[Q] Default Action Keeps Resetting and won't stick?

Hello Everyone,
As you know, when you have multiple apps that can fulfill the same function Android asks you to choose one as the default. My problem is, if I choose one other than the built in Android app (like "Browser") it will lose it's setting after reboot. I've tried searching the forums for a solution but most of the threads deal with how to clear the default app setting and don't deal with how to make the default app settings permanently stick. I've tried apps like "Default App Manager" but after reboot it still resets. Can anyone suggest a solution to this issue? Thanks.

are you checking the checkbox on the bottom that says "Remember my Decision" (well something like that) when asked which action to do? you gotta check that dude..

Yes, I have been doing that! That of course was the first thing that I did: Check the box to remember and than click on the app. That's why I find this behavior so strange. I notice this was happening on both the R800a build that came with the phone, and the new .368 rom that I just loaded. Note that I also made it a point to keep these programs on the phone memory rather than the SD card, but it still makes no difference.

Same problem here...

at least don't nag.. was just trying to help

Sorry, to sound like I was nagging on you. I just assumed the obvious but I should have clarified that in my original post.

Try using different alternative apps. Like opera or dolphin for browser

Hi Cat,
That's what I'm doing, but the problem is when an app requires the browser to be opened it will ask for me to choose an app. I check the box at the bottom and then click on Opera. This will be remembered by android as long as I don't reboot the phone. The minute I reboot the phone it will forget what I set and ask me to choose a default app again. This is quite annoying.

Did you edit your build. Prop?
Deleted any system apps?

I only froze things like facebook etc. and have the problem of reconfirming default actions again and again. Someone suggested to make Sure replacement microsd should have same volume name like PHONE CARD or whatever original was. I,m not at my pc so cannot check if that fixes it. Hope it helps

Sometimes if you are getting Force-Closes, the system will reset the "Default" action for that intent if the intent failed with a force close of an app. Are you getting many FCs?
*shrugs* Past that, not sure what would be causing it. Maybe another app?

random "sending" message

Every so often I get a small message box appear stating "sending". This appears over whatever app I'm currently in.
Haven't sent a text for hours ..... and I can't see any SMS output in the stock messaging.
I'm on bigxie ROM with Franco kernal if that makes any difference ......
Thoughts? Have I got some malware???

Maybe try looking in "Data Usage" under Settings (make you go into the menu and choose "Show Wi-Fi Usage" if you're using wireless) and see if there's an odd app showing up? It must be some app you have installed, I wouldn't immediately think malware though. Are you using stock kernel/rom?

Those used to be called Toast notifications but i think they changed the name of them. They may not be coming from the messaging app. They could be coming from anywhere.

Cheers for the replies ...... just hoping it isn't something sending premium rate texts!!!

bump ....
im still getting these occasionally.
Its definitely nothing 'premium rate' SMS type issue ....
any thoughts as to how i could find out what app is causing these ? its often when i have a browser open - but this could be stock, dolphin or even Opera.
Its just a message box appears saying "sending" ... hangs for a couple of seconds and then disappears ....
Still on Bigxie with Franco but on much newer versions.

Weird man, nothing I have seen on a stock gn.
You should search the forums for an app that will log what apps display toast messages

Blimey there are a lot of devs who have used Toast in their App name .....
Anyone got any suggestions for an App that would log what is Toasting me ??

I think I narrowed out to chrome beta just by trial and error

[Q] sending text messages Problem !!!!

I am having a issue that started today for some reason. When I try to send a text message or any kind of message for that matter from the messaging program that comes on the phone....the message just sits there and say sending..... underneath what you are trying to send. So that tells me its hanging and net getting out. I can receive message with no problems. Can anyone direct me of what to do to correct it ? I have made sure all my settings in Network settings are the way they are suppose to be like they have been all along. Any help or directions or ideas would be so great. Thanks for your time.

more details.. on stock?
silly question but you'll be surprised... have you tried rebooting?
wipe caches?
fix permissions?
3rd party messenger?

yeah I have went over all that. I have checked all the messaging settings/permissions. I have rebooted a number of times. I have cleaned out all cache that I can...even with deep cleaner apps from the market. I even tried to install and use the handcent messaging app from the market and I get the same results. I try to send a text and the message notifier just sits there and spins because it is not going through. Again though, I can receive messages. this is really beginning to upset me.

My phone is sickly much quicker and system storage and my main gig drive space increased because this new rom requires less space to install. Check it out. awesome !!!!! Look for the video on youtube..search these keywords.....Tuesday ROM for T-mobile Galaxy S2! [SGH-T989]

[Q] Messages app working too slow!!

PLEASE HELP! My messages app is working soo slowly! when I open a conversation, it says 'Loading' and after about 5 mins, the conversation opens up. It's so slow! Why? Is it because I have all the messages stored in my phone memory? or is it something else? How to make it fast?

yeah same problem here. Weird. Thinking its all the past messages. Guess you have to delete the conversation every once and awhile. Oh well.

Hi, I have the same problems . Your phone is repaired. Replacing the motherboard. After 10 days the problem is back. Yesterday I made a factory reset, 2 minutes today I opened SMS. I reported this problem HTC and they know nothing about.
Sorry for bad English.

Go to app info of messages, from there select clear data. It will probably solve the problem....or do a factory reset..

After much frustration with the slowness of the message app, I tried this and it worked very well so far:
From within message app, select Menu...Settings...General... and uncheck the first three (all three) options under "Recipient list settings."
I guess that limits your search options from within the app. For me I probably don't use that function anyway, and even if I did I would trade it for a quicker app. To me, text messaging is worthless if it is not quick, otherwise I would just call or email.

Skype doesn't log in/gives error message

I have a Rooted Galaxy S-II. Aside from that it's basically stock. Just removed some of the bloatware.
Up until recently Skype was working just fine on my phone. As of (I think) the most recent update, whenever I start up Skype and try to log in, it gives me an error message to the likes of: "Skype has stopped working - Would you like to sign in again or exit Skype?" with the options to Exit or Sign In. If you pick "Sign In" it just sits there.
I've tried clearing data both through the phone and through Titanium Backup, and I've also tried deleting and reinstalling the app. Nothing is working.
I thought I read somewhere on the internet (not to say that that's a reliable or specific source to say the least) that with the newest update there's an inherent bug with Rooted phones and Skype not working. Don't know if that's accurate but it seems like it might be.
Anyone else seeing this? Have a fix? A workaround?
Thanks!

Happened to me too but I got signed in I just kept exiting and trying again it took about 5 times for me
