Hey
Every time I open a web link the tab s keeps asking me to select which browser I wish to use even when I tell it to remember my selection, it doesn't.
I've installed the chrome samsung app but did nothing.
Seems to do it on both beta and the standard app.
Any ideas?
I think I saw that happen on a new tab s 10.5. If I can remember correctly it only happened when the browser was being launched from specific apps. This is on my sister's tablet which I was showing her how to use so I can't retest, sorry. I only noted the odd interaction because it happened that the browser was the first time that the dialogue with "Always" came up and we chose always for Chrome but it came up a second time and my sister asked why?
A theory is that multiple URL extensions ".html" and ".htm" and a variety of others (e.g. Streaming extensions) may all need to be added to the default app list. That is just a theory.

no as even if I go back to the original web link and click it a second time, its still asking which browser to use and whether I can to set as 'default' or 'use just once'.
After seeing a device on display in a shop, which didnt do this, I determined my device must have been fault so they exchanged it.
However the new one is doing exactly the same...!
Is no one else with a tab s having this issue?
I'm still having this issue.
It is not just chrome browser but any app where different options are available. On my other devices you can select which one to use as default or use an an 'just once'.
I fear my tablet has alzheimers.
Found it woo hoo. ...After 2 hours taking off app by app, it national express UK, anyone else having this problem try removing an app at a time after a factory reset. They've been informed!

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?
For the past few months XDA has started making me login every single time I visit the site. This is the case on multiple computers, including a new one purchased 3 days ago. I've tried various browsers and set every one of them to "remember password". Yet, no matter what computer I'm on or what browser I'm using I have to manually login each time.
I looked in settings and can't find any check box that might resolve this. At this point I don't know what to do and am looking for pointers. Any ideas?
But its working fine for me in Home & office.
Do u have the same issue with other websites?

I do not. All other forums have auto login working just fine. For some reason XDA is the only one that makes me constantly login. Obviously not a huge deal just annoying after a while.

Look at the bottom of the page. What theme is it using. I have this issue as well if I use any theme other then 2010
Works fine for me on Chrome, but not Firefox.
I have the same issue. Using Firefox (currently 20, but the problem was also with a few older versions) on Fedora Linux.
Using cookie manager, I see that the cookie for forum.xda-developers.com named "xdaloggedin" is set to expire In a short time (for example, currently it is set to expire on 2013/04/25:00:18:37.
Same symptoms here. Using Firefox 19. "xdaloggedin" cookie set to expire in 13 minutes, 26 seconds and counting...
Same issue here
Yesterday I was prompted to login to XDA twice. This morning I wasn't. There doesn't seem to be any consistency: yesterday it seems to have forgotten about me within an hour or so, yet it "remembered" me overnight...
Is there a contact we should be reporting this to, rather than mumping about it on a thread?
I'm going to flag an admin as I'm facing the same issue with Firefox
I've tried to recreate this (on Chrome/Firefox) but wasn't able to recreate any problem.
Make sure to check off the "Remember me" - this sets a cookie which should remember you after you close and reopen the browser. Otherwise you may be "logged out" after 15 minutes or when you close the browser, which is the session length.
Are you guys running any plugins that might be impacting this?

I get it as well but only when I use chrome. My default FF never did it unless I was using the new theme layout. As longer as I used one of the older theme's it never happens.

Maybe try deleting all your xda cookies and then logging in again. Could be a case of file corruption.
Chrome 28.0.1500.29 beta-m here.
After deleting browser cache and cookies I haven't been able to auto-login the forum anymore. Moreover I am unable to change the skin (it doesn't happen anything!) and I am unable to hide the menu on the right of the thread.
Thank you!
I am facing auto login even I close my chrome
you settings have some wrong
Hi, after a little time (1-2 hours, i don't know it exactly) that I don't enter in xda-deverlopers.com website it requests me to sign in even if I selected "Remember me" on the login form and i didn't log out. I use Chromium, I tried to wipe my cookies but it's always the same. The only reason I thought is that when I enter with the Android app it closes my existing session. Ideas? Thanks.
I don't get logged out when I use the XDA app, it might be different with newer versions.
Anyway, in Chromium: Settings > Show Advanced Settings > Privacy > Content Settings > "Allow local data to be set" should be checked.
Also check you're not clearing your cookies (either directly or using a 3rd party program).

Nothing of these... :crying:
I block only 3rd-party cookies, but it's only google/youtube stuff. forum.xda-developers.com is allowed.
EDIT: I notice now that 4 cookies (__utmc __bblh __bblogedin and __bbsessionhash) expire when the navigation session is closed.
I have the same problem with Chrome, too.

