[MEGATHREAD] How do I turn on "Connect to URL"

[AC Question]

When sent a web address via text message, I cannot connect to it and instead get the message above. However, when I go to 'settings' on my LGG2, there is no option to turn on URL. Can anyone help me to be able to open web pages sent via text?

Welcome to Android Central! Which phone? Open the Messaging app, tap Menu>Settings, and look for an option that lets you choose whether to open links within the app or in a separate browser.

The ability to do this depends on the messaging app you are using. Some have the ability, some do not.

Which phone?
Which version of android?
Which carrier?
Which messaging app?

Re: how do I connect to url?

Welcome to Android Central. That's not a setting. You need to open a browser and, assuming you have either mobile data or wifi, put the URL in the browser window.

Welcome to Android Central.

What phone do you have? Do you have mobile data enabled?

"URL" is not something you can turn on/off.

What is the exact wording of the error message?
Which phone?
Which version of android?
Which carrier?
Which web browser?
Does it happen with both wifi and mobile data?

@levi prescott:
Look in Settings in the messaging app to see if it can be set to connect to a URL. Some can, some can't.

Re: How do I turn on my URL on an LG Vista?

We need a much more verbose description of the problem you are having since URLs are not something that can be turned on/off.

Which phone?
Which version of android?
Which carrier?
Which app are you having problems with?

re: [MEGATHREAD] How do I turn on "Connect to URL"

A URL is the address of a device on a network. I think you're remembering the message incorrectly - the only way to "turn your URL off" is to turn off wifi and mobile data (or turn on airplane mode). If you can get to a website, your URL is "on". It's probably asking you to turn something else on. (A site that asks you to turn your URL on is a site I wouldn't go to - either the site's developer didn't know what he was doing or there's something wrong with the site.)

I keep getting message
Connect to url in settings. Can't figure out where in settings it is. I know its there because I've seen it before.

Re: How do I Connect to url in settings?

You don't - that sounds like either malware or an app "written" by someone who didn't know what he was doing.

You connect to a URL with your browser usually, and sometimes with an app (like the Android Central app connects to the URL of this site).
