default program settings

i keep being asked which app i would like to perform actions - i make a selection & all is fine until the phone is rebooted, then off it goes again.
i've trawled the general system settings looking for a toggle but failed to find anything related to default settings storage.
any help appreciated
my set-up is in my sig.

Probably another program overriding your selections. Try try going to Menu button on your phone and select Settings option, scroll down to the Applications section and tap it. On the next screen, tap Manage Applications and then the All tab on the subsequent screen, scroll down the list of apps until you see the App in question listed and tap that entry. On the next screen look for the "Launch by default" section and hit the Clear defaults button. Reboot and select the default program you want and see if it sticks on the next reboot. Let me know if this helps.

good logical advice, which you would assume would do the trick.
unfortunately, it doesn't fix the problem
i was wondering if there's a file somewhere whch can be edited & locked?

im not 100% sure where those things are saved, maybe in settings.db file of the android settings app.
Check your phones app directory, there should be something like
com.android.providers.settings and com.android.settings
I could imagine that the filepermissions are wrong on certain files and thus your new selection are not saved.

i've searched for hours with no success for a db file. i do believe you are on the right trac but it'll take a smarter mind than my own to highlight where the setting is hiding.
there is a lockscreen toggle option on the redux2 rom, so i've asked over there.
thank you both for your thoughts

Builtin splashtop issues

Well new firmware updated the asus my cloud splash top.
It now allows connection using google from outside your own network.
However, for me it force closes if i try to edit my connection settings and when i connect all i get is a black screen.
Anyone else with this issue?

ya i have the same issue with a FC when i hit the "+" button

look for splashtop in menu> applications > all apps
and clear its data

Still no dice.

I cleared my data and still cannot edit my settings for the way the app displays the desktop of my laptop . When I hit the edit button the app force closes. I can still connect to my laptop but because the default resolution setting on the asus is lower than my laptop it instantly screws up my shortcuts. Too bad. I really enjoyed the convenience of working on my computer from my couch using my transformer. FYI. I went to the market and what used to be free(splashtop) now is $2.99. Could be related.

I had the same problem. Right after the update, I was able to connect with gmail, but had FC when trying to edit connection. I also noticed the password would not save no matter if you had the box checked to remember password. So each time you disconnect, you would have to enter the PW again.
After going to SETTINGS, APPLICATIONS, MANAGE APPLICATIONS --> Splashtop Remote, I clicked on Clear data and force stop. When I reopened the my cloud icon it had me agree to the EULA. Then I set up the connections again. It found them automatically with the gmail and also on the local netowork. I was also able to edit settings. My password automatically saved this time also.
One stupid thing that I noticed was that the hints gestures changed. In order to move the screen around you have to use three finger drag. This was different than before. One finger drag moves the mouse now. Took a while to figure it out, as I assumed the gestures were the same and dismissed the hints box. Now this app runs in the native resolution of the computer I connect to. Other than this little hiccup, I'm liking this app more and more each time it updates. Better than log me in for this device for sure.
Thanks reaperzero!

[Q] IE Page Status Not Saved?

I'm not sure if just I have this issue or it's a known one.
I found that if I press the windows key to go to the home interface and then re-open IE, the web page I was on would be gone and replaced by a "about:blank" page.
If I have multiple tabs open, only the tab I was on before I pressed the windows key would be reset. All the tabs in the background would still have their page cached.
Do you guys have this issue? Is there a way to fix it or it's a bug?
Just got the 1020 last week and it's on Amber.
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Nope, definitely not a feature. Mine will bring up the page you had loaded before. Maybe you have an "About:blank" page pinned to your Home Screen? You could unpin your icon and use the app list to get IE pinned to the start.
Other than that try deleting history etc in IE or maybe tick "Allow websites to use storage".

