On 4.4 official OTA on most apps when trying to share files/URLs basically anything it defaults to Gmail when normally you'd be given a choice of methods to share (text, drop box, Bluetooth ect.) I've tried clearing any all defaults I can find to no avail. I feel I've tried everything but FDR. Any ideas would be aoorecisted.

I've found that if I install another app that requests to be the default, it will prompt me and ask which program I want to be default.. At that point I can choose " just once" or "always". Example: I use chrome as my default browser. If I install Firefox it will open the prompt and ask which browser I want to use any time I open chrome or Firefox. Hope this helps

This is a known problem with 4.4 that was fixed with 4.4.1 (or 4.4.2) on the Nexus. That doesn't help you, I know.
This hasn't happened to me, but I recently read that if you go into settings->apps, tap the three button menu and choose "reset app preferences", that fixes the sharing menu problem.

Hello,
I have a strange problem.
when I use the keyboard (I tried the latest version of "Go Keyboard" and "SwiftKey X") to write a message or enter to a website the keyboard dropdown and I need to click on the text box to reopen the keyboard.
It is really annoying... I tried to look for a solution in the internet but I couldnt find anything.
thank!
This has happened to me on several occasions as well...it always went away on its own, though, so I have no idea what caused it.

happens every time i open the browser, very annoying. its like i try to type in the text box and all of a sudden it disappears and tries to auto guess what i was typing. thought it was my phone, turned out to be dolphin browser in my case. using stock browser again and is fine. however, my data connection sucks and even on wifi in my house 15 feed from the router it loses signal.
Odd, I had the problem with my stock browser mostly, now that you mention it...and I haven't had the problem at all with Dolphin, that I remember.
It's really annoying!
Changing rom can fix that out?

It may (MAY) be an issue with the process itself: android.com.multitouchkeyboard. If you could find a way to just restart that process I think you can at least mitigate the problem. Have you tried a factory reset?
I know, it sucks, but when you get an odd system-based glitch like this (and it's a software issue) usually a factory reset fixes it. If that doesn't do it, something in the O/S may be corrupted, and flashing an fxz to stock 2.3.6 may help.
Also, are you using a sdcard, and if so what size/class? You could try removing the sdcard and see if the problem persists...

Also another one..
When lets say i open browser and type something in the address window like "xda atrix" and hit enter,it of course pulls up google with that search which is fine. But...if i try and click on the input box on the actuall google site ,and i start typing ..the browser will automatically scroll to the bottom of the page while im typing and continue to type in another box. And if u try and scroll back to the top,it wont let u. It will scroll right back down to the bottom so your forced to again use the actuall browser input box for another google search.
Annoying ...

Well, nonetheless, you have to wipe data/factory reset in CWM in order to install many of the custom roms out there... just sayin'!
Use the stock browser instead of dolphin or go or whatever. It will do it less. Even a custom rom will do the same thing. My favorite is trying to type something and then it tries to auto fill which means the keyboard pops outta sight and you accidently hot resturants which pops up another screen and the, you have to go back and retype what you were looking for! Very frustrating! Anybody know if this problem is on other phones? Like the samsung s3? I'm even using a different keyboard (A.I. keyboard which is great so far) and the same browser broblem exists. Texting is fine...
For some reason I can't enable file sharing via DLNA on my AT&T Galaxy S3. I'm using a custom rom called TuchMi S3X 3.0 and the KT747 kernel.
The toggle in the settings is grayed out, but on my friend's GS3 it's not and can be turned on.
Does anyone have an idea of what the problem can be?

I'm on official O2 uk
Hi, I have the same problem on my galaxy s3 since the update this week. The on/off button is greed out. Any ideas how to enable it?
I can't find who told me this on another thread,
Go to applications manager, click the "all" tab at the top, scroll down to nearby devices, clear cache.
As I said, I can't take credit for this, many thanks to who replied to the other thread.

This worked for me on my UK unlocked GS3 running build number LG8.
Thank you!
Near By Devices is not showing up in "ALL" in Application Manager.
Any other ideas how to clear the cache or data?
I had posted the same problem in another post in the general section, just tried the clear data option and that worked for me.

