I purchased my Motorola Xoom with Honeycomb 3.2.2 already installed. This is the new 4G model (not the 3G that can be upgraded to 4G). Everything use to work fine but now I am experiencing problems where clicking items do not automatically open the associated app. This is not limited to the email/web browser although that also doesn't work. Again, everything use to work. I have not gone through any system updates. To clarify, its when I click an item in one app that should open another app. For instance, clicking a link in your email should open your browser. Clicking a video in your gallery should open the video player. If you have more then one app installed that handles this, it should dim your screen and show a pop up window asking which app you would like to handle the request. For browsing, I have both the stock browser and Dolphin browser. When I click a link in my email, it dims the screen as if it is going to ask me which browser I would like it to use, but doesn't show a pop up window with the options. It just sits there with a dimmed screen.
For videos, I have MX video player installed. I don't know much about the Honeycomb OS so I have no clue what the stock video player is, if it even has one...as I'm sure it does, but have not yet been able to find it (I found two video apps that came preinstalled, one called video and the other called movie studio. Neither of them will play any of my video files but this is a different topic.) Because I could not figure out if or how to use the stock video player, I installed MX video player (I love that player on my Samsung Fascinate Froyo 2.2.2). Now when I click a video file in my gallery, it should either open up a video player or dim the screen to show a window offering my choices of apps. It dims the screen, but no window pops up. If I manually open MX player and browse to my video file, it plays just fine. If I manually open up the stock Video app (assuming this is the stock video player) I can click the video file but it just dims the screen as if its going to offer me a choice of apps to open with but never shows any window with choices nor does it play the video file.
I have this problem with other things as well but these two are the most notable. Nothing force closes when this happens. Simply clicking on the screen again goes back to full brightness and allows me to use what ever app I was in again. I do not have "unknown sources" checked but I have tried clicking links with it checked and unchecked. It does not make a difference to the outcome. I have also tried uninstalling MX video player thinking perhaps Honeycomb was having an issue with pulling up non-stock apps as an option but this did not change anything either. I will try uninstalling Dolphin and see if the links in my gmail work and post the outcome. I hope this info is detailed and accurate enough to answer any questions anyone might have but feel free to ask any questions you do have. Obviously, I have not been able to figure out what is causing this type of behavior yet.
EDIT: I've also tried rebooting both ways and it changes nothing. (Both normal shut down and holding volume up with power button for soft reset)
Thanks in advance.
