I've changed my main browser from Opera to Kiwi but still retain Chrome for certain functions that I like on it but don't use it often because it's a battery killer. However, every day I have to reset my default because Chrome keeps on opening links even though it's not set as the default in settings. This morning was the most annoying as it now showed up as the default even though I didn't change anything. How and why is this happening and how can I prevent it reoccurring?

Uninstall the thing! Microsoft's mobile edge browser is excellent.
or
try Settings>More settings>App Manager>Chrome>Storage> clear data and clear cache.

Thanks for the reply.
I don't want to uninstall it and I don't want to use Edge. I use Chrome for specific tasks so can't clear data. Opera is my main browser. The question is why is this happening on Funtouch 9? I don't have this problem on my P10 with emui 9.1.

I've never used the Vivo app store. My version of Chrome comes from the Playstore. Meanwhile the problem persists. This is really baffling.

You haven't done what they told you too, it's normal the problem persists....
Although you don't use it, it might be causing some problems that you cannot anticipate.
Try the following:
-> go to acessibility settings and see if you have any of them "off" that should be "on"
-> go to the battery consuption ranking and enable the browsere that you like, disabling the others
-> go to default browser and change it to what you want
-> restart the phone and see what is your default browser

-I haven't done that because he's talking nonsense.
-Accessibility isn't relevant to this issue.
-Battery consumption isn't relevant as Chrome isn't there since I seldom use it.
-Default browser is set to Opera both within Opera and the phone menu but Chrome somehow changes to the default on its own.
I don't have this problem on any of my other devices. It can only be a bug with Funtouch.

If you work in the area you understand that sometimes unrelated pieces cause bugs and software problems that you can't anticipate...we are just trying to rule those out
Accessibility might be relevant if you have some app that has the permissions to change default launchers (such as NovaLauncher, etc) and might be able to re-default your browser app. Check it
Every app is on the background power saver definition until you choose otherwise. Just go there and check Opera and uncheck Chrome, try it ffs...
if you want some help don't just post reasons not to try it....try it and then report the results so we can help you further...if you knew the stupidities that I had to do in my NEX to get some softwares going wright (Button remapers, cursor controls, automate,...) you wouldn't be arguing that "that is stupid or unrelated"

I'll answer your last statement first.
-I'm using the international version so any hoops you jumped through on your Chinese version don't really apply to my phone.
-Chrome isn't in my background power saver since it's regarded as a system app. I've forced stoppand cleared data on it and stopped auto updates but it still rears it's head again.
- None of my current accessibility settings can do this, so that's ruled out.
I have most of my devices set up identically and have used similar setups on all my phones ranging from Asus to ZTE (A-Z), I've used a lot of phones with my default browser being Opera mostly. This started after the Pie update.
Whilst I appreciate the help, the other guy told me to uninstall Chrome when I explicitly said I don't want to get rid of it. So yeah, he was way off the mark.
Well I think I've found a workaround but it's not really a solution. I've kept Opera locked in recent apps and it defaults there now. This is despite Chrome still showing up as the default on it's own. Very strange behavior.
Thanks for the input but if anyone has a solution or explanation it would be much appreciated.

I think your problem is specific to your device, I have been using Opera as my default browser since few days and it's still my default browser and I let chrome auto update and also use it regularly but it does not effect Opera.

Hey guys just recently got my AT&T One X, and I am having this annoying "problem" on my browser. Most of the times when I leave the browser then I go back in it it refresh the page instead of staying like when I left the page. This happen on my iPhone when I have to many tabs open or runs too many apps. Most of the apps on my ONE X are not running and coming back from the lock screen and going into the browser the "page" refresh by itself. Pretty annoying for me plus it uses more data. Just wondering if anyone is having this issue. I also tried the "Dolphin browser" and it happen on this browser too.
On a side note I have the Galaxy Note GT7000 and the above issue rarely happen, but on the ONE X this issue happens let say 7 out of the 10 times do something or go back to the browser.
What browser are you using? This happens for me as well but only in chrome beta, I assumed it was a chrome software problem. When I use dolphin HD this does not happen.

It's not a browser issue but multitasking. Apparently when we multitask on the one x it refreshes the apps. I don't know if this is a feature or a bug.

