When you click on a link within an application you are often asked which application you wish to complete that action, with a tick box to opt in to always using your chosen application to complete that action.
Where do these settings live? Can you reset them individually?
you need to go to settings > applications > manage applications, then select the app in question and select clear defaults
I tried that. It was for the XDA Developers application and it says no defaults are set.
Ah, problem solved. It was the application I had chosen, in this case the internet browser, not the application I chose it from that needed its defaults resetting.
Homesmack is a nice app to set default apps and reset

After much searching only way to manage 'Account & Sync Settings' seemed to involve reinstalling, setting account to corporate, or deleating data & forcing new setup. I was not thrilled with any of these options, so I experimented some; involved banging head against wall repeatadly. Finaly tried something that seemed to be TOO simple, but it worked.
0) Have LauncherPro installed
1) Long press on home screen
2) Select 'Shortcut'
3) Select 'Activities'
4) Select 'Account and Sync Settings'
5) Select 'com.android.settings.ManageAccountsSettings'
----------
6) Select icon on home screen
7) Add, delete, modify, sync, etc your accounts
1-5 only need to be done once.
Same here. Latest TnT Lite, no "activities" in the shortcuts list. Is there even any other way to get to accounts & sync?
Thanks!

Yeah it was added as an option by LauncherPro.
Available from market or download from www.lancherpro.com .
Don't even have to run it, just install.
Finally an easy way to manage Google accounts on the GTab.
I ran into a gmail sync issue. Went to fix it but I didn't see "Gmail Storage" application in the Application list under All.
Is it hidden or renamed?
I "fixed" the problem with a factory reset but if/when it happens again I'd prefer not to reconfigure and lose game and app settings.
Thank you for any insights.
go into the app management, go to gmail, tap "Clear Data"
I did try that before flushing to factory, just left me with a wait to sync screen in Gmail. I did give that 30 minutes.
I know on my old Motorola Droid one when this happened I'd go to application management and stop Gmail and clear it then clear the Gmail Storage app. After that it would sync up happily.
If you are like me and accidentally set up backup assistant and want to turn it off (maybe because google is already backing up all your contacts) - here is a way to do it:
go to Settings / Applications / Manage Applications /All Tab / Sync Service and clear data and storage and this will disable it until you open app again and then it will prompt to set it up again.
Hope this helps
So, not sure what I did, but my Facebook account has disappeared from my list of accounts on my phone. When I go to add a new account, the Motorola Facebook icon is already checked. If I select it, it says I can only have one Facebook account. So, it both does and doesn't think i have a Facebook account. The icon in the list from the Facebook app does nothing, which i think is normal behavior. I do not get profile pics from Facebook in my contacts, so it is not syncing.
Truth be told, this is only an annoyance. I do not want to reset to factory (I have way too many apps to reinstall, which would be more annoying than this problem). But, if anyone can think of how I could manually convince the system to let me re-add the account, any suggestions would be appreciated.

hi, I have exactly the same problem, so I will aslo grateful for help in this matter
I had the same problem, and I did a trick with SQlite Editor
Install it then,
In SQLite Editor you select: Accounts Storage -> serviceaccounts.db -> accounts -> then you delete the line which have "Facebook" in the column "account_pretty_name"
After a reboot I was able to re-enter a Facebook account in the blur app.
And now it works perfectly

This is an older thread, but I'm having the same problem on my new RAZR MAXX (Verizon, unrooted, stock 2.3.6). I have 2 facebook icons under "My Accounts", one that allows me to put my log in info in and nothing else, the second that does nothing when I click it. I am not able to get my calendar or my contacts to sync with facebook and I'm at a loss.
What I've tried so far:
Rebooting
Deleting the FB account info and re-entering it within the My Accounts settings.
Uninstalling FB app (the unresponsive FB icon goes away in My Accounts), reinstalling and rebooting.
When that didn't work I ended up calling the new Google help and the person I talked too ran me through the steps I had already taken and suggested I contact FB as it appears that the issue is with the app. I am pulling the app straight from Google Play, but it would make sense as that is the culprit since it's not syncing with Calender or Contacts.
Howdy,
I have the Galaxy Tab Pro SM-T250.
I have downloaded a webpage to view off line (.htm)
When I click on the .htm file HanCom Office tried to open the file & failed. I turned off that program & cleared it's cache. The Launch by Default section had a grayed out Clear Default button for that program (as many of the online guides suggested I click the Clear Default button)
Under Default Applications for the entire device there is nothing under Clear Defaults
When I try to open the .htm file after stopping the HanCom Office application, I receive a pop up window which reads "Unable to find application to perform this action."
I do not have a box pop up asking for an application to open the file. If I did, I would have Firefox do it.
Thank you very much!
Actually most mobile browser are not set to open local HTML files (since it's an unusual behaviour on a mobile device). To solve your problem you should use a specific application from Google Play, like Offline browser.
Also, if you're using Android 4+, you can save web pages for offline navigation directly form the default browser, although you can open them just in the browser itself.