I'm experiencing the same problem as well. When I close my browser & then try to get back to XDA, I'll have to log in again, and this has been happening for probably about a year now. It's quite frustrating.
Same issue here, started noticing it in the last couple of weeks. I looked at my cookies and see that "xdaloggedin" cookie is set to expire in 15 min by default, regardless if Remember Me is checked.
Using the latest stable version of Chrome.
It seems a Chrome/Chromium-related bug. My laptop with Opera successfully keep me logged in after 1 day.

yup same problem here on chrome
gotta add my 2 cents:
i'm on PaleMoon (FF source) and i have to log in every time i open the forum in the browser :/
any solution for this frustrating bug?
I also have this problem, but...
Every time I start Chrome or idle for some time and visit the forum index (http://forum.xda-developers.com/), it appears that I am not logged in. If I click "Forget password", it will go to the "Forget password" page, but then on the top-right corner it says I am logged in. After that if I go back to the index page (http://forum.xda-developers.com/index.php) or whatever page, it will continue to say that I am logged in.
But then if I go back to http://forum.xda-developers.com/, it says I am not logged in, not until I do a complete refresh (Ctrl + F5) then it says I am logged in again.
It is even stranger that if I go to http://forum.xda-developers.com/ and press Ctrl + F5 before clicking on the "Forget password" link, it will continue to show that I am not logged in.
* Note the subtle differences in links
Ya the same problem happens on my chrome I have to login every time even though I click remember me...

Same thing happens to me in Chrome, but it seems fine in IE. I think I'd rather carry on logging in than use IE though...

I just started having this problem in Chrome, too. I agree, I'd rather log in constantly than switch to IE.
Though, I have to say, Chrome is becoming somewhat unreliable. Just yesterday, Chrome froze when ebay tried connecting me to paypal to pay for a purchase. IE handled the same interaction just fine. That should always be the low end of your bookmark: "Do better than IE."
...same for me but as soon as I click on any room then it recognize me as logged-in AND
after 20 seconds
--- if I click back on my XDA favorites shortcut it keeps me logged-in
---- if I click on the forum home-page icon it recognize me as logged-in
I've been having this issue since I started using the forums, and I use Firefox exclusively, so it can't be a Chrome-only issue.
i get logged off only if i check forums via xda android app (which is terribly slow after last update). ohhh i use firefox
Hey guys, try clearing your cache in the browser you're experiencing the issue. I've had this problem as well, but seemed to be resolved after clearing cache/cookies.

I've had this issue on both Firefox and Chrome for a long, long time. I've never understood why my login is not persistent but have just lived with it... 'til now.
I'll try the above fix and see what that does for me.
I'm new to this forum as I recently purchased a T-Mobile S4.I have Googled and searched like crazy and I can't find an answer to this problem.
When I encounter a link, or anything else that brings up the Application Selection dialog, I pick out the application that I would like to use as the default, and then select "always". Android responds with a message about how to clear my selection later on... But it doesn't remember the selection. If I pick another link, I have to go through it all again.
I've cleared all defaults, checked the one I'm trying, used the default app picker, tried the Xposed Xposed framework... I'm out of ideas. I really want to set up my apps and move on.
I'm not a noob to Android. The phone is rooted, but on a stock room. TWRP is installed.
Any ideas?

It's Samsung, not Android. THis has been an issue for me with the S4, S5, Note 3 and Note Pro 12. Might have been with the S3 but I don't remember. They're screwing up the expected Android behavior, likely to annoy people into using the apps they want us to use.

I can't say I've ever experienced problems with my preferences sticking; Samsung apps or not...
I have this exact problem on my rooted, unlocked S4, running the latest KitKat update (4.4.2). It only seems to be happening with the phone diling action, though. For all other actions, once I pick the default app, it sticks, but clicking on a phone number link always brings up the default selection prompt, even though I've already selected the stock Phone app a zillion times already.The stock Phone app comes pre-selected in the window, which means that it does recognize the previous selections somehow (and also, in Application Manager, I can see that it is selected as the default "for some actions"), and yet, I still get prompted EVERY TIME. The only way to get rid of the prompt is to uninstall every single app that is capable of handling the dialing action (Skype, Zoiper, Avast, Lookout, etc.), and ONLY then does the Phone app get launched by default.
This is beyond annoying, considering that dialing from phone number links in various apps is just about the most frequent action I use.
If anyone has any idea how to fix this problem, I'd be very grateful.
Is anyone having issues with some apps getting pushed back to defaults.
Examples of this is when using Samsung browser(which is stock) every few days my home page reverts back to google as my home page
I also use Verizon's messenger, I set a back ground and change the text bubble colors and shapes and a few days later they revert back to default, it's driving me crazy. I exchanged my phone due to a faulty charging port and this is happening again on this one. Please notice if this is happening to you, I thinking it's an OS issue but it's really hard to tell. Thanks for any input into this issue.
So this happened to me on 2 different A50 phone, you telling me this is not happening to anyone else ?
well what can I say but, keep an eye on your Samsung browser home page if you don't use the google.com default. I'm sure it's not only me this is happening to

This was happening on android 9, now I got the android 10 update and the same thing happens on android 10. I use the Samsung browser and every other day my home page default changes back to Google. Com, this has been happening since the first day i used the phone. Is this happening to anyone else. I am gonna try using firefox to see if this still happens. Let me know if you are experiencing this. Thanks
Just use firefox or chrome

have you updated the apps?
I received the android 10 update, updated all apps. I am on the stock android 10 there should be no reason my Samsung browser should change my custom homepage back to Google default every 2 days or so.. There should be no reason to use chrome or firefox, i am using the default browser. This is the second A50 I have owned since September and they both did the same thing. I have a Samsung tablet also without this issue. So what's causing it any ideas? This is just Google embedding itself into every facet of our lives, Google, facebook, Twitter it's slowly taking over everything including sensoring everything that don't meet their political agenda... think about it. Social media is ruining our country. Thanks for your replies.