The real issue is the one x has murdered multitasking somehow. I use 3 apps. email, chrome (or internet), and mail. sometimes another or 2. after a few minutes the one x kills those processes and when I relaunch the app is has to load. There is some VERY screwy stuff going on.

I'm glad I'm not alone, it's really bad on the One X especially with chrome. I can't answer a google talk and switch directly back without a full page refresh.
Not to mention the fact that the switcher is horribly implemented and shows almost no information.
PeterHTC said:
I, too, had the "loading" issue every time I closed an app and went back to my home screen.
Here's the solution, although, it works for MOST and not ALL people.
Go to Settings=>Developer Options, and scroll down to the section entitled "Apps."
The first entry should be "Don't keep activities."
Make sure this is UNCHECKED. If it's already UNCHECKED, check it and reboot, and then go back in and UNCHECK it and reboot.
It solved my "Loading" problem immediately..

This is actually with the stock browser. I also tried Dolphin browser and it is happening as well.
Happens to me also. It doesn't multitask at all, yesterday I was trying to type something into the phone keypad and the numbers I entered kept disappearing when I'd come back to the app. The browser reloads all the time and I downloaded every browser from the market, all of them did it. One thing I loved about wp is that tabs wouldn't reload even weeks later.

We have the same issue but some people here don't have this problem, only by using Chrome.
glad someone else noticed this.. there is almost no true multi-tasking that is happening.. this has to be a bug. I tried the developer option above, didn't change anything.
Went back to the store to play with the DEMO and tried all 3 phones and the problem is there. This is a big software issue, to me is pretty annoying. It is a great phone but this is not good for me. To bad this phone can't be rooted to run a different ROM!! Dammit AT&T!!!!
Fixed the multi tasking problem a little bit and now the browser doesn't refresh as much as before.
You have to go to developers option and under apps make sure background is unchecked. If it's already unchecked,check it, restart , uncheck , restart.
Most apps won't refresh now including browser.

under developers options and apps theres a "background processes limit" but not just background that can be checked/unchecked...
Don't keep activities. That's what you have to check and uncheck.

yea that defaults to unchecked. and i just tried checking it, backing out, going back in and unchecking it and so far i'm not noticing any difference but we'll see what happens...
Are we absolutely sure it's downloaded again? Or is the DOM of the page simply refreshed? Meaning while minimized, perhaps everything is hidden to improve performance...Then when you come back to it, everything is put back on the page.
Do we know additional data is used and the page is completely downloaded again?
I've seen this too and it just looked like a page refresh and it loads back instantly for me. So I assumed it was purely visual (either by design or by accident). However, it could have also just as easily downloaded everything again very quickly...

well isn't the fact that games don't resume where you left them further proof that it's not actually "multitasking" its just starting the app again. it just happens in the browser's case to remember what page you were on. on an ipad for example you can have 20 games open and they all resume exactly where they were when you switch back to them... i think its a multitasking issue with either this phone or android 4.0 in general (i haven't used any other 4.0 phones, just 2.3 on back, so i'm not sure about that)
I can't find this exact problem on here, so I'm risking posting a thread.
I installed Opera mini and mobile on my sidekick and now it always asks what browser to use when I click on any link (or when I search on google and it redirects). It never remembers if I check the box to set the default. Never ever. After a hundred tries. After deleting the default in the settings. Reboots galore. Nothing. Still asks. It's so annoying I can't stand to use web on the phone at all. At least I no longer even come close to my data cap these days.
In the settings it has the built in Web set the default, and none of the other Opera browsers are set as the default. So it's not got two browsers set, which was my theory at first.
I guess I should delete every third party browser.... any other suggestions?

If you want a good browser with data compression, I've found that UCWebrowser and Ninesky work great. I used to love Opera Mini but then came those damn reboots after the recent updates to the newer versions.

