Maybe there is a bug in android that is driving me crazy. Let me explain:
I created a page as part of a site I'm working on (http://parishes.rcda.org:81/allSaints_New) and it is displaying fine on the desktop. I am able to resize the browser window horizontally and everything positions properly. On the mobile browser in android, it is only occupying the left 3rd of the window with a horizontal scrollbar. The phone is a Samsung Galaxy S10 running the chrome browser. The phone has all the latest updates.
I'm using Dreamweaver and created a new page. I called it AboutUs2.php. I copied the page contents from AboutUS.php to AboutUs2.php. I then uploaded it to my windows web server and it looked fine. I then renamed it AboutUs.php in order to replace the page that is not working properly. After uploading it, it now wants to display in the left 3rd of the screen.
I asked a colleague with an iphone to check the page and it works just fine. I did try remote debugging via chrome and the developer tools do not show any issues with the page. I'm wondering if this is maybe a bug in android as another android phone gives me the same results with a horizontal scrollbar.
any ideas what is causing this?
I am developing an app where you get a text message with a link in it.
When this said link is clicked normally the app opens (Huawei p9 lite, htc one m8) but when I try to test this on a galaxy s6/s7 the standard messaging app opens up the in-app browser.
Is there a workaround for this ?
Edit: example url: http://smsvalidation.example.com/en/123456789
I also experienced this issue on s6 edge and s7 as well as the note series.
Here is what you could try:
Use custom url scheme like myapp://xyz
Redirect the user when the web page is loaded (not tested)
Open an iframe with the url when the web page is loaded (not tested)
Tinker with android chrome intents
I'm working with a special image format and was creating something to dynamically generate it. I went to try it in mobile Chrome (it isn't displayable in the browser but it could be downloaded) and suddenly it opened about fifty new tabs! I fought with my browser to close them all but it just kept creating more.

There are no redirects, no scripts. It's an image.
Any clue as to why this is happening? Have I discovered a Chrome bug?
Google Chrome 39.0.2171.93 (Official Build)
Revision bec62c44cbc7da9f6a507873382ebc111d66e9d7-refs/branch-heads/2171#{#449}
OS Android 4.4.2; XT1031 Build/KXB20.9-1.10-2.27
Steps to reproduce: Tested on Android Kit Kat, with the only installed browser being Google Chrome.
Open Chrome and go to the above link.
I figured it out a while ago.
To make it short, mobile Chrome didn't know how to handle the file, as it had a text/HTML content type but wasn't parsable as text or HTML. It got passed to the Android Content Provider, (that bit which gives you options between which apps you can use to open something), which immediately returned it to Chrome, as it's the only browser on my phone, opening it in a new tab. This looped over and over, quickly causing my phone to slow down and crash.
I'm using Google Chrome v35.0.1916.114 and followed the steps to enable remote debugging on my Samsung Trend Plus GT-S7580 which runs Chrome v35.0.1916.122.
I can effectively view the opened tabs, close them and all, but inspecting a tab gives me a blank console.
Any reason why it doesn't work?
I have faced same problem. In my case I have found that version of chrome browser on windows system was 44.x but on android mobile device has 54.x. I just updated my windows chrome. And everything started working fine.
Remote debugging with Chrome downloads files from https://chrome-devtools-frontend.appspot.com.
Test your connection: Try to open https://chrome-devtools-frontend.appspot.com
If it doesn't work, that's why you're getting an empty window.
In this case, maybe you need a VPN.
I had the crasiest workaround:
Press CTRL+SHIFT+I, which opens a new developer tool for the developer tool.
Go to console and run: window.location.reload()
This reloads the first developer window and attaches to the original process.
Check with desktop chrome
1) Goto help => About Google Chrome
Check with version number
Check with Mobile Chrome go to Help & feedback
1) right side option => version info
Check with version number
If both are same ... Remote device debugging will work
Try using chrome Version 37.0.2041.4 canary or latest on your computer. I just had the same issue with the version you have but installed the latest canary and got it working. Hope that helps.
I have the problem even with Chrome 46, here is my workaround...
On the blank/empty Dev Tools window press 'Ctr+Shift+i'. This opens a 2nd Dev Tools window.
You will see an error in the console “Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'addExtensions'” and on the right one of these 2 links :
A) "VM45:72"
=> bad luck. Close 2nd window and try again.
B) "(program):72"
=> that’s it. click on the link "(program):72" and the 1st debug window will work again !
It may take one to 10 times before the "(program):72" appears
open chrome://appcache-internals/ and clear the manifest cache , then reload the resource
No cross browsing !
Jumping in quite late here, just had a similar issue. Turns out, in my case, I was using Chrome on my computer and Brave on my cellphone. Important to note that Chrome will allow to inspect Chrome!
In my case it was enabled proxy settings
In my case, I can remotely focus and close tabs on the mobile Chrome that were opened directly on the phone. I can also "inspect" those, with a nice screencast on the dev pc.
What does not work is entering a URL on the dev pc and click Open. That new URL is added to the list of tabs on the dev pc, but is not really opened on the phone. The Inspect button on that tab does not show a screencast, or just the blank one that OP asked about.
The solution is to enter the desired URL directly on the phone, then select that tab remotely on the dev pc to get a nice screen cast and debuggin situation.
I have a problem with android WebView.
The following URL loads correctly in system browser, but not in Android emulator browser, Samsung galaxy mobile or lg mobiles.
I need to show the page the same as system browser view in my app.
Please help me to come out of this problem.
Url : This is the link
I can open the URL in Opera for Android.
Have you tried it?
