How do you get forum emails to open App on Note8 - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

On my note 4 when I click on s link it opens XDA Spp, on note8 it only opens in browser. Have I missed a setting somewhere?

I believe it may have to do with which xda app you are using.
case in point, I must have installed the XDA Premium HD (also known as the XDA Legacy app) by mistake. Every time I click on an notification email from xda, it opens up my browser and not the xda app.
It seems that the older app does not take into account deep linking urls so the system thinks you want to view the link in a browser.
Proof of this is the app is not listed in the "Set as Default" settings page.
So go to Settings, Apps, clicking on the 3 dot menu, Default apps, Set as Default and the "Set as Default" page appears.
The Open links in apps button should be enabled.
If you installed th wrong xda app like the XDA Legacy app (XDA Premium), it will not show up on that list, but if you install the regular XDA (with ads) or the XDA Labs app (no ads), they will appear on that list.
Then and only then, when you click on a link pointing to xda, the popup will appear asking you to open the link in xda or your browser. So long as you are using the recent app and not the legacy older one.
Hope this helps.

Was using right app but didn't get popup, went in to app setting and changed url open from "always ask" to "in this app" now working thanks.

[Q] How do I disable Google search?

When I open the browser, a Google search page is displayed instead of the specified home page (about:blank). How can I keep the browser from going to Google search?
I'm using the standard browser with Serendipity 6.3.
I get the same results when I use Firefox Mobile 4.0 browser.
From Google home page, go to menu/more/settings/set homepage. Put your desired hompage url in there.

That's exactly what I did without success. As I posted, the homepage is set to about:blank.
Hmmm...maybe try reset to default and try again?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
No change. I even rebooted. The home screen setting shows about:blank but the browser still goes to Google.
I'm on Serendipity 6.3 too. Just changed my homepage url successfully...but had to close the browser in task manager for the new url to "take." You may have some other issue.

I tried that as well. No joy. Oh well, I'll keep digging. Thanks for your suggestions.

I'm going to use chronicaust's directions for the download booster, except I changed the download booster to the mobile hotspot, since the directions for the shortcut are nearly identical.
TO GET THE QUICKSETTINGS TILE: ROOT ACCESS IS REQUIRED.
1. Download SQlite editor version 2.1. It's 2.99 in the playstore, unless you obtain it free from somewhere else.
2. In apps, find settings storage > settings.db > system
3. Search for notification
4. Choose Notification_Panel_Active_App_List (there are a few VERY similar ones, make sure its the right one.
5. Add WiFiHotspot; Make sure you don't forget that semicolon.
6. Reboot
Mine was a little buggy, so I deleted the shortcut.
Thanks for the response. I ended up using Power toggles app.
Add widget to home screen.
Modify widget by clicking add.
Add WiFi hotspot item.
Click done in upper left corner.

I changed build.prop:
ro.product.name=kltexx
ro.product.device=klte
The last tile on the becomes "Wi-Fi hotspot" (next to Toolbox).
The pull down also changed: now it has "S Finder" and "Quick Connect". 4G LTE icon also changed to 4G and 4G changed to H+.
Then for some reason, even I remove AT&T's Mobile Hotspot app by Titanium Backup Pro, after a factory reset the icon comes back in Apps, without AT&T's provision though.

android killing processes?

so with lollipop I think android is killing processes automatically. before when I hit home the app stayed either frozen in time or doing its thing. now when I hit home if I stay away from an app too long when I go back into it it has to load from scratch... why does this happen and how do I stop it?

Am I the only one with this problem? No-one has an answer?
Sent from my One M8 using XDA Free mobile app
I would double check under the developer options that "Don't keep tasks active" box isn't checked and that the "Background task limit" is set to standard.
Settings -> Developer options -> Advanced. Look at the very bottom of the list under the "Apps" heading.

Links don't open

I was wondering if anyone has an issue where links don't open. As in clicking on directions in yelp doesn't open google maps or Waze.
Nor do click on apps from the Notifaction bar either.
I probably did something and don't remember.

I haven't had any issues clicking on links from Chrome Canary or,from apps such as XDA Labs/AndroidPolice/Droid Life & even the Wells Fargo app (from Amazon AppStore).
Might need to check permissions,I haven't got the usual prompts on everything,been hit or miss.

I had to set the app as a default for it to open instead of being able to choose which app I want to open
