Go into manage applications and go to the phone / dialer app. There will be a "Clear defaults" option. Next time you press teh icon, you should have that prompt again.

Does anyone know if there a way to change the mail application on the lock screen to Handcent? The only time I use the default app is to send MMS because Handcent wont send them for some odd reason.
I have already tried the 'Replace default maill application' setting in Handcent and it doesnt do anything that I can see.
Press menu > personalize > lock screen, scroll over to the one you're using so its selected, press settings, then you should be able to long press the sms app, then change it.

Interesting, I rarely use it, but when I did, it popped up in about five seconds.
I´ve installed another keyboard that I´ve been using in my smartphones for a long time but I cannot find the option to set it as default on the Language & Keyboard settings. On my other phones this was pretty straight forward. How can I do this on the HTC ONE X?
When you're on sms app for e.g. you will see a keyboard icon on the status bar, pull down the notification, you can set the default keyboard.
Thanks. It works.
It´s not very intuitive though as it simply tells you to select an input mode, not to set it as default.
Which ever you select will be the default.
"Select Home" dialogue keeps popping up very frequently when I'm pressing the home button even though I've selected Home as default.
Anyone knows what causes this or how I can remove EasyHome?
I had the same problem when I had a widget for Smart Calendar Pro on my home screen. I've reported it to the makers of the app

I was having this issue too and the culprit was the Hotmail app... It's a bug in the Android system if any app has a language call Mata data (or something like that) it will forget your default settings of your home launcher.
I remove the Hotmail app and haven't had a problem ever since. If it wasn't for Nova launcher telling me which app was causing it, I would have probably returned my perfectly good running device.
If you don't have the Hotmail app installed, I recommend you use nova launcher and let it alert you which app is causing the issue. Uninstall that app reboot your phone and you should be good to go and then remove nova launcher if you so choose to.
Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I installed Nova Launcher (used it earlier but decided to give the default launcher a go for this new phone), but didn't really see where it could tell me what the culprit was.
Anyways, I managed to reproduce it pretty effectively.
Long press home button
Opens up Google Now
Short press home button
Select Home dialogue appears
I had the Google Home widget on my main home screen, removed that now.
Looks like the dialogue does not appear anymore, guess I'll know by the end of the day.

Found it under Nova Settings:
The 'Netcom Apps' may cause your selection for the default launcher to be reset frequently

removed it by uninstalling "Apps" application that appeared with 10j.

I get the same thing.....had my phone rest twice. Didn't work. They sent me a new phone and not it does same thing. Love the phone except for this problem. THeir tech support sucks & all they say is send phone in with no loner for 7-9 days!! THey need to send a fix out in an update!!
Thank you so much shook187 for your suggestion. It worked for my LG G4.
1. I've installed the Nova launcher.
2. Then tried to press the home button number of times choosing the Nova Launcher.
3. Next I clicked on the Nova Launcher home screen and kept my finger until the setting wheel appeared.
4. I clicked on the setting and at the top was displayed notification ' Fix it app causing a problem'.
5. I clicked on the notification and selected uninstall.
Hi guys,
One of the features i like about ASUS phones is the ability to control apps through the app Mobile manger but the problem with it is that it takes a while to know how to use it. So what ends up happening is that a lot of your apps notifications gets delayed or never show up or your apps are killed when your phone screen turns off or your VPN is killed when you clear it from the recent apps menu.
Solution:
Open the Mobile Manager app:
-Head to Memory Cleaner section
-Go to "Super Clean mode is turned on" Setup - click it
here you can turn off the option for all apps or deselect the apps you don't want to be killed when you clear the apps from the recent menu, once the app is deselected from the App list it will appear under the headline "Standard Clean the following apps".
-Next after deselecting the apps go back to the PowerMaster section in Mobile Manger/ then Auto-start manger /
Here make sure that All apps button is turned green then under the section "Allowed" make sure to select the apps you want to auto start so that you can receive their notifications. Deselect the apps you don't want to auto start.
-Finally go to the settings page /under Battery section / detect battery-draining apps:
unselect "Detect & stop" button.
-Go back to: Battery optimization section:
make all the social apps and apps you want to receive their notifications on time turned to : "Not optimized".
After this your apps shouldn't be killed even after you clear them from the recent menu, and you will receive your notifications on time.
Good Luck
Apparently it's not working for Spotify

Are you sure you followed the steps stated. Personally i don't use Spotify so i am not sure if it works or not. So far I have no issues with apps I want to receive notifications from and ones I don't want to receive. If nothing works try to disable super clean mode and auto start apps and make sure battery optimization is not on for Spotify.
Really helpful post. I once tried to figure out the way to receive email notification and this just works. Thank you
thanks a lot buddy! i was having notification issues for some of the apps and its solved now! I had done most of the changes already but the Super clean mode was still on and causing issues. All good now.

Its not an app. Go to Settings > Advanced and you will see Mobile Manager as the first option under Assistive Tools.

I was having the same issue, first make sure floating notifications, and bubbles is enabled in the advanced notifications menu. Then back in the notifications menu under recently sent, click more to see your apps. Select app you want, and select show as bubble, select All. This worked for me. I also reset my phone setting before this. I dont know if it helped. Was kind of annoying to figure out but mine works now. Remember not all apps are supported. Good luck
long press the app -> press the i button -> notifications -> show as bubbles -> select "all"
