Kindle Facebook app sucks. It just opens a web browser to mobile facebook.
I found a version of the regular facebook app that actually works great (besides the first post saying there is a newer version of the app but then you click on it and it says it cannot find it in the Amazon App store).
I would like to delete the kindle facebook app but extract the icon it uses as it looks better than the icon the regular facebook app.
I cannot uninstall it from settings-->applications
I did a search with root explorer and found this directory
/data/data/com.amazon.kindle.facebook
but there is nothing in it.
Any idea?
wat about /system/app (or equivalent?)
Try Titanium Backup, it can usually uninstall anything.

Which version of Facebook are you using? The .apk I used consistently gives me this error "[!] Login; An error had occurred during sign in. Please try again later."
Here is the apk I am using. I think I got it in another xda forum for another device. I searched fro facebook tablet.
So the facebook app goes to the m.facebook.com page (which kinda sucks).
The best thing to do is go to your web browser setting and force it to always use desktop web pages, then book mark facebook.com, this is WAY better than any facebook app.

I deleted Facebook and other apps I don't use with Titanium.
I deleted the amazon facebook app with the root exporer (r/w mode) and took the recent facebook app from another android phone. Works perfectly.
Hi all when selecting links in my stock Internet browser it fails to offer to open these links using relevant installed apps. I noticed this first with youtube links in facebook not opening in the youtube app, but after further testing this happens with imdb and play store. In fact I cannot find a webpage that offers to open any apps, it just launches in the browser window.
Opening these same links in Chrome solves the problem (ie it offers to open installed apps), so I don't think there is an issue with the apps themselves, but I would prefer to default the stock browser if possible purely so I can use the qslide function for normal web pages.
I've cleared defaults and cache and data for Internet, I'm not sure what else I can try?
I'm using e975 on 10c open, rooted and bootloader unlocked.
Hey guys. Super annoying issue here. When I click on a PDF link, my tablet refuses to download it. Usually, you click on the PDF and it will download and ask which app to open it with. Now, however, it tries to open it in the browser, but fails to do so. It also tries to download it, but fails doing that as well. This functionality still works with Firefox. I have uninstalled adobe reader, adobe flash, and uninstalled chrome updates but still no dice. Anyone know what's going on? I'm non rooted stock. Please help!
Same problem here. Long click and click save link as. O

Any idea what's causing the issue? At first I thought an update to chrome, but I've uninstalled all updates and it persists. Can't think of any other app that would cause this...

I'm also using Chrome and I can't figure it out. Right now I've just been clicking 'save link as' but cannot open the files from the notification area. I have to manually go to my pdf reader and choose the file from there.

Have you tried clearing defaults for Chrome in Application Manager?

Chrome isn't selected for any defaults. I've completely uninstalled and reinstalled it. I'm now thinking it's not chrome. When I click on a link for PDF, the web page will redirect to a black screen will pop up quick with an adobe PDF symbol and a status meter bar. The page will then redirect back to the original page and I'll get a notification in the notification pull down that says "error downloading file." Seriously don't want to factory wipe, but this is driving me mad. If I long press the link and save it, it saves it as HTML, not PDF. Wtf!!!

Looks like there is an app assigned as the default app to open your PDFs and is acting up. You got to figure out what app was that.
When I open a PDF from a browser on my 10.1, it asks me whether to open it using Acrobat, Polaris, HP Eprint or any other apps capable of reading PDFs.
You can try identifying what apps you got who can open a PDF and clear their defaults.
So I went through literally every single app on the device looking for defaults. Not one app is set as default. I finally deleted data, cleared cache, uninstalled updates and disabled the app. This finally did it. By disabling the app, it somehow reset it where uninstalling updates did not. This has worked for now, hopefully it sticks...
Hi, I have a stock HTC M8. After the latest chrome update, I always get asked to choose my default app, or links in this case, even though I have chosen "always".
Links launch the default app if they are normal links. But if the link is shortened or a redirect, such as the links launched from tapatalk, chrome has to be launched first to resolve those links and then I get asked about which app to use for the links. This is where I have my problem. Chrome always asks me to choose my default app even if I click on "always".
Any help is appreciated.
Did you try to "clear defaults" for Chrome?

Clear defaults for chrome did not do anything. But I thought let me clear the cache and data. Now it seems fine, it does not ask me for app confirmation everytime I click a link.
Thank you.