Because it doesn't appear under applications manager. Any solutions? I'm currently running JB via free gs3

I had the same problem(running hyperdrive rls12 as well) fixed it by reflashing doing the custom install and checking the very first option which is allshare. i didnt install it the first time and its needed to share files via dlna or other sharing options.
My mom's stock GS3 has had the Stocks card set to work for a while. Not too long ago the stocks card seemed to completely stop showing up. I checked all the settings in Google Now and it should be working, but the card never shows up. There's no longer even the option to have it show when there is a 1% change.
Does anyone know what has happened recently that caused this? Any help would be appreciated.
same here
I'm having the same problem tried everything from clearing app data to uninstalling updates and the app itself nothing brings it back hopefully this gets fixed soon I need to check my stocks !...

The same thing happened to me recently as well but today it is working fine. Here is what I did to fix, maybe it will work for you too:
1. Open a browser window and make sure that you're logged into your google account.
2. Search for "Quote AAPL" or whatever other stock you own. (LOL I'd never buy an iPhone but I'll attempt to profit off them)
3. The results window should contain a graphic section at the top with your stock quote with actual search results below.
4. Now go back to your Google Now app on the phone.
I am not certain this is what it takes to "fix" it, I just know that my stocks went away and now they are back after doing this. Good luck.

I never set my stocks card up but I found them showing up anyway. I can only guess that my Gmail address must be associated with my stocks... (thru fidelity I guess)
just a guess, but did she make any changes to her email preferences in regards to the stocks?

Hey it looks like they added a settings page for the stock quotes. Maybe this will fix it?
Open Google Now then go into the Settings -> My stuff -> Stocks and add the ticker symbols there.

Mine was already in there. I tried removing it and adding it before I even found this thread.
Just an FYI everyone, I fixed it. Despite the fact that I already added the stock I wanted, it was still turned off. Even though settings showed Google Now All Cards ON, I had to tap that and turn on stocks. Hth
For some reason, now the traffic card is not showing up at all.
had same issue but this is what helped me to get rid of it...
Just turn off the notification from settings in google now & turn it back on after some time & it'll show up,
How do you set the default stocks that show up first referring to the order.

Same here. it seems that the wechat app is not very compatible with android 4.4 and/or nexus 5 yet. It also restarts the app when trying to change your profile photo. Hopefully these will be fixed soon.
It seemed that the problem is with WeChat developer in fixing FC and problems with the Apps - comments posted are full of reports with the latest update citing kitkat 4.4 compatibility, which apparently isn't so.
Thanks for the feedback!

I had the change profile photo problem on Nexus 4 Kit Kat. After selecting "choose photo", you have to click the top-left icon(with 3 parallel bars) next to "recent", then select Gallery (if it doesn't appear by default). If you select directly without going thru' Gallery then it FC.

Hello
I updated yesterday my GS6 on Marshmallow and i have a question for all those who are using MM on their devices( no matter if Samsung or not), i noticed that when i open a link in an app(no matter what app) the prompt doesn't have 'JUST ONCE' or 'ALWAYS'(like on Lollipop), it makes as the default browser the first one i choose. On Lollipop i chose 'JUST ONCE' all the time and it was useful because when i wanted to open a link for ex. in Facebook, i opened with Flynx, links in Feedly with Chrome etc., now, if i open a link with Flynx(or Chrome,Firefox etc.) it opens all future links with the same app, without prompting me like in Lollipop. If i want to open the same link with another browser i have to clear the defaults of the first app i have chosen.
I've set the browser to none in the defaults apps,with the hope that it will prompt me like on LP, but it propmts me like in the second screenshot i attached, after selecting a browser, it's like having a single browser LOL, is this Google's implementation or Samsung's? i've found an article on android police that describes exactly the issue i have
http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/1...ow-and-its-why-your-defaults-are-misbehaving/
but it was for MM Beta and i thought this issue was resolved. Is this behaviour present on any of your devices that runs MM?
Here are the differences between Lollipop(first) and MM(second) the third screenshot is with all browsers defaults cleared, but if i open a link with any browser, it auto-defaults as the default browser( in this case,Fynx, 4-th screenshot)
I have the same problem, and i still havent found solution.
