Help. Default applications won't stick. - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just like the title says, when I select a default app i.e. chrome for Web links or the YouTube app for opening YouTube videos, it won't stay set even though I select "always" when it pops up to select which app to use. I have even gone into the default applications settings and cleared it so I can select it again and that will work for a short while. I never had this issue on KitKat it only started when I switched to a Lollipop ROM (specifically MOAR 6.1). I have reflashed the ROM several times and even tried the stock OA6 build but the issue persists. Is this something others are experiencing on Lollipop or is it just me?

+1 Same here on my Samsung Galaxy Note 3 - N900W8 running stock Lollipop 5.0. Anyone find a solution?

The only thing that helps at all that I've found is freezing the other apps that are listed when this happens. This works for basic web links but anything that will open in a specific app but could also be opened in a web browser will do the same thing every time.

Its a problem on googles side. A lot of people on different roms are having an issue
Posted from my Captivate running Perception build 3 with SetiroN's SuperOptimized kernel
I was running on Cog 2.3b2 and never had this problem.
For some reason it started working again, let's hope it's stays that way.
I've tried 3 different roms thinking it was the rom
Go into settings, applications, manage applications, go to market and uninstall updates. That should fix the problem.

I'll give this a shot tomorrow morning and post results. I did "update all" to a bunch of apps and it effectively uninstalled them. Now I gotta figure out which ones they were. Kinda had this problem on Cog 2.4.1, but really bad on 2.3b6. Makes sense if it is an app issue.
It's definitely a server-side outage apparently: http://www.androidcentral.com/late-night-market-woes-youre-not-alone
ok... it didn't stayed working... it keeps coming and going... sometimes they download and sometime they just crash...
What's the downside of uninstalling the Market Updates?
because u are using the same android id a as everyone else with that rom. Change your android id back to your original id. Its been posted before, just research forums on how to find chane and restore android id
Reverting the Market updates worked for me. I got 4 or 5 FCs in a row without it actually updating anything (just uninstalling it) and when I removed the Market updates it worked perfectly the first time.
Gtalk
Just log into Gtalk and it should work. YOu gotta be logged into Gtalk for it to work. This isn't like 100% true, sometimes it may be logged in but the app isn't running or whatever.
BUT, if the market doesnt download apps, log into Gtalk, and then it should work
Stop the download and then re -start it. Works for me

Crunchyroll?

I haven't been able to watch anything on Crunchyroll since I upgraded to Jelly bean. The app opens but its all empty. I think its related to the lack of flash support.
Has anyone been able to get this working? I tried the Dolphin Browser + Flash trick, but haven't had much luck, I can't get Crunchyroll to play in Dolphin either. It says my version is out of date. But I can use flash on other sites that aren't as picky about versions.
I believe this belongs in the Q&A Board, but here goes:
I tried the app and, though it failed a few times, I was able to retry and get a video to play just fine. In the browser, (I use Boat Browser with Adobe flash installed as well) the video froze loading on the mobile site, but when I changed my UA to Desktop, it worked flawlessly. Hope this helps!
I use this app to watch my anime. No issues getting to play any episodes. No problems on browser as well (stock).
I also use this method to get flash working on certain sites that are a bit anal about flash like Hulu and ESPN.com

i reinstalled my app as well. Still shows the top menu bar, but nothing in the middle. Are both of you using the Asus build (not CM10 or another JB build)? Any strange modifications?
I can play other flash sites, just not Crunchyroll. ugh.

For me I'm straight stock rooted and locked. Only modification is from the flash player.

Playing around with the crunchyroll app I have found that if ur transformer is docked in then the app will be blank when launched but if you remove the app from the dock and put in portrait and then run the app it works fine.It seems the app will only work in portrait when navigating the app but when docked the tablet is forced into landscape so it fails to load since a landscape UI was not set for the app.

Funny you should say this. My stock rooted rom has started doing the same over the last couple of days on my gt-8020.

Me too
The stock browser on my GT-N8020 keeps exiting and I have restart it. Irritating.
Possible link to issue.
I've noticed sluggish behavior and even crashes with the stock browser on my stock Note GT-N8013 after the last firmware update. But what I've noticed causes my issues is the Twitter app. I've been able to replicate this too. Simply opening the Twitter app or opening a link within the app will cause the browser to be slow, close, or crash. However if access Twitter using the web, I don't have any of those issues. I don't know if the Twitter app is the actual culprit or if it's some other underlying issue, but for me avoiding the Twitter app has worked.
Same. Stock browser has started to crashe several times a day. n8000/4.1.2
For example: if i go to the site android. com and browse devices there, the browser jams and i get a message to close the application or wait. On some other pages the browser just disappears, screen goes black for a sec and i get the homescreen..

got the new update to xxcmf1 but it didnt fix these crashing problems.
1) android.com -> browse devices => stock browser freezes totally. to get the browser works again i have to close the browser and end the application from memory
2) stock browser shutts off several times a day now more than before that new update and it gives no message. when opening the browser again, it opens the windows which were open before crashing.
this is becoming annoying...

Do you have background data restricted for this app? If that's not the case, it may have something to do with the app itself, I don't have this issue. Did this happen recently (ie worked fine until I installed/flashed ______)?
Nope, it happens on my Nexus 7 tablet too.

I just checked both on data/wifi and it works fine for me, no message. Have you tried to wipe data/cache for the app or try to uninstall the updates back to factory then reinstall? Also try with the Xposed activated or modules as well. See if that's influencing it.
having the same problem here and I'm on 2.3.4 xperia play so not a specific version problem , but the thing I noticed is that we both have a google and a youtube account , perhaps the youtube app get confused and don't save its data , I didn't have this problem in earlier version of youtube though -_- , (all xposed modules disabled too)
Help I don't think I have the same problem because it says there was an error while playing tap to try again

spectrum tv app will not run on rooted tf700t

So I have had my tf700t since about Jan and immediately rooted and installed 7.1.2 with custom recovery. installed spectrum tv app and it worked ok. The vid was always a little choppy.
recently the app gives me an error saying it will not work with a rooted device. ugh. I probably use that app more than almost any other as its nice way to check the guide. other than going back to stock what are my options? by the way, I have tried installing the app from the apk directly to the tablet and same issue.
Update: so now the app runs but will not display the video, and present same error message regarding device rooted. I guess I can live with this as I said before, I don;t typically watch shows on my tablet as the video is a little too choppy to watch which is a drag. But at least I can scroll the channel guide
Install an older version of the app and do not update
thanks, I will give it a try. very annoying when trying to navigate the lineup and every station that I select I get the "this app doesn't work if your rooted" pop up.
I use a app called Disable Service cn.wq.disableservice. Disable all background services, wipe cache and it works. This app also is good for disabling apps that force you to update the app. Older apps do work if the app cannot determine that it is outdated.