Yes it was in between updates. And yes, opera's updates were annoying me, actually.
I de-installed both operas, then rebooted. Then when I went to a link (whilst already in the default web browser) it then asked about whether it should use Textonly, which is something I'd installed long ago, but it never asked about before on the list of possible browsers.
It seems to be remembering to use just Web now that opera is gone. Thank the goddess! And thanks for your help. The relief I feel really shows how aggravating this had become.
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 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.
I seem to be having a weird issue with my S8+. Whenever I open a Facebook notification, instead of going into the already open Facebook app and refreshing to the Notification point, I get a new Facebook app instance launched (up to 3 at a time).
Also the erratic notifications are not visible in the main app, even if I refresh.
I have only one Facebook account, no third party FB apps. Just the Facebook (not Beta) app and FB Messenger app (and that works OK).
Given that the FB has burned through half my 2GB data allowance this month I'm inclined to blame some of it on the triple instance eating through resources.
I've been reading a lot on how the real FB app is a total battery hog and Data hog due to running background processes. I can't comment on your odd issue when opening FB but suggest you consider an FB alternative. I'm trying out Friendly for FB. It includes Messenger too. Seems to be way less intrusive (running in background) but I can't quote any stats for you. I am seeing better battery life now. I don't look too much at data usage since I have unlimited. Good luck!

It's because the Facebook app sucks. I would suggest turning any auto play/upload options to save data by the way.

Yeah that was burning a lot of people when Facebook first enabled it and of course it's on by default in the app when you install it clean.
Same issue!
I'm also a Nexus 6P upgrader, and I'm experiencing the same issue! It's actually the ONLY annoyance I have with the 8+, though I was also quite fond on generic Android, so I'm working to adapt my phone settings to that experience, as much as I can...
I'll be interested to see if there's a solution to this. Currently, I'm just avoiding clicking on the notifications, or remembering to close the extra Facebook app(s) if I do.

Same thing happening to me. Are you also getting the Facebook status bar issue where it's going wonky all the time?
I think as a workaround if you just launch FB app and go to notifications within the app you are fine. As you said if you go from a FB notification it seems to open a new FB process which is definitely not good for battery or memory.

Problem is the app doesn't show the (same) notifications I get from SystemUI. So I get different notifications from Android and different from the app. It's like they are fighting each other.
I tried disabling the Samsung preinstalled Facebook packages but the issue remains.
I seem to have resolved the issue.
First a couple of notes.
I've had the phone since May. I got the June and July updates, but issue was not resolved.
I did a full reset and issue persisted.
I did a full reset without any restores from Google or Samsung. Didn't even login to my accounts. Same thing.
So I did a full flash of the latest official ROM using Odin. In the process I used the European unbranded CSC instead of my provider's (CYV Cyta Vodafone).
Problem solved. So apparently it was something to do with that specific branch. Minor market would also explain why I seem to be the only one reporting this.
Hmmmm! I seem to have this problem. Not rooted on a G955W. Anymore clues?
I do have it as well
Same issue on note 8
I seem to have a similar issue where Facebook will have more than one instance running after a while. I can alternate between the two instances running by pushing home and then going back into the app so for instance it will be in a video where I left off and then when I push home it will go to a an instance where I am commenting on a post and then when I push home again and go back it will go back to the video. The only way to temporarily fix it is to force quit the app for me.
As many people have know already, apps is still shutting down in aggressive manner even if they have been white listed. This is because there is a war between Vivos Imanager that try to shutdown everything to save power and androids own power management.
I will tell you how to stop the conflict between Imanager and Powermanagement, the solution is very easy but most people that complain have not noticed this detail.
This deserves its own thread cause this really solve all strange problems I have had with vivo nex (chromecast problems also solved now)
This is mainly important for push notification apps, video apps, and apps with chromecast ability.
We need to understand that Vivo have put their enchantments ONTOP of android, but android still is higher in hiracy but vivos apps trying to shut down stuff.
You must white list stuff both with the vivo settings and also android settings.
short repetition how to get push notifications work , you can either do it one by one in app info of each app or thru I manager and and permission manger)
Use whatever method you most comfortable with permission manger gives a good overview of app permissions.
Permission Push notification apps need is in app info screen
app Info/ Permission/single permissions: enable all in the device management section, autostart is the most important toggle. other options can depend on the app and its functionality but add permission to all in the top in the device management category.
App info/ notifications: enable the toggle as you desire decide if you want to see it on lockscreen, I can recomend to not enable "display notifcation details on locked screen" this is bad for privacy since people can read your messages if you dont guard your phone.
How to end the conflict between Imanager and Android Power mangement
As I said the solution is very easy but VERY important, since Vivos own software have lower hiracy in the system they Imanager and Android in conflict, this is why even though you have white listed everything in settings apps is still shutting down.
What you need to to is to go to control panel or task switcher and you will see a lock, if you doing it from the control panel which I recommend swipe down on the app you want to let stay in memory and not shut down out a lock on it. Now apps will not shut down, this is required for push notifications to work as intended also this must be enabled for all apps you want to chromecast from otherwise you will have to reload the app you casting from, this was a big problem with youtube before I was going back to the app and it was reloaded. This detail is very important and this is simply very bad design by vivo, since you basically have TWO power mangement systems in one system that dont work with each other. Now when I have added lock on all push notification and chromecast apps all seem to work just as good as any other phone. Keep Google app with lock on and home app on too if you want to make sure chromecast work, if you cast from browser then put lock on it too. Its easy to put a temporary lock on apps in control panel so you dont have to have it memory permanently keep in mind, also, you can shut down apps in task switcher...lock is only active as long as the app exist in task switcher.
Do you have problem with google sync services you can add apps in Imanager/autostart/startup( at the top)
Startup permission means (allow startup by other applications) When looking in the start up records screen it seem it is mostly the google sync services that want to start/awake other apps, if you have any specific problem that you think is related to google sync service enable, personally I have not enabled it cause I think the battery will take a big hit cause I see the android sync serivces want to wake up apps a lot. If Android sync service is for some how very important for you then enable it, but personally I think that the syncing is restricted is one of the reason why Vivo Nex have better battery then most.
Yes, maybe you could just remove com.vivo.pem in adb shell.

