When you click the link to download video in web browser, it comes up with two possible selections. One is "Video" which means you can watch video while it downloads. The other is "Internet" which downloads the video as a file to your Video app folder. You can select either as default by ticking the box underneath. I've accidently set one of them to default by mistake. How do i get the option back of being able to select both methods of download?
Thanks

Go into your settings, and into the App Development or App Management area (forget what its called..=/). Then, find the one that you've set as the default and press it to open some options. One of those options should be "Clear Defaults", and that should take care of it.

Help!! I was messing with the widgets and when I tried Picture Frame I was asked to set a default action and accidently hit ES FileManager. Now I can't figure out how to change it to something else.
Everything I've read said select Settings->Applications->Manage->Clear Defaults but I don't know what App to clear. I cleared everything I could find that had Defaults and it still won't let me change it.
Once I do get to change it, what do I change it to?
You could uninstall both app, and reinstall. that should do the trick.
The app came with CyanoMod and I tried re-flashing the ROM without success. I suppose I could delete the user data too.
I 'think' if you go to settings - applications - manage applications and find the app your referencing then clear data it should prompt you to choose a default again.
The problem is I can't find the application. That's why I indicated I cleared defaults on every app that showed up that had the button as a choice. I may have missed it somehow. I was hoping someone could tell me which app or that it took something else to do it.
It's a widget, so you can just drag it to the trash can from your home screen to get rid of it. Also, the default you would want to clear is the app you associated it with (your file explorer app). It is looking for a folder where photos are located so it can display them. So you can navigate to the DCIM folder (or wherever your photos are located) with the file explorer program you used. But if you go to manage applications in settings you should be able to clear defaults for that file explorer app and the next time you try to use that widget it will ask you to choose what app you want to use (probably gallery would be the best choice).
Let me know if this works for you!
That was it. I was looking for a photo app not Es explorer.

For all who like the new smooth Gingerbread stock browser but would like to set the User Agent, here are the steps to do so:
1. Open your stock browser
2. Type about:debug in the address bar
3. Press the menu key and tap on Settings
4. The latest option (UAstring) allows you to change your User Agent
5. Disable the "Show Java console" option.
This option is ignored unless about:debug is enabled. So if you see you're getting redirected to the mobile versions of websites you'll just have to retype it again in the address bar.

The settings are not saved after killing the browser or reboot. The only way to make it permanent is to edit the browser apk.

On Gingerbread they are saved. I have reboteed 4 times since editing that option and it never reverted back to default.
No need to edit the apk, so

If you look in the uastring field it wil show you "desktop" but if you try let say bbc.com the browser will redirect you to the mobile site.

I have this issue too. Even if I change it, it seems like it won't work unless I actually open up settings, and reselect Desktop (even if it is already selected), then reload the site.
It also does not persist through closing/reopening.

I tried this and it works!
Even tried opening bbc.com and it shows the full desktop view on mine.
Thanks!
I'm curious, are you guys using Gingerbread's stock browser now, but were using a different browser when you were in Froyo?
Ok, I got it. The browser does save the setting, but it ignores it unless debug mode is on: try rebooting, go to bbc.com and you'll get the mobile version; type about:debug and reload the page: Full desktop version! So as a temporary workaround it is enough to type about:debug when the browser is opened; I suggest also disabling "show java console" within the settings. In the meanwhile I'll edit the apk so that this option isn't ignored, shouldn't take long once I get to use a pc

Go to settings/apps/all apps, scroll to the stock browser, click on it, scroll down and clear defaults. Back out of settings, go to your app drawer, click on the desire browser, a pop up window will pop up asking which browser you want to use and will also have check box asking you to either set that one browser as default or to always open that one browser. Check the box and choose the browser you want as default and you're done.
By the way, this better be for the Htc One.
Hi guys
When editing a contact and adding a picture to it, it used to give me several options, like whether I would like to add the picture from Album, Picture Editor, Picture Viewer, File Manager etc and then it would ask Once Only or Always...
Well somehow Dropbox got selected together with the Always option so whenever I want to add a photo to my address book it only now offers me Dropbox.
I can't figure out for the life of god how to reset or reverse that so that I can select photos from my album again...
Any help?
Please... Lol
Thanks!!

The only way which I know is to uninstall Dropbox form Android and install again, after that when you will select the pictures will appear all the options.
Thanks I will try that!

Yhea, I know, in this case working what way. If you do this with Whazzup, for example you want send a pic and you select Always with Album, in this case you don't have to uninstall Whazzup but just keep pushing the botton attachment and the option will appear. Should working that way for everything but actually is not.

Or you could go to SETTINGS > APPS and then "clear default" in the app you don't want to be the selected by default... Is not necessary to uninstall...

Ok, so try this, go to Whazzup, and try to send a picture to someone, whazz will ask you which album or whatever you want to use, select always and the Album which you like, now when you want to send a pictures you will always use the same app with the album which you selected by default.
Now go to Settings > Apps > Whazzapp and see in you can click on Clear Default, because to me is not working in that way, maybe with some app only.

Because the one you need to clear is not whatsapp... Should be the app that is by default opening the pictures... for example "Settings > Apps > "Gallery or media app opening the pictures by default in whatsapp" then "Clear default"... I hope I could make myself clearer this time...
I hope it helps

I'm in the same boat. I don't seeing the setting anywhere within the note5. As soon as you choose an app, it sets it as default.