I figured it out. it was actually because I used Skinery Themes, which somehow caused this issue.

x96 android box - Restricted Profile Help

Hi,
I just purchased an x96 box and was looking through the features when I saw the security feature for setting up a resticted profile. Since I have kids I thought it would be good to set one up, so created my password and then clicked "enter restricted profile". Not only did it restrict the apps that were availible to me, but now in the sttings tab all the buttons are gone (except for network) so I can't change any settings. As well there isn't anything for me to toggle back to normal profile. I basically am stuck in restricted profile and cant change it. When I turn on and off the box it comes back on in regular mode (all the apps), but then 5 seconds in it says "switching to restricted profile" and I cant make any changes to settings.
Anyone who can help would be a lifesaver.
Cheers

Android

I am having the same exact issue. Can you please let me know when you get some resolve
Thanks

I ended up doing a factory reset. Click on the apps button on the home page. Near the bottom is a button that says "backup......". Clicked on that and checked off delete data and delete "something" then hit restore. Good to go.
Hope that helps.

Let sera...

Ok so I got a x96 foolishly done the same thing. Here's how to set it again. While the power is off in the av point on the rear of the box poke a match stick in and there is a button insode. Hold it down. It will come up with options like a boot sort of setup options. I went to clear data or something along those lines and boom back to factory settings. I looked everywhere for a reset button it was only because company I purchased from advised me it was there.

Ditto! Is ther e any other option than reseting factory settings? How can i apply the original passcode I entered?

Did you get it fix?

X96 restricted profile problem
Now any new solution? When I set PIN code and apply restricted profile after that I cannot reverse normal mode, can't apply PIN code

With a factory reset ?
So did anyone work out how to get back removing restricted profile without a factory reset. It seems so counter productive...
Thanks.

Hope it works for you too.
Okay. So, I didn't see a reset button hidden anywhere, but I didn't wanna have to do that anyways. What I've found is that when you turn it off and back on, you can go back out of restricted mode. You just need to be really fast before it re-enters restricted mode again. You have about ten seconds. It's best to connect a mouse because it takes longer to scroll to the apps and options using the remote. But I did everything in time because my password was 0000. As soon as it turns back on, as quickly as possible, go to settings, >security & restrictions, then go to turn off restricted profile. Quickly enter your passcode and you're home free! After that, I'd highly recommend deleting restricted profile. Hope this works for you too!

Yours is the best idea to solve the issue. Unfortunately my GT1 is so fast, that gives me only 1 second. The same is with wired mouse. Is there any experience, if after master (pinhole) reset the Google account should get back all (Kodi reppositories, YouTube account,...) settings ?

I have exactly the same problem with my Philips 49PUS7502/12 Android TV. I even didn't set up a PIN CODE for it. I can't get out of this profile. Any solution rather than factory reset? I have many apps and customization.

Developer options no longer visible after root?

From what can tell despite being enabled, I can no longer see developer options in settings. I'm assuming this happened after I rooted, because I had been in the setting before. I tried a few searches but they were all related to how to enable developer option.

You may need to re-enable the developer options again by clicking the "Build" number a bunch of time in the "about" section of settings, then developer options should re-appear in settings.

ok, yea that was the first thing i did when I was unable to locate it. I even searched it but nothing came up. What's odd is I kept going back, scrolling through thinking I was missing something...after maybe the 4th time I searched it again, despite it not working previously, but it showed up. So i am able to access it through searching, but I still don't see it in the settings list.

OK,
Might be a dumb question, but you do know that to get to "Developer" options you first need to go into "Settings", then "System", then drop down "Advanced", then scroll down and second from the bottom is "developer options".
If it's not there, then maybe go back into developer options using the search as you stated, then turn off developer options via the slide switch at the top, then re-enable it using the build taps and see if it then adds it back into settings.

wow, wtf. I used developer options already on this phone to enable usb debugging.
I had no issues finding it, I swear it was just in the list with the regular settings, the ones with the color icons next to them....but you're right, it was right where you said it was. Doesn't look familiar at all considering I've already accessed the setting a couple times before.
Thanks man, idk how long it would've taken me to figure that out.
