I have a new note 5
this is my last day to tell Verizon to shove there 5 phone in the dark side
Whenever I open an email attachment it will ask only once what to use. And then its set to this app.
My issue is I have to open the same attachment with 2 sometimes 3 apps to complete what I need to do.
Adobe to copy,
Print share to print mobile. ETC.
Is there a way to always have the option to chose the app I need at the time I need it?
Or will I always have to go into app manager and clear the defaults every time..
This is a complete pain in the behind
also this is my 5 phone in 45 days
four note 4s in a month crap Bluetooth all 4
note 5 crap Bluetooth also

Hello, this is herna from XDA Assist.
I understand what you want to explain, but as a suggestion, try to write a little better, and if possible only use number for referring to the phone and writing number with letters for other stuff.
Regarding your problem, no, there is not any way. It depends on the apps, and all that process is necessary since there are different options. The only way would be to the app developer add exactly the app to use. So you will have to do the 2/3 steps always, is how Android works and is the process you need to follow.
I wish this clarifies and help what you wanted to know,
cheers!

Hi guys!
I know there is a way to create a Chrome extension which, when clicked, launches an app on the phone that vibrates the phone and plays a sound file at the loudest volume, so I can find it. Like Chrome to phone but with a different purpose.
This would be a great app for those times when you need to go but just can't find your phone even though you know it is somewhere in the home. With just the press of a button you could hear (or feel, if it's very close to you) where it is! No need to use another phone to call yours or run around the apartment getting all tired and angry!
Personally I would have used it like eight times since I came up with the idea, but I don't know Android programming or HTML (for the extension) so I can't create it myself.
where's my droid
and a couple of other apps already do this. They take a sms message and crank up the volume.

That's great for some people (with unlimited SMS), but unfortunately I haven't got unlimited SMS (nor do I always have access to a second phone. If I did though I would probably call my phone instead as this request is for finding the phone when you know it is somewhere near but don't have the patience to run around and search for it)
The app I want doesn't use SMS messages for launching the app but the Cloud-to-device service introduced with Android 2.2 and at the moment only available to a small but growing number of devices.
I use the Chrome to phone app & ext (code dot google dot com/p/chrometophone) on my Nexus and although it doesn't work every time when it does work it feels like magic!
I thought it would feel as much if not even more like magic if you could use this new service to find your phone with ease. I don't need it to have all the (for some) great features like showing where the phone is on a Google map or wiping important data if it's lost, I've got other apps for that.
I want this app to be as simple as it possibly can be, again like Chrome to phone:
Setting up: Download, Register phone, Be logged into Google account, done!
Use: Be logged into Google account, click extension button, wait a sec, phone rings, done!
Now does anyone here know how to create this app or where to request it to increase the chances of it getting past the idea stage and into something usable? It would surely make my day!
What is the best protection for Galaxy Note in a case of theft? I am referring to the following features:
1) SMS message to the predefined number that contains the number of the new SIM card when it is insterted by the thief/third person;
2) possibility to remotely delete all personal data (contacts, messages, passwords for applications, schedule, notes);
3) GPS location of the phone without the possibility to turn off the GPS by the thief/third person;
4) possibility to lock the phone and make it unusable (unlock it with a password only known to the owner);
5) software protection that cannot be overridden by a factory reset or connecting the phone to a computer;
6) privacy of the owner (not being tracked all the time but only when the phone is reported as stolen).
I am aware of the following options but I am unsure which ones have the features above:
1) stock Android protection;
2) Samsung Dive;
3) Norton Internet Security (free on Samsung Apps);
4) Kaspersky Internet Security (free on Samsung Apps);
5) NetQuin (free on Google Play);
6) Avast (free on free on Google Play).
Are there any other options that meet the mentioned criteria?
What is the best option?
there is lookout as well
I use Avast.
Use android lost...Best app ever!
i use cerberus. it has the option u looking for. im useing it.

