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.

is there any reason why handcent would not be showing up in the market? all help is appreciated.
You rooted?

For some reason it doesn't show up in the market. Google Handcent and go into "forums" then "research" and you can download it from there. Just make sure to check the box in settings to allow non-market apps to be installed then change back when you are done
no, sorry. Not rooted, completly stock. ive searched, rebooted and looked several times and still nothing
You have to go to www.handcent.com and then to news and download the file maunally. its some kind of bug where the market place isnt listing it
It is back in the market and working great on my Evo as of today
The default app isnt to bad. Besides more customization is it really any faster or anything?
I tried Handcent and removed it right way. For some reason when scrolling up and down there is a little lag. I don't mind the default one anyway. I'm trying to install SMS popup just have to find that apk.
I have a question, I installed Handcent, and i like it, But when I get a text message, both handcent and the default mms client notify me. how can I disable the default client?
You can go to the stock settings and disable auto retrieve and notifications.
Sorry for my ignorance but ive searched through all the settings and cant find those settings. Can you point me in the right direction please.

I can receive mms with Handcent though. Any suggestions?

LOL it's in the market
Kidding, by adding a widget ti the screen (if you've downloaded it from the htc widgets app)
Or by installing a 3rd party one from market
Alternatively you can opprn the command prompt and type begin, writeln(LOL), readln; end. But that is only for hackers cuz we do it the hard way

haha I'm talking about the stock app. I dont havce a widget for it either. But the "Sound recorder" app shows up in manage applications. I just dont see a way to run it. It's odd every other phone I had, had the app in the app drawer
yeah, dude i thought i was the only one who noticed/needed this wtf is up with that?
note* i STILL cant find it...its prolly only there for integration for other apps :/

if you can see it in Manage Apps then try to search for it from the Home screen. I know the Dock Mode doesn't show up in my App Drawer but I an run it if I search for it.
& yes, TMOUS did take it out along with some other things.

good tip for the dock mode, i always saw it running, but never saw the app before
but voice recorder doesnt show up under that search, even when i enter the package name :/
oh well 3rd party app, here i come
EDIT: when looking at the all, its 0.00kb, with NO app data or cache...looks like they deleted the app data, but forgot to uninstall...slackass T-Mobile :/
Go to the market & download "any cut". Open it & select "new shortcut" & then select "activity". Once the list loads, scroll down till you find the entry for the sound recorder. Select it, follow the prompts, and it will add a shortcut to the sound recorder to your home screen. Voila- sound recorder.

You do know that it's HTC that does the software modifications that T-Mobile requests, right? So it's slackass HTC, not T-Mobile.
On another note, I agree that T-Mobile does always seem to request removal of useful things and add crap like MyAccount. We can get that off the market if WE want it. My best guess is that by the time they are done adding they're crap too much just is running the background so they start removing other stuff.

So if your tired of the same old boring launchers, which don't really change much except a few options, here is a launcher that is completely different from all the others: SS Launcher.
Flip through your screens like a magazine, accessing your apps, contacts, bookmarks, and whatever else you would like, since you can customize it to your hearts content.
I had a fun time playing with it.
To be honest, I'm back on the 360 launcher. but I'm keeping this launcher for when I get tired of the same old, same old.
You should really give it a try.
It definitely something different and refreshing:

Tried it. Really original and fine.
I just found a bug, maybe.
On the contacts page, if I go to settings/page settings and I uncheck "show no number", of course a phone number appears above the contact name. BUT, if I want to cancel this option and check now "show no number", the phone number still appears, even after a reset of the launcher, even after uninstall/reinstall! (and no folder on sdcard...)
Strange, no?

You misunderstood it. That option is to show/hide contacts which has no phone number (for example : contact has only address, email... but doesn't have phone number)

So I love this phone. I just switched from my captivate which was an amazing phone. The only thing I can't figure out is how to clear app associations. When I want to set ringtones, under sound settings I usually get the option to choose from zedge, android system etc. Can't. Also, when opening a YouTube vid in the browser, I used to be able to select browser or YouTube app. How can I get this back?
Sent from my HTC One X using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2
If you're running an older version of Sense 4, go into Settings -> App Associations, and you should be able to change the defaults there.
If you don't have that option, go to Settings -> Apps. From here, select the app that is the default (like Zedge, for example), scroll down and look for the button that says "Clear Defaults". Hope that helps .
Well under app associations there is nothing for ringtones or YouTube links.

In stock Sense, some of the associations are locked to the browser because of HTC's patent disputes with Apple. For example, you can't set Youtube videos to the Youtube app.
There is a way to change this, but I think you have to be rooted to do because you need to change some files in /system. It's been a while since I did it, but search the Development forum for discussions on htclinkify.
Most custom roms have the fix baked in.
Morning everyone. I've found that when someone sends me an SMS and that SMS contains an URL, the URL is handled and opened inside of the messaging app. This is a problem for me as typically there is something that prevents the page from displaying. I can tell the page loaded because when I click the X to close the page, it briefly displays the content then I'm back at the SMS. Anyone else seeing this? Is there a way to force the url to be opened in the stock Samsung browser or Chrome?
I'm wondering the same thing. Very frustrating.

Hmm....I was hoping that others had the this SMS URL problem and had solved it. It's ironic I guess....Sprint sends me a URL regarding the Note 7 recall....I can't read it because it opens inside of the SMS messaging app. I had to Copy the url into the Samsung Browser (which I really like) to see the recall info.
Well, if anyone should pass through this thread...and had the issue but resolved it, please let me know. Thanks
You can also just hit the 3 dot menu and select open in browser. Its not a solution but its easier then copying the link.
