Hi,
I installed the new camera app update but didn't like it so uninstalled the updates on the Play store to get the old camera app back. Thing is, now when I take a picture and click the little preview on the top right corner to see it, it takes me to the Photos app instead of the Gallery app. This wasn't the case before I updated.
Is there any way I can set Gallery back as the default and stop previewing my pictures in Photos?
Thanks.
I'm stock, unrooted btw.
I've never used this but If you go to Settings > Apps then the menu you get "Reset app preferences" select that ( option to cancel or reset) and it says the reset includes "Default applications for actions"
Thanks for your help. Unfortunately that didn't work

I'm afraid that doesn't work either. Thanks for your help though.
Can you see Photos in settings > apps? I thought it was a component of Google+ and clearing the defaults for that may do it.
Disable Photos and Gallery is the only option.

Hello, I had unlocked and rooted my phone. Still on stock.
Here's my question/problem:
When I was on Facebook and there was a video posted; I could choose what player I wanted or I could use a EZ-Downloader to download the file to view off Facebook.
All of a sudden I dont have that option any more.
Can some of you awesome gurus here guide me in the right direction to get that option back?
Go to settings select the app that you set as default and hit clear defaults.
FYI this should be in questions thread.

You must have clicked always instead of just once one of the times you selected one of your options. Go to settings/apps find that app and click on clear defaults. That should free you up.

Yup. They are right.

If I freeze Google plus, and press the back button from within the camera,l app, my photos get deleted.
Any way to fix this? Seems the stock camera is looking for the Google plus photos app, which deletes the photo since the app is disable.
Thanks in advance.

Don`t think so, foto`s is part of Google+.
There's no way to fix it - they're one and the same I tried doing the same a while ago. As of now I'm just hiding Google+ in my launcher... Photos is too awesome to get rid of
Any way to remove the shortcut for photos from the stock camera app?

Delete google + off the phone and it will go away. I deleted a bunch of Google Apps that I did not want. Hangouts,Google+, amongst others. PLus if anything I would rather download and install then have installed as system app.

Thanks for the reply.
What I don't understand is how this has a different effect than disabling the app via settings.

I suppose since it is a system app and still on the phone.
OK the camera app update fixes this association between the camera and photos.

I have the Verizon S7 and noticed when selecting default apps for browser, pics, video there seems to be no option for "Always" and "Just once". It's a small thing, but always like the popup with options. Any other carrier have this issue?
Don't like to go into Apps>Default app to reset things every time. Anyone know if there is a way to work around this?
Tmob is the same way. It sucks.

yeah, the wife use Zedge to change her txting notification and then realized all her notifications got changed. But when she went back to change her main notification sound the phone went straight to Zedge and didn't list the stock sounds.

Hey, after some digging I found some other Note users had this problem and use the app called "Better Open With" from the play store. Set that app as the default and it'll be a popup with choices again. Samsung tried to make this phone like Apple, we had freedom of choice dammit!
Great find! That app is the answer.

Noticed this also. Soooooo annoying. Thanks for the band-aid app suggestion above until they fix this.

Unfortunately "Better Open With" only partially solves the problem. It has a limited set of intents it listens too an misses many others. For instance if you attempt to send an email from a non-email application "Better Open With" does not show up in the list and you get the default behavior. I reached out to the author of "Better Open With" to see if he wants to open source the application so I can help to extend it. If he does not I'll have to come up with my own solution.
is Better open w/? the only solution for defaults? i've downloaded/installed it, but it never pops up.
How do we " Set that app as the default and it'll be a popup with choices again. "
Thanks

Settings -> Applications -> Default Applications -> Set as default - Locate the application currently set as the default for whatever you are trying to open and choose the "Clear Defaults" button. Now when you attempt to open the file you'll see the chooser again and can select Better Open With.
Just got an ota software update for my international g930f. Browsed around phone settings and found that the app default options r now there. I cleared all app defaults and now when I click for an external link, I get the just once or always option now.

Just a heads up this seems to be working again.
Got the apk from here:
http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...phone-3-01-08_rc8-android-apk-download/#notes
It installed fine.
Then just went to Settings>Apps and disabled the old Dialer.
Finally, went to Settings > Apps > cog button > Default Apps and set Google Dialer to default.
So far I have not seen any issue.
Please let me know if you find any.

Only the 2.5.11_rc8 worked for me, I believe they patched it after that.

This please.
Caller ID, it allows you to search for local bussinesses, block phone numbers and more.
Why does this one work on non-Nexus devices and the versions before didnt? Maybe they finally consider releasing it for all devices now.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.dialer
Is it not just a Beta Version of this app?

Does it allow you to install if from play store?
Probably not.
Also, the other versions didn't install since they were suppoused to be only for Nexus and Google Play Edition devices.

Confirmed working here.
Looks and works exactly the same as 2.5.11_rc8 although there appears to be several changes in apk file.
How is this compared to http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...p-google-dialer-2-32-google-contacts-t3263859. ???
I think you need root for that. This app is latest(ish) version and has Call Blocking and Google Caller ID.
Previously you couldn't install this Nexus only Dialler on other phones hence needing root.
But this version escaped Google somehow and simply installs like any other apk. A day later they realised their mistake and made it Nexus only again.
It installed fine but cannot bring up the dial pad and cannot hang up a call. Not sure why it does this. Mxpe stock

Did you set it as default phone app? Had this problem when stock dialer was default.
Also try to disable stock dialer.

Under Apps / Phone / Notification, set it to Allow Peeking = Off. No Peeking helped me get better notifications on incoming calls.
YMMV
Any here use it? It create bright light when viewing.

If you uninstall all the updates and disable the auto-update for the app, the problem goes away. We'll have to wait for Google to fix it. Apparently some Xperia users are having the same issue.
Not facing any issue as u said above.. just a small bug which lags playing slow mo

Same here.
It is a conflict between the default "Splendid" color gamut mode and the Google Photos app, if you disable it under Settings -> Display -> Splendid -> Color Mode:Standard (instead of Wide Color Gamut) the photos should stop doing that bright/wash out change. Annoying but a simple fix until Google updates the Photo app.

solution is:
Enabled and disabled color inversion and the issue got resolved
https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/6151800
Go to Settings > Accessibility.
Select Color inversion.
Newest update fixed the problem. No need to change anything.