Same here, you can flash it to the system to, and it will keep giving you information even if someones wipes the data of your phone.
I've tried them all and Cerberus is the best IMHO. Also takes pictures and send them to your email if someone puts the wrong password in or you can do it and everything you described through the web interface.
That's all fine if the guys who steals the phone, tries to use it as is. but you know now a days they have well set up team, they simply put it to download mode & flash a clean ROM (i hope so). Around twenty days back i lost my Galaxy i9003. the incident was so shocking. Two guys, one from behind my slow moving car (at a signal during peek hours) diverted my attention by hitting the car with hand & when i turned back the othr guy flicked my phone through window. phone was kept at speedo meter compartment (window shutter was open with my arm resting on it). i had installed phone locator pro. Nothing happend till date.
So be carefull guys. Since our Gnote is large enough for anybody to pull it from hand & run away if u r walking & talking in busy places. Remember, there r lots of people watching you...
So Cerberus has all the features I listed in the first post? Is it the best then?
Does anyone have actual experience with these apps after their Android phone had been stolen?
Anyone?
Cerberus can be installed to system partition so it survives hard reset. Also there are disguised versions with System Framework app name without icon to make it stealth.

Do any of these apps need a rooted phone or does it make a difference?
Nice thnx
Cerberus is the best one!
You guys also have samsungdive service, many samsung users don't even know about this...

So does this mean that Cerberus is even better than Samsung Dive?
Absolutely best is Android lost........ Have all points you want except #5,that you will find in NO app.....
But android lost have more then 10 useful functions more.....
Can Make photos of the thief, audio recording, hide the app complete.....
If the thief change the simcard, you will get the new tel Nr., in the same moment and can control phone continously........
All actions would NOT be seen by the thief.....
You can write "fake error" messages, like "read error in lineb#FF12E" and if he press on "ok", a photo (without shutter sound) is taken of him.......
And very much more functions, look on "www.androidlost.com", the best thing is, that android lost works with a Google message service, so you're not need the sim to do commands......
Orders can get over every Internet browser or over Sms to ya phone.....
I test the emergency with my friend, and it works fantastic, after 30minutes I got 10 pics of him, have his voice, catched all phone numbers, he dial, all messages also, get all 2minutes his new location, got the complete phone state, so I have a good chance to find the thief in the first one or two hours.......
It's a shame, that you can't protect your phone by yourself against flashing roms, but every guy, (if he not knows how to flash a note exactly) have first to look for the roms, how to flash and so on, and this gives you 2 hours or more to locate him.......
Don't count on the police! In Germany, they will do nothing, also if you have the imei and they have technical stuff to locate a phone on every login, but they don't do, just in "special causes". That's a joke, so it's better to locate it by your self

Ok I have been using office suite pro 6 for 3 days I very much like it but what I dont understand is in when you open a new file in order for there to be no spaced in between lines you have to always go into paragraph and then where the option for spacing its always on the number 10 in the after and I akwsyd have to change it to either 0 or Auto in order to not get double spacing. Anyone know how to set it on thr setting you want permentaly it seems very strange you have to do this every time you begin a new file.

Nope, I don't know the answer - but if you register the app I think that you should take advantage of the developer's customer service, here's the link to their support page:

Hi, Note 5 and S6 EDGE+ both have a problem. It defaults a program to the first app you select. I used to be able to click a number and android would as me to choose my VIOP or RC "just once" Now every things is set to "always"There used to be an option to only use it once. Is there any way I can fix this without rooting?
I would also like to know this too

It's weird for sure. Seems like only sharing from certain apps like the gallery and Internet browsers give this option. But this app helped: app picker classic. It's in the play store. It's not ideal but it's working for me. If you share and choose this app the first time it will add all your other options for each consecutive time.

Problem it most of the these kind of apps don't open or get all the apps you want.
I am working with the developer "better open with". He said there is a bug.
I don't think this is a bug but it's the way the new touch wiz was made.
I'm also wondering why they've removed this feature. And is there any way around it without root?

