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

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I was wondering if anyone had any ideas about ho to tweak LCDDensity. I love this app. It makes everything fit in the screen on my Vibrant perfectly. The only minor complaint I have is that every time I want to switch the settings I have to reboot my phone. Is there any way to tweak this app so that I don't have to reboot my phone for the changes to take effect? I know absolutely nothing about programing so this might not be possible but I though I would put it out there.
Easiest way is unistall the app.
Use root explorer to go to your system folder. hit the button on top saying "mount R/W", longpress on the build.prop to choose open in text editor. scroll down to where you see "density=160" or something like that (should say 160 though). and press menu then save and quit.
Reboot.
Done.
Ignore the above poster who didn't read your post.
Sorry but there isn't a way to do it without rebooting, because the file that holds the information only gets read during boot.

So I`m new here and if my thread is not on the right place - sorry. And here it is my problem:
I`m using Widgetsoid Switcher Widget and have this very annoying problem that when i turn on something it not works (For example: I turn on my data service, widget indicates that it`s turned on but actually it's not. If I turned it on from the Settings menu the widget indicates it`s turned on and when I stop it from the widget it doesn`t stop). Same with WiFi and GPS... This thing is freaking me out so if somebody can help me it would be great or if you can tell me other app like that one with options for customization. Thanks in advance
Can`t somebody help me?

Hi,
Try to uninstall, install and reboot directly after install (it's important!).
After go to global preferences and check "Disable all apn"
Create your widgets and it will be ok.
Now everythings is fine but Data Service still doesnt't work... Any ideas?
data toggle help
i had the same problem with the data/3g toggle on my htc evo. what you have to do is go to "settings->wireless & networks->then scroll down and make sure there is a check mark in the "mobile network" setting" in order for the widget to control it the setting must first be enabled. it took me and the dev 3 days to find this out.
also if that doesn't work go into the app itself and as soon as it opens it you should see something at the top that says data toggle mode. make sure that setting is set to "APN toggle" and not "APN rename"
hope this helps. remember to rep if it did
Thanks man
No problem

I had a similar problem today, it looks like the data switch in Widgetsoid places a dash in front of your AccessPoint name in order to block data transfer and removes that dash when you click switch again.
After messing with Widget I was not able to connect to net, I installed, uninstalled, etc, and then I noticed that APN list was empty, I had to add the APN again and restart it, I think (as said above) that you need the data to be ON then do a restart in order for Widgetsoid to properly read the status.
If you're rooted, use the new "root method" to toggle data. It doesn't mess with your APN & it works flawlessly for me. It's the first time I've had a data toggle that actually works.
A simple method
FIX = Settings>Location & Security>Select Device Administrators> *Uncheck Widgetsoid
Uninstalled
Thanks to: mr.noobsalot
I know this is an old thread, but where is the global preferences on version 3.4.1 it doesnt appear when I click apply.
Im using a HTC sensation and ICS.
Thanks

Stay FAR away from Widgetsoid. It can slow a Galaxy S5 down to a Crawl. Your Dialer will not function, Your phone will not respond. Its trying to load your phone with Ads or something and keeps your CPU busy, whether its a dual core or quad doesn't matter. Developer does not respond and does not seem to care. After uninstalling this App, the phone feels "new" again.
I believe this app is some type of Spyware/Malware combo. Why does it need access to my Contacts? Something very fishy and the developer never responds. It's a great Widget when it works but certain things about it don't seem right. Uninstalled!
I can't change the native text message incoming sound on my new A9
Dedinity not using a 3rd party app. Definitely have no other one on my phone. The only thing I have is Nova, which I am not using. Still on Sense.
Im in the app and goto notifications and then under "Incoming Sound" I select a different one, hit apply, then nothing happens.
Thanks
So Much
Try from the Themes app
So can't I. Believe it is a bug. Know anyway to report to HTC?
Another bug is that if you use set default in app management menu, you'll have no way to clear the default(allow app picker upon action), unless you install another can do browsing, messaging or calling.

I'm confused what app you are using? My default text messages app doesn't say "Incoming Sound" as a setting. It just says "Notification sound" and I can change it without issue.

Can you tell me after you pick the tone from the settings of the message app, will the text still be "Default ringtone(Dahlia)"?

Nope. It changes to what I select (note, I set my default to Lotus).
Sorry for not making it clear. I can chamge to whichever preloaded tone as well. Bit it seemed impossible to use any custom tone I pit in notification folder under my storage.
Go to your "Settings" -> "Apps" -> select "All Apps" on the top; scroll down and select "Messages". Select "Permissions" and allow "Storage" to be turned on as part of the Apps Permissions. Go back to your message settings, and select the "Notification sound" you'd like. After messing around for an hour I found that this worked for me; hopefully it'll work for you as well.

