I would just make sure everythings synced to Google and then factory reset it from settings pal.

[Q] Default Browers Question

Hello everybody!!
I have a question about setting the default browser on my Galaxy S III, Im currently using Dolphin Browser and I know about the option in the settings to make it the default browser. But when I use the default "Web" Icon on the homescreen it still opens the Browser that came with the phone. I tried downloading apps that "change" the default apps used but still opens the wrong one... I had gotten this to work for my other S III and Galaxy Note before i had to return it due to a dead pixel but ive had no luck in getting it working again... if anybody knows anything on how to get this set correctly i would greatly apprecaite it!!
Thanks in advanced!!

Tried Settings, App Maanger, All, Internet, Clear Defaults?
Yes I have tested that, but when I go to the Internet app it says that their is no default app set

Oh, wait. I think I misunderstood your question. You want the globe icon that says internet to open Dolphin? Not sure if that is very feasible.
That icon is like an icon on your computer (I.e. it is not a shortcut). That icon is specifically for the stock internet app.
But, it's probably possible. I would start a new thread about how to change icons of apps. I use Nova Launcher and I can rename icons, but not change the picture. But, I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than me know how.
It is possible I've done it before but I am not able to recall how I did it lol

Oh.
Well, if you don't figure it out, I found this today: http://android.appstorm.net/how-to/...guide-to-customizing-your-home-screen-icons/

DesktopVisualizer does exactly this!

[Q] Stock Browser not opening default homepage

Hi all,
My stock browser used to set the homepage to google whenever close it by clicking on the Exit Button, but now it doesn't do it anymore..it opens the last visited page. Is there anyway to get it back as it was? I've checked the homepage settings and it's set to google..all settings look fine to me.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks guys.
Try wiping data of the browser and then set the homepage.

Most recent shared option? What happend to it?

Hey guys on my s4 there was an option to re use your most recently shared app of choice? I no longer see it. Example...if i wanted to share a puc theough text, i would click the share button scroll through the list of apps..and click on which texting app i wanted. The next time i would want to share something, the most recent app used would be an option and illiminate the scrolling through a list of apps to choose from unless i chose the share option again which would bring up the list of desired apps. Am i mossing something or did samsung do away with that?
Galaxy s4
My note 4
Anyone....
