How to restore defaults

Hi,
I know this may sound a slightly noob question but I wouldn't be asking if there was an obvious solution.
You know when using the built in browser on Facebook and say there is a YouTube video your friend has posted and you click to veiw it. When you click it up pops an option of how to veiw it in your browser, in youtube or whatever other browser and also an option to keep it as a default.
My question is once you have selected to keep as default how do you revert back so that you have the option to how the video is launched?

You can try this:
Settings-Applications-Manage applications-tab All ( second one on top)-find Youtube (it is last or from the last ones)-tab onto "Clear data" or "Clear cache"
Hope this helps.
Regards.

you have to press "clear defaults"

Tried clearing data and cache for both YouTube and browser videos still open in the 'always open with' there must be a restore so you have various options.

You were right just done it. Had to 'clear defaults' in Manage Apps for Internet. Many thanks that was driving me round the bend as I couldn't find a way to do it before

Deleting stock browser's default bookmarks?

One of the reasons I rooted my phone was so I can delete my stock browser's default bookmarks. But unfortunately it won't still allow me to delete 'em. Is there a way to delete them?
TIA!

In the market there is an app named MyBookmarks. This will give you the ability to delete the pre loaded bookmarks.

You don't need any apps from the market to delete those bookmarks. Just go to applications - browser - clear data. Open your browser and go to bookmarks. Long press on bookmark and choose delete. I learned this a few months ago, very useful. Hope this helps you.

This worked! Thanks!

Awesome tip!
You've known this for months and you didn't tell ME? LOL!
Great tip, it works!!! I hated those damn things.
However I'm easily confused LOL...... so to clarify.....
Settings > Application manager > All > Internet > Clear Data
Then go to the bookmark page and long press and delete! Yay!
This is gonna clear your favorites and homepage, a small price to pay.

Has to root the phone?

Just got the SGS3 (which by the way is the GREATEST PHONE EVER MADE!!! If God or Allah or Buda or whatever higher up, power that be owned a phone... It would be this one. LOL) OK, back on track now. So I'm coming from an HTC phone and I have a TON of bookmarks stored on my browser that I want to transfer over to my new phone. My question is, where can I find my browsers bookmarks using file explorer so that I can zip it up in a file to send to my phones browser? Or is there a better, easier way to do this??
Please help

Go to settings, application manager and click on Google Play store. I would clear data and clear cache. You can also try unistalling updates. Hipe that works for you. Good luck

I was having a similar problem with the play store on my new gs3, except it kept telling me to "enable background data" when it and sync was already on...all I did to fix it was delete the google acct from the phone and sign back in, and it works fine now. Hope this solves ur issue, cuz I just cringe when I hear or read someone saying "hard reset"

Had same exact error
I had this happen when I did second clean install of the MIUI/CM10 rom. I had accidentally uninstalled some needed system apps when setting up my first MIUI clean install and instead of repairing the issue, I just reflashed the rom again. On this second flashing, I had your exact error. Same error code and everything. I didn't try long to fix the issue and just reflashed clean again. Third time everything worked as it should. I would like to think there was a simpler fix, but just letting you know my experience.
Oh, and btw, I did stumble across a few threads that mentioned enabling downloads app if you disabled it. Sometimes it gets disabled for whatever reason in the middle of an update or download and will not allow your phone to download anything new until the queue is complete and the notification occurs.
Good luck

[Q] Delete all content without removing root

Hi All,
I'm not sure if this can be done, but my girlfriend is in need of a new phone and I've just upgraded to the One. My One X is hers for the taking, so I want to remove all the data and accounts, but not factory reset to remove the root.
What are my options for deleting content without a factory reset - I've not needed to do it before, so I have no idea - other than removing each thing individually, then mass deleting apps etc.. Seems a long-winded way of doing it.
Anyone any ideas?

Use Titanium Backup to clear your data of all the apps... Use app uninstaller from the GO team that removes all apps quickly... Delete the accounts in the settings menu...

It's the same thing as uninstalling from "settings>apps"... :silly:
@ OP
Factory reset, flash supersu... done!
That's the easiest and fastest way! :good:

He has explicitly said NO FACTORY RESET... and the reason why I suggested the application is because you don't have to select the uninstall option each time if you're rooted...

Your response was what I thought might be the case. It's more that, because she's going to be transferring her stuff over from her current phone, I didn't want to leave anything on that would get mixed up or confuse any of the settings if I forgot to remove any. I'd hoped there may be a way to just clear all content (with one lazy-button!), without factory reset.
Don't want to factory reset and flash, as I have a new laptop without all the root stuff - can't be bothered to go through it all for the sake of taking off bloat etc (all my gf will be interested in)
Thanks for the responses - much obliged.

If you have surfed unscrupulous sites i.e porn etc. You don't have to be so extreme, you can clear cache and history.:laugh: If your ultra paranoid do a factory reset from either boot loader or in your settings then apply root.

What about using your browsers settings? In Dolphin v10.0.3 in settings there is a option to make it your default browser.

All android pretty much allows you to choose your default browser shortly after installing a second browser. In my case, I have the stock browser, and I have Next Browser (which IMHO is the best in the business right now). After installing Next Browser, when I try to open a website from another app (lets say from tapatalk when perusing the forums), it will ask me which app to use to open the webpage. Select Always, then click on the browser you want to use for this.
If you have no use for the stock browser, use titanium backup, select backup and restore, long press on the Browser app, then select uninstall. It will ask you twice if you really want to do it. I've never had any issue with uninstalling it, so give it a shot.
Good Luck

If you want to use both, go into settings, apps, then select the browser app, clear data and that should grey out the "clear defaults" button as well. If it doesn't, then tap "clear defaults" as well. This should reset which browser is default for you. Then you can set the default browser the next time you open a webpage from an app. You can also use two different browsers if you want one to be a "default" (a.k.a. your browser of choice, mine being the Next Browser) and keeping the stock Web Browser for whatever you decide (personally, I don't like it at all.)