Good find. I've noticed that permissions are a lot more granular with Marshmallow than with Lollipop it seems
Thanks all. Especially CJ926
How did you even know this. I (novice) even switched back from the combined storage to separate storage. Apparently it had nothing to do with that. And I have a lot of my own tones and it also had nothing to do with that.
Really how did you know.
and Jolly, what in this case do you mean by granular?
(I do get 2 text messages to myself when I text myself (I know, a crazy way, but my preferred quick way to note myself. Not just here but in the interim while using the Zmax. Any clues CJ orJolly)
II am getting used to the phone. Like it. Not loving it yet. The hiccups in speed are np. For me it is the size. Hard to go from a bigger phone, Note 5 to this. Typing. I guess it just takes time. Afterall I was once using a phone this size. And iPhone users have for years.

Saved my day! Thanks a lot.
Love the phone. But it is gonna take getting used to from a Note to this size wise
For eric0668, sorry for the late reply as I was at work till very late last night. I guess I was just lucky to notice the option, after messing with A9 for an hour upon getting it. Marshmallow does contain lots of smaller details when it comes to 'App Permissions' (possibly what Jolly meant by 'granular'), which is very nice for customization purposes.
I'm not sure if you've already figured it out eric0668, but you'd have to do something similar like what I mentioned, if you'd like to customize incoming ringtone for individual contacts under your "Phonebook." Go to your "Settings" -> "Apps", then select the three vertical dots on your top right portion of the screen, and you should see a "Configure apps" option. Select it and then select the "App permissions" option. Scroll down to "Storage", select it and then scroll down to "People" and turn the option on. This way you wouldn't be stuck on the "default" ringtone for your individual contacts.
There's plenty of customization options under App permissions, so I hope this will also help you out.
I've noticed with the A9 if an app doesn't work properly then so far it's always been related to the permissions as stated above. After reading this thread I FINALLY got my notification tone for messaging to work. I've always used a particular tone from Zedge. Last night at a grocery store I used (tried to use) my store app to scan my shopper club card. It forced close as soon as I signed in! Later at night I read a thread somewhere online and went to Settings>Apps>Wegmans>Permissions and turned them on. BAM, the app works fine!
Other than this minor quirk, the only things I don't like about the phone are 1) It's so new I had a hell of a time finding a case. I settled for a $6 cheapo online with $15 next day shipping. 2) Without a case the phone is like holding a stick of butter! 3) I seriously miss the front dual speakers on all the "One" models. The only thing keeping me from returning this phone for an M9 is the fingerprint scanner! The M9 would be free for my upgrade, this A9 cost me $150 to upgrade. ?
Hi, I need some help with my device. I'm lost with this one...
I was sharing a link to my friend and accidentally chose the "Always" option in the sharing screen. Now every time I hit "share" in that particular app, it goes straight to the app I accidentally selected to be the "always" app.
I would like to get the sharing work like before and like in every other app. So that the sharing options shows up and I can select which ever app I want the link to be shared.
Only solution I found on internet was going Settings - Apps - hitting the 3 dot menu and selectin Reset app preferences. This seems to reset every application, so I'd rather not do this.
Does anyone know what I need to reset to get it back without resetting the whole phone or all of the apps.
S22U with Goodlock module Home Up if that matters...
Thanks
Under App info for that app is Set as Default option. Click on it and clear defaults under that option. Also try under the other, "always" app

Somehow I completely missed clearing defaults for the app that was set as the "always" app. Doing that brought the sharing options back.
Thanks a million times
I can successfully run widgetupdatet and musicproxy on my uis7862 unit.
But I think i need to make it start at boot/wakeup and also make it not battery optimized
So for start at boot/wake up, i turn it on with User - application. But this make widgetupdater app show up everytime when unit boot up, which i prefer it to hidden
For battery optimized setting, I don't have battery option from my setting menu.
May I have your advice on this?
@KёniG
Thanks
Hello.
The newest firmware doesn't have battery settings. Install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut and find "Settings suggestions". Launch it and type in the search field "Battery".

cool, thanks. Let me try this app on my unit for battery setup part
May I know how about the startup part, anyway I can make the app screen do not popup and make a more silent startup?
(for my firmware, I can make app startup automatically in settings -> user -> application settings
Thanks again
@KёniG
I've switched to paid version and turn on "silent start" seems it will just flash then go away which is good now.
However I don't find the way to open the app to change settings anymore (don't see the icon at notification menu) . need to wipe out the app data to get back to setting screen

My answer above is about silent start up.
If you have the restricted notification bar it is required to reinstall the app to enter settings. Silent mode is not appropriate way for you.

Thanks, so either I can still choose silent startup but need to reinstall app if i need to change settings
Or
I dont make it silent startup but i will see the setting screen everytime the unit starts?
and one last thing
After I use musicproxy+widgetupdater. When I use my wheel button - "mode" to change the source, it will go through radio, Phone, Bluetooth music, then my specified music player, then stopped if i press "mode" again. Originally, the next app is the map and then loop back to radio. Is it normal behaviour?
Thank you so much
Played a bit more, seems AIMP is working fine to loop the button cycle.
Your problem got solved?

silent startup still make the app no longer configurable but is ok as I don't think need to always configure that often.
For wheel button issue, I find out is my specific app (KKBox) issue. If I change to AIMP or another music app then is working fine to cycle the sources.
And i think a setting which is quite useful for me is "Multiple music app" which will show current playing app info in that widget area