I swear I love Samsung but they do some of the dumbest sh!t. LG also removed that feature from some of their devices. What the heck are these manufacturers thinking? What on God's green earth makes them think that you want to handle one type of file the same way everytime? Sometimes I want to open a link with one browser and open another link with another browser because maybe that specific browser works better with that particular websites. I love the just once. Constant clearing defaults is fuking worst than selecting between just one and always.

I still has not found a decent fix. All the app pickers out there only show some apps but not all. The only app close is Better Open with. We can't even root now because we loose samsung pay. I am not an apple fan but I love that 3d feature. It is like a right click on a mouse.

I have this same problem on my S5 mini. PLEASE tell me there is a solution by now? This is the stupidest thing I have ever seen. So I send something once to Opera mini because I need to save on data usage and now I am forever stuck with websites opening in Opera Mini and looking like terrible. On Kitkat I NEVER used to select "always" on anything, for choice and security reasons.. Now I cannot.

I have this but it is only for things programmed into the app. I cannot scan an NFC thing and it always come up do I want to use "Tag" or "NFC Reader" or "xyz". Because the app does not know about this "type". It's good to protect and provide choice for websites and images and things but it is not perfect. Why would samsung/google mess this up? Not only is it stupidly inconvenient but it is less secure because now something like a website or any other thing just goes on it's merry way automatically opening and executing with an app all the time, instead of the usual thing where I have the choice to press always, just this once or oh yeah just press the back button to cancel the attempt from the start.
I am not happy with the loss of this functionality.

One of the workarounds I found for sharing or opening links with different apps was to select "Copy to Clipboard" option when you select the default app for the first time after clearing your old defaults and then go to your target app and paste from clipboard. It's definitely not as straightforward as selecting "Always" vs "One time only" but still better than clearing out defaults after every use for me.
This is actually incredibly annoying. Sometimes I open Youtube videos in Youtube, sometimes I open them in my VLC Remote Control, sometimes I open them in Flyperlink....how this functionality went away is beyond me....frigging Samsung.
Better Open With will have to do for now, thanks for the link.
First off, I love this phone and reason why I got the Q China version was because it had the 6GB RAM which the 5 pro does not have with a price gap difference. 90% of this phone is perfect, the other 10% I can live with and hopefully they will make these changes in future updates. For you all looking at this Q model in North America, might want consider this before you get the Q version.
1. Using 3rd party messaging apps, this is basic stuff, why would any company lock you from using another sms app other then the stock one, this is only on the Q models I believe. It's like I'm back using and Iphone again lol. If you go the default settings, it will not list any other installed messaging app. I've been using ChompSMS for years and I love it, not I'm stuck using Q's messaging app, which is not bad but no where close to Chomp. Also, if I'm forced to use their messaging app, at the very least make it more customizable, ie. separate contact tones, pop up quick reply window etc. In ColorOS 6, it use to not even allow me to use another launcher but that got changed/fixed in UI 1.0, thank God, now you can use Nova Prime or your own launcher.
2. PC SMS, I work from home and use my PC to text constantly either with PushBullet or MightyText, with this Messaging app constriction, every time use these PC apps, it asks for a TXT message verification on my phone either face id or fingerprint, kind of defeats the purpose of texting on your PC. I wish there was away around this or a setting, I've looked everywhere in the phone settings and set every damn permission, nope.
3. Startup Manager... great idea to reduce battery use, but only limit to 5? come on. At least give us the option to set how many start up limits we want and just give us a warning that the more we use the more power it drains. Again, back to the Iphone days lol.
Other then these, I'm keeping my phone for all the pros, it's fast, screen looks good, these things are just really annoyances that I hope Oppo/RealMe or whoever will fix in the next OS update. I've seen some post of using custom rom on this Q model but also seeing a lot of glitches, I don't think it's worth having this issues for these minor annoyances. I've been using custom roms on other phones and tablets for years now, some with great luck and some I almost end up throwing the device through my window due to custom rom glitches lol.
If anyone finds a solution(s) for these annoyances other then using custom ROMS, please let me know I'll buy you a coffee and donuts lol.