It’s Vivo battery management.
All other methods I tried didn’t work to me even first post.
I’m not getting notifications from time to time from various app.
Those stupid restrictions by Vivo software is hilarious.

It is vivo's battery mangement app which is more aggressive.
I have no negative impact after uninstalling it.

what about the battery usage.. Are we still getting 6hrs SOT?
Ok gays the news so far is very positive.
So far I’m getting on time notifications from various app using like messenger,WhatsApp,Gmail,outlook for the first time since late August(before that didn’t have those issue)
Seems Vivo software becomes even more aggressively latest update and that results of notifications not working all time properly.
I’m continue monitoring it and report again after 1-2 days to be absolutely sure that this was the key answer for notifications issues most of as having especially after 3 disaster update got from earlier September til today.
Let me know that after uninstalling com.vivo.pem you should restart your phone to take effect 100%

Nice ,it take me one month to figure it out . At lease this method can let homescreen widget updating in background .
One more tip: If you want app to stay in background ,you should disable "battery optimization" which is a hidden menu in funtouchos. You can create a shortcut at Nova launcher.
Many cudos my friend.:good:
All day now from the morning all notifications working brilliantly from various app as I said.
I think we got the golden egg
Yes I know the battery optimization in battery settings.
I’ve already set from beginning my favorite app to exception of battery optimization.

Thanks!! Gave up with phone and went back so my S8 plus. Now this phone is useable again. An unlocked bootloader would be amazing but at least funtouch isn't as awful as before. Just removed com.vivo.pem and so far it's been great!!

Yes that’s the ultimate solution.
2 days now everything works like a charm and getting notifications on time without any delay.
Remove everyone Vivo battery management witch is so stupidly and so badly aggressively by killing background activity from important app our daily usage.

Me too had issue with Vivo public account after latest update but talked to Vivo support and resolve the issue after couple of hours.
Someone has changed the password(badly wherever did that)and Vivo needed to recover the Public account.

So what's the status now? Are you still having issues? Did you remove the battery management files and had issues after your last update? Or were the issues strictly related to the changing of the password on the Vivo public account?

Your issues were strictly due to the changing of the password, correct? Not the removal of the files?

Not having issues with Vivo account.
Few minutes ego tried it and re enter the known password and accepted normally.
Vivo account has nothing to do with Vivo battery management services.
