Do you mean in Samsung Internet? Click on the three-bar/hamburger menu -> settings -> home page and choose the page you want to use.

Whops forgot to say Chrome set to desktop mode

Go to "Settings" and then scroll down to the "Advanced" section where and tap on "Homepage" to set whatever you want as your home page.

I can set homepage, but if I leave that page overnight, with no activity on my part, it defaults to a new table.

What page are you trying to use? Maybe it's one that expires?

How can my homepage expire, and change to Google page?

Some sites refresh or log you out after a certain amount of time. But, it wouldn't change to Google. Maybe you're not setting it correctly? Can you screenshot your setting (you can cross/blur the URL if necessary)?

My homepage is set about:blank. Any new tabs goes to Google. Com with bookmarks on that page.

You have Google set as your search engine, so that's why it is on the new tab page (which is not Google dot com). If you change your search engine, you'll have just the bookmarks and news on the new tabs. You also can just tap the homepage button to get to your homepage. If you turn homepage off, you'll get the new tab page in your first tab instead. It is chrome-native://newtab/ .

Interesting. My goal is still to have all tabs default to my homepage.

[Q] On demand pop-up browser?

I like the idea of the pop up browser, but would only use from time to time. For apps asking how to open up a link, I tell them to open using my default browser always because that's how I want to view most of the time.
Is there a way to call up the pop up browser on demand from links? I'm thinking if I could long tap a link or double tap a link, it could open the link in the pop up browser. Keep in mind the source of the link could be any app, another browser, G+, Facebook, etc.
I know there is a mod to launch a stand alone popup browser, but I don't think that solves what I am asking about.
The developers of Air Calc have had a floating browser for a long time. They are currently making it available for 4.0+ android devices, i believe. I tried to download it to my Note 2 but it is not yet available.

...or at least offer "open link in popup browser" as a choice...that would have been the right way to implement this, because heck if I'm going to leave the defaults off so that 99.99999% of the time when I click a link destined for a full browser I then have to select "Browser" and then press "Just Once" all to open a simple web page. At the very least they could have put in a checkbox in the app selector box that would select the tapped browser in "Just Once" mode the moment you tap, so you don't have to confirm each time.
Sorry, I don't have a solution, I'm just completely echoing your sentiment about this.
I have a bookmark on the home screen that is defaulted to the pop up browser.
It is the only way I know to get the pop up browser on demand.
I press and hold link, copy url, press home button, hit my bookmark (I renamed pop up), then paste the url.
Hope this helps.
You can set the pop-up browser as default and hit the button on the top left to open the page up in the regular explorer.
Only problem is that this will open the stock browser. Which is frustrating if you usually use a third party browser like me!
Does anybody know how to make the top left button in the pop-up browser open Chrome rather than the stock browse?
That would be nice because I have all my data synced to Chrome.

Mine automatically opens in chrome when I click the top left button without setting anything up, I checked and there are no defaults set for either.

How did you accomplish this? Is there a pop up settings menu to set your default browser?
For everyone, floating browser flux in the play store might be an option.

[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.

[Q] Is it possible to reset Google fit data back to zero?

How to reset all heath data in the watch and start from beginning, just like when you unboxed the watch?
Thanks for any tips
Yes, On your computer go to the google fit web page https://fit.google.com/ and click on the settings icon in the upper right, go to settings page and scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on "delete history"
In the app, you can click on the settings link in the upper right of your screen and scroll all the way down to "delete history"

Disable new screen to get added on each app nstall for shortcut

Hi there
Whenever I install an app a new page gets created and the shortcut for app goes on that page, even though the three pages/screens already have a lot of space left.
Is there a setting somewhere which would stop adding the shortcut after creating a new screen.
Launcher and all settings are factory based with original Samsung firmware.
Thank you for your time.
Go to home settings and untick "Add apps to home screen". That way whenever you install a new app, no shortcut is created. If you still want to have a shortcut made but limited to adding to current screens instead of creating a new page, I have no idea on that.

I know how to disable, what I'm looking for is how to get shortcuts on current page.

Having issues setting default app

Just got the phone a few days ago, very happy with it so far. However, I'm having issues setting default app for reddit (tried both RIF and Boost). Attempting to open a reddit.com link from a Google search and then tapping on "Set to Always Open" does nothing. It sends me to the "Open by default" setting page and all I see there is "No defaults set." It's fine if I set Chrome or Firefox as the default app, but I think the problem is that opening the reddit.com link isn't being recognized as a reddit link, but a google.com link.
Anyone experienced anything similar?
Ditto

I see the same thing too. Not just with Reddit but other things too where I try to set a default and it just doesn't get saved/accepted by the phone .
It took me forever to set up Nova as my launcher
Go to apps, then his the 3 for menu and select default apps. All changes must be done here , Nova would not stick when selecting from the Nova menu. See if that works
Awesome...

Awesome, that's what you are sir. Another annoying thing hopefully you have the solution for, the Notifications... Instead of the temperature, it shows the app icon so goes for the other apps such as instead of email nos. , it shows app icons, I mean what the bloody hell? Their hardware engineers managed to put a fan inside the damn thing but their ****ty software department sucks donkey balls. Any solution for that?
