opening links in preferred apps - OnePlus 8 Questions & Answers

How do you get the setting always open with this app to work? I cannot get it to work. When I come out of the settings but the app is still asking the question again. My current workaround is to choose open once. Any ideas how to get it to work?

default program settings

i keep being asked which app i would like to perform actions - i make a selection & all is fine until the phone is rebooted, then off it goes again.

any help appreciated

Probably another program overriding your selections. Try try going to Menu button on your phone and select Settings option, scroll down to the Applications section and tap it. On the next screen, tap Manage Applications and then the All tab on the subsequent screen, scroll down the list of apps until you see the App in question listed and tap that entry. On the next screen look for the "Launch by default" section and hit the Clear defaults button. Reboot and select the default program you want and see if it sticks on the next reboot. Let me know if this helps.

good logical advice, which you would assume would do the trick.
unfortunately, it doesn't fix the problem
i was wondering if there's a file somewhere whch can be edited & locked?
im not 100% sure where those things are saved, maybe in settings.db file of the android settings app.
Check your phones app directory, there should be something like
com.android.providers.settings and com.android.settings
I could imagine that the filepermissions are wrong on certain files and thus your new selection are not saved.
i've searched for hours with no success for a db file. i do believe you are on the right trac but it'll take a smarter mind than my own to highlight where the setting is hiding.
there is a lockscreen toggle option on the redux2 rom, so i've asked over there.
thank you both for your thoughts

Sorry. I didn't actually test it when I answered your question...I know that for the Notification Toggles app, making it a system app will allow it to toggle your GPS. It seems that Tasker has a built in popup that doesn't allow GPS to be set based on your version of Android, as in it doesn't even let you attempt to see if it works. The popup does suggest downloading the "Secure Settings" plugin, link below. I have no experience with it but based on the reviews it seems to work.

Edit: Just tested out Secure Settings and yeah, it works. Just download the helper app from within Secure Settings and you're good to go.
Thanks. I kept trying and trying to enable GPS and finally it let me do it. I'm rolling now!

If you are using facebook messenger, and the chat bubbles, just close them and it will work If not, than some other app is causing the trouble, so just go to recents and close all apps.

Advanced Messaging Service NOTIFICATIONS (HTC U11 Life)

Perhaps I have not searched enough to find a thread about this topic, but is there a way to simply turn off the permanent Advanced Messaging Service notification (and not disable VoLTE)? I looked at a thread on the internet that suggested to force stop the app, but naturally, it restarts when it is used by a service on your phone. This notification is extremely annoying and never goes away. Although this app is visible in the list of apps (and/or notifications), the only option is force stop for the app itself, and for notifications, the options are grayed out so I can't turn them off.

I appreciate your reply but I paid and downloaded that app and it's only for rooted devices. Is this the only way to get rid of the notification?

Question widgetupdatet and musicproxy

I can successfully run widgetupdatet and musicproxy on my uis7862 unit.
But I think i need to make it start at boot/wakeup and also make it not battery optimized
So for start at boot/wake up, i turn it on with User - application. But this make widgetupdater app show up everytime when unit boot up, which i prefer it to hidden
For battery optimized setting, I don't have battery option from my setting menu.
May I have your advice on this?
@KёniG
Thanks
Hello.
The newest firmware doesn't have battery settings. Install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut and find "Settings suggestions". Launch it and type in the search field "Battery".

cool, thanks. Let me try this app on my unit for battery setup part
May I know how about the startup part, anyway I can make the app screen do not popup and make a more silent startup?
(for my firmware, I can make app startup automatically in settings -> user -> application settings
Thanks again
@KёniG
I've switched to paid version and turn on "silent start" seems it will just flash then go away which is good now.
However I don't find the way to open the app to change settings anymore (don't see the icon at notification menu) . need to wipe out the app data to get back to setting screen

My answer above is about silent start up.
If you have the restricted notification bar it is required to reinstall the app to enter settings. Silent mode is not appropriate way for you.

Thanks, so either I can still choose silent startup but need to reinstall app if i need to change settings
Or
I dont make it silent startup but i will see the setting screen everytime the unit starts?
and one last thing
After I use musicproxy+widgetupdater. When I use my wheel button - "mode" to change the source, it will go through radio, Phone, Bluetooth music, then my specified music player, then stopped if i press "mode" again. Originally, the next app is the map and then loop back to radio. Is it normal behaviour?
Thank you so much
Played a bit more, seems AIMP is working fine to loop the button cycle.
Your problem got solved?

silent startup still make the app no longer configurable but is ok as I don't think need to always configure that often.
For wheel button issue, I find out is my specific app (KKBox) issue. If I change to AIMP or another music app then is working fine to cycle the sources.
And i think a setting which is quite useful for me is "Multiple music app" which will show current playing app info in that widget area
